**ALPHA**

 

Almighty creator, first and father of all, crafter of realms and with the power of all. The first existence, the Alpha, The Lord to all.

Created worlds,Created beings, created races, created trees, river planes and places, Created all.

On numerous worlds his power and creation known.

And there he assigned his first created beings with duties to look upon each world where they would be The judge of all.

These beings, the Guardians, were trusted with power to stand alone and firm and to see through all.

The Guardians look upon mankind as they are but mere watchers, not to indulge ever in the life of his holy's creations.

The beings,.the humans the Alpha made, they were oh so perfect, with little to no power but looks and behaviour all child like.

But perfection bestows thoughts that deemed itself evil, the Creator felt lost as his beings follows peril.

The unknown depths of their evil give rise to an Untapped force, a force of evil manifestation where it came to be known as Knowles.

Through this came the evil from Knowles as they manifested through ways unknown.

One Guardian was enchanted and fell to this force unknown. He shuns his creator and shuns all good and righteous ,he henceforth is consumed with the evil force of Knowles, therefore he reigned in the sovereignty of dark matter, he henceforth be named K'theyle.

K'theyle waged war on all creations with beings he called devils.

The Alpha filled with love for his children knows what begotten them.

Meanwhile The guardians pleaded that his creations Be baptized of their sins and all evil and freedom be removed.

The Alpha states that "Beings without freedom of will ,be simply puppets of creations and are just flawed and below, they are all next to living".

The Aplha give commands to his guardians to look upon his creation still, mankind are just naive and hopes that good are still.

While time marches and mankind looks more dimmed.

Evil enlarges everywhere,in every realms afar, devils manifests on lands and they brought with them extinction of all creations.

The guardians looked to Alpha and the Alpha, he commands , that mankind still be granted freedom with power now bestowed true to each nature and will.

With the first manifestation of powers brought about balance in every realm.

Humans who inherit these powers were known as Archons, the saviours.

Due to their non-interference.

Archons were worshipped as Gods.

The Guardians angered and displeased gave them limiters and they introduce themselves to the realms, thus the birth of religion begins,as all religion worshipped Alpha, The Guardians were now quite pleased.

But evil is ever present but now they can be dealt with.

Humans now depends on Archons.

To serve and protect them each.

And the Alpha sits on his throne,

ever watching from there afar.

waiting as though it will happen soon.

the move of K'theyle the vile.

"That's the latest prose from Arch-bishop Mha'rajh".

Istha says, closing her green lit eyes, rubbing it with gentle slender fingers

"is that the end? Mama!I want to hear more". little Mary said, a hot headed cute little girl with red colored hair clearly visible under the Echeron lights, sleeping next to mother Istha.

Children surrounding Istha shouted"More more more".

Mary stands on the bed, looks around and asks her siblings about the story they just heard was about.

"As my position as the eldest, Ahem!*clears throat* I will tell you if you don't" she says.

the children murmurs, Melca stood up, a small girl with chubby cheeks with a short and straight bowl cut hair do, She answers"it's a st-story of Awpha and Althons saves the home".

Mary chuckles "Not just our home, silly! ".

the children laughs, Filling Melca's eyes with tears

Mother Istha pulls Melca closer and deeply hugs her and says "She's not wrong you know, our home is still part of the world".

Mary continues Istha's words by saying" yes that's right, Melca's right, she's brave enough for answering. "

"I was also gonna"

says Marc another boy with a wollen hat.

"Yeaa well, you snoze you lose, Melca wins"

Melca shyly laughs, looking at Mary with gleamy, teary eyes.

"Yeah, but with silly half assed answers". says Glove with a brown puffy curly hair

"laangwage" says Melca, face all red with anger. Erupting the rest to an another scene of laughter.

Mary throws a pillow, scoring a headshot, making Glove fall from his bed. Children continued laughing.

"You don't even Dare try an answer, you're not brave, Melca is brave just like The Arch-Archons".

The Children continues making a funny scene, noises, laughing, play fighting with each others.

Istha looks around the children filled with teary, happy and accomplished emotions.

she thought that this happy little moments is all she wants, a family and now she's proud that she got one.

She looks towards Mary she asks"what's taking your brothers too long? "..

Glove replied. still carrying the pillow.

"I think they're playing outside again"

"Grrr!They better not wait for their father again." says Istha with red eyes and a comedic angry steam from her nose.

Outside the house, Outside the gates and rock piled fences, just besides a pillar holding the sign on top of the gate which read *Hamill home for all*.

Two boys sparring.

A fierce straight right.

which got blocked, pushed down, immediately followed by a left hook from the other,

slightly grazing the nose.

Both fighters backs away.

"Heheh! I almost got you".

