(Night)
...
"How dare you!"
"You Tricked me!"
"All because of a Fucking Brat!!"
*SMACK!!!*
..
.
.
'....'
'....there he goes again..'
'abusing my mother.....'
"Why?"
"WHY!?" Came a Fierce noise of a Grown Man
"Please...." came a Grief-struck voice of a woman
..
..
*sniff**sniff*
..
.
.
'That's it.'
'He is dead!'
A little boy, not even a decade old, has decided to take a drastic step.
..
..
He is about to murder his 'Father'.
Or more like, his step father.
.
.
(Flash back)
His mother, Clara was a widowed woman with features that allured men. She had a beautiful and Youthful face.
She looked like in her mid twenties. She had Rudra at the age of 16. While her husband was 25.
He was a soldier. A soldier of low ranking. Thus, even after his death in -The Great War of Mankind- his family was not given any sort of compensation except some silver and brown Chronas.
When Rudra turned Five, His mother married a Friend of her Husband. He had offered her a stable flow of money to meet the needs of Rudra, While as a compensation, she had to help him bear his children.
Clara accepted this offer with only Rudra in her mind. The man was overjoyed.
.
.
When Rudra turned Six, The man, his step father, was growing impatient. They -Clara and Him- have been Trying to have a child for a whole year but still, till now there has been no progress.
It has also been a year since when Clara has been showing signs of illness. She has lost a lot of weight. Her shin has become paler. She has been bleeding or getting bruised naturally, but the Man has other thoughts.
"Why in the name of the lord have you been self harming yourself!!
Do you want the people to think that I am a bad husband? Why?"
"No! No Tony! This all has been happening naturally, I am not Self harming myself! I also have no reason to degrade your reputation...." Clara mumbled the last part.
But,
This was interpreted in the wrong way,
"What..?" He asked in a low and cold voice.
"You think my reputation is already bad enough that this doesn't affect me any further..?"
Clara Paled immediately.
"That was not I mea-" But she got cut off mid sentence.
"That is it. You are not keeping your promise, thus, I shall not keep mine aswell. From here on after, not a single Chrona shall be spent on Rudra..!" Tony said, and exited the home to relieve his stress in the pub.
...
*sniff
...
"What happened Mother?" Came the voice of a small boy, who was peeping from his room, with his door slightly open.
"Nothing, Dear. Go to sleep..." Clara replied by showing a weak smile that barely managed to suppress her grief.
"Where is Father?" Asked Rudra innocently, not noticing his Mother's Grief, or perhaps he did.
"He...." She trailed off a bit "He has gone to meet his friends.." Replied Clara who neither showed grief nor happiness. But something in the Borderline of those feelings.
She then smiled,
"Everything will be fine tomorrow Sweetie" She said in a reassuring tone
"Come, let's put you to sleep. Which story would you like to hear?" asked Clara While walking towards Rudra's room.
She opened the door and lead Rudra to his bed, while walking,
Rudra answered excitedly,
"The Story of The Queen of Fairies and The WarGod!"
"Hahahaha....you sure love that story, huh?" Clara laughed out loud
"Yes! I love how The WarGod who has slain Hundreds of thousands fell in love with the Queen of Fairies, Who is the purest Fairy, that can even feel love for someone as Violent as The WarGod!" Answered Rudra cheerfully.
"Okay then, The story follows a person, who has battled so much that both Enemies and fellow comrades have named him 'The WarGod'...."
Started Clara, while thinking,
'I wish that Rudra can keep smiling like this forever.....I know that things will be fine tomorrow, Tony will take back what he said...'
But, little did she know, this was the start of it all.
This was the beginning of the two year long abuse borne by Clara and indirectly by Rudra.
.
.
(Present)
Rudra was lying on his bed, he who is Eight years old, has been forced to mature beyond his age. He had been hearing the screams of agony of his mother who has caught a Fierce illness which has been eating her alive.
Tony, is currently taking out his anger on Clara.
Earlier this day, Tony had Beaten up Rudra very badly. But, unkown to Tony, Unknown to everyone, Known only to Rudra and his mother, That Rudra possess extraordinary Self regenerating powers.
Clara had realised this after she saw Rudra heal after getting abused by Tony When Rudra was Six years old.
And right now, Rudra who had been Beaten up so close to Death sat up straight on his bed.
'I can't hear this any longer'
'I will kill the Asshole!!'
Rudra got up with these thoughts. He Slowly opened his door and took a peak outside his room.
Tony was standing with a whip in his left hand. He was not using it to whip Clara, he was whipping the table, the items on it, the wall where Clara was leaning against while sitting on the floor cowering and whimpering.
