Nineteen years had passed since that day. The world had long returned to normal, yet the mysterious incident from nearly two decades ago remained unsolved — a secret buried beneath faith and silence.
Alaric was now a tall young man with fair skin, sharp features, and deep black eyes. Though his body was naturally extraordinary, he lived like any other ordinary person. This year, he was set to begin university — but lately, he hadn't been feeling well, and was resting quietly in his room.
His room was large, almost like a small living room. Posters from movies, anime, and novels covered the walls. In one corner stood his bed, beside a messy study table cluttered with open books and perfectly stacked novels. Dressed in a lemon-green T-shirt and a comfortable and flexible black pants , Alaric sat by the window, gazing outside with a strange, lingering curiosity. When he Heard his mom calling him for Lunch
He went to the Dinning Hall , the dinning hall was large and the walls were white with one large painting of a mountain was hunged in the hall.
As He sat at the dinning hall which was made up of fine oliver wood without looking at the Food in Front of him
he looked at his Mother who was standing in front of him , her dazzling brown eyes were locked on alaric and her chestnut hair at her back.
"Mom I want to ask something" Alaric spoke meeting his mom's brown dazzling eyes
"What it is Dear "
"Why I am so unnatural ? Like I am not like you , nor dad , nor my elder brother "
"Who says you are unatrual " She was very Used to this because Alaric asked her the same question three times a week with the same explanation
"You also know mom my body is extraordinary like I can run a mile or two without even a slightest exhaustion"
"That's because you athletic and please alaric dear now eat the lunch it's getting colder "
" No I Don't want to eat now I am going to the park"
"First Eat Something Then Go Dear "
" No Mom I don't want to "
"Okay but come back before 6'o Clock "
"Yeah "
Alaric always felt something uneasy or something different but today his feelings were extreme he knew something isn't right inside him but he automatically left the thought when he saw a wonderful View of Lake Inside the park he just sat there without thinking or saying anything.
Meanwhile in the central of the city at a normal looking corporate building albus and seven were sitting at their respective offices they were both now a captain of the elite squad of church of God of Sun & Moon
Albus who was still lookinh exactly like 19 years ago was Sitting In his office comfortably While eating chocolate cookies When he got a Call From the Headquarters
"Hello Albus Remus Wood Here" His Voice was Deep and cold as ever
"Hello Albus We're in Hurry and You and Sevren have Job The Same Job you Did Nineteen Years ago but this time the boy is 18 years old he will turn to 19 in 3 days Go to him , explain him everything Clearly Except The Prophecy Convince him and bring him to the Headquarters.... It's urgent"
" Aye Aye "
" And bring him to headquarters directly"
"Understood"
Albus as soon as the call ended he shouted " Sevren Time to go "
Sevren who was eating a apple in one hand and Trying to wear his coat came and "let's go "
Alaric who was still seating at the bench he felt a sudden sensation and warmness at his back of the neck
He quickly jumped from the bench and looked at his back when his expression turned into absolute fear
There was a 8 Feet Tall Creature With Huge Pale Green Arms ,There were 9 eyes in his face with thousands of black spots and there was no mouth on his face, he was smelling like waste foods or rotten bodies.
Just by looking at that monster alaric felt a inarmous pressure, he tried to scream but no voice came out he tried to run but his legs were jammed he was hopeless
The creature looked at alaric and gave his hand a hard and slight push which released an shcokwave which was particularly blackish-red in colour and directly hit alaric because of which alaric went flying into the lake
Bump !
Alaric fell into lake and he was wounded by attack but not unconscious he looked around and he saw a tooth Floating at the Lake as he saw the Tooth He Heard Whispers of undefined voice " Eat it ! Eat it if you want to Survive, Eat it If you don't want to die here , Eat it if you don't want to die a Painful Death "
Alaric without any thoughts or hesitation as he was being subconsciously foced to swallow it , he picked up the tooth and Swallow it , he felt something different in his body he felt to very strong emotion to give that creature the most painful death but there was no way to get out of the lake , he looked around and saw the shores He tried to go Thier but That Creature once again did the same thing but this time Alaric didn't felt anything.
When he look at the creature he saw two people Beside the creature and one of them raised his one finger in the air and motioned it toward earth , alaric looked at the creature and he saw the same creature was being burned and slowly and gradually end up turning into ashes. It was Sevren.
The other man with silverish-white hair looked at alaric then he snapped his fingers and alaric was standing in front of them he was standing exactly where the creature was.
He looked at them with a very different impression he wanted to say Thank you but instead he said
"who are you ?"
" You should say Thankyou, Anyways We're memeber of church of God of sun & moon "
" Never heard of that "
" Of course you'll not Because all this is secret , we can't just go and shout you know " Sevren spoke Coldly
" Then why are you telling me ? and what was that Creature ? and more importantly what did you to do to him and when you snapped your fingers how did I came here ? "
" Calm Down Little Boy I'll answer Everything
We are Arcanists and so you are and that Creature was a nothing more then a Dead Arcanist Body and what did I do to him i simply killed him and how you came back here from Lake because I used some Conduit Energy Nothing more "
" What ? Arcanist ? , Conduit ? what are you talking about Mister ?"
" We'll Explain Everything to you very very Clearly once you come to Headquarters of The Church of God of Sun & Moon with us "
" And if you kidnapped me ?"
" Do you really thing that Creature was Fake ? "
" Absolutely Not "
" Then ?"
"But still If yo--
" I swore on God Sun & Moon We are not kidnapping You "
" Bu--.....Okay I guess let me ask my mom about that "
" Sorry" as albus said this he looked at vale family house and flicked his hands tightly and then looked back at alaric " Let's go "
" Wait what did you just do .....What the hell did you just do " Alaric panicked he almost felt like his family is dead he ran as he fast as he can as soon as he reached the main gate and knocked heavily
"Who's there ?" Voice was Miss vale came from the house as she opened up the door she looked at alaric
" It's me mom..... I'm Back home " Alaric spoked with a sigh as a once again felt relieved
"Pardon ?" Mrs Vale replied with an confused tone
" I am back home mom " Alaric Repeated
" But who are you Boy?and why are you calling me mom ?"
Alaric paused almost like his heartbeat was stopped he met his eyes with miss vale brown dazzling eyes but He didn't say a word He looked at Albus who was not able to meet his face with Alaric .
"Sorry Miss I guess I got the Wrong House " Alaric said his heart heavy , his eyes with Tears and he ran from the house without hearing anything or looking back one last time at miss vale today he didn't lost his family from the world but he lost his family.
He Looked at Albus and Sevren , both of them were not able to meet his eyes and then he said still his voice trembling " Let's go where you wanted to "
All Three of Them Sat in the car Albus was Driving To The Headquarters Of Church of God of Sun & Moon