"pfft!I just allowed you to do that".

Both looks towards the walls, a small boy, with bloodred colored eyes, fierce like he wasn't afraidnof anything, standing battle ready with all limbs on the ground just like a stance made by predators while stalking it's prey.

" Raa'kuun! who won? ". asks Doubleu, short black hair, pitch black eyes like a black hole, dangerous.

"Meeee" says Raa'kuun standing upright.

Arthur smacks his face, shaking his head

"why ask Raa when he can't even piss without wetting his pants".

"Pee pee peew" says raa'kuun in the background taking out his little PeePee.

Arthur wanted to look like their father donning a buzzcut, his eyes was beautiful, unique, one could tell a slight hint of orange colour followed by a large dot of hazeled colour pupil.

Arthur points doubleu's nose. "Plus I clearly hit your nose, you just got lucky I didn't KO you".

Doubleu rubbing his nose replied"I let you grazed me a bit, to get your hopes up, you were losing so, I had to give you a little push to fight better, Idiot!! ".

while the boys are talking,a tall shadowy figure appears slowly creeping towards them from the bushes opposite to the gate

"Oh yeah!? Wanna give it another go? ".

"Absolutely! I'll not give you any more chance this time".

"want to fight too" Raa'kuun gets on all fours again.

The boys gets on their stance. Ever so ready to smack another..

"HAGRAAHHH!!!! "

"Wahhh" the two boys jumps to the side startled.

Raa'kuun cries. "wahh!! peed pants"

A deep bold laughter " Hahahaha".

"what did mama told you about waiting for big strong Papa?".

"Papaa" the boys shouted running hugging their father Huck le'hault, a tall well built man, strong jawed, with a short buzzcut hair with no facial hairs and a deep scar on the right side of his cheek from the end of his eyebrow meeting all the way to his lips. In a glance

Huck was definitely not a pushover, and from his scar he may habe went on a war or two.

"were you practicing again? "

"yeah and I grazed doubleu's nose".

" I let you did that"

Arthur and doubleu lock eyes while being hugged almost crushing raa'kuun whose on the middle.

"and I PEED PANTS" RAA'KUUN says with a runny nose.

"Yeah!?!! well daddy brought lots of meat for everyone". he puts down the boys.

picks up a big bag, bigger, taller than the boys. carrying it on his back.

"let's go in, I'm starving".

Just as they approach the front door.

The door flew open.

Istha and the children erupts from the door

"Papa's back".

"Papa"

"Papa who, where are those idiots I'll give them a proper smack and why are you so late? " A cute angry istha rants.

"aaat and leu fight" says raa'kuun crying crawling out under Huck's legs.

Istha grabs the child, holding him rubbing his back.

"Arthur le'hault, Doubleu le'hault come out here ".

The boys scared, they slowly came out from each side of Huck's leg.

"Are you two fighting again?".

"we were just practicing" doubleu said looking down

"we just want to be ready for action when we become archons like Dad". He looks at Huck

"Archons? Did your father give you one of his talks again? " Istha looks at Huck. Face all red, ready to erupt like a volcano St any given moment.

Huck gives out a nervous smile.

Even the strongest of men cowers in front of his Queen.

Raa'kuun looks down at his brothers, taunting, with a develish grin.

He sticks out his tongue.

The two boys looks up with disgust.

"*PHEW* First!!!! everyone inside".

Istha points towards their lit up sitting room.

still holding raa'kuun.

"Finally the devil calms" sighs Huck and the two boys whispering to each other.

"ah! what that? ".

"I brought lots of meat" says a nervouse Huck pushing Istha and the rest inside.

The night was silent as the Hamil household prepares their meal, cluster of comets or as the villagers outside says fell above the sky of Frivel. They shone fiery bright and appears as the comets were like stars just for the small village.

Frivel, a small rural village where Huck and Istha's Hamill home strived for 4 years.

it was a small village slightly far from one of the main kingdom, The kingdom of Rickholde. Frivel was on the outermost part of it's borders. It was mainly a village for farmers. Rickholde stand proud for it's natural location being rich in minerals and the land was fruitful. Farms, were vast and these places are made populated by workers and their families for better moral and high work rates. So villages were numerous with each Village holding high value for the Rickholde Kingdom. Villages mere numerous.

From Frivel to the main town of Rickholde a vast forest with mild dangers stood in

between, this forest covers Frivel throughout and across the end of Frivel only the hill border remains. The distance between Frivel and the town was a mere day, horse cart ride.

