Chapter 6 - Water of ice

Kwasi sat with his grandma atop of the mountain as he listened to the story. Tears rundown Kwasi's cheeks after he heard the long story his grandmother told him. "My grandson, you look like your mother, especially your eyes, just like hers. You are her lookalike my grandson. And your mother never wanted to see you in this situation when you were young, it's the same now. If her soul hears you crying, she won't be happy and would not get a piece of mind" Kwasi was consoled to stop crying.

"Grandma, will the red moon appear again?" Kwasi asked softly. "I don't know my grandson, fate Will determine". "Fate??" Kwasi asked as he stood up to his feet and clenched his fists. "I promised my dad on his dying bed that i will find the root of my bloodline. I travelled all the way here to see my family dad drew their location on a map i took from him when he died, and i have. So now, it's time to take the needed go ahead effort to fufill my dad's promise. Grandma, please thank you for telling me about my past, please, i would like to take my leave now" Kwasi said as he turned back and his footsteps moving away was next to hear. "Wait, my grandson" grandma called out as she stood up. "I want to help you with something before we say our last goodbyes for now". "Grandma" Kwasi muttered as he turned around to his grandmother. Grandma turned her hand and a small pink lotus flower appeared in her hands. She threw it to the sky and at once, it evolved to a big pink lotus flower spreading its pink milky hue in the air.

"Grandson, please get on the lotus flower with me, i want to take you somewhere ". "Okay grandma" Kwasi said as he leaped of the ground onto the pink lotus flower. As for grandma, she took a step forward and dissapeared onto the pink lotus flower. Kwasi was amazed.

When both sat on the pink lotus flower, the lotus flower glided in for sometime and later went like a shooting star, heading to the thick forest. "We are going to the thick forest, for what?" Kwasi asked in mind.

At this piont of time, eve has fallen and the stars that appeared were countless. The dark clouds covered part of the sky from seeing. The fireflies lit their yellowish light in the forest, making most of the leaves of trees to appear yellow in colour.

Kwasi wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't. He kept looking up to the dark sky but his concentration was never there. He just wanted his grandma to see he had no questions, when going to an unknown place.

"My grandson, what is the question you want to ask?". When Kwasi heard this, he was surprised his grandma could read his thought. But she din't, not that she didn't, she can't. It was the behavior that Kwasi showed got him caught. "Grandma, please where are we going?", "To the water of ice. It lies in a mountain which is surrounded by evil foxes and park of wolves. The mountain and its surrounding is covered by mist, making the foxes and wolves unseen if not careful. The area where it is located has a cold temperature, and also, infront of the mountain lie a sleeping pink river, also called the home of the fox lady.

The fox lady is the powerful beast among the foxes and wolves in that area, not even male foxes or male wolves are to be compared to her, because of her unique and extraodinary skills and abilities, such as her 3 clones skill, teleport skill, charming eye to control one's conciousness skill, six evil tail ability and the most dangerous, evolving to a gaint fox ability. Her skills and abilities are very impressive and it's said she seem to conceal most of her talents. You let's not talk about it, i just hope we don't encounter any of them...". "Grandma, why are you taking me to the water of ice??" Kwasi asked gazing at his grandma. "You said it's time you take the go ahead effort to fulfill your dad's wish. While saying that, did you consider yourself, i mean, your strenght??. No, you didn't. I can sense a low strenght in you, so am taking you to the water of ice to advance Your strenght and abilities, so you can overcome every load that may be an obstacle, with your effort to succeed in what you want". After Kwasi was told this, he couldn't say a word, but just nod.

The pink lotus flower appeared to a mountain, 250ft tall above the ground, covered in mist. And just like grandma said, a sleeping pink river lie infront of the mountain. Different types of rocks were seen on the mountain, in which clean water flows from into the sleeping pink river.

Dust wasn't seen there around the mountain; it's only rocks and pink flowers having a dainty appearance and fragrance, could be seen. Because of the cold temperature there, the flowers looked more beautiful and relaxed.

"My grandson, we are about to go down, though i will cover us with my light domain, it will give us a cleansheet, meaning our scent cannot be sensed, but still, stay cautious".

The pink lotus flower dissapeared when grandma and Kwasi jumped off it, coming down to the mountain. "There are some wolves that can sense our scent if a mistake like any part of your body touches any object, item, or whatever here. And do not speak until we get to the water of ice"

grandma warned, as she covered she herself and Kwasi with her light domain.

The type of light domain grandma has, was possessed by king serpant. King serpant was the king of all types of snake in the Maama forest; one of the wild forests at the west pole. It was killed by grandma some years ago.

