Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 6 I Need Power 2...
Since Devil Energy and Demon energy were out of the question, it was time to look into other sources. The next was Elemental. As the name implied, it was a form of energy that helped in the manipulation of nature's elements.
This kind of energy was attributed to the people of the land. Commonly known as elves. Cultivating this energy required one to have a connection at a foundational level to the elements. For most if not all, this kind of energy could not be faked. In fact, copying it was nearly impossible. It was a gift freely given from birth.
No one knew about the Mc in the book more than Chiron. He knew that he did not have elemental energy from birth. There was also another major issue.
It was normal for people to assume that Demons and Devils were evil. However, no tribe in the whole world was more hated than elves. A thousand years ago, they caused the first world war.
It was brutal, and although they lost that war, demons were tagged to be of a much kinder variety than them.
With these issues in place, Elemental Energy was now out of the question. And then there was magic. This energy was one that even the MC of the book never really dived into. Although he had encounters with different magicians, their ways were always elusive, and the secrets to their powers were heavily guarded.
Chiron sighed as he crossed out Magic. At this rate, he might really not give a damn about the consequences and just try summoning a demon. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
The last energy was Aura. Aura had similarities to Spirit, and maybe at a foundation, they were nearly alike. However, Aura unlike spirit was an extension of one's mind. Its major limiter was probably the ability to expand one's mind Horizon and imagination for it.
Chiron smiled, "Yes! This is the one. This is what I can start with." However, he suddenly remembered the requirements for Aura formation and he frowned.
Aura, as far as he knew, was only awakened from parent to child. It required an intense emotion to manifest and truth be told, Chiron was not at the moment in a position to acquire Aura from his father. And that was even if his father knew how to.
His head started to ache again and he slumped on the floor, thinking hard about possible solutions. After some minutes of silence, he heard his sliding door open slightly.
At first, he thought it was his father again. However, he discovered the tiny frame of a person sneaking into his room. Usually, she was supposed to be sleeping at this hour, but the mind of the young was always filled with the desire to explore.
Nora gently entered the room. She could see her big brother on the floor, however, she did not try to disturb him at all. Instead, she took the paintbrush she had left in his room that was now by his side. She turned to leave, but seeing her brother on the cold hard ground touched her little tender heart.
She went to his bed and pulled the sheets down with much difficulty. Then she covered Chiron with the sheets before leaving the room and closing the door as she did.
The moment she left, Chiron that was pretending to be asleep immediately opened his eyes. An evil smile stained the corner of his lips.
Aura had to be activated by someone with intense emotion for the person. There were many types of emotions, but the purest of them all were Love and Hatred.
Chiron suddenly remembered two things. The first was that the MC of the book was very close to his younger sister, showing her so much affection until that particular tragedy took her life.
The second thing he remembered was an old forbidden ritual on acquiring Aura. It was invented as a worse case scenario . In this situation, if Aura could not be unlocked, a family member of less value could be used. The only condition was that the family member must also have intense emotions for the other person.
Of course, this method meant taking the person's life in a brutal sacrifice.
Chiron stood up and moved the sheets from his body. At this point, he could not sleep. There was just so much he needed to do. There were a lot of herbs and materials that needed to be gathered to achieve this. He also needed to at least be of a certain age with a strong body that can withstand the Sacrificial process. And lastly, he needed to stair up loving emotions in his younger sister.
Fortunately, the clan Sat on a rich supply of medicinal herbs he could use, although he had to be sure and identify them first. Being a loving brother was not very hard to do. Pleasing little girls was quite easy. A gift here and show of affection there were all the tricks he required.
The major problem was first building his body and reaching the age requirement for Aura activation. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
The age requirement was seven years of age. Although it sounded nice and easy, it was actually not so. This meant that he would have to still live a terrible life till he was seven years old.
Chiron sighed heavily. He knew deep down that these two years were going to be a pain-filled one. There was also the problem of adversities coming his way as a result of the small change in Fate he had made.
This was probably the real dagger dangling over his head. After nearly dying, he knew more than anyone that the butterfly effect should definitely not be underestimated.
His body did not have enough strength, but that was not going to stop him. He dragged himself off the ground, walked to the door, pushed it open, and stepped out.
"Ha! It's a cold-windy night," he smiled, "its perfect."
....
In the early hours of the morning, Aleen could not take it anymore. He had finally decided not to go through with killing his son but the guilt of having to even think about it, and attempt it, made his night sleepless.
He heard a small commotion outside the house and went to check what it was. To his surprise, he saw his son, Chiron-pulling along a pile of boulders wrapped together with his bedsheets.
For a grown man like him, those boulders would have been a piece of cake to move. However, this was a different matter for a five-year-old. It was like Aleen trying to move a ton which was about 900 Kilograms. That was a lot of weight for one to move without the use of spirit energy.
But to his surprise, Chiron was doing it relentlessly, and one small step at a time.
From the tightening of his tiny muscles, Aleen could see the extent of difficulty that was being put into this. It was so bad that little drops of blood leaked out from Chiron's grip on the bedsheet. But that was not all. Aleen was observant and could also see that drops of blood had stained the lower part of Chiron's garment. It was obviously from his crouch area.
This was not a workload a boy that had just been circumcised should be engaging in. Aleen wanted to intervene however, the determined look he saw in the young boy's eyes reminded him of the same look a beast had when it was hungry...
