Chapter 24: One Year Later!
"Cursed Child? Who'll dare call my grandson a Cursed Child?!" Jenny was enraged.
"Don't worry, Aaron, The truth will reveal itself when the time is right, All you need to know is, don't let that stop you; your future and life is in your hands." Lucian said.
"Yes, Son. Your father is right." Mingus added.
"Ok." Aaron nodded at them. "If I absorb all your powers and Knowledge. How strong will I get?" He moved his gaze around.
"Both your grandparents are once Supreme Realms, and I'm once a sky realm. Not to mention all of us... I'm guessing you know how strong you'll get after this." Lucian answered him with a smile on his face.
"Ok then, What are we Waiting for? What'll I have to do?"
"Just seat down, Son."
Aaron sat on the ground upon hearing Jenny's word.
All the Demons flew towards him, forming a huge circle with him in the middle.
"This is gonna be a little painful, Son. But you must prevail." Lucian announced, and added: "or else, You'll be lost forever, and we'll remain trap in here."
"I understand."
Aaron closed hie eyes, while Lucian and all the Demons pointed their fingers at him. Dark energy shot out from each of their fingers colliding with Aaron.
"Hmm..."
Aaron gritted his teeth, Not saying a single word... 'He called this "little painful"?'
Aaron sat in the center of the graveyard, absorbing the powers and Knowledge of his ancestors, Unaware of the different in time zone. While he thought he had stayed for only five minutes, in the real world it has been Five Months already. And everyone was worried sick, especially his Mom; Aurora.
"I know I shouldn't have let him absorb it."
She said sitting on the bed with Aaron, who has been in the same sitting position for five months now, and the shocking thing about this was... He's also growing, getting taller with each passing month.
"Don't start crying again, Mom. My baby brother's Sid energy is still active, which mean he's very much alive." Lilly who stood beside her said.
"But it's been five Months." She turned to Lilly, tears threatening to fall.
"Stop it Mom!" Protean walked inside, he was in the Griffin King's appearance. "Stop crying, Nothing will happen to Master, He'll wake up and set things right in the Forest, and this half destroyed village." He shrunk in size and landed on Aaron's bed.
"You are right, Nothing will happen to him, but do know how I feel each day thinking I'll wake up and see his ash on his bed?" She turned to Protean, who remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
"For the last four months, you haven't left his room." Lilly said, and turned to Protean. "How is the territories?"
"Master didn't show up in the meeting, which happened five months ago. So those Monsters took it as an insult, Although none of them invited him, but they all expected him to be there… Not seeing him this long they grew tougher, and started attacking our territories. We can repel them because of Talon and Alter." Protean said in a dark tone.
"We are under attack!!" Chief Egon rushed inside.
"Again?! I'll deal with them." Protean took the form of the Alpha Undead and walked out.
"My Queen, w-we can use your help." Egon said after some hesitation.
"No, I'm staying with my, Son."
He sighed helplessly and nodded at Her, then walked out of the room.
'I wished Emily haven't gone to the academy, I hope she is ok.' He thought.
"Mum?--"
"--You can go and help, Lilly."
Lilly heaved a helpless sigh, and walked out of the room, leaving Aurora with Aaron.
"I'll wait for you, Son." She said in a low voice.
***
[Seven Months later.]
"Come on, Mom! We need to leave! The goblins are too many!!" Lilly rushed inside the room, her body was covered with Monsters' blood.
"This time around, they came with a Cursed Demon. And the Chief is injured, The Archer is also Injured, half of the villagers are Dead..."
Aurora sat lifelessly on the bed, staring at Aaron, she wasn't bothered about anything else, only her Son. For a year now; he hasn't woken up, which broke her...
...This fearsome Warrior was broken because she thought her Son was dead! Lilly grabbed both her Shoulders with both hands. "We need to go, There is news that Zukor, That Bastard king is behind all this... We don't know how he got news of Aaron... Mom! He sent them to kill Aaron, we need to take him somewhere safe."
