"You also have to be able to fight properly"
"What do you mean, didn't you just say that I was free to go outside this island? How come your going back and forth now!"
"It's just countermeasure. Anyway do you think you can make the mist appear again?"
Hive didn't know what to say. The mist was something he didn't control, but it was part of him and his inscription so he should know how to control it.
"I can't say for sure. Right!"
"I forget to tell you, but for some reason I shaved my hand into the water subconsciously. Thinking about it now it was the right thing to do"
"How about we go outside and try something."
hive didn't want to leave his father alone. but he let go of his father and run outside past the body's of the masked men. the mist had already disappeared so he could see them clearly. The corpses didn't have a single injury on them. The damage was done in the inside. He liked that. His only dissatisfaction was that he didn't see them die.
"I will take care of the corpses then."
The door to the basement opened revealing canceled darkness and dust. There was a bunch of indescribable objects hiding behind darkness. He didn't turn on the light for a reason. He had put on a serious expression and started to drag each of them one by one. There was desk tag that stranded out of the darkness. It says, Nighfil warheart.
"Look like i didn't hide this good enough."
He picked it up and throw it to the darkness. After he finished he put on a gentle smile and come outside to help hive.
Hive was sitting on the ground brainstorming how to activate his inscription, but with no idea how. he felt that something was watching him and turned around immediately. It was his father.
"This inscription thing is hard."
"How about relaxing you body and mind?"
His father said, it sounded absurd to hive.
"You might have entered that world by experience severe emotions but the mist come out of the calming water."
"And you have to remember. When your body start to move without your order don't stop it. follow your gut."
He was going to argo with him but he had a point. And so hive followed his instruction. He slowed his heart beat and started to breath slowly and closed his eyes, he started to slowe his thougths. Suddenly inside the darkness of his heart he saw that same flame that burned him. this time it was small but it was burning brighter then a star. He felt the darkness as him. But He felt his mind as a matter, he could feel his mind and control it as if it was something physically possible to touch.
Bang. Bang. bang. he started to smash it together, he comprised his mind, smashing. Crashing and reshaping it. There was nothing calm about it. And it was what hive would consider not calm. But he listened to what his father told him to follow his gut. He reshaped it until it became something also. It was no a longer a mind but a single dimensional thing.
He opened his eyes to see mist everywhere, the mist stopped him from freaking out. It was something familiar, the same thing he felt when he was in that strange world. He stood up to hear everything the mist covered, the mist was something strange, but it must be part him?!
"Damn, it's impossible to see anything in here."
It surprised him, how could he feel everything inside the mist but not his father presence?
Hive said dramatically.
"You scared me."
Nighfil felt sorry for hive, he wouldn't usually get this tense. but after he saw his father almost die it would be understandable to be a little unstable.
"So what can this mist do beside kill and be a therapist."
"But isn't that enough?"
"If you're going to go to the other islands you need to be able to protect yourself"
Hive made a face of confusion that clearly says what does he need more of?
"Fine fine, I won't be asking more of you"
"Then can I finally go deeper in the island?"
"Eeeeh? Fuck no- actually you can but you have be here in 2 hours,"
Nighfil has thougth of a way to train hive.
"By having him fight the monster of the grey lands he could Awaken some of her blood."
"Stop this mist and follow me."
Hive Explorer blood started to boil, he could finally see the inside of the island. Hive might have grown on this island but he has never actually went to the middle parts. The mist started to fade by his command but his excitement did not.
He started running at the speed of 560km. He forget everything his father said and blitzed past him.
"This kid! I should just let him do his thing. If his going that fast that mean hes having fun. This is my apology to you!!"
Nighfil followed slowly. The island is 15 squire kilometers. He thought he doesn't need to hurry.
Hive finally entered the grey lands. The grey land looks like a normal forest except it has a ashen grey color. The color looks like it was burned and over and over again untiled there was nothing left. And from that ash the forest was made.
hive was running like a maniac. With a expression of someone on hard drugs and a grin from ear to ear. The sound of him running resembled the sound of a jet engine. And that was the plan to attract a lot of monster.
He reached the middle of the forest, he stood there and behind him was a path paved by him, and from there comes out the ashen ones, they were made from tiger's to lions to other mammals. thier Farr had ash flowing out of it with grey eyes, the ashen ones didn't fight among each other, they were all here when witnessing the descent and they will be here to witnesses the last bit of life.
He screamed.
"Hiii!!!"
It didn't do anything to them but just mad them mildly annoyed. But it wasn't in his interest for it to do anything.
He flung at them like a maniac, he covered the distance immediately. But suddenly everything turned grey and mist filled the air the second a gaint elephant tried to stomp him. He formed from mist behind the ashen ones.
"So i can also turn to mist. Great!. Hay fucklims!!"
He absorbed some of the mist into his body instinctively. He lowered himself and jumped to the ashen elephant. He flow right through but he became right open in the air. He sensed something coming towerd him, it was a enlarged ashen eagle. He immediately catched the eagles from its neck and slamed it to the ground.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he disappeared picking out all the weak ones and running towerd what looks like the leader of the ashen ones. It was a bull like creature with huge horns grown from the side and going backwards. It was twice the size of the elephant. It watched all of the them get picked out one by one but it didn't care. It only wanted a 1v1 to satisfy its desire.
"Come on!! show me hell!!"
It raised its front legsmand brought them down in a cricket motion. It flong forward faster then he could see. But he didn't need to see. In a tenth of a second he absorbed all the mist into his body to brace for impact. It crashed into him and thrown him. It continued running towerd him it bounced him thoroughly in the ground. It jumped into the air and fell on him crushing him underneath it's gaint legs. Hive started to punch it with a crazy expression. He compressed the mist in a single point between him and the heel chipping on his heel, the bull felt it and immediately jumped away.
"Come on don't back down now!!"
The bull raised its legs but hive immediately counterattack before it could. He jumped and punched it in the face. The attacks thrown it off balance. it quickly get up The bull didn't care anymore and charged At him and him followed suit. Headbutting the bull. But it was stronger and thrown him to air. While in the air disappeared into mist again. The bull looked left and he matched it and appeared in the left side, punching it repeatedly until it couldn't move anymore. The bull fell down on its belly.
"Good fight fucklim."
He crashed its head signifying the end of their battle.
