The Path of Orbis

Thick drops of rain accompanied by furious rays fall madly from the sky, and from the coast, gigantic waves could be seen with strange monsters swimming through them to try to go as quickly as possible to the bottom of the sea, this was a kind of chaotic scene to see .

However, this seemed like a very relaxing scene for a young man with black hair who's eyes closed and sitting cross-legged on the sand of the sea coast, and if a person saw this scene he would think he was a totally unique existence, an existence that merged with the surrounding environment.

After several hours, the rain and the ocean seemed to be calming down and with that, the restless monsters calmed down and swam as if nothing had happened for hours moments ago.

At that moment, the young man who was sitting on the shore, opened his eyes slowly and looked at the ocean that was calm, and with a smile and excitement that was present in his eyes, he got up and ran off the coast screaming excitedly.

"I made it! I can go with Dad and Mom to the Aswordia Kingdom!"

The boy's excited screams echoed across the entire sea shore. And hearing the boy's cries, a middle-aged boy with all black hair with blood-colored eyes and wrapped in an aura of mystery, left a wooden hut with calm steps and a cold look, and looked in the direction from the screams that came from the shore of the sea.

"You two will go with Mr. Gates to Aswordia, we cannot delay any longer, the barrier will not last"

A calm voice came from behind the man, and there was an incredibly beautiful woman with deep purple hair, with her icy blue eyes looking at the man standing at the entrance to the cabin.

"Erza, but ..." The look of the man who was cold moments ago, oddly enough, was sad now.

"We have talked about this several times, Airon, we cannot leave him here without the barrier and the box needs to be opened by me" The woman's voice instantly became severe, it seemed that she was already angry at the man's stubbornness.

"Okay ..." Reluctantly, the man could only agree.

Upon hearing what he said, the woman with a stern face approached the man with a sad look and hugged him.

"Don't let them get close to him, okay?" A sad whisper reached the man's ear.

"Okay ..." Airon replied in a low voice.

Over the man's shoulder, the look of Erza that has returned to normal, was on a 14-year-old boy who was happily approaching the wooden hut.

"Mom! Dad! I already got what you asked for before the deadline you gave me, now can we go to Aswordia?"

"Yes, Kai, now go wash up and come to mommy, I want to give you something" Said Erza with a smile on his face.

"OK!" Said Kai, and then ran to the cabin's bathtub.

Erza's gaze followed the boy running to the bathroom, and her smile seemed both happy and sad.

"I'm going to open the box, Mr. Gates is just minutes from here with the airship, now keep an eye around the island to see if they'll be around while I'm with Kai" said the woman calmly.

"Okay, give him a good hug, I'll be up there looking, when it's over, just call me" Saying that, the man looked up and disappeared.

Looking up, the woman sighed when she entered the cabin and went straight to Kai's room.

...

Entering the boy's room, Erza bent down and pulled a piece of wood off the floor, and when she did, a small box of obsidian was present there.

Erza took the box out of the compartment and sat on the bed to wait for Kai, until he arrived, she was looking with a complicated look at the box in her hands.

It didn't take long for a young man with icy blue eyes to arrive in the room with wet black hair spread over his face.

"Hey, mom, what do you want to give me? Is it that box? What's inside?" Kai looked at his mother with an excited face.

"Come here and sit next to mom, I'll give you something amazing" said Erza looking at his son.

Listening to his mother, Kai sat on the bed and looked excitedly at his mother.

Seeing his son sit down, Erza looked at the box and began to open it slowly, and it was impossible to open it even an inch before she felt something marking her presence.

"As I thought ... They really put a mark on the box ..." thought Erza without changing his facial expression.

And opening the rest of the box, a shiny translucent crystal was present on it along with a small black-covered book with a strange symbol on the cover.

"Take it, use the breathing technique I taught you by holding the crystal in your hand" Erza took the crystal and gave it to her son, and the book she just left on the bed.

"Ok" Saying that, Kai looked at the crystal in his hand and closed his eyes and soon started using the breathing technique that his mother taught him.

Some minutes later...

Kai started to feel a strange energy passing through his arm and going straight to his head, heart, lungs, stomach, all his organs and body parts circulated this strange energy. The crystal was fully absorbed.

Soon Kai opened his eyes with a strange expression on his face and said looking at his mother:

"Body Creation Technique?"

Erza looked at his son in surprise, and thought something but soon left it, it didn't matter anymore.

"Did you like what I gave you?" Erza asked the son with a smile.

"Err ... Although it is painful to practice this, I want to get stronger and explore the world! I really enjoyed it!" Said Kai with a sad look and a cheerful smile. He looked conflicted inside.

Erza gave her son an evil look with a beautiful smile and said "You are going to practice this technique, you promise me, okay?" And hugged him tightly.

"Okay, mom ..." Kai was a little sad, his mother forced him to practice a breathing technique from when he was 3 years old, although the technique itself did not hurt him, the place he he practiced yes, he practiced during storms, tsunamis, furious winds and under the pressure of the seabed, of course his father, Airon, helped him to relieve most of the pressure that these natural disasters exerted on him, otherwise he was already long dead.

While embracing his mother, Kai did not realize that a tear was streaming from his mother's face and falling on her shoulder ...

"Okay, that's enough, I'll call your father and we'll go" Said Erza when probing the island and realizing that the Airship had arrived on the island.

"I'm already here, no need"

Airon said he was already standing at the entrance to the room.

"I can?" Airon looked at Erza and asked.

"Yes ..." Erza said with a sad look at his son.

Kai, not understanding what was going on, asked "Can what--"

He couldn't even finish the sentence before his eyes closed and passed out.

Airon took the son who had passed out and placed him on his shoulders. He passed the entrance to the room and looked back with a sad face.

Erza was there looking with a complicated look at her husband Airon and son Kai.

"I love you"

"I love you"

The two spoke to each other, and Erza ran to her husband and gave him a long kiss that lasted for minutes, and she only stopped because she felt Mr. Gates got off the airship and was walking towards the wooden cabin.

"Okay, go, take care of Kai" said Erza

Airon nodded with a sad face and disappeared from the cabin.

And Erza, who was in front of the entrance to the room, ran towards the entrance to the cabin, when she got there, she looked towards a small mountain with melancholy eyes.

"Live well, Kai, and take good care of your father..."
