The Broken Prince
Chapter 47
"Step back Nate." I closed my eyes as I spoke those words. A warm and electrifying sensation was building up in the pits of my body. Within a second, I could feel everything. The movement of every animals and living creatures. The flow of the wind and the living nature. My body senses the stream of energy within the whole dimension.
I tried to focus even more and suppress the energy for a bit longer. Once I sensed that it was enough, I opened my eyes and swung my hands to the side making my body resemble a cross. Every sensation I felt surged all the way throughout my body as the only thing I could see was pure bright light. A thick white sphere was around me. I released the energy on my palms and the sphere exploded. Shockwaves formed and then spread throughout the distance which I know, won''t reach the academy as I can control them..
I looked at Nate and noticed that his shields were cracked. By the time the last shockwave hit his spherical shield, it shattered and shards of it fell on the ground. It was a good thing that there were no shock waves after that or Nate would''ve had broken limbs.
"Well, what do you think? Is it amazing?" With a grin, I asked Nate whose mouth hanged ajar. He pointed at me with shaking hand shaking. My brows furrowed as I stared at him in question.
"Nate? Why are you shaking?" I asked.
"Y-You- Alexander- I- Y-You''re floating" He stuttered. I looked at him as if asking as to what seems to be the problem with floating.
"I don''t see the problem. Is it not normal?-"
"For god Childe''s sake, no!" I slowly started to descend from where I was in the air. I headed towards him with a questioning look. He, who looked very much so stoked about what just happened, closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening his eyes back and looked at me straight in the eyes.
"We should sit here Alexander. That took me by storm and I''m still not over it." We looked for a spot to sit on as he spoke. The sun was fairly arose in the sky but the heat coming from it did not feel like it was too much warmth that you could get sun-burned.
"It is amazing Alexander. And there are a few reasons as to why. When the Great Fall occurred, the gods was said to be defeated by the man from the void. Everything was so chaotic back then as this land was filled with tears of sorrow, cry of pain and it was simply the land that bled. Those who arose as our ancestors who fought the man from the void were the messengers of such gods spoken of. At this point, it is safe to assume that there are five gods as now existed the five kingdoms. Those of fire, water, air, earth and sea." Nate spoke with a serious tone.
"Nate, I appreciate you telling me such information but I do not see the connection."
"That is why you should let me finish Alex." Nate talked back with a faint eyeroll paired with a sigh. I nodded and stayed quiet as I motioned for him to continue.
"At the nearing end period of the Great Fall, our ancestors, in order to fight the man from the void. They needed to have help and assistance to be able to defeat those of whom the gods couldn''t. Thus they prayed blindly without any assurance that a form of help would come as all the gods has already fallen long way before they were even born. With their little powers, they offered all of their strength to the land trying to summon something they don''t even know about."
"They continued to do so until they almost died of hunger and thirst. When they thought that they were going to die, a young man emerged from nowhere. Tale told that a bright light appeared before them then came after a young man whose hair and eyes were white. His presence alone quenched their thirst and food appeared in front of them. Our ancestors needless to say, rolled on the ground out of pure happiness."
"The young man spoke nothing and waited for them to finish eating with a warm smile plastered on his face. One they were finished, the young man sat with them then their tale telling began. Throughout, the man was smiling at them warmly."
"They then went to ask that if he was there all along, why didn''t he showed up sooner and helped the land? The man answered that he was a mere human too who got his powers upon the blessings of the god and that the man from the void would make all hell break loose once he knew that he was lurking around, ready to diminish his reign. The man then spoke to them even further. Asked about what they want. They said that they dreamed of a future with no chaos. A future where peace and order are the true rulers."
"The man smiled and nodded. He opened his hands as he stood. He floated into the air and a bunch of falling stars fell from the sky."
"Open thy hearts and innocent intent be present as these powers I give to you shall be for you and for the future generation. Use thy power to defeat the evil who made the land bled. Use thy power to summon peace and order. Use thy power to govern thy people you will each rule. These powers vested upon you shall be used only for the good. They come for a price which won''t show if you fulfill it''s purpose. Once it''s purpose is lost and if you use it for revenge and evil. Use it to turn to each other with knives on each other''s neck. Then the price you will pay for shedding such dirt unto my blessing will be the peace you once longed for. When that happens, I the man who gave you such blessing, will no longer be summoned and I shall watch as the world upon me crumble."
"That is what the young man spoke before a bright light erupted again. "My point is, your power resembles so much of what that young man has. It''s scary. Not even the greatest king and our ancestor were able to float. Alexander, what I''m trying to say is that, your power, is something that existed long ago." The hairs on my body started to rise as I felt a chilling static feeling running down my spine.
"Not even the others can do this?!" I whisper shouted.
Nate shook his head before he went on to speak.
"The others can do amazing thing as well. From what I''ve heard, Kaval can turn a plain ground into lava and can stay under it without burning. Dianne can turn any edible food to being poisonous but she can eat those, Apollo can make air or any form of oxygen vanish in a certain area for a certain time and Hade can make fire rain and it is also rumored that he can turn himself to fire and command the land to rise and form a volcano but all of those compared to yours, those are nothing, Alexander."
"You haven''t even used your power to the fullest extent yet and you can already do that. What in the gods do you have. I have thought about this being the work of that abyss mage but such magnificent scale of power, those mages are not capable of such. No one is but the gods alone."
We then sat in silence as we contemplated or more like, I contemplated to what Nate just told me. My head was starting to hurt that it was starting to pulse and my eyes were close to popping out. I closed my eyes but then a question popped on my head. I immediately turned to Nate to which he got startled at.
"Does that mean that I am abnormal!?" I got to my feet as the realization hit me.
"What no! Of course not. You are more of like a gem mixed in a box of rock which means you are one of a kind! And that is something to be proud of!" Nate said as he also stood up and grabbed my hands us he cupped them in his.
"Alexander, what you have now. Once the whole land will know, all will bow and acknowledge you as the strongest there is. The abyss mage will quiver as the serpent in the sea will bow down at you. What more if you can make the stars fall at night?" Nate spoke with his eyes glistening.
I sighed and looked at him with a smile. Nate never fails to cheer me up or make any situation lighter. That is why no one can replace him. My mind was swirling with many questions as to why the sudden power capability. I have dreamed to have them and has have gone through extreme ends. Now that I have it, it''s practically something close to a god. Maybe that is why it wasn''t able to show early on. Because it was something else.
