STORMY NIGHT
"It's raining heavily this year will there be a flood ?" a young nun said to the old nun standing next to her.
"I don't know but if there is one we will be safe" the old nun replied.
"why not sister Mary was not our orphanage near the riverside?" the young nun asked with doubt.
"yes but you know that I heard father benedict requested the patriarch of the Roar family for a Rank 1 beginner mage to protect us"
"What! Did he ask for a Rank 1 beginner mage to safeguard us" Young nun was dumbfounded by the new information and asked.
"yes and..."
LIGHTNING!!
THUNDER!!
before the old nun could finish lightning and thunderstruck.
"We should move the kids so they're room they might be scared of the lightning and thunder."sister mary said as she picks up a candle lamp on her way toward the door
Opening the door.
"Sister Mary we are scared"
she saw the kids who were scared because of the lightning run toward the old nun
"Sister Mary "
some even started crying
"Now now don't cry"
but seeing the kid not stopping she helplessly said
"If you all stop crying I will tell you the story of the great hero of the Kingdom that stopped the demon emperor"
hearing it the kids that were crying stopped crying and asked
" Sniff... Sniff...really"
"yes yes I will now be good boys and girls come close to me so that everyone can listen Okay"
after saying it old nun sits on a bed that was near her and the kids sat wherever they could to hear the story.
seeing the kids eagerly waiting for the story to start old nun had a smile on her face.
"When the great war started there was grief and sorrow everywhere you see and go. but in that time of war a young man raised from the crowd...
OUTSIDE IN FOREST
A Man in a black cloak was running on a stormy night through the forest embracing a month-old infant in his arms
the way he was running looked like was being chased by someone.
suddenly he started to cough out blood
"Fuck!! the old injury is acting up"
he said as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
he pulls out a vial with red color liquid in it out of nowhere and drank the red liquid without hesitation.
"FUCK this is not working on me anymore did I pass the usage limit" He pulls out another one of the red vials and drink the content in it.
"it's not working as potently as before even if the effect is minimal I need to make do with it"Then he started to sprint again but with more force.
[Fuck!! If I could use my Astral aura I would have reached there by now.. no I can't they are tracking my Astral aura if they find me he will be in danger] the man cloak thought as he looked at the infant in his arms with the gentle eye who was soundly sleeping in his arms and said
"Young one until I send you to somewhere save this old man of your will not stop breathing"
he slowly started to increase his speed
but suddenly he lost his balance and nearly fell to his knees he held on until he stopped and started coughing madly until blackish-red blood started to come out of all the nostrils.
[I was poisoned] was the first thought that come to his mind after seeing black-red blood.
[how and when was I poisoned]which started a storm of thought processes in the brain
[No..No it's not time to lose my calm stay focused]he said to himself as he looked around the forest
somewhere in the distance he saw light in the rainy night.
"I can reach there in less than a second if I use Astral aura. but if I used it they will find me instantly and come for me without hesitation, I can not fight at my fullest because of the poison I can barely keep myself safe" said as he looked at the infant in his arms
[what if I use that] then he suddenly started to rap the infant in the black cloth and put a silver pendant with a small red gem at the end of it
"Jishnu when you attain the strength needed to activate the pendant it will show you your true destiny."
for the last time he hugs the child with a saddened voice he said "My son your father was an incompetent man that could not keep his promise to his parents or his daughter but at least I wish to fulfill my promise to your mother of keeping you safe" as tears started falling from his face.
he wiped the tear from his face with a determined voice and said
"Let's go"
he started to emit a red aura from his body like solar flares which started to affect the environment around him.
BOOM!!
with a shock wave, he disappeared from his location and reappear before a church he lie down the child on the stairs.
looking at the door he said
"Oo Goddess please look after my child"
With that he started to move this time there was no shock wave.
he moved like an arrow released from the bow toward the south direction.
FAR AWAY HERE.
"He Is Using His Aura"
man in a black cloak said to other men in a black cloaks including him there were 9 men there.
"the poison must have kicked in"
"he should be desperate"
two men said in the group
"Let's move," the man said who looked like the leader of the team of 9 men.
he looked at a golden compass with one red needle pointing to the south
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
....
.....
the 9 different shocks waves all at the same time and all nine men disappeared
AT THE ORPHANAGE
and that is how the hero defeated the demon emperor then they live in peace ever after"
sister Mary smiled when she saw everyone was fast asleep.
she stand up then walks to the door and closed it quietly as everyone as follow asleep
as she walks to her room she hears a crying child
"did the kids wake up again"
she moved to the door to open it again but then stopped because she understood that the crying voice was not coming from the inside but from outside.
she hastily moved to the entrance door
opening it she saw a child rapid in black cloth crying
"oh my god who in the world is this cold-hearted to leave a child in the heavy rain"
she bend down to pick him up and looked at him who crying even louder after she picked him up.
the Baby had Heterochromia eyes right side with red and the left blue iris.
which left even the nun in a daze.
other nuns come out hearing the entrance door opening.
they saw the old nun embracing a child in her arms
when they close up and looked at the child which put them in a daze too.
FAR AWAY FROM THE ORPHANAGE
the man that left the child at the orphanage was moving like an arrow through the forest but suddenly he come to stand still in the middle of the dense forest.
"COME OUT"
with a tint of anger, he spoke
9 men in black cloaks appeared surrounding him from all directions
"you can sense us even in the poison State" one of the men spoke
"I don't need to be in my peek to sense traitress bastard like you"
"Why are you calling us traitors we just wanted what's good for our family"
"fuck you what about our family you just want to take the resources from my family for your use when I found out you tried to kill me and my family remove that hood of yours let me have a look at the traitress bastard that betrayed my family," the man said as he pulled back his hood to see a man with red eye and golden hair with pale skin because of blood loss
hearing it one by one 9 men started to remove their hoods seeing 8 faces of people that betrayed him he was not shocked by this but after seeing the face 9 one he felt like losing his footing
"why Li why did you betray me consider you as my brother why"
"Because I was envy of your luck and talent Jay you had everything you think of from birth whereas need to work hard for everything I have and when I thought I found someone I loved you stole her from me and", Li said as he unsheathes his blade"now its time for me to take everything from you" he pointed the blade
seeing Jay asked
"tell me Li did you poisoned me when income to your house"
"yes"
hearing Jay pull his sword from his scabbard
and point it at it and said
"I the emperor of the immortal Empire hereby sentence you all to death for the crime of betraying the Empire"
He released massive aura flares from his body
Causing two of the 9 to kneel
"a true rank 7 peak being," said the one on their knees with shock.
