The throne room was in total silence. Each swordsman, mage, and conjurer of different creatures is all silent.Nira's father walked out of his seat. "I believe we all have seen what happened," he said, slowly looking at their faces."This is not the time the Earth Realm will be fighting demons and monsters."The throne room went into a frenzy mode with lots of them talking at once."Silence!" the king said in annoyance. "If you have anything to say, then you are going to wait your turn!"The room was silent once more."We all know how we managed to put the rebel demons in their place. This was possible with just one person whose Hakana was feared in the whole of the kingdom, and now he is dead." Gabriel said in anger.Many of the elders' gazes darted toward Dareth, who was silent. "What do we do now? I think we can either decide what we do next or we perish when the demons come knocking at our door."Gabriel said nothing but simply went back to his seat.The throne room was silent onc

The moment Kael got into the throne room, they all kept quiet. He could see the harsh look on some of their faces. And most of all Dareth who had claimed to be his uncle. " Why am I here?" Kael said to the king who shifted uneasily in his chair. " Is this him?" Gabriel asked staring at Kael and wondering how a teenage boy could carry the burden of the whole kingdom. " And you had his Hakana locked?" Gabriel said with anger staring back at King Almond. " You do know this boy is our only hope of survival?" The throne room went into a frenzy mode again. Some of the elders siding with Gabriel while the others said they were giving too much praise to young Kael. " What about Dareth? Are you saying he is useless as the Swordmaster?" One of the mages asked and everyone looked at Dareth whose gaze was fixed on Kael. " If I remembered vividly, the demon didn't come for him. Instead he came for Kael. So, why should I bother about a full grown man when we should be worried about a boy

Nira words kept ringing in Karl's ears as he laid on the makeshift bed. The thought of accepting what the council wanted crossed it mind. What will happen if he has his power unlocked?Was he was demon when he had his Hakana?Or were they all exaggerating?Kael looked at his body again and he could see he markings. The ruins, the dots and the connection tohis chest. Kael remembered how he was called by the forest. There was something ancient about it. Some intriguing and calling out to him. Kael felt at peace the moment he stepped into the deep forest. It was like the forest was like his home. Kael remembered the path he saw and the mysterious old man who was talking to him about his future. Kael was taken back wondering what the old man knew that he didn't. Master Harond had told him the truth. He was not his father but still he refused to get his Hakana back. He knew with his Hakana back to place, remembering who he really could come to him easily. Kael roles gently on his bed

Kael fell to the ground wondering where he was. " Where did hell is this? Send me back! I need to save him." Nira tried to get up but she was hurt. The demon had slashed a part of her arm. She winced in pain as she grabbed Kael's arm. " Do you really want to die? Don't you cafe about your life? About the kingdom?" she yelled in anger. Kael flinged her hand off him. " And why do I need to care, huh? Why do I need to save and care about people who don't care about me? Master Harond is the only person that do. The only one who knows and sees my pain while the rest see me as a threat. The king wants me gone as Dareth..." Kael stuttered for a bit not sure of that to say. " Then get your memories back. That is the only way you will be able to know you enemies." Nira shouted her arm bleeding out on the green grass she stood on. " I don't want too. All I want is for you to send me back!" Kael shouted. Nira smirked, " Funnily, I don't even know how to do that. My powers activate itself wh

"Kael." Nira called out gently. "Are you alright?" She asked, placing her hands gently on him. "I know you are hurting now, but you need to calm down and let us focus on what is more important.""What is more important? Did you just say that after everything you saw? Do you really wish I wanted all of this? I was going to live a normal life, just like my father did." Kael said, looking at Nira with tears."All I ever asked for was a family of my own and also to be a renowned swordmaster. Just like my father, but Dareth stole everything from me." Kael said with his hands clenched in anger.Nira arched her eyebrows. "I know he did, but do you want that world to burn for that? Don't tell me you don't have any humanity left inside of you."Kael said nothing but simply walked into the woods. Nira jogged after him as he walked, but Kael stopped abruptly and looked back. "You don't need to come after me. I am not running. I am sure your father must be worried by now. Go to him," he said with
