《Sorrow Dayz》


 Chapter 1- The 7 Deadly Witches

    Long Ago in the 1500''s there used to be a mobilization of witches. They were formed together to protect the people of Restaria.


    Furthermore it was over 20 witches within the radicalized group, all of them ran from Restaria.


    All except Seven they stayed as a united front to protect their town from the demons who rose through the night in the air. Nevertheless after the bloody war the witches'' bodies were never found. Also their nemesis were left on the ground to see.


    The whole town saw what happened but no one could believe it. Years, Centuries later as time grew and decades past. The witches tale became a folklore they started becoming bed time stories, pictographs, ideas for movie directors. Along the older generations it brought back nostalgia of what their town stood for.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Unfortunately it was forbidden to talk about that day in history. Many were persecuted and tried for execution in suspicion of witchcraft. It was a band of adults who formed together to make their own refugee. The children were forced into refugee. While the others underwent a lot of test and observations. Later the Panchayat of new members led the others else where and returned to Restaria, every week.


    Until one day when the Panchayat were on there way back in, and the first member walked through the gates and his ears started bleeding. Thus he became irate becoming very hesitant with his members. No one knew what was going on neighbors, store owners, town medics. Started rushing out to see what was happening. No one could understand then the man rolled up his shirt there it was on his chest.


    A massive seven covering his chest he turned and looked at his fellow members at the gate. All of sudden he was on fire it started at his feet going up by the time the fire reached his chest, it was blue. Without a doubt it was unbearable, when it reached his head the fire was purple. His skin had started falling off of his body with unspeakable horrors.


    On that horrific day no one was ever able to speak of that day again. It became a crime against the town on a better note those witches were known as the 7 Deadly Witches¡­

 Chapter 2- Serenual: A New Beginning

    // It is the year of 2077 and in Restaria a lot of things have changed there is no longer a Panchayat.


    Kids were brought back to Serenual, Restaria was renamed in 2020. Now in the paramount times the adults make their young and developing go to the school of arts. Ever since that night something wasn¡¯t right about the essence in the air.


    Whatever it was it did not affect the adults or the Panchayat, only the kids. As time transpired symptoms would begin to show their tail, the young were passing out, having seizures, vomiting, fevers rising, and some we could not even begin to understand what was happening.


    A child that was one of the elders, the elder who was a renown miracle worker had gotten very indisposed. The elder Yakeen Yoku tried everything, but still nothing would work. Days had passed and his son still was unconscious. Weeks had started passing and everyone was thinking the worse except Yakeen. He did not want to give up on his son he wanted to fight.


    Rest assured Yakeen started blaming himself, ironically he is the miracle worker of the village, but he couldn¡¯t stop other kids from bullying him when he needed his miracles. Yakeen could not provide even simple hope, for even his one and only son. Not only but also months started passing and Yuuta his son started becoming more than pale, fragile, reaking of death, and his face skin becoming wrinkled. Eventually it was a year, and Yakeen had to move Yuuta out of the sanatorium.


    It took him weeks but Yakeen was working diligently and hard thus creating a sarcophagus for his son. They put him inside hours later pronounced him dead to the village.


    Everyone was so depressed the bullies, the thieves, the elders, and etc. A week had passed after burying his son the village showed Yakeen more than amenity. He would pray every night to Hushur that was the God everyone looked up to in the village.


    Uniquely that he was of legend that he died an became a god.


    During the night a bright star could be seen shining in the sky it was not white it was sapphire. The burial ground was foggy and you could hear rubble being made from graves being stepped on, moved, or destroyed. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    Yakeen ran to the burial grounds with a lot of villagers walking behind him. The gates were ripped apart and the seal on his sons¡¯ burial ground was gone as if no one was marked or sealed there. All of a sudden the sapphire is gone and Yakeen drops to his knees, and the villagers try to comfort him, they manage to get him in the courtyard and then they begin to all talk about what just happened.


    The tears flooding down his face Yakeen walks home and he¡¯s so furious he walks and trips over a stone falling on his stomach nearly hitting his head on the doorstep. He kicks the doorstep and barely making it up the steps crying and mentally exhausted. He begins to close the door as that Sapphire star arises again so bright this time burning the eyes and blinding everyone in the village.


    Except Yakeen, he drunk a special remedy he made in case something were to ever happen like this. The sapphire star rose in the sky far as it could go and its like blue dust was falling from it or crystals maybe a mix of both. Then all of a sudden there it was a loud thundering noise deafening everyone including Yakeen.


    The sapphire star exploded then a dark blue foggy mist started appearing over the burial grounds, as he was about to take there again. A fellow villager stopped him, there it was his son¡¯s sarcophagus rising in the sky like the crystal he elbowed the villager in the chin Yakeen ran, ran, as fast as he could to stop it. Nevertheless he couldn¡¯t and his son¡¯s sarcophagus was turning bright just like the sapphire.


    A glowing bright smoky aura around it Yakeen crying begging Hushur not take his sons¡¯ body. "You can have his soul but leave his body please Hushur!" Yakeen exclaimed. Then out of nowhere Purple flames alight to the sarcophagus thus beginning to disintegrate it.


    The villagers couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing it was unbelievable. Piece by piece the sarcophagus was being eaten alive by the flames.


    Until it was nothing left but ash, and dust also the ash and dust were white. After Yakeen was drug back to the courtyard where they discussed it. He didn¡¯t say a word but just looked at his hand where there was little of that white ash still on the palm of his hand. After a couple of hours of talking the villagers were tired they all went in Yakeen on the other hand stayed up outside in the same spot all night until morning. He finally gathered up the vitality to go back home.


    As he was almost home he saw what looked like to be Gold footprints. He was wary about going inside he took a look around his home, everything else was normal. He walked in looked around checked every room all clear he thought in his mind. Maybe its just me he said to himself.


    He began to lay down in his bed and started closing his eyes. He was almost sleep then he heard something he got up and checked everything looked outside, still nothing new. The same nonsense he kept thinking in his mind what is wrong with me what is going on. Then he looked at his sons¡¯ door knob he felt like someone was watching him through it.


    Trembling with fear he walked closer and closer not knowing what lied behind that door. He opened it slowly and checked thoroughly closet, drawers, washroom, and all. As he was done with the closet he closed the door, and then the power went out.

 Chapter 3- The Miracle

    He felt a ice cold sharp breeze of a touch behind him. Yakeen turned around and there he was dirt all over his face still wrinkled, pale, and reaking of death. Of course it was Yuuta.


    Then Yakeen grabbed Yuuta on his shoulder, and tried to talk to him, but before he could. Something extraordinary happened Yuuta looked at his father and dropped his head.


    Yakeen was trying to ask him. "What is wrong son?" Then as Yakeen looked his son had tears running down his face. Yakeen couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing, they were like small crystals falling from his eyes down his cheek.


    Then they shined brightly and started changing from crystal to this mist form. The tears were gone Yakeen then tried asking Yuuta. "Are you alright?" While putting his hand across his head feeling for a fever or something.


    Yakeen burned his hand scolding it, so bad that his hand turned completely black. So Yakeen ran to the washroom running cold water over his hand trying to stop the burning sensation. Nevertheless it only made it worse his hand was getting hotter and hotter.


    Yakeen couldn¡¯t take it anymore so he stopped, and he looked at Yuuta and his vision started to become faint. Yakeen cried out to him. "Yuuta!" Soon as he did he woke up out of that trance that it seemed like he was in. Unfortunately he saw what was happening to his father but he couldn¡¯t stop it he saw blue flames at the bottom of his father¡¯s feet.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    Crying out. "Father what is going on what is happening?" Yakeen was to far gone to even open his eyes. He could still faintly hear his son¡¯s voice though. Yuuta crying he didn¡¯t know what to do his father fell to the floor and the flames had made their way up to his chest now.


    Beginning to reach his neck Yuuta ran to his father not knowing that the water only made it worse he got a bucket of water and poured it on his father. The flames sped up and overtook his entire body except his eyes. Yakeen¡¯s body was entirely covered basically wrapped with blue flames.


    Begging like it was his final hour Hedoidesu said. "Please please stay with me father don¡¯t leave me here all alone!" So Yuuta got up and started looking for something to help his father. While he was in his father¡¯s room he tripped, fell and hit his shoulder against a dresser.


    Something fell out of it, he picked it up and it said Shinsei. He opened the book onto the first page, and on the side of it had small depicted writing. Yuuta saw the corresponding letters to the writing, he matched it up and it spelled out "Hushur" he said. As soon as he said that not only the room, but the entire house began to feel up with that blue mist type fog.


    Then a light so blinding somehow triggered inside of the house, every villager saw that light. Whether they were laying down or sleep in their dreams. Then everything went pitch dark everyone fainted including Yuuta. Leaving only but a fragment of what happened that night in the mind of Hedoidesu and Yakeen.


    They both woke up beside each other in the morning, as Yuuta wakes up he sees his father is up alright and making him breakfast. He runs and hugs him. "Father your ok!" Yakeen tearfully laughs. "Your worried about me and hugs him?" "How about you are you ok Heishi?" The nickname Yakeen gave his son. "Yes sir." He responds.


    Yakeen wants to ask his son about what happened but he does not want to make things anymore complicated then they already are. So he just settles with having his son back, and then Yuuta says "Father whatever happened last night he saved you." Yakeen asks. "Who?" "You know who father Hushur."


    Yakeen tells Hedoidesu we will finish discussing this later, for now get ready to go outside to the courtyard. Along side Yuuta was Yakeen shouting and telling. "Everyone look what has happened my son is fine I told all of you he would make it, he would survive anything." All of the villagers couldn''t believe what they are seeing.

 Chapter 4- The Return

    All of the children ran up and hugged Yuuta even the bullies. Then one of the elders asked "Yakeen how did this happen, he was pronounced deceased remember?" Then Yakeen told him. "I begged our God to save him and he did."


    "When everyone went in that night and slept after all that had happened at the burial ground." "I told him if he would save him I would sacrifice myself and give him my soul for my son¡¯s." "I haven¡¯t told Yuuta yet elder so please don¡¯t say anything to the others." "Of course you have my word Yakeen and may Heiwa be with you."


    As all the tears of joy flooded down the kids face, it seemed as if a dream to true hit reality. By the time night came everyone started heading back home. Yakeen had made it home with Yuuta he set him down and asked him. ''Yuuta how old are you now?" He responds. "I''m 14."


    "Yes you are your becoming a young man now." "I think you will have a lot of responsibility to deal with now, can you handle it"? Yakeen asked. "Yes sir but are you going somewhere father?" Before he could finish Yakeen interrupted. "Yes I made a promise to our god Yuuta and I cannot break it." "Who Hedoideusu?" asked.


    "In do time you will find out, but for now just take care of the young, and watch over the elders when they are sick Yuuta." "Do you hear me son?" "Yes sir", but before he could ask his question Yakeen had given him one his remedies to make him fall asleep early. Unfortunately Yakeen knew what his task was now, and it could be prolonged no longer. He left the gates of Serenual and entered into the Forest of Han¡¯ei.


    There when he finally made it to the back of the forest, he turned around and didn¡¯t see anything but tree after tree. Then he found a piece of rubble rubbish to sit on. He took out a poison remedy that he made, he starts taking it. Then all of a sudden he starts hearing voices. His vision is completely gone blacked out he can no longer see anything.


    His hearing fading in and out. Then he looks down at his stomach his stomach is glowing bright blue, and he feels a burning sensation. The voices grew louder in his head as Yakeen began to yell. Out of nowhere a hand print showed up on his chest as his chest turned blue. You could easily see the hand print because it was black, then a gust of wind so strong shook the gates open at Serenual. The villagers ran to the gate to close it, Yuuta looked out everyone heard Yakeen¡¯s screams from the forest. Yuuta wanted to run but an elder grabbed him and stopped him. He told him "He went to the forest Yuuta I''m sorry, he¡¯s not coming back."Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Also the forest began to corrode and started picking up wildfire so strong the heat was felt all the way to the back of the village. As they were trying to close the gates they couldn¡¯t it was scorching hot and the fire wouldn¡¯t stop its path was basically lit up to the village.


    The fire passed the gates making its way inside near the villagers including Yuuta. He ran to the back fearing the heat. One of the elders fell over a plant running and the fire was to hot for anyone to turn around and get her. Yuuta ran to her the elder told him "run back." The elder was caught in the flames and they began to burn her, she begged Yuuta  "turn around!"


    He finally reached her and he didn¡¯t know what to do,he tried moving her but she was so hot. Yuuta''s vision began becoming weak as well like before, he felt as if he was going to pass out again. He hit the ground and the villagers all screamed "Noooo elder and Yuuta are stuck we must help them!" Nevertheless everyone was too terrified to help them.


    The elder was tearing up and almost out of breath. She was using her last breath to thank him. Yuuta couldn¡¯t do anything but look at her while the fire began covering her face and he extended his arm to her. Yuuta closed his eyes and begged "Please Hushur save her." Then everyone noticed that his arm turned entirely blue it was so bright that the elder¡¯s eyes were forced open to be blinded by it. Yuuta screamed grab my hand and she pushed with every inch of might she had left.


    She finally reached him and Yuuta grabbed her and then asked another villager "help me pick her up now!" He yelled while shes out of the fire a villager ran and helped. It was astounding the fire was perched right there massively in front of them like it was in a glass mirror no one could feel the heat.


    That¡¯s when Yuuta''s arm started becoming of normal skin tone again. He ran to the gates the heat was beginning to creak back in he turned around and yelled "get back hurry!" The fire burst back in making its way to the villagers. Then all of a sudden an explosion happened and a smoky fog appeared. Everyone looked ahead until it disappeared and the gates was closed.


    There was Yuuta laying on the ground in front of the gates the villagers ran to him and took him to the sanatorium. No one could believe what happened everyone stayed long as they could until they heard the report on Yuuta. The Ishi came out and told everyone that he will survive but he is in critical condition.


    Now everyone go home and try to get some rest, I will return later with an update. The next day had arrived an Yuuta awakened from his injuries all healed and bandaged up. He thanked the ishi and returned home, but before he could every villager thanked him for his bravery and courage.


    Then a girl that seemed of his age  approached him, and said "Hi you saved my grandmother the other night." As she was tearing up as she was trying to tell him my name is "Megumi Ai you saved that elder who was Michiko Ai, I love my grandmother to death thank you again Yuuta."

 Chapter 5- Hushur of Legend

    "See you in school tomorrow!" Megumi said. "OK." Yuuta responded, as she hugged him goodbye. Yuuta went home after saying goodbye to everyone. He tried not to look at anything reminding him of his father. Unfortunately, he stubbed his foot against his father''s door walking past his room.


    All of sudden he heard a thump in his room, he went to check it out. He saw nothing checking everywhere, there it was right on his bed under the covers. The same book he saw in his father''s room that fell out of that dresser that had the depicted writing. Hedoidesu began reading the second page it said "the man of many shapes and forms, but the god of all creatures".


    As Hedoidesu began reading Hushur says "I was in fact human and then became a god, who can take any shape or any form". "Now the creatures serve Hushur and Hushur servers his people, but those who do not respect Hushur will be forsaken." "I am in your dreams, your nightmares, I can reanimate, I can decimate, never the less I can reciprocate." "There are 2 crucial rules you must never break, and 5 rules you must always follow." A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "If you truly honor me you will follow these rules and into your acclamation." "Formed all together these rules are called The 7 Rules of Norowa Remashita."


    "The first rule is if you make a promise to me you must keep it." "No matter what promise, it can be seen through if you hold your end up with me."


    "The outcomes may vary depending on the request you ask me it could end in death, sickness, wealth, destruction, corruption, or prosperity." "The second rule is never call my name in Munashiidesu(vain)." Be sure, focused, and very precise when you call out for me, I am always listening." "I only listen to those who truly believe and have felt my presence, those who have are extremely lucky, and some are extremely unfortunate to have promised me something else."


    "These other five rules you will hear from me in time." "Maybe through your sleep, nightmares, daydreams, or even injuries." "You will know in due time just remember I am always near, to those who are truly measured by fear." Yuuta feeling shaken by what he had read, he rushed and put the book back in his father''s dresser.


    "So this is what my father knew of him, did he know him?" "I want to get to the bottom of this but not now one day." "For now I must get some rest and go to sleep."

 Chapter 6- The First Day of School

    As the next morning arose Yuuta got up and began getting ready for school. On his way he meets Megumi, "hi she says how are you doing after last night Yu-Yu?" As she laughs "that¡¯s the nickname I''m going to give you as of now, don¡¯t know if you like it, but you have no choice but to accept it."


    With a huge smile on her face blushing Yuuta said "OK." Finally they make it to class as the beginning of school starts back. Megumi asked "who are you staying with now Yu-Yu?" "I¡¯m staying by myself I am old enough now, I can take care of myself" feeling his gut drop as he said that. Yuuta felt miserable without his father like it was his fault somehow. Megumi hugged him from her seat "aww I can keep you company every now and then, don¡¯t worry for what you did Yuuta I owe you that, even if you don¡¯t want my company."


    "You forgot to call me Yu-Yu laughingly." Yuuta said.  "Shut up" as she grabbed his shoulder and gave him a stern hit there. "Excuse me mister um¡­ what is your name boy that is making all of that fuss?" "Yuuta Yoku¡¯'''' " oh.. it¡¯s you the one who saved the village your him." "It was nothing"


    "it was act of bravery, a miracle, something that cannot be forgotten." "Well Yuuta the school of arts is usually for students that have abilities in creating remedies, medicine, or some unique skill of art." "Many have came and passed through this class with many flying colors."


    "Your father was a student here, as well as your grandmother Megumi." "We reopened this school for a reason though it was for abilities that were non human after that tragic fateful night." "An it seems you are the first of what seems to be the Wakai." If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    "Well enough chit chat lets get into class, anyone who has been signed up for this class." "Has or have been showing signs of becoming Wakai those of the Wakai are those show gifted abilities above all the other young." "Yuuta here has awakened his gift he just has to find out a way to use it." "By the time class was over Yuuta felt overwhelmed by everything he had heard in class." "Hey Yu-Yu I''ll see you later", "OK" Megumi while walking to the Escoolur(food bar).


    Yuuta saw kids picking on Megumi pushing calling her out of her name. Yuuta walked over "hey, what are you guys doing?" "Shut up one of the kids" said and knocked him in the back of the head to the ground. "Yu-Yu!" Kansha cried out. "I''m fine" as one of the kids slapped her in the back of the head and said "shut up weirdo you don¡¯t belong here."


    Then another kid from the back picked up a huge piece of a rock as the crowd began they started egging the kid on "throw it" "throw it throw it." "Hurry Kenta before a teacher comes", as he threw that piece of rubble began spiraling out of control towards Megumi. Yuuta closed his eyes and begged Hushur "PLEASE", there it was somehow Yuuta traded places with Kansha and she was in his spot safe from that rubble.


    Therefore Yuuta saw it coming and caught it before it hit him. Megumi yelled "Yuuta look out!" "Huh"Yuuta replied. "Hey hot shot!"As Kenta kicked Yuuta in his stomach "Yu-Yu" Megumi cried out. Yuuta got up again and Kenta kicked him again. Yuuta kept getting up, and knocked down, "I wont give up!" He said. Bleeding from his mouth, he tells Megumi "don¡¯t worry I''ll beat him up for you." Crying "stop it your going to seriously injure him or kill him enough." "Shut up!" Kenta said as he stands over Yuuta "are you going to give up now?"


    "No" he said, "but you should" as he spits in his face, Kenta becames furious and began kicking him very excessively. Then he said "any last remarks?" as his shoes are above his head. "Yea you need a bath you reak of deddo sakanathe" the entire crowd burst out into laughter. Then Kenta had heard enough he raised his foot and then bam¡­Everyone surprised scared no one could talk, move, or barely breath.

 Chapter 7- The Beloved: Megumi Ai

    Not even Yuuta could believe it Megumi was there holding Kenta¡¯s foot in the air. As she was crying her voice changed a little bit "its time for you to go noww" she said.


    Her hair changed colors her hair was naturally blue, it changed to pink. Her left arm was completely skeletal and her body was wrapped in this pink glowing aura. Still holding Kenta¡¯s foot "I don¡¯t ever want to see you outside of class again." "Do you hear me"


    "yes yess I do please let go." Kenta pleaded.  When she let go some of his shoe tore off into her hand. As she slowly looked up and still in rage, she said "Leave now." Everyone scattered except 2 people, "what are you doing here didn¡¯t I say leave?" "Yes" as they were startled we''re sorry this happened to him, we didn¡¯t like it, but we were to afraid to do anything." "My name is Tasyoukee, and my name is Enjo were can help you get him home if you would like, and let us help."


    "No leave its ok." "Megumi let them help", "fine but only for you Yuuta." "Tasyoukee you grab his legs, and Enjo you grab his arms." As they finally stand him up Megumi¡¯s hair began changing back to normal color and arm was transforming back to normal slowly. Yuuta asked "what was that?"


    She tells him "don¡¯t worry about it we¡¯ll talk about it later when you get done resting and, healing." "Where are we going?" Yuuta asked. "You¡¯re going to the sanatorium to get your injuries bandaged." She replied. As they check Yuuta in the three stay out and talk for a while. "OK I¡¯m back, where to now?" Yuuta asked. "let¡¯s go to my home, I have some tea I can give you to help you feel better."


    "Its my grandmother¡¯s recipe she makes tea for most of the elders." Standing behind awkwardly "you guys can come to" laughingly she said. "Thanks, Megumi" as they get there, Hedoidesu said "your grandmother has some fine decorations, and fortune" laughingly. "Shut up she is old fashioned, sit down I''m going to make us all some tea." "So your name is Hedoidesu is it you¡¯re the one who not only saved the elder, but the entire village from burning." "Also the person who was supposedly dead and brought back to life?"


    "Yes that¡¯s me, so how does it feel being the first of us you know the Wakai?" "It¡¯s really not that big of a deal to me." "Are you kidding you¡¯re the first to access your art Hedoidesu" Enjo says. "Let him rest he needs it" Tasyoukee says," ok boys are you ready for your tea?" "Yes" "ok here you guys go" Megumi holds Yuuta¡¯s head back and gave him some tea. "Yum that is some very good tea Megumi" then everyone bursts out laughing.


    "Shut up" "no seriously that is some good tea", "yes it Megumi as all three of them told her." "Yu-Yu" Megumi said as he begun falling asleep she lays his head down on the pillow. "So Megumi are you and Yuuta are like a couple?" Tasyoukee asks. "No" Megumi said "we are friends, he saved my grandmother the other night when that tragedy occurred." The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    "When all seemed lost he rose up from the crowd and saved her." "That¡¯s when I met Yuuta I was very honored to meet him, it was not only brave what he did, but courageous." Enjo asked "so have you been to his home and met his parents?" "No that mysterious man, the elder that walked into the Forest of Han¡¯ei that night was Yuuta¡¯s father." "What!?" Enjo said and "he knows that?"


    "Yes" Megumi replies "I''m going to always be here if he needs to talk about it." "Me too" Tasyoukee said, "me three" Enjo said." So your grandmother is a elder here in the village?" "Yes you guys may know her as is Michiko Ai, but she goes by The Great Supika in this village." "Of, course she¡¯s known as Michiko Ai in the other villages."


    "Wait its other villages?" "Yes, your parents haven¡¯t taught you guys that yet?" "No, they haven¡¯t oh wow!" Megumi exclaims. "So you have 3 villages, that are to my knowledge." "The Village of Divinity, Those, who are from that village, believe to possess the power to become a god." "Legend has a man named Hushur was from that village but died saving that village on the front line."


    "Next the Village of Thaumaturgy, those who are in that village, believe in the power of magic and that they can do miracles." "It is a great lore that can be told during any night that 20 witches ran from Serenual all but 7." "When they were needed the most those 7 stayed behind and fought demons, from Jigoku(Hell)." "There were thousands of them, they were badly injured, but they never ran they killed every single demon."


    "In the aftermath the Lore was believed so much that they put in trials, for people to pass to detect if they were a witch." "Those who did not pass were persecuted, may have been killed." "Many were persecuted for a long time." "Then one day a man was not only maliciously, but viciously killed." "It was like a slaughter in front of all the villages to see." "That villager did not survive that night and he was an innocent man", supposedly. "It was said that the witches came back to punish all those who persecuted innocent people."


    "Also, any sisters that they could¡¯ve had were probably killed because they were a witch." "The lore has is that was a warning, if anything else were to occur like that again, their presence, and wrath would truly be felt."


    "Finally ours The Village of Sorrow." "We were not officially a village but after that night of the witches return." "You had those who could not stop grieving and those who were very troubled from every village."


    "So those in charge took them and gave them some land, space, and food to create their own village." "It became The Village of Sorrow." "Those who are from this village, believe to access great power, now it is considered raw art in time of a very dire need." "Yuuta one day will be that legend for the Wakai."


    Then Yuuta woke up "woah guys, how long have I been out for?" "For a while" Megumi said, "we''re just talking to each other about legends of Serenual." "Oh OK, guess I better get home then", "do you need me to come with you." Megumi asked. "No, I''ll be fine don¡¯t you guys worry about me I¡¯ll see you guys at school tomorrow."


    "OK" everyone replied, "I guess we¡¯ll be heading home too Megumi" Tasyoukee said. "Speak for yourself dude do you not see how hot she is" trying to whisper to Tasyoukee, "um I can hear you." "You do know that right Enjo?" "Ohhh ok yea I think I¡¯ll be heading home now." "See you guys at school tomorrow." Enjo said. "OK bye." Laughingly "where did you two become friends Tasyoukee?"


    "Who Enjo and me we go way back we practically grew up together." "Of course, that¡¯s a story for another time see you later Megumi." "OK see you at school tomorrow Tasyoukee", the next morning came. Everyone arrived to class "good morning class in case you weren¡¯t paying attention on the first day of school my name is Salul Howkuu I am your teacher for this semester."

 Chapter 8- The Five Triggering Affects

    "Today we will discuss what triggers your art, is it rage, pain, love, hate, or sorrow." "I bring this up because I did hear about the commotion near the escoolur yesterday." "Also, that you Kansha were the one that broke it up is that true?" "Yes sir", "now Megumi what was that art that you used to break up the fight?"


    "Um I don¡¯t know Mr. Howkuu." "Do you think you could do it now if you tried Megumi?" "No sir." "Come up here to the front of the class, OK now let¡¯s try the five triggering affects, until we see which one works." "OK let¡¯s try love is there anyone you love in this class?" Blushing Megumi said "No." "Are you sure Megumi your blushing?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I¡¯m sure Mr. Howkuu." "OK so you wouldn¡¯t have a problem if I said another girl from this class liked Yuuta Ms. Ai?"


    "No I wouldn¡¯t" she replied "OK, so let¡¯s try hate is there someone you hate here in this village Megumi?" "No I could never hate anybody, but it is someone I strongly dislike." "OK so that¡¯s not it, let me try rage, how would you feel if the person who attacked you and Yuuta yesterday was here now attacking him again?"


    "Stop I don¡¯t want to think about that." "C¡¯mon Megumi think the person who attacked him is here now, and attacking him again and again until he has blood running from his mouth." I said "STOPPP" as her voiced changed everyone was so shocked. Her hair began changing colors from blue to pink with white tips at the end of hair. Then her left arm began unwrapping her skin like tissue and it became skeletal. Still afraid to talk everyone just watched as she walked forward and forward towards Mr. Howkuu.


    She said "is this what you wanted to see all along, ill show you rage." She raised back her left arm she began to lunge at him. Yuuta cried out "DON''T." Then her hair changed back, her arm, and she couldn¡¯t believe that she was about to attack her teacher. "Thank you Hedoidesu" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed!Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    "See class her art is triggered by rage, now Yuuta you come up." Megumi said "no you don¡¯t have to", "it¡¯ll be fine Megumi besides you, Tasyoukee, and Enjo are here to help me if I need it." "OK" she replied "Yuuta is there someone here you love?" "No but there is someone I like" as he blushed.


    "OK it¡¯s not love, is there anyone here you hate Yuuta?" "No certainly not." He responded. "Um what about someone who makes you feel of rage like someone did to Megumi?" "No" Yuuta replied, "maybe you feel full of sorrow most of the time?" "No, I¡¯m pretty mellowed out most of the time." "So, it must be pain, you overcome pain with your art." "No when I got injured pain did not save me", "THAT''S RIGHT" Megumi exclaimed!


    "You make taker your seat Yuuta I don¡¯t know what your art is or, how it has awoken." "I just hope that it is art, so that you can learn to control it one day, you as well Kansha." Mr. Howkuu said. "Class is dismissed for today, see you all again tomorrow" he said. "Hey, Yu-Yu so is it true?" "Is what true he asked?" "That your art requires none of the triggering affects to activate it?" "I don¡¯t know, I can¡¯t activate it anytime I want."


    "Hmm that¡¯s strange, indeed it is" as Tasyoukee catches up, "WAIT UP FOR ME YOU GUYS", Enjo yells." Where are we going today you guys?" "Let¡¯s stop by the Escoolur I¡¯m hungry." Yuuta said. "Fine" Megumi said. They arrive at the Escoolur, and there they saw Kenta. He turned around and saw the four of them.


    "I¡¯m about to leave to go to another Escoolur, I¡¯m sorry for running into you guys." "Wow you really scared him away Megumi." As he¡¯s walking away you can hear Kenta talking to himself asking, "what have I done to be treated this way please, forgive me, I am sorry, I won¡¯t let this happen again." Then he started whispering to himself very slow and then fell to his knees. Megumi said "who is he asking forgiveness from, and who is sorry to?"


    "I am going to ask" "NO", Yuuta exclaimed as he interrupted her. "He owes you an apology Yu-Yu I¡¯m going to get it", "NO it''s OK Megumi let it go, he¡¯s obviously unstable right now." "Forget it I¡¯m going to get that apology Yuuta, just watch."

 Chapter 9- The Troubled Kenta!

    "SORROW", "what?" SORROW", "what is that you Hushur?" Then it hit Yuuta in a flashback, Mr. Howkuu said "one the five triggering affects could be Rage, Love, Hate, Pain, or Sorrow." Out of nowhere Yuuta screamed "Megumi don¡¯t", but he was too late.


    She was already by him she tapped Kenta¡¯s shoulder. Then she pulled on his left shoulder and turned him around, "what is your problem?" "You owe my friend Yu-Yu an apology, and I won¡¯t leave until he gets it!" "You think I him an apology." he said. On his knees, he looked at Megumi, "out of all things, that¡¯s what you decide to open your mouth and tell me."


