Puck and Rael

[2]

Bonus updated.

~

Eddie looked at Rael with admiration in his heart! His boldness and attitude had instantly captured him, he wanted to be exactly as strong as him. At that moment he had marked Rael as his rival.

With a slight smile, he shook his father from his daze so that they could leave. He was going to train himself before the term would start, to become stronger.

Even Rael was not going to laze around, he had his own goals. One of them was to master his demon bloodline since he still hadn't tested it out, he was more into cultivating.

A glint of fire and passion burnt in his eyes as he looked at the sun.

Quickly he took out his pair of goggles and wore them, covering his beautiful amethyst noble violet eyes.

He wouldn't want the sun to be blinded by his eyes now, would he?

A few days later.

Rael was currently in the woods with Puck. He had already started his training regime. Waking up at dawn, he would go to the woods to train and destroy everything.

His blood art could now be used even without cutting his skin, he had absolute control over it. Even his ice skills had been perfected to the top, with his amount of mana he could do a considerable amount of damage.

While it was a bit hard to use his Ghost Phantasm because of the strain it would put on his mind, he could still use it efficiently.

He was once again fighting with Puck.

Holding the ethereal faith blade in a two-handed grip, Rael made a normal arc through the air with the sword.

In a split second, the ground beneath Rael's feet churned as ripples exploded out and an extremely heavy and overwhelmingly tyrannical aura shot out over the area. All of the animals in the area curled up in terror. It was as though they had been fixed in place, for they didn't dare move an inch.

In that instant, it seemed as if an omnipotent deity had suddenly descended from above, enshrouding the woods in its terrible majesty.

Puck's pupils suddenly contracted, his cold gaze forcibly drawn then locked onto the ethereal blade.

Rael's aura did not create the least bit of pressure for him at all, but the moment he saw the eyes of his master, fear struck him. Although Rael was no longer as strong as his original body, his eyes were the same as when he was a king!

No matter how many reincarnations he would have to go through, no matter if he was poor, rich, talentless. The one thing that would always belong to him was his spirit.

The body is impatient because it has a limit but the soul is patient because it is eternal!

Furthermore, as Puck focused his gaze on the faith sword, his energy was suddenly thrown into turmoil as an unpleasant sensation filled his entire body.

This sensation did not fade as he circulated his spiritual energy, instead of seeming to intensify for some reason. It reached the point where it was so unbearable that it as if something was viciously ripping his organs and soul apart.

This showed the pressure which came from his master despite him being weak.

Excitement erupted in his heart as he looked at Rael, he clearly remembered the first time he met him.

It was a gloomy day, the scent of blood permeated in the air, all that was left in the background were countless corpses.

On a particular corpse mountain, a young fairy lied looking at his parents who he had killed. His hands were stained with red and his wings erupted from his back.

Tears flowed from his eyes as he continued to stare at his parents.

'Am I a monster?

Why?

Why?

I am a monster'

His eyes empty as if he was dead, blood started to glow from his eyes. Puck started to hit his own forehead with his hand again and again.

He slammed his own body in hopes of killing himself. In the end, it was impossible, no matter how much he hit himself, he couldn't bear to kill himself.

"I am a monster...." He muttered as he stared at the gloomy sky filled with clouds. Puck was lying right on top of the corpses of his parents. His arms spread as he kept on staring.

At that moment he closed his eyes and a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"If you are a monster then what am I?"

Startled, the child tilted his head to look at a silver-haired man, his face was well sculptured, his physique was more of a girl's and seemed delicate.

He was wearing loose robes, similar to a kimono but also very different. In his hands was a lyre made out of wood similar to the world tree.

His eyes had a violet color which gave one an uneasy feeling, a feeling of total domination. However, they also had a hint of loneliness and sadness.

The man gently smiled at Puck and sat on the corpse beside him. Puck didn't mind he was already expressionless and cold. What he didn't know was that his subconscious was looking forward to the man in from of him after he heard his remark.

