I sincerely apologize for not posting anything for a very long time. This is due to the reason of exams at my school and studying for entrance exams, which i am completely done. since my last entrance exam was just finished this last Sunday or yesterday. But, no worries, even though i did not post, i made a lot of chapters, so possible every month or two weeks there will be a new chapter, for both my stories.
After a few hours and the sun had finally set, Venera with the sleeping Kaos in hand had finally returned to their house, where the woman was waiting outside, with a beautiful smile. They entered the house and climbed to the highest point, where they entered a simple room with a large wooden oak bed in the middle, and to the left was a shelf made from oak wood and to the right was a rectangular table and chairs made from mahogany wood. To say the least everything in their house comes from nature, even the light are from mythical beast called Light Bugs. Gently laying Kaos on bed, Venera joined her mother on the table for a chat.
[Mother]: You did a good. Helping those chocobun’s and bunnies would definitely elevate the strength of the forest, and I wouldn’t be surprise if I would see a King and Queen among them.
[Venera]: I only did what was right, and it wasn’t only me mother. Kaos also helped them, you should have seen him. He produced this purple chains that made them unable to channel their mana or even make a move.
[Mother]: Oh? And how long did this purple chains last?
[Venera]: They lasted the entire time, to stop them from running away and keeping them powerless while the cute mythical beast feed on those humans.
[Mother]: *his powers are growing everyday it would seem it is time to harness it, same with Venera*
[Mother]: Okay, it’s time to sleep now and tomorrow we will have training.
[Venera]: Yes, mother. Will Kaos be joining us as well?
[Mother]: Of course, dear.
With that, Venera quickly got of the chair and got on the bed beside the sleeping Kaos, hugging him for comfort, then falling asleep afterwards. Seeing this brought a smile to mother’s face, but she did not linger in the room and immediately went outside where, a woman in shadows was waiting. The woman cannot be seen, aside from her long chestnut colored hair and deep emerald eyes. Mother went near this woman before having a slight smile seen on her face.
[Mother]: You do know what time it is right?
[Woman]: Time? That trivial thing, does not bother me.
[Mother]: You never change, Terra. It’s nice seeing you again.
[Terra]: Likewise, Sarai. You’ve never visited me once, since three thousand years ago.
[Sarai]: You should understand, my time is not free. I have to travel to different places and do thing for the Old Gods.
[Terra]: I could just ask mom, to talk to the rest of them, you know?
[Sarai]: No need, I already have my break.
[Terra]: Training the True-Nephilim and your daughter?
[Sarai]: Yes, though it would only last for at least five years, then they will be on their own.
[Terra]: Children do need to spread out their wings someday.
[Sarai]: True. How about you come with me after five years? You did say you want to return to the days of adventuring.
[Terra]: I cannot, you should know that. Plus, things have gotten interesting in this forest, over the past few years.
[Sarai]: Interesting? Do tell?
[Terra]: An Ancient Saint Blood Wolf, gave birth to a Devil Blood Wolf. Isn’t that the most interesting thing to happen!
[Sarai]: WHAT?! Have you contacted the Kingdom about this?
[Terra]: Of course not! I want them to stay here! But don’t worry I have my best men watching the place they are at twenty four-seven!
[Sarai]: How about the adventurer’s? They surely must have caught up with this information.
[Terra]: Sadly yes. However, those human can even get near them, and I made sure of that!
[Sarai]: You do know, we are forbidden from interacting with the beings of this realm.
[Terra]: I know, you and mother always remind me off it. But, what I’m doing is simple powering up the mythical beast in my territory. And, do tell little Kaos and Venera thanks, because of them the weak chocobun’s and bunnies finally got stronger.
[Sarai]: You taught them how to absorb the mana from humans didn’t you?
[Terra]: Yup! Everyone is so strong now!
The two women continued to chat until sunrise. That was the only time they said there goodbye’s and when Sarai turned around, she saw Venera carrying Kaos, which both of them still had a sleepy expression. Sarai, went near the two children and immediately brought them to a nearby lake to wash themselves. After washing themselves and putting on a new set of clean clothes, Sarai brought them to a wide open rocky area, near the seas, where they would training. First, she reminded and instructed her daughter on the things she need to do and work on, and in response, Venera found a little space where she sat in lotus position to concentrate on her mana.
Seeing her daughter’s quick response made Sarai nod, and now, she now had to focus solely on the child, who was producing five purple on his left hand, and a menacing palm sized black ball in the other. And before she knew it, the child combined the two, where the black ball was the core while, the five purple chains we’re encircling it. All of a sudden Kaos threw it at the sea, where there was a small explosion then five chains burst out then, vanished out of thin air, which made Kaos laugh.
However, Sarai had a serious face, as she felt the power behind the five chains and especially that black ball, a magic only known to be used by one ancient mythical beast. The serious gaze disappeared as she breathed in and breathed out and slowly made her way to Kaos. As she did a rare, sweet womanly voice entered her head.
