Lloyd

Levi woke up again and this time he was close to the campfire. In the distance he noticed the enigmatic stranger staring at him keeping close guard. Remaining down Levi decided to take in the features of this enigmatic stranger.

He didn't look any older than Levi, just about the mid-twenties with a porcelain complexion which made his body give of a luster of some sort. He also had an athletic build with long white hair that brushed his waist which also gave off a luster. He always carried that mysterious aura around him. 

Remembering the incidents from earlier, Levi hoped that this time he will have some conversation with the stranger and all would go well. But as he stood up something which made him go mad happened, just as he was on his knees for support when standing up a thick ice wall or to be more specific, walls surrounded him. He was now trapped in the ice prison, this made his blood to boil. He had just made a fool of himself, there he was thinking about acting rationally with the stranger and here he was being bullied for trying to act human for once. What made him angrier the bully now carried a smug smile on his seemingly mocking him. No, he was going to teach the prick an invaluable lesson. He was going to step out of this ice prison and smack the bully in the face.

He threw a punch to the wall and to his suprise, he felt nothing. Then another one and another and another but the prison remained the same, not even a crack only that his knuckles were becoming bruised. He seized for a second to catch his breath and he could see that his knuckles were healing at a visible speed. He had just got a silly smile in marvel of his new abilities when he noticed that the stranger now was pondering before looking at him the smug growing wider. This fueled the anger in Levi and he now started throwing punches to the wall like a mad man.

Unbeknowst to him, with each punch the power contained in his fists was increasing and purple scales were forming in a weblike pattern along his arms. Cracks appeared on the ice prison but Levi was too lost in the mad turmult to even notice. He felt a bloodthirsty urge to step out of the prison and tear the bully to pieces. His eyes also turned purple and he pulled back his right arm, sparks of purple lightning flew from the arm inreasing its acceleration and with one final fatal blow the prison broke into tiny shards that flew in all directions.

Levi was now out with his eyes fixed on the bully, he was ready to squeeze that smug mouth in. Who was having the last laugh now,huh? He now looked like a savage beast ready to devour anything to cross its path. One would expect the victim to be threatened to death by only the savage look on Levi's face but the stranger still looked on unvexed by Levi's antiques. Levi made a run for his prey the scales now covering almost his entire body with sparks of lightning flying off in every direction. He closed the distance between him and the bully in a blink of an eye before throwing a punch to the bully's face. The victim ducked a bit causing the punch to hit the tree he was leaning on. The tree snapped in half and fell but the stranger took one look at it and shook his head seemingly unimpressed.

This made blood to boil in anger, he now threw a barrage of punches only one enough to take the life out of a human but the victim without any effort skillfully dodged all of them. All these happened at a super speed. He then stopped and in one sudden movement he led out a punch aimed at Lloyd's chest, once it connected Lloyd flew several meters away before hitting himself on a tree trunk. This caused the tall conifer to tumult down.

He clutched his chest while on his knees as he could feel it hurting but also healing at an incredible speed. The scales on his body had disappeared and the bloodthirsty lust had also subsided, only one punch was it all it took to calm down the beast inside him. Truly there was a lot he needed to learn about the stranger. Levi had never felt pressure from someone his age group but now it had become a reality.

He now had two options at his disposal, either to run away or to fight back. But before he could execute the former, there he was, his aggressor holding out his hand to him with the largest smile in the world.

He dismissed the helping hand an pushed himself of the ground. Now on eye level with his assailant he proceeded.....

"What exactly are you?" Levi uttered out the first words that came to his mind.

"A higher being?" The stranger replied.

The question opened up a lot of questions in Levi's mind but he decided to store them for later.

"Who are you?" Levi asked the next thing he could think of.

Just as he had asked a vessel with the inscription 'Lloyd Gray VI' flew above their heads.

"Am Lloyd." The stranger happily replied.
