4 Chapter 4.

Four Years Later.

...

The feel of the fall wind hitting my face with the bright yellow sun sitting just behind me, bathing me in its sunlight felt like I was in heaven almost, that's just how good it felt. Basking in the sun was a way I kept myself calm or relaxed my mind after a long day of studying or activities... This was on my old world by the way.

Opening my eyes, I let out a refreshed sigh as I gazed at the beautiful green land in front of me. There were a multitude of different colored flowers as well as other plants decorating the green space, giving it a more peaceful fill. The rocks and pebbles that were randomly around really brought the sight home...

The area of which I stood was within the palace grounds, just further out into the 'backyard' part of the home. I was six now, meaning I had some kind of freedom but not too much, I still haven't awakened my 'mana core' and I'm not a teenager yet...

'Fuuu... Alright, one more time...' My eyebrows furrowed as I stood completely still, my right palm facing up. Weapon creation isn't as simple as I thought it was. At first, I thought it just took your imagination, which it does but that's not all, and a bit of will, which I have. Now, I just need to be able to 'project' my ideas.

With that in mind, I relaxed as I felt a feeling well up inside me before it shot throughout my body, starting from what would be my 'dantian' had I been in a cultivation world.

Opening my eyes, i watched as a spike of dark black material shot up from the skin of my palm, making it look like my skin expanded and changed into a deadly weapon. A smile a satisfaction spread across my face as I released it, having it shrink back into my body.

The material it's made out of is really, and I mean REALLY hard. I doubt anything in this world could break it... Unless there's things I don't know about, I didn't catch up with the most recent books after all, so it's not unreasonable to think that something else stronger than my weapon creation material exists...

"Azrael? Are you okay out there?" A child like tone run throughout the area I resided, bringing me back to the world from my thoughts. Turning around, I saw that my little brother had come out to greet me.

And it's just as you had expected... It's none other than a five-year-old Curtis. His fiery red hair and ruby gem-like eyes are just as flamboyant in his younger years as his appearance at the auction that's held within the future.

"Yeah, I'm fine Curtis. What're you doing out here though? Wouldn't mother be upset if she finds out you're here?" I ask, my tone however was flat.

Curtis smiled cheekily before pointing at me, his smile giving me a feeling of misfortune.

"Hehe, I'm here with you! So, I can just say that you dragged me out here. Plus, I'm just a year younger than you, stop acting like you're that much older than me!" Curtis complained, his smile turning into a pout at the latter part of his complaint.

I shook my head with a sigh.

I guess I am acting a little to 'mature' for my age... But I doubt it would cause problems considering I'm of Royalty.

"Fine, fine. I still wouldn't get in trouble, Mother knows I wouldn't do something extra, like bringing you out here." I responded, my teal eyes borrowing into his. Curtis smiled sheepishly before turning around, facing the same direction he came from.

"Ah! You're right! Guess I'll be heading back now!" And with that, he took off in a dash, kicking up a bit of dust as he sprinted towards the door. He was almost there too, but just as he hit the first step to reenter the palace, a wild black-glossy haired pregnant demon appeared, cutting him off.

I chuckled seeing Curtis get dragged into the palace by the ear. I used to have to go through a year ago as well.

Curtis's sacrifice will never be forgotten...

A/N!

Really short chapter and that's because I had a project for geometry and English to do.

I still wanted to get a chapter out though so it's only 712 words, not including authors note.

I will try and write a longer chapter tomorrow but I don't know what my schedule will be.

Sorry.

Cya.

Also!

Choose an appearance for Azrael when he gets older.