[??]: Sarai, don’t worry about his magic, we will deal with that. However, please focus on training his body, I’m afraid as he proceeds with his magic training, his body would fail and would collapse.
[Sarai]: I understand. But, wouldn’t magic training increase his body strength as well?
[??]: That is true, but we need you to push the limits of his body at a young age, because when he grows older and his body could not keep up with the mind, then…
[Sarai]: I understand. Leave it to me!
[??]: Thank you for your help Sarai. I’ll send a gift to them when you leave them on their own, and be prepared because we have a lot of catching up to do~ BYE~ BYE~
Sarai was left there with a smile on her face and since she did not have to worry about Kaos’ magic, she would focus on his body and making sure it would be the strongest. This was the beginning of a Five-Year-Hell training for Kaos that he would never forget.
***
On the same open wide rocky area, a young boy who is supposedly 8-years-old was looking much older, standing at 5’8 at height, having jet black hair reaching his shoulders, with purple eyes, a flame pattern etched onto his chest, has a lean yet, muscular body, a pair of unusual horns and wings. Currently, the boy or should we say young teen, was sitting in lotus position with two orbs in front on him, one orb was purple and chaotic that just expressed danger, if one would touch or go near it, the other one on the other hand was a swirling black ball that contained nothingness, seemingly devouring everything and anything.
The purple and black orb slowly moved towards each other and intertwined, but the weird thing is that the two orbs we’re not rejecting rather they we’re accepting each other. This was the perfect control of one’s elements, a perfect harmonization has been attainted, after a while, a single orb was left, the difference is that the orb was completely made from black chains with purple swirl linings attached to it. The teen, with his serious expression gone replaced with a happy expression jumped upped and down in excitement before taking to the sky’s and going inside the forest.
POV: Kaos
YES! I finally did it, I finally have complete control of my powers! PERFECT HARMONY! Now I won’t lose control like last time…I hope. It’s been 3 years since Mommy Sarai left me and Venera alone in this forest to do her job. Though I, must admit, it’s been a long time since I have seen Venera, no she did not go with mother, but something else happened. But, before we get into that I’ll tell what happened over this past 8 years.
To start it off, mother had me start training since I was very young, to be exact, I think it started when I was a baby, but I didn’t mind it since it enjoyable to a certain degree before she started to add mythical beast to the training. For the first 2 years I was forced to run while having a rope tied to my waist which was connected to a huge boulder, about the size of a small mountain, it was hard at first, but I got used to it eventually. Then, there was special training mother called “FF” or Fist to Fist. Yes, after two years of running with that boulder, for the next 3 years she made me fight with different mythical beast, but she did establish some rules, one no magic and two no severe injuries in which me and my opponent agreed. I forgot to say, in those 2 years of boulder running, I was forced to run faster while, a bunch of flaming bunnies launching themselves at me, and the worst part was I couldn’t defend myself or attack them, only run. But, the Fist to Fist training was really fun, I got to fight a bunch of mythical beast, the best opponent I had was a mythical beast called 4-armed Monkey, it was about half my height, with 4 arms, fur was either black or brown depending on the gender, black is more male, while brown is for female and its strength was incredible, I mean all of its arms are bulging with muscle, it was a truly fun fight. I won that fight by the way, with a few scratches, like a broken arm and leg, no problem.
After the 5 years of physical training, I focused on my magic and during that time I meet the manifestations of my elements, and by the way my elements are Chaos, Void, and a kind of Silver Flame, though I don’t know the official name and the manifestation did not want to tell me. I meet my manifestation when, I first meditated and when I opened my eyes, before me was a grassy plain field with 3 thrones, the right throne was colored silver, the middle throne was purple, and the left throne was black.
On the silver throne sat a young woman about 6’0 in height, flawless white skin, gorgeous body and face like a goddess, with long silver hair and deep silver eyes, but the weird thing is that she had wings, to be more exact large butterfly wings, all the while being surrounded by this dazzling glitter like lights. This woman was Tresa, she told me that her manifestation was the silver flame or as she called it, that’s why I has this flame like pattern on my chest. Another would be because she said that my body, yes body, is constructed out of her, in a sense she is makes up my body, she is my body, wait… putting it that way is kinds weird. Even I don’t get it, all I know is because of her I have flame pattern and my body is not like others, its unique to say in short. Some examples are, I don’t need to eat much, and I can survive pretty much on anything, and maybe the greatest part yet! All my wounds heal really fast, for example the broken leg and arm, it only took a day to heal! Amazing, right?!