In this Alune forest a guard outpost stood firm. It stood in the middle as to provide support for horse carts in terms of accidents, Guards for a rare sightings of magical beasts and monsters. They patrol Frivel road which was fitted with large mass Echeron lights constantly. The forest engulfs The village from every direction, only ending with another village far from Frivel to the north and to the south of Frivel, Alune Forest's deepest parts, not many det afoot in the deepest parts and most of the land masses were still unexplored.

Rickholde stood in the eastern part of Midland, meeting the huge Felemic ocean from the east. The whole border of the kingdom stood tall as if they were lifted purposedly by some powerful Archons. It was strategic and the hardest to seige among the four kingdoms of Midland. Four Barracks stands on the hill top border of Rickholde, serving as a lookout point, Although war between kingdom were rare,skirmishes were somehow common for outside territories, you never know when trouble would occur.

Because of the walls Rickholde was also called hillwall kingdom.

The lively sounds from the Hamil household was disrupted by a warning bell.

it rang non stop. A guard shouted "everyone, out of your house now!"."Danger, Danger, danger get out of your houses quickly"

.

"Huh! what's that? "

"never heard that bell before?" the children murmured.

"HONEY" Istha gasps, her joyous face turns to that of a mother worrying.

Huck stands, walks, opened their door only to be met with a surge of shockwave and a sudden fiery rock from above fells and completely demolished the neighbour's house.

He looks up only to find more comets falling nearly covering Frivel's sky.

The whole village was in a complete state of chaos and panic. Villagers out of their houses scattered around.

A guard shouts "stay in groups, stay near the rocks, Comets don't fall at the same place or close to each other"."I hope" he whispers.

The children of Hamil came towards the door.

"Papa? "

"honey" says Istha.

"Everything is going to be alright"Huck says.

"Can I punched those they look strange and particularly heavy" he thought while a drop of Sweat falls from his brows.

"Everyone out and run towards that rock"

as the family ran towards the rock, more rocks continued raining down almost everywhere .

Istha squats down "Children, one, two, three, four, five, Six, seve-- where's Raa'kuun? "." where's my boy" she cried

"here" shouts raa'kuun hugging Hucks leg.

"come here all of you, get between us".

"now don't be scared it's almost over"

the children still scared and shriveling all over.

"Papa, Mama Uncle Mooma's house"

Mary points to their neighbour's house.

A sudden chill of sadness but a hint of joyous relief befells the parents.

As it could also had been them that got smashed.

Not long after The comets rain was finally over. Villagers murmured

"what was that all of a sudden".

One guard shouts"Everyone please calm down, gather up and help us in identifying casualties". The people started gathering together towards the village square fountain which was at the middle.

The villager reported a total of 4 casualties.

Sad but relieved in the numbers.

The Guard shouts again" everything is now alright, we will settle this matter tommorow, we will stand guard if anything happens again which is highly unlikely, you folks return to your houses, if your house was destroyed you can stay the night at the main hall, but for now please just try and rest up".

Morale was low, 8 houses were destroyed, however fire from the rocks was not an issue as it strangely did not spread at all and the fire simultaneously fades after every impact.

All seems well until the rocks cracks in a form of a makeshift doors, out came men with weapons doning black leathery shirts with pants and boots to match, the dark night was not to blame for the guards not capable of identifying these men as the lights from numerous Echeron stone lightposts lit up the whole village.

"Who -who are you" says one villager.

"we are simple people, simple scientists testing new things".

"what do you want" a guard asks.

"Nothing much simply testing" says one of the men.

"Your tests killed 4 of our people, how do you wish to answer for your crimes" an angry guard shouts at the intruders.

"And again we simply wish to test"

"enough of this, speak or die".

"Test test test, we are just testing".

suddenly a cutlass swings accross, cleanly beheading the guard who was locked and battle ready. The guards were out skilled and outnumbered

The villagers panicked.

"battle stations" shouts the guards "someone burn the light" the light which was a signal to be used in times of needs for reinforcements.

the light went off. soaring Hugh in the sky.

"Frivel needs reinforcements "." ring the bells".

the outpost of alune forest guard shouts.

they mobilized immediately however they feared they might be late.

The village ensues total panick, blood spilled everywhere.

Huck managed to escort his children and wife back to their house.

"Papa, Mama,".

the children cried.

"Papa will save you"

"just stay quiet children, Papa is strong , don't worry" says Istha scared for her children. Hugging Melca and raa'kuun the two most youngest tightly.

Arthur and Doubleu rushed to Huck's side.

"Papa we can fight too"

"I know boys"."but lay low for now"

"if the time comes, just protect your siblings they are afraid, it's your job to protect them and my job is to protect you all".

"Roger" the boys replied looking at their father then each other.

Outside.

screams, swords clashing, all sorts of chaotic noises fills the theme.

