Chapter 14: Secrets of the Shadows

On the frozen lake Roultz and his father Tahran were moving incredibly fast to the point they were like blurs to the naked eye.

Roultz skids back over the lake after blocking an attack from his father and he comes to a stop he narrows his eyes under his hood as he watched as his father appears in front of him feet away.

“You feel it don’t you? Your Souruburēdo is starting to awaken due to you accepting it.” Tahran said looking at his son who had his blade raised in front of him.

“Yes. I hear its song starting to sing loudly in my ears and I understand its meaning and at first I refused it, but now I accept it.” Roultz said seriously as he tightens his grip on his sword staring at his father who was standing in a relax stance staring back calmly at his son.

“Good and if you had noticed you can see some differences with your blade,” Tahran said and Roultz’s eyes look down the sword saw that the chain was attached to it was no longer there and the guard of the sword was gone too.

“I take it by accepting the Souruburēdo these changes happen.” Roultz said not needing an answer to know what was going on with the blade and its changes to it.

“The blade is still connected to your soul, but now you can make it come to you by will and not have be bound by the chain anymore. Also,” Tahran said raising his own Souruburēdo up and soon the blade starts glowing blue giving it a glow that was like the moon. “You can channel you Aura through it to help you in a fight.” He said right before the blade bursts into blue flames making the blade now be on fire.

Roultz widened his eyes a bit after seeing that and he raised his sword more and readied himself for the oncoming attack. Tahran soon leaps for his son really fast even for Roultz to keep up and Tahran slammed his sword down onto his son’s blade who tried to block the attack.

Tahran brings his other hand over the flaming blade and Roultz watched as tries to push his father’s blade off his one so he could try to muster an offense.

Tahran looked at his son before clicking his fingers and soon the fire on his blade just rushed forward all at once and Roultz growled as the fire causes an explosion upon impact and Tahran had jumped back landing some distance away from his son who had managed to dodge most of the attack, but still took some damage.

His right glove, hood and the top right half of his jacket were burned off and his right arm and some of his chest were burned from the attack, but he can heal it.

“That was only an example of what you can do with a Souruburēdo if you mastered it and channel your energy through it.” Tahran said not showing emotion towards his son being hurt seeing he only used a bit of his power to demonstrate what he was teaching his son and he knew that his son’s Hybrid’s abilities can easily heal those wounds he got.

“Even than it was powerful,” Roultz said admitting that if his father used all of his strength than Roultz would be one roosted Hybrid and he was thankful this training seeing it was teaching something he never knew before and it could give him a fighting chance against Dolaroc and his 7. “I obviously have a lot to learn if I need to fight Dolaroc and have any chance to actually beat him.” Roultz said admitting at his current strength he would be killed easily by Dolaroc and Tahran nodded in agreement to that.

“Yes Dolaroc’s strength increased over the years and will keep getting stronger at his current rate, but he can be stopped,” Tahran said seriously and paused for a moment before looking down with his eyes before looking back up at his son. “By you.”

“Me? Why?” Roultz confused by what his father said to him and Tahran turns his back to Roultz and looked up at the sky.

“The Souruburēdo you have was created to kill Doln-Kals.” He simply said and Roultz relaxes himself as he stares at his father with confusion from that.

“Have you ever wondered how the 7 were created?” Tahran asked confusing Roultz even more as he never thought that before, but now that his father asked; how were the 7 created?

“How?” Roultz simply asked and his father was quiet for a moment before explaining.

“Dolaroc injects his blood into them causing their blood and aura to react differently and violently to his to due him being contaminated by that energy that caused The Purge all those years ago,” Tahran started off as he remembers what he learned from the reports of Dolaroc’s experiments he did to create the 7. “Most are killed within an hour of the injection, but those that survive the first hour succumb to a suddenly craving for blood that kill themselves trying to get it as they were drove insane from it.”

“Charming.” Roultz simply said as he listens carefully and closely to what was being said.

“Yeah,” Tahran said back quickly before continuing. “Those that don’t go insane from the craving are then put into tubes with thousands of wire stuck into them injecting more energy right into their veins causing a massive increase of their auras and the sudden increase of raw energy in them is like them getting acid pumped into them and those that fight it are burned from the inside out, but those that accept it tend to fall into a coma as their body starts evolving and adapting to the power.”

“Soon when they awaken their aura had increase so much that they have lost most of their former selves and become addicted to the energy that caused their evolution, but some aren’t but they all become walking bodies of energy that can destroying a simple human with flick of their finger.” Tahran said now looking at Roultz who was listening intently as he could remember going through some of those experiments, but something was troubling him.

“Wait already had that type of energy in me and I ended up as Wrath of the 7.” Roultz said pointing that out.

“Yes that’s why you went under a different experiment that caused your body to be the way it is today.” Tahran explained to his son who scowls and looks down at his sword in his hand.

“That explains why I got a Souruburēdo and I guess Dolaroc tried to control me seeing I would have been his most powerful tool and it’s best to keep the thing that can kill you close to you so you watch it at all times.” Roultz said and what he said was true seeing it is best to keep the only thing that can kill you close so you can keep it under surveillance at all times and not have it turn against you later.

“Agreed that’s why we have to get stronger so you can put Dolaroc down for everything he did to our family and to everyone had murdered or made their lives a living hell.” Tahran said seriously.

“In that case let’s keep training I’m not going to get stronger by standing around and doing nothing while he sits on his glorious ass and cause more pain to others.” Roultz said seriously getting into a stance ready to continue training so he can get stronger and get payback on Dolaroc.

“Yes,” Tahran said twirling his sword in his hand before bringing it to his side and stare at his seriously. “Come my son we have a lot to do.”

“Damn right!” Roultz lunged and his father did the same slam each other’s blade against one another pushing hard against each other.

‘Dolaroc you’ll pay for everything you did to me, my father, my mother and to everyone! That I swear!’ Roultz seriously as he continued training with his father so can get stronger, understand his aura more and most importantly be ready for when he has to face Dolaroc himself.
