7. Black Cloaks
Tenman appeared jumped of the trees and surrounded the father-son duo.
“Who are you?” father shouted. A grey halo could be seen in the ground.
“We are taking the boy” one black cloak man said. Their faces were not visible due to the cloak.
Shivaay was surprised, he didn’t assume that they would be attacked just outside the city wall. He saw no guards could be seen at the top of the wall which is not possible at broad daylight as monster hoard could attack at any time. All of them were atleast equally or more powerful than his father.
A grey chain appeared in his father’s hand. Swords appeared in each of the black cloaks with different coloured halo in the ground. Anyone could easily understand a big battle was about to begin.
His father attacked, threw the chain towards one of them at a very fast speed catching him unguarded. The man decimated into pieces. Other black cloaks were astonished they didn’t think he powerful. The leader of the black cloaks came forward “Let’s all attack him together”.
“Come on I am waiting” he smirked.
Shivaay also activated his halo. Although he was the weakest among them, he had to help his father in every way possible.
A tree vine appeared from under the ground catching two men and thew them to the city wall making them meat paste sticking on the wall, his mother appeared.

“One more appeared, it became more interesting” a old looking man was watching them from the sky. “Looks like I have to intervene”.
His parents were busy fighting the black cloaks. Although they were only two but after his mother joined the battle atleast for now they have the upper hand.
A big gust of wind came and threw his mother on a nearby hill. She went deep inside the debris.
“Honeyyyyy!” he paused. A white beard old was floating just above the ground.
“Who are you now?” his father asked the old man. He could feel the pressure coming from that man, he was no match to him.
“Give your child to me”
Shivaay didn’t know what to do, who to ask for help. He looked again towards the city wall; no guards could be seen as before. He knew they were in an extremely dangerous situation.
His mother came out from the debris, she was clearly heavily injured. Blood could be seen flowing from her shoulders. She found it difficult to lift her hand but she had to help her husband or all of them will surely die. After her husband got injured in the army, she also took retirement from military special forces to live a peaceful life, she was even more powerful than her husband.
Watching the old man, she knew they were no match to him even if they fight together. Even so she came forward … “Son, run and don’t look back, try to find purple lotus your aunt is there” she couldn't even say the words clearly, the old man would attack them anytime. His mom looked at him one last time and smiled. Both of his parents knew they would never see him again but they didn’t regret it as for parents their children are everything.
Shivaay clearly knows what to do, he ran towards the city gate trying to get help from the guards. He increased his pace.
Soon after two heads fell in front of him from above. He was astounded, those were his parents. The old man landed in front of him.
His eyes became red in anger… “You, I will kill you”. He activated his halo and rushed towards the old man. As he reached him, the old man punched at his chest and he immediately lost conscious. Shivaay couldn’t even react.
“You must be grateful; your blessing is worth to my master” the old man smirked.
