"I was hoping you'd remember me, young man." Theodore said with a genuine smile on his face.Kane examined the old man's features. The old man's rounded face and deep eyes. He remembers his face, as there's a tingling sensation on his chest right after he sees the man. Kane knew the man had no ill-intention... but something about the old man made him feel sheer discomfort.Only when the boy noticed burnt marks on the man's hand --- an important memory flashed back from almost eleven years ago --- did his memory of the man completely resurface.The young man remembered the fire. Six days. Six whole days and bursts of flames still combusted from different parts of his body. Day in and day out, he can feel extreme and unexplainable pain in his whole being. Fear consumed him, and he felt truly alone and scared and angry with the man wearing a blue tuxedo. He's angry with the world, but mostly he is angry with himself.His father ran to him on the first day of the fire, panicked and only
Sorcerers who were experts with creation and weaponry all gathered in the Forest of the Zodiacs. The forest was huge, bigger than the Amazon jungle but it was a gem hidden from the maps of the Earth and cannot be traced by any of the satellites. For it was too sacred to be known by man.The natural riches of the land was enough to feed a whole country of different harvest. But, the fruit the trees bear cannot be consumed by humans. As the soil the trees grow from is mixed with the remains of the Celestial beings. The soil itself is a treasure. It shines gold from a distance. The Golden dust that reminds the Supremes of the beauty of the Celestials.The tree that grows has markings on its bark unlike the regular trees.It happened once, a Supreme became too hungry and was too lazy to get food from their satchel. He grabbed a fruit from the tree that glows golden at night, and when he took a bite and swallowed --- he glowed and his body exploded.From then on, the fruits from the trees
The Sorcerers could only stand and fight to not let any more creatures outside of their area of protection. They stood still on the borders and chanted and prayed for the last Celestial to give them strength to fight.In the small island of Mindoro, the Sorcerers have no other choice but to wait and remain strong. Until the much needed help they wish for arrives. Half of the citizens escaped while the other half perished.The defense team summoned a new type of barrier. One that glows in gold and white. Though the barrier is still on its experimental stage, it was stronger than the previous one. They remain strong as the creature bangs and pushes against the thick barrier. They stand strong and try to resist as the vile beast pushes through. It's troubling how much the creatures have grown, an obvious sign of how many people they've slaughtered and ate.It was only a single six foot monster before, now not only did it multiply in numbers but also its size and is much stronger."Concen
Ten Sorcerers circled around Kane as he prepared to fly. They were three meters away from the boy, and he quietly stands in the middle while Landon helps him prepare.“Are you comfortable?” Landon asked as he checked the armor that the young man was wearing.A lot of them were staring as the young man put on the leather like armor that Tahani specially made for him. Landon nervously zips up the latex-rubber like material, and he gulped hard when the young man was ready to go.“It is fine, Landon.” Kane answered with a smile. “Tahani did a great job.”Tapping his feet against the floor, Kane checked if the boots were comfortable and he was completely static when it's perfectly fitted. "It's perfect, Tahani." He smiled brightly at her, earning a much contemptuous smile from the woman.Her blisters and boils were now tended and wrapped neatly with bandage derived and made from the tree barks coming from the forest. She sighed and prevented herself from getting too emotional.This is the
Kane and the creature clashed as the young man enveloped his fists with a thick layer of blue fire. He ignited the fire from the soles of his feet and used it as lateral thrusters to punch the creature away, marking it with the powerful blue fire as well.The creature bounced a few times on the ground, marking the soil with its tar. It crashed against the trees and some of the trees fell, the roots showing as the trees laid on the ground.As the creature stands up, Kane concentrates his power into a single location. He puts all his concentration into burning the creature and turning it to goo, just like the other. "Burn..." He said as he stared at the creature and the blue embers of fire against its chest.The creature shrieks as the fire spreads out fast and begins to use its tar body as fuel, creating an even bigger flame. But then, the creature did something unexpected. And it did something that turned their battle around.As it continuously burns against the blue fire, it throws i
It hurriedly ran straight towards Kane now a part of its tar body was able to extend, much like a spider's web. The creature looks terrifying.Kane was barely able to dodge what the creature threw at him. When the creature threw a sticky web-like substance against him it didn't stop with just one. But it threw dozens of it at him, making him dizzy as he tries to avoid everything while he's in midair.As he's getting tired of avoiding the webs, he begins a counter attack of his own. Using his wits, the young man opens the palm of his hands and tries to replicate how the creature spews out the web. Instead of it coming from his mouth, Kane created thick thread like material from the tip of his fingers.He closed his eyes momentarily, opening it to unleash the threads he had been creating on the palm of his hands. This time, he'll give it all. With a blood curdling scream, Kane pushed forward and went close enough to the creature, just enough to trap and not let it escape."Now, you burn
Only following the instructions given by Rowan the Creator, Kane flew at full speed to match the raging bull. He was almost out of breath, not realizing that he was fighting off those beasts for almost two hours and a half.Every breath that he took was excruciatingly painful. His mouth and throat is so dry it feels like whenever he breathes tiny needles are piercing through his insides, rupturing his muscles from the inside, making it even more challenging to breathe.Water. All he could think about was water. He was so dehydrated that his skin was beginning to lose its elasticity. He can feel his muscles cramp and as he uses and summons more flame, the more painful it gets. As if his body was burning from within.Kane was slowly losing his vision. Only his sheer willpower to fight off the bull was keeping him awake. He propels himself and forces himself to go even faster. Every step, every time the bull's hooves hit the ground, the earth shakes and the ground beneath its feet cracks
Rajah rushed to the man and the baby, leaving Kane behind. She sat near Rajesh and took the baby away from him. When the baby was already in her arms, she kissed its forehead and hushed him. The baby who was frantic, calmed at her touch. She now looked at Kane who was standing in front of them."Come." She said, "I need you to do something for me."The young man looked at her, still confused and didn't have a clue at what's going on. Instead of answering Rajah's request in a proper manner, he said "Is that your baby?" He asked.Rajah who's expression was dark has now become soft. "No..." She answered as her lips trembled. "He's the son of my best friend..."After hearing the answer, the young man bit his lips and looked at the Sorcerer who's obviously mourning. "Where's his mother?" Kane asked again even though he had a gut feeling of what went on. He just wanted to confirm if it is true."She died, right in front of my eyes." She said with tears forming in her eyes. "Now, please... I
