Grandpa Enzo led the way out of the room, but before they left, Shian took a good look at the room, it was wide with white walls on each side and nothing in it except the portal in which they came through.
"Why did we come through this portal, I thought we were supposed to come out through a portal in a military base?" Shian asked."The portal we used to head to that beast planet belongs to the military, but the one we just used to come back here is connected to this one we just came through." Grandpa Enzo explained while pointing to the red shimmering portal behind them."So if you want to go back to the beast planet, you have to use the portal that belongs to the government, right?" Shian asked."Hmm...not really. You see..." Grandpa Enzo was about to say something but changed his mind. "Nevermind, you're correct."They left the room and he led Shian down the long corridor, the walls where bare with nothing except the windows.'I thought they were rich, aren't rich families supposed to have something like a red carpet in their hallway or at least something like that.' Shian thought.They arrived at a flight of stairs that led upwards, it was then that Shian realized that they were actually underground the whole time, he thought the scene he saw through the windows were real, the breeze, the warmth of the sun, everything felt real to him. As they reached the last stair, Grandpa Enzo pushed the door in front of them open and a beautiful scene welcomed Shian.They were once again inside a room, this room though was different, it was well decorated. The first thing Shian saw was something that was called a Chandelier, he had never seen one physically except in pictures that he saw sometimes in books or on billboards when he followed his father to get groceries.There was a bed with several kinds of pillows resting on it and a blanket with their family crest on it, the bed was so wide, Shian wondered if this room belonged to only one person and as if he could read minds, Grandpa Enzo confirmed his thoughts."This is my room. And please, Do not touch anything."That wasn't all though, there was a black rug with red edges that covered the center of the room and it also had their family logo on it in its center, there was a desk filled with papers and a chair close to it, a sofa was excatly across the bed and it looked to be very soft, to put it simply, the room was decorated in grand style.Shian was snapped out of his stunned state by Grandpa Enzo who was walking out of the room without looking back. Shian ran after him and they both exited the room.Shian once again found himself in a hallway, there was a red carpet that was as long as Shian could see, it probably went round the whole mansion, though he couldn't tell, there were paintings of past ancestors and powerful people on the walls, some of them Shian knew, some, he didn't.There were vases filled with flowers at intervals beside each painting, each flower released a pleasant smell and made the surroundings in a way... filled with energy. It was a sensation that Shian couldn't understand, though Grandpa Enzo filled him in with a satisfiable answer."This plants here are called Cannabis Sativa." Grandpa Enzo started while pointing at the plant next to a painting."Previously they were used as stimulants by drug addicts, but now that their Species has tapped into the blessing, they have become too powerful to be used as stimulants because their smell alone is enough to kill a full grown adult in seconds, not to talk of tasting it, but thanks to the barrier surrounding it." Grandpa Enzo moved his finger close to the plant and a ripple was seen in the space surrounding it pushing his finger back. "The power of the smell has been reduced considerately."__________They continued their walk down the hallway as Grandpa Enzo described almost all the people in the paintings."And finally this young man here is one of our familiy's most honoured ancestors. Ryker Blackwill." Grandpa Enzo looked at the painting and smiled. "He led our family out of slavery and also gave us the name, Blackwill.""Really?" Shian uttered in surprise."Yeah, as you know, a slave does not have a name nor can they be given one except by their master. But this man here, he fought his way out of slavery using everything he had at his disposal, he killed both innocent and guilty people just to be free. hmph, pity.Legends have it that it is the reason for that name, his will to survive was so immense, he was willing to do anything for it.""Hmm... Blackwill, that's a name that suits that kind of person, I guess." Shian muttered.Grandpa Enzo walked away unknowingly leaving Shian behind. Shian lingered for while looking at the painting. A young man around Shian's age with blonde hair, sharp black eyes, and a half metal mask that covered his mouth and a little of his pointed nose could be seen in the painting. The young man was