    The ground began to shake, Enjo from a distance asked "what the heck is going on?" Kenta¡¯s shoulders began going back and forward like he was inhaling and exhaling. He then started exhaling like he couldn¡¯t breathe, then came screaming so loud. That everyone in the village started to come outside. "Here comes Mr. Howkuu" Tasyoukee said, "hey what is going on?"


    "It¡¯s sorrow Mr. Howkuu"¡­ "Wait, is that the kid that beat you up, Yuuta?" "Yes, sir why?" "That is Kenta Baska", "you know of him Mr. Howkuu?" "Yes, I expelled him from my class when he tried to bully a student in my class." "He lost his eldest brother yesterday, he died in his sleep."


    "We have no time to talk about this right now, we must help Megumi" Enjo said. "Yes, your right, but long story short." "His family was also of legend for generations, in that family there were those who were cursed from the dead." "Now when someone dies in that family the curse is not only passed on to the next person." "It also takes pieces of what¡¯s in reality and what¡¯s not." "Therefore, making the cursed lose their mind slowly, and disintegrate."


    Kenta¡¯s scream got desperately louder, and interrupted Mr. Howkuu "now you three go help her." "Us three." Enjo said, "but Tasyoukee and I have no art." "Speak for yourself no matter what I will help" Tasyoukee said. "Fine let¡¯s go" Enjo said. As they arrived behind Megumi Yuuta told her "to back up", but she¡¯s stood still like she was frozen scared. So Yuuta walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder, she didn''t respond. So, he turned her around "Megumi what are you doing?" All she could do was turn and move her mouth to breath, Hedoidesu was trying to make out what she was trying to say.


    It looked like she asked for help, he said "OK Megumi were going to stop him then get you out of this trance." The ground began shaking again knocking everyone to the ground except Megunmi like she was froze. Kenta then began to get up. His hair grew very much longer. It was also this very creepy aura around him it was dominantly black and purple. Then he got up and when he turned around the right side of his face was jolting. "You got to be kidding me" Tasyoukee said. "There it is that¡¯s his art, were all going to die" Enjo said.


    Kenta slowly opened his eyes, there it was his right eye jolting as well. Impressively changed as well, it was lines going straight across his eye like it was trying to reach his other eye. They were black and red, while that was happening Mr. Howkuu quickly ran to Kansha and tried moving her out of the way. Failing to realize that Kenta was still very much adapt to his surroundings. He looked at Mr. Howkuu and with that eye he set him on fire.


    Everyone Exclaimed "Mr. Howkuu!" One of the elders ran and got a bucket of water and he through it on Mr. Howkuu. "Thank you elder", he nodded his head your welcome. Mr. Howkuu looked down his leg was still being burned with no flames, he couldn¡¯t see the burning anymore, but his skin was turning colors like he was still being burned. He just told them "you must stop him, and it will stop the effect." Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    So then Yuuta ran up to Kenta and hit him in his face. Everyone heard a huge popping, and shocking sound. His hand was mangled, his knuckles were busted. Everyone let out a deep sigh no one could believe it. The first of the Wakai to activate his art couldn¡¯t faze Kenta. He then tried a kick to his stomach, knowing Kenta is much taller than him. It did nothing to faze him, Kenta then took Hedoidesu¡¯s leg and held it in his arm. Then he kicked Yuuta in his side so hard, that flew into the Escoolur through the windows. Of course, then Tasyoukee, and Enjo ran in, but then Kenta started running through the air.


    Not flying, but he was floating and running at the same time it was indescribable. While running he turned and looked at Tasyoukee and Enjo he squinted, then his eye popped back wide open. They both flew back into another building. He then targeted Hedoidesu, he saw what Kenta was doing, and that he was coming for him next.


    So Yuuta closed his eyes and said "please Hushur give me strength please." Boom Kenta punched him in his gut and Yuuta coughed up blood so much of it. Kenta kept punching and punching then took his knee and kneed him in the gut through the wall. Nevertheless, he just kept savagely beating Yuuta, while that was happening Tasyoukee and Enjo were deciding on a plan.


    "OK Enjo you distract Kenta while I get Megumi" Tasyoukee said. "Why me?" Enjo asked "ine you get Kansha while I distract Kowaremashita" Tasyoukee said. "OK let¡¯s go" he replied. Enjo makes it over to Megumi unnoticed he started, shaking her. "We need you c¡¯mon Megumi snap out of it."


    He asked one the elders to get him a bucket of water they bring it back cold he, then threw it on her nothing. Meanwhile, "hey freak show how about attacking someone your own size." Knowing he¡¯s not his size Tasyoukee gets his attention, then he throws a rock. Out of nowhere Kenta is behind him, he grabbed Tasyoukee¡¯s arm and threw him into another building.


    Yuuta could barely lift his head to see what was going on. Coughing up blood, "that¡¯s the best you got freak?" Kenta is in front of him and began punching him in the gut, then smiles and teleported behind him again and kicked him in the back. The pain became unbearable, Kenta swept his foot down low and kicked him to the ground on his stomach. Then took his face and ran it through the rubble in the ground.


    The cold water didn¡¯t work, so now Enjo asked for hot water. The elder brought it back in a hurry, then Enjo threw it on her and it still doesn¡¯t work. He kept shaking "please Megumi we need you not knowing how hard he¡¯s shaking her." Yuuta began trying to stand up but he couldn''t, crawling and crawling. Until he found something he could pull himself up on.


    Enjo kept shaking Megumi until she turned on her side facing Yuuta and she saw him trying to pick himself up. Not fully aware of what¡¯s going on, but she¡¯s knew everyone was in trouble, but she couldn''t do anything about it. Yuuta fell again to the ground. Megumi started cry now that¡¯s she sees what¡¯s going on.


    Enjo asked "what are you crying for?" "Ohh now I see you do and now understand what¡¯s going on." Enjo picked her up to where she¡¯s sitting up on the ground and turned her to every direction. "This is what¡¯s happening to our village it''s because of Kenta." The tears began flooding down her face, Hedoidesu got up again finally and saw what he was doing to Tasyoukee "HEY LET GO OF HIM" Kenta stopped and instant speed rushed Hedoidesu and in slow motion everyone watched.


    Kenta spun in the air twice and then kicked Hedoidesu in the neck through the building. He went through the building like a rag doll motionless. Megumi exclaimed full of tears "NO YUUTA YOU MONSTER!" Everyone looked including Kenta and except Yuuta no one could believe it she was talking.


    She flew to Kenta face to face she had enough, her hair was changed, and her arm was skeletal. He looked at her and set her on fire, Megumi looked and reached down at her legs and touched one of them with her skeletal hand. Miraculously the fire disappeared in a silver gust the fire turned to ash.


    Kenta couldn¡¯t believe it. She said "those tricks are over for you then she took her arm and punched him in his face." He fell back staggering, then he hit her in her stomach. She coughed up a little blood, they began fighting blow for blow. Every hit she landed he landed one back. Except she was getting tired quickly.


    They just kept at it blow for blow the noise sounds of punches landing kicks landing you could hear for miles. Then finally she staggered back a little grabbing her chest trying to breathe without swallowing blood. He rushed her and kicked her she flew all the way outside near the gates. The entire village in shock.


    Unfortunately, Kenta was not pleased with Megumi¡¯s effort to try and stop him. So, he instantly rushed her and picked her up choking her, with both hands, she couldn¡¯t breathe, her hair slowly very slowly changing back to normal.

 Chapter 10- Tasyoukees Art

    Her hand was still skeletal, Tasyoukee noticed it, and he couldn¡¯t bear to watch it, secretly he loved Megumi at first sight. His body he was a slim lean guy, his hair not too short. Enjo noticed Tasyoukee "what are we going to do?" "Hey are you alright" Enjo asked? Tasyoukee said nothing except looked at him. Enjo asked "wait you¡¯re not going to attack me, are you?"


    Every window in the village busted, and a cold chill was felt sweeping through the entire village. It was like a little howl in the wind could be heard leaves, being rattled on the ground. No one knew what was going on. Enjo said "hey you activated your art Tasyoukee." His hair began changing colors, his hair was predominantly black. Confusingly his hair split colors one side of his hair was white the other side black.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    Then a mark appeared on his left cheek in small print it said "Purity". Enjo asked "what does that mean Tasyoukee Purity"? An orange aura formed around Tasyoukee he looked down then, a circle was in the middle of each of his hands, they had small writing inside of them it spelled out "Sacred".


    Then on both of his wrists they had small writing. The left had small writing and it said "Guide, then he looked on the right it said "Us. Everyone still standing and looking even Kenta stopped and looked, Kansha there laying on the ground trying to breathe.


    She couldn¡¯t believe what she was seeing, it was unimaginable. Enjo was full of shock for the first time, he couldn¡¯t say anything. Tasyoukee closed his eyes and thought in his mind about what he would do to Kowaremashita. Then he opened his eyes a sword was in his hands. Shining so bright it blinded himself, he understood what he had to do then.


    He took the sword out of his hands and held it in one hand downwards. He then looked at Kenta, and exclaimed"YOU WILL PAY!"

 Chapter 11- The Dawn of A New Day!

    Kenta looked at Tasyoukee¡¯s sword and he set it on fire. Then the fire was spread over to his clothes, he was burning on fire, but he didn¡¯t feel a thing. Enjo just watched out of shock, you really are something Tasyoukee he thought to himself.


    Tasyoukee took his sword and swung it upwards with his left arm and then down "ENOUGH" he said! The fire was no more it vanished no ash, dust, or anything. Enjo¡¯s jaw dropped "what is this art you have Tasyoukee?"


    Without hesitation, he ran and lunged at Kenta. Kenta tried to block the attack but, he couldn¡¯t. Piercing both his hands Tasyoukee, then kicked him in the chest once, then his chin. Tasyoukee did forget Kenta could use his legs as well.


    He kicked Tasyoukee all the way back to Enjo. He then slid the sword out of his hands with his right eye. Then he picked the sword up and held it forward in his left arm. Tasyoukee got up and started running at him, Enjo asked "what are you doing he has your sword!?" Kenta lunged at him, when he got close enough, Tasyoukee grabbed the sword with his right arm, and took it and stuck it in his back backhandedly.


    Kenta could not move, no one had any words. He fell to his knees, as he did Tasyoukee backed up to the gates and ran fast as he could. He then jumped into the air and kicked the sword in Kenta¡¯s back in all the way until it passed through. Kenta fell over, Tasyoukee ran to Megumi and picked her up "are you OK?" "Don¡¯t worry about me get Yuuta!" "I¡¯m already on it" Enjo said. "Megumi your leg" Tasyoukee said. "I¡¯m fine it¡¯ll heal don¡¯t worry about me Tasyoukee." As she gave him a hug his hair began changing back to normal color as well the aura had left his body.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    Unknowingly, the weapon he used on Kenta was gone as well. Enjo asked Yuuta "are you OK dude?" "I¡¯ll be OK is Megumi fine?" "Yes, she¡¯s OK." "OK how about Mr. Howkuu?" Enjo helps Yuuta up off the ground and walked to Megumi and Tasyoukee. "Have you guys checked on Mr. Howkuu?" Yuuta asked. "No let¡¯s check on him."


    They make it over to Mr. Howkuu "are you alright sir?" Everyone asked. "Yes, I¡¯m fine" then everyone noticed Kenta''s hair started changing back to normal length. His face stopped jolting, and his eye was back to normal. He looked and asked everybody "what happened, why am I on the ground and why do I feel empty?" Yuuta, Mr. Howkuu, Megumi, and Enjo all asked "what did you do Tasyoukee?" He replied "I don¡¯t know I thought I killed him."


    "We all did" Yuuta replied. "Ingenious, whatever you did Tasyoukee it worked, and saved Kenta" Mr. Howkuu said! "We need to understand what this art did." As the sunset began "alright lets¡¯ help the elders, with these buildings, before nightfall you guys" Yuuta said. "Yes OK, so then we can prepare for class tomorrow" Mr. Howkuu replied. All 5 of them began walking towards the broken buildings to help the elders move all the broken glass out and sweep the rubble up.


    "OK put sheets over the broken stuff for now you guys." "Yes, sir" they replied. "OK Enjo you take care of the broken glass, Yuuta you sweep up the rubble, Tasyoukee you clean off the furniture, and decorations that have glass, dust, ash and rubble on it." "Megumi you go talk to the elders around the village console them, help them understand everything is alright."


    "Also, I will take a ladder and get the sheets and put them over the holes in the buildings, signs, and near the crumbled buildings." While Enjo is cleaning up some of the glass, he picked up a piece and cut himself.

 Chapter 12- Enjos Art & The Game of Charza

    While trying to take the piece out of his hand it was cutting his other hand. So Enjo called out "Tasyoukee can you help me?" "Sure buddy" he said. Enjo Was taller than Yuuta, and Megumi but a little shorter than Tasyoukee.


    He was almost the same size as Tasyoukee but he wasn¡¯t lean. Tasyoukee walked over he had some gloves, and told him "OK put both hands on the counter" "OK" Enjo responded. Tasyoukee said "this is going to sting not a little but a lot." He pulls the glass out of his hand, but the other he cut trying to pull it out began hurting a lot more. "Calm down" Tasyoukee said, "let me see what the problem is".


    "Damn it he said, hold on I think see what it is" Tasyoukee said. "Wait is that a splinter?" Enjo asked. "Why yes, it is hold still I¡¯m going to try and get it out with these tweezers, before its sinks in." "Oh, my goodness that¡¯s hurts." "STOP MOVING" Tasyoukee exclaimed! "Now look what you made me do it went further into your hand near that cut." "It burns please make it stop it burns please someone."


    "What happened you guys?" Megumi asked while running back. "Yea what¡¯s going on" Yuuta and Mr. Howkuu walked up and asked? "He got a splinter stuck in his hand that was cut open trying to get a piece of glass out of his other hand." "Such a clumsy fool", "Tasyoukee!" Megumi said "show some compassion." "Oh, oh OK do hang on buddy were going to save your life from this agonizing pain he says sarcastically."


    Squinting his face with his eyes closed and clinching his hand shut making a fist with the hand that was cut open. He was in so much pain, but he had stopped screaming, or yelling of pain. Enjo¡¯s hair was naturally orange, but it changed to green. Mr. Howkuu said "oh my he¡¯s activated his art through pain."


    Then this green sparkly and star like aura appeared around him. Enjo opened his eyes, Everyone, asked him "are you OK", but he couldn¡¯t respond like he was in a trance. It was so surprisingly shocking when they looked at Enjo he opened his eyes and it looked as if he was blind. Then his mouth had like stitches, but they weren¡¯t stitches on his mouth it zipped his lips closed. He put both his hands together and cliched them they began to glow bright emerald green.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    Not in a praying motion but he clinched them together. Then he stopped afterwards, he opened his eyes and they were normal. His mouth was unzipped, and his hands were healed. Enjo asked "hey, what happened you guys?" "Why are you all standing around me like I¡¯m the one injured, maybe because you were?" Tasyoukee said.


    "What!?" Enjo exclaimed "You healed your injury through your pain" Mr. Howkuu said. "That is a remarkable art!" He exclaimed. "I¡¯ve never seen anything like that" Megumi said. "How come you were hiding this Enjo" Tasyoukee asked? "I wasn¡¯t If I was in pain I guess I''ve never felt pain like that before" he said.


    "If I was in pain" astounding Mr. Howkuu said "temporary memory loss does come with gaining your art for some of you" he said. "OK let¡¯s get you up on your feet" Mr. Howkuu said. "You guys get Enjo home I¡¯ll see you all tomorrow for class." "Yes sir" everyone responded. As they''re walking Kenta bumped into Tasyoukee "thank you!" Kenta said.


    They just kept walking "what was all of that about Tasyoukee?" Kansha asked. "That guy is really a freak show huh." "Maybe he wasn¡¯t in his right mind."Megumi replied, or "either he was really saved from himself by you Tasyoukee." Yuuta said. "Hmm you know something¡­ Enjo tells everyone" "What?" Tasyoukee asked.


    "We all have unlocked our art." "Have you guys noticed that?" "Hmm your right." Megumi replied even "Kenta has seemed to unlock, his." "We need a group name!" Enjo said.


    "Are you serious?" Tasyoukee asked "YES!" He replied, "doesn¡¯t seem to be that bad of an idea" Yuuta said. "Yea we seem to work pretty good together." Megumi added, "but what should we call ourselves?" "Nothing idiotic Enjo" Tasyoukee said. "Fine" Enjo added "wait, is Mr. Howkuu added into this group?"


    Yuuta asked, "that is a good question, we settle this by charza" Tasyoukee said. "What is that?" Yuuta asked "It¡¯s like a game but, it¡¯s not it¡¯s a choice of fate, or destiny." "We take a name of someone and ask the question we want, and write their name on a leaf and put it on a tree branch."


    "If the wind floats it away that means yes to you that fate is determined, if there is no wind at all and the leaf falls to the ground it means no." Oh OK cool, so let¡¯s try it" they find a leaf and write Salul Howkuu on the leaf. Now they have to find the perfect tree, they finally find one by the school. "Tasyoukee you place it up there over there on that branch."


    Megumi said. "OK" Tasyoukee replied he climbed the tree until he met face to face with the branch, and he put it on the branch in the middle. They waited for wind to pick up and it never did. Five minutes had almost passed and still nothing. Everyone turned around and started walking away "WAIT!" Yuuta said.


    "If this is really true we should give this some more time." "It¡¯s getting late." Tasyoukee said. "Yea I¡¯m tired." Enjo said. "Sorry Yu-Yu, but it¡¯s just a game of legend as well." So, they started walking home, "fine you guys go!" Yuuta yelled. Yuuta stayed for another five minutes nothing happened not even a breeze. So, he to walked away to go home and sleep.

 Chapter 13- The Teacher and His Students A New Alliance: The Legendary Oskata

    The next morning arrived Megumi, Tasyoukee, Yuuta, and Enjo all had a torn part of the leaf on their door step. As they meet up "hey you guys did you all get a piece of the leaf on your doorstep too?" Yuuta asked. "It could be any leaf" Tasyoukee said. "Look it has writing I can¡¯t make out what it says" Enjo said.


    "Wait!" as Megumi blows over the leaf white ash falls from it and the writing starts burning like amber from a fire. They can see it very well then, and they say it at the same time "Salul Howkuu." "That must be a coincidence." Tasyoukee said. "Oh, hey guys" Mr. Howkuu runs into the group. "Nope its fate" as Yuuta walks off into class.


    "Let¡¯s go you guys!" Megumi said. "OK class I¡¯m quite sure everyone seen, or heard about the crazy day that we had, yesterday right?" Mr. Howkuu asked "Yes!" The class responded "OK, everyone Let¡¯s talk about what happened." "Megumi, Enjo, Tasyoukee, and Yuuta." "You guys were all together taking on Kenta." "Yes sir!" They responded.


    "How did he activate his art again?" Enjo asked. "It was through sorrow Enjo" Mr. Howkuu said. "Do you think it was from the day that Megumi attacked him?" Enjo asked. "Hey! I was protecting Yu-Yu" Megumi exclaimed. "I was perfectly OK I was holding my own." Yuuta said. "Oh, spare me" Tasyoukee whispers lowly towards the group. "No, you guys it was his brother remember, I told you guys yesterday except Megumi." Mr. Howkuu said.


    "Oh, that¡¯s right" Yuuta replied. "Wait what about his brother?" Megumi asked. "He died." Tasyoukee said. "Oh my!" She exclaimed. "Now I see, no you don¡¯t" Mr. Howkuu replied. "Just like I told those three Kenta¡¯s family was cursed from the dead."This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    "When I mean cursed I mean cursed, whoever dies it passes onto the next." "What if he has a family and then children?" Megumi asked. "Just like it did with his family, it started with his father, mother, then brother." "He can have a healthy family, but if something were to happen to him they would slowly, or painfully die from the curse." "That is why it is called The Curse Of, Baska."


    "With his health ailing, and drowning in sorrow." "It seems to have activated Kenta¡¯s art rarely quick, but under distasteful circumstances." "So that¡¯s why he attacked the village because of me, he wasn¡¯t upset with anyone until I tried to demand an apology from him." Megumi said. "No, it¡¯s not your fault Megumi he was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off on anyone." Tasyoukee said.


    "Correct Mr. Howkuu said it could have been anyone that set him off." "Also, it seems you all activated your art yesterday except Yuuta strange." "Megumi yours was activated by rage again, the more and more you guys use it." "The closer you become to attaining it¡¯s, power."


    "Tasyoukee your art was also revealed, and one of the most peculiar ones." "It¡¯s like you became a martyr, you had all this writing on you like chains all the letters were so small wrapped on your wrists, cheek, and both of your hands." "Then out of nowhere you formed a white sword, like it was with your mind." "You used that sword on Kenta and it did not kill him, but instead it¡¯s like it purified or healed him." "Next Enjo, you cut your hand, and activated your art through pain, but then it seemed like you lost your memory while using it."


    "Nevertheless, all your wounds were healed, it was magnificent." Mr. Howkuu said. "Class dismissed for today, go enjoy the rest of your day class." Mr. Howkuu said. "Hey Mr. Howkuu!" Megumi called out. "Why yes?" He replied. "We started a group, and we want you to join Mr. Howkuu." "Oh my, what is this group about?" He asked. "We all activated our art and realized how by your triggering affects." Tasyoukee said.


    "Don¡¯t forget about how you tried to save me as well Mr. Howkuu yesterday." Megumi said. "Hey, you called me out on the first day laughingly." Yuuta said. "Also, you just reminded me of how I gained my art, and you¡¯re a good teacher Mr. Howkuu join us." Enjo Said. "Hmm let me think about it, as he¡¯s walking toward the door." "OK I¡¯m in but will this group be called you guys?" Yuuta asked. "Hmm The, Legendary Oskata" "perfect" as the group replies to Yuuta.

 Chapter 14- Day 1 of Training

    "For now, you four will be the first of the Wakai to awaken their art. Now you all will be model for excellence should be." "By learning your art to perfection, and trying to activate it whenever you want." Mr. Howkuu said. "So now let¡¯s go to the courtyard and try it" Mr. Howkuu said.


    "Oh really?" Enjo asked. "Yes, let¡¯s go now" Mr. Howkuu replied. As the group arrived to the courtyard Mr. Howkuu told them "that this will not be easy you will face times where you want to stop, give up, or cry." "Yes, we know sir." Tasyoukee said. "Alright you first then Tasyoukee" Mr. Howkuu replied. "Go over in front of the stage we will sit back here in the stand."


    "Now Tasyoukee show us your art!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "OK!" He replied. Tasyoukee stood still and, then he thought of Megumi and nothing happened. "We''re still waiting Tasyoukee" Mr. Howkuu said. "Yes, I know." He replied. Thinking to himself what is the problem, how come I can¡¯t activate it now. "I think he¡¯s have trouble doing it." Yuuta said.


    "Yes, I agree with you Yuuta. Mr. Howkuu replied. It wasn¡¯t pain, rage, sorrow, or hate. So, it had to be love of course thinking in his head. "OK I got it" Mr. Howkuu yelled out. "Got what?" Enjo asked. "I know how to activate his art", "you do?" Yuuta asked. "Yes, Megumi can I borrow your assistance it¡¯ll help?" "Sure thing" Mr. Howkuu. She replied.

    "OK turn around face Tasyoukee" "OK" she responded. "Call his name." Mr. Howkuu said. "Tasyoukee, Tasyoukee can you hear me", then his eyes opened then Mr. Howkuu pushed Megumi down the stand onto the ground in front of Tasyoukee. He didn¡¯t show any emotions, so it didn¡¯t seem to be rage. Nevertheless, in his mind he was going crazy Megumi! He was thinking in his mind. There it was his hair changed one side, half white the other half black. Megumi told Tasyoukee "stay calm it¡¯s a part of his technique to help you."


    "How is this help!?" Tasyoukee replied. "Please!" she begged "stay calm." "OK" for you. Tasyoukee replied Only Mr. Howkuu walked up face to face with Tasyoukee and noticed all the writings. Scared to go near him, he felt the gust of the cold the chill that followed Tasyoukee.


    "Thank goodness there are no windows around." Mr. Howkuu said. Then leaves started rattling, as he got closer he noticed it said Purity on his left cheek. Then his wrists had writing he asked Tasyoukee to hold out his wrists. He did and he noticed the left wrist had guide written on it, and the right wrist had us written on it. Furthermore, he noticed his hands had circles in the middle of them and they had writing inside of them it said Sacred.


    Then out of nowhere this orange wavy aura formed around Tasyoukee and Mr. Howkuu¡¯s foot is still within range. His shoe began to melt off and then it disintegrated on the ground.

 Chapter 15- Old Habits New Tricks

    Everyone said "wow", "he is really strong." Yuuta said. "Everyone¡¯s art will not be of the same strength, I think we learned that during yesterday." Mr. Howkuu replied "but your art is truly remarkable" he said to Tasyoukee. "Help me up?" Megumi Asked. "Yes!" Tasyoukee exclaimed.


    Then his hair went back to normal, the aura was gone, and all the writing left his body. "Excellent Tasyoukee we just have to find a way to activate a lot quicker." "If you say so." Tasyoukee replied. "Who¡¯s next?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I¡¯ll go next." Megumi replied. "No that¡¯ll be fine we know how to activate your art Megumi." Mr. Howkuu said. "I thought you wanted to work on it though?" She asked. "Yes, but we will try yours last."


    Mr. Howkuu said. "Please I want to go next sir." OK fine, Megumi" he replied. "Think of something that enrages, you" he said. "Do you remember yesterday, how Yuuta kept falling down, over and over?" "Knocked through a wall in front of you and the village being helpless not being able to do anything."


    Overcoming with rage her art appeared hair changed, voice, and her left arm was skeletal. "Good Megumi you did it." Mr. Howkuu said. While looking at Enjo nodding his head yes, your next. "LOOK OUT!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. He tried pushing Mr. Howkuu out of the way but Megumi still grazed his right shoulder with a deep cut. "Megumi why did you?" Tasyoukee asked. "I¡¯m sorry Mr. Howkuu I didn¡¯t mean to, really it was accident" while crying Kansha said. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    Enjo thinking to himself my art is really triggered through pain, and I can heal myself. I wonder if I can heal him through me. "Get over here" Enjo! Yuuta yelled. "Look!" Megumi said "he¡¯s activated his art again." His hair went from orange to Green, and his eyes looked as if they went blind.


    Then his mouth began again with those zipper looking like stitches. He then put his hands together and they glowed bright emerald green. Then this bright emerald sparkly star green aura came around him. He could not move, Yuuta yelled out, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ENJO?"


    Enjo pointed at Mr. Howkuu¡¯s body and pointed back at him. Signaling them to bring him closer to him within arms, reach.


    It took a few minutes to drag him over to Enjo, Mr. Howkuu was bleeding out bad faster, and faster.


    "What did your arm do to him Megumi?" Yuuta asked. "I don¡¯t know" they finally got Mr. Howkuu to Enjo then Enjo took his thumb that he bit for pain, and let some of the blood leak out onto Mr. Howkuu. "What are you doing dude?" Tasyoukee asked.


    As the blood fell on Mr. Howkuu the blood started running in formation like it were trying to race around his body, that wasn¡¯t it though. The blood was looking for the injured part on his body the blood ran to his shoulder, and creeped in. Mr. Howkuu¡¯s eyes were just like Enjo¡¯s as if they were blind.


    Then his shoulder had a green light creeping outside of the wound. His shoulder started rapidly healing itself. Then Mr. Howkuu¡¯s eyes changed back and his shoulder was closed, and it was healed.

 Chapter 16- Onto The Village of Divinity The First Task

    "Impossible" the three said while they were looking. Mr. Howkuu sat up, "what happened? He asked. "Enjo saved you sir!" "Megumi said. "Oh, my he did?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "We should get you home sir, and give you some rest." Yuuta said.


    "Some rest!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "No while your speaking I almost forgot about you Yuuta, get over here and show us your art." Mr. Howkuu said. "How?" He replied. "Oh, that¡¯s right the 5 triggering affects have no effect on you."


    "For all we know it could be a sixth triggering affect. "Wait a sixth?" Tasyoukee asked. "Yes, but we would have to find out what it is." Mr. Howkuu replied. "For now, we will go to the escoolur." Mr. Howkuu said. "We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow all five of us." "Wait what do you mean sir?" Enjo asked. "We¡¯re going to the Village of Divinity to pick up some books." "If this is truly not art that Yuuta has." "It may be something else more powerful and amazing." "Nevertheless, I want to get to the bottom of this." Mr. Howkuu said.


    "The Village of Divinity, I always wanted to go there. Megumi said." A bunch of pansies who believe in what they can¡¯t see, yea this should be fun." Tasyoukee said sarcastically. "Cool we will be experiencing with the supernatural." Enjo said while making ghostly noises.


    They finally made it to the escoolur, while walking in line Mr. Howkuu asked Yuuta "what do you think?" Yuuta dropped his Habinge Cup full of Eyezaanee Water, Oaslen bread, and fish. "Yuuta"! Megumi yells out "are you OK?" "Yes." He replied. "I think going to The Village of Divinity will be excellent sir." "Great you guys should get a good night¡¯s rest the weather can change very often from hot, cold, dry, windy, freezing, to storming anytime on the path to that village."Love what you''re reading?

    "OK you guys should go home and get some things to take with you for our trip." "Yes sir." The group replied. Walking out Yuuta felt a knot forming from his bruise, from when he fell earlier. "Put some cold water on your face when you get home Yuuta." Megumi said, "or do you need me to come over and help?"


    "Look out mother Megumi is here to save poor Yuuta" Tasyoukee said. "Shut up!" Yuuta responded. "No thank you I¡¯m fine Megumi I can do it myself." "See you guys tomorrow." Enjo said. As they all parted ways, and started walking home. Yuuta¡¯s pain got worse his head felt like it was throbbing but the knot wasn¡¯t on his forehead.


    He finally made it home, he went to the washroom, and rinsed his hands in cold water like Megumi said. Then he stuck his head in the sink and let the cold water fall on his head. Next, he took both hands and let the water fill in his palms and then rubbed the water all over his face. The pain stopped, and what felt like throbbing stopped.


    Unfortunately, the mark, or bruise was still there. So anyway, Yuuta tried laying down and going to sleep. He couldn¡¯t he kept turning tiredly, started becoming restless. Unable to rest Yuuta got up and poured himself a glass of Spicy Urban Milk.


