Chapter 6 - World of Beasts

A dark Portal opened

And Jacob appeared outside a large field.

Wearing a black robe that finely suits him raising his charm, he looked his surroundings admiring the scenery and noticed a large gate that almost pierced the sky standing menacingly.

He quickly makes his way to the gate, upon reaching there he heard a loud shout and felt a huge pressure mount on him and fell on his knees.

"Stop there" and two men wearing a cloth with a special symbol on their chest appear before him like ghosts.

"Who are you! what's your business here"

The first of the guards ask with threatening eyes.

"I am Jacob and am a bit lost I came here to awaken, Jacob spoke with difficulty."

And despite them looking like humans their aura feel different and they must be really strong he thought.

Even if you are here for the awakening ceremony everyone should already be in here from the portal?

The second guard noticing something about Jacobs black robes immediately convey his thoughts to the first guard. Shocking him!

He immediately redrew his pressure acting like nothing has happened, he brought out a Gold medallion and placed it on Jacobs chest and it magically sank in his cloths.

Jacob was really puzzled by their sudden behavior but felt relief that he is safe, thanking Madam Feng for the special robe.

"What I just gave you is special artifact that will help you awaken, the guard spoke vaguely."

And the Gates immediately started opening bashing him in sun light, making him squint his eyes.

He entered the gate seeing so many unique people here with or without being an awaken they could easily beat him up.

I feel so inferior here, I hope I get a good quality ability, everyone here is a monster he thought to himself walking past some people getting attention in his special robes.

"Can you see his robes he must be a Divine Beast and from the robes he must have the bloodline of a Void or Shadow beast, they talked amongst themself."

"From what am hearing it seems like this robe must be of importance, Jacob thought."

Jacob then approached someone from the crowd.

"Do you know were and when we are awakening? He asked a young guy that stand out from the rest of the people there with his dark green eyes, dark hair and olive skin.

The guy looked at him in reverence; it's quite far from here and it will start in about three hours from now. The first being Divine beast will enter before others.

I can take you there if you want the young man said eager to accompany him there.

Jacob didn't refuse the help as he was clueless in this world and they both started moving to the place.

************

Seated around a table two men shrouded in darkness their facial features shrouded could be seen talking.

You say what! You saw a human being in this place?

Yes! Outside the gate the guards could be seen, I stopped them before they could do anything drastic.

It's an impossible thing for a human to appear here in this part meant for beast in Utopia. So shadow what are your thoughts on this he asked.

Shadow that has remained passive mostly in the conversation, muttered do you think it's fate at work. The man named shadow said with uncertainty.

"So Mr Darkness what can you describe the features of this person so I can find him with my powers."

Darkness thought for a moment, he has dark hair, eyes and is wearing a black robe, ok let me see Shadow said.

And some shadows in a part of the room surged forming a mirror revealing two figures. Shadow looked deeply into Jacob.

Jacob suddenly shivered a bit. Are you okay Jacob you don't seem well a moment there Kizer asked Jacob?

Am fine! It's just a slight cold he said, but kizer knew he was lying but didn't asked further.

Hey! Why are you looking deeply like that, you know it can cause more harm than good.

Sorry he just interest me, he is a human alright but there is just this thing special about him.

I've noticed it myself since he appeared at that gate Darkness said.

"But their attention was drown elsewhere when a Portal opened up in the room and a woman with long dark with an otherworldly aura entered the room, an angry expression on her face."

"Miss Feng" great to see you it's been a years sinces we have meet like this, they both greeted her not minding her aura.

How dare you! Use that technique on him when you have seen he is someone suitable to receive our blessing, as we are nearing our end. As one of the few Divine beast that that can't reproduce a direct bloodline with our full potential.

Wow! Wow! Calm down miss Feng nothing happened to him Shadow pointed to the shadow mirror showing Jacob in a perfect condition to her. This made Feng calm down a bit.

She bit her lip and said since we have found someone suitable for our powers let's start the process now! We should be done by the time he his awakening.

Darkness said in a grim tone you know once we start this there is no turning back and our already ending lifespan will shorten even more.

Let's just start already! Shadow said we are waisting time talking here.