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
The one in middle, sitting on the purple throne was middle-aged man who was 7’0 in height, has a muscular body, and handsome face accompanied with a scar running down his left temple to neck. As well a dark purple hair with red highlights on the ends of his hair and purple eyes. This man was Thramos, who was the manifestation of my chaos element, or for me personally I like to call chains, I don’t know why but, making my chaos element into chains just feel natural. Though, he did give me a stern warning that overusing my chaos element would bring harm to my body, blood will reverse its flow or bones would gradually get weaker, simple things like that. Though, I really do not know my limit anyways, I want to try yet, I don’t want to face the consequences of the feedback if possible.
The last one, sitting on the black thrown was a young man, a bit younger than Thramos, having a height of 6’8, has a lean and muscular body, a handsome face, with sharp draconic wings and weird looking horns that start from his temples going to the side then having a sharp curve going inwards, then forwards, that’s looks really cool. Sorry, I was getting sidetracked, as I was saying, he has dark medium length hair and deep dark eyes that seems to suck everything up, and another weird thing about him is his skin is dark and scaly and his hands and feet are covered in some armor that gives an ominous vibe, especially those claws. This man introduced himself as Demonic Dragon Gram, the manifestation of my void element, and I must say I am very jealous of those horns and wings. Another, thing is that the void element is perhaps the most versatile of my 3 elements, it can be either defensive or offensive, but it does take a lot of my mana, good thing I have lots of mana. However, he did warn me that overusing my void element would devoid me of myself, truthfully I don’t know what it fully means, so for now I just left it like that. However, although saying that things did turn for the brighter when he said I’ll grow horns and wings like him, isn’t that awesome.
In short, my elements are S-Flame, Chaos, and Void. S-Flame could be considered my healing, Void and Chaos are my main defensive and offensive spells, and the spells I created and learned from Thramos and Gram, are absolutely destructively awesome! Now, getting back to those horns and wings. I grew them a year ago, and it hurts like hell, I mean I woke in the middle of the night and felt my temples and back burning sensation, like my skin was breaking apart and disintegrating, which I mind you really happened. But, I couldn’t complain much though as I got my sweet horns and wings, there practically the same as Gram’s with the exception that instead of being pure black, it had added purple outlines.
When mother left, that was when the time I was truly alone in a sense, mom was no longer there as well as Venera, she too, was gone. What I mean is she did not go away somewhere or with mother, she went into this hibernate state. I didn’t know why, but all I know is that she is incased this large dark egg that pulsates in black, red, and purple every now and then. But, it isn’t so bad since every time I go back to the house, I sleep beside the egg and I feel incredible warmth and for some reason fatigue.
Another thing is that 2 years ago, a golden chest rained down from the sky right down in front of my house. The chest was fairly normal except its pure golden, and radiates this unbearable light, and for some reason I could not carry or even move the thing, even trapping it in the void doesn’t work, I mean what the hell. Aside, from the constant, or few hours of physical training and the rest magic training, and the few instances Tresa, Thramos, and Gram appear before me, this is practically my 8 years inside this forest.
Oh, look here we are, at my house. Before, I entered my house, I saw that the chest was not shining brightly anymore, it was now just simply a golden chest. I approached the golden chest and for some reason, I was able to easily lift it, seeing now I can move the chest, I decided to bring it inside. Once I got to my room, I placed the chest beside the large dark egg, and opened it.
Inside we’re a multitude of things, first we’re two bronze rings, one ring has a pair of what seems to look like draconic wings even its touch feels similar to that of a dragon, I know, because I have wings myself, and the other ring was more serpentine, it was in the form of a snake that seems to be eating itself, weird, but cool. Second was a bronze, gold shining scythe, about body was a bit taller than me, and the blade was almost twice the height of the blade, but what was weird about the scythe was the body and blade looked to be covered in scales. Inside the chest was also, an uncountable amount of emerald circular coins, and lastly a letter that I opened it and the content was this…
Dear Kaos,
You can just call me Mommy for now, and no this is not Sarai, but you’re real mom. Before a ton of questions entire your mind and by now you would have, finish this letter first and all those questions in your head will be answered, appropriately.
Let’s start on what you really are, as you might have guessed you are not human, nor any race found in your current realm. Your true identity is that of a True-Nephilim, a race that was favored and cherished by very, very, powerful beings, however due to that reason, jealousy arose on others and attacked your race. Sadly, to say, your race did not survive, only you are left. I will not say who initiated the attack, I only hope that you don’t let your emotion get the better of you and, always stay by the side of Venera and other Mythical Beast.
Another thing, the reason why you grew those horns and wings are because of your uncle, and as you grow older, you might be more draconian looking, not in a sense of you turning into a dragon, but let’s just say, stay clear of any Elder Draconian in the future.
Next, would be why the reason why me and your father has not gone to meet you. The reason for that, is a mystery you would have to find out for yourself, treat like a game if you would. Don’t worry, I and your father have always been watching you ever since you born, when you we’re training, up until now when you’re currently reading this.