A massive battle ensues, Guards, men from the villagers, the all black intruders were lock in battle, on the losing end were the denizens of Frivel.

"I have to get out there" Huck talks to himself but scared for his family.

"All of you stay here until I say so".

"We are coming too" ever so brave, Arthur and Doubleu stands ready.

"No! stay here, you have to protect your mother and siblings".

the boys turns back and turns again to their father, they nodded,

"Be careful" Arthur says.

"give them hell"Doubleu commands.

Just when Huck tries stepping outside.

A loud shout echoes.

"Chaos Tempest".

A massive whirldwind, with Massive destructive power swept and destroyed everything in it's vicinity.

In the middle was an Archon from the intruders, killing, destroying everything friends and foes alike and his whirlwind was only getting bigger.

The whirlwind swept away the front sitting room area of the Hamil house bringing Huck along with it.

"Paaapaaaaa"

"Honeyyy"

Huck flew high up in the air. The wreckage from his house breaks apart leaving him neigh *****.

He takes a deep breathe and shouts

"Limitless"

"Golemite"

Huck's entire body was covered with what the people simply called divinity rock.

Huck's body way covered with a Whitish Grey aura.

The intruder Archon looked up.

But without any time for reaction.

Huck lands on top of him fist first, crushing the intruder from head to toe.

"Out of my village". Huck shouts standing up. From what they saw, he looked like a sculpture of fine white greysih divinity rock, shining with aura.

Attracting attention from his peers.

"Magma ball" shouts an archon intruder from the left.

Blasting a dark red orb with lava covering the orb, leaving behind little drips of lava in it's wake.

"Damned Firefly".

Says Huck, Crushing the orb with one hand.

"Shit shit shit" the magma Archon gets nervous of Huck's strength.

"That was full powered".

"Shit!! take this" blasting multiple lava balls at Huck from both his hands

"Annoying" says Huck charging and chopping the orbs in half. The orbs didn't do any damage to Huck.

He was fierce, his power, his rock armor was one of the toughest in the realm.

Huck continues charging.

"Shit" the magma archon tries making space, running back searching for advantage.

All the while the rampaging Huck charges through multiple intruders, knocking them back, some were sent flying.

Just as Huck nearly speared the Magma Archon.

Another Archon from the intruders throws an attack on Huck from the right,

A wild haymaker hitting nothing but the ground cracking it, setting up a tremor.

"He Dodged that?". Huck rolls and regaind posture, he looks up, sees what appeared to be a hammer arm attached to a man

"sledgeHammer punch" says a hammer armed Archon, with an arm definitely resembling a pure black sledgehammer which slowly returns to normal.

Huck actually finds humor amidst his anger and fear for his family and his village.

He actually ate a small hammer crab the night before.

"Karma?"

Huck getting on all fours making a posture similar to what modern Olympic runners used before the trigger banged.

The two intruder Archons stands side by side their undivided attention set on Huck.

"This guy is strong, he dodged my attack in a notice and I'm already at my timer".

"Yeah but can this shit take on two limit breakers at once? "

"Limit breaker".

"Magma shogun"(Magma Archon engulfs himself with magma armor)

They stood battle ready.

Huck knowing he had no time to lose.

Grits his teeth he burst forward with extreme speed.

Knocks away the hammer crab archon a couple of yards. He collided with the village storage for harvested crops, ramming against the wall head first. The other slightly avoided the impact.

Huck rollls after the impact of the two, quickly changing targets.

"How can a stone move that fast?"

Magma archon thought, incapable of accepting Huck's speed.

"Lava field"."You're in my domain".

The archon sets up a field of lava quicksand, however the radius was short, Hinting the magma archon's short range in aura.

But this also made attacking a little hard as Huck's oppent Now has a pit he can submerged into.

With new-found confidence The enemy grins.

"You shit". "I have the upper hand "

he raises his hand's

"Rain of chaos".

Launches a couple of magma balls in the sky, two times bigger than the lava orb.

Like a mortar directing volleys at Huck.

The hammercrab archon stumble out of the storage.

Slightly dazed,

"Where am I?" facing the wrong direction.

"That guy was strong".

Devil's luck came to play, he saw Istha and the children pulling in a villager to cover inside the house.

"Drukang can keep the rock guy busy"

"I'll wait out his timer and I'll kill him then"

The guy thought.

"But first a snack". he said,

giving out a dispacable devilish grin.

Magma balls crahses down, miniature comets.

Huck wasn't troubled.

He smashes the first, but this time the rocks were a Tad bit hot, even for huck.

But dodging it wasn't a problem.

"Tch! Rock's don't move like that".

"just melt already, You shit".

Huck getting close jumps towards Drukang.

"You kidding me?, is he trying to die?".