    Finally, after a couple of minutes Yuuta went to sleep. He woke up the next morning tired groggy, like he just ran around the courtyard. He got up and went to the washroom looked in the mirror. There it was he saw the bruise, or mark on his forehead was gone. So, then he started getting ready for today, and packing the little things he was going to take with him.


    Boom while walking to his room, when he opened his door. He felt this scorching hot sensation on the handle, when he pulled it open. He looked at his hands writing were on them and he read out, "No Blind Witnesses."

 Chapter 17- Hushurs 3rd Rule!

    Yuuta thinking to himself No Blind Witnesses what does that mean? Then as Yuuta started walking towards the door to leave home he fainted. Then he was in this trance, dream, or nightmare. Yuuta had no idea what was going on. Yuuta called out "Hushur is that you?"


    Nothing, Yuuta said "Hushur I called out to you the other night." "When Kenta was acting out insanely, you did not help me." "Were you not listening or, did you not care to help this village, I know you are from The Village of Divinity Hushur!" He exclaimed. Then this blue foggy mist began forming inside of Yuuta''s mind a blue face appeared, and his eyes are closed.


    His hair Yuuta said to himself in his mind. He couldn¡¯t make out his hair it was on fire of all it this blue fire. Yuuta could feel the flames they were getting hotter, hotter, and hotter. He felt like he was burning, it started to become agonizing. Then this voice started speaking Hedoidesu "Yoku¡¯." "Hushur is that you?" Yuuta asked. "Yes", the voice responded. "Why did you not help me the other night" "Were you not listening, or did you not care?" Yuuta asked.


    "Is this some sick game you play, when people need you there is no help, and when people don¡¯t you appear when you want!" Yuuta exclaimed. "I thought you helped your people Hushur or is that is only for the people from your village!?" Yuuta yelled out. "ENOUGH!!" The voice yelled out. "I told you Hushur will always serve his people." "Then why did you not help me the other night?" "You must understand Yuuta of the Wakai."Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    "Just because you know does not mean there are others who do not need me." "So, you had allies there to help you, my assistance was not needed." "I knew you all could handle that problem, for I know of the future." "You can only hope for tomorrow, but I can change time itself." "Yuuta you must understand I see and hear all, there is not a time I would leave you on death¡¯s bed unless you deserved it."


    "What about my hands what does this mean No Blind Witnesses?" Yuuta asked. "In due time, you will know Yuuta of the Wakai." "For those who see evil, but do not attempt to save one from another how can one save them self, when they can¡¯t even attempt to save another."


    "So, I ask you Yuuta, when you go to this village do you really think you will find answers beyond your measure?" "Also, you have to ask yourself do, you think those books, will show you who I am, or determine who you are?" "I simply ask of you today Yuuta when you go this village be weary of those blind witnesses."


    "For not those books will show you the answer, but only the truth can and the truth will be revealed, but by only for whom is truly a pure soul, and would not become corrupt for anyone else." "So, I tell you Yuuta don¡¯t become a blind witness, but understand what cannot be foreseen can become a problem or an aid if prepared for the unexpected."


    "That is the 3rd rule I have told you now Yuuta." The voice said. "Now what you do with what you have been told, and what you are going to discover." "Relies not only on you, but those who surround you in comfort and protection." "What does that mean?" Yuuta asked. As the blue foggy mist disappeared Yuuta began waking up.

 Chapter 18- The Journey of Truth Begins

    Then he walked out side, and he saw the entire group, "whoa Yuuta I thought we were going to have to come in and get you are you OK?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Yes, I¡¯m fine." He replied.


    "Now we''re going to stop by Ms. Ai¡¯s house" Mr. Howkuu said "for some of Megumi¡¯s grandmother¡¯s great tea."


    "OK group let''s go as they arrived to Megumi¡¯s home they see that Ms. Ai has started packing some things. "Grandmother what are you doing?" Megumi asked. "Just some things I packed in an old sack for you guys." "You never know when you may need it." "OK grandmother."She said. "Why thank you for this lovely tea Ms. Ai" Mr. Howkuu said.


    "No thank you" she said laughingly, "I haven¡¯t had guests in years to come to my home." "Oh, then I¡¯ll visit more often then." Mr. Howkuu said. "Oh, dear you don¡¯t have to Ms. Ai" replied. "It¡¯s an honor to visit The Great Supika now, I hope it¡¯s not a problem to visit her more often." Mr. Howkuu said.


    Standing there speechless, "wondering to yourself how I know are you?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I do my research" he said. "Furthermore, I think we shall be on our way Ms. Ai." "Thank you again for this lovely tea." "Your all welcome come back anytime when you want some more." "Oh yes also Megumi." "Yes grandmother." She replied. "Take this¡­ what is it?" "Don¡¯t you worry it¡¯s a good luck charm."


    "Hopefully I¡¯ll see all of you pass through that gate to return home." "Yes, grandmother don¡¯t worry we¡¯ll be back see you later." "Megumi said. "OK" as Ms. Ai is waving goodbye to them. Mr. Howkuu began opening the gates, OK let¡¯s go. As the group began walking, Enjo asked "so what she would talk about?" "Hmm Mr. Howkuu do you have family here?" Yuuta asked. "No not from this village, I have a brother from The Village of Thaumaturgy." If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    "Huh, who would¡¯ve guessed it." Tasyoukee said. "So, is he a teacher as well?" Megumi asked. "Why yes." He replied, "but he just can¡¯t seem to find a single student of thaumaturgy." "Why did he choose to teach there?" Yuuta asked. "Well he was fascinated with the story of the Witch¡¯s Return, and he wanted to learn all of the history there about what happened."


    "I personally assume that he wants to find someone with magic, or of some magical use." "To do good I guess he is very dedicated to trying to clear his village¡¯s name." "He loves that village like it was his own family, heck he spends all of his time there."


    "So, have you ever visited?" Enjo asked. "Of course I have been there, stayed the night." "It¡¯s a feeling you won¡¯t forget, as if something was lurking in the night, or shadows." "As you guys know though, my village, home is here in The Village of Sorrow with you guys." Mr. Howkuu said. "I bet it is." Tasyoukee said sarcastically. Kicking rocks along the way, "wow that¡¯s some pretty cool stuff!" Enjo exclaimed.


    You think so? Mr. Howkuu asked. Shoot yea. He replied. The group begins walking for hours and soon the sun starts setting. "It¡¯s sunset." Megumi said. "Yes!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "So let¡¯s start jogging" he suggests. "Sure whatever." Tasyoukee said.


    So the group started running and as they approach this humongous tree, as they jog by it. Yuuta noticed that a huge plate of wood was placed in between the bark and roots. So, the bottom of the tree the bark was on top of the roots separating any space between it.


    "When you see that tree you guys, that means we¡¯re half way there." Mr. Howkuu said. "What¡¯s the story behind that tree Mr. Howkuu?" Yuuta asked. "Well do you guys really want to hear this story now about the tree?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Yes, the group replied."

 Chapter 19- The Six Founding Sisters of Serenual

    "For starters, the name of that tree is HemYahlasin." "Wow that is a strange weird name, sir where did the tree get its name?" Megumi asked. "Well the wood you guys saw in between the base, and roots is for protection." "Huh" the group sighed. "Yes, that tree is one the eldest trees still here in Serenual."


    "When one passes by HemYahlasin it is believed that one will find themself, and when one leaves and passes by the tree." "One loses themself, and to find themselves again, one must sit under the tree for hours in mediation." "Of course, this was of myth, what do I know." "So, have you ever sat under the tree Mr. Howkuu?" Megumi asked. "Why no!" He exclaimed. "I don¡¯t believe in that Juck Juck, it''s also said that those who do not believe, mock, or harm the tree."


    "Will and shall be cursed from the founding sisters of Serenual." "Wait it¡¯s, founding sisters?" Tasyoukee asked. "Why yes." Mr. Howkuu said. "Why do you ask?" "Do none of you know of the founding sisters?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Why no" they replied. "Well I¡¯ll tell you guys what I know of the founding sisters to the best of my recollection." "It was 6 Founding sisters I don¡¯t remember their last names you guys will have to find a book for their full names."


    "Nevertheless, Yoslee was the first sister she was the eldest, tallest, and from what I hear she could have anyone she wanted." "The second sister was UmKatrisa she was the youngest, bravest, and most talented." "It was nothing she could not draw it is said she laid out the foundation of Serenual." "The third sister was AsKaline the middle sister she was overlooked for many things, but she always stood up for what was right." "It¡¯s still said that AsKaline can be heard if your close to their monuments near the burial grounds outside the gates in the center of all the paths between the 3 different villages."


    "If you stand closely enough some say you can still hear her tell her sisters, we can¡¯t do what¡¯s right all the time but every time." "Unfortunately, AsKaline was the shortest sister so they pretty much overlooked her the entire time, even though she was very boisterous." "The fourth sister was Incoleechia she was the most skilled in combat." "If there were any conflicts with beasts, or people of any nature." "Incoleechia could solve it, she wasn''t brave at all she was quite the opposite the coward of the sisters."Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "When forced she would protect them, help get anything they needed, but she was always a coward." "The fifth sister was StaLeaze she was very provocative, she loved challenging everyone." "Even those who at the time might have been in higher authority than her." "Some say that StaLeaze challenged a sister and took her spot, but the other sisters were too afraid to challenge her." "StaLeaze was said to be very condescending, but never misled herself." "Those who challenged her failed, and those who didn¡¯t challenge were afraid."


    "StaLeaze knew her place as sister was not complied with, but she did involve herself much with the village or what had to be done to protect, serve, or rebuild the village." "She became dark, erratic, and untrustworthy." "So, the sisters came together and banished her from Serenual." "Not last but least the sixth sister was Ewwmura." "Some said that she had a gift of being able to the future." "Also, that Ewwmura foreseen that Serenual would be built, but it took time for her to see how the formation would come into place."


    "Very fortunate with her gift, she foresaw that Serenual would be very prosperous." "They were not related in any way." "One day all of those girls met and became friends excluding StaLeaze, thus forming Serenual." "By the time they had formed Serenual all of them were old and lived a very happy life." "Everyone took care of each other, no one knew where StaLeaze went after the sisters banished her."


    "Some say that StaLeaze is still alive, I know your probably thinking how and why." "Well Ewwmura told the other sisters after their deaths there would be great conflict in Serenual." "No one knew why even Ewwmura couldn¡¯t see it."


    "They never heard or seen StaLeaze again, some say she still roams Serenual looking for the perfect time to re-emerge in to society." "After the 5 sisters died supposedly 6 a tree started growing there." "People took a look at the tree, you could see the roots were deep in the ground." "People were trying pull up the roots or dig them up to see what kind of tree that was or some information on it."


    "Some people finally reached where the roots were and they were astounded by what they saw." "I know your probably thinking I thought there were only elders here." "Back then there were plenty of people of all ages." "Now time has passed and what has taken place it makes you wonder is Serenual cursed but back to the story."

 Chapter 20- The Strange Village of Divinity

    "The people looked down in the ground and snatched a pair of roots out." "They looked at both of them the roots were brown, but had the strangest details in them." "It was like looking at a brown vein." "They had blood like lines running through the roots glowing red like the tree was alive."


    "Then a man squeezed the roots, and red like substance came gushing out." "The people began to notice that it was blood." "They started screaming dropped the roots and covered the hole back up they had dug." "Then they got some people and made an entire plate of wood between the base of the tree and roots." "Then, came the next day and they noticed it grew more through the wooden plate."


    "Then every day the tree grew, and people started sitting under the tree." "Those people who sat under the tree became, very prosperous, they either became rich, or were sick, and healed." "Those are the 6 founding sisters of Serenual." "WOW!!" The group exclaimed. "Yep" Mr. Howkuu replied.


    "We''re here now, just in time it¡¯s nightfall" Mr. Howkuu said. As they approach the gate of Divinity. They meet 2 elder guards at the gates, "we''re here on an appointment" Mr. Howkuu said. The 2 elders said "OK, but we have to check you guys first", as the elders walked over they carried a book in their hands. Yuuta thought to himself that¡¯s the same book father had in his dresser. "Ostul, Eesto, Aasta" is what came out of the 2 elder guard¡¯s mouths. The group asked Mr. Howkuu "what are they doing?"


    "They¡¯re just doing their duty as guards in this village." As the group walked by them they noticed the 2 elder guards dropped their heads, and shook them. "Oh, I might have forgotten to mention that this village does not believe in the power of art." "Instead some god, man or hybrid I don¡¯t know." As they make their way inside "wow this village¡¯s formation is very different than ours." Enjo said. "Indeed, it is" Mr. Howkuu replied.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    As they make their way to the library they see that it is plenty of people their tonight. So, they go inside "you guys wait while I go introduce myself to the Librarian." Mr. Howkuu said. OK they replied. So, the group sat on the ground and watched all of the people who were standing and talking to each other. They overhead this one woman saying they were all there to meet their god ask him for forgiveness. Mr. Howkuu came back "OK you guys ready to look around?" "Yes sir they" responded.


    "OK I¡¯ll be in the back if you guys need me", OK they said. "Yuuta what are you going to get?" Megumi asked. "Hmm I don¡¯t know." He replied. "Cool they have the third installment of Cheetsow Ku Yai." Tasyoukee said. "What does that happen to be?" Megumi asked. Then Enjo blatantly interrupted "only the fiercest fighting style you can learn." He said. "If that¡¯s how you see it." Tasyoukee said. "Fighting" Megumi replied. "I know you¡¯re not planning on fighting anyone else" she said.


    "Well I have to be prepared for anythingMegumi." Tasyoukee said. "Yu-Yu where¡¯d you go" she asked? "Maybe he went to the washroom." Tasyoukee said. "Maybe so." Megumi replied. Yuuta was further in the back looking for something anything dealing with Hushur.


    Yuuta was steadily looking, but he couldn¡¯t find anything dealing with a man named Hushur. Then he came across this paper scroll article, you could barely read it like it was crumpled up. He guessed it was just very old, but Yuuta could still make out some of the writing. He could see some words but it read out "MAN DEAD IN BRUTAL WAR AGAINST ANOTHER VILLAGE 2044."


    Then next to it had in small writing still barely visible "INNCOENT MAN KILLED BY UNATURAL CAUSE 2051." The stranger Yuuta tried discovering on the old torn up piece of scroll. Then the librarian walked in "HEY!" "What are you doing?" He exclaimed.


    "Nothing I¡¯m just looking at some old pieces of papers sir." "Those are not supposed to be touched and not visible to the public." "So why are you back here!" The librarian exclaimed again. "We are so sorry excuse us please." Mr. Howkuu said. "Fine but don¡¯t ever do that again, this is not only sacred to me, but to my people as well." He said.

 Chapter 21- The Mysterious Guards of Divinity...

    "You people." Tasyoukee said. "Like something is going to fall out the sky and save you." He also stated. "Well I hope something doesn¡¯t fall out of the sky and take you." The librarian said. "I think it¡¯s time for us to leave" as Enjo whispered in Mr. Howkuu¡¯s ear. "Yes your right it¡¯s getting really late I think it¡¯s time for us to go."


    "Once again thank you for the books." As they walked away the librarian gave them this soulless death stare. "Mr. Howkuu where are we going to stay it is night now?" Megumi asked. "Well that¡¯s the problem I didn¡¯t think it would take us this long you guys." He replied. "We¡¯ll just have to make our way back" Mr. Howkuu said. "Really through all of this pitch darkness" Tasyoukee sarcastically said.


    "Wait do you guys hear that?" Enjo asked. "That sounds like, then Yuuta blatantly interrupted a "Slooping Slew Rize." "Yes." Mr. Howkuu said. "Those three-legged birds are very intimidating." "Well let¡¯s go you guys we have a ways back", as the group started approaching the gate they met the two elder guards again. The two elder guards grabbed Yuuta¡¯s arm and told him. "You are the one of Wakai" they both said simultaneously.


    "OK." Mr. Howkuu said "we must get going see you guys later he told the guards." "Those are some creepy elder guards!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. "Yes, they¡¯re just worried" Mr. Howkuu said. "I mean did you see their attire, the way their hats stood on their head." "Their hats were curled like toes to the back and had 2 small strings of thread coming out of the front top of them drooping down."


    This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    "Then their shirts has small writing at the bottom going across their entire waist line." "Also, their collars were growing like a tree stretching across their shoulders like they were shoulder guards or something." "Then the pants they had were so baggy, and don¡¯t forget those pointy shoes they were curved to point at the toes of the shoe."


    "If you looked closely enough like I did I noticed they had these three talon like claws from that point." Tasyoukee said. "Oh, and don¡¯t forget how adapting, they were to everything we did" Enjo said. "Don¡¯t forget how silent they were, and why did they keep whispering things behind us?" "I don¡¯t know you guys, but just be grateful we didn¡¯t have to be thoroughly checked for anything." Mr. Howkuu said. "What they do that?" The group asked.


    "Yes they usually do" Mr. Howkuu said. As the group left the gate and began getting back on track. Mr. Howkuu told them "OK pick up the pace." "Wait why?" The group asked. "I didn¡¯t like their personas" He replied. "So, It wasn¡¯t just me who thought they were completely sketchy." Tasyoukee said. "Not just you but all of us thought that" Megumi said.


    Back at the village the librarian ran out to the guards and told them, that he thought one of those of the Wakai saw something he wasn¡¯t supposed to. The two guards told the librarian "OK, we will handle it." The two elder guards put their hands together in a clinching motion, not a praying motion but just clinched. Then they bowed their heads to the librarian, and stuck their left foot out while their heads were bowed.


    They still had their hands in this clinching motion, head bowed, and left leg stuck out not bending. Then the two guards turned towards the gate, they stood up straight but kept their hands clinched. Then proceeded towards the gate running with speed, amazingly they jumped over the gate flipping in the air hands still clinched.


    Then the librarian ran to the gate and put his right hand on the gate, and stuck his ear to the gate listening to see if they were gone. Out of nowhere he heard one of the elders in his mind. "we are still here don¡¯t get too comfortable, we help you but you still owe us.


    Don¡¯t forget we can take this village without even raising a finger. Then he heard both of them "NOW GO BACK AND COUNT YOUR BOOKS!" They exclaimed simultaneously.

 Chapter 22- The Night of Defamation

    The librarian ran from the gate, thinking to himself how. They can read minds now or can they only talk to me through my mind. I must be safe and very cautious one slip up, even the most unpretentious mistake could cause not only my life, but the life of this village.


    It has to be something in the library I didn¡¯t read or haven¡¯t come across yet. I must return to my studies and find out what is going on for the village. "There¡¯s the tree!" Megumi Exclaimed tiredly. "Yes!" Mr. Howkuu said "we must hurry." They then began to run fast as they could, all of a sudden Tasyoukee saw a Slooping Slew Rize "Mr. Howkuu look" he said. "I know I see keep running fast as you can!"


    He exclaimed. "Are we running from someone or something?" Megumi asked. "To be honest I don¡¯t know you guys but I thought this trip would be safe and easy, but instead it seems a little tedious." As the group is running they all hear this sound it sounded like dozens of brooms sweeping across a mat or something.


    Then they turned around and they saw the wind picking up. "OK you guys stop!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "Wait why the group?" Asked. "Something is following us and whatever it is we should not and cannot bring it back to the village with us." "We must handle it here and now" Mr. Howkuu said.


    So, they stopped and then Mr. Howkuu told everyone "concentrate now and activate your art." So that is what they did, Megumi activated hers first with rage. Then came Tasyoukee thinking of his love for Megumi. Next was Enjo activating his art through scratching his right arm bleeding very little with settle pain. Everyone looked at Yuuta "well?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I don¡¯t know I can¡¯t through the five triggering affects remember." He replied.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Oh that¡¯s right" well, as Mr. Howkuu shook his head "OK be ready you guys for anything." The sound of a dozen brooms stopped. Then in front of them here came the elders running they come to a halt. Mr. Howkuu tried asking the elder guards, "what have we done to be hunted down and treated like criminals of the village?" The 2 elders walked closer and closer to Mr. Howkuu with their heads bowed and hands clinched.


    Then they stopped bowing, raised their heads, and unclinched their hands. They both said simultaneously "that you all are of Wakai except you you¡¯re the teacher which makes it even worse." Standing on each side of his shoulder in front of him. One elder guard grabs one of his shoulders with his 2 first fingers and the other does the same. "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Megumi exclaimed loudly.


    They both pinched his shoulder and then Mr. Howkuu fell to the ground unconscious. Megumi thinking to herself if we can distract them one of us can move Mr. Howkuu out of the way. "That won¡¯t work your pitiful child, you and your friend¡¯s efforts are futile." Whispering to herself "wait is that the guard''s voice in my head." She quickly realized it was and yelled out "THEY CAN READ MINDS whisper among each other." So, they did, then Megumi started running at the elder and lunged.


    He simply side stepped her and dodged the attack. Then Megumi turned around and looked at the elder guard she lunged at him so bizarrely, she couldn¡¯t believe he dodged a pinpoint hit. The elder just simply back handed her then Megumi fell to the ground.


    His face it looked as if he became very irate that Megumi would even think about that. Yuuta whispered to Enjo, and Tasyoukee "we must do something." "Remember Enjo can¡¯t speak in that state we can, but I wonder can they read his mind while he¡¯s like that." Tasyoukee said. "Yes, that¡¯s right." Yuuta responded. "OK we¡¯ll try and get Mr. Howkuu and Megumi to you Enjo." "I¡¯ll make my move" Tasyoukee said.


    "No wait we need a plan." He replied. Tasyoukee closed his eyes then opened them, and a white lasso appeared in his hand it looked like it was made of steel. "OK I¡¯ll try and hold them while you make a run for Megumi and Mr. Howkuu." "OK!" Yuuta replied.

 Chapter 23- The Great Tribulation of Sacred-ism

    "Now go" he said. Tasyoukee then threw that white lasso around one of the guards, and strangely enough. It¡¯s like the lasso opened another angle to loosen up and then entangled the second elder guard inside trapping both of them. One of the guards said, "I can¡¯t move what about you?" "No", the other replied.


    "I can¡¯t do anything" one said, "hold on I got a trick" the other responds. Yuuta made it over to Megumi and he ran back carrying her over to Enjo¡¯s feet. The guards looked at each other they saw what was happening they looked each other in their eyes and they began glowing white. Then this white light beamed down like a spotlight splitting in between the elder guards. They both looked at Yuuta as he started dragging Mr. Howkuu towards Enjo. Yuuta feels like he¡¯s in slow motion, but in reality, he is moving in normal speed.


    Tasyoukee yelled at him "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING C''MON MOVE IT." Yuuta words were slurred, Tasyoukee couldn''t understand Yuuta thought he was speaking in slow motion as well. Tasyoukee yelled at the guards and asked them "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"


    They turned and looked at Tasyoukee he dropped his head then closed his eyes. Then reawakens them and this white skeletal mask appears on his face thinking of Megumi it became skeletal making it capable to withstand anything hard, visual, or physical to penetrate it . The guards couldn¡¯t understand what Tasyoukee¡¯s ability was, or how to subdue it.


    So they looked back at Yuuta and he started moving slower and slower. Whispering to himself behind his mask "DAMMIT WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO!" Tasyoukee said. So he closed his eyes once more, the guards noticed his skeletal mask started to disappear. They looked at him once more as Tasyoukee started to open his eyes. The two guards caught him while not expecting it, and then Tasyoukee started to feel time itself slow down. If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Everything seemed to be in such a slow speed. He couldn¡¯t believe it the guards saw Tasyoukee muttering something to himself. As his eyes began to glow white he yelled at Yuuta "NOW!". Another light beamed down on top of Tasyoukee acting as a spotlight. The two guards noticed that the same thing they were doing to Yuuta was happening to them.


    Except it seemed Yuuta wasn''t slowed down any longer. One of the guards said to the other "it seems we can¡¯t prolong him any longer." "How" the other guard said, "just who is he." So the guards tried moving out of the lasso around them. "We¡¯re moving to slow, we¡¯ll never be able to get out of this." Then as the guards are pulling on the lasso and trying to move they noticed, that Tasyoukee¡¯s body was pulling, his sides, and hips were moving as if he was being pulled.


    "Do you see that?" One of the guards asked. "Why yes!" "It¡¯s like his eyes are acting as a mirror effect to whatever we do." The other replied. "Or is the lasso acting as a part of his body?" They both asked each other simultaneously. "Only one way to find out" one of them said. "Lend me your hand" he said. "Why" the other guard replied. "Just do it were going to combine our strength." So one the guards placed one his hands on top of the lasso wrapping around his side. Then tells the other guard "place one of your hands on top of mine."


    Yuuta finally got Mr. Howkuu over to Enjo. He then noticed that Tasyoukee needed help. Enjo looked at Yuuta and shook his head in approval. The guards'' hands turn to this stone like material. Then they grip the lasso and squeeze it. Tasyoukee fell to the ground, and grabbed at his chest. Yuuta yelled out TASYOUKEE! His eyes changed back to normal still in his art "I''m fine" He replied.


    The guards noticed the lasso disappearing from around their waist. So the guards took that stance again heads bowed, hands clinched, and leg stuck out. They both ran at Tasyoukee one on the left side of his shoulder and the other on the right side of his shoulder.

 Chapter 24- Gazing Dreams of Final Hours

    They both extended their arms, and opened both their hands. Then attacked each shoulde full force with those hands. Tasyoukee flew back all the way into the darkness on the path. The gust, dirt, and rubble that flew up under his feet when he got hit was devastating. Then they slowly turned and looked at Enjo, Mr. Howkuu, and Megumi.


    They did not even bother with Yuuta. He ran in front of them as they were walking towards them. "NO, YOU WON¡¯T HURT ANYONE ELSE!" As Yuuta swayed his arm in front of them. The guards walked up to Yuuta and low kick swept him under his feet to the ground. They then proceeded to go after the group, Yuuta grabbed both of their ankles, closed his eyes and said to himself in his mind "please Hushur."


    Then his eyes reopened his arms turned light blue, and it was like anchors were on their feet they could not move an inch. They looked down "what the hell is he one of them" the guards said. "I don¡¯t know, but this is not of the Wakai" the other replied. "Shall we combine our strength again" "yes, but only for a moment." They grabbed each other¡¯s hand and clinched them together. You could see this small yellow lighting aura around their hands when they clinched them together. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Both of them raised their feet that Yuuta had grabbed, and shook his hand off like a paper weights. They raised their feet and stomped the ground causing Yuuta to fall in what seemed like a hole, but was a trench.


    That had been made from their feet. Yuuta couldn¡¯t believe it he was trying to crawl out of the trench. Nevertheless, it was inevitable he felt the dirt crawling over his body and rising covering the trench like a burial. The two guards then started walking towards the group again.


    Mr. Howkuu awakened, he quickly remembered what was happening. He saw that it was only Megumi and Enjo near he didn¡¯t know what was happening. He quickly got up then stood in between the guards and them.


    The elder guards were merely inches away from Megumi and Enjo. Mr. Howkuu tried pleading with the guards "why, what do you want with us?" He asked beggingly. One of the guards walked up to his right ear, and said "your soul."

 Chapter 25- A Little Too Late..

    Mr. Howkuu pushed the guard back, and told him your, "not going to get it."  The other guard grabbed his right arm, then the pushed guard comes back and grabbed his left arm. They looked Mr. Howkuu in the eye, and bowed their heads, closed their eyes, and then started humming.


    You could hear thunder picking up as they started humming. Mr. Howkuu felt a shortness of breath, then started slowly not being able to breathe. His eyes began rolling in the back of his head. As the two guards began exhaling deeply as if their breathing had been agitated.


    Then Megumi woke up, and Enjo¡¯s art was gone. Enjo exclaimed "WAIT NO NOT NOW!" Megumi tried activating her art, but she couldn¡¯t "DAMMIT!" She exclaimed. The two guards dropped Mr. Howkuu and started walking directly to Enjo. Megumi lunged at one of them again, and missed again.


    The guard said "I¡¯m tired of this brat I¡¯m going to finish you once and for all." Soon as she missed he picked her up by the neck and started choking her. Her legs were in the air dangling and her eyes been closing fading open to closing.


    STAY WITH ME Megumi! Enjo exclaimed. "Your next!" The other guard said as he started walking toward Enjo. So Enjo reached in and tried to punch the guard, but the guard is automatically behind Enjo back facing back. The guard whispered "too slow." If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    He then elbowed Enjo to the back as Enjo fell to his knees, the guard began lifting his foot towards Enjo. His talon claw like boots were pointed at Enjo¡¯s throat, as he swayed his foot back, and then bringing it forward about to cut his neck. Megumi barely still awoke seeing what¡¯s happening to Enjo. She¡¯s still trying to breathe, but she can¡¯t reach, at her throat. She remembered her grandmother gave her something for good luck.


    It was around her neck under her attire she reached, and kept reaching until she found out it. All her strength about gone feeling as if she couldnt'' move a single muscle. The guard was about to swipe Enjo¡¯s neck she thought to herself "fight and move I must move."


    So that¡¯s exactly what she did Megumi snatched the charmed ornament from around her neck. The guards were about to finish off Megumi and Enjo, but it was like they saw a flash before their eyes. Enjo and Megumi could not see either, then this huge explosion came.


    Nothing but smoke, then after the smoke disappeared you could see Megumi, Enjo, Mr. Howkuu, and Yuuta all had this 3-corner crystal shield that was around them blocking visibility to them and anyone else. They could only hear what was going on around them. Mr. Howkuu then woke up and got up, Yuuta''s trench was uncovered and he got up.


    Also, Enjo got up, the guards were so furious that they both raised one of their legs up in the air, then striking Megumi''s chest trying to break the crystal-like material. Both of the guards cut their feet, and they fell to the ground. Their legs started turning into that crystal like material.


    They both said simultaneously "WE MUST GET BACK NOW!" Then the guards got up hooking arm to arm they ran fast as they could back to The Village of Divinity.

 Chapter 26- Lucky Mistake

    "No it sounds like their getting away!" Megumi exclaimed. Her art activated she took her skeletal arm and punched through the top of the crystal structure and made an opening. Then she looked at the rest of the group she took her arm and made these tiny triangular pointed tips on her skeletal arm through her hands and shot them at the rest of the group.


    It took the top of their crystal structures clean off as well. "Wow thanks Megumi" they said. "No don¡¯t thank me" as her art disappeared they got away she said. "That is fine we need to get back" Mr. Howkuu said. "I thought we were prepared for anything like this, but I was wrong if not for you Megumi we would all be dead."