Now, time to explain those that you found inside the chest, I will explain them to you one by one. Let’s start off with the rings, the winged ring belongs to you and its previous owner was your uncle. When he died, he wanted your father to have it, but when he learned we had a child, he changed his mind and instead wanting to give it to you. The other ring would belong to Venera, the previous owner was her mother, Sarai. You could call it a family heirloom. Both of those, rings are capable of storing large amount of things inside, remember to take out the scythe and rings, then absorb them individually, after that absorb the chest, it better to store it whole than storing the individual emerald coins, plus that chest is very handy for your adventures.
Then, let’s talk about your weapon. This is actually my personal weapon that was transformed by your father and uncle to have a more menacing and deadly look, as well as being more efficient in combat. Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine giving my only son, my weapon, remember don’t let anyone else touch it, though Venera could be the only exception to that.
Lastly, it would be a long time before we are able to meet, but always remember we will be watching you. To add on that note, always! And I mean ALWAYS! Protect Venera, that girl is quite similar to you, she and her mother are the last ones remaining of their species.
My son, you have a long and very dangerous adventures ahead for you, but I know you will overcome them. We will be waiting to see your adventures.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Uncle, Sarai
Once I finished reading the letter, a rush of emotions surged through me, happiness, sadness, anger, hope, but I immediately calmed down, since I’ve noticed that my elements we’re starting to manifest on my hands. Taking a deep breath, I swore to myself that I would take care of Venera no matter what, meet my real parents, and lastly enjoy my adventures. Other than that, though I am the last of my kind, I still have my parents, Mother Sarai and of course Venera, so there’s really no point in having a bad mood, but I will find those people who killed my kind and erase from this world, one day.
Before I could examine the scythe within the golden chest, the dark egg began too pulsate and glow in red, black and purple. I began to see cracks forming, starting from small cracks it gradually began bigger and bigger, and suddenly exploded into a large multicolored blinding light. When he opened his eyes once again, he noticed that he was now staring into the bright sun. Getting up, he started to examine himself, and found that he had no injuries except that his clothes we’re nor non-existent as well as the tree house, however the golden chest was still at the same place, but the egg was not there anymore.
He looked in every direction, to search for the egg that was until he realized that the once bright sun has turned dark. He looked into the sky once more and saw dark ominous clouds appear, and in the center of this event was one being. With long black hair with purple highlights, deep red snake-like eyes, standing at 5’7, with a beautiful face and perfectly proportioned body, accompanied by 3 pairs of wings, that seemed to be burning of black flames.
[Kaos]: VENERA!
Yes, the being that I was staring at was exactly Venera, but for some reason she feels and looks different. I tried calling out to her and got no response. Then, after a while I saw her move and stare at me, and not the kind of stare that you would want people looking at you. She raised her in front of her, and starting assaulting me with a barrage of black flames.
I was barely able to avoid the black flames, but as I looked around in my surroundings the black flames we’re not getting smaller or getting extinguish, it was actually getting bigger and more dangerous by the second. Seeing that talking would not get through to her, I decided to fight back. I started to gather my two elements into each hand, on purple chain ball and one dark never ending ball.
Then, I instantly shot out multiple purple chains from the ground beneath her, with the intention to bring her to the ground, although I could fly, my senses are telling me, fighting on ground would be my best bet. However, those chains we’re immediately dispose of, when the ominous clouds started to get active and threw out multiple lightning and it did not end there, it was even accompanied by multiple winds blades. That started form into a kind of tornado. Now this got me really interested, my chains could actually get destroyed…this is turning out to be fun.
Once again, I sent out multiple chains from multiple direction, and this time I made too sure to use 100%! I am getting serious! And, as I hope this time I was successful into making the chain grab her arm and pull her down. As she reached the ground, I quickly followed up, but to my surprise I was the one being prevented to get any closer, the winds blades started to attack me, and the lightening surrounded me.
To avoid getting injured I started to activate a spell that Gram, had taught me…Void Dome. I raised the black ball up high and it flew out of my hand expanding itself, encasing the whole battlefield, from the ground below, to the skies above. Everything in my vision was filled with darkness, this was the Void Dome, an absolute field of darkness, where no one will be able to do anything, except me of course. Now, with the wind blades and lightning no longer hindering me, I slowly approached the area where Venera fell, and saw her there, on her knees, trying to remove the chain from her hand.
As I approached her, I stared into her eyes once more and saw nothing but the desire to kill. I kneeled down and hugged her tightly while, removing the purple chain that was weakening her. When the chain disappeared so did the Void Dome…I did not want to cause her pain, no matter what! As the Void Dome disappeared, I felt the surge of wind blades and lightning starting to surround us and striking me, but I did not care for the wounds that I would receive. I kept hugging her, not wanting to let go…and the last thing I ever saw was a black flame engulfing us…
