"Let's get this over with," Lex scoffs. "What do you geezers want with us?" "Hey." Harold walked up to Lex. They were currently in the presence of the Elder Constellars. The Dark Consteller looked Lex in the eye. The fencer didn't bat an eye away from the endearing purple-coloured eyes of the man. Tyson looked on without an expression as Kaz was eagerly waiting for Lex to get what he deserved for being disrespectful all the time. "You're in front of the oldies... Show some respect." "Is that a threat?"The atmosphere changed as everybody went silent, until Harold decided to break that silence. "Haha. You've got guts, kid." He pats the shoulders of the thief. "Is it from spending time with Ventdra's kid?" Kaz plopped to the ground in a slapstick manner, not believing what he's seeing. "Harold is one of the most vulgar people I know, and so is that skinny bastard... To think they'd hit it off."Lex smirked. "Finally, someone notices my greatness." Tyson only laughs it off."Wh
"Are we going to do this?" Tyson asks. "Or are you going to sit here all day waiting for you three to come to a decision?" It wasn't like him to be impatient, but the Elders have kept Tyson and everyone else around them waiting for a verdict on what to do with the current circumstances. They've been at it for over an hour, muttering between themselves. Sometimes Tyson could hear some of the things they were saying. "Trust him? I refuse to trust an assassin." Elder Baraya snarls. He was the grumpiest of the elders and liked to carry out all his business head-on and straightforwardly. Shambala reveres him as "The Man Who Does Not Lie." "That too, the son of a don and head of the House of Bronze." He added. "I believe the boy has made it clear about his decision to severe any connection with his family?." Elder Ram said:. If Elder Baraya was straightforward, Elder Ram is careful and precise. He makes decisions after thorough contemplation. He makes sure he considers al
"Let the battle begin!" "How is the demon spawn going to fight somebody at this level without his magic item?" Lex asked Kaz, who was seated besides him. "All of his attacks were created by his shadow abilities." Kaz smirked. They turned their attention towards the fight. "Well," says Tyson as he creates a pair of Anima blades. They resembled his shadow daggers. "Aren't you going to come at me?" Lex gasped. "He can use Anima manipulation to that level?" Lex had always thought that Tyson merely infuses his anima into his attacks to make them stronger, and thus his anima manipulation skills were low. Now, Tyson just so happens to create a pair of Anima daggers similar to his shadows. "Don't tell me you thought that Tyson's strength came from his shadow." Kaz asked. "Tyson only got that magic item a little over a year ago, before the time that we first met. It was also when he cut ties with his family." "So that was why his brothers chased him around? They were
The location was the ark of the Nightshade clan, the Mini-Cruiser. Ernie was currently humming as he worked on the engine of the ark. "There." He dusts his hands. "With the new narly tweaks I placed, you peeps don't have to worry about this beauty breaking anytime soon." He gave Farrow a thumbs-up. "That's great, Bro. Ernie!" "And with that, I'm done fixing the ark; it's good to go, and so are we!" "About that... where do I go from here?" It has been two days since Tyson and Lex accompanied Kaz to see the elders. Vladimir had awakened a day ago, and the ark's repairs were completed. Ernie had finished the repairs ahead of time and even went the extra step to add a couple of upgrades. For starters, the Mini-Cruiser lacked any cannons for battles against other Arks. Although these battles rarely occur on the Western Continent, Ernie warned the crew that the Eastern Continent is a place more brutal than where they came from. "That's where you met Sirs Kaz and Tyson.
"Seth." Inside a white room of infinite space, Tyson was standing in front of a cloaked figure. "Where am I? Who are you!?" The figure in front of him had the shape of a woman; her long black hair could not be kept hidden in the cloak. "I'm disappointed," said the cloaked woman. "You don't recognise my voice anymore." Tyson's eyes widened as he gasped. "It can't be..." The woman removed her cloak to reveal pale and smooth skin and a pair of dark blue eyes. In short, she was extremely beautiful, and any man would lose their mind gazing at her beauty. However, Tyson didn't gaze at the woman with the lust that most men would. His eyes became teary in an instant as he ran to the woman and embraced her. "Mother..." The woman smiled as she petted her son's head. "How are your brothers doing?" Tyson had dug his head into the woman's chest. "Is this just a dream, or are you real?" "It's both, beloved. I've been trying to reach you all this time." "Mum, i
"Alright, kid, show me what you got." "Kill Switch!" Harold effortlessly blew the Anima attack away with his dark Anima hands. Tyson gritted his teeth. "Nothing's happening." His frustration was evident to his friends. They were currently at the arena where Tyson had fought Elder Baraya earlier. Tyson was receiving training from Harold on how to harness his elemental anima. "As much as I hate to admit it," said Lex, who was sitting in the middle of Kaz and Jacob. "Seeing how the demon spawn is struggling to unlock his element makes me respect the historian and that shorty for unlocking theirs a bit." "Wow," said Kaz. "Who knew you could make compliments?" "I know, right?" Lex asks. "I feel like throwing up." Tyson had been following Harold's guide to unlocking his element. "Close your eyes, and try to sense all the shadows around you." Some people unlock their elements easily, and at a young age, others have to go through various trainings to reach that level.
"And that, my friends, was how Tyson and I met." Ernie finished his narration for his clanmates. They were currently taking a stroll on the streets of Border Town. "Wow," said Farrow. "Sir Tyson learned a lot from you and Sir Kaz. "Yep, Kaz always saw the good in him. Being an assassin may have been his birthright, but it wasn't his calling." "You inspired the captain to go on an adventure!" Vladimir exclaims. "Vladimir, are you crying?" Maggie asks. "What? No!" The former district commander refuted. I was just thinking of all the training I have to do; there were so many that I started sweating before I even got the chance to train. "Right." She rolls her eyes. "Anyway, shouldn't we get back to the Ark?" She asks. "In case of Tyson calls, we left all our phones there, you know." Ernie places his arm around the historian's neck. "Relax, Master. I can call you Magster, right?" "I uh.." "Great! You don't have to worry about Tyson, Kaz, or what his name is. Th
"Huh?" Tyson blinked his eyes. "Where am I?" He found himself in a white, empty room with no walls. "Am I on the astral plane again?" "Hey, lad!" He heard a voice ringing in his head. "Jacob? What's going on!?" "Calm down, lad; you're in your subconscious." Tyson's head felt foggy as he began to piece out what he remembered last. Jacob points his sniper at Tyson as Harold's purple Anima hands emerge from his back. "I need you three to die." A vein popped on his head. "You two attacked us!" He cursed. He recalled being shot by Jacob and Harold, who took out Lex and Kaz. "Sorry, lad, it was so we could proceed with unlocking' your second ayer... It's buried deep within your subconscious." "Yeah, quit whining already!" Harold's voice echoed in his head this time around. "We made sure not to hurt your kids too badly." "That's reassuring..." Tyson said it in a sarcastic tone. "Plus, how are we able to communicate?" "It's thanks to Kisha." "Kisha?" "