And the shadows around him surged and a golden Artefact like a pen appeared

, and he started drawing complicated diagrams on the round table.

Meanwhile...

Kizer turned to Jacob we are thirty minutes away from the place and others should be there by now.

"Then let's run there Jacob suggested which Kizer agreed, Jacob gathered some strength on his legs and started sprinting feeling the wind brush past his cheeks and being surprised that he can run faster than before.

With an exited expression he continued running but looking to his side he saw Kizer keeping up with ease, quickly shattering his built up confidence on himself.

They quickly reached the awakening grounds filled with a sea of people.

Jacob was dumfounded at the large number and asked Kizer are they all Divine Beast he asked him.

"You must be new to this, Kizer said."

"New! You also came here like me and you are talking like you have been here for a long time. All these thoughts running in Jacobs mind.

"Kizer didn't even mind Jacob's strange expression and continued talking majority of the people here which amount in ten thousands are just regular Beast while about a thousand like me are either below divine Beast or just a little better than regular one's."

After talking what he knew Jacob turned silent and contemplated on what he said.

Seeing Jacob in thought Kizer turned to him I will like to follow you Jacob even when we go outside from here, Kizer said with a resolution expression as following a Divine beast like Jacob will definitely change his life.

Jacob was startled by this sudden request of Kizer he stopped to ponder about it.

But kizer seeing Jacobs indifferent expression and misunderstood it as rejecting his proposal but before his thoughts could go any further Jacob next answer relaxed his nerves.

Even if you want to follow me to the outside world we won't appear in thesame place Jacob said.

"Kizer smiled at his answer, as a beast my bloodline ability allows me to mark people for both enemies and friends but don't worry when you become an awaken you can easily remove it."

So will you do it? Kizer asked Jacob.

Well I see no problem in it so do it Jacob said.

Which part of your body will you want it to be? My arm Jacob stretched his arm outward and Kizer touches his arm with his palm and Jacob felt a warm sensation on his arm.

And as he looked at his arm he saw a small green tattoo of a Giant which Greatly surprised him.

"So you are a Beast Titan he asked him in surprised as he read in the school library that this particular set of Beast is extincted by now."

''No" am a half one so I won't be as monsterous as my ancestors but my other parent is a Divine Beast.

Wow! Jacob couldn't help but exclaim getting the attention of some people, which made the both of them change their position.

Let's not talk about that now Kizer said feeling down, which Jacob noticed and changed the topic.

So when is the awakening starting?

"Any minute now"

Hey look up there! Someone shouted. As everyone stared in the direction..

A woman flying in flaming wings landed on a platform in the area.

Hello everyone! she said already getting their attention. My name is Raven a Divine phoenix and I am here to open the door to the Divine Tree of awakening.

This caused an excitement in everyone's faces including Jacob.

"The Divine Beast will be the first to enter the World Tree."

If you know your medallion lit up climb this platform, and immediately several people in the crowd emerged to the platform with them being in the minority.

And each of this individuals having a superior aura around them, majority of the people are lacking and each of this individuals having huge potential.

And unexpectedly Jacobs medallion that has some how disappeared into his robe appeared and started glowing.

Kizer turned to him; see you later friend until we meet again.

And Jacob having no choice started moving towards the platform with people giving way for him. His black robes swaying in the wind, with his dark expression giving him the image of an expert.

Raven looked at this guy approaching not daring to associate him with that human.

He climbed the platform and some females giving him admiring stares.

"Raven coughed" since you are all here we can start the awakening and immediately a giagantic door appeared carrying otherworldly aura.

"Once you awaken and leave this place you will forget everything you see here Raven! Declared loudly reaching everyone. Jacob eyes opened wide at the realization."

But what I've read before didn't say anything about loosing memories Jacob muttered.

But Raven with her high Sense heared him a bit.

"The Awakening world of Beast is different from the ones of Humans and other races. The others don't loose memory of what they witness but for the Beast we do but if you somehow get your memories back you can get access back to this realm."

"Now enough chit chat it's time for you to awaken and get out of here she shouted with impatience causing everyone on the platform to rush in the door.''