Drukang thought, slightly relieved.

"Ahahaha, Stupid Shit!! Even divinity rocks melt, In this magma pool" Drakang shouted.

Huck landed at the very end of Drakang's aura as his field was limited to his aura.

He digs his arms into the ground, manifest his aura in a straight line just covering the width of Drakang's magma field,

"this is a burial".

Pulls the ground with Drakang and his field and folds it up like a carpet.

covering Drakang with the ground itself, leaving no space but only for Drakang's body.

This Disabled Drakang.

Huck knows this won't keep Drakang for long.

With a wide mark chaos in motion.

Huck gives no time for pity and second thoughts.

"Your magma would hurt me if I was to hit you head on"

Huck giving Drakang's his last word, and a slight notice to his power"

"This will end you, pitiful brat"

Huck punched through the ground where Drakang was buried.

What crashes in whitish Grey, gets brushed in strokes of dark red, when Huck pulls back his arm.

"A fitting grave".

Death, the beginning.

Frivel, what used to be a happy, hard-working village, turned to a cemetery overnight.

Guards and men resisting the massacre dwindled down, lifeless bodies now kept the village grounds company.

One man filled with desire to keep his family safe still fights on.

Huck's first thought when he looked around the ruined village was the fate of the villagers, a slight glance of some hiding was enough for him to keep fighting, afterall his families were also in hiding.

Fear for their survival and anger towards the intruders turned into fuel for a humble killing machine.

"He killed Drakang".

An intruder told his peers, afraid to engage

Huck.

"What? "

The scattered intruders focuses on Huck still standing on the patch of ground where he buried Drakang.

"We got a fighter".

Says an intruder, walking slowly towards Huck.

"Surround him" he says.

Little to no time Huck was surrounded, this issued command carried out quickly, hinting on the intruders being trained and the one in command now shows himself.

"Test subjects usually squirm around like you". "nothing too serious, that magma brat shouldn't be careless".

"Hmm! it also seems like you're running out of time".

Huck's limitless aura starts to fade a little.

Huck pays no Heed,his focus was all on the safety for his family.

He looks around, he saw the hammer crab archon heading towards his house. The rest of them surrounding him wasn't worth an attention.

His goal was set, The hammer crab archon has to die.

Just then two men surrounding him launches a surpirse attack from behind, leaping in an attempt to ****** their blades on his back.

"Hmmmh" huck released an earth spike suddenly.

Impaling the two.

"Fools" the leader said.

But just after Huck uses a move his bright aura diminished, his limitless form was up, he was now at a huge disadvantage against the intruders.

He sweats, still, even though powered down, he wasn't undetermined at all.

He stands battle ready.

"My my, if only you have enough time"

"Attack! ".

All the men surrounding Huck charges from all direction.

Huck spins once and stomped the ground

Cracking it, summoning rock spikes and even the force was strong enough to launch blocks of ground up, acting as shield, some debris knocks out some men, the spikes impaled a couple. Some were experienced enough to avoid the sudden move.

Huck uses this moment to dig under,making a tunnel leading to the house.

"Where's he? ".

"He disappeared? ".

"You fools!".the leader closes his eyes.

Sensed the aura underground,

"There you are rat".

he sprints a couple of feet

Aims one hand on the ground

"Vacuum bubble".

"huh! nothing happened? " wondered a confused henchmen.

"No idiot! Captain placed his bubble underground ".

The captain raises his arm.

"I caught a rat"

A bubble pop out of the ground,

inside was Huck floating inside,squirming, punching, kicking

trying to break free.

"bhahahah! they usually squirms like that"

the captain laughed.

He levitates the bubble further up

"this gentlemen is how you catch a rat".

the men laughed.

Over to the house the archon took his first step inside

"Seems like Breece blew away half of the room " he laughs "Where are you beautiful, I saw you crept in here".

Istha and the rest were hiding in the bedroom, scared were the children.

"Shh! don't make a sound"Her fingers on her lips. She knows they'll be found eventually.

"Everyone jump out of the window, slowly".

"Don't make a sound".

Arthur and doubleu guarded the door.

"You two get away from there" Istha whispers, wailing her arms to come to her.

"you guys go first, we'll come after you".

the boys still bravely guarded the door, arming themselves, Arthur with a well made staff and a hammer for Doubleu, each standing on both ends of the door.

First one out of the window was a hurt villager, he helped Melca get out of the window first.

But then suddenly the archon smashes the bedroom door opened.

Mary screams loudly.

"There you are pretty".

The archon stepped in.

Right as he puts his foot inside.

Doubleu hammered the archon's knee.

The archon bent down, hands on his knee.