in a black dirty attire that covered his whole body which made it look like he was in a desert like area. Shian studied the painting for a while before walking away, but at this point, Grandpa Enzo was already long gone.Shian immediately ran down the hallway hoping to catch up with Grandpa Enzo wherever he may have gone to.He didn't know how far he had run but he eventually got to a double door at the end of the hallway, he pushed open the door and stepped outside. An alluring background welcomed him, but the main thing that attracted his attention was the visage of a boy his age practicing a type of martial art, his technique and style made Shian enter battle mode, he was suddenly itching for a battle with the boy practicing in his front.The boy who was practicing was wearing a conical hat, it couldn't even be called that as it was almost flat, it blocked his face and prevented Shian from seeing his face.Without warning the boy looked in his direction and charged at him, Shian was finally able to see his face, he had a pointed nose, blonde hair that was packed in a ponytail and stark white eyes that looked creepy, the boy......was blind.Shian was startled at first but immediately recovered and also charged at him.They both met each other at the center, the boy spun and delivered a swift kick to Shian's side, Shian jumped completely evading the kick and delivered an axe kick directly on top of the conical hat. The moment his legs touched the hat, he felt a tremendous surge of pain ravage his head. He landed gracelessly and staggered back, the boy in the conical hat wasn't any better, he was in a dazed state as Shian's kick, although looking simple, packed power. They recovered almost at the same time, but as they were about to exchange blows again a voice boomed out throwing them off their feet."What do you think you two are doing."Shian and the blind boy in the conical hat fell on their butts with a thud, the sound waves from the shout was that powerful. Luckily their ear drums didn't burst.Grandpa Enzo could be seen standing in front of the open double doors, he walked down the stairs and stood between Shian and the blind boy."Why where the two of you fighting?!!" Grandpa Enzo said with a vein bulging at the side of his head at the lack of a reply from any of them, he was getting really angry that they where just staring at seemingly nothing in particular without even making an attempt to answer him. This was the first time Shian saw this part of Grandpa Enzo, he always appeared to be a gentle old man, but when he snapped, all the image of a gentle man was replaced with the aura of a predator ready to pounce on its prey, Shian was terrified to the point where he answered automatically without thinking of what he was about to say."I don't know." Shian said.This reply seemed to only make Grandpa Enzo more an
Ryan almost vomited blood from the amount of anger he was feeling at that moment. Grandpa Enzo laughed loudly from the side, to him the two youths where putting up quite a show and he was enjoying every bit of it. He had noticed their hostility towards each other before they entered the dining hall but just ignored it.Ryan without warning lunged at Shian and kicked him in his chest, flinging him out of his seat and scattering all the food on the table. Grandpa Enzo barely had enough time to react and all he could do was hold Ryan's leg before he could deal another kick to the already down Shian.Everything happened within a split second.Shian slid back for some meters before finally coming to a stop. He clutched his chest with his face down, he breathed in and out heavily.As he received the kick from Ryan, a memory surfaced in his mind. He remembered something his father told him before he died, his father told him how he ran to Eric Solar for help when he was kidnapped, but was pu
Shian walked down the stage and stood still waiting for Grandpa Enzo.Grandpa Enzo picked up the unconscious body of Ryan and left the room, Shian followed closely behind.They made their way down the long hallway filled with several doors leading to different rooms, Grandpa Enzo entered a room and placed Ryan on a bed, he tapped his wrist where there was a black watch and spoke some words.Some minutes later, Shian heard a noise that sounded like a drill at work, he turned to look in the direction he heard the sound and was surprised when a gust of wind hit him, almost throwing him back. "A speed ability." Shian muttered to himself.He followed the direction of the wind and saw a young man and woman in the room, they both had blue clothing that had the Blackwill's crest on the left side of their chest, the man was carrying the lady in his arms, he carefully placed her down and the lady got to work, she went over to Ryan and knelt down by his side, she stretched her hands over him and
