''Listen, young one," it rasped. "Within your veins flows the legacy of our kind—the power to meld with darkness itself.''
but wasn't it the power of the earth?
'''You will know when the time is right, the true meaning of my power when you will be able to wield it and serve your purpose in this world.''
What is my purpose, why am I being chased, why is my family in danger and why are you here?
He didn't talk much today. I wonder when it would end and will have a proper conversation with him. I don't have time for these thoughts. I have a place to visit with the boys today, don't I Well, we agreed to meet at a restaurant a few miles away from the headquarters and it is still under their radar. If something goes off like an abyssal wraith comes for a chase, we would be prepared for it. There was not much to think about, wore my casual clothes and went off to the place. I got there in 20 minutes and was 5 minutes earlier than our scheduled time but I guess I wasn't the only one, both of them were already there and I joined them. Got ourselves a table and sat.
" So tell me Rudra, how are you managing here? I mean did you adjust yourself here?" Kairos asked. Well yes apart from that wraith chase and Lisa's beating, everything is normal. By the way, it seems like you both known each other for some time, how long have you known each other?" It's been 7 years, to be exact. We all are here from different countries and we didn't know each other before coming here, the same thing goes for those girls but the only thing that binds us is one single common thing." "Stop Kairos, we are here to have fun, so don't spoil the mood, will you," Caelum said. " And to know each other so that way we can trust our back to him...." and before he said further our order arrived. "Why did you decide to come here and risk your life, I mean you could have just stayed somewhere safe with your family," Kairos asked me as I was eating. Ya, I could have but then we would be living with the fear that those wraiths could attack us at any time, and would not be able to sleep peacefully. I want to be strong enough to protect them and them not knowing about it is the best for them. When that wraith attacked my family, my dad was seriously injured, and both my Mom and brother were traumatized. It was reported as a gas leak incident. Even doctors said that due to the shock, we were imagining things. That's when Lisa and Seri came and took me with them and here I am.
"How is your Dad doing?" He is better now, I talked to him. He was angry as I didn't say anything about my leaving for Seoul to him. So tell me how did you guys end up here? "Well me and and my sister were brought up by our grandma since we can remember" Sister? Do you mean your real sister or cousin's sister? "Real," said Kairos. wait does that mean both of you are holders or it's just you? "What are you talking about? We both are holders, me and Lisa, both of us are. Lisa is your sister? "Ya, I mean it's difficult to explain but, yes we are siblings. Don't get me wrong buddy but you both are opposites of each other. So are you both twins or something. " yes, I am 5 minutes older than her." Hold on a second, does that make Yumiko your grandmother as well? "I mean that is logical isn't." So Caelum tell me about yourself. " There isn't anything to tell about myself. We are just like you Rudra, our family was attacked and we were confused. Got recruited like you and are trying to get stronger to protect our loved ones."
After that, we went back to HQ and parted ways from there. I learned one thing all of us are from different places but our goals are the same, to protect our loved ones. Maybe one day I will be able to summon my weapon one day. It's like a dream come true but now I think about it, it should have just remained as a dream, not a reality where I would not be able to see my family, where wraiths are always ready to kill me and I wouldn't hear the spirit's voice inside my head. Just some things should remain a dream. Well, it's not a dream and I shouldn't complain. It reminds me of what Dad always tells me "Don't run away from the problems, it will always chase you, just like you can't hide from your destiny. Always remember son, face it on your head and you will find your solution in the eyes of your problem. Whenever you find yourself in darkness, the light will come to your rescue in the form of hope, your family is always with you, I am always with you, and Lord Shiv is always with you, my son."
I went to my room and tried to get some sleep and then again I heard his voice, "You seem relaxed today. Forgot you need to train? Just get up and train yourself."
Where would you think I should train You stupid spirit? You were there right, when that wraith attacked me and destroyed the training room.
Excuses. You should train your mind. I tell you, a mind is the greatest weapon. You should always train it.
you act like my mother who always tells me to read something. I went out with the boys to get to know them so that in the future, they would trust me to have their backs.
Trust is not something that is gained in one day over some dinner. it takes years to get someone to trust. You should trust yourself first, as you still don't trust me.
