C346: Calves

Urchin felt insulted their actions and defence were manipulated by the enemy. If it was not for the confined space put over their current stand. Then he can at least open his trance outside such box. It was like they are being monitored. Urchin raised his second hand and repeated the same stance, foot work and attack. Urchin realised that the clones were long gone.

"Guys someone is restarting our time. This is a duplicate of our movements." Urchin announced after confirming by slaying the same opponent who got birthed due to the loops of time.

Sycamore extended his roots deeper to uproot the established territory. He was able to search through the source of the enemy.

Sycamore break his foe's neck as he hissed No wonder his roots can't penetrate the territory. It was because the interruption was not within his grasp.

His gift caters to the memories and not with yesterday's time.

Saga clicked his tongue and used his gift. He tried to compose his thoughts. He lifted his hand and prayed.

"Our God who controls the gift that is seeded to us. Let this power be held in your hand, help me to extend it as a gift. May it be used to break through what is trapping us from this set up. May your glory be magnified. Amen."

Saga altered the gravity when he kneeled down to tapped the ground with his hand. His nail magneted all that enemies that were resetted by the opponent. He shattered the time loop that happened. Ain sliced through the space in a pentagon direction. The whole place started to crumble when it revealed that they were by the attic of the orphanage. They reached their present time but Saga was unable to halt his own gift. Urchin opened his trance to compromise Saga's gift.

Cherith was unable to hold his wings. It got fractured when Saga's magnetic gift slammed him on the attic floor. Ole had her face being one on the same ground. Ain and Sycamore got burried on the wooden floor.

Saga was aware that he is hurting his friends but he can't control his own gift.

Saga tried to take over against his gift but it caused more damaged. Cherith's wings got stripped of from it's feather. Ole had her coal's being sprinkled with the dust. Ain barely sliced the space to support Urchin's trance who is on the verge of cracking. Sycamore had his branches vanishing as it got blendered with the magnetic force from Saga's devouring talent.

Saga felt his own body crying out when he fixed himself to absorb back the magnetic force he released. His pores are being stretched from it's limit. His mental fortitude are about to give out. There was a heavy and black energy that was overtaking his mind. He can feel the heavy noise ringing in his ear drums. That was when he heared a tinted call.

"Saga, Stop.."

"Saga get hold of your self."

"Don't allow it to absorb you!"

"Hang in there, I will use my trance to reach you."

Saga curved his lips thinly. It was a small gesture of appreciation toward Urchin who is trying to halt his havoc. Saga blinked the sweat that passed the side of his lashes when his field got halted.

A single coin appeared in his face. It was pure gold. It was small but it reflected how his current state look.

Saga saw himself with a long hair like of the ancient. His eyes were bloody and his skin were pale and wet. He looked like a different person. He looked like a beast that will not hesitate to eat his own comrade. Saga was surprised to view himself in such a state. His emotion toiled up then it got frozen. The fine particles became a magical view. A transparent bulletproof glass caged him. He was like a display glittered with dust. Selah bowed her head and said.

"Welcome home and get some rest." Saga blacked out.

Her modest and beauty had his lashes zipped in.

Kahieli helped Cherith who had his wings battered. Ole aided Urchin who had his wrist got injured. The magnetic forced had his wrist limping. Agsus studied and replayed Saga's gift as he tried to gather more information.

"I did not know that Saga's gift get this fierce and bold." He commented.

Fur and Ain sighed at his word. They have been watching it for hours but was unable to see anything substantial.

"This is strange, Kennan is not with the higher up. Hanamel's identity was foggy." Ain muttured.

"Hanamel?" Fur asked.

"Saga's mother." Ain replied.

"Hanamel? I heared some tales about it." Agus stated.

"There was a famous artwork named Hanamel as well." Fur stated.

"Do tell me." Ain inquired.

Fur started by leaning on the wall.

"It was a painting of a woman who held an egg under a tree. The artist stated that it was a dream he saw. He painted it exactly how he saw it and it got bailed as the most touching landscape."

"Why touching?" Ain raised.

"Well it's rendering and color combination was timeless. Many duplicate and copies were forged but the original remained protected." Fur expanded.

"Oh, that was technical." Agsus pointed as he twirled his arm chair.

"Look at this." He instructed.

It was a software copy of the Hanamel painting. It exactly showed the view of the bald land they got entrapped. The time looper was connected with the time leaper's hunter. Ain recalled bumping with them in his rebellious phase while serving Cyprus. They were known for crafting yesterday and labeling it as heritage.

"Can you tell me who the painter would be?"

Ain asked as he started to think that it does not make sense if it was drawn by an artist who saw it on a dream. It was too detailed. Agsus worked with his finger and with the sound of the keyboard being chastened, in no time Agsus stated the name of the painter.

"It's Lapidoth."
