Chapter 6 – After Math 

(Chers P.O.V Vectre’s Mother)

Seeing that my husband had disappeared to play stick fight with Drake and that my son Vectre has made a friend and have gone off to play in the park. I was left alone in the restaurant drinking my favorite beverage, ginger tea.

The aroma relaxes me and the spicy refreshing that accompanies it fills me with delight.

It’s only been half an hour since my son has gone and suddenly a loud explosion was heard from the nearby area.

“Vectre!!” I shouted worried about my eight year old son. Astrea better not let anything happened to him or I swear to the heavenly Buddha I will gut her like a fish. 

Running out of the restaurant as quickly as I can and heading out to the park with the rest of the guards trailing behind me. I used my fire ability to boost my speed.

I could see a lot of commoners and noble’s alike running and panicking. Some are shouting that the champions of the Dark God’s has come and attacked the Kingdom while other are hurt and bleeding.

I could see shards of stone scattered everywhere in the area. Some almost reaching the restaurant and that’s a good five minute walk from the park.

I feel slightly panicked. Vectre better be not hurt, not a single hair should be missing from my son or else someone’s going to pay the price.

Arriving in Cloud Park, I could see soldiers surrounding the lake. But the odd thing is from here I can’t see the lake water. As I grew closer and closer to the lake, I spot Vectre surrounded by guards. Astrea is talking to them.

“Madame the area is off limits” suddenly a soldier of the kingdom tried to stand in my way trying to block my path towards my beloved son.

This guy must be new. Because no one I mean no one would ever obstruct the Crimson Witch.

Enveloping my fist in fire. I charged towards the soldier. Clearly taking him by surprise  as he didn’t have time to defend himself. My fiery punch connected to his helmet and he flew back into the lake that now turned into a puddle and in the middle of it is a massive hole.

The soldiers were about to avenge their comrade but upon recognizing me, they just shook their head at the fallen soldier and offered prayers.

Hmp! That’s right better back away.

“Astrea” I called.

The group of soldiers turned around and the leader of the group upon seeing me. Gave me a respectful nod and gave way.

“What’s going on here Captain” I asked.

“Madame Cher” he called respectfully.

He paused for a minute as if thinking in how to explain the situation.

“You see. It’s the young master who caused this Madame.”

“What??!!??” I was shocked and flabbergasted. How could my cute little boy with his silky black hair and dreamy caramel eyes with his cute face had to do with all this destruction.

Last time I check. Vectre didn’t have this sort of power.

“I didn’t do it” cried out a young boy, his cute voice reaching my ears. I instantly recognize that voice. That voice belongs to my child.

I turned towards my son. “Okay so who did it then?” I asked him.

“I don’t know” he shrugged.

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Are you telling the truth” I threatened.

Suddenly he just started bawling and crying. Hearing him cry breaks my heart.

“Come here sweetie.” I called out gently.

Vectre immediately ran towards my embrace and cried in my arms.

I looked towards the captain.

“I will sort this out. Don’t worry. My husband will give the full report of what happened to the King. I believe it’s just my son’s ability gone out of control. Abilities don’t normally manifest in a child this young but it does happen albeit rarely. The Azure clan will pay the damages to get this park fixed. Would that be satisfactory captain?” I asked him. I already obviously know the answer. There’s no way that this ant will disagree otherwise he disappears.

"Ofcourse Madame." he replied respectfully with his head slightly bowed.

"Soldiers. Scatter and spread the word that there isn't an attack. Just an ability user gone that can't quite control his powers." ordered the captain.

“Astrea lets go home. I want to hear the whole story. Understand?”

“Yes Mistress” answered the beautiful maid.
