PART 13 :-
SLIENCE BEFORE THE STORM
[A month pass in a blink of an eye. Bond almost mixed in the environment of Joyful. The Bully stop for a moment, but the hatred at Bright still flows in the air.]
[A group standing outside the Joyful barrier.]
"Hey boss, how long we have to wait!???"
"This barrier is not a good sign for us. There is no oder, come from headquarter as well. We have to wait until headquarter gives us permission."
"What if he comes outside the barrier?"
"Then it will be easy. But he is in Joyful right now, so first we have to get permission. Then nobody will stop us."
MC perspective :-
My and Bond's life goes good in Joyful, because of that incident in the market, which is a hot topic for a while. There is not much bully right now as well.
[In the class]
Shaman taking our class.
"So today, I want to ask you about your future. Now each one of you going to tell me about your goal in life."
Almost every one share their desire.
"Bright what is your aim in life???" The teacher ask me.
"I don't know yet."
"Aaaahhhhhh….. then how about, what you want to do in future!???"
"I don't have any specific goal… I want to see the world, and the people I meet acknowledge me."
"That's very good." Teacher appreciate me.
In the lunch time we both playing, at that time some people come with Lord and said- " There he is, my job is done here."
"Who are they?" After saying that, I looked at Bond, he is trembling in fear.
"Hey Bond, do you know them?"
....
[Few moments earlier at Lord's office.]
Lord perspective :-
I never thought they will find him this early.
"Lord of Joyful, it's a pleasure to meet you. Today we are here, as a representative of Annunaki[*] company. We think that you have someone important, which belongs to us."
"He does not belong to you anymore. He comes to me to ask for help, and I help him."
"And that is the reason we are here to negotiate. Our organization respect your power and position, and only for that reason, we wants to communicate with you."
"You don't have anything, which is valuable for me." I replied.
"A Lord like you know the value of an information. We know, what you are searching from land to land, and you can have that information with our help. But only if you agree and return 3k34 to us. "
"You think I will believe in your words. There is no way you have it."
"But we know where you can find that information for your future purposes."
[ He took a piece of paper from his pocket. After reading that piece, Lord is completely shock.]
"How are you are able to get that information!????"
[ With excitement]
"We can provide more, if you just accept our deal."
"Okay..okay, I just want the full detail information."
It's not like I promised them that I would protect him. I only negotiated to get some benefit, and I have it now.
[* Annunaki company :- A organisation which conducts human experimental research . ]
PART 14 :-
A STORM NAME ANNUNAKI
"There he is. My job is done. Don't hurt the kid beside him."
"Hey, Bond, do you know them?"
"They are from the Annunaki Company," Bond said in a fearful voice.
"You ran away from them? Hey, Lord, why are they here inside the barrier?"
"I told you I wouldn't take responsibility for him. If they find him, then he has to deal with them by himself."
[They surrounded Bright and Bond.]
"We have to escape from here."
"Bright, stay out of this," Lord ordered, but Bright refused.
"Kal, take Bright back."
[Kal grabbed Bright. He tried to wriggle out of his grip, but it was useless. Bond tried to run away again, but this time those people caught him.]
"Hey! Leave me! He needs my help!" Bright shouted.
"I never thought you would give us this much trouble, 3K34."
"It's okay, Bright. I'm glad I met you… but I can't change my destiny."
Those were the last words from Bond before the boss struck the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.
"It's Group 17 from Memphis. We have finally captured 3K34, and now we're heading back to headquarters. Over and out."
"You morons, leave him! He is not your tooool—" Bright shouted in rage.
Everyone gathered to see the commotion. The group ignored Bright and left the barrier with Bond.
"Look, Bright, it's too late now. They have already crossed the barrier," Lord said.
"Why… why, why, why, why? What did Bond ever do to you that you hate him, huh?"
"He just needed help, and you all stood there like cowards!!!" Bright shouted in rage.
....
Lord perspective :-
"You think, you can protect anyone. You are just a kid."
"And what are you adults doing!!??"