A glint flashed in Aurora's eyes for a second, she turned to Lilly. "Where can we run to? Your brother isn't waking up anytime soon." She opened her mouth, and said in a low voice.
"But..."
Graaaa!!!!
"They are getting closer! They are already in the village!!" Lilly turned towards the door, gripping her sword tightly.
- Check this room! We must kill that Kid called Aaron.-
A deep voice sounded outside the room, followed by rough footsteps.
BAM!
The door was kicked open, and five Hobgoblins walked in, all armed with hatchets.
- Here He is! - The first one yelled, seeing Aaron sitting on the bed with his eyes closed.
- Kill!! - Two lunged towards Aaron.
Whoosh!!!
Their heads fell to the ground, followed by their bodies.
"I dare you to touch my, Son." Aurora's eyes were pure black.
"M-Mon?" Lilly was stunned, seeing Aurora's eyes. 'Oh No! She lost control again.'
- Hehehe! You can't stop us! -
- Kill!!! -
Whoosh!!!
In matter of seconds, the remaining three fell on the ground, heads rolling to the side.
Lilly took a step back and stood in front of her brother. 'I wonder how Snow, Protean and Diamond are doing outside.'
- So powerful, I thought there is no good opponent in this small village.-
Aurora and Lilly stared at the Dark elf with red eyes and white hair, who calmly walked inside the room.
"This... This is the Cursed Demon, The leader of the Army!" Lilly took a step back.
- I'm Impressed girl.- The dark elf nodded at her. - I might keep you after this, but first... I need to kill that young man.-
"You aren't getting to him." Aurora gripped her sword tightly.
- I like your Spirit Child, But you are powerless against me. Move out of the way, and I'll spare you.-
"Stop talking and attack, You Bastard!!" Aurora said.
- Hmm... You might have licked the blood of a Demon, There is no other way you can have this amount of powers. But even with your boost in strength, You aren't a match for me.-
__
While In the other side, 97 ghosts have vanished, remaining three.
"Should we continue?" Mingus asked worriedly.
"He can do it, he had absorbed 97 powers and knowledge, he can also absorb ours." Jenny said with a proud smile.
Seeing the two nod, she infused her powers in Aaron. "I'm giving you the ability to heal, regenerate, And you'll be the next Blood absorber." Her eyes glowed red, all her powers and knowledge flew towards Aaron, entering his body.
Aaron only frowned for a second, then smirked.
"He likes it." Mingus smiled and pointed his finger at Aaron. "I'll give you the wisdom of a king, the power to always make the right decision and know the heart of your enemies... I'm also giving you my Hydra and powers, You have made me proud."
Aaron's smirk widened:
Lucian smiled and pointed his finger at Aaron. "My son, As your father... I'm giving you the ability of space, and death. I'm giving you all the powers to manipulate space... You'll gain all my combats skills and knowledge in life. I'm also giving you my enchanted Ring, Use it well."
After some Seconds, the three turned Into smokes and flew towards Aaron, entering him.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
A huge explosion sounded, shattering all the surrounding tombstones, A hurricane formed with the surrounding energies, it grew in size almost reaching the night sky.
____
BANG!
Aurora smashed on the other side of the room, throwing up a mouthful of blood.
- How many times do you want me to say this? You can't win me.-
"I'm not fighting for myself, but for my Son." Aurora stood up with difficulty.
- fine then, I'll just have to kill you.-
The Dark elf shook his head and shot towards her in full speed, which caught Aurora off guard.
- I'll see how you'll protect your Son if you are dead! -
"MUM!!!" Lilly, who was on the ground yelled in Horror.
BAM!!!!
The Dark elf froze, he looked at the side, seeing a young man looking around 12 years old, holding his hand. The shocking thing was, he couldn't feel this kid's Strength... And...
- Let Me Go!! - He yelled.
"Aaron?" Aurora was stunned.
"Baby brother!" Lilly sighed in relief, and fainted the next moment. The blow she received from the Dark Elf wasn't a joke.
"You... Dare.... Attack... My... Family..." His eyes turned completely red.
"I hope you are ready for the consequences!" His tone made the elf felt a chill down his spine.