This was enough to anger the Black haired boy, his blood red eyes slit. He looked towards the kitchen, His eyes drifting towards a knife with six inch long blade.
He silently went into the kitchen adjacent To the Dinning hall, where Tony was abusing Clara.
He picked up the knife and advanced towards Tony by running and
"AAAHHH!!!!!" he screamed With tears of anger blurring his vision
Tony quickly turned but-
-Just as he turned he felt something stab his stomach-
"..UGG!!" he grunted.
He painfully looked down to see Rudra taking out the knife which had stabbed and proceeding to stab him again.
"UUAHHHHHH!!!!!" Rudra shouted again
But in the nick of time, He blocked the blow with his Right palm-
-The pain of the knife piercing his Right hand shot up.
"UGHHH!!!!! YOU..YOUU!!!!" He screamed in pain, he took the knife pierced through his right hand into his left hand which had already dropped the whip
"DIE!!!" The grown man screamed as he struck at the child,
"NO!!" Clara screamed as she got in between them
She took the hit which was meant for Rudra.
"MOVE OUTTA MY WAY BITCH!!!"
Tony took out the knife with which he had stabbed through Clara while shoving her away violently-
-He struck it again towards Rudra. Right towards his face
"!!!"He ducked a bit towards his right,
The knife -missing his head- pierced his left shoulder leaving a three inch deep wound
"G....GAAHHHHHHH!!!!" Rudra Screeched in pain.
"Why the fuck are you so tough!?"
"This much force should have been enough for the knife to fully pierce your shoulder!!
Doesn't matter! You are so Dead!!"
.
He was about to struck again only to stop as he noticed a sudden burst of strength in Rudra, and he saw smoke coming out of his wound and the blood flowing out slowing down.
'!!!!!!'
'....A Primal!?'
'No fucking way. He is a Primal!?'
"Second thought Brat! You are safe, for now...." The last part came out with a low menacing growl
'If he is a Primal, He'd sell for a lot..'
while thinking this he approached Rudra and knocked him out.
After all, Rudra was still a kid and he could not fight back against someone who is powerful than most adults. As Tony was also a soldier, low ranking one that survived unlike Rudra's Father
'....Clara is dead..'
'No matter, It is still night, I'll say she was killed by some bandits and they kidnapped the kid' thought Tony, formulating a plan.
He brought out a 5 foot big sack from his basement, and put Rudra in it..
'Now, I'll sell him off for an auction in the underground slave trading operations in the Gigg's Pub.'
He carefully opened the main gate and surveyed his surroundings for any sign of people,
after seeing no one, he carefully took the sack containing the 26 kg Rudra and made his way to the pub.
....
....
(Gigg's Pub)
"Hey, Kov!" Tony called a man of his same height but a little bit more stout.
"Hey, Tonnie! Back already?" asked Kov flashing a gold tooth through his smile.
"I have a deal" said Tony ignoring his question.
"An interesting and money making deal" He said this part leaning a lot closer to Kov.
"Hm?" Kov let out a sound of amusement.
"What Is It?" he asked
"I want to talk.....privately." Tony said looking at his surrounding and gesturing towards the sack with his eyes.
"....follow me" answered Kov after a moment of silence.
He showed him the way towards a private room.
.
.
"mmh..hmmm..mhhm" *moan*
.
.
"Gosh! Move Give us some space! This private room is for Business deals not for that Business !"
"Kya!" shouted a half naked woman
While the man grumbled in annoyance and went away with the woman wrapped around his arms.
"Shoo shoo!" Grumbled Kov.
He turned towards Tony and said
"Sorry Tonnie, That's my younger brother Tov, He likes to fuck girls here"
"Can we get down to business already?" Tony ignored whatever had happened here and asked Kov in impatience.
"Bhahaha!! Ok!Ok!!"
Kov laughed as he sat down and gestured Tony to sit too.
"So....."The laughter died down and he asked in a serious tone gesturing towards the Sack
"What is in it?"
Tony ruffled the sack open and showed a boy of Eight years old in it.
"this" he answered
"....He looks scrawny.... I thought you said you had a deal that'd make money....I mean...he is young so he'll sell,...hm.....he is cute to....so some old ladies might like him..., Okay Tonnie, tell me, how much do you expect him to sell for?"
"10,000 Gold Chronas" Tony answered very confidently.
"What!? Have you gone crazy!? He'd sell for 500 Gold Chronas at most!
Why the fuck do you think he'd sell for 10,000 Golds!?"