"You just mate him a month ago and arguing with me!!!?? I who taking care of you,since you can't even remember. I am your master and you have to follow my orders."
"All you guys do is hate me and punish me for a crime I didn't even know about."
I kept my emotions away so that I can protect you and you think it's not enough. You who doesn't even realise what I loose think that.
"Leave me, I have to go and save him...eeeaaaa."
Still not realising, that it's too late.
"You will going to die or become their test subject, if you chase them. Now leave that topic."
"I don't care what happened without trying, I am going to save him."
[ With full of range in his eyes.]
Haa, that eyes again. So everyone feels that Aura too. They are okay because of my presence.
"Kal let him go."
"But, master… "
"It's okay, I am tired of him."
[After releasing from Kal's grab, Bright run towards that group.]
"What's that presence in the air!!!."
[Bright aura break someone's sleep.]
PART 15 :-
FACE THE STORM
MC perspective :-
I have to hurry before it's too late. I am running towards Bond. I already yawning, but I can't stop now. There they are, I finally found them. I grab a knife in my hand and start shouting,
"Stop it right there. Leave Bond or I will make you pay."
[The boss from that group take a deep breath.]
"That kid again, what's his problem."
"Hey boss, shall we kill him???"
"Are you out of your mind? That Lord wants him alive if we hurt him it going to be a bad news for us."
"We are not in the barrier anymore, and also it's him who came to us. We are not going to take any responsibility for our actions anymore…"
[The boss reply.]
"Don, go silence that kid. We can't allow him to keep shouting in this area. It's a forest road, but if people find out, the headquarters won't be happy."
A man from their group stepped forward, ready to fight.
"You think you can defeat an adult…? Ha."
He came to grab my collar, but I dodged immediately and went in for an attack. His instincts were sharp—his punches came fast—but I managed to dodge all of them.
I used to play and fight with animals in the hills, so I know how to move quickly. But that won't help me win this fight because I don't have much strength. I have to think of something.
"A kid moving this fast is really impressive, but that's not enough to beat me."
I dodged his attack again and slid across the grass. At the right moment, I struck and finally made a wound on his right leg with my knife.
"Hey, boss! That kid managed to cut him!" one of them said in shock.
"He may be a kid, but he's quite smart. When Don attacks, his lower body movement slows. That kid noticed the opening and used it instantly."
"Hex, go and finish this. We can't waste any more time."
"You've really pissed me off, kid," the man said, looking frustrated.
"Knock… knock… kid."
I turned around, and something came at me incredibly fast. Before I could move my body, a punch slammed into my stomach.
[Blood burst from Bright's mouth as he was thrown back to the ground.]
I couldn't even stand. What should I do?
"You're fighting for this test subject? Ha… you're just a fool."
[ He dropped Bond from his shoulder and kicked him. ]
"He is a failure and always will be a failure. We only want him so he can at least do a slave's job."
"D-don't hurt him…"
[Bright said in a weak voice.]
They kept hurting him again and again.
"I said stop hitting my frieeend!"
[Bright shouted in rage.]
"What's with this aura? I feel so weak… and there's pain inside my body."
"He has this kind of power? There is no way we can let him leave here."
"We can't take him with us… so we have to kill him."
The boss drew his sword and moved in for killing me. But at that moment, a man stepped between them.
[ A man appeared, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with a high collar. He had long hair and a thick mustache and beard. ]
PART 16 :-
A SAVIOUR AND PURPOSE OF LIFE
MC perspective :-
"Woohoo… A kid going against a group of adults? That's really rare—and impressive. I like your courage, kid,"
he said in a calm, warm voice.
"What is he doing here?" one of them whispered in fear.
"I never thought this kid had this kind of power. An aura strong enough to attract even me. First, I need to clean you all up."
He instantly punched the man who had attacked me, sending him flying nearly twenty yards away.
The man was unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, he knocked down every one of them—except the boss.
"Why are you here? Let me go… please," the boss said in a frightened voice.
"You people couldn't even fight a kid fairly. Now contact your headquarters."