"Ahh! son of a--"

Arthur followed striking him right on the face breaking the staff.

Doubleu then hammered his jaw.

Knocking him down

Istha rushses towards the boys, she grabs them and pushes them out of the window.

She follows after.

The group ran towards the forest.

The captain and his men heard Mary's loud scream

"looks like someone's having fun"."Hahahah".

they looked towards from where the scream came.

Huck noticed the men facing away, looks the same way and noticed the big guy wasn't there anymore.

"Shit! Did he went in!?".

"Why can't I breathe, and I can't hear anything either".

"Am I dying? "

"No!"

"Istha, Children".

Hucks thoughts piled up one after another.

Thinking the worst, tired as he was he made another move, he grows spikes on his hands.

"I'll focus on a single point".

Punched the bubble repeatedly.

The bubble cracks.

He eventually break through.

The captain in a state of disbelief

"The hell!, He broke my vacuum"

Huck immediately dives in the hole he made previously.

"The rat"."Everyone go there".

the captain points towards Huck's house.

From the way huck made the tunnel. The captain is sure that Huck will go towards the house.

Everyone runs towards the house.

Huck was the first to arrive. Bolting out of the ground.

"ISTHA".

"CHILDREN ".

Huck ran towards the bedroom but all he saw a broken window amd immediately follows through it.

"ISTHA, MARYYY".

"PAAAPAA"

Children screams loudly

Huck follows the sound.

He too was followed by the rest.

A couple of distance away Huck saw the archon grabbing Mary by the leg besides them were Istha, Arthur and doubleu laying on the ground, the archon knocks them down earlier when they were trying to save Mary.

Huck wasting no time shoots a head size rock spike that burst through the hammer crab archon chest, killing him instantly.

He runs to his family.

"Are you all okay? ".

He helps up Mary.

"Sweetheart, you all right ".

"Yeah! We were worried about you".

"Papa's fine, but we have to run away".

"Quickly".

The family ran deeper into the woods but they were immediately caught up by the captain and his men.

"Rat, More rats".

the captain taunting Huck and his family ,to him they were his test subjects.

"This keeps getting better"

"You escaped my vacuum".

"I admit, I was surprised "

"But Rat, you ran out of POWER".

The captain aura starts intensifying.

"Limit breaker".

The captain points his finger at the family, his fingers resembling a gun.

"air bullet".

He shot a little bubble that moves really fast.

"AHH!! " the villager fell, dead.

The bubble was fast, the shot landed almost in an instant, the sacry thing was that they were 6 yards away.

"That was suppose to be a warning shot. "Haha! I'm just too good, I can't miss".

"Hihi!!Captain's so cruel".

"These trees won't provide you cover rat"

The captain shoots three shots simultaneously. Hitting nothing two times but the third hit Glove at the thigh, he falls and cries . Huck quickly grabs the child.

"Honey hold Melca"

"There's no time to stop" Huck reluctant, knows what Istha is about to do.

"I know we can't stop running, But I can heal while running".

Istha Hands over Melca to Huck

"Know your limits honey".

Huck looks at Istha.

She puts her palm against Glove's thigh

A light-green light shines from it.

"There all better, sweetheart".

Blood drips from her nose slightly.

"Dear!.Here Melca's lighter".

Huck noticed. Wondering if Istha can keep up.

The desire for survival, love for each other and the adrenaline was the only thing fueling the family.

In this desperate moment.

they do what they can only do.

Run.,only running was the option.

"Use the adrenaline, Just run as fast as you can".

"I'm always besides you".

Huck shouts trying to encourage the kids.

The family ran not looking back they ran out of the woods so fast but only to a cliff, so steep and the fall so far down.

"No! Shit!".

It seems luck wasn't around for the family.

"Everyone come close, stay tight and hold Papa".

Just when Huck tells his family.

He sensed danger, pulling his head back slightly dodging an air bullet.

"As expected, you're a dodgy little rat".

The captain and his men steps out of the woods cornering the Le'hault family.

Istha and the kids ran towards Huck.

No way out surrounded completely, behind was a cliff, jumping meant courting death.

But Huck got a plan, tired as he was he somehow could get the family safely down the cliff, afterall he was a strong Rock Archon.

"Cornered Rats".

The captain flauting his hands.

"We're just a humble family, leave us alone".

"If you want me to beg, I'll beg, just don't hurt my family".

Huck pleaded hoping to find an opportunity to kick-start his plan.

A proud man shattering his pride aside was a sight that made Arthur and Doubleu shed tears of anger but to the captain it was a wholesome sight.

Opportunity didn't present itself for Huck to carry out his plan, Nor can he make one.

The enemy bullets were lightning fast.

Not to mention there could be more Archons among the intruders.

