2023-02-03 19:36:50A few days had gone by since Orie and Shin told the tales of the past and everything was on the way to going back to normal. Shiro was back to evading the minor hits that were put on him and Mia was back to following him everywhere. Victor could finally work peacefully in his lab and Yamato went back to his restaurant job. Endo had nothing to do so he joined Yamato, and as for Tanaka... well, she had her reasons for letting him stay.
Dave was back in control of his body with no memory of what happened. He knew something was missing but didn't try to figure it out because of the fears he had. He just continued his life as if nothing happened even though Shiro kept looking at him differently.
Due to the damage caused when the hunters attacked, school remained closed and all the staff and students had some free time on their hands. Some went to parties, some went to games, some went on picnics, some even travelled. But Mia decided to use her time to see her father.
All Orie could tell her was that he was involved in an intense battle. The same battle killed Victor's father and is also the reason why Shiro's mother was missing. The battle claimed Dave's memories and left Lee III in the bad shape he is in now.
From the screen where they were allowed to stand and see him, Mia wouldn't believe that what she saw was a living person. There was no skin on him and even his flesh was unevenly charred. There was no good explanation for how he managed to hang on to life but his heart kept beating and even though it was at a slow rate, his body was healing.
"At the rate he is going," the doctor said
"He might be walking in three years time"
Mia paid no attention to all the medical points the doctor was making, she just cried and hugged Shiro and continued crying.
In the middle of her tearing up, she heard a male voice that she didn't recognize call out to her.
"Hong Jian" the voice said
"Stay strong"
"Wait for me"
"I won't be long"
"I'll be with you soon"
As she continued to cry, she wondered "father, is that you?"
Shiro walked Mina home where he sat beside her and gave her comfort.
"Don't worry" he said as he held her close
"He'll be well soon so just wait for him"
"I'm sure he'll be proud of person you've become"
"So just wait till he wakes up"
"It's not everyone that can get as lucky as you... my dear Hong Jian"
On hearing the last thing Shiro said, Mia's eyes widened as she sat up to look at him.
"How do you know that name?!!" She asked in shock.
"I have a phantom twin brother" Shiro replied
"It makes sense that I'd be able to hear spiritual messages even though they weren't directed to me"
"So you're sure it was from my father?" Mia asked, looking Shiro in the eyes
"Absolutely" Shiro replied then Mia wiped her tears like a child and immediately hugged Shiro saying "thank you". Shiro just sat there and held her as she rested her head on his chest.
"Alright, that's enough from you two" Victor said as he walked into the room
"We've got things to do"
"What things exactly?" Shiro asked in annoyance
"You know, important things" Victor replied
"Like making sure you guys actually in good shape and not hiding any internal injuries"
"I would've done it some time ago but you guys just keep running around without stopping"
"So if you don't mind, just come over to my lab let me run some tests on you"
"Nah, I'm good" Shiro said as he stood up to leave
"I'm pretty sure I have nothing to worry about"
"Me too" Mia said in agreement as she stood up to join him.
They both walked out the front door but they didn't find themselves outside the house. Instead, they saw that they were inside Victor's lab. They immediately tried to leave but after passing through door after door after door, they soon saw that there was no way out.
"Alright guys" Victor said as he walked into the room.
"If you would just lay inside this bio scanner" he said, pointing to two devices beside him
"You'll be free to go in a few minutes"
Shiro and Mina had no other choice but to do as Victor said. They laid in the bio scanners and Victor closed them and began running his tests.
A few minutes later, he got results and it was just as he had expected. Mia was at fifty percent, Shiro's energy was off the charts as usual but it's frequency was unstable.
"How long did you fight without your headphones?" Victor asked, looking at Shiro sternly
"About a minute or two" Shiro answered
"Were you trying to activate overdrive again?" Victor asked
"Um, yeah" Shiro answered
"Oh, that explains what I'm looking at" Victor muttered
"What exactly are you looking at?" Shiro asked in curiosity and Victor turned away from his computer and said to Shiro "for the next few days, you are advised to not use any of your abilities. Please follow my advice if you want to recover quickly"
"Same goes for you too, Mia"
"Okay" Mia answered
"Did you know we were cousins?" She asked
"Yes I knew" Victor answered
"I'm a descendant of Lee, of course I would know"
Mia and Shiro walked out of the house expecting to finally get some time to themselves but as soon as they took a few steps outside, Orie was waiting for them in front of his car.
"This can't be good" Shiro said under his breath as they walked to meet Orie.
"Mr. Addison" Shiro called out as he approached Orie
"What's the issue this time?" He asked
"It's less of an issue" Orie replied
"More of a potential catastrophe"
"I knew it" Shiro said in a sharp whisper
"So what do you need from me?" He asked
"Well, I need help" Orie answered
"Not just from you but from anyone that is willing to offer it"
"Something unusual has occurred and I need help investigating it"
"So, where are we going?" Shiro asked, and Orie smiled and looked at him.
"We're going to Dahüd"

Burn out
As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept. The "silent night
I am here
"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