Kwasi looked around very carefully as he and grandma in grandma's light domain by-passed a hairy wolf into the dark mountain. The way to the water of ice is down, so they headed down when they entered the dark mountain.

Kwasi was surprised to see that even in the mountain, wolves and foxes patrolled around and others stood as guards to a dark way, leading to....* When Kwasi saw that, he said in mind, "there might be something valuable the dark way lead to".

Grandma and Kwasi in her light domain where invisible to the wolves and foxes as they went down, inside the mountain. A yellow fox flying at a high speed was approaching Kwasi and Grandma. And the way it looked serious on her face, Kwasi thought it has seen them. He placed his right hand in his pocket for an exilir, but non was there. "What do we do?" Kwasi asked in mind. Grandma held Kwasi's left hand as they slid by the fox. Kwasi took a long look at the fox they slid by, thinking it might attack, but it didn't, instead it went its way.

Grandma said sofly to Kwasi "we are here". Kwasi turned to look down and saw a glittering area, surrounded by 6 frozen gemstones, and in the middle lie a deep blue water, not extending much and it's circular in shape, the vapour emerging from the water was cold and can freeze an object. If not for grandma's light domain, Kwasi would have been frozen by now. Even in the the light domain, Kwasi could feel his body caught cold.

"You're not strong though, but you have to try your best to cultivate in the water of ice". "Water of ice". The water of a circular shape that lie in the middle of 6 frozen gemstones is the water of ice. It is true. Because its surroundings are frozen, only a small portion was rocky, and that's where grandma and Kwasi landed.

Before grandma deactivated her light domain, she gave Kwasi a small bottle which contained the water of Oma tree; an ancient healing tree which produces both fruits and water, each one of them can be used for healing. It's popular for its healing ability, but it can also rise one's body to a high level of adapting fierce power or aura for a short period of time.

After Kwasi drank the water of Oma tree, he had a feeling of an immediate growth and increased in strenght. Grandma gave him a cuboid chest which has a height of 4metres, lenght 5metres, and width 3metres. "There are some herbs and a peacock hallow bone in, that will help you advance your strenght. And in the water of ice, is the best place for you to cultivate, hurry into the water of ice before the Oma tree's water helping your body to adapt the coldness here runs out. At the bottom of the water of ice is extreme coldness. All the best". Grandma told Kwasi. Kwasi noded and run[ka,ka,ka,ka] and jumped into the water of ice.

In there, Kwasi felt both heat and cold, but the coldness was of a higher rate than the heat.

"Could it be this water melted ice?. Because hearing the name water of ice, i thought only coldness would be felt here, but instead, i feel both heat and cold. It may be that, an ice was melted in this water and the ice absorbed the heat from the water particles, reducing the heat temperature in the water and making it cold. Grandma said down here is extreme coldness, but that's not how it is here. It means she herself has not been down here before, or anybody. Because if someone has been down here before, he or she would have known the actual temperature down here. Am i the first person to come down here?" Kwasi said in his mind as he swam to the button of water of ice, where shining green grasses and pink flowers was seen.

Outside, grandma stood looking only at the water of ice as she muttered, "my grandson. Me myself, i haven't be down there before, and the ones who discovered this place are from our Village. They came to us one beautiful afternoon and told us they've discovered something extraodinary. We followed them here, that was my first time here. The oldest priest in our Village said the water was good for cultivation. To advance my strenght, i travelled across to find the Oma tree and fetched a full bottle of its water to help rise my body to a high level of adapting fierce aura, so I can cultivate in the water of ice, but....(sighs). You showed up, and i have to give what i can to you, to build and prtect you, just like your mother told me before she died".

At the bottom of water of ice, Kwasi sat with the cuboid chest down infront of him. "What is in this chest?" Kwasi asked in mind as he opened the cuboid chest.

Sparky yellow light lit on Kwasi's face when the chest opened. Quickly, Kwasi covered his face with both hands, and waited for the sparky yellow light to linger, before putting down his hands.

In the shining chest was different types of shining herbs, and white hallow bone. Firstly, Kwasi took all the berbs and ate it. After eating the herbs, he felt a boost in his organs and cells, making Kwasi feel strenghtened and an increase in growth.

On Kwasi's tower of faith, the nineth Realm level unlocked; meaning he has made a break through. And his soul and bloodline met at the Realm level 9 stage and formed to be one, forming formidable skills and abilities. Within that same time, Kwasi made another breakthrough; when his eternal spirit came to separate the soul from the bloodline to their paths, Realm level X's stage unlocked all of a sudden, waking up the soul and bloodline to meet at the Realm level X's stage on the tower of faith and formed to be one, forming another skills and abilities.
