Chapterr two:
Though his father gas said that, his voice betrayed his words. Laced with hint of sadness that couldn't escape his eyes.
"father!"
"yes son" Damien father regained himself having lost to his own thought earlier
"you said everyone awakens their magi once they turn five, what Magi would I get and how would I know I've awaken it?"
his Father walked to the sit at the side and pour himself a cup of tea, "for your first question, I really don't know.
everyone awakens unique Magi unique to them, though there are some that run down the lineage but its quite very few
others just awakens special Magi just like mine now
my father had the purple flame magi, same for my grandfather and the one before him
even my cousin brother had the purple flame magi but I on the other hand awakens the Aura sight magi
there are those with ice, wind, teleportation and so on magi.
as for how you would know if you've awakened your magi, that it'd self is natural
just like how a bird would know how to fly and a fish how to swim. you don't need to be worry about that
you still got plenty of time
in fact you are of more advantage than other your age, you already have the attributes of a tier 0 awakener even though you've not awaken
so you don't need to rush, relax and it would come when it due" waving the other questions he perceived Damien wanted to ask
its no doubt he would want to ask of other kids his ages since he hadn't come across any one since he was born till date
he had bugged him with this question countless time over but he never gave him a good enough answer
it not like he doesn't want to but he didn't know how to pass it. over the years he had craft a pendant that fully suppressed Damien unique aura to a significant level
after all he can't afford warding off beast every time because of him, so he wasn't scared of his aura being detected as an anomaly or something
his concern is why his parent had decided to dump him off, he could still recall the aura he saw mixed up with their golden Aura
dark grey, oliver green which signifies fear and dull grey which represent fear, disgust and regret respectively. so he couldn't tell why they were scared of the child
is it his look or something else, he had trace his features over and over again as he grew IP but couldn't find any anomaly.
Damien having been aware his father is intentional evading his attempt to ask his next question bugging him, he decides to leave it be and left the courtyard
seeing Damien gone, he felt a sting in his heart as he really wish he could give him the life he deserved. he had grown so attached to Damien he practically see him as his biological son
Damien got to the edge of the cottage, gazing into the Dept of the water. using his hands he ripple the surface of the water in a rhythmically way
shortly after tenty showed up on the surface acting like your loyal house let before Damien who brought out a chunk piece of meat
"how about we make a deal, I'll give you this If you help me cross to the other side" Damien pointed at the meat and then the shore at the other side since he knew tenth couldn't understand his language
it still marvel him how his father is able to communicate with it easily as if it could understand human language.
tenth interchange gaze between the meat and the shore but decided to dive back into the lake, ignoring Damien lute to use him to get to the other side.
"stupid tenty, do you have to blindly obey father order even at the cost of good food" Damien grumbled as he tossed the meat into the lake and was quickly grab by one of tenth tentacles as if he was expecting this and had been waiting
"come back here you criminal" Damien rushed into the lake but was tossed out back by tenty, making a mocking sound at him before diving back deep
Damien kissed his lips, swimming to shore at his age isn't difficult as he had been practicing in his free time always living on the lake
but tenth wouldn't allow him go half before flinging him back to the courtyard.
Damien lay by the lake gazing into the sky for a long time before getting back on his feet as if recalling something. he drew his hands on the surface of the lake rhythmically like the last time and waited for a few moment but tenty didn't show up
a cocky smile emerged on Damien face seeing the subtle bubble raising to the surface from one side of the lake "I got you now, let's see how you would stop me"
without delay he dived into the lake and swam to the other side, emerging from the lake he dashed into the wood as quickly as he could
he didn't want to take chance on tenty waking up from the sleeping content he added to that meat or his father finding out he left
unknowingly to him, his father was starring at the spot he left through with a conflicted gaze.
"damn brat, always impulsive as always" he mutter as he picked up his sword and made his way out of the cottage
Damien playful ran through the woods like a curious kid, using his enhanced instincts he had horn for the passed five here to navigate the forest
from what he heard his father said sometime ago about survival tactics, its best to follow a stream down path because it would always lead to a settlement
and that's exactly what he is doing at the moments, tracing the stream oath down the forest. after some unknown time passed, he found sign of settlement up ahead and was delighted.
scaling through trees he arrived at the peripheral of the woods and could see a bustling settle filled with people going about their own business
instantly his delight took a huge blow as he notice a very stake difference between himself and those he could see especially the kids his age
the all have bright colour skin but he had one that looks so ghostly he could be considered dead of the dead.
he had seen his reflection countless time in the lake so he knew what he looks like
also he couldn't see anyone having the kind of eyes he had, at first he thought its just his father that was different but seeing a vast majority sharing the same features
it only goes to say he is the oddity in the group, his enthusiasm died down as he was cautious of how to approach the others
he looks to the side and found a few kids about his age playing by the side of the woods while their parent work the field
he cautiously approach the group of five using the wood as cover till he is an arm length distance away from them hiding behind a tree
"where did you come from freak" one of the youngster yelled a seemly younger female they are all surrounding
it turns out thy weren't playing but bullying a little girl about their age, Damien who was about to step out halt his steps a be decided to his and watch
the leading youngsters of the four surrounding the girl grabbed the little girl hands, pushing her to the floor
"answer us when we are talking to you freak" he yelled the second time with spark of electrics running around his finger's
"you don't want me to force you to talk do you" he beamed the girl a cocky get superior grin a if begging her to remain silent
now she had being pushed to the ground, Damien finally had a good look at her a and was stun for a moment.
she is just about his age with a very tiny subtle scale like texture skin and a reptilian pupils just like his own but different in appearance too
her hair also have this touch if sleek shiny texture which made her totally different from those around all the while exuding a mysterious allure
she just lay there on the floor, too shy and gentle to even look at her bullies who were mocking and scolding her
her eyes were focused on the floor, wrapping her arms across her body helplessly at the mercy of the others
"you still don't want to talk" the youngster grab her on her head, "dozen jolt of electric bolt ran through his hands unto the girl body causing her t jolt and convulse on the floor while the others burst into a flit of laughter.
Damien felt his inside burning, a hate and anger he had never felt before. the thought of watching the little girl suffer just because she is different
just because she is like him made him want to tear those kids apart. he couldn't help but imagine himself in her position
is this why his father left the human settle to leave in the woods, was this the reason he never wanted to discuss about other humans
was this why he never let him leave, is he suffering in isolation just because of him, wanting to protect him