    "On that note I owe it to all of you to make sure we make it back now safely and swiftly, also I owe your grandmother that promise." Mr. Howkuu said. "First we must find Tasyoukee!" Yuuta exclaimed. "That¡¯s right" Enjo said. So the group began walking back on the path in a quick pace. Walking down the path it was so dark the group could not see anything they were calling out for Tasyoukee. Mr. Howkuu said "it¡¯ll be all night until we find him it¡¯s so dark."


    Then they heard yelling, coming from the direction in front of them. There it was they saw a bunch crumbled rocks, and rubble. It was so many different directions of rubble.They didn¡¯t know which one to check first, and Tasyoukee¡¯s voice sounded faint. Yuuta closed his eyes, and he said "please Hushur help us find him." If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Then Yuuta''s hands started acting out not of his own will. Both his hands were put together only his thumbs touching, and his fingers pointing upwards making this sqaure opening in between his hands while his thumbs were touching. A blue light appeared in between his hands, and it was pretty bright. Everyone turned and looked at Yuuta, and asked how? Yuuta said "look there he is let¡¯s go get him."


    Mr. Howkuu couldn¡¯t believe what Yuuta was doing. They found Tasyoukee under a lot of rubble and rocks covered in his own blood and dirt. Enjo and Megumi helped him up, while Mr. Howkuu was asking Yuuta "how did you do that?"


    "I don¡¯t know it just happened" Yuutau replied. "YOU LOST SO MUCH BLOOD!" Megumi exclaimed. "Don¡¯t worry" Enjo said. Enjo took one of the rocks and carved open his arm a little. Then he activated his art, and dropped some of his blood on Tasyoukee, miraculously he healed instantly. Then Enjo¡¯s art disappeared "how did you do that?" Megumi asked. "I found out it seems I can heal a lot faster depending on how much pain I take in." Enjo said.


    "Isn¡¯t that dangerous?" Tasyoukee said. "That is quite right" Mr. Howkuu said. "You shouldn¡¯t be injuring yourself that much, we could¡¯ve waited for him to slowly heal, that¡¯s enough talk let¡¯s get back." As the group got Tasyoukee they continued back on their path back to the village.


    Yuuta asked Mr. Howkuu "do you think those guards will come after us in our village." "Hmm I don¡¯t really know, but we have to continue are training to stay prepared" Mr. Howkuu replied.


    "That was good work from you guys today you guys were amazing, if it was not for all of you we would all be dead." He also said. "Well to be honest sir" Megumi said. "Hmm." He uttered. "It was my grandmother who saved us, her charmed ornament saved us."

 Chapter 27- A Test of Durability

    "Oh really?" "Yes I reached for it while they were attacking Enjo, and me." "Astounding we must thank her when we get back" Mr. Howkuu said. They could see the village we made it back, as they approached the gates Mr. Howkuu fell to the ground inhaling and exhaling really fast.


    Grabbing at his heart, "what¡¯s wrong sir the group" asked him, but he couldn''t respond. The four grabbed Mr. Howkuu¡¯s arms and basically had to drag him inside the gates. So Megumi ran and got the Ishi, while they stayed with him. The Ishi came out and grabbed Mr. Howkuu and helped him inside the Sanitorium. The Ishi told the four "comeback later for an update, we will take him in now as in critical condition."


    So the four left "where do we go now you guys?" Enjo asked. "Hey you all come over to my grandmother¡¯s home "Megumi replied. "OK" they all said. As they approached Ms. Ai¡¯s home she saw them coming and she ran grabbed Megumi and hugged her.


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    "What happened, why are you so late, and where is your teacher?" She asked. "Calm down grandmother" Megumi replied. "Calm down you want me to calm down!?" She exclaimed. "OK grandmother I¡¯ll tell you let''s go and talk in the kitchen, so I can calm you down." Fine she replied. "Come on in you guys" Megumi said.


    As they all went inside Megumi told them "I¡¯ll be in the kitchen talking my grandmother." OK they replied. "How dare you tell me to calm down coming back through those gates during the dawn of day." "I should tie you up in your room and keep you there that¡¯s what I should do!"


    Her grandmother exclaimed. Megumi walked up and hugged her "I¡¯m fine grandmother" she said. "Your charm kept us safe, from anything." "So you ran into no trouble?" Her grandmother asked. "No mam" She replied. Knowing that not only her life was in jeopardy but her friends as well. She couldn¡¯t put her grandmother through that so she kept quiet about that.


    As they were in the kitchen talking the other three were in her living room talking about what happened. "How did you guys find me?" Tasyoukee asked. "It was Yuuta" Enjo said. "He made a light with his hands."


    "Hmm you seem to show up at the most peculiar times." Tasyoukee said. "What is that supposed to mean?" Yuuta asked. "To make it simple and not that hard for you, when out their risking our lives to save not only ourselves but the village and you we need some type of support from you."

 Chapter 28- Turmoil In The Legendary Oskata

    He replied. "Hey! "He did help us" Enjo said. "I did help, and tried to stop them" Yuuta said. "Humph your help is equal to just standing there and breathing." Tasyoukee replied. "Let¡¯s take this outside!" Yuuta said. "Fine!" "He replied."


    They both went outside then Enjo followed them closing the door silently. As the sun was rising Yuuta and Tasyoukee were still arguing, and Enjo tried to tell them to both calm down they are going to wake the elders up. No one seemed to care but Enjo, so the two ran at each other still arguing, and Yuuta punched Tasyoukee. Tasyoukee returned the favor punching him in his gut. Then Yuuta tackled Tasyoukee to the ground they were rolling and turning punching each other in the face.


    Yuuta rolled on top of him punching his face over and over. Then Tasyoukee grabbed under Yuuta''s armpits and took his left leg and kicked Yuuta off the top of him then Tasyoukee said "your pitiful you don¡¯t even have art why the hell are you apart of this class anyway?" "I know you love Megumi, but you¡¯ll never have her over me."


    "I know that¡¯s how you trigger you art" Yuuta said. "Ohh so that¡¯s how" Enjo said. "Shut up fool!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. "You want to talk about my art fine then I¡¯ll show it to you." He said. "No you wouldn¡¯t?" Enjo asked. "He wants to fit in with the tough guys, humph let¡¯s just see how really tough you are." Tasyoukee said.


    So Tasyoukee closed his eyes and activated his art, then opened them and he had a pair of Cheetsow Ku Yai fighting gloves they were white. "Your tough c¡¯mon show me" as Tasyoukee walked toward Yuuta. Yuuta closed his eyes and said "please Hushur lend me your strength." Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    Yuuta felt this fiery strike up his arms, then then he felt the blood in his veins were boiling he opened his eyes. He had blue lines on his arms in the place anyone¡¯s normal veins would be. Then shaped around  his hands look like blue Cheetsow Ku Yai gloves. Now it¡¯s Yuuta who started walking towards Tasyoukee. "Wait you guys you don¡¯t have to do this" Enjo said. "You both are very important to this group."


    "It¡¯s too late for that" Yuuta said. Tasyoukee then took this very diligent fighting stance he¡¯s been working on. He then lunged at Yuuta hitting him on the left cheek with a jab, then right cheek jab, and then uppercut to his chin. Yuuta''s head flew upwards from the uppercut when he brought it back down his nose was bleeding. "You guys" Enjo pleaded. "That¡¯s the best you got?" Yuuta asked. With a surprising right hook.


    He knocked Tasyoukee to the ground his lip had a little blood dripping. So Tasyoukee flipped back up and hit him rapidly left hand punch to the gut right punch to the gut, and he kicked him to the gut. Stumbling backwards Tasyoukee¡¯s goes in for a knockout with another uppercut, but he missed.


    Yuuta''s head down with his hands in front of his face his eyes looked at Tasyoukee, and he smirked. Next he side stepped Tasyoukee moving his left foot behind Tasyoukee¡¯s foot and he punched Tasyoukee right in his jaw falling to the ground.


    "I¡¯m still not impressed" Tasyoukee said. So Tasyoukee flipped up once more. This time he had a plan he ran at Yuuta and he faked a down low sweep kick, he indicated it by going down low trying to sweep him. Yuuta put his hands down low leaving everything else open for discussion. So when Tasyoukee swept down, he had his right arm down and he then tried to uppercut Yuuta again.


    He succeeded the plan worked, but had no effect Tasyoukee looked at Yuuta and he couldn¡¯t believe it. His hand connected with his chin still there. Yuuta just cracked his neck turning his neck.

 Chapter 29- Past Transgressions Become New Weapons

    Then Tasyoukee felt this burning pain in his hand he dropped his arm from Yuuta''s chin. He looked at Yuuta out of fear "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?" He asked. "Your right I was wrong your definitely apart of this group, your power is unmatched."


    As Tasyoukee¡¯s art disappeared, Yuuta''s powers seemed to disappear as well. They both fell to their knees. Then Megumi and her grandmother went outside. "What is going on?" Her grandmother asked. "Nothing." Enjo said. "They just needed some fresh air." He said. "Come on in then I just got done making some tea."


    As they got up both of them shook hands, and then Yuuta pulled Tasyoukee¡¯s arm and gave him a hug. Tasyoukee asked "is this necessary?" Yuuta told Tasyoukee "we can never fight again, we are too great of the Wakai to sink to petty squabble." "Fine I agree" Tasyoukee said. They began going back in Megumi''s home, "whew that was a close one you guys." Enjo said.


    "Here you all go" Ms. Ai Said. "So, Mr. Howkuu must have been really tired to skip out on my tea?" Ms. Ai asked. "Why yes mam" Yuuta said. "Well I''m going to get me a little snack, do you boys want something, Megumi?" Ms. Ai asked. "No mam." They all responded. When she came back from the kitchen talking, she had a game for them to play, but they were all sleep including Megumi.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Ms. Ai couldn¡¯t believe how fast they all went to sleep. She had to run an errand, in the Village of Thaumaturgy so she left a note saying she would be back. After a lot of time had passed the four finally woke up and they ran to the sanitorium it was the middle of the day.


    They went in and asked for the Ishi, so he came out and told them that "Mr. Howkuu¡¯s condition was very critical and if you guys didn¡¯t bring him in fast as you did he could¡¯ve died." Mr. Howkuu came walking behind the Ishi with a cane. They all asked "what was wrong with him sir", "well he had a tremendous amount of poison in his system not his blood."


    "Usually it would¡¯ve flowed through his blood and killed him soon enough, but instead it was in his system in his nerves breaking his body." "Slowly disabling him, could have even caused him brain damage." "Well, sir who would even use something like that?" Mr. Howkuu asked.


    "Well from my research that was poison that hasn¡¯t been used for centuries." The Ishi said. The group dropped their heads, "you have to be kidding me." Mr. Howkuu said. "So, your telling me I was sick from poison that was made before I was even born?" He asked.


    "Well quite frankly that is disturbing that I have to say this but, yes you were poisoned by something that hasn¡¯t been used since ancient times." "Stincerz Poison is the name of it", "where did that name come from? Mr. Howkuu asked."

 Chapter 30- Seeking Membership From The Legendary Oskata

    "Well it was a man that everyone called Stincerz because he loved playing with Stincerz in the water he never ate them." "He just always caught them with his bare hands and threw them back in the water." "One day Stincerz got really sick, and started becoming very deranged."


    "Then he later died in a week they tried to get him help in the sanitorium they could never find any." "Later those of the council came back to retract his blood, and they used it to form a deadly weapon." "The smallest drip of blood could enter your system, and that would be enough to not only slowly disable, suffer, but kill you." Interrupting him "what was time frame of this poison?" Yuuta asked.


    "Well this was around the time after the witches saved the elders from the demons of Jigoku." "That poison was used for witches and only those who were perceived to be a witch, they did discover some witches." "However for those who were not witches the poison was impossible to extract, and it was too late to save them." "Somehow the council members covered it up, and made it look like regular deaths."

    "Then came the Witches¡¯ Return, and legend has it the man that died that day served as a lesson, and a warning to those who dare practice on those who are human." "Also to those that were witches that if any harm were to come to any witch again they would do a lot more than what was shown that day."


    "That was an understatement to them." "Well thank you sir for that invaluable information!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "Now group I think we should go get something to eat" he said "Yes sir" They replied. As they started walking away "remember Salul don¡¯t anything to spicy" The Ishi said. "OK roger that" he replied. As they were walking to the escoolur, "so you mean to tell me you were poisoned by something that shouldn¡¯t even exist anymore." Tasyoukee said.


    "As strange as that may seem we have to read those books, where are they?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Home." Megumi said. "OK we will go there after we finish eating." "We have to understand who we were dealing, or what we were dealing with" Mr. Howkuu said.


    As the group sat down, "now, let¡¯s discuss plans, further things we need to accomplish as a group if we''re to ever come into combat again." "THE LEGENDARY OSKATA should not be struggling to fight for their lives, even though you guys did strategize right in that crucial moment." "We are going to need multiple ways of stopping or disabling a foe." Mr. Howkuu said. "Right!" Yuuta exclaimed.


    Then there came Kenta walking inside the Escoolur, and sitting down at the same table as the group. "What could you possibly want?" Tasyoukee stated. "I¡¯m here because I want to join you all and be in your group." He said.

 Chapter 31- The Great Supika Vanished? Or Gone

    "What group what makes you think we possibly have a group?" He asked as he began to sweat. "Well for starters all you guys hang out together, I see you all everyday walk in this village talking about something including you Mr. Howkuu." He replied.


    "Well you know I expelled you from my class Kenta for trying to bully another student" Mr. Howkuu said. "I know I will always feel very ashamed for that and truly disgusted, but I have apologized sir." He said. "I know you all left the village yesterday, and went to the Village of Divinity." "Thus, you all didn¡¯t return until dawn, and you Mr. Howkuu were badly ill." Kenta said.


    "How do you know so much?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "With my art, I learned a new trick ability a day after you guys saved me from myself" Kenta said. "Yourself you really are delusional" Tasyoukee said. "Shush." Megumi said.


    "Go on"¡­ Mr. Howkuu said. "Well I noticed that my eye could see through all objects, but not organisms." "That is how I saw you guys. I heard Megumi''s grandmother, that day saying goodbye." "Then my jolted eye opened and it was like I could see in a tunnel of past moments that recently happened." "I saw that you guys were on the path to the Village of Divinity."If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    "That still doesn¡¯t explain how you knew I was badly i''ll." Mr. Howkuu said. "Well when you guys were coming back through the gates I heard you guys asking Mr. Howkuu was he OK." Kenta said. "That¡¯s a bunch of seapus" as Tasyoukee threw his Habinge cup on the ground and started walking out. "Wait!" Mr. Howkuu said as he ran after Tasyoukee.


    "You¡¯re not going to take him serious." "Is that what you¡¯re going to do now take everything as a joke Tasyoukee?" He asked. The others told Kenta "not now, we¡¯ll talk about this some other time", and then followed Mr. Howkuu and Tasyoukee outside. "OK." Kenta sighed. "Let¡¯s go back to my home and discuss this" Megumi said. "Fine" as, they return to Megumi''s home they saw her grandmother was still not home.


    The note said she would be back soon, and it¡¯s almost sunset. Megumi said. "Where could she have possibly gone?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I don¡¯t know I was usually out in the courtyard when my grandmother left to run errands." "Look around everyone to see if she took anything with her!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. They looked everywhere and everything still seemed to be in place. "Nothing is out of place, she didn¡¯t even take a cup of tea with her."


    "That meant she would usually be right back unless something happened to her." "Oh, my goodness what do we do?" Megumi worriedly exclaimed. "Calm down, just think of places she would go" Yuuta said. Walking around with her hand on her forehead worrying ''"she could be in a village she¡¯s well known in" Megumi replied.


    "Well the only way we can do this is by going back to try finding Kenta, and asking for his help" Mr. Howkuu suggests. "NO WAY!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. "Please!!" Megumi begged. "Fine." He replied.

 Chapter 32- Falling On Your Enemys Shoulder

    The group made their way back to the escoolur nobody saw Kenta. "C¡¯mon you guys let''s head over to his home" Mr. Howkuu suggested. "Wait you know where he lives?" Enjo asked.


    "Why yes I know where all my students live now let us commence forward." "Wow he stays here?" Enjo asked. "It''s quite spooky"as Megumi interrupted. "That¡¯s a big house" Yuuta said. "Now move it we need find out where he is" Mr. Howkuu said.


    "Where is that slick devil", he said. Kenta was roughly 5¡¯9 three inches taller than Tasyoukee who was 5¡¯6 slim lean. Enjo was 5¡¯5, Megumi 5¡¯2 , and Yuuta was 4¡¯8. As they walked up to his home the group saw that Kenta¡¯s door has been slid open already. Mr. Howkuu took one step inside and saw everything had been trashed.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Stay outside you guys" Mr. Howkuu said. He then went inside to check around he saw nobody was home. So he went up to the second floor to make sure, and still nothing like it was a break in. Mr. Howkuu came back outside "he¡¯s not here" he said. "May we go in I have never seen a house so big?" Yuuta asked.


    "No we will not trespass any further" Mr. Howkuu said. As they walked back through the courtyard they saw Kenta coming from the school. "Hey!" Mr. Howkuu yelled out. He turned around and saw that Mr. Howkuu was calling him. He started walking toward Mr. Howkuu "yes?" He asked. "We need your now!!" Megumi blatantly said. "What is it?" He replied.


    "My grandmother is missing can you help us find her please?" "I didn¡¯t hear your grandmother earlier when I saw her heading to the escoolur." He said.


    "Does that trick only work by sound" Mr. Howkuu asked. "What if we have something of hers recently will that help?" Megumi asked. "Won¡¯t hurt to try." He replied. "So they ran to Megumi''s home and went inside they sat down on the floor.


    "This is the letter she left behind" as she hands it to Kenta. He began reading the letter a couple of minutes went by after he read it and nothing. "Well!?" Megumi asked.

 Chapter 33- The Newest Member of The Legendary Oskata

    "Nothing, I can¡¯t see anything it¡¯s not working" he replied. "Do you think it¡¯s another way to try and find her?" Yuuta asked. "I can try one more thing" he said. He began reading the letter out loud "still nothing" he said. "That¡¯s the best you can do" Tasyoukee said. "Stop dude!" As Enjo hit Tasyoukee in the back of the head.


    Megumi got up and walked to the kitchen crying. As well Yuuta got up and said "I¡¯m going to go and talk to her." "Oh no you won¡¯t" Tasyoukee said. They began arguing over who got to console Megumi. Then Kenta just sat there with his head dropped feeling useless and pitiful.


    All of a sudden his hair started growing and that dominant creepy black purple aura came around him. "Noo not now please not now" Mr. Howkuu begged. "Please tell me what I¡¯m seeing is not what I think it is" Enjo said. "Why yes he¡¯s activating his art again in front of us" Mr. Howkuu said. As Tasyoukee and Yuuta noticed they stopped fighting.


    Then Megumi walked back to them while wiping her face full of tears "what¡¯s going on?" She asked. "His art." Enjo said. Kenta opened his eyes then looked up, and Mr. Howkuu jumped up and said "everybody take formation." This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    So they all begun to circle around him. "I¡¯m not going to attack you guys I have control now" Kenta said. Still encircling him they replied "OK then what are you doing." "I¡¯m going to try one more thing, and hope that it works." Kenta handed the letter to Megumi. "Drop the letter in the palm of my hands when I tell you OK" he said. He rubbed his hands against his legs, and then opened his palms "now." He said.


    Megumi slowly dropped the letter in his palms then he began closing his eyes. After a couple of seconds a fire erupted in his hands, they couldn¡¯t believe it. "NOO!" Megumi exclaimed "what are you doing" as she reached in to grab the letter it instantly disintegrated. Kenta opened his eyes again, and he had nothing but ashes in his hands from the letter.


    "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?" Megumi asked. He told her to look closer at his hands, the ash faded into his hands and made a small mini map to what seemed to be her grandmother¡¯s location. "How long will that stay?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I don¡¯t know but we will have to hurry as his art disappeared" he replied. They grabbed Kenta and began leaving Megumi''s home.


    They started opening the gates, and began running "which way?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "This way" he responded they started heading north down a very long dusty trail as the sun started going down. "OK you guys remember formation in case of anything" Mr. Howkuu said.


    "Right!" They replied. "Oh and also for this task Kenta is apart of the group for now" he said. "Are you serious?" Tasyoukee asked. "Not now we don¡¯t have time for petty squabble" Yuuta said. "What is the name of your group anyway?" He asked.


    "For now you are a part of The Legendary Oskata we don¡¯t have time to teach you the formation, but you will fit immediately" Mr. Howkuu replied.

 Chapter 34- Time Is of The Essence

    "This trail, so this is where she went but with all the time that has passed." "She knew the consequences of a late night." "What are you talking about?" Megumi asked. "The path this trail is to the Village of Thaumaturgy we must pick up our speed and run faster" Mr. Howkuu said.


    So the group begun running fast as they could, the moon came out and it was full that night. The wind was picking up and leaves were shaking "Tasyoukee is that you?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "No sir." He replied. "Keep running you guys it¡¯s a full moon and something does not feel right tonight." While running Megumi stumbled over her feet and fell to the ground. "Megumi what happened are you OK?" Yuuta asked. "Yes I¡¯m fine." She replied.


    She got up and they began running again "don¡¯t worry about me let¡¯s keep going" she said. Kenta felt a burning sensation in his hand. "Oww ouch!!" He exclaimed. "What¡¯s wrong?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "My hand it¡¯s burning" "here sit down right here", when he opened his hand the burning had stopped.


    "It looked like the fire was trying to erase the map" Mr. Howkuu said. "Look there is something written over it like an orange burned line mark showing where to go on the new map edged into my hand." Kenta said. Then the orange burned light disappeared, and it was dark again the moon was not bright enough to see his hand. "Yuuta could you help?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I can try." He replied. With both hands at his side, he closed his eyes "what is he doing?" Kenta asked. "Be quiet he¡¯s focusing." Megumi said. "His art?" He asked. "NO!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "What he has is far more complicated then what we can possibly understand."


    Then Yuuta opened his eyes looked down at one of his hands and thought to himself. Hushur please help me in assisting my friends. Then his left hand started glowing blue he walked up to Kenta and held his hand over his. "Thanks now I can see" but as Yuuta was doing that what seemed like little blue crystal flakes started falling from his fingertips. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    "What in the seapus is going on!" Yuuta exclaimed. He moved his hand away from Kenta and took a step off the path to the side. Then he let the crystal flakes drop on the ground. He also took a step backwards back on the path. The flakes started to float up off the ground.


    Then they started flying in the air fluttering around Yuuta as he swayed his arms and hands in the air they would not move. Then more of those flakes started forming detaching itself from those in front of Yuuta. Enough to flutter around the entire group soon enough they were around Kenta. "What is going on?" Kenta asked.


    The flakes began piercing itself in the middle making a small hole in themselves. Then a blue light shot out from all the flakes everything was lit up like the courtyard at night. "Wow!" "That is truly amazing!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed.


    "We have now time for gratitude are you able to read the map on your hand now?" Yuuta asked. "Yes." He replied. "It doesn¡¯t seem like we¡¯re too far away from there either." So Kenta got up and they began running again in that direction they keep forward until they come to a splitting of pathways. "Which one do we take left or right?" Megumi asked. "Right." He replied. So, they then turn to the right and head on that path.


    Something felt very alarming to Mr. Howkuu about the path. "Are you sure this is the right path?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Yes." Kenta replied. As they were walking they begun to notice a lot of trees were down that path. These trees are unfamiliar to Mr. Howkuu he began feeling very weary. The trees are dark black with their branches sticking out swinging upwards.


    The branches were black as well and the leaves were red. "Mr. Howkuu are you alright!?" Yuuta asked. As he saw Mr. Howkuu fall stumbling backwards to the ground grabbing his head. "I¡¯m fine." He replied as he tried getting up he fell right back down. "Do you think it¡¯s Stincerz Poison?" Megumi asked. "No, it can¡¯t be we took care of that." He replied. "Look over there it¡¯s a Slooping Slew Rize." Enjo said. The three-legged bird sat there perched on one of the branches in the tree.

 Chapter 35- Tedious Times

    When on their feet a Slooping Slew Rize can stand at six feet tall. "I wonder how long that bird has been there watching you" Enjo said. "They can see far as twenty-five feet away" He replied.


    "Wow, So, it¡¯s no telling how long that bird was watching you" Tasyoukee said. Megumi ran at the bird shaking her hands "SHEW!" "GO AWAY!" She exclaimed. The bird left the branch and flew to the ground confronting Megumi. Yuuta, and Tasyoukee slowly walked up her behind her to stand with her. She stuck her arm out backwards and told them "NO! don¡¯t come any closer stay there."


    The bird slowly walked towards Megumi with its head down. Walking towards her the bird¡¯s feet were rotating leg after leg after leg in that motion. The bird finally reached her and slowly looked up at her and its eyes was purely white with no pupil or anything else. Megumi was feeling enraged that she was wasting time she needed to find her grandmother so her art activated.


    Her left arm changed skeletal then this vibrant Pink aura arose around her. She took her arm and covered her face soon as she was about to strike the bird, "NO DON¡¯T!" Mr. Howkuu yelled out. The bird disappeared before her very eyes. "Did you guys see that?" She asked. "We needed to learn more about that bird now he got away" Mr. Howkuu said.

    "Hey, your back on your feet" Enjo said. "Why yes, I am." He replied. "It seemed when Megumi took the bird¡¯s view away from you to her you started to feel better." "Yes it seems the eyes of the Slooping Slew Rize was affecting you Mr. Howkuu" Tasyoukee said. "Yes I guess you¡¯re right." He replied. "Sorry you guys but we have no time to chit chat about this let¡¯s go." Megumi said desperately.


    So they began picking up the pace again fast as they could down the path. Then come to a halt as they saw a bunch of boulders in the way preventing them from going any further. "NO NO NO NOT NOW!" Megumi exclaimed. "What do we do you guys?" Enjo asked. "Well we obviously can¡¯t go this way" Tasyoukee said. "Unlessss Yuuta"¡­ Mr. Howkuu was implying. "I can try" he said. He closed his eyes and asked "please give me strength Hushur."


    Then once he put his hand on the boulder trying anything he could think of. The boulder instantly singed his hand and fell backwards to the ground. "Yuuta!" Megumi cried out. "Let me give it a shot ahey" Tasyoukee said. So then he activated his art, and thought about his sword, he then struck the boulder.


    Unfortunately the boulder wasn¡¯t fazed and his sword broke on the contact. "Impossible!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. Furthermore Megumi activated her art and decided she should give it a shot. So she did and lunged with her skeletal arm and punched the boulder. When she collided with the rock her skeletal arm became like a shell and completely cracked.


    "NO we don¡¯t need this right now please"¡­crying she said. "We should just turn around and go the other way" Mr. Howkuu said. So they got up and turned around and saw this woman standing in front of them. Slim 5¡¯5 long dark brown hair running all the way down her back.


    She had a black garment wrapped over her arms covering her arms as if she was carrying something. Also black pants that had outskirts on them with pockets for whatever was needed. "EVERYONE ASSUME FORMATION!" Mr. Howkuu said.

 Chapter 36- Mysterious Woman and Her Dark Presence

    Their formation was unique the formation consisted of many things. Enjo was at the very back out of harm¡¯s way. Megumi was to the front line with her aggressive prowess, and Tasyoukee in the middle. As the second to come after or right in collision with Megumi. Mr. Howkuu was right after Tasyoukee but Kenta took that place for right now so he was after him.


    Kenta''s role was to be after Tasyoukee for the most devastating attack he could serve if those two fell first. Then if that didn¡¯t work Mr. Howkuu would serve as a decoy, and then Yuuta would be the secret weapon TheFirst of Wakai. Of course protecting Enjo at all cost was on Yuuta who has proven that he can save not only Enjo but the entire village so the trust lies within him as well.


    As they took formation the woman started walking closer and closer. Until she was within a foot beyond them then she extended her hand. Megumi extended hers out to engage in a handshake "no what are you doing?" Mr. Howkuu asked. Undermining what he said she continued forward and commenced with the handshake. The woman¡¯s eyes rolled in the back of her head and her eyes looked just like the Slooping Slew Rize. "Her eyes" Yuuta said.


    "Yes they¡¯re just like the bird¡¯s" Mr. Howkuu replied. Then Megumi''s eyes started rolling back slowly "wait what¡¯s going on?" She asked. "Megumi!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. He started pulling on her arm but he couldn¡¯t move her arm or hand. It¡¯s like she was stuck in place. Then the woman let go after seconds, Megumi pulled away. "What did you do to me?" She asked. The woman turned around and started walking away. Megumi ran after her and pulled her shoulder "hey don¡¯t you hear me?" She asked. This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    The group quickly surrounded the woman "you¡¯re not going anywhere lady" Enjo said. "We just want some answers" Mr. Howkuu said. "If she¡¯s not going to give us any answers I say we take them from her" Tasyoukee said. "Right!" Kenta exclaimed. While they were trying to convince her into giving an explanation Yuuta jumped in and tried grabbing her.


    Disturbingly she heard him and turned around and dipped into her pockets on her outskirts. Nevertheless she was prepared whatever it was she grabbed. She had to have it in case of emergency. She looked at Yuuta and then with the hand she had the dirt, misted, supplements she opened it, and it sprinkled from her fingers onto him. She then said "Eesta Soom Sai." The dirt like misted supplements began to spread from Yuuta to the rest of the group.


    Blinding the entire group she slowly walked away, all of them yelling "I can¡¯t see." "Where did she go?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "We don¡¯t know." They replied. Looking up Megumi seeing more than one representation of everyone else.


    Tasyoukee saw everyone looking orange, green, red, etc. of colors. Yuuta can¡¯t even hear or see he¡¯s truly blinded. Enjo was unconscious on the ground, Kenta was sweating rapidly talking very fast, and Mr. Howkuu was not adept to what everyone was saying. Pretty much he usually was very responsive to what everyone said or he listened.


    Yuuta couldn¡¯t believe it that they were all disorientated and that this might get worse than what it is. Out of nowhere he heard a voice in his head and closed his eyes. "NO! THE DEAD CANNOT JUDGE THEMSELVES!" "HUSHUR!" Yuuta exclaimed.

