Chapter 5: Tattoo

Come here I'm about to see what your states are". Elder Marcus says

"Don't you need a black stone tablet for that?" Elijah asks.

"Not when you can do what we do". Then he placed his hand on Elijah's forehead, Elijah felt like he was in the middle of a dream, then suddenly he appeared in the middle of his room when he opened the door, it was nothing but a dark empty space but when he looked out of the window it was daytime outside and he could see his mother's garden.

Then Elijah noticed something coming towards him from the window. It seemed like a middle aged man when he got to Elijah's window the first thing the man said was.

"See this is pretty cool right?!"

Elijah didn't answer but he got into a fighting stance.

"Relax kid, it's me, the Elder".

Elijah looked a little more closely at him and he did favor kinda his grandfather a little.

"Here" he said.

"Will this make you more comfortable? Then the Man turned into the Elder.

"What? How are you in my dream?" Elijah asked?

"Is this my dream?"

" Yes, kinda" the elder said.

It's your subconscious. As an Anubis class we can manipulate the living beings for instance coming here."But enough of that try thinking back to the moment you touched the stone tablet."

As soon as Elijah thought back to it they transported there instantly. While Elijah was focused on the projection the Elder picked out from behind the tablet and Scared him. Then Elijah realized he can move around In the environment.

"It's like we stopped time,'' Elijah said out loud.

"Yea" said the elder.

"But we can only see what you remember though". The Elder was looking at Elijah's current states.

"Whoa you have some crazy willpower."

" It should take you like 10 seconds to transform. That is really impressive for someone your age."

" Well I can't actually transform, not into a beastman anyways." Elijah said

"Really?"replied the elder.

" Then what happens when you hit with Sunlight at the right times during the day?"

" That is why I have this tattoo." Elijah points to his back. Elijah shows the elder his back.

Elder Marcus makes a concorning face.

"But it doesn't hurt though," Elijah says, trying to reassure him."

The Elder comes towards Elijah and puts his hand on his shoulder.

"You got that tattoo when you became of age? When were you able to transform?"

Elijah nods.

"Son, you have been through more pain than men 2x your age. I also feel sorry for the person who had to put that on your back. You have my respect."

"I know that this is going to be a hard memory for you but could you take me to the moment of your first transformation."

"Why would you want to see that? Elijah asked.

"I just want to confirm something."

"Normally I don't really think about that moment because it deals with so much pain". Instead of actually thinking about the transformation though Elijah thinks back to when He was getting that tattoo.

Before Elijah could change the setting the elder said.

"Wait?! Let it play through".

This is the Scene where Elijah's father is putting the tattoo seal, on Elijah's his back normally the seal is done with ink which is already painful to most. but for this seal Elijah's beastmen's healing factor was too fast so Elijah's father had to use molten iron in the pin.

Elijah's mother is holding him down crying and Elijah screaming out in so much pain the whole town hears.

Then the Elder notices something whenever Elijah's father is done and Elijah passes out .

"Wait, did you see that? Said the elder. "Go back a little."

Then Elijah thinks back and sees the scene of eyes glowing bright purple.

"Whoa?".

"So what does that mean?" Elijah asks.

The elder looks at him with a serious face.

"Kid is your beast form a golden lion?"

"I think so, isn't everyone's ?"

"Ughh no" The Elder said?

"Gold-ish but not like Glowing gold".

"That is the beast form of our royal ancestors who ruled the continent."

"Ok you really have to show me it now".

So Elijah thinks back to when he transformed and it shows him going To his beastmen form in 3 seconds then into his complete beast form. The Elder turns then back looks at me. He's in shock.

"Kid, that's exactly why your parents gave you that tattoo seal if anyone from the top 3 noble families were to see that they would kill you instantly".

"I thought it was because I had 2 different classes?

The elder slaps his forehead. "I forgot about that, he said. Your potential is the most terrifying I've ever seen".

"When you go to Crescent Moon academy Keep yourself under control". "You may have that tattoo but with how much power you have inside of your body you can definitely break it if you don't keep yourself in check".

"Anyways lets wake up let's talk in real time?" said the Elder.

"How do I do that?" Elijah said somewhat panicking

"Just imagine yourself awake ,duh?" The Elder Replied.

Then Elijah makes a face.

Then Elijah finally appears back on the floor with the elders wife, the Spirit-soul leaning over him.

She says. "So how was it?"

"How long was I out?" Elijah asks.

"Ohh about 10 to 15 mins I would say".

As Elijah looks around he sees the elder in his chair still sleeping with his mouth open looking dead.

Then the Elder pops up instantly saying. "I'm just kidding".

"Right". Elijah says.

"Your wife says we slept about 15 mins or so but it seems like we were there for like 3 hrs?"

" Yea we were, your mind moves a lot faster than you think."

"So your other class is (Pride) right?'' said the Elder.

"Huh", Elijah replied. "no it's Shadow Walker?

"What really?" Elder says back.

"All the ancestors with your beast form were all Warlords."

Elijah makes a face. "Of course they were." Elijah thinks to himself.

"Now that I think about it you would be pretty skinny for a Warlord".

"Gee, thanks Elder." Elijah replied.

"That might not be a bad thing.What is your subclass in Shadowwalker?" "Void," Elijah replies.

"You were there when I showed you".

"Oh yea he says".

"You're just a timebomb of spiritual energy huh". "Anyways". The elders said.

"I want to take you to the family graveyard".

"Why is that?" Elijah asks.

"Because you can now see your ancestors well, some of them anyways." The elder says getting up from his chair