The silver-haired man who was sitting beside Puck suddenly folded his wings back inside. A glass of wine appeared in his hands as he started to drink.

The young child stared at him expressionlessly and then started to look at the sky.

'It is morning time!'

Seeing that the child was staring at him, the man also did the same.

"..."

"..."

"I am not giving you my wine you know that right?" Rael said in a cold tone.

Puck simply stared at him and shouted in anger, "You old uncle! I am underage! I don't even want your stupid wine!"

Rael looked at him feeling wronged, "U-uncle?! I am a perfectly a young man!"

'Only a few thousand years old.....'

Then Puck's attitude changed as tears crept out from his eyes, he started to remember how he would fight with his family. His brothers would bully him and he would call his dad 'Old man'.

However, he had killed his entire family with his own hands due to him going berserk. He was born with a divine constitution, his body being blessed by the heavens.

But to him, it was more like a curse rather than a blessing.

Noticing the petite child's expression, Rael smiled bitterly.

"Do you like music?" Rael asked Puck.

"No." The child replied coldly.

Rael chucked. Such a direct reply. Instantly rejected.

"Do you want to hear me play?"

"No"

Rael was expressionless as he pouted, but with a sad-gentle smile on his face.

Slowly tinkerings of string plucking started to resound in the area. Rael had his hands against his lyre, his eyes closed as he continued to play.

A serene sound filled the environment, embracing the entire area filled with corpses. The sound was low barely audible but it was filled with tranquility.

Puck slowly started to regain his emotions, he tilted his head to look at Rael. His eyes were stuck at his fingers and the gentle smile on his face.

The fingers were like the fishes in a river, they were bound, hoping to one day reach the sun. His fingers flowed exactly like the fishes.

So what if the fishes can't ever see the light of day? All they had to do to solve it was fly.

Suddenly his finger changed the tempo, it was no longer slow filled with sorrow and loneliness. A new tune had filled the environment. The fingers were now a flying fish that could travel the skies in hope of reaching the sun.

The corpses around the boy except for the parent corpses started to disintegrate.

Puck closed his eyes, his mind was one with the music.

A kid was falling into darkness, his hands were outstretched trying to reach out to the sun. He was surprised and had a face of grief totally devastated.

The darkness was pulling the kid downward with its arms around the kid. The kid had given up, his hands slowly losing control.

But before he could be eaten up by the darkness, a hand grabbed his hands, the darkness instantly disappeared, as if it was scared of him. The man had a gentle smile on his face. It was as if he was a gift from the heavens.

Suddenly the young child opened his eyes, the music show had ended.

Rael looked at him and patted his head, "Monsters don't exist, no one in this world is a monster, do you think your parents would want to see you depressed and crying here?"

"They wouldn't..." The child answered.

"Then open up your wings instead of being depressed, fly....fly so high...that you won't even be able to see the pit of darkness...after all heaven is only a step away.... don't give up..."

A new light burned in his eyes as he hugged Rael and cried his heart out. After all, he was still a child.

Rael caressed the young kid and patted his head before standing up with his hands stretched in the kid's direction.

The clouds drifted away revealing a patch of light falling onto Rael's body. It was a sight right out of a painting.

"From today on, you belong to me, I will be your mother, your father, your brother, your sister.... from today onwards I am your family and you mine.....come and serve me for life..."

The kid pushed Rael away and sat on one of his legs, "Forgive me for not recognizing, the Great King of all Fairies, Irakiel, the Most Graceful One."

"Took you long.... from now on your new name is Puck, after all, it's your new beginning..." Rael winked as he turned away showing his back to Puck.

The child simply stayed on his one leg, his head down. His tears had already dried up.

"Puck.... it has a nice ring to it..."

Rael turned to look around at Puck with a smile, "Should we bury your parent's corpses now?"

~

His paintings and statues would be everywhere so he Puck recognized the man in front of him.

Rael was a few hundred thousand years old when he met Puck.