 Chapter 37- Finally The Village of Thaumaturgy

    "Yes it is me, heed my rules Yuuta don¡¯t let this be the rule you have forsaken." Then he opened his eyes his hands had light blue orbs in them and his body began floating shortly shooting up in to the sky afterwards like a missile.


    Those orbs flew out and shot from his hand when he was in the air. To all of his comrades, they attached themselves to his friends like glue and it was moving in a motion you only see when you watch the waves move at sea. Cleansing them of whatever was on them, and Yuuta assumed Hushur cleansed him as well he could hear perfectly, and his vision was very intact.


    After minutes the group was OK and began feeling normal again. So they all got up and asked Yuuta what happened? He told them that he didn¡¯t know, but assumed it was poison. They all tried gathering their energy, "do you still have that map on your hand Kenta?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Yes sir it is but it¡¯s slowy becoming indiscernible" he replied.


    "OK well lead us back to the other path that we should have taken" Mr. Howkuu said. They started walking back down the path and noticed that the trees began disappearing as they walked. "Do you guys see that?" Enjo asked. "Yes I wonder does it have to do with the lady we discovered earlier" Megumi replied. "We have no time for this!" Tasyuokee exclaimed. "Right." Megumi said. As they began running "I see it the path" Yuuta said. "Thank goodness the map is completely gone." Kenta said desperately.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    So gracious they finally reached it they started racing down the path. Running fast as they could they noticed a shooting star passing over them. Then a scream that was so boisterous came from in front of them. "Grandmother!!?" Megumi called out. "Hurry" as they picked up the pace even faster they finally saw the gate. So they ran fast as they could until they finally got there.


    They entered upon their own risk knowing they had not checked in with the one¡¯s who held recognition to those who stay in the village to serve and protect. "Wait don¡¯t we have to wait for someone to greet us?" Yuuta asked. "C¡¯mon!" Megumi exclaimed as she grabbed Yuuta''s arm. It was no one around once they entered in the front of the village. So they thought about scowering the village, but it was huge, bigger than the other villages.


    "This is going to take forever" Megumi said tiredly. "I may can help let me try something I¡¯m going to need you guys to encircle me and protect me." "For what?" Kenta blatantly interrupted.


    "No time for explanations just do what he said!" Megumi exclaimed. Very productively they did. Yuuta was enclosed in by his comrades he put his hands in a praying motion and bowed his head.


    "Isn¡¯t that one of the motions the two elder guards approached us with?" Enjo whispered. "Shut up we don¡¯t know that" Tasyoukee said. His mind clear, and in peace he asked Hushur to help his friends and him find Michiko Ai The Great Supika of Sorrow. After minutes of waiting for an answer the group began feeling edgy.


    Then a man walked out of one of the lookout towers and ran down stairs and approached the group. He asked them "what are you all doing here in the village without recognition?" "We are here looking for someone dear to us. Mr. Howkuu responded."

 Chapter 38- The Race Against Time

    "May I ask who it is you five are looking for" not counting Yuuta he was blended in well with the group against the wall. "Michiko Ai." Megumi interrupted and responded. "The Great Supika of Sorrow she¡¯s missing?" The man asked. "Yes, and we have reason to believe she has passed through this village" Mr. Howkuu said.


    "We have not seen her in almost a week" The man said. Then the man frantically started walking back up the stairs, and said "I will go check with the others." Out of nowhere that horrific scream entered the air again "GRANDMOTHER!!" Megumi cried out. Then the man ran upstairs and slammed the door behind him shut. "He knows something we have to go find out what" Megumi said. "No we can¡¯t right now we have to stay and protect Yuuta from any harm" Mr. Howkuu said.


    The man came back out after minutes and brought the others with him. They then confronted the group, "what are you doing to my grandmother?" Megumi yelled. "Come with us we will explain later" he said. "NO!! TELL US HERE AND NOW!" She replied. "Do they need to be subdued?" One of the other men asked. "Subdued?" Mr. Howkuu asked "for what we¡¯re simply looking for Michiko Ai."


    "That¡¯s enough you asked for it take them in by force." As they were about to attack them all everyone in the group activated their art. "Hmmm so you all are of the Wakai and you seem to be the teacher I assume." "I knew a day would come like this" the man said. "Best to be prepared in times like these" he said. Unaware of Yuuta''s movement with his eyes still closed he heard what was going on the entire time.


    He noticed that the man was reaching in his pocket the same way that woman was, and the man clinched his fist. He waited until Megumi got closer then proceeded to flick his hand open the same way that woman did. Enraged no one noticed except Yuuta. When the dirt mist like supplements flew from his fingertips it was too late already. Mr. Howkuu yelled "NO Megumi". The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    As Tasyoukee tried running and pushing her out of the way the it was a centimeter away from her face. Yuuta opened his eyes they were bright blue and circles started appearing around everyone in the group. "What is that?" One of the men asked. The group turned around "Yuuta" they said.


    He just slowly started walking towards the men then started walking past them. In another direction "I know where she is" Yuuta said. "She better not be hurt" he also stated. Everyone noticed that Yuuta had this very nasty frown on his face as well. "Remember that?" Enjo whispered to Tasyoukee. "Shut up." He replied. The men tried touching Yuuta and his hand turned to crystal like ash. "What is he?" The man said. "He cannot be of the Wakai." "Wrong he is the first of Wakai actually" Mr. Howkuu said.


    The group began walking past the men as well "you shall now recognize us as The Legendary Oskata" Mr. Howkuu said smirking as he passed them by. Yuuta turned the corner and started running towards a wall. "What are you doing?" Megumi asked. He ignored her and kept running the wall was enormous while running his eyes still opened he whispered to himself Hushur.


    Then He grabbed Megumi''s hand and told them to grab each other¡¯s hand. Amazingly Yuuta jumped up and cartwheel flipped over the wall and the rest of the group followed. Then they fell down into this pit full of sewage it looked dark, and it smelt like dead creatures were down there. "Impossible!" Megumi thought to herself,how is Yuuta doing all of this "no matter what I will you owe you my life for this."


    Next came another door they had to enter then down some stairs, following into a hallway "left or right?" Megumi asked. "It¡¯s a trick." He replied. "What!?" The group asked, Yuuta closed his eyes again and took a deep breath and walked forward at the wall in front of him.


    He placed his hand on the wall veins began showing on his forehead. He discovered a hidden door in plain sight, "wait did he create a door?" Enjo asked. "Hurry go inside!" Yuuta exclaimed.


    They all hurried in Yuuta following behind, the door closed shut disappearing in plain sight again. Disturbingly they saw nothing but cells, as if it were in a prison. Checking all of the cells "she¡¯s not here!" Megumi screamed. "It¡¯s more cell at the end of the hall hurry"  Mr. Howkuu said. "She¡¯s still not here!" Megumi said.


    "I thought you knew where you were going?" She asked Yuuta. "His art or whatever it is has been pushed to its'' limit" Mr. Hokwuu said. Interrupted by another wailing scream. "GRANDMOTHER!!!" She yelled.

 Chapter 39- Final Remarks!

    "Look it¡¯s something under the bed in this cell it looks like a hatch" Yuuta said. As he opened it he noticed a ladder "hurry you guys she has to be down here" he said. Surprisingly it was no one down there guarding anything as if it was evacuated nothing there.


    Then they saw this cell closed made of metal with shrine writing on the bars and a peep hole you slide open. Megumi ran to the cell looked in and she saw her grandmother. "GRANDMOTHER!" She yelled out. She couldn¡¯t open her eyes but her eyelids were struggling to open to let her know she was alive. Breathing slowly and deep she was in a very dire need of medical help. "GRANDMOTHER CAN YOU HEAR ME ARE YOU OK!?" Megumi yelled. "Do you think you can help her if we get this cell open Enjo?" She asked.


    "I don¡¯t know I don¡¯t see any cuts on her." "Do you not see all of that blood?" She replied. "Yes that¡¯s true but where is it coming from" Mr. Howkuu wondered. "Yuuta" she turned around and was going to ask him for help, but he was on his knees exhausted. "He can¡¯t Megumi" Tasyoukee said. "Why can¡¯t he, didn¡¯t he do everything else." She replied. "That¡¯s the point Megumi he has pushed it over his limit normally" Tasyoukee replied.


    "Fine as she activated her art I¡¯ll do it by myself" She said. "WAIT no Megumi!" Tasyoukee exclaimed. She lunged in to the cell door, her art disappeared soon as she collided with the door and she cut her arm really deep. "Enjo." Tasyoukee said. "I know I¡¯m on it already" he replied. "Wait that writing I think I might have noticed it at the library somewhere, it means something." "If I can remember we may be able to get her out of there" Mr. Howkuu said.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    "Remember please sir please." Megumi begged. Enjo walked over to Megumi bit his thumb and activated his art, and then dripped his blood onto her arm and the healing process began. He said "it may take some time because I didn¡¯t intend to immediately heal you saving that in case of emergency" he said. "I know and I¡¯m sorry." Megumi replied. "It¡¯s fine you were upset we all understand", then Megumi walked over to her grandmother.


    "Grandmother what did they do to you?" "Who did this to you" she asked. She was trying to respond to Megumi but her words were slurred. With the puddle of blood she was sitting in she decided to start spelling out what she had to say. She replied to Megumi by spelling "NOT THEY OR WHO", "BUT WHAT!" "What so it was not a human being that did this to you grandmother?" She asked.


    Michiko spelled out "SOMETHING WORSE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE." "What do you mean grandmother?" "SHE TOOK MY BLOOD!" "So it was a human being?" Megumi asked. Her grandmother stopped responding "GRANDMOTHER!" She yelled. Struggling to continue spelling out her words she spelled out one was last thing. "The Sacred Alleviate Council." "What is that grandmother!?" Megumi asked worriedly. "I got it!" Mr. Howkuu interrupted. "Traitors become sacrifices to the loyal." "What?!" Megumi exclaimed.


    The cell door vanished it didn¡¯t even open. All of them ran inside "Ms. Ai" "Are you OK?" They asked. "Grandmother spell something else please show them that you¡¯re OK, Enjo do your thing help her please." She said. "NO NO NO she¡¯s fine look waiving her grandmother¡¯s arm all around in the blood crying." "Enough Megumi she¡¯s gone!" Tasyoukee said as he grabbed her and hugged her.


    "I¡¯m sorry" Yuuta said. "It¡¯s not your fault" Mr. Howkuu said. Blatantly interrupted by Megumi "yes it is it¡¯s all your fault she died." "We need to plan on how were getting out of here" Mr. Howkuu suggested. "Right." Kenta said. "It¡¯s a tunnel behind her" Kenta said. "So she was trying to get out of here, and by doing it in plain sight hiding your body over the rubble."


    "You truly were smart and brave Michiko I¡¯m going to miss you." "She was trying to get out of here and I had no idea" Megumi said crying. They climbed through the tunnel all the way back up to digging through the dirt.

 Chapter 40- Rekindling Old Wounds

    "I guess she was too weak by then to even push through the dirt poor Michiko" Mr. Howkuu thought. Megumi pushed through the dirt and they made it out of the tunnel to the top and saw they were surrounded by men from all sides. "What are you doing here, what do you want, who are you, state your village," some of the men were asking.


    Feeling enraged "that¡¯s all you want to know we told you this earlier!!" Megumi yelled. "You all killed my grandmother!" She yelled. Her art activated. "Megumi you must calm down now" Mr. Howkuu said. "We don¡¯t have Yuuta for protection right now from this." "You guys can run I¡¯m not running they killed my grandmother and they will pay back what they took from me with their lives!" All of the men reached in their pockets after they noticed she was of Wakai and began reaching for that dirt misted supplement she assumed.


    "I know your tricks they won¡¯t work anymore" she covered her face with her skeletal arm. Then right when they took their hand out of their pockets her art disappeared. "What the heck!!" Megumi said. "What¡¯s going on?" Tasyoukee asked. "I don¡¯t know I can¡¯t activate my art" she said. Tasyoukee turned around and told Yuuta, Mr. Howkuu, Enjo, and Kenta watch her while I try fend them off." "What!? no" Mr. Howkuu said aloud.


    It¡¯s like Tasyoukee was moving at super speed, light speed soon as he turned around his art was activated and he covered his face again with that skeletal mask. He pushed Megumi out the way quickly as possible the men couldn¡¯t believe it, in a split second Tasyoukee closed his eyes and opened them he had white nun chucks in his hands swinging them back and forward everyone astounded by what they were seeing. Tasyoukee whipped his nun chucks through the group of men it hit seven to ten of them. Hitting them in the knee, face, chest, arm, some neck immobilizing them. In only a matter of seconds all the men were down for the count on the ground. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    Next they began running to the gate it had the same writing that was on the cell door that trapped Ms. Ai. "NO you have to be kidding me!" Mr. Howkuu said frantically. "Cant you do what you did a moments ago sir?" Megumi asked. "No this would take enormous time look at the size of this gate it¡¯s almost the same size from the Village of Divinity but a few inches higher."


    "We have no choice we will watch your back" Kenta said. As they were talking a lot more men ran out twenty to thirty of them. "Tasyoukee, Kenta!" Mr. Howkuu said. "Right we¡¯re on it." They replied. Tasyoukee threw his nun chucks and closed his eyes then opened them the nun chucks turned into a huge whip in midair. It was spinning and knocking down some of them, but no where near enough. "Kenta!" Tasyoukee yelled. "I can¡¯t activate my art" he said. "Why not?" Enjo asked. "C¡¯mon we need you now" Megumi pleaded.


    "Think of your brother don¡¯t forget how he suffered" Tasyoukee said. "Think of his last hours now!!" Tasyoukee yelled. Falling to the ground on all fours crying "no I don¡¯t want to think of that my brother suffering in his last days" Stop please. Kenta begged. "Now you¡¯re the only one left of your family, you couldn¡¯t save your mother, father, or brother now it¡¯s only you you¡¯re a coward."


    The men ran closing in on Tasyoukee, upset his heart feeled with sorrow losing all his hope feeling empty. The ground began to shake. "Tasyoukee you did it" Yuuta said. His eye changed and started jolting black and red lines going across it. His hair growing longer again.


    He looked up clinching the ground watching the man running at Tasyoukee and set him on fire. The man fell rolling on the ground near Tasyoukee  trying to put it out. Then Kenta slowly started to get up and looked at Tasyoukee.

 Chapter 41- Whats Happening

    Tasyoukee took a defensive stance. "Calm down" Kenta said so calmly and in despair "I know you had to that to help me activate my art." "We don¡¯t have time to talk right now you guys" as Enjo interrupted. A bunch of men were about to lunge in at the group in a split second Kenta produced a massive fiery wall made only of fire.


    The men fell back almost touching it with their arms they fell and watched the fire burn in front of their eyes sitting there. It didn¡¯t move, grow, or shrink. It was amazing how the fire stood still or moved whenever Kenta commanded it to. Beating his head against the gate Mr. Howkuu turned around, he saw the fiery light bounce off of the gate. "What in the world?" Mr. Howkuu muttered.


    The men got up and ran to another building inside the village, they came back out minutes later with some type of water. "Water won¡¯t work it will only make the fire disappear" Mr. Howkuu said. They took the water in the buckets and stood in a line together and began throwing it. The fire slowly started to disintegrate. "Impossible!?" Kenta said. "What type of water is that?" Tasyoukee stated. "I¡¯m only delaying them, I can¡¯t stop them from putting it out and that¡¯s with my art they are still affecting the fire" Kenta said.

    "We need to find another way out I won¡¯t have enough time to get this gate open" Mr. Howkuu said. "Where are we going to go sir?" Megumi asked. The fire got smaller and smaller than one man slid under the fire another, so forth, and so forth. The men started throwing these hard cold shackles with that same writing on them carved in. The shackles started latching onto the group Kenta and Tasyoukee¡¯s art disappeared.


    It prevented them from activating it period. Even Yuuta couldn¡¯t do anything he couldn¡¯t close his eyes and have a clear mind something was making so much noise every time he tried. "What are these?" Enjo asked. "I don¡¯t know, but stay alert" Mr. Howkuu said. The men grabbed them and started walking towards another building and one the men looked at Yuuta and smirked. "Not so tough now are you" he said. A Slooping Slew Rize just happened to fly in and sit on one of the buildings looking down at the men. Yuuta noticed the bird at first behind the men. Then he whispered "up there look above their heads." "Huh that bird again ahey" Tasyoukee replied. "What is it doing?" The rest of them asked.


    The eyes were the same when they encountered it earlier, white no pupil. One of the men fell to the ground feeling weak, and disorientated. Also the shackles on the group¡¯s hands began melting off as it was frozen on them.


    They didn¡¯t feel anything, "hey look"  one of the men pointed. The men looked and started rushing the group and started grabbing them by their collars. Unsuspectingly the men started falling to the ground like nothing they have ever experienced before.

 Chapter 42- Humongous Leap of Faith

    Then the bird left the building and flew away outside of the village. "NOW LET¡¯S GO!!" Mr. Howkuu said. Quickly they began running as fast as they could to the gate. Closing the gate behind them they streaked up the path way heading back to the Village of Sorrow.


    A woman met them soon as they turned and started heading back up the path. "It¡¯s that same woman" Tasyoukee said. "What do you want?" Mr. Howkuu yelled. "Your grandmother she was killed wasn¡¯t she?" The woman asked. "How do you know that?" Megumi asked. "So I¡¯m going to assume yes I was right I take it" she replied. "Do you know my grandmother?" Megumi asked


    "Michiko Ai everyone knew of her" she replied. "What do you want with us?" Enjo asked. "I was here to see if you all were of any threat to the Village of Thaumaturgy." "Now that I see you all aren¡¯t I am deeply sorry of your grandmother¡¯s passing." "I am partially to blame for her death since I was in your way of getting to her." "I will reveal who I am and tell you anything you want to know" she said.


    "Who are you?" Kenta asked. "My name is Cyree" She responded. "Come with me I will tell you guys everything" she also said. "Should we trust her?" Enjo asked. "I¡¯m with him on this one you guys" Tasyoukee said. "We have no choice but to trust her I need to find out what happened to my grandmother" Megumi said. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    "I kind of agree with the boys we don¡¯t know what this woman¡¯s true motives are" Mr. Howkuu said. "Well I will go by myself" Megumi said. As she started walking towards Cyree. "NO MEGUMI DON¡¯T!" Yuuta said as he grabbed her arm.


    Her art activated. So he grabbed her other arm Megumi looked down at his hand and her other arm turned skeletal. He quickly let go, "but how." "It must be her triggering affect whatever it is if you push it hard enough you can unlock further capabilities with your art" Mr. Howkuu said. "I agree with Megumi you guys when I lost my brother I felt hurt and terrible not knowing what killed him, and my family until I found out" Kenta said.


    "What!?" Tasyoukee said. So he began walking towards Cyree as well. As their walking Megumi grabbed Kenta¡¯s hand and told him "thank you" as she hugged him. Tasyoukee saw and he ran to catch up "hold on I¡¯m coming with you guys."


    "Well I guess we have no choice guys" Enjo said. Enjo started running behind them "wait up" he yelled. Mr. Howkuu looked down at Yuuta and told him "we¡¯re going but keep your eyes open and sharp as always we don¡¯t know this woman at all Yuuta after all you were the one who saved us before from her."


    "I can¡¯t ask the others of this but please watch out for us because there will be moments where I will have to show sympathy and empathy towards Megumi." "Just please do what is always right especially in favor of the group" Mr. Howkuu said. "OK I understand sir and I will" he replied. "Thank you Yuuta" Mr. Howkuu said. So they began walking towards Cyree as well "hold on we¡¯re coming too."

 Chapter 43- Its Only The Beginning of Yesterdays Past

    "Wonderful all of you can be there when I explain as well." Mr. Howkuu looked at Yuuta and shook his head. It reminded Yuuta of how his father use to shake his head the same way when he trusted him to do something. A small tear ran down Yuuta''s face as he shook his head too.


    When they reached Cyree She told them to stand in a circle, she began drawing a line from their heels to toes connecting each other¡¯s feet making out a weird symbol. Then she reached down to the ground and drew a small seven in the middle of the symbol. Next she stood on top of the seven in the middle of the group "bow your heads everyone."


    They did she began humming a certain tune, and the symbol began to glow out of nowhere a wall of purple static shot up from the ground standing over the group as if it was covering their backs and fronts. Everyone peeked out of one of their eyes and was so shocked by what they were seeing. "CLOSE YOU EYES!" Cyree said. So they did, and everyone felt this queasy feeling, they opened their eyes they were somewhere they have never seen and didn¡¯t know where.


    In split seconds Cyree took them somewhere that was no where near any of the villages. They began to question were they still in Serenual. Cyree was standing in front of the group telling them "we¡¯re here." "Here where?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "The Witches¡¯ Taikyaku" she replied. "What is that?" Enjo asked. "Basically this is where the witches ran to on that night of battle in Serenual of legend." Megumi interrupted and said. "I also noticed the small seven you drew on the ground are you a witch, wait are you one the 7 Deadly Witches?" Megumi asked.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.

    Cyree simply turned around and began walking towards nothing on this pathway then she waved her hand across the air like she was uncovering something. Out of nowhere everything showed up buildings, trees, plants, bridges, ponds, water, homes, a school. "Wowwwww" the entire group said. "Now let¡¯s go over to my home." As they were walking to her home they saw all of the unique things the very bloomed plants, wonderful fruits. The little kids running around, teenagers, men, women, and elders. Their clothing was very indigenous to those of Serenual ancient.


    "OK we¡¯re here" as they looked up they saw this enormous building "this is your home?" Enjo asked. "Let¡¯s go inside" she said. She opened the door it was amazing and stunning all the ancient ornaments decorations hanging around then the stairs went around spiraling there were so many stairs, "what¡¯s all the way up there? Kenta asked.


    "Come into the living room sit", "you call this a living room this is huge." Enjo said. She rolled out mats for them to sit on, and brought them some pillows. "Hmm you to don¡¯t have any questions" as she was talking to Yuuta and Tasyoukee.


    "Not any right now mam" they replied. Yuuta looked at Tasyoukee and nodded his head. As Cyree sat down on her mat they were blue as well very comfortable. "Now what are the questions that you all wanted to know" she asked them. "First of all how did you know my grandmother?" Megumi asked. "As I told you before everyone knew of The Great Supika of Sorrow" she replied.


    "Now if we are going to do this please give us more detailed information that you know we are looking for" Tasyoukee said. "OK I met your grandmother Michiko Ai years many years after what happened in Restaria." "Restaria?" Megumi asked.

 Chapter 44- Shedding Light On Secrets of The Great Supika

    "Excuse me, Serenual forgive my poor choice of words right now." "What happened in Restaria?" Megumi asked. Restaria is Serenual. Cyree replied. "Wait so what does that have to do with my grandmother?" Megumi asked. "Well you all know of The Witches¡¯ Return correct?" She asked.


    "Yes we do" Mr. Howkuu replied. "Well another important fact that people left out was The Battle for Restaria" she said. Interrupting her "so you mean to tell us that everything of legend was true with the witches and the return?" Megumi asked. "Yes." She replied. "But how my grandmother wouldn¡¯t have been born then?" She asked. "I met your grandmother years, decades, centuries later when she was young." "Wait?" "So you¡¯re a"¡­¡­. Enjo asked.


    "Yes a witch I am." She interrupted. "So your one of the Seven Deadly Witches?" Kenta asked. "No I am one of the thirteen witches who ran that night from the demons." "We felt so terrible and ashamed that we left our seven other sisters behind to fight by themselves" she said. "So you never went back or looked for them?" Mr. Howkuu asked.


    "Yes we looked for them in other places, but we never found them, and as in Restaria very bad things were happening then we knew we could never go back and show our faces trials were set in place." "So that¡¯s when we came back here and built The Witches¡¯ Taikyaku." "So the witches are all here?" Mr. Howkuu asked. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    "Yes the other 12 reside here as well" she stated. "What do you a witch still have to do with knowing my grandmother?" Megumi asked. Well Megumi¡­ Cyree took a long pause. Your grandmother too was a witch" she said. "What!?" "Impossible she would have told me if she was" Megumi replied. "Not if she felt your life could be in any danger." "See those 7 Deadly Witches, claimed they would come back and retrieve any witch that seemed fitting to them and nurture them into whatever they liked."


    "I¡¯m assuming that she did not want you to think that you were a witch, or have a prowess to be one." "Also I knew that you were of the Wakai from our encounter earlier" she said. "So is it possible that I am a witch?" Megumi asked. "I am not sure for certainty, your grandmother was only half a witch" "half!" the group interrupted.


    "Yes Michiko was half a witch and that is why she went to the Village of Thaumaturgy every other week." "That charm that was wrapped around her wrist that she later gave to you to wrap around your neck." "That¡¯s right" checking under her clothing for it, "it¡¯s not there don¡¯t bother" Cyree said.


    "That¡¯s what she was in the village for she was only half a witch so she was looking for help to charm the ornament again in case of emergency." "My guess is she did not find the help that she needed and ran into the wrong people" she said.

 Chapter 45- A Discomfort Feeling...

    The men there they were acting strange they knew something happened to my grandmother I could just feel it." "Also they had the same dirt misted supplements you were using as well" Megumi said. "I know." She replied.


    "Also when we found her she was trapped in a sacrificial enchanted cell, then after we left and tried to escape the men had enchanted cuffs." "What was going on!?" Megumi exclaimed. "I felt it too it had to be The Seven Deadly Witches, I didn¡¯t want to believe it but once I noticed the men arming themselves with shoustiss I knew it had to be true then."


    "Wait shoustiss what is that?" Tasyoukee asked. Everyone looked at Tasyoukee. "Now you want to ask questions, well OK" Cyree responded. "Shoustiss is a defensive potion made that is enchanted and turned into a solid once the carrier has poured it into his and only his pockets." "The potion is very dangerous its effects range from non-lethal to lethal." "Well if you knew this, why did you use that on us knowing what could happen?" Tasyoukee asked.


    "Well I knew you all were of the Wakai by the time I approached all of you and that you all would be able to withstand it." "Not only that I wanted to see were you all strong enough but also on the right side of things not looking to destroy anything or anyone." "As a witch it is my duty to watch over Serenual" she said. "Well if that is truly your duty how come you did not save my grandmother from being tortured to death!?" Megumi exclaimed.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    "I didn¡¯t know where it was happening the witches were using some strange spell to hide themselves among others from everybody else." "I don¡¯t know anyone who could have found her." "Well you¡¯re looking at the group who found her but it was too late" Megumi said. "Wait I know you all saw her cell but I didn¡¯t think you actually came face to face with her in her last seconds." "How did you all find her?" Cyree asked. "By a chance of luck" Megumi responded.


    "It¡¯s no one in Serenual that would have been able to find her if I couldn¡¯t, so your lying" she replied. "No I¡¯m not it was luck by chance" Megumi said. As they continued to talk the door opened in the front room, "hold on one minute let me go see who this is" Cyree said. As she walked back in with another woman "well you guys this a fellow sister her name is Suseenya."


    About the same height body build the only thing different was their hair color Cyree¡¯s was dark brown and Suseenya¡¯s was red. "Hello" Suseenya said. The group just waved back, "these are villagers from sorrow but most importantly the first of the Wakai my fellow sister" Cyree said.


    "Well my my this is an honor to meet all of you." "May I touch all of your shoulders?" She asked. The group looked at her very strangely "sure" Yuuta said. Mr. Howkuu looked at him in a very serious questionable manner. As Yuuta was the first shoulder she touched. "Well my sister has a gift that the rest of us don¡¯t she can read a person¡¯s character by touching their shoulder." Cyree said.

 Chapter 46- Much Needed Solace?

    "Hmm The actual first of Wakai, the youngest, and the most brave." "Also a mystery you are Yuuta. Next was Megumi hmmm "angry with not only yourself right now, but with others." "Nevertheless the daring, smart, and beautiful do right Megumi she said. After her Enjo "now you seem interesting, hmmm the whimsical, much loved friend, with your heart you care for everyone."


    Unfortunately Tasyoukee was next "now your tricky" she said. "A fighter of true love, will do what is necessary at all cost to save those near to you." "Also a person who questions their actions a lot." "Mr. Howkuu your next" Cyree said. "A man of many secrets, those who he teach really touch his heart." "You love all your students but your favorites are the five you have here now." "Last a man who has to save himself only from himself."


    "OK kid your last are you ready" as she smiled at Kenta. "Hmm weakened by a deep pain but blazing with a fiery passion for helping others." "Will do anything to help those he truly want connect with." "A person who has many regrets, and cannot sleep until he clear his mind of those demons."


    "Well did I nail it or what" she said. The group looking around at each other wondering and thinking wow. "She saw all of that in our shoulders?" "Well let¡¯s let them sit for a while and think about what happened, that is a lot to take in" Cyree said.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    "Oh my goodness your right, forgive me you guys." "Excuse us" Suseenya said. They walked out and closed the door to the living room. Sitting in silence for minutes staring at each other. "Wow that was awkward" Enjo said. "More like bizarre" Megumi replied. "How is that possible" Mr. Howkuu stated. "You can¡¯t even do that Yuuta can you?" He asked.


    "No sir I can¡¯t so witches are really that powerful, now I see why they set the trials in place." "That is terrifying power" Mr. Howkuu said. "Is it true what she said Kenta do you only go to sleep after clearing your mind of those demons from your family¡¯s past?" Megumi asked. "I¡¯d rather not talk about it" he replied.


    "Oh OK" she moved from her mat to his and hugged him. "No I¡¯m fine" as he shrugged her off. "Please Megumi let it be" he pleaded. "OK sorry" she replies. "It¡¯s OK I know your trying to help" he said. Blazing back in "are you all hungry?" Suseenya asked.


    "Why yes mam" Enjo responded. "C¡¯mon on over to the dining hall we shall introduce you to the other witches here" Suseenya said. As they got up and started following her Mr. Howkuu stopped Yuuta and grabbed his shoulder "remember", and nodded his head and he nodded his head back to him replying yes I remember.


    As they walked in the dining room the group noticed eleven other witches sitting down at the long elegant, eloquent table. Something was very unique about the table to Yuuta but he couldn¡¯t understand what it was. So they sat down and Cyree offered them a menu to look at and choose what they wanted. "Wow a menu we have nothing like this in the village" Enjo said.

 Chapter 47-Legend Was True: Introduction of The Witches

    Some of the other witches were chuckling from his remarks. "Quiet down you sound like a beggar from the village" Tasyoukee said. "Lets just all get the same thing so we can try it together shall we?" Mr. Howkuu suggested. "Sounds good" Megumi replied.