Kov was shocked. Normally, Kids Rudra's age are sold for 300 Gold Chronas, That much is enough to buy a normal house made of bricks with Chimneys. But, Kov Thought 500 Gold because Rudra had inherited Clara's genes in the sense of Looks. So, He was very well above average in terms of looks.
"Hehe...hahahahahahaha!!! That's of course if he is a normal brat!! But this..this Brat is a Fucking PRIMAL!!!!" Tony was delighted that after this auction, he'd never have to work, he can have as many women he wants, he can have anything. This delighted him greatly.
"WHAT!???"Now, it was Kov's turn to be surprised.
'What the hell!? This Kid's a Primal? A Primal !??? Now this changes everything!! Every fucking Thing!! Primals are Humans With extraordinary powers. They possess An ability which a normal human cannot posses!! Be it changing a part of their body into a weapon, abilty to spit Fire, ability to Shapeshift, and a lot more abilities!! They are high in demand with the current state of us Humans!! As we the humans are at war with The monster kingdom ruled by the Monster God Azzogath!! The monster capable of Destroying a big city with a flick of his fingers!! In these desperate times the pillars of Mankind, The Primals have been fighting in the frontlines for a century! This brat is sure to be sold for at least 20,000 Gold Chronas If he possess a great ability...even if that's not the case he should sell for more than 10,000 Gold Chronas....!'
*sighhhh
Kov released a breath that he forgot to release due to his excitment.
"Are you sure?" He asked seriously.
"Absolutely sure. This kid has some sorta resistance when attacked, like I stabbed him full force with a six inched blade but it went till three inches. If it were someone else that hasn't survived or participated as a soldier during The War then it would have made sense. But it is me we are talking about!" Answered Tony
'He sure has a lot of trust in his abilities' Thought Kov not impressed at all.
"Is that it? If that's it then I'm sorry to say this, but, you are wasting both of our times" His voice sounded neutral.
"Of course not! This Brat also healed that gaping wound at a super human speed!" Came the quick reply from Tony,
He dragged Rudra's body out of the sack and pointed towards his left shoulder
"Look! There is a hole in that part of his shirt but not a single scar on his skin! He has not only closed the wound but also got rid of the scar!" Came the fascinated voice of Tony.
"Hm...sure, the hole is there but it can be a trick from you too, prove it" Kov still not giving up his neutral tone
"Humph!" Came a cold grunt from Tony as he quickly took out a pocket knife and slit his Right palm-
-"uggg!" came the sound of Rudra's unconscious protest,
though he still didn't wake up as he had been drugged with a heavy dose of sleeping pill which, if he were an ordinary child he would've died. but he is a primal so he's fine.
Kov watched intently as the wound on Rudra's palm quickly closed in about 20 seconds and the scar disappeared within 30 seconds after the wound closed. Completely healing a wound which would have left a scar for weeks healed under a minute. Even the trail of blood wasn't visible as if the blood got absorbed back by the body.
"This....tis' So magical!!"
Even with 40 years of experience in this world this was Kov's second time encountering a Primal.
'This is nothing compared to that bitch, she could turn parts of her body into steel! But even so, This is a powerful ability! He'd sell for 15 atleast!'
Little did he know, Rudra has a lot of potential and room to grow, but that is for an another time.
"Tonnie my friend!! He'd sell for a lot"
"Chehehehe, Thank you my friend Kov!!" Tony replied as they shared a brief hug.
"That reminds me, why did you attack this child in the first place?" Asked Kov curiously, but only out of curiosity, nothing more than that as he had seen much worse.
"Eh, this brat attacked me but I noticed his ability in the nick of time or he wouldn't have lived. tch" Answered Tony arrogantly.
'Hm, a fool he is. If, Only if as it is almost impossible, but If by chance this brat escapes from his owner, Then he'd surely come back for revenge. Eh better not tell that to this fool as he might back off and kill the kid
I'd better not show my face to the brat as he might come after me if he knows that I am the trader...'
Thought Kov cautiously, already making solutions for the worst case scenarios.
"So a deal it is?" Asked Kov
"Deal!" Came the answer with a hint of smugness.
.
.
After the deal, Tony returned casually and as he reached his house he shouted in alarm. Informing his neighbours of the tragedy that had happened.
"Damn burglars! Killing my precious wife and Kidnapping my dear son with some of my fortunes!!! I swear If I find you I'll kill you!!"
He declared convincing the local Law enforcers force and gaining his neighbours' sympathy after shedding a few crocodile tears.
Thus comes an end of a tiring night which would change Rudra's world completely.
