"GET HIM" !, a Bold voice came from the darkness while a boy is seen crumbling from the dirt and trying to run from his fate in the hushed night.
"If we don't catch him you know what will happen", grumbled a man
"Not this time"
Fire Summoning: Chimaera!
A fierce dragon which was not considered to be a known creature erupted out of thin air with a ferocious scream while charging at the boy and burning anything in its path.
The boy looked back at his doom and decided to use the only thing that could save him from this torment. Distinctive Type: Mages.....
(A figure appeared behind the boy)
Light Type: Absolute Flash!
The dragon that was coming at an alarming speed disintegrated into sparkles of light and a shockwave was created that blew out the trees to expose the two men.
"What, who is this guy?" screamed the man
"I don't know but he won't live long," said the other.
Both of the guys releases their immense aura and were charging up to unleash an attack seeing their stance sent chills down the spine of the boy as he tightly clenched his hands on the mysterious person's shirt.
Fire type: Mystical Flames!
Wind type: Twistor!
They both released a huge incoming attack on the two of them with their resonation creating a flame tornado
"weak" a faint voice came from the front of the attack.
Light type: Light Speed! 10%
A smooth yet horrific sound was heard as a completely white strip of light disappeared from their eyes only to be returned to meet them dead in the eye the sound of the impact of their attack could be heard in the background while the boy was nowhere to be found.
"Huh? He's ..."
Before he could say anything he was 10 meters in the air with blood gushing from his mouth and the same was the case with the other person, about 5 after images of that mysterious person could be seen at that time symbolizing his intense speed. Before they could come in contact with the ground they were launched deep into the woods until darkness hid their bodies.
(2 minutes of traveling)
" There you are, where I left you so what's your name kid?"
The boy looked at the man with a peculiar look and ended up starting at him rather than responding to him.
"You got some nice eyes" commented the mysterious man. Upon hearing this the boy came out of his bubble.
"Uh Alan, Alan remorse " said the kid
"Ah cool name, my name is Barry, Barry Rover anyway we have to get you to a safe place to negotiate some terms so hop on"
Barry sat down indicating alan to get on his back. He was extremely shaken as he saw an image of a different person completely on barry's face.
"Dude you gotta stop doing that, just focus ok."
Alan hopped on his back with a jump while barry held his legs tight.
Light type: Travel
*********************
As they traveled through the woods flashbacks from Alan's memory kept haunting him until he was disturbed by the immense light coming from a distance as they exited the woods a phenomenal view caught Alan's eyes. In front of him was a strongly fortified, permanently garrisoned stronghold. a large and stately residence, especially one, with high walls and towers, that mimicked the form of a medieval castle. This view made him question where he was going but before he could say anything barry stopped making Alan enter reality again through the impact.
"We're here, welcome to the Ominous Light Residence"
A wave of fear wiped across Alan's face as he couldn't acknowledge the fact of where he was standing.
"Before we move in Tell me do you belong to the shadows?"
Alan was deeply shaken by this question and started to sweat profusely. " I was a slave of them and they treated me horribly, and when they knew I was of no use they were about to kill me and sell my organs for money " cried Alan.
Upon hearing this there was a moment of silence before barry grabbed him and hugged him. It was a warm hug a relatable feeling that Alan had witnessed in the past.
"You're safe here, come with me "
Alan followed him as they entered the majestic building, the building itself was awfully quiet, and the echo of footsteps could be heard. Barry entered a specific carved room and Alan followed along.
"Greetings Master" greeted barry while indicating Alan to sit down.
The master looked back and with a gentle smile greeted them back and gave a questionable look towards Alan.
"This is Alan Remorse, a 14-year-old child I rescued in the woods while escaping the shadows, used to be a slave but ran away when sensed danger."
The master listened silently while walking around the room and finally sitting next to Alan.
He placed his firm hand on his head.
[Future Seeking Has Been Activated.]
Alan became heavily confused as this process was taking too long. After 15 min the master took his hand off and with a gentle smile said, "My child you are pure-hearted and compatible to learn the way of light".
****************
(somewhere in Earl)
Constant footsteps could be heard in the hallway as the medic was carrying two bodies on the stretcher.
"Call the healer and quick !!"
The healer who had a bored look came and inspected the bodies with an annoyed face
[Fire Magic: healing type: Flames of Nirvana]
While they were being healed, the medic understood their cause of appearing and was angered to an extent that the paper started to crumble in his hands
"Show this to the Master" while handing the report to a servant who in a terrified manner took it and went to inform.
(cough) (cough)
The person on the stretcher woke up and without wasting any time the medic held him by his collar and in a grimacing way asked
"Tell me the Name now !!"
"we don't know, he looked like a nobody only thing we could notice was his headband which had the words ' Death ' " replied the man with blood still coughing out.
The servant returned with an even more terrified look and requested the medic to come to meet the master.
Leaving the healing process at once he rushed to his office to meet him.
The Hallway was quite dark a black hole one must say, it had gold trimming on its edges and a smooth texture and design. At the end of the hallway was the office and a menacing aura could be felt.
The medic entered the office and was met with silence and as he was about to utter a word he was immediately stopped by the presence of his master behind him. His expression was off the chart as he immediately got down on his knees to show respect.
"He got away didn't he " came a faint voice
Without looking backward he replied "Unfortunately yes master our men countered barry and were beaten to a great extent"
"Do you know the meaning of shadow?"
After saying the question he himself replied to it which meant that he indicated the medic to stay quiet. " shadows are replicas of you but you know what's the difference between humans and them? The shadows are untouchable, they can not be destroyed unlike
You"
The last sentence shook the medic so that his tears almost start to appear.
" Bring the boy back you have only 1 week make it count "
After saying the aura completely vanished as the medic searched around the room but the master was not to be seen.