    We¡¯ll take the Blazing Sun Powered Fillet with a side of Moon raised Tarcnuts" Mr. Howkuu said. "And for your drink?" Cyree asked. "Oh that¡¯s right umm we will have some Spiraling Sparkling Water." "Coming right up, we will go prepare dinner for you all, while our sister introduce themselves to you" Suseenya said. As Suseenya walked away she winked at the sisters while walking through the door way.


    "I guess I should go first it would seem fitting, my name is Krysala" as she bowed to them. "It¡¯s an honor to meet you all of the Wakai. Krysala was about the same height as the other two in the kitcken and build, but she had short hair and it was gray.


    The second witch stood up and said "I will announce my name, it is Cordeenia." Her complexion was pale different from the others and she had Purple hair. As she bowed to them "it¡¯s an honor to meet you all as well." She said. Next came the third witch as she got up her hair touched all the way to the ground and her hair was black she was a little taller than Cyree.


    "My name is Itamilia" (Eye.Ta.Mill.Ya) she said as she gave a curtsy. Furthermore the fourth witch took a ferocious stance and said "my name is Kurena" she was the shortest witch in the group seen, but still around the same build as the others.


    Her hair was uniquely blonde and brown. "I am also honored to meet you all as well" as she took her seat. Moreover the fifth witch stood up and walked over to Tasyoukee intentionally and said "my name is Nikkoriyai" as she grinned. They noticed she was not like the other witches much younger around The Legendary Oskata¡¯s age group she was. Her skin beautiful and her eyes sparkled and gazed into Tasyoukee¡¯s eyes. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    Her hair would reach to her shoulders and her hair was dark blonde. Tasyoukee couldn¡¯t help but drool, her body and build was perfect to him a dream girl. As Nikkoriyai walked back to her seat she bowed and said "thank you for allowing me to meet you all", grinning. Then came the sixth witch she stood up and told them "my name is Eragantia" she had a bow in her head, a pink bow at that she was another young witch her hair was orange. She chuckled "thank you for allowing me to meet you as well" she said.


    She had the same height as Yuuta and build, so she was the smallest but her age was the question. That everyone was wondering as she took her seat back at the table. The seventh witch sitting at the head of the table stood up and said "my name is Bomezly" same build as most of the other witches with red wine hair though.


    The group noticed she took a stand with so much confidence as if she owned the place. "Thank you for allowing me to grace your presence" she said bowing her head. Feeling restless the witch next to her presumed it was her turn before Bomezly sat down and announced her name was Auroya she was the eighth witch. S


    he told them "thank you all for coming to meet me but the honor is all mine" same build as the other witches white hair and short as she took her seat. Picking up where they left off the ninth witch told the group who she was and her name was Sakuhina.


    She looked at the group individually one by one like she was taking pictures of them with her mind. Nothing different with this witch her hair was black short and curled. In awkward silence she placed herself back in her seat. Accordingly came the tenth witch sharing with the group her name was Abstalean.


    Everyone noticed she was pretty old looking, but was even more scared to guess her age. Giving them a nod "thank you for allowing me to see your faces and being able to meet those of the Wakai" she said slowly and in a scratchy voice. She then took her seat and the final witch arose. The eleventh witch stood up and she was the tallest of them all not young but not old either. She told them "my name is Wareeya."


    "I am the one who overlooks and looks after all of these fellow sisters." She then gave them a curtsy as well, "thank you for allowing me to meet you all as well." "We are the Thirteen Sisters of Akuma we were given that name by a wonderful group of people who helped us in our time of need" Wareeya said.

 Chapter 48- 7 Deadly Witches Power: Myth Or Legend

    "So you all don¡¯t consider yourselves a part of the twenty witches anymore?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Why no why would we, after what they did it was dishonorable to not only us but Restaria as well."


    "See witches hold a duty to protect people, we can¡¯t uphold that reputation." "If we have some of our fellow sisters who cannot show restraint, then lashing out on innocent people." "We do not condone that, we wanted to make peace with The Seven Deadly Witches, but they were nowhere to be found" Wareeya said.


    "Well don¡¯t you think they would come after you?" Yuuta asked. "Why he has spoken has he?" She replied. "Why yes we do fear sometime that they will come for us, but we just have to stay prepared at all times." "Those witches'' strength alone could destroy Restaria, excuse me Serenual" she said.

    "So if they''re stronger, how does that still compare to thirteen witches it¡¯s thirteen of you and seven of them?" Enjo asked. "Well for starters those seven that stayed behind that night were the most courageous sisters we have ever seen, but also the strongest."


    "One of them are equal to four of us so, you have seven of them its thirteen of us." "Say perhaps if each one of them fought against us." "One witch alone has the power of four witches, so you take all seven of them and they would equal to have the power of twenty-eight against thirteen."


    "Also take in the fact that their brave, those witches would not fear us at all compared to demons" Wareeya said. Coming back in with the food was Cyree and Suseenya "well well well what are we talking about now."


    "Don¡¯t quiet down because we are back now" Cyree and Suseenya said. "Nothing we just finished introducing ourselves" Wareeya said. "Wow this looks amazing!" Enjo exclaimed. "Why yes it does" Kenta added.


    Then Cyree and Suseenya took their seats, "well since were having dinner let¡¯s get to know each other some more" Suseenya suggested. "Yes sister." Cyree replied. "Tell us about yourselves", something didn¡¯t feel right to Mr. Howkuu and Yuuta as they looked at each other.

 Chapter 49- The Introduction of The Legendary Oskata

    "Well"¡­ as Kenta stood up and began to talk. "No" the two sisters interrupted "let¡¯s start with him first" Cyree pointed. As they signaled Yuuta "tell us about yourself you seem like a very interesting young man" Wareeya interjected and said.


    Strangely enough Yuuta stood up and announced "my name is Yuuta Yoku¡¯ the first of  Wakai to activate his art." "I lost my father to a tragic event and I am willing to go far as I need to go to understand why." "Also I will not stop until I find out why." At the same time Yuuta knew what happened to his father pretty much, but it was some things he still questioned in his heart and mind but he didn¡¯t want the witches to catch on to exactly who he was.


    Mr. Howkuu sat there not really touching his food with his fist under his chin not knowing, wondering what Yuuta was going to say looked at him and slowly very slowly nodded his head. "Hmmm who was your father?" Cyree asked. "Yakeen Yoku¡¯" Yuuta said. "Ohh my the miracle worker from the Village of Sorrow is gone, and he was your father I am so sorry" Cyree said.


    "So you know of him?" He asked. "Why yes everyone did pretty much he was a wonderful man a very smart person." She replied. "Just how old are you?" Yuuta asked sternly. "A woman never tells her age" grinningly she said. The other witches burst into laughter. "So what happened to him?" They asked. "That¡¯s a long story for another time" he replied. "Well OK how about you next, pointing at Megumi?" Cyree asked.


    Megumi stood up "as most of you probably know by now." "I am the granddaughter of Michiko Ai, and my name is Megumi Ai." "My grandmother was trapped and murdered by someone, I don¡¯t know who or what it was." "Still I¡®m not going to give up until I find the answers on why and who did this to her." Felt with rage "I think I better take my seat now" she said. "All things considered that is very disturbing Megumi and all of us witches truly hope you find your grandmother¡¯s killer" Suseenya said.


    Meanwhile, Kenta volunteered and stood up "My name is Kenta Baska." "Yes if you¡¯re wondering or maybe already knew. "I am of the Baska family that is cursed." "My family was taken by this evil wicked curse, and I¡¯m going to do everything in my power to find out what caused this curse and how to stop it" he said. "At this point we hope you will find out and discover the truth behind that curse" Wareeya said.


    Accordingly Mr. Howkuu stood up as he was next in line. "My name is Salul Howkuu I am a teacher in the Village of Sorrow for those of Wakai." "It is my duty to help these of the Wakai to make sure they are ready for life after the school, and prepared for anything" he said. "Do you have any relatives Salul?" Cyree asked.

    "Why yes I do, a brother from the Village of Thaumaturgy." "Before anyone interjects I didn¡¯t see him when we there, and he would not have fore-taken in something like that." "So what does your brother do there then Salul?" Suseenya asked. "Ironically" he said "he looks for those who seem to show symptoms of being a witch." All the witches turned their attention to him like a heat seeking laser.


    "For what reason does he have for doing that?" Wareeya asked. "Well to help them I assume in to becoming another witch who looks over Serenual not one who terrorizes over Serenual" he said. "Hmm thank goodness we don¡¯t want another person trying to manipulate or mutilate witches for their own being" Wareeya said. "Yes that is what started this feud or hate war between those 7 Deadly witches and Restaria" she said.


    "Presumably that is all I know for now" as Mr. Howkuu sat. "You next the mysterious one." As Cyree pointed at Tasyoukee. Tasyoukee looked at Megumi and the rest of the group. "Megumi do you remember when you first met Enjo and I, we helped you get Yuuta to your home?" "Then I told you that the story you wanted to know was for another time." he said. "Yes" she replied. "Well this is that time" Tasyoukee said.


    The group looked at Megumi then back at Tasyoukee. "My name is Tasyoukee Parrosuchi my parents died when I was seven years old I am left with my sister who is Aina Parrosuchi she is twenty."


    "After she graduated school she stayed back in the village to raise me." "My sister is four years older than me I am sixteen" Tasyoukee said. "How did you parents die?" Wareeya asked. "They died from a fire one day while going to get something to eat, inside of a building a fire started out of nowhere." "No bodies were ever found but later reports came out that they died of combustion" he said.


    The group looked at each other sympathizing with Tasyoukee, but only Kenta, Yuuta, and now Megumi could actually empathize with him. "My goal and intentions are to find what started that fire, and who done it" he said as he took his seat.


    "No doubt it¡¯s a fire spewing behind your eyes" Cyree stated. "I guess it¡¯s my turn" Enjo said. Of course he jumped up "my name is Enjo Hayate." "My father is Hachirou Hayate and my mother is Yukiko Hayate." "Together they are the best parents you could ask for, but they tend to get robbed very often by heartless criminals from the other villages every single time they go."


    "Usually my mother or father comes back home mugged beat up or simply my father." "It is my mission to find out why those criminal are robbing and beating up my parents". "My parents wouldn¡¯t harm anyone, so to not only mug them but beat them is ruthless and I won¡¯t stop until I get my answer" Enjo said as he sat back down.


    "Hmm so you¡¯re not just the gullible member of the group, you actually have something you want to go after and achieve it." Well us witches give you our best wishes on finding out why" Wareeya said. "If you don¡¯t mind me asking I know Tasyoukee already stated his age, but how old are you all?"


    "I¡¯m fourteen" Yuuta said, "I¡¯m sixteen" Megumi said, "I¡¯m sixteen" as well Enjo said, "I¡¯m seventeen" Kenta said, "and I am twenty-three" Mr. Howkuu said. "So you all are quite mature as well" Suseenya said grinningly.

 Chapter 50- Trouble In Paradise?

    "Well, Suseenya help me take the dishes and clear the table will you?" Cyree asked. "Yes sister excuse us as we clean things up" Suseenya said. "Thank you all for the great dinner" the group said. "No thank you" Cyree said.


    As they walked into the kitchen, "that Salul sure does look good" Suseenya said. "Oh please do you think he really want a witch who has no power, the only thing you can do is read people like a book" Cyree said. "However there is no reason to get distastefully judgmental" she said. "Thank you sister, well may the best witch win" Suseenya said. "Oh we¡¯re competing now?" She asked.


    "Well sister you know everything I have always wanted I got whether by choice or not" She said. "Indeed you did everything except your mojo back that was stolen from you, was it not." "Now you see how it feels to have something taken from you" Cyree said.


    "Damn you" Suseenya said as she dropped a glass. The shattering noise of the glass was so boisterous and loud that everyone heard it. "Excuse me you all let me go see what that was" Wareeya said as she left going into the kitchen. "What were you two doing in here?" She asked. "Your sister here has lost a nerve or two" Cyree said. "NO our sister Cyree has lost her mind and restraint on her tongue." The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "I asked her a simple question about the man in the other room and she lost it" Suseenya said. "Oh now I see you two were arguing in here about a man, or better yet a mortal." "Humph I¡¯ll leave this between you two to decide besides who would want two washed up witches from centuries ago" Wareeya said walking away.


    "What did you say?" Cyree and Suseenya said simultaneously. They extended their arms pulling at her as if there was an invisible rope around her chanting Issal, Issal, Issal. Wareeya began being pulled back over to where the two sisters were standing. "ENOUGH!!" She said.


    Raising her arms and breaking free as if she was trapped in an invisible rope. Wareeya walked up to the sisters and then stepped in between them. "I¡¯ve had enough with this petty squabble that you two have." "Whatever it is settle this now, and do not ever try casting a spell on me."


    "Remember I let you two call the shots and look important to the rest of the sisters." "Nevertheless don¡¯t forget I am more powerful than all of you" she said as she walked out. She entered back in the dining room, "it was nothing" laughingly she said. "Just mere child¡¯s play in there nothing more nothing less" she said. "Where were we I forgot?" Wareeya asked.


    Meanwhile in the kitchen Cyree and Suseenya were talking. "Maybe she¡¯s right" Cyree said. "Maybe so." Suseenya replied. "But for now let¡¯s put our squabble aside and find a way to take that wicked witch out, then we settle this agreed." Cyree said. "Agreed She replied." So the two continued to finish washing the dishes, and everything else.

 Chapter 51- Strange Acquaintances

    Meanwhile Wareeya was talking to the group and she asked them. "Would you all like to come outside and help us practice?" "Um no, I think the guys are tired" Mr. Howkuu said. "No it¡¯s fine much as they were helping us allow me to help you all much as I can" Megumi said.


    "OK follow me this way then" Wareeya said. Out into the practice area they went not knowing what tricks lay under those devilish grins the witches have. Mr. Howkuu thought. "Who wants to be our first volunteer?" Wareeya asked. "I will!" Megumi exclaimed. "OK I¡¯m going to need the rest of you all to step outside the white line drawn behind her." "Go ahead I¡¯ll be fine" Megumi said.


    Soon as they stepped out behind her. A roped gate flew down behind her and in front of another witch. The gate was see through, black ropes. "OK we will not harm or endanger you in anyway, but we will be practicing which means, actually performing so don¡¯t be afraid." Wareeya said.


    "OK" She replied. "Bomezly your up first" Wareeya said. "Well I¡¯ll try and be easy on you" she said. "I¡¯m ready" she replied. Bomezly took a stance with her left leg crossing over her right leg and her arms spread out. Slowly tilting her head down, you couldn¡¯t see her face anymore because she was a wearing a bonnet. She then said, "SPUN TO THE AZLAO PROMISE NEVER FORSAKE THOSE BUT UMLAO."


    Then everyone noticed a hellacious grin on her face, the sky started changing from day to night. She began laughing as the moon came out a full moon her eyes were lit up, very red more than bloodshot red they were lit up like demon¡¯s eyes.


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "Megumi HURRY AND GET OVER HERE NOW!!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed, the other 10 witches outside ran to Bomezly and stopped her. "What are you doing?" Wareeya asked. Bomezly continued laughing grinning so widely. "Snap out of it!" As Wareeya slapped her. Nothing was working then came the twelfth witch counting in original order from Cyree and Suseenya was Abstalean.


    She walked over to Bomezly and whispered something in her ear the group couldn¡¯t make out what she was saying. Yuuta stood behind Mr. Howkuu, Mr. Howkuu turned around "what are you doing?" He asked. Yuuta just looked at him and nodded. Mr. Howkuu understood then, so he stood in front of Yuuta and pulled Tasyoukee over.


    Tasyoukee looked at Mr. Howkuu in questionably reasoning. Then Mr. Howkuu signaled his eyes at Yuuta and shook his head slowly as if asking him are you going to help. So, he too stood in front of Yuuta side by side with Mr. Howkuu and Enjo quickly noticed and tapped Kenta on the arm and pointed down at Yuuta he nodded his head in response.


    So they covered Yuuta once again like a sacred gift, he then closed his eyes and asked Hushur "can you help me understand what that witch is saying?" Yuuta didn¡¯t receive a response from Hushur. He was waiting and waiting then he asked again "Hushur can you help me?" For the first time, it seemed like Hushur would not help Yuuta.


    Felt up by hopelessness about to give up and open his eyes he heard this faint voice. "Yuuta! Yuuta! Yuuta! do you hear me" "yes barely." He replied. "Hushur can you help me understand what that witch is saying?" "Yes, and that is not any witch Yuuta that is Abstalean the Witch the oldest of them all" Hushur said. "What I can''t understand you Hushur?" Yuuta stated.


    Strangely enough Yuuta was still unable to hear Hushur clearly. So Hushur yelled loud as he could "LISTEN I DON¡¯T HAVE MUCH TIME TO TELL YOU THIS Yuuta but be heedful of those witches." "It¡¯s something blocking my connection from you to me I am only able to hear you I can¡¯t even see what is going on or where you are." "I can always hear you but remember I can¡¯t see you now just call on me Yuuta and I¡¯ll respond it may not be through voice but in spirit."


    "Wait what does that mean?" He asked. "I don¡¯t have time to explain but never call on me in spirit unless it is in very dire need." "OK." Yuuta said. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND YUUTA!?" Hushur exclaimed. "Yes OK." He replied. "Now open your heart and not your eyes let that be your guide" Hushur said.

 Chapter 52-Eerie Times Among The Brave

    Yuuta kept his eyes closed but he stood up and tapped Mr. Howkuu on the shoulder. "What are you doing?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "I need you guys to stay in this formation and thank you" Yuuta said.


    He kept his eyes closed then put his hand over his head as if he was contemplating something, but he was listening, his hearing was dramatically increased. He started to hear everything Abstalean was saying. "Calm, down child you can¡¯t show restraint can you" she said.


    "Do we need to throw you in the cellar or do you want to be cast away for doing such things?" She asked. "I know what you¡¯re doing and I¡¯m going to tell you I don¡¯t like it and it is highly disgraceful to me, now you undo what you have done." "Do you understand me girl, I have lived for a long time now I know way more spells then you, now get to it!" Abstalean Exclaimed.


    Soon as she said that Abstalean looked up "hey aren¡¯t one of you missing?" She asked. "Why no" Yuuta popped out from behind Mr. Howkuu "forgive me he was covering me with his height" he said. All things considered Bomezly started to undo the spell she walked up to Megumi and said "PLEASE FORGIVE THEE, THOU SHALL BE BLESSSID TO THOSE WHO ARE NEAR AND IN FEAR" she said. "Near and in fear".


    Yuuta thought to himself that sounds like¡­. "Well let¡¯s go back inside" Wareeya said aloud. Everyone began heading back inside of the home. "Nice to see we can depend on you" Wareeya said to Cyree. Knowing that Cyree was the only witch who didn¡¯t come outside when they needed her. "Oh yes mam I will be right out there was some iced spiraling sparkling water for you and a fan to save you from anything that comes your way" Cyree said. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    "EXCUSE ME!?" Wareeya replied. "Let¡¯s go and prepare the room for our guests" Suseenya said. "Oh, we¡¯re not staying we have to get back to our village" Mr. Howkuu said. All of the witches turned around and looked at Mr. Howkuu and grinned, "we¡¯ll discuss that when we finish preparing the room, we have in store for you all" Suseenya said as the witches walked away upstairs. "Did she say room as in non-plural?" Megumi asked.


    "Yes, she did" Tasyoukee replied. "What did that witch do to you anyway?" Enjo asked her. "I don¡¯t know I don¡¯t feel any different" she replied. "It was fun helping her anyway she wouldn¡¯t harm me" Megumi said. "I agree with her these are some very nice people, besides witches!" Kenta exclaimed.


    "These witches do seem very friendly besides they fed us and did indeed help Megumi learn what happened to her grandmother in a way." Enjo said. As those three huddled up together and talked to each other. Tasyoukee, Yuuta, and Mr. Howkuu did the same. "Do you guys trust them?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "No none of them" Tasyoukee replied. "I don¡¯t either" Yuuta replied.


    "Something about those witches are familiar to me, but the eldest one Abstalean it is something blood-curdling about her." "How are they familiar to you, you were nowhere born when they were around?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Actually, I can¡¯t explain it I just feel it in my heart" he said. "Do you think we would have a slim chance of beating these witches if we were to fight them for some reason?" Tasyoukee asked. "In any case our chances would be grim, but never giving up on that slim chance is the only chance we would have if that constitutes for anything" Yuuta replied.


    "Above all, so our chances of beating these witches are zero-to none is what you¡¯re saying?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "Precise." He replied. "Especially with our odds of three against thirteen they have Megumi, Enjo, and Kenta hoodwinked into thinking that they are trying to help us" he stated.


    "So, you think they¡¯re not trying to help us at all?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "No I don''t, it was something I had to open my heart to see that my eyes couldn¡¯t" he replied. "Wow who taught you that?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "A friend." He replied. While the group was still talking among themselves Abstalean walked back in, "your room is ready" she said.


    "I told you all we are not staying" Mr. Howkuu said. "You three can go if you like, "we¡¯re going to see the room" Megumi said. Abstalean turned her back, "come with me then." "We can¡¯t leave her or them by themselves" Yuuta said.

 Chapter 53- Struck By Certain Illness

    Furthermore, they were walking up the stairs and noticed creepy paintings, some nice and unique. At this point Yuuta knew it was going to take a while before they got to their room it was a lot of stairs. Walking and walking started to become exhausting to Tasyoukee as he started to sweat, and he looked nauseated.


    "Are you alright child?" Abstalean asked as she turned around from hearing him cough so loudly. "Yes, I¡¯m fine" he replied. It¡¯s no cut on him so Enjo can¡¯t heal him Dammit what is wrong with you Tasyoukee? Mr. Howkuu wondered to himself. The more and more they walked he got more and more exhausted. Tasyoukee started slowing down he started stumbling and then he almost fell backwards and tripped over the stairs, but Mr. Howkuu caught him silently before anything happened.


    Mr. Howkuu looked at Yuuta and shrugged his head towards Tasyoukee signaling help. So Yuuta got behind Tasyoukee side by side with Mr. Howkuu and put a hand on his back and that helped center his body to look like he was walking straight forward.


    Wiping his forehead and the sweat off of him Mr. Howkuu saw that Tasyoukee was only getting sicker, and they needed to get medical attention right away. Then Abstalean turned around a few more stairs up, and Mr. Howkuu whispered to Yuuta "it¡¯s more" he said. They started to feel Tasyoukee¡¯s body turning to dead weight as if he was dead, and started very slowly changing colors, you would have to look very closely to notice.

    Finally, they reached the top of the stairs to their room. Yuuta and Mr. Howkuu walked up very close with Tasyoukee with his head down as he walked past Abstalean "excuse us he¡¯s very tired" Mr. Howkuu said. "Is there a washroom in this room?" Yuuta asked. "Why no just down the hall why is there a problem?" Abstalean asked.


    "No mam" he replied. It was six mats on the ground, for each of them. They entered and behind them Abstalean switched the light off and closed the door "good night everyone." "Good night." Megumi replied. Mr. Howkuu went and stuck his ear to the door, "I think she¡¯s gone for now" he said. "What are you guys doing?" Enjo asked. "We can¡¯t stay here any longer something is not right" Yuuta said.


    "What are you talking abou"--. "LET HIM FINISH AND LISTEN!" Mr. Howkuu interrupted Megumi and exclaimed. "We have no time to explain right now, just look at Tasyoukee" Yuuta said as he pointed at him. "Tasyoukee oh my goodness what is wrong with him?" Megumi asked.


    "I don¡¯t know" he replied. "Maybe I can help" Enjo suggested. "No there are no cuts on him anywhere something is badly happening to him" Mr. Howkuu said. "We have to get him medical attention from the village" Yuuta said.


    "No, we can ask one of the Witches" Megumi said. "NO, WE ARE NOT TRUSTING THEM WITH ONE OF OUR OWN!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. Megumi got up and opened the door and shouted "ABSTALEAN!!" Yuuta couldn¡¯t stop her, everything was happening in slow motion.

 Chapter 54-Unbelievable Betrayal

    Abstalean came down the hall, "what is it what¡¯s wrong?" "Our friend he¡¯s sick can you help him?" She asked. "I can try what is the problem?" While they were talking Tasyoukee called Yuuta and Mr. Howkuu over "don¡¯t let any witch touch me" he said as he passed out.


    "Tasyoukee wake up wake up!!" Yuuta exclaimed. "Let me take a look at him" Abstalean said. "NO we¡¯re fine we just need to return to our village and have him looked at" Yuuta said. "Excuse me, but I agree with him as well" Mr. Howkuu interjected. "No allow me you¡¯re under our home and in our world allow me to help you all, that¡¯s the least I can do." Abstalean said.


    "We said NO!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. "Why are you two acting like this she¡¯s trying to help" Megumi said. Abstalean bypassed Megumi and started walking towards Tasyoukee, and Yuuta stepped in the way. Then Mr. Howkuu stood beside him, "I¡¯m just trying to help him" Abstalean said.


    This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    As she reached down and tried to feel his head for something Mr. Howkuu grabbed her arm "what are you doing?" She asked. "Hey why don¡¯t you two stop it!" Megumi exclaimed. Then an envelope fell out of her sleeve on the ground to the floor. "What is that?" Kenta asked.


    "Nothing hand it over to me" Abstalean said. As Megumi picked it up she read it and it said. "The Sacred Alleviate Council." Abstalean snactched the envelope from Megumi''s hands "it was you wasn¡¯t it?" She asked. "What are you talking about?" Enjo asked.


    "You remember back at the cell my grandmother was trapped in, and the last thing she wrote in her own blood was The Sacred Alleviate Council" Megumi replied. "How could you do that then take us in and fool us or me, like some dumb girl!" Megumi said becoming infuriated by the betrayal.


    "You have to calm down Megumi" Mr. Howkuu said. Nevertheless, she couldn¡¯t and her art was activating slowly but surely and both her hands were skeletal again something she had gained. "It¡¯s a shame I didn¡¯t want to fight you, any of you for that matter, but I have no choice it seems like."


    While talking Megumi lunged in at Abstalean "NOOO Megumi!" Mr. Howkuu yelled as everything was moving slow. Abstalean whispered some enchanted words to herself no one could hear or she thought. Yuuta closed his eyes and heard her she said. "Boonta, Bala, Ookala." All of a sudden, an explosion of light appeared and Abstalean looked so different, she was young and energetic looking.

 Chapter 55- No Choice But To Fight

    Abstalean soon lunged at Megumi and grabbed her shoulder, she deactivated he art. "WHAT!? IMPOSSSIBLE!" Megumi exclaimed to herself. Kenta quickly activated his art and instead of attacking with his power first this time, he tried an aerial attack instantly above Abstalean he tried a spinning kick in the air. Of course, she saw it coming and she caught his leg midair and threw him to the ground.


    "Kenta!" Megumi called out. Abstalean then started to bend down and reach at him, but Kenta interrupted her and set her hand on fire with his eye. She quickly put it out just by looking at it, she continued to go after him. She then realized that something was still burning her she looked at her arm and it still had that burning sensation, but the fire was gone.


    "That is an impressive trick I¡¯ll give you that but it¡¯s going to take a whole lot more than some little burning to stop me" she said. So that¡¯s exactly what Kenta did. He closed his jolting eye, and then seconds before she was about to reach him the lines finally did reach over to his other eye then it happened. Both his eyes opened and both were jolting lines started appearing on the wooden floor where she was standing. She stopped and looked at what was happening beneath her feet. It was like a pattern drawing itself beneath her, then a small fire started and it erupted.


    The fire began to start standing growing taller and taller reaching her neck. Then three other fires started around that one and encased her so she couldn¡¯t move. She tried moving but the fire was so hot that she could barely breathe. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Abstalean yelled.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    The fire was so hot that everyone began sweating as well, she could no longer take it so she tried something she had up her sleeve. Abstalean closed her eyes and then she opened them and they turned white she then stared at Kenta he froze up and then he grabbed for his heart. He started to stumble over and his art faded away. The fire exploded out blazing the roof off of the room.


    That roof was now gone and they could see the stars as night came. Abstalean¡¯s eyes returned back to normal. "I¡¯ve had enough playing games for now" she said. "So, you¡¯re not who you say you are" Enjo said. "I¡¯ve seen enough" he also stated. "Wait Enjo what are you doing?" Megumi asked. "It¡¯s no time for this now, I haven¡¯t just been standing by and doing nothing I also work on things in my spare time" he replied.


    "ENOUGH TALK!!" Abstalean said as she grabbed Enjo¡¯s arm, she began squeezing tighter and tighter until he could barely feel his pulse. "Enjo!" Mr. Howkuu called out. Laughing and grinning "you are absolutely worthless what even is your role in this group" she asked.


    Enjo eyes started closing as if he was fading away then he bit his tongue. It woke him up bringing him back to life almost fading away, and then his art activated. "What they hell is going?" Abstalean said. Abstalean¡¯s hands were shocked by Enjo when his eyes opened and then these light green chains began appearing on his arms as if they were to protect them from anything. At the same time, a green circle was around his body covering from all angles he then pointed at Yuuta and Mr. Howkuu.


    They grabbed Tasyoukee and stood next to Enjo, Megumi she dragged Kenta back over to him. Everyone began feeling better Kenta could stand up again. All except Tasyoukee he was still in a very bad condition. The circle expanded and covered all of the group all of them in one circle. "Great we¡¯re safe but remember he can¡¯t move in that state" Mr. Howkuu said. "Well we have to conserve our energy for now while we have the time" Megumi said.

 Chapter 56- Has Hushur Entered This Realm?

    "Oh no you don¡¯t" as Abstalean called out to the other witches loud as she could. "OH NO!" Yuuta exclaimed. "Enjo you have to hold on a little longer can you do that please?" Yuuta asked. Enjo turned his head slowly and looked at Yuuta and nodded yes. Yuuta sat down on the ground in a praying motion and he called out to Hushur in his mind.


    Meanwhile the other witches came piling in and asked "what is going on?" "It¡¯s over they tried attacking me, and I need help defending myself" Abstalean said. "I just wanted to help the poor boy that was sick, but they wouldn¡¯t allow me and tried attacking me" she also stated. Cyree, Suseenya, and Wareeya came halting to the front as her aid. "No matter what you hide behind, it will not save you from us." "One cannot live if they dare attack one of the 13 Sisters of Akuma." "You must understand it was not us it was her" Mr. Howkuu pleaded.


