Chapter 4
"What's wrong, hon". She asked, puzzled.
" Oh,Err, nothing. I'm just tired from walking ",I lied.
" O-Kay. Anyway, Did you make it? ",She asked. I knew she was talking about the exams So I turned to my bag and handed her the envelop.
" Congrats, again", said my mother when I handed the envelop to her.
"Oh, and mum..." I said quickly after remembering something.
" Yes, dear? " She answered back.
"I'll not be going to school tomorrow". I told her.
"Sure. We can go for a family trip then. I'll call your siblings tomorrow for them to be aware".she remarked.
" Urgh, fine", I said while going upstairs to my room.
Finally, I'm not going to school.I can stay home, and think about my miserable life. I laid down on my bed with my hands supporting my head. I started to recount the man I met who called himself a "spirit warrior". Pfft what a joke.... But his skill though. Thinking of him made me remember the stupid deal I made with that disgraceful guardian. I hadn't even tried to use my abilities in this world yet. I didn't even know how much time I had left. As I kept on thinking and thinking, I soon doze off.
"Hehehe"
"Hahahaha"
I could hear laughter all over the place which forced me to open my eyes. When I did, I was in a different environment. This wasn't my room, this was
"Where am I, I asked myself.
The sky was black with a red moon and the place was Rocky and sandy. I looked around but could see nothing.
The laughter continued, forcing me to ask, "Who's there"
Suddenly, I could see a dark figure, which looked like it was shapes.h.i.+fting.
"Oh, you can see me can't you",asked the dark figure.
" Umm. Yeah, but not clearly",answered I
"Good, Very Good",It said
"May I know where I am", I asked, eager for an answer".
"Oh, that's not necessary. The reason why you are here is necessary". It replied.
As soon as that was said, we were sent to a different place
There, a sword was embedded into the ground, and had a strange aura around it.
The dark figure then said to me," You awoke me, a very beautiful emotion awoke me in your fight. And if you continue to use it you can become strong as you desire. But, just be careful, I might take over".
Hearing this I was hesitant for some while, but it was power I needed after all.
"What do I have to do". I asked
" Just pull out the sword". It replied.
The laughter then continued again. I then went to the sword and held it by its hilt and tried pulling it. It was easier than I expected. As soon as I pulled it out, the laughter became louder, and it echoed all over.
I turned the sword and it had some weird saying on its surface. As curious as I was I read it out. "Embrace the power, embrace the darkness. Any one who welds the sword is doomed to be something else. Feel the surge of power in you and love what has become of you".
After I said this, I froze with my eyes blackened. I could feel the aura and power from the sword entering me. Soon I was levitating in the air with sand, dust and rocks surrounding me
From a distance I could hear the continuous laughter from that dark figure. It then said, "Embrace it, Embrace what will become of you!!" It echoed everywhere.
I woke up. Back in my room. It was now 6:00am in the morning. I got up from bed to go wash my face.
To my surprise, there was this mysterious mark on my forehead. Shocked, I went back, but I tripped over. Lifting my hands, I saw another mark on my left hand
"What is going on" I asked myself.
All of a sudden, my pocket became full, with something that felt like a book. Curious what it was, I took it out. It looked like a hand book, but it was green and black, with symbols all over it.
I was really puzzled. Maybe it's from that weird guy I met.
This day will be one of my weirdest days, ever.