Completely disregarding the plea

"I saw some bright green lights".

"You're not the only Archon are you?".

"And from what it looks like,the boy I shot ran,he seems fine".

The captain leans his head to the left staring at Glove, his face was creepy, a detestable face with an evil sinister overtone.

"It doesn't matter, I decided already ".

"My hands are already dirty, might as well make it filthy".

Huck pleaded again.

"Kill me, if you have to but leave my family alone".

"Noo" Shouts Arthur.

"kill you? This isn't about you, rat".

"As I said before, This is just a test and you're all just test subjects".

The captain continues.

"Your kid, hahah! so eager to fight".

"Little boy, this is what happens when you're weak".

"My timers running".

The captain readying to pull another trigger, Charging it this time, the bubble got bigger.

"Please, Don't ". Huck pleaded again.

"Geheh" Captain laughs.

*Poof*.He shoots, the airbullet towards Mary in the right.

"Noo" Huck covers his right arm with a hard rock.

The limitless bullet was too strong for Huck.

It completely goes through his bicep, dismembering his arm, completly removing his biceps and hitting Mary and Glove.

The force of the bullets removed the kids exposed shoulders completely.

The eyes of the family, filled with pain, disgusts, anger.

Those emotions, like how alchemists concocts his potions. Which explodes.

And Huck indeed explodes, the scream he let out, loud, fierce, like a hurt Magical beasts.

The sound was of anger and regret, inability to fulfill his promise of no harm befalling his kids.

The scream made some of the men, shutter, such was the intensity.

Istha filled with grief, pulls Mary and Glove close to her.

she tries to heal them, pressing her hands on both of thier shoulders.

Again a light-green light, she emits.

The shoulders completely regrows slowly.

But healing someone in order of the severity of the wounds took tolls on her body.

She blurts out blood and collapsed.

Istha pases out, Mary and Glove still out cold.

Arthur and the rest stands around Istha , covering her,Mary and Glove .

Arthur and Doubleu stood brave, stone cold.

The rest were young, scared afraid but yet brave, they stood firm guarding their Mother with running nose and slight droplets of tears filling their eyes.

Proof of a mother's love, although the children not her own but ever since they were together were showered with love, appreciation of her love and care shown by guarding her, shielding her from harm was not a heavy price at all, in fact it was an action of honour and appreciation.

It was how much they love their mother.

A sudden turn of events.

Huck grabs his severed arm turned it into a rock covered spear.

He hurls it straight at the captain.

"Field Null".

The captain had time to react.

the move by the captain make a fast bubble appear, his body as the epicenter the bubble expands covering his aura completely for a moment.

This allows the captain to deflect the attack from Huck which impaled him at the chest and was centimeters away from rupturing his heart, avoiding death. Simultaneously the bubble outer layer knocks some of his men away,the force he exerts on the outer layer was immense.

Huck finally have an opportunity he approaches his kids. Puts his arms elbow deep in the ground and suddenly the patch of land where the family are starts to slide down the cliff. This was his plan, Huck needed to put his arms underneath the ground but he didn't quite find the moment for it earlier.

"Fuuuu-"

Blurts out blood.

the captain jumps down in pursue, enraged.

"Die motherrph--".

Ready to pull another trigger but this time he uses both his hands, this vacuum bubble was the biggest he ever made, the size of Huck's body.

He blurts out blood again.

And then.

He shoots.

The impact was immense, an explosion sending whatever comes in contact with it to nothingness.

The blast nears the family.

Closer closer closer.

Fast was the speed.

Eventually, throwing salt or oblivion in this matter to the wound.

The hateful blast headed towards Huck.

He could Dodge but that meant the complete eradication of his family.

Sensing his unavoidable last moment.

He covers himself and his family with layers of rocks making a little barrier of rocks, inside was pitch black, even though he knew a limitless blast of this calibre would be unstoppable with mere rocks.

But.

Hopefulness.

The only thing Huck could cling to.

Impending doom, Huck knows.

Crying.

He looks down.

The rock barrier penetrates.

Light shines inside.

Time froze for a moment.

He saw,

His kids.

His wife.

Their life.

The moments they spent, he doesn't regret.

"I love you all, I'm sorry".

The last thought of a Dear loving husband, a man of pride, a man to the end.

He took the blast straight on.

For the last time.

Huck smiles, for the time he spent with his families.

Cries for not being able to protect them.

There, his last moment.

The blast completely eradicated his body.

Huck Le'Hault was dead, not even a body remains.

Sad as it was for The Man, The husband.

The blast didn't stop at just one.

It continues going through.

In a breathe.

Mary, Glove, Marc vanished.

Eradicated completely.