    "No, it¡¯s too late for reasoning now, you have to answer for these crimes" the three said. "Crime?" Mr. Howkuu asked. "It¡¯s looks like we have no choice but to be ready for them" he said. "Suseenya help me, will you?" Cyree asked. "Why yes sister let us start with taking down this barrier they have and then they will pay for what they did." "Every person must atone for their crime" Suseenya stated. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    Cyree and Suseenya grabbed each other¡¯s arms and started chanting "To, those who are cursed shall be stolen from the Azlao and granted their soul freedom to Umlao." Enchanted writing began showing up on their arms, and then they let go of each other¡¯s hands and they started walking towards the barrier. The two witches¡¯ hair was blowing back as if a wind was blowing and it wasn¡¯t.


    At this point Yuuta was talking to Hushur asking him for help and he really needed it. He didn¡¯t forget that Hushur told him that he could always hear him, but their connection was and would be affected so. Yuuta knew what he had to do for his friends. His eyes still closed, in his mind he asked and told Hushur "please help me I NEED YOU IN SPIRIT HUSHUR!" He exclaimed.


    Then all of a sudden, he woke up and his eyes opened. Everyone turned around looking at him, "Yuuta do you have a plan?" Mr. Howkuu asked. Yuuta stood up and walked in front of Enjo so no one could affect him since he was casting the barrier.


    The witches were still coming towards the barrier and they were about to place their hand on it to try and break it. Unfortunately, Yuuta grabbed both of their arms and they couldn¡¯t move a muscle. Then Wareeya stepped in grabbed his shoulder and tried the same thing Abstalean did to Megumi but it didn¡¯t work. "What the hell are you?" she asked.


    "I told you he was the first of Wakai" Mr. Howkuu said. "SHUT UP!" Wareeya exclaimed she raised her hand as if she was about to strike Mr. Howkuu, Yuuta grabbed her arm and flipped her to the ground. "ENOUGH!!!" Yuuta yelled. Except his voice sounded so different it blended with Hushur¡¯s voice and no one had ever heard his voice. So, no one knew what was going on. Yuuta! Megumi exclaimed.

 Chapter 57- Are The 13 Sisters of Akuma Back On Their Heels..

    He slowly looked at her and looked back at the witches. Then Abstalean looked at the other witches and told them "attack now." All of them begin casting spells and were about to attack, Yuuta told them "STOP!!" "If you attempt to harm another person in this room I will not forgive any of you."


    "How dare you talk to the Sisters of Akuma as if you know us" Wareeya said from the ground sitting up. Yuuta started giving this demonic grin. Then the witches continued casting spells, so Yuuta acted on what he said or he knew Hushur would. Yuuta raised his arms this blinding blue light appeared and then the witches started feeling rushing wind fast wind they have never felt before only they were feeling this. As if it was targeted directly upon them sweeping them up in the air like plants.


    The witches were screaming still trying to cast spells so Yuuta continued what he was doing. Also, you could see the witches¡¯ veins begin showing up on their bodies. The wind was drawing up their blood, and their breathe was being snatched from their souls. Then moving forward towards them he began breaking his fingers each finger was accounted for, each finger would stand for one witch. Ten fingers ten witches he broke each and every last one of his fingers. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    However it did not kill the witches but broke a certain bone in their body. Still he had three witches to deal with and that was Cyree, Suseenya, and Abstalean. "How dare you!" Abstalean said. She rose her arm and started chanting something very creepy aloud "PUMZDA ALKALO TO PROTECT THE AZLAO WE NEVER WILL FORGIVE UMLAO" she said. Then this square yellow barrier rose from beneath Yuuta''s feet trapping him inside of it.


    Then Suseenya walked up to the barrier and placed one hand on it and started chanting something as well with her eyes closed. "ASKUL YOU, BONTA, EPEL, LUSE TO, STRA." Then vines started coming from inside the barrier and wrapping itself around Yuuta tightening every time he moved. Next Cyree stepped in front of the barrier and she looked Yuuta dead in the eyes chanting. Everyone looking and shaking with fear. "ASTUL, EESCON, TOSESCLIN, INSTANINE, FORLUSH, TISCIN." Cyree said.


    Then this dark black spear appeared in her hands with a 7 near the top of the spear, and at the bottom of it was a lot of carved writing near. She then prepared herself to go inside of the barrier. Once she entered inside she started talking to Yuuta. "What are you doing finish him now!" Suseenya said. "I will when I get ready" she replied.


    "Now I¡¯m going to find out who you really are" she said. The spear in one hand as she started walking towads Yuuta and then when she finally reached him she placed her other hand on his head. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head as well as Yuuta''s.

 Chapter 58-Riddled By Someone Or Something They Have Never Encountered Before!

    No one knew what was happening, just that neither side could do anything about it. Meanwhile inside Yuuta''s mind the confrontation was taking place there. Yuuta never would¡¯ve of thought so many voices would¡¯ve been in his mind but they were. "Where am I?" Cyree asked.


    "Somewhere where you have no business" Hushur said in his normal voice. "It¡¯s you!!!" She responded. "Hushur." "Yes it is, I" he replied. "How dare you, after the deal you made with us witches" Cyree said. "How dare I?" "You fool, you would challenge a god." Hushur stated. "Don¡¯t forget I¡¯m allowing you to speak to me as a courtesy of my gratitude." "So why don¡¯t you leave this group alone" he suggested.


    "It¡¯s too late for that, now once I go back and tell the others who you are they will help me end you!!" She exclaimed. Then everything ended the connection between Cyree and Hushur stopped including Yuuta and Hushur. Cyree and Yuuta''s eyes turned back to normal. Noticing he was still trapped by the vines. Cyree quickly turned around and yelled "HE IS NOT THE FIRST OF THE WAKAI THAT IS"--- .


    Closing his eyes then reawakening them and turning blue, he looked at Cyree and she could no longer speak. It was very silent, Cyree kept making faces as if she was yelling but no one could hear her. The sisters told her they couldn¡¯t hear her. So she gave up trying and turned around and plunged the spear at him, but Yuuta quickly looked down at his chest then it turned to this light blue crystal like material.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    Everyone turned and looked what the hell are you? Mr. Howkuu thought to himself. The spear broke as it collided with the material. "Impossible!?" Cyree said. "This spear was made by the 13 sisters for our protection." How can he break it she was thinking to herself. As everyone watched astounded by what they were seeing, then his grin became a little cynical and turned into a frown.


    The vines that were gripping him started to unravel themselves and began to die. Yuuta stood up looking at Cyree then began walking towards her. "Leave her alone!" Everyone stopped and looked at Wareeya. "Yes I said it!" Wareeya was the ground crawling towards her sister with one broken leg. She couldn¡¯t bear the pain anymore to move so she stopped. Yuuta just looked at Wareeya then turned back to Cyree.


    Wareeya closed her eyes as tears started creeping down her face. She said "THROUGH THE SPIRITH THY AZLAO MOVE UPON THE UMLAO WILL ALWAYS LOSE." Unexpectedly she traded places with Cyree, Yuuta stopped and glanced at Wareeya. "That¡¯s quite a trick", Yuuta said. Oh you like that one. She thought to herself in her mind "I HAVE ANOTHER ONE!" She exclaimed.


    Yuuta started walking towards her while she was on the ground. Soon as he was close enough in range she grabbed his legs with her arms and started chanting. "ANZEN, HOGU, HIGEKI." Inside the barrier it felt like an earthquake was happening but it was just inside the barrier it was shaking from whatever Wareeya did. Then Yuuta noticed that the floor beneath him started turning to concrete he began trying to move, but before he could he was already caught. Trying to move his feet, but the concrete started making its way up towards his chest. "What is happening?" Enjo whispered beneath his breath to the group.


    "Is he going to---?" Megumi asked. Interrupted by Mr. Howkuu "be quiet and stay ready." Yuuta closed his eyes and reopened them and they turned blue and then the entire barrier lit up blue flashing like an explosion.

 Chapter 59- Hushurs Final Chance?!

    Nothing worked the concrete was still climbing his body and it was reaching from the back of his head over, working its way down to his chin. "You¡¯re not strong as you thought you were" she said. He tried it again and the same thing nothing happened, it was a very strange to everyone. He usually had a trick for anything, but this time it seemed like his luck ran out.


    Thinking to himself Hushur couldn¡¯t find out what the problem was, then he said "of course that¡¯s it." With the concrete closing in on his mouth. Everyone standing and watching "No" Megumi softly said under her breath with a tear running down her face. The concrete started covering a very small piece of his mouth. "Any last words you bastard" Wareeya said sarcastically.


    Megumi started walking towards the barrier "NO Yuuta!" She exclaimed. "No, you don¡¯t" Suseenya said as she approached Megumi. "Don¡¯t Megumi." Mr. Howkuu said. "Yea listen to your teacher dear" Suseenya said. The concrete covering half his mouth and his entire body, Wareeya sat there laughing "look at you, your nothing" she said. He was trying to say something but he couldn¡¯t the concrete was still in effect. Yuuta''s time was running out so he closed his eyes again and his body wrapped in the concrete nothing but half of his mouth. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Hushur thought of a trick, he opened his eyes and they turned blue you could see it through the concrete it was so light. "I thought you would¡¯ve figured out by now that won¡¯t work!!" Wareeya exclaimed.


    He did something no one in that room has ever seen before. He began contorting his mouth half of his mouth was trapped in the concrete, but long as the other half wasn¡¯t he could contort the rest out. So that¡¯s exactly what he did. Everyone watching in amazement. He moved the rest of his mouth out of the concrete and then that was it. "That¡¯s all you were trying to do for what to breathe" Wareeya said. Laughingly.


    "NO!!" He said so strictly. Everyone looked and felt intense then that laugh and grin on Wareeya¡¯s face was transformed into a frown. Two words spewed from his mouth and it was Akirameru Muyaku.


    The barrier began shaking Yuuta and Wareeya started shaking as well inside the barrier. Yuuta''s body started rising from the ground like he was being pulled up to the sky. Nevertheless the barrier shattered, and Wareeya shocked by what was happening.


    Unfortunately she was being dragged up as well with Yuuta to the sky through the roof. Everyone looked up and no one could understand what was happening, the other witches Suseenya, Abstalean, and Cyree enraged.


    Turned towards the group and began to take their anger out on them. Closing his eyes as he was about to do away with Wareeya Yuuta noticed that the witches were targeting the group. So he opened them and they were blue he looked at the witches and then a lightning bolt struck down from the clouds, thunder rippling through the sky and in between Wareeya and him the bolt crashed down. It hit the floor splitting the wood caving in and everyone fell beneath.

 Chapter 60- Who Was It?..!

    Taking his eyes off of Wareeya she quickly began chanting once more. Tears were flooding down her face "ISTUM, LOC, OS, AKALUM, OSTUU, ESTA, SEESTA, GISEI!!!" Wareeya exclaimed in vain. Enchanted writing began showing and started covering her entire body. On her left cheek it said purity, as well just like Tasyoukee.


    Sitting there dangled in the air Wareeya couldn¡¯t do anything but watch Yuuta as he started walking in the air towards her. She closed her eyes and thought about something dear to her. She reopened them and her head still held down, tears falling. Yuuta finally made it over to her, he grabbed her by her hair and snatched her up to make her look at him then all of a sudden.


    She placed her hand on his chest, and then the writing from her body started transferring to his. Yuuta tried to stop her but once an enchanted spell has been placed on you it¡¯s nearly impossible to stop it. Hushur thought to himself for a second then he quickly knew what it was. He looked at Wareeya after looking down, and she gave him this dead sacrificial gaze as if she won.


    Yuuta was about to grab her, but she started falling to the ground and her life was slowly fading away. Hushur felt his connection with Yuuta was leaving and he too started falling from the sky. He fell near the group, and she fell near the witches ironically. The witches noticed what was happening.


    Some of them calling from the ground still injured "Wareeya." Suseenya and Abstalean ran to her checking on her and they noticed the spell. "Dammit why would you do that, you know that cost!" They exclaimed. She tried telling them but they couldn¡¯t hear her, she was speaking so softly and low, so they told her to write it on or something. She tried drawing the first letter and she couldn¡¯t even finish the letter, by then Wareeya had passed. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    The tears started flooding down all of the witches¡¯ faces. Cyree still unable to talk she couldn¡¯t tell the sisters anything, she tried spelling out his name, but whatever Yuuta did to her was not allowing her to spell or say his name. Meanwhile Yuuta fell near the group Megumi was the first that began running towards him. "Yuuta are you ok!?" She exclaimed.


    "Yuuta" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. They picked him up and ran out of the house outside trying to find an exit. Running frantically "WHERE DO WE GO YOU GUYS!?" Enjo asked. "HOW IN THE HELL DO WE GET OUT OF HERE!" Mr. Howkuu yelled. Moreover the two sisters came out while the others were inside they were furious.


    Abstalean, and Suseenya began yelling "ISSAL ISSAL ISSAL!!!" Using that pulling spell on Yuuta, the group started pulling trying to hold him tight. Nevertheless, it had no success they yanked him from their hands speeding through the dirt he was in their reach now. They wrapped his arms around their shoulders as they were turning around and going inside the house.


    "What do we do, we can¡¯t activate our art?" Kenta asked. "We have to do something we can¡¯t just let them take him!" Megumi exclaimed. "I agree!" Tasyoukee said. "We have no choice right now we have to find a way out and then figure out how to get him back" Mr. Howkuu replied.


    Then when the two witches slid the door open it happened, Yuuta was back in their grasp, the group quickly grabbed him. Then Abstalean yelled "look" and Suseenya turned around. It was nothing but a black flash of cloth that¡¯s all you could see. The group turned around and they were in front of the Village of Sorrow "we¡¯re home!" Enjo yelled.


    What in the¡ªMr. Howkuu was thinking to himself. "What happened?" Suseenya asked. "It was her!" Abstalean said with a frown on her face.

 Chapter 61- Final Goodbyes

    "Now quickly we have to get Tasyoukee and Yuuta to the sanitorium" he said. Of course, the group started rushing there, and they took him inside. They waited outside all morning as the sun just started rising, the group fell asleep.


    Then as they woke they ran in and asked the Ishi was everything OK. He told them that one of their friends did not make it "NO!" Tasyoukee yelled as he walked up to the group. "NO!" As the group fell to their knees glad that Tasyoukee was OK, they were deeply saddened by the death of Yuuta. So when will his burial be placed? Mr. Howkuu asked.


    "We have already taken care of that, someone in his honor already had it marked in case something were to ever occur like this." "You can all go in and say your goodbyes." So they entered and saw Yuuta laid there motionless and the same way he looked when he first died the Ishi told them. "It¡¯s like I¡¯m seeing this happen all over", he told them.


    Megumi grabbed his arm "DON¡¯T YOU LEAVE ME YET Yu-Yu!" She yelled. She started shaking his bed "WAKE UP WAKE WAKE UP PLEASE!!" She begged and she fell to her knees. "No it will be OK" As Tasyoukee grabbed her and hugged her. "He risked his life to save all of us, how am I supposed to get over that?" She asked. "When he needed us the most we were useless" she said. "Don¡¯t talk like that Megumi he was trying to protect us, which he did not want anyone to intervene" Mr. Howkuu said. Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    "Excuse us we need to prepare his body" The Ishi said. "Prepare his body prepare for what?" Megumi asked. "It¡¯s time to bury him" he replied. "No not now!" She exclaimed. The group dragged her out, as they did they began and finished in minutes. They began rolling him out on a stretcher his entire body wrapped up and covered without anything special, this time they just decided to place him in the ground.


    The group followed behind and everyone else did as well students, elders coming outside this morning to see what was happening they followed as well. Everyone noticed it was a burial anytime you see someone wrapped up they began to assume that is was one of Mr. Howkuu¡¯s students. Also that Yuuta was nowhere around so they assumed it was him and they were right. They made it to his burial "any last words?" The Ishi asked.


    Everyone so heartbroken tears flooding down faces, and bodies shaking no one had any last words. So the undertaker¡¯s started digging the grave for the special burial. The normal grave diggers were relieved of their duties for this one. As they placed Yuuta in the grave Megumi fell to the ground "Yuuta please C¡¯mon get up please" she pleaded.


    They began covering him with dirt then rain started falling from the sky and clouds started forming the sky began getting dark. After that everyone started walking back, "class Is canceled for today and tomorrow everyone will understand" Mr. Howkuu said.

 Chapter 62- Guilt of Blame

    "Go home and get some rest every one of you we have to keep moving forward, we can¡¯t sit around in despair much as we want to do it for Yuuta we owe him that" Mr. Howkuu said. So, they all returned home and tried getting some rest. Doing things that they liked, it was still despair leaking out in the air.


    That day became very gloomy, but as night fell even more troubling things began to happen or what seemed. During the dark hours of night that same black flash of cloth appeared at Yuuta''s burial and that black flash was a woman. Standing over his burial she got down and crouched on her knees talking saying "NO NOT YET YOU STILL HAVE WORK, A DUTY TO ATTEND AND YOU KNOW WITHOUT YOUR CONNECTION TO HIM HE WILL FADE AWAY ONCE MORE FROM SICKNESS LIKE HE DID BEFORE." "I COME TO YOU TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR TIME HERE IS NOT DONE."


    AS the woman placed her hand on the burial it began to turn purple and the weeds started to come back to life. A tree fell over right outside of the graveyard then a fire erupted out of nowhere on the tree. The woman disappeared in a black flash seeing nothing but cloth her face was covered with a black hood. The fire started to spread across the burial ground and Yuuta''s burial was uncovered dirt gone.


    Some of the elders close to the grave yard heard something and came outside. Five of the elders heard, went to the graveyard only to see a fire covering the graveyard they were about to turn around and go get some help but the fire vanished in an instant. The elders saw something in a far distance blue eyes, then a blue mist type fog appeared. The tree was gone everything repaired the graveyard was safe as if nothing ever happened. The elders walked back together and they told each other "no one hears wind of this."Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "We keep this between each other for the village¡¯s sake too many have already been injured" one of the elders said. So, they walked back into their homes. The morning followed and everyone was still home except Megumi she left her home. Feeling empty without her grandmother nowhere around. So, she left to visit Tasyoukee she walked to his house and knocked on the door. His sister Aina answered and said "hey you must be the beloved Megumi?" She asked. "Beloved?" Megumi asked.


    "Why yes, my brother"---- "Excuse us I have it sis" Tasyoukee exclaimed. "Come in Megumi" he said. So, she came in and sat down, "are you thirsty?" Aina asked. "No, I¡¯m fine thank you though" she replied. "However, I would like some frozen Yaop Ice Cream." "Oh, darn we just ran out I¡¯m going to have to make a run to go and get some more, do you guys want anything while I¡¯m out?" She asked.


    "No, we¡¯re fine" they replied. As his sister closed the door he turned around and asked Megumi "are you OK?" "I know you¡¯re still upset over your grandmother" he said. "I¡¯m so sorry Megumi I know I¡¯m usually this suave tough guy, but I can¡¯t express myself that easy especially around you" he said.


    "It¡¯s o"--- interrupting her "I¡¯m so sorry about your grandmother you didn¡¯t deserve to see her that way, and she didn¡¯t deserve to die" he stated. "No Yuuta"---- Interrupting her again "yes and I feel terrible about Yuuta as well its my fault I should have been able to help him." "I¡¯m always there to help and I couldn¡¯t he was trying to save me a weak soul like mine."


    "It¡¯s all my"---- Interrupted by Megumi kissing him "it¡¯s not your fault and he was risking his life for all us who were useless." "I came here to talk about Yuuta do you think he¡¯s really, you know dead?" She asked.

 Chapter 63- Hmmm The First Day of Relaxation?

    Still in shock and confused that she kissed him Tasyoukee couldn¡¯t say a word. Megumi slapped him across his face and it snapped him out of it. "Why did you kiss me?" Tasyoukee asked. "I had to do something to snap you out of it" laughingly she said.


    "Wait so what were you saying about Yuuta?" He asked. "I asked do you really think he is gone?" She said. "I think his body may be gone, but his spirit is still here with us" as he grabbed Megumi and hugged her. "You want to go hang out with the others?" She asked. "Why not let¡¯s go grab them and come back to my place we can play a game" he said. So Tasyoukee left a note on the counter saying that he would be back with friends, they started walking towards Kenta¡¯s house.


    Talking about things that they were both trying to accomplish by the time they graduate from the school. They got to Kenta¡¯s home and knocked on the door "still kind of creepy looking" Tasyoukee said. "Shush!" Megumi said. They can hear Kenta coming to the door, "hey what are you guys doing here?" He asked. "We wanted to invite you to come over to my house to join us in a playing a game if you want?" Tasyoukee asked. "Sure thing." He replied. He stepped out and closed the door behind him. "OK we have to go by and get Enjo" Megumi said. They started walking towards his home near the courtyard. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    They made it over there and knocked on his door then his father answered the door, and his mother came behind him. "Yes how may we help you?" They asked. "We¡¯re here to see if Enjo would like to join us in playing games at my house" Tasyoukee said. "Oh, sure thing hold on Tasyoukee" his father said. "So how have you been?" His mother asked.


    "I¡¯ve been well Mrs. Hayate" he replied. "Oh you must be of the beautiful Megumi he calls you, Tasyoukee "of course, and you must be Yuuta?" She asked. A tear started slowly running down Megumi''s face "are you alright dear?" She asked. "Yes mam I had something in my eye for a second" she replied. "Oh poor thing I hope you got whatever it was out" she said. "I did." Megumi replied.


    "Also no mam I¡¯m Kenta" he said. "Oh a new friend, that¡¯s always nice we can welcome more friends" she said as Enjo walked up to the door "yea you guys I¡¯m down to play some games lets go" he said. "Enjo when you come back be safe you hear." "Yes mam" he replied. "Could he spend the night, since we have a school day off Mrs. Hayate?" Tasyoukee asked.


    "Sure, why not he deserves to have some fun" she said. Enjo ran and hugged his mom "thanks" he told her. Then he bowed to his father, "thank you." So, they started walking from his home back over to Tasyoukee¡¯s house.

 Chapter 64- Pushed To The Edge!

    They were almost there, then they saw the same bullies who use to pick on Yuuta attacking another kid. Pushing, grabbing, and punching him the four were about to intervene, but they saw that the bullies were leaving. Then the boy got up from the trash and told them "I AM SO SICK OF THIS I HATE YOU I HATE YOU ALL!" He yelled.


    "NO!" They all said under their breath softly trying not to be seen. One of the five triggering affects Megumi said. "Don¡¯t worry nothing has happened it seems to be fine" Enjo said. The group took a couple more steps then, they noticed the bullies started coming back and began to beat on him some more. "Hey!" Kenta said. "What you don¡¯t run with us anymore Kenta you traitor." One of the bullies said. The boy laid back being beaten, he had this sick disturbed deeply saddened look on his face crying and his heart full of hate.


    The tears fell all down his clothing the bullies keep beating him and one bully said "you¡¯re a nobody keep crying." The boy clinched his fists and then blood began to leak from his hands as they were clinched. From his neck up began to turn red, then he started to choke as if he had swallowed something by accident. The bullies still continued to beat him anyway, the group quickly ran over, but the boy stood up and he started coughing then the bullies started backing up "what are you doing you freak?" One of them yelled.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    This mini tornado storm started appearing around his body covering protecting him he kept coughing then he started yakking and began ruminating about what was happening. He started to regurgitate something, blood was running down from the side of his lips. The bullies were freaked out, they turned around and started to run, but the tornado drug them back in. The coughing, hacking he was doing began to sound worse and worse. Then a shoestring fell out of his mouth, everyone stood there looking wondering what in the world is going on.


    Then all of a sudden, the boy started vomiting right away, but that wasn¡¯t the shocker what came out of his mouth was. It was an exact replica of him, but much taller, and a little muscular it seemed. Then the boy himself faded away like smoke in the wind. Blood dripping from this much bigger replica¡¯s mouth and his anger fueled by hate was very strong. He dove in like a spear grabbing one of the bullies and took off like a demon out of Jigoku flying away.


    Flying over everything the other bullies ran away, while the group ran after the boy. Yelling "hey stop put him down" the boy turned his head, looked at the group and kept flying he flew out side of the gates they ran out and followed him. Mr. Howkuu was coming back in the village after a short run then he noticed what was happening and joined the group and had them feel him in.


    The boy continued flying he didn¡¯t choose any pathway so the group were going off to somewhere new. "Where is he heading" as they were running fast as they could he started picking up his speed. Mr. Howkuu began to notice where the boy was heading. "He¡¯s heading to Yurusemasen River we have to hurry" Mr. Howkuu said. So they picked up the pace "if he reaches that river and flies over we¡¯ll never be able to save them both" he stated.

 Chapter 65- Consumed By Hate

    "What we can¡¯t cross it?" Megumi asked. "No the water from the river is dangerous it can affect you in anyway that it chooses" he replied. "You talk like this river is alive" Tasyoukee said. "We don¡¯t have time up, there look!" He exclaimed. The river was up just ahead and the boy was closer to it then the group. "Hold on" Tasyoukee said.


    He closed his eyes and he activated his art. Then opened them and he had his same lasso he used before except it was a lasso at both ends he wrapped the other half around his hip and threw the other half at the boy and told everyone to grab on. Successfully it worked and stopped the boy from moving, but then he turned around and saw what was happening it only fueled his hate even more.


    So he couldn¡¯t move an inch forward anymore, so he just descended to the ground. He put the bully on the ground and he turned his attention toward the group. The bully got up and started running back towards the village. Mr. Howkuu grabbed his arm as he was running by "no you don¡¯t where do you think your going" he said. "Look at what he just did sir!" The bully said. "Your still not going anywhere we¡¯re going to settle this in a moment" Mr. Howkuu replied. "Hey can we settle this without any fighting?" Enjo asked the boy. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    Standing taller than all of them the blood dripping from his lips, and he¡¯s sniffing the air. Still having that disturbed painful and helpless look on his face. He reached out his arm to Enjo as if he wanted help, but all of a sudden his arm fell off of his body. Then he started yakking and coughing again.


    Then his nose began to bleed so he started to hold his head up. Unfortunately that did not help then blood started running from his eye lids, when he did that. Also he started vomiting again and then the same thing happened a newer version of his self, reemerged to the surface and the other version faded away like smoke in the wind. Everyone was nervous they never encountered anything like it before.


    The boy stood 7¡¯0 ft tall now his normal height was around 5¡¯4 ft. His hair was red and black lighting strikes were in them at the bottom. His eyes were red and black pupils "Give him back to me I¡¯m not finish with him yet" The boy said. "I¡¯m sorry but we can¡¯t do that" Mr. Howkuu said. Anyway the boy started walking towards the group and pleading "please give him to me please" as he begged Mr. Howkuu.


    "Get behind me now!" Enjo exclaimed. "Why are you protecting this monster?" The boy asked. "We aren¡¯t protecting his actions but we can¡¯t allow you to harm him or anyone else in this village because you want revenge" Mr. Howkuu replied. "Where were you when I was getting attacked, harmed, struck down by these idiots" he exclaimed.

 Chapter 66- Unbearable Hate!

    "We"--- Interrupted by the boy, "was it that you didn¡¯t care about my safe being, or was I not important enough like them because my art wasn¡¯t activated yet." "Yes I know that¡¯s why you take a liking to them, because they have their art, and the rest of us who didn¡¯t we were garbage to you" the boy said to Mr. Howkuu.


    "No I have to guide them and make sure that they will be prepared for anything and their lives." "That is why I spend my time with them so much" he said quickly. Almost there to Mr. Howkuu the boy became furious with him. "Get behind me sir!" Kenta said. "I¡¯ve been concentrating my art since we noticed what was happening earlier so I could be at full power, if anything were to occur like this" he said.


    Kenta got on one knee and then placed his hand on his face and began activating his art. The ground began to shake and the boy was even more distraught. Then small fragments of rocks began to reach up above the dirt surface and float in the air, Kenta begged him "please don¡¯t fight just settle this peacefully"he said. The boy made it over to Kenta leaning over him blood dripping from his mouth on his hair. Stolen story; please report.


    The boy reached down at him and slowly. Kenta instantly behind him, "wow I forgot how fast he was" Tasyoukee said. Then he kicked the boy in the back and he flew over into the grass face first. Next Kenta instantly rushed him punched him in his gut or thought he would. The boy made his body turn into smoke moving in the wind. Kenta couldn¡¯t hit him or see him then the boy showed his face and body moving away back where Mr. Howkuu was. Face to face with Mr. Howkuu he told him "give him to me or I¡¯ll take him along with you!" He exclaimed.


    Kenta quickly turned around and set the boy on fire. No doubt he successfully got him, but Kenta was set on fire as well. The group noticed that Kenta was burning as well, they told him to stop. "No I''ll keep doing it for as long as I can" he said.


    "Nonsense stop it now, we already lost one we don¡¯t need to lose another!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. So Kenta stopped the fire, and the boy was about to hit Mr. Howkuu, but Megumi stepped in and took the hit with both her skeletal arms trying to withstand the attack from one of his hands. Then the boy was about to strike again with his other hand. "FINE I¡¯LL TAKE BOTH OF YOU ALONG WITH HIM!" The boy screamed.

 Chapter 67- Can He Be Saved?

    As he was bringing his other hand forward "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Tasyoukee exclaimed as he stood beside Megumi blocking his second attempt with his sword. "Get back!" He yelled. They backed up, and Tasyoukee drew his sword and told him "I WONT SPARE YOU IF YOU CONTINUE."


    Wait that¡¯s the same sword that saved me Kenta was thinking to himself. If he could just strike him once it may just save him, he thought to himself. The boy turned himself into that smoke once more and then appeared behind Enjo. "Behind you Enjo!" Kenta yelled. He was right in front of the bully and he was about to grab his arm, but Enjo quickly activated his art surrounding the bully, Mr. Howkuu and himself in a barrier. "Amazing Enjo and thank you."Mr. Howkuu said.


    Kenta instantly was behind him and yelled to Tasyoukee "come on do it now." Holding one of his arms to the ground Tasyoukee noticed his chance and he took it running full speed. He drew his sword back and swung at his arm cutting it clean off.


    Then blood came gushing out spewing on Tasyoukee and Kenta. Strangest thing was the boy didn¡¯t seem to feel any pain, then after a minute another arm grew in that place, it was sickening to everyone. He got up and started to attack the barrier, but nothing would budge to open it. Then Tasyoukee wiped his face of the blood some still in his hair. "Dammit!" He said. He drew his sword once more and then walked over to the boy.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    "This time I¡¯m going to finish it" he said. He swung his blade upwards from his hands letting the blade drop down from the sky as it was falling the boy noticed what was happening and caught the blade. His hands were cut deeply from the blade, and Tasyoukee started giving this ironic grin, but then he noticed his hands were cut the pain was very intense.


