Present time...
Ethan and his friends sat in the living room. They'd just finished eating and were now listening to Ethan.
"What I'm about to tell you guys is very sensitive and I would love and appreciate if you could keep it a secret. I don't want to sound rude but if you can't keep it a secret, then I would have no reason to call you a friend anymore. Trevor is already aware because he's part of it but the rest of you are different. I'm taking a lot of chances to tell you this because if it should get out, it could cost me my life if not, my freedom. If you aren't willing to keep this a secret, then please excuse yourself. Besides, if you think you could deceive me by sitting here to listen and later divulge it to someone else, then I'm afraid you are really mistaken because I will know, and you might probably die. It is that sensitive and dangerous." Ethan talked in a very serious tone which no one had heard him speak in before, even Trevor, depicting how serious the matter was. He looked each of them in the eye and when he was sure they were ready, he released a deep breath.
"What I'm about to tell you is something very mysterious, even for me. My affinity, evolution and current level is related to my ancestral lineage and bloodline. I know it sounds funny to you but that is the truth. I will start with my awakening.
On the day of my awakening, it wasn't a coincidence that I was attacked by the serpent or appeared in front of its cage. I lost control of myself there, but I heard a voice beckoning me towards the serpent's cage and the rest happened. That episode shouldn't have kept me in the hospital for two weeks, but it was so because of what was happening to my body at the time. I was awakening my bloodline and lineage." Yes. Ethan was spouting nonsense, mixing lies with the truth.
"Afterwards, I've had encounters upon encounters and one of the inheritances I got from my ancestral lineage is something I can't tell you about now. But that inheritance is the reason for my fast growth and current strength. I've been getting quests and missions which I have to complete and fulfil to access the full potential of my ancestry. Through all these tests, I managed to awaken my path. I awakened my path before my fight with Leon, but it was sealed inside me because of the kind of path I awakened. I can't tell you that, but I can tell what I've figured out it can do.
It is through that, which is; I can make subordinates through my path, that I made Trevor my first subordinate. Trevor, please show them the symbol." Trevor showed his right hand, at the back of his hand, where the dark gold symbol was to the others. Without waiting for them to react, he continued.
"This symbol which identifies my subordinates, allows me to share some of my abilities and skills with them and it is permanent. Currently, the only ability I can share is the Sync ability. I hope everyone knows what it is?"
"No."
"No idea."
"I know something about it..."
"Okay. The Sync ability is a perfect bond between you and your spirit beast. It isn't easy to achieve as even Master level and above mages haven't achieved it yet. How I achieved it is a secret, but I've shared it with Trevor and now he also has Sync with his beast. The Sync ability allows you to use skills and abilities of your beast and vice versa but it also has levels which I have no idea about. I just achieved it. This also leads to the current mystery which is our evolutions.
I don't know if it's because of the master-subordinate relationship between Trevor and I or something else but we both evolved into vampires. If you think that I turned Trevor, then you are wrong. We both evolved into vampires which is also a mystery I'm trying to solve but all I know now is that we are related in some way. So that sums up what has transpired between us."
Ethan finished to shocked expressions from the rest apart from Trevor.
"Damn."
"You got to be fucking kidding with me."
"This is too much to take in."
"Is it possible for me to become a vampire if I become your subordinate?" Emily asked with a serious expression.
"No."
"What?"
"I can take you as a subordinate, true but I can't share my race with you, that I'm very sure. If you want to become a vampire, you can be turned by one."
"Can you turn me?"
"Yes, but do you want me to turn you?"
"Trevor doesn't know..."
"But he can learn."
"So, you will teach him?"
"Of course, I will but mind you, your transition of races would have to wait a little."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm able to understand my race better because of my lineage but Trevor is different, even though there's a possibility that we are related. Even if I teach him, he will first have to be sure of what he's doing and do it right otherwise there will be only three outcomes.
One, you will turn into a slave who only listens Trevor with no will of your own. Two, you will become a mindless bloodsucking beast, and Trevor would have no choice but to end you, and I don't think Trevor would be able to live with that and the last one is death by explosion. Plus, the process is very painful. I understand and know what you want but you will have to be patient for a while and wait for him to discover and understand himself better."
"I understand."
"Does mother know about this?" Harley asked with worry on her face.
"Yes and no. She doesn't know about the lineage inheritances and my path, but she knows of the ancestry and bloodlines and what it implies. It's a long story."
"What does being your subordinate entail?" Lamair asked.
"It's nothing to worry about. Even though I do not understand much about it, it doesn't take your will from you. In fact, you are as free as you can be, just the mark identifies you as my subordinate, for now plus the sharing factor which comes with it. Maybe, there will be command related shit like you will have to heed every command I give but you know I would never do that. Also, it doesn't change your affinity but rather empowers it and if you are lucky, you might feel your path. Trevor has already experienced it. And the last one is, you would see the world as I do, and your growth speed will be taken up a notch. That's all I know for now as most of its power is still sealed in me. I currently have access to 5% of the power of my path."
"Fucking hell!" Lamair exclaimed in shock, something uncommon for him as he was mostly the calm one.
"Just 5% and you are able to do this?" Clara asked in shock.
"Yeah..."
"Question?"
"Okay."
"You claim your path was sealed before you fought Leon. I figured that it wasn't the only thing which was sealed at the time. If I recall, you haven't learnt any martial arts apart from the basic combat techniques of the academy, not forgetting where you also got the energy suit from. You used a martial arts technique which hasn't been seen before but I figured you weren't using it well or more like, you couldn't use it." Emily said with squinting gaze.
"Were you even fighting at full power?" Clara asked.
"Hehe. You got me there. Always the sharp one Emily. My power was sealed by 50% at that time including half of my martial arts and my path. As for the energy suit, you will know how I got it if only you become my subordinate."
""Okay!""
"Huh?"
"Even if Emily and Lamair won't be your subordinates, we will." Harley said while holding Clara's hand.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes."
"Clara?"
"Mm."
"Okay. If that's what you want."
"Me too. At least with this, I can share something in common with Trevor."
"That's why I love you, Emily."
"Gross!" Ethan exclaimed with disgust on his face.
"You are one to speak, when you kiss Clara anywhere you meet her." Trevor retorted.
"One more question." Lamair finally spoke.
"Okay..."
"Are you a virgin?"
"What?!"
"The fuck man!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"You made it sound so serious..."
"I'm no longer a virgin." Ethan answered with an embarrassed face while scratching the back of his head.
"You fucking had a threesome on your first day?!"
"What does that have to do with this?"
"I will be your fucking subordinate!"
"Come on man... wait what?"
"Yeah. I'm in."
"That means all of you."
"Pretty much."
"Okay."
"So, do we have to do some ritual or something?"
"Ah... nothing. Just stretch out your right hands towards me." Ethan told them. They did as they were told. A small golden dot appeared on Ethan's forehead while his eyes turned golden. Simultaneously, the symbol on Trevor's hand started glowing. A golden light encapsulated the other as Ethan said the words the system showed him.
"As of today, you are in my care. You are my subordinates till the world ends. I am yours and you are mine. And know this; From the North to the South, East to West, only I reign supreme!"
"I accept master's decision in good faith and accept my co-subordinates." Trevor also read what the system showed.
The light covering them intensified and when it stopped glowing, they had symbols like that of Trevor's on their hands. They looked towards Ethan with confused expressions, but he just smiled towards with a tired expression.
"Trevor will explain everything to you. I worked myself there and I have to rest." Ethan told them before he fell unconscious in the sofa.