Painless, only pro of the blast for the victims.

But death is still death.

The rest of the family ,all eyes closed, didn't even know what happened, Istha still unconscious. The patch of land slides faster, getting hazardous every passing second, the speed wasn't controlled anymore.

"YOU LIKE THAT FUCKKER" the captain screams.

He grabs on an elongated arm of one of his men.

"we will hide for now, the village reinforcements will be here soon".

The family continues crashing down, they hit the ground hard.

After thr crash. Rubbles around the crash site.

"Arthuu--".

Arthur slowly wakes up, the sight he saw

Shouldn't be allowed for a child.

Their loving mother crushed. Father not to be seen.

"Mama, Maa -".

knelt down brought to tears.

Tears and tears, like waterfalls, unending.

"Hush! my boy".

Coughed blood.

Doubleu wakes up besides Istha, sees Arthur crying.

"Art, wh--".

"MAMAAA".

Teared up.

"Hush!"."My lovely boys".

"Oh! how much you've grown".

Reminiscing their pasts,

A little arthur and doubleu fighting.

"Papaa".

"Paaaapaaaaaa". they called for their Dad.

"I'm sorry, Mama may not get to see you married ".

"Nooo mama, we were gonna marry you". The boys continued crying.

"We were going to fight it out with Papa".

Istha laughs weakly.

"Mama, don't die, pleaseee".

"You can heal".

"Yes! Maa you can heal yourself".

Doubleu adds, still sobbing.

"Mama, can't no more, I'm sorry child".

"Listen, Mama needs you to be good boys okay? ".

"okay! ". they replied rubbing their eyes.

"Melca, She's sleeping".

"What-bout Papa and Mary and--glove--mar-"."I--ll c-all Paapa".

Arthur with teary eyes, can't even make a sentence

She already knew, the fate of Huck and the rest.

"Papa's resting".

Changing the topic,

Istha says "Boys beneath that rock"

She points towards a rock to the left ,the size of a young lamb.

"Go lift it up".

They did as their mother told so.

It wasn't heavy for the two, they've been training with their dad.

They saw Raa'kuun.

The boys were horrified.

"RAAAA".

"Mamaaa, Raaa's dea-".

"Raaa is, Raa is"

"Don't worry boys, bring him here".

They put him down on Istha's arm,

She embraces the motionless body.

"Oh my poor boy, Mama's sorry".

The little boy's body still has a slight pulse,

His head displaced horribly, but the little life he has, the child clings to it.

"My children, My love".

She looks at Melca, then Arthur, then Doubleu.

"Mama's going to rest, She's needed in heaven"." Papa and Mary and Glove even Marc, they're up there waiting for Mama".

"Papa and Glove even Ma--- ?".

The boys cried again.

"Shh! Aww don't cry".

"They're looking at us right now".

"Don't cry".

They started sobbing down.

"Mama, she has to go to them".

"But Mama, whyy? ".

The boys replied.

"I bet you all know how papa is, when Mama's not around".

"He gets cranky ".

Says a sobbing Doubleu.

"Right, so mama needs to go to him and all of us will always keep our eyes on the rest of you".

"From up there".

They look up altogether.

"But mama, we'll miss you".

"We will miss you too, but we will always be with you".

The boys sobbs, filled with grief, refusing to believe this reality.

They were grown enough, to know what death means, the sweet words from their dying mother was taken to heart.

"Bring Melca close, hold each others hands"

The boys did so, she puts Raa'Kuun close to her chest, she holds Arthur hand's on the left and Doubleu's on the right.

"Mama, had this ability".

"Me and Papa always planned to use this when we reach our old age"

"It's called Immortality".

"we don't want that"

"We want to come up there too"

"We want to always be with you guys forever".

says the boys.

"Yes! You will, Me papa and your brothers and sister will always be with you".

"But Mama".

The boys sobbed.

"I want you all to live"

"Can you promise me?"

"Promise me that you'll live!".

"Bu-".

Before Arthur could even finish.

"Promise me? Arty"

"Promise, mama".

"I-I promise". Arthur promised crying.

"Promise me Leu"

"Promise".

"Good, I'm so proud of you boys".

"Listen! take care of Melca and Raa"

"I love you all so much".

Istha tears falling.

"We love you too".

Istha smiles. "You guys promised you'll live, don't get reckless, okay".

"And always be the good guys in whatever you do".

"Promise" the boys said together.

She closes her eyes.

"Mama? ".

Green lights shone bright. The forest was lit up by it.

The light engulfs the children.

Raa'kuuns neck got restored.

Wounds were healed.

Istha opens her eyes.

She saw her kids.

She smiles.

"I love you all".

And disappears, with tiny specks of green dusts.