    He fell to his knees thinking what in the hell happened did I do something wrong. The boy started turning the sword and began to throw the sword at Tasyoukee. Also Tasyoukee¡¯s art began to disappear and the sword along with it. He started walking towards Tasyoukee, Megumi quickly flew over to him and picked him up. "Megumi your fly"--- interrupted by her "I know I did it once before remember it took some time but think I can do it now on will when concentrated" she replied.


    She set Tasyoukee over out of the way and then she started to take the boy on by herself. "I don¡¯t want to fight you" the boy said. "I just want him" signaling the bully, "I¡¯m sorry whoever you are, but you attacked my friends and I can¡¯t allow you to harm anyone else even if they are a jerk." So she flew face to face with the boy "MEGUMI!" Tasyoukee exclaimed.


    "I do not want to fight you" he said. "Well you have no choice" she replied. Megumi hit him once to the face and he stumbled backwards and then she rushed in and hit him again stumbling to the ground she jumped on top of him and told him "stop calm down now and let your art disappear" she said. "I CAN¡¯T" HE YELLED .

 Chapter 68- Faintly Hope

    Then he coughed up some blood in her face. She then was prepared to do whatever was needed to stop him. He lifted Megumi off of him and then proceeded to get up and started becoming irate. "Please just let me get him, and I¡¯ll leave the rest of you alone!" He exclaimed.


    Megumi got up and told him "no I will not allow that" she responded. Megumi opened her arms out and then she began to float rising in the air flying again. She looked down at her hands, still skeletal then she flew towards the boy she placed both hands on his chest, and closed her eyes. Her mind pulsating she felt like her life was slipping away, but she couldn¡¯t let the boy get away. Little did she know the boy had a trick for it again, he turned into the smoke disappearing act, and he was gone.


    He still felt a little of what Megumi attempted he fell to the ground grabbing at his heart trying to breathe, then Megumi fell to her knees. Everyone called out to her "Megumi!" They yelled. A tear slowly came running down her face. The boy slowly started getting up, he was barely effected it seemed. On the other hand Megumi was tremendously effected. She tried getting up but her legs wouldn¡¯t allow it, she kept falling and stumbling to the ground. "What The Hell Megumi!?" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed.


    The boy started walking over towards Megumi. Unfortunately no one could move everyone was sitting there watching not knowing what to do. How do we stop him if we can barely touch him? Kenta wondered to himself. Deeply shocked by it no one would even attempt to help Megumi as he was approaching her Megumi''s art disappeared. The boy noticed that she was not moving and then he got down on his knee to check if she was breathing and he noticed that she was not. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    He bent down and whispered in her ear "this is your fault this happened to you." Enjo¡¯s art was wavering the barrier was shaking and vibrating as if was going to brake. "Enjo it¡¯s been a long time you need to rest" Mr.Howkuu said. Thank you Enjo please bare with us a little while longer until we can get him under control Mr. Howkuu thought to himself. Meanwhile the boy threatened to take her body to the Yurusemasen River.


    He began picking her body up and carrying her, the group didn¡¯t know if he was about to fly away or not. So Tasyoukee stood up and ran over confronting him the boy placed her back on the ground and he became invisible again then he was behind Tasyoukee grabbing him and throwing him over to Enjo¡¯s barrier. Hitting it so hard the barrier began showing cracks in it. Tasyoukee could no longer move his eyes opening or closing. Then the boy started walking back towards  Megumi. Kenta tried once more activating his art and to success he did.


    He knew the cost he would take with trying to attack him again, but he did it anyway. He set the boy¡¯s entire body on fire using a lot of his art. So sadly he had blood still on him and Kenta was set on fire as well. Still keeping the fire alive, he kept it going long as he could before he passed out from the burns. "DAMMIT KENTA!" Mr. Howkuu yelled. "One last time I¡¯m going to ask to ask for him, your friends are down now, I will take him and her" The boy said. They didn''t even acknowledge him so the boy did what he said he would the boy walked over turned his body into that smoke and wrapped itself around the barrier the barrier combusted.


    Enjo fell backwards and lost his art, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, "ENJO!" Mr. Howkuu exclaimed. It seemed like the fire effected Enjo like the barrier was a part of him. So the boy took the bully and Megumi then began flying away from the group. As he was coming across the gap between them and the river a gold sparkly circle appeared under the boy¡¯s feet as he was flying then it wrapped him up like a net trap.

 Chapter 69- Determination Prevails!

    The boy fell to the ground right before he could cross, and Mr. Howkuu saw so he started running to them. By the time he made it there he saw that something unordinary had happened. The boy changed back to normal his art was gone, it was crazy and scary to Mr. Howkuu but what he saw happened to Megumi was the most devastating.


    He noticed enchanted writing was all over her body, everywhere then it disappeared as Megumi awakened. Mr. Howkuu quickly ran over to her holding her head up "MEGUMI!" He exclaimed. "You¡¯re a"----- covering his mouth with her hand "don¡¯t say it I already know" she said. Mr. Howkuu and Megumi gathered the rest of the group and the boy then they started heading back to the village.

    "Whew" Mr. Howkuu said as he wiped his forehead. "Its been a long day hasn¡¯t already?" He asked. "Yes sir it has" Megumi replied. "I¡¯ll grab Enjo do you think you can get the others?" Megumi asked. "Yes I¡¯ll take them to the Ishi you go ahead and take Enjo" he said. So after Mr. Howkuu helped Megumi up off of the ground she tried activating her art and she did. "Oh Megumi how are you going to carry Enjo, he¡¯s heavier than you?" Mr. Howkuu asked.


    "No problem sir when my art is activated my skeletal arms don¡¯t feel anything really sir, picking Enjo up will be like picking up paper" she said. "Hmmm OK" Mr. Howkuu replied. Megumi walked over to Enjo and she whispered to him "hang on I¡¯m going to get you some help" she said. Megumi stood Enjo up and held him up by his shoulder.


    Also she wrapped her arm around his stomach and then she slowly started hovering over the ground bursting into the air. Wow that Megumi is really something Mr. Howkuu thought to himself. "Just hang on a few seconds longer Enjo!" Megumi exclaimed as she flew down to the ground in the village.

 Chapter 70- Hmm Mysterious Elder

    All the elders saw that Megumi was flying and they couldn¡¯t believe it. The elders were bent down to the ground kissing it and praising Hushur. Megumi looked at the elders and wondered what was happening but she had no time to wonder so she quickly got Enjo to the Ishi.


    The Ishi came out and asked "what is wrong with him?" "I don¡¯t know sir he fainted" she said. Megumi didn¡¯t want to worry anyone from the village of danger. "OK comeback tomorrow we¡¯ll keep him for an overnight stay" he said. Megumi walked out of the sanitorium and saw Mr. Howkuu. "Wow how did you get here so fast" she asked.


    "Well I was helping the others get up and come this way when---." "Excuse me are they injured as well?" The Ishi came out and asked. "Yes they are" he responded. "Well come on, don¡¯t just stand there come now bring them in" he said. "OK I¡¯ll have to explain later" Mr. Howkuu said. "I got it, I understand sir go on" Megumi replied. Megumi started walking over into the courtyard where the elders were kissing the ground and praising Hushur.


    She tapped one of the elders on her shoulder and asked "what are you all doing?" "Well we just received news on a betrayal to our village" the elderly woman said. "What news?" Megumi asked. "One of the beggars that roam our village walking to other villages found out that a person belonging to our village was found dead because of betrayal" she said.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "Oh who was it?" Megumi asked. "You¡¯ll never believe it child" she replied. "Who?" Megumi asked again. "The Great Supika!" The elderly woman exclaimed. "That rotten woman there is no honor in lying about who you are" the woman said. "What do you mean, what did she lie about?" Megumi asked.


    "They found out she was nothing but a big fraudulent witch" the elder said. "Who are you anyway, why do you have so many questions about this preposterous woman anyway instead of praising Hushur?" The elder asked. "I¡¯m just curious of who was behind such treason" Megumi said.


    "I know, poor child we were all fools we should¡¯ve known she had no relatives at all" the elder said. "Pardon me what is your name anyway?" she asked Megumi. Enraged with everything that was going on Megumi told her "my name is Megumi A---" interrupted by another elder walking into her. "Excuse me" the man said. "Well look at that some people have no manners excuse him dear" the woman said. "Now go on what was your name?" She asked. "Pardon me, may I borrow her for some help I¡¯m completely lost" the man said.


    "Annnh go on take her, she was asking me too many questions anyway" the woman replied. As the man walked away from the courtyard with Megumi, he told her "I know who you are" he said. "How?" Megumi asked. "That¡¯s not important right now but do you really want to stir up trouble here, by telling them who you are?" The man asked. "That was my grandmother and they will not talk about her as if she didn¡¯t contribute to this village!" Megumi exclaimed.

 Chapter 71- Who Is The Mysterious Elder?

    "Walk with me, we¡¯re going to have a little chat" the elderly man said. "Walk where?" Megumi asked. "We¡¯ll walk to my house and I¡¯ll explain some things to you as we make our way there" the man said. "OK" Megumi replied. "I know you know it¡¯s true" he said.


    "What¡¯s true?" Megumi asked. "That your grandmother was a witch, or at least part witch excuse me" the man said. "How do you know that?" Megumi asked. "Well your grandmother and I go way back I knew Michiko since she was a teenager" he stated. "Michiko use to give a poor, pitiful guy a chance." "She had a lot of different guys she could¡¯ve chosen other than me, but she picked me" he said. "So you dated her?" Megumi asked.


    "Why yes I know Michiko kept everything from everyone about her past but it was a reason behind it." "She couldn¡¯t allow any secrets to get out that would endanger you Megumi you were her main priority" he said. "Why was she protecting me why would I be in danger!" Megumi yelled. "Calm down it¡¯s more things you have to find out for yourself" he said. As they finally reached the elder¡¯s home, "well I guess this is my stop" he said. "Be careful Megumi you have a lot of heart and spirit, but that too could get you killed."You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    As he walked to his door, "wait who are you?" Megumi yelled out. Then he grabbed his handle on the door he took a long a pause¡­and said "I am Siaki." Next he entered his home and closed his door. Then a girl walked up to Megumi and asked her, "you are one of the Legendary Oskata right?" She asked. "Yes I am, may I know whose asking?" Megumi replied. "Oh sorry please forgive me my name is Hitomi" she responded.


    "I just wanted to know could some of my friends and I get to know you guys." "We heard of the things you all have done for this village risking your lives" Hitomi said. "Hmm I can¡¯t guarantee you¡¯ll be able to meet each and everyone of us, but you can start with me" Megumi said. "Oh OK thank you that¡¯ll be awesome" she said as she hugged Megumi.

 Chapter 72- Siaki Can He Be Trusted?

    "Wait hey how old are you?" Megumi asked. "I¡¯m eleven and my friends are around the same age." Hitomi replied. "OK I guess I¡¯ll meet you all later" Megumi said as she gave an nonchalant look. Hitomi grabbed Megumi''s arm and told her "no you must come and meet my friends right away" she said.


    "Sure thing, just give me one second" Megumi said. Megumi went and walked up to Siaki¡¯s door and knocked on it. Siaki came to the door "why yes your still here?" He asked. "Yes sir I need to know more about you" she said. "Fine after you meet with the other kids co---" "you heard me?!" Megumi asked. "Calm down and don¡¯t be so rude it is a lot of things you don¡¯t understand yet Megumi." "For one your art and what happened to you out there by the Yurusemasen River" Siaki said.


    "Wait how do you know about that?!" She exclaimed. "You should be going you don¡¯t want to keep the rest of the Wakai waiting do you?" Siaki asked. "Can you hold on one second" Megumi said. Megumi ran back to Hitomi. "Yes mam?" Hitomi replied. "Don¡¯t call me mam?" She said. "OK Megumi." "Can you all come over to my house later on, I have to do something very important right now?" Megumi asked.


    "Aww¡­ You don¡¯t like us?" Hitomi asked. "No that¡¯s not it, I just have something very special to take care of" she said. "Oh OK we will come over later but we will have to sneak out" Hitomi replied. "No don¡¯t sneak out" Megumi said. "Sorry I can¡¯t hear you, see you later" Megumi Hitomi said running away. Hmm just how I was that age, ill regard for rules Megumi thought to herself. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.


    Then she walked back up to Siaki¡¯s door and as she was about to knock on the door it was left open. "I knew you would be back ha ha eager as I was when I was around your age" Siaki said. "How well has your teacher taught all of you?" Siaki asked. "He¡¯s taught us a lot since we¡¯ve came to the school" Megumi said. "Yes I know you all know of art, humph all of you have all already have activated it, but has Salul taught you your history?" Siaki asked.


    "No what history sir? "She responded. "Ahh I see he¡¯s decided to keep that from you all, but I will tell you just in case, keep this from the others" he said. Hesitating and looking distraught. "Did you hear me?" Siaki said. "Why would I have to keep this from the others?" Megumi replied. "Because this is more a curse than it is a blessing" he said.


    "What do you mean?" Megumi asked. "Sit down I¡¯m going to go grab you something to drink" Siaki said. "OK" Megumi responded. Moments later Siaki came back with something that Megumi had never seen before. "Now this is an old drink from back in my day" Siaki said as he laughed a little. "What is it?" She asked. "Why this is Starry Feine, this here is a very great drink to have for special occasions" Siaki said.


    "Here try a little bit of it" he said. As Megumi tried it, she felt a burning sensation in her throat for a second then after, "wow this is very good I feel a little more alert" she said. "Why yes it can do that as well ha ha" Siaki said giving an old elderly laugh. "I don¡¯t want to be rude, but may we continue with the story?" Megumi asked. "Why yes excuse me I got carried away" Siaki replied.

 Chapter 73- The Truth Behind Art...

    "Where was I?" He asked. "You were talking about the history of art" Megumi said. "Oh yes that¡¯s right" Siaki said. "He talked to you all about the five triggering affects didn¡¯t he, and how to activate your art?" Siaki asked. "Yes sir" Megumi replied.


    "Nevertheless he didn¡¯t explain what art is or how it could kill you, maybe even hurt the ones you love." "It¡¯s a dark history behind all of these lies that have been told, family secrets that will shared." "Furthermore a lot of things that will hurt you emotionally, and maybe physically are sure you want to go down this path?" Siaki asked.


    "Yes sir they killed my grandmother and I WON¡¯T LET THAT GO!" Megumi exclaimed. "Just as feisty as your grandmother ahey" Siaka replied. "OK let me get serious, for one it is boundaries to art" he said. "Wait boundaries what do you mean?" Megumi asked in aw. "Look at your feet and tell what do you see?" He asked. "Well I see my shoes on my feet" she replied.


    "NO tell me in detail what do you see not just your shoes" Siaki said. "OK I see my shoes my socks on my feet then the bracelet around my right foot that I wear" she said. "Good, you see the boundary between your foot and your shoe?" He asked. "Think of that as the boundary of your art" Siaki said. "Wait was that the boundary with art?" She asked.


    "OK before art, one cannot activate his/her art without having a signature" he said. "A signature?" Megumi said. "Yes a signature as in something, that person will or would be known for doing." "Your signature of your art is your skeletal abilities the more you activate the more you¡¯ll learn about your signature" Siaki said. "Also the same thing goes for the rest of you friends, and see the unique thing about you all, the first of the Wakai." If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Is that you all activated your art before your signature was even shown" Siaki said. "WHAT?" Megumi responded. "Ha, is this too much to take in?" Siaki asked. "No sir this has all caught me by surprise that¡¯s all" she said. "Oh and I cannot forget the biggest factor, that tiredness you feel after your art has deactivated is your destined emotion."


    "Destined emotion what is that?" Megumi asked. "Destined emotion is what your art feeds off of and it allows you to conjure up art from the emotion that is the strongest in your body at the time of an occurrence." "Then the more and more you focus on that emotion your art eats it up, but be careful of how much you use it." "Now I am not one for legends, but legend has it if you use that destined emotion too much it will vanish from you" Siaki said.


    "What, I can¡¯t believe Mr. Howkuu didn¡¯t tell us anything about this" Megumi said. "Now wait just a minute before you go blaming people maybe he didn¡¯t know" Siaki said. "Also your destined emotion focuses on your mind, the more you concentrate on that emotion the stronger you art will be." "You might have noticed that your art was the strongest as it ever was when your first activated it."


    "Oh I know you have learned more abilities with your art or further enhanced capabilities." "Furthermore that falls more on your signature don¡¯t confuse the two" Siaki said. "What please tell me that is all there is" Megumi said. "No one more thing when one truly has become one with his/her destined emotion and signature he then becomes his/her Profound Design" Siaki said, "Profound Design?" Megumi uttered.


    "Yes that may be the biggest legend of them all." "Profound design was said to be the most dangerous thing ever, and when I say ever I mean forever." "You have to take in the fact of those who believe in Hushur, Witches, and many other things" he said. "Impossible!" Megumi said. "Unless there is something more powerful than those ha ha" Siaki said.


    Megumi thought to herself that he didn¡¯t know they had came in confrontation with the witches, so she kept that to herself. "Why no sir" she said. "How do you know so much about¡­ art?" Megumi asked. "Well I was around your grandmother for a long time, and she truly was The Great Supika that is fact, she also knew a lot of things" Siaki said. "Well excuse me sir, but that still doesn¡¯t explain how you know about art." Megumi said.

 Chapter 74- Was Everything A Lie?

    "I thought art was something only generated in my generation" Megumi said. "Hmm well your right, when the sickness occurred only the young were effected, but also you have a very small percentage of people who were also effected." "Nevertheless, they were cast away when the council caught wind of that" Siaki said.


    "Wait, wait so your telling me it is elders who were of the Wakai?" Megumi asked. "Indeed, no one knows if there still alive or not, but if you ask me I would say yes" Siaki said. "Do you think they have left the village?" Megumi asked. "Huh village¡­?" Siaki responded. "Our village sir" Megumi replied.


    "Oh, that¡¯s right I¡¯m sorry, why yes I think there are those who had left and some who didn''t in-case of emergency to stay and protect the ones they love" Siaki said. "Why did you seem shocked when I said village sir?" Megumi asked. "Oh I¡¯m sorry that is also something I¡¯m not use to, we the elders do not know of any villages." "That is something that was put in place to change the attitude of this new world, to try covering up old past and wounds spread across the world" Siaki said. "What, so this wasn¡¯t called a village what were we called then?!" Megumi exclaimed.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    "Are sure you want to know of these certain things, because if people do find out you know they will come for you or attack the ones you love" Siaki said. "YES, I¡¯LL TAKE THE RISK!" Megumi exclaimed. "There are regions across the world of Restaria, excuse me Serenual to you all." "We are Region S¡¯, S as in Sorrow" he said. "So are The Village of Divinity, and The Village of Thaumaturgy not really villages as-well?" Megumi asked. "Correct, but you can¡¯t share that with others" he replied. "Also Divinity, and Thaumaturgy are borders of Region S" he said.


    "Borders so that means---." "Yes Divinity, and Thaumaturgy are our allies, and neighbors." "We are supposed to help them whenever they need our help" Siaki said as he interrupted Megumi. Megumi sat there and thought to herself, so they were telling the truth they knew nothing of what happened it was those evil witches. "Are you OK?" He asked. "May I ask you, do you know how my grandmother died?" Megumi said.


    "Why yes some elders in the Thaumaturgy killed her because they thought she was a witch" he replied. "Hey you better get going to check on your friends, they¡¯re probably waiting on you at your home" Siaki said. "OK I will be back sir, I want to know more" she said.


    "OK I¡¯ll be here waiting when you¡¯re ready" Siaki said. Megumi shook her head signaling OK then she walked out the door. Siaki walked behind her, as he closed the door and looked out his window watching Megumi walk away. "I hope it won¡¯t be a day when I have to use this again" Siaki said as he grimaced while placing his hand softly on the window he then closed his curtains.

 Chapter 75- Hitomis Friends & Megumis Fresh-Start

    As Megumi walked away she thought to herself, should I trust this man. I¡¯ve been fooled before by the witches, and even my grandmother. I don¡¯t know for now, but I¡¯m only sure of one thing my friends have not deceived me. Even though Mr. Howkuu did not inform me on the origin of art, heck maybe he didn¡¯t know.


    I will just have to try and experiment with some things Siaki told me when I have some time, to see if what he said is true. Of course after I go back and learn some more from him but I must keep my focus and guard up around him in-case. "Hey Megumi." Hitomi said as she stood outside of her home. "Why hello Hitomi are these all your friends?" Megumi asked. "Yes" she replied. "Come in you guys", "OK" they all replied. "My other friends couldn¡¯t make it" Hitomi said.


    "Oh that¡¯s fine I¡¯ll have to meet them another time" Megumi said. A little girl ran up and grabbed Megumi''s arm, "hi I¡¯m Zaori I¡¯m so glad to finally meet you" she said smiling so wide. "Aww I¡¯m glad I could meet you as-well" Megumi said. Then a boy walked up in front of Megumi and bowed his head to her, "I am Kuhiro and I am very honored to meet you Megumi of The Legendary Oskata" he said. in his kind of high pitched voice. He smiled, his dimples began showing with his red cheeks. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Pulling on her other arm was another boy "you¡¯re very strong and brave I want to be like you" he said. "Oh¡­ wow I don¡¯t know what to say I¡¯m flattered." "May I ask what is your name" she said. "My name is Dobu¡¯" he responded. Two others were standing behind the everyone else in the room. "I¡¯m sorry Megumi they¡¯re shy, and twins" Hitomi said. "Twins?" Megumi shockingly said. "Yes, they are twins, identical to be exact I will introduce them if you don¡¯t mine Madam Megumi" Hitomi said.


    "No, go ahead I don¡¯t mine it¡¯s fine with me" she replied. "OK he is Niko on the left and that is Tota¡¯ on the right." "The way we can tell the difference between the two is by their attitudes." "Tota¡¯ is usually very scared of things that he usually does not see on a daily basis." "It can be people, objects, organisms, anything."


    "Also Niko usually covers and shields him when he is scared like now, he is the older brother by ten minutes" Hitomi said. "Oh, wow identical twins that is very cool, there is nothing to be scared of Tota¡¯ it¡¯s alright" she said. "Huh¡­ she thinks we¡¯re cool" Tota¡¯ said very timidly. "Yes she does c¡¯mon bro let¡¯s meet her" Niko replied. So they turned around slowly and they both gave Megumi a hug.


    "Now see there I¡¯m nothing to fear" Megumi said laughingly. "Can you show us you art?" Hitomi asked. "Oh ha-ha no not now, when I practice in the courtyard, you should all come by and watch." "It¡¯s too dangerous to attempt in front of people in a home, I only do that if that is necessary" Megumi said.


    "How about we play a quick game?" Megumi said. "Yea a game" they all replied. "What game?" Zaori asked. "The Game of Charza do you all know of it?" Megumi asked. "No mam?" Hitmoi replied.

 Chapter 76- Deja` vu Fate

    "OK it¡¯s quite simple, the game may determine your fate, or destiny." "We take a leaf, ask a question and write the name of the person on the leaf that we¡¯re asking about." "If it falls that means no to that fate of question, but if it stays on the tree branch that we place it on that means yes" Megumi said.


    "Awesome!" Dobu¡¯ exclaimed. "Who wants to go first?" She asked as they started heading outside of her home. "Never mind that, we can all go at the same time" she replied. "Cool!" Hitomi shouted. They were heading to the same place that the group first played Charza. "Megumi how do you know so much about this stuff?" Hitomi asked. Hm Megumi thought to herself "haha I¡¯m still learning as I go on, you too Hitomi will become stronger when you reach our class one day if you become of the Wakai" Megumi said.


    "Hey do you ever think we¡¯ll be able to meet the one who saved the village from that fire?" Zaori asked. Megumi just looked at Zaori and slowly looked up into the sky at the stars. "Everyone pick up a leaf" she said. As they picked up a leaf Megumi did as-well writing Yuuta on the leaf. She asked "Is Yuuta really gone, will he never return?" Then Megumi climbed the tree a little bit and placed it on a not too high branch. "You all will have to give it a couple of moments, it may not be decided right away" She said.


    "Oh, and your patient, you¡¯re the best" Tota¡¯ said. Giving a smile that was widening. "No a friend taught me that" Megumi said. "Taught you what patience?" Hitomi asked. "Yes, if this is really true we should give this some more time" Megumi said. Megumi stood there looking in the sky at the stars, "look, look, look, mine fell" as Tota¡¯ pointed. "Niko and I both shared the same question" Tota¡¯ said. "What was it?" Megumi asked.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    "Are we guaranteed to not be of the Wakai" he said. "Oh wow nice question" Megumi replied. "Look mine has stayed still the entire time and mine has been there long as yours" Hitomi shouted. "What was your question?" She asked. "Would it ever be possible for me to become strong and start my own council for the village?" Hitomi said.


    "Hmm another very nice question" she replied. Everyone looked and they saw a leaf falling, "whose is that" "look" "no, no, no," Dubo¡¯ said. Then the leaf came to  a halt it fell on the lowest branch. "Wow!" Megumi exclaimed. "What was your question" she asked. "Would I ever make it out of this village to see other villages to help, protect, and learn with them" he said.


    "All of you are so amazing in your own way" Megumi said. "Your leaf hasn¡¯t moved since you placed it up there, Zaori safe to say your question was a yes what was it anyway?" She asked. "Id rather keep it to myself mam" Zaori responded. "OK that¡¯s perfectly fine" Megumi said. "So that leaves only Kuhiro," when she said that Kuhiro¡¯s leaf began slowly falling Kuhiro slowly walked up to the tree and just watched. Then the leaf fell and hit the base of the tree.


    "What does that mean?"He asked. "It¡¯s still on the tree so that means undecided I assume" She replied. "What was your question?" Megumi asked. "Would I ever found out who took my shoes that day in class?" He replied. "He-he" Hitomi chuckled. "Hey what¡¯s so funny?" Kuhiro asked. Well he might need more challenging tasks in the future Megumi thought to herself. We been here long enough and I guess I have the answer to my question, she thought to herself as a slow tear ran down her face.


    Megumi didn¡¯t want them to see her like that, "lets go for now since we¡¯re done" she said. "As they were walking away, are you alright mam?" Hitomi asked. "Yes I¡¯m fine just my all----." "LOOK!" Tota¡¯ exclaimed "your leaf is falling." They all turned around and watched Megumi''s leaf fall to the ground nowhere near the tree.


    Megumi fell to the ground full of tears, "Megumi are you alright mam?" Dobu¡¯ asked. She lifted her head up wiping her tears with her arm smiling, "yes I¡¯m better than ever" she said. "Let¡¯s go back to my home" she replied.

 Chapter 77- Mr. Howkuus New Resolve

    They all started walking back to Megumi''s home and they all sat down on the floor and talked to Megumi asking her what did she like to do. They talked for a while, meanwhile Mr. Howkuu was still there at the sanitorium outside waiting, thinking to himself.


    How could I let them go into battle again knowing they weren''t ready. For now on, I vow to never let them go into battle with sustaining injuries, or plaguing health unless it is for the sake of the village. As he held his head down he swiped his forehead of sweat. With the sunset finally ending and the moon risen, Mr. Howkuu walked away from the sanitorium and started clearing his head. Questioning himself¡­ hmm two trips to other villages and it could¡¯ve cost them their lives not counting mine.


    Am I the teacher for them, or should I pass this task on to someone else. Mr. Howkuu began walking towards the gates, hmmm Mr. Howkuu uttered as he gave a little small grin. Maybe a little walk will clear my mind he thought to himself. Mr. Howkuu walked outside of the gates and closed them behind him. Mr. Howkuu just walked down the narrow path of darkness. Not knowing where he was going it was so dark, he thought to himself we need to build lights to go out here you can¡¯t see anything.


    With his right hand in his pocket he kept walking, then a small tear ran down his face thinking of Yuuta. Dammit how could I let him save us again, and putting his life in danger. To think that we would even encounter witches let alone, whoever those two elders were from The Village of Divinity. Mr. Howkuu stopped walking and thought to himself, something terrible is going on and I have to get to the bottom of it. Even if I do, hell what can I do to stop it. I need to learn how to defend myself along as to protecting the others.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    I don¡¯t have art, that is a rare sporadic trait. I¡¯m not from The Village of Divinity so I can¡¯t connect spirituality. Nevertheless, I¡¯m not from The Village of Thaumaturgy I can¡¯t perform spells. What is it that I can do. Mr. Howkuu began walking again and wondering one who cannot possess art is considered a civilian by regulation.


    Those who possess art are considered noble, cursed, or either feared. Also, the elders from Divinity are merely considered gullible and foolish. However, those from Thaumaturgy are considered evil, heartless, and deceiving. How, when, and where would I be able to choose. Then as he kept walking Mr. Howkuu noticed he was coming up to the HemYahlasin Tree, should I give this tree a chance he thought.


    Heck why not my luck can¡¯t get any worse he thought. So, Mr. Howkuu laid down on the ground on his back and looked at the stars. He then placed his hand on the tree while laying there and said aloud "is there an answer for all these dark and malicious ways of others" Mr. Howkuu said. Mr. Howkuu laid there for ten minutes maybe more as he watched the clouds cross each other. It hit him, that¡¯s it what if I can come up with a new way to defend myself and others.


    Somehow, I could create my own way of defending others it wouldn¡¯t be art, spirits, nor spells. However, it would be something damming I wouldn¡¯t to use it unless I had to, so for now I will work on contracting this new-found power that I have a fiery desire for. I must be careful though if, they were to ever get wind of this that would be the end of me he thought to himself.


    So that alone got Mr. Howkuu to began walking back towards the village. Down the same dark path that he started upon, all of a sudden he heard that same sound from before. It sounded like a dozen brooms sweeping a mat or something. Mr. Howkuu quickly stepped off of the path and ran fast as he could to the nearest bush. The sound grew softer and softer until he heard it no more.


    However he did hear talking while he was hiding. The voices said "dammit he got away, I think it was the teacher, and by himself" one of the voices said. "You can¡¯t tell me he would be that stupid" the other voice said. Then Mr. Howkuu peeked out from the bush to see who it was and quickly he dropped back down.
