Chapter 2:Etheral Acolyte

The Punishment was a 5 whips and a day in the local cell.

The guards wanted to rough him up,but they heard that a Ethreal Acolyte was coming.

And a Spirit opening Acolyte,'to be precise this type of acolyte was called a God to those illiterate bastards who call themselves commoners'Or thats what all the guards thought.

So After a day they planned to release him,until they heard that his highness the Etheral Acolyte was coming to the prison to look for some talented people who could become Acolyte.

******************

5 Hours Later

"Welcome your highness,Although the Prisoners here would be free to go after one day but I'm sure It would have been their honor to serve a great Ethreal Acolyte as yourself."A guard from outside of the prison exclaimed in respect and obvious bootlicking.

"Hmmm,Not bad"The Etheral Acolyte said while obviously reeling in the glory of the Guard's Bootlicking.

*******************

Then the Ethreal Acolyte and the guard ventured through the prison,although the Acolyte said he was looking for talent,Almost all the guards knew he was here to collect some slaves,either for sex or just plain human trafficking--But who are they to judge.

After the Etheral Acolyte passed the 21st cell he saw a Boy tied up with his mouth gagged and his body dirty from all the blood and dirt.

'Not bad,this boy should be at least worth a hundred silver coins'.His expression showing greed,albeit only for a split moment.

That boy was naturally Kade,though he was unconscious from the beating,but he had learnt to be watchful of his surroundings even when asleep,through his experiences .

The Acolyte proceeded to move on to the other cells,where he found two girls and another boy.

"Guard,round them up I'm taking them to become my servants"The Acolyte said with glee.

***************

"Ethreal Acolyte is so kind,if I could I would have allowed my daughter to follow you--too bad she is getting married".The guard said while using bootlicking

"Don't worry,Guard if your daughter gives birth to a talented child,I will come to take the child to the Sect".

As the guards rounded the children,the guard that was assigned for Kade was coincidentally the one who whipped Kade.

And Kade who had woken up since,knew the Etheral Acolyte wanted to kidnap him,so as the guard opened the cell and removed his mouth gag,he removed the chains that were restricting his hands.

**BAM**, He attacked the guard causing the guard to fall down,then he bolted out of the cell door,past the other guards who were still shocked about the whole Ordeal.

He ran past the last guards,and when he thought he was free the Ethreal Acolyte recovered from the shock and.

**BAM**, The Acolyte fists smashed into his face,causing Kade to fall down and his eyes to tear up.

'Shit,is this how I'm going to be sold off,I don't want to be a slave,fuck,fuck fuck.' Kade thought in his mind as he slowly lost consciousness.

"You guys can't even handle a small child,huh he just ran past you huh some guards you are"

"I can't even recommend you to the City Lord,because you are all Pieces of Fucking Trash".

"..."

"....."

"..." The guards couldn't even find the words to talk.

"Its fine,Samuel it's fine at least you got the child back"The Ethreal Acolyte now known as Samuel muttered to himself.

"Ok now,guards I need to dispose of you all so nobody would my my secret,so say hello to Yama for me"

**Gurney Of the Flaming Valley**

Flames arose around the Acolyte as those same flames seemed to burn everything around them.

"Help!!!!!!!"

"Helppppp!!!!!"

"It burns,please Acolyte help me please,please,ple....."The voice of the guard who bootlicked the Acolyte shouted until it grew weaker and weaker.

"Now that I'm true with that how about I go earn some mo...where's the boy"Samuel,the Ethreal Acolyte shouted in hysteria.

The boy had gone and what was left was bloody trails.

Although Samuel wanted to go after him,but after he weighed the pros and cons,he decided to leave the boy.

*****************

The sound of chains dragging the floor,mixed with the sound of blood dripping,was what accompanied Kade as he ran--No as he dragged himself home

On the way home,he saw a old man who looked very strange,he had this sickly look yet he looked like he could climb a mountain.

"Kade,It seems that you are back from the prison".

"Yea"Kade answered Absent-minded.

"Do you wanna be strong,after all I want to die and I need to ensure that somebody brings a storm to this world for me to rest In Peace"The Old Man said,while trying to make a straight face.

"Huh"Kade asked

"Sorry I've always wanted to make this serious face and say do you wanna be strong".The Old man said trying to restrain the happiness

"Ok,Old Man,Yes I wanna be strong".Kai answered while trying not to laugh.

"Ok,close you're eyes"

Kade closed it

**BAM** The Old Man knocked Kade Out