One of the men quickly connected the walkie-talkie.
"I hope you recognize my voice very well. Let me make this clear—from now on, the kid you're looking for is under my protection. Forget about him. If any of your men come near him again, I will erase your existence," the man declared calmly.
A voice came from the device.
"Leave that place immediately."
The group obeyed and quickly left.
"It looks like your friend's senses need some time to recover," the man said.
"Why… why… why am I so weak? I couldn't even protect my friend. Why am I so helpless? If I weren't cursed—if I were just a normal child—maybe everyone would help me."
[ Bright began punching the ground, tears streaming from his eyes as he cried in helplessness. ]
"Why do you want to protect your friend? Why go that far for him?"
"Do you really need a reason to protect someone?"
"You are a reckless kid, but an honest one. This world is cruel, society doesn't care what curse or gift you carry, if they don't find any profit they will never comes to support you. The one who holds the power always talk, make his own laws and other needs to follow that laws."
What is he talking about.
"So if you think that nobody helps you because you are cursed, than you are wrong."
"People like you, who have power, will never understand my pain… Everyone avoids me. They don't even want me to touch them. Those eyes… they always hurt me.
But Bond was the first person who called me his friend. He accepted me as I am. He looked at me like he truly trusted me… and I couldn't even protect him."
I didn't even know who he was, but I still told him something I had never told anyone before. I told him everything about my life.
"You say nobody understands your pain. But can you understand others' pain? You think they all hate you, but have you ever tried to understand their pain—why they hate you?"
"What!!????"
"It's a cycle, no one wants to hear other thoughts, and that is the reason hatred grow. In human emotions hate and love both exists, if you try to understand others your love grow for them if you complain and avoid them they still going to blame you and their hate grow." [ With a warm voice]
I never thought that.
"You are not able to protect your friend that's true, but their also several people who are much weaker than you, who wants power to protect someone, and when they achieve power they became like others too."
"I want to get strong so that I can protect my love once."
"What is the garanty, that after becoming powerful you will still in the path of protecting. You will not going to hurt others!!!??? The only thing people love is to hate others,"
"A power not acknowledge by others is not worth to have."
"What!!" [ With shock]
"I want to acknowledge by everyone. If I lose the path after becoming powerful, no one will acknowledge me. I want to become someone who can fight for others."
"So you want to become a warrior or Faris??"
" I want to become a protector."
"Hmm… then I will make you stronger, and I will wait for the day when you surpass the hatred and are acknowledged by everyone."
" Really!!"
He takes his hand in Bond's chest and said release and Bond's sences comes back.
"Bond!! thank God you are okay."
"Ummmm….. what's happened???"
We all headed toward Joyful, in the road I explained what happened before.
In the Joyful, everyone is in shock. They all looking at us.
"Aaaahaahaa….. It's been a while glasses."
That man called Lord glasses, like they know each other.
"What are you doing here. Did the barrier not work????" Lord is full on shock.
"Well well…. this is not acceptable from Lord of Joyful. I think we need to talk in private."
"He… mister, what is your name? And when you will going to train me ????"
"A small kid, but lack of patience and manners. Well, my name is Chiron. And about being your master, it's depends on your school performance, until you are free from here I will not going to train you."
"What!!!!!!"
"Now now get lost. I have more important things to do."
.....
[ In Lord's office]
"I know you have the information about Bright from that scum seller."
"I was away at that time, and when I came back, he told me about those kids. He had noticed that mark on his hand, so I thought I should meet those kids."
"That bastard,!!"
"You watched him suffer but still refuse to protect him. I didn't expect this from you. I thought you hate him, but still protect him because of that promise, but I was wrong."
"What do you want??"
"From now on, you will going to protect both of them. Until they are eligible for the academy. And if anyone trying to hurt them I will going to erase them all including you."
"Are you threatening me!!??"
"No, it's a promise and you know I full fill my promise no matter what it takes."
[ Chiron leaves the place. The storm finally gone. A new day will coming with full of new adventures. ]