It was a bright and sunny day, and Shian was feeling energetic, he jumped out of bed and cleaned himself up, he put on some clothes and tied his hair back, some weren't long enough to reach the head band and dropped down the sides of his face. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and smiled, his glittering sapphire blue eyes, his smooth skin and his tall muscular frame and long white hair made him handsome, he wore a blue shirt and a black pair of trousers, everything coupled together, he looked like an award winning model."Damn I'm handsome." He said out loud."You wish." A reply came from his side.Ryan was standing by the door, he had been watching Shian gawking at himself for a while and only spoke when Shian commented on his handsomeness."WHAT THE!!!, You're supposed to knock before entering, what if I was...""Dude, I can't see, remember?" Ryan cut Shian short."I know that, but still, have some manners." Shian said with a dignified expression on his face.Ryan la
The large and massive gate stood before them in all it's full glory.Shian and Ryan gawked at it speechless, the large circle gate was one of the highest thing they had ever seen in their entire lives."So much energy." Ryan mumbled.Shian who was a lover of weapons, studied the intricate design of each weapon. 'The seven weapons represented the seven sins. A sword, a spear, a...'"I wonder what will happen if that thing falls."Shian's thoughts were interrupted by Grandpa Enzo's words.A vein was seen popping up on Shian's head as his eyes twitched. 'Bastard!! What do you think will happen if that hulking behemoth falls, it'll cause a large earthquake and the earth will probably shift from its orbit. I just wonder how you think sometimes YOU ANNOYING OLD MAN!!!.' Shian cursed in his mind but didn't dare say his thoughts out loud for fear of what Grandpa Enzo might do to him. Shian calmed himself down and jumped down the vehicle, Ryan followed suit and the trio began to walk to the g
'Did...did they just kill two students!!?' Shian was beyond shocked. 'What kind of test is this where they just go killing students like they're slaughter pigs!!?'"I.. i.. i want to go....home." A girl's voice was heard.Sweat was rolling down the students faces, every bit of courage they had summoned to walk to the platform ahead of them was crushed brutally as they watched two students being killed right before their eyes, not even their remains was left. A loud booming voice was heard once again."No one is allowed to leave until the test is over, if no one moves, he or she will be tortured before being brutally killed."Immediately after those word were said, the student who wished to go home fainted on the spot, while another female student peed her pants."We need to start moving!!." Shian immediately said to Ryan and reached out to pull his hands."Relax dude." Ryan started and earned a frown from shian. Ryan immediately pulled him closer and whispered some words into his ears
In a large hall, filled with students desperately dodging several golden balls of energy being shot at them at high speed and a mob of angry parents questioning and cursing the higher ups overseeing the test, there where five people in a dark secluded room, discussing a serious matter. The Five Pillars of Earth which included, Reiss Solar, Natasha Emprie, Cyndy Glace, Nicholas Viper and Lucy Emona were chatting about the performance of the students in the hall when Lucy —the head of the Emona Family— said something that shocked them.According to what they understood about the Emona family, they awakened abilities related to transforming into beasts, and when a person awakens the ability, depending on the strength of the beast type, they will know how fast they can improve their skills and evolve to the next stage.Just like beasts, they evolved, in that case, the stage of the beast determined how strong they where and seeing that Lucy had evolved to the Lord tier, they were surprised
"They really are not dead" Ryan smiled proudly with a look of 'I told you so' on his face. "Those who just appeared, Please proceed to pick up the Yellow wristwatches on the table." The loud voice said. Just like before, the exact number of watches appeared on the wooden table. Another set of students appeared but the red wristwatch wearers were not as surprised as before, the same couldn't be said for the Yellow wristwatch wearers. A student who was not expecting what happened, panicked and punched a student who appeared squarely on the nose, the punch immediately drew blood and tears to the students eyes. "What was that for?!!" The students said amidst tears. His bloody nose began to slowly clot and seize spilling blood. "Those who just appeared, Please proceed to pick up the Blue wristwatches on the table." All the students who participated in the mini event had all made it to the stage one way or another. All the students stood there waiting for what was going to happen n
