Rise of the abandoned son

Chapter 3: Unknown Soul

Chapter 3

Crimson woke up with a pounding headache, his vision was blurry and he couldn't even stand up, he sat on his bed for over 30 minutes trying to claim the headache.

"Sign, I'm breathing that means I'm alive, next time, I definitely wouldn't drift into the forest, who knows, I might get killed?" He affirmed to himself after thinking of that horrifying old woman, just thinking of her sent shivers down his spine.

"I gotta go tell Mom about this, wait a sec, how did I end up in my room? Cause the last thing I remember was fainting after feeling my bone breaking down" As confused as Crimson was he decided to ask his mother, he stood up and walked over towards his mother's Courtyard.

The family house in which they live is as big as a small community, as not solely he and his family live there but the elders and theirs too. It took him some time to reach there as no vehicles are allowed to be used in the family house and on his way unlike usual the maids and servants didn't greet him, " humans are a disgusting race, they only worship the strong but bully the weak, I'm certain Gustave is now receiving all the attention."

Crimson was angry for the disrespectful ways the maids and servants looked at him and at the same time jealous of Gustave.

It took him over six minutes to reach his mother's Courtyard and as usual, he casually wanted to walk in, the maids who are also his mother's guards, one of them step out and halted him.

"Sorry young master, the lady is practising and won't want any form of disturbance in the meantime,'' She told him, Crimson was confused.

"Don't she always practice whenever I'm around and how the hell did I become a 'form of disturbance'?''

Crimson answered her with an inquisitive look, but the maid still didn't bulge as she stood at the door blocking Crimson from entering the room,

Crimson felt mad at the maid's disrespectful tone and rudely tried pushing her but how can an unawakened be able to make an intermediate-tier warrior bulge? Seeing that he couldn't push her Crimson started cursing her loudly.

"Fuck you! How dare you to block this young master's way, I will have my mother throw you out of the family and you shall be sold into slavery for this disrespectful act of yours!"

The ruckus seems to have gotten someone's attention as a young lady who seems to be in her mid-twenties opens the door and comes out, her long blue hair reaching her tiny hips sparkle, her crystal clear eyes were so captivating with her feminine eyebrows, well shape chin, her nose and mouth were covers with a veil preventing anyone from seeing it's brilliance, her aura was both sexually alluring and cold at the same time, her footsteps were as light as that of a cat.

Seeing the person who stepped out of the room, the maids all quickly bowed down to her, Crimson was happy as the person was his mother, he shot the maid who blocked him a dramatic look as he swaggered over to his mother, he was so happy that he failed to capture the disdain look his mother gave him.

"Mom, some of the maids need to be dealt wi....."

"Didn't she say I was busy ?" Crimson couldn't complete his words as her sharp cold tone interrupted him, he was surprised cause she had never used this type of tone on him before, but he thought it might be because she was interrupted from her training so he shoved the uneasy feeling aside.

"She did but I always stay inside your training room whenever you're....."

Slap!

Crimson once again was interrupted but this time he was slapped, his vision turned blurry and his cheeks felt like scorching charcoal was put on them before he could get a grip on himself he found himself plummeting down the stairs of the courtyard, as a normal human, his body was seriously injured as some ribs were broken and his arm was dislocated.

After laying on the ground for over two minutes Crimson struggled to stand up, even though he hadn't awakened he had trained since the day he started walking, he was his family's hope until today, he felt his cheeks have a red feminine fingers hand shape on it, blood dripped out of his mouth when he coughs, his lungs hurt him, he couldn't breathe properly.

He looks toward his mother with a pure shocked expression and that was when he was able to see the look she shot him, it was the same as the one the elder who was in charge of the awakening ceremony gave him.

He even thought this might not be his mother but an imposter, his mother who had always dot on him since he was born had changed so suddenly that he felt confused, even though he disturbed her she shouldn't have hit him that hard.

"Mo... there....i.."

"Didn't the maid tell you not to disturb me?" She appeared to not want to listen to Crimson's words as she interrupted him again.

"But... I... I...want to tell..sob..sob.." that was the first time his mother ever raised her hands to slap him or even beat him, he felt offended and sad, without waiting for her to talk, he dragged his injured body and ran out of the courtyard while sobbing.

His mother watches all this with a cold and detached expression.

The maids around her all lower their heads and go about with their duties.

"Summon Anabela for me, also check up on Gustave, I want to know what he is up to or if he has accepted the Dragon Temple invitation."

Crimson's mother gave an order to the maid who halted crimson, "As you wish my lady" She bowed hastily and replied then stood up and went to deliver the message.

Crimson's mother turned back and went back to the room she just come out from, In not more than 30 minutes the maid came back and was behind a young lady who looked so much like a crimson mother.

*******

Somewhere inside the federation, Denson hospital, in a special ward made of glass Gustave could be seen lying down unconscious while some futuristic tubes were connected to his body.

When he got picked by those organizations, on their way to sign the contract the shuttle got attacked and the intruder's target seems to be him, his sea of souls got destroyed turning him into a cripple destine to never step on the part of awakeners again before his journey even started.

Outside of the ward, the family head, Crimson and Gustave's father Alan Walker stood still while watching Gustave his eyes held a tinge of sorrow beside him stood a doctor in his professional attire.

"Speak doctor what is wrong with Gustave aside from him getting crippled?" With a voice that held authority, Alan Walker asked the doctor without taking his eyes off Gustave.

"His soul seems to be damaged and can only be healed by a super tier with a special soul power which only the fairies have, aside from it his brain seems to have suffered a little setback as his skull cracked and a little blood dripped on his brain causing a side effect which we ain't certain of yet," the doctor said,

"Sign...my family hope is...sigh"

*******

Unknown to those two, a soul has just merged with Gustave's body, not only did a soul merge with it but something else.
