Jack: "Thanks man"
He says while nodding
Jack: "You really saved my ass"
He says in his cool-boy tone while still sitting on the ground with Lenny all over him.
Henry: "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have beaten him"
Indicating to the lightning attack that Jack released that hurt Balte in the first place.
Henry: "To be honest, I heard stories about Beasts, but I never seen a Dragon Type Beast before"
Lenny: "Yeah they are suuuupeeer rare, one of the rarest types and on top of that, big
bro even has a rare Drago-"
Before he could end his sentence, Jack shoves away Lenny indicating that he should stop talking and finally let loose of him.
Jack: "Anyways, what even is that stone the guy had been trying to kill us for"
Previously, Jack, Lenny and Henry had been attacked by a evil man named Balte. He was a mud type Awakening user, meaning his body was made out of mud and with that he
could create and manipulate mud by his will.
He was looking for a stone that was stolen from a fraud-stone trader by Lenny.
Lenny pulls out the blue, shiny stone, with a golden chain attached to it.
Lenny: "Here it is, I don't know why they call it a stone, for me it looks like a blue amethys-"
Again, Lenny gets interrupted by Jack who this time quickly grabs the stone from Lenny's hand.
Jack: "Hm, what do you think Henry"
Jack says while further investigating the amethyst like blue stone.
Henry: "You wan't to know what im thinking?"
Jack: "Yeah don't hesitate"
Jack says, expecting an explanation that would explain the happened event and the mistery behind the stone.
Lenny, who is by nature a smart boy, now is highly interested in Henry's thoughts, with
his expectations rising rapidly every second.
Henry: "Yeah i have no idea"
He answers with a straight and innocent smile, not detecting that he instantly shattered Lennys high expectations and Jacks hope for at least a decent explanation.
Jack: "That stone is a problem; we should get rid of it"
Jack says, basically taking over the role of the leader.
Lenny: "To be honest, I don think so, this stone must be of high worth since everyone gets crazy around it. We should at least hold onto it for quite some time".
Henry: "Yeah, i think so too, I mean this smells like an adventure".
Henry responses with a big smile and shining eyes, as if a child just watched an epic episode of his favorite cartoon on the TV, while also completely missing the point of Lenny's argument.
Jack slaps his hand onto his forehead, groaning in disappointment.
Jack: "This is a stupid idea; we only get ourselves in more trouble.
Henry: "Alright we are three people, let's vote"
Lenny and Jack glance surprised by Henry's smart suggestion, thinking that only dumb statements would come out of Henry.
Henry: "Okay then, who is for tossing away the stone? They should now raise their hands".
Jack is the only one raising his hand, his disappointment is basically written all over his
face.
Jack: "Come on guys really? this is stupid"
Henry: "A vote is a vote"
He responses before patting Jack on his shoulder. Jack then glaces onto his little brother who just gives him a shrug. Lenny and Henry grin at each other before high fiving.
Jack sighs in disbelief.
Jack: "Alright what's out next move then boss"
He says to Henry, since he lost the vote to him, basically handing the leader role to him.
Henry: "let's visit my sister"…
Lenny gets confused. At first, Jack smiles in agreement about that suggestion but then
also falls into confusion.
Jack: "And why exactly should we visit your sister? Don't get me wrong, I like the idea
but im also confused"
Henry: "Guys, my sister is smart, so she will know what we should do, she also knows a lot of people and she is very strong"
Lenny gives a questionable expression, still doubting why they should do that. Jack otherwise quickly changes his mind, agreeing Henry.
Jack: "Sounds good for me"
Responses in an agreeing tone.
Lenny: "Okay I guess, where is she right now?"
Henry: "Last time I spoke to her was a week ago, that time she was at the port city Grenzborg"
Jack: "Good, so still in Grafenberg provinze"
Grenzborg is a port city, north-western of Gravental. While Gravental is more on land, Grenzborg is completely adjoined to, the Lumarian Ocean. One of the 4 major Oceans.
Grenzborg is very important for the Grafenberg province since most of its in- and deports are located in Grenzborg. It is also the fish-capital of the Great Empire.
Henry, Jack and Lenny are now standing before a train schedule, at the Gravental-trainstation.
Jack: "Great, we have to wait 20 minutes"
Jack says frustrated.
Henry: "Twenty minutes ain't that bad right? I mean, it leaves us some time to talk"
Henry repsonses with enthusiasm.
Lenny: "Yeah right, you haven't told me anything about your Awakening, what's with that blue energy that completely wrapped around your arm?"
Lenny is happy, he loves talking about supernatural things like Beasts and Awakenings, probably because he is still 13 years old.
Henry: "I wish I would know"
Lenny: "I haven't heard of an Awakening that has this kind of attribute, first I thought it's the
light Awakening but that wouldn't work since the Awakening color is yellow, then maybe I thought it's water, but this one is already knowingly taken"
Lenny references out the rules of an Awakening.
Lenny: "Of course there are rules for it,.."
Jack: "Uh-oh here we go, sorry Henry"
Lenny: "first rule is, there is only one of every Awakening type, means that there are not multiple users of a Water Awakening at the same time.
Second rule, if an Awakening user dies, the Awakening randomly is respawned in a Child
who is born around the same time, there is no limit of where the Child is on the world meaning that it does not affect where the last Awakening user had died.
Third rule, an Awakening slumber in a person until he "awakes" it, the criteria are not really known but the most well known and dangerously known criteria is awaking
it by combat."
Henry: "Does he always talks alot?"
Jack: "It can get worse to be honest, wait let me demonstrate you"
He says, before chuckling.
Jack: "You know Lenny, as a kid I always wanted to have a cool Awakening, but since I have a Beast, I can't have one"
Jack says.
Jack: "Don't get me wrong, I think having a Beast is way cooler"
Jack smiles at Henry and raises his tumb up, knowing what is about to happen.
Lenny: "For sure, but most boringly is having basic Soul-Aura"
Lenny here references the three major sources of strength.
Lenny: "To know what it is, it is important to know basically its fuel: Soul-energy.
It is basically the energy, won by the Soul. If your Soul-energy is empty, you die.
Soul-aura is Soul-energy, turned into useful strength inform from aura, that can boost
your strength, speed and agility or even lets you use cool techniques.
Awakenings basically is another form of Soul-energy. An Awakening basically replaces Soul-energy, leading to only being able to use the Awakenings element but on full control
with nearly no boundarys.
But you can't have full control of an Awakening instantly, needing training and hard work for a long period of time to fully get a hang of it.
Beasts are magical creatures, feeding on the very Soul-energy, naturally you die but a
Beast basically, similar to an Awakening, exchanges your Soul-energy with it's own, leading to the user to be able to use the Beast's ability and gaining a high healing factor.-"
Henry: "Hey our train is here"
He responses quickly to interrupt Lenny.
