C255: Anti-drift

Kennan did the food and asked the shop to be close than earlier. He needs to check how the kids are doing except for Selah who ony learn to stand and walk. Ain can't put him to sleep and Fur volunteered to tend on her as he volunteered to do the grocery for their evening dish that was listed by Kennan for nourishment.

Fur put on a cute pair of pink dress and shoes for Selah. Fur recalled how Hexel would tie her with a scarf in his chest but his back would give out. Fur can't help but blame himself for feeding Selah to much. He decided to put her on a stroller and went out to the nearest grocery.

Kennan explained to Kahieli, Sycamore and Nimrod that they needed to fight him all out and one by one.

"Urchin will do it first and you guys will follow." Kennan instructed.

Urchin steady his stance and strated with a prayer.

"Our Father whose timming is decided through his power, will and commitment. May your gift reawaken as we are being taught by now. Thank you for cultivating us. Amen."

Urchin summoned the clock's hand made of fiber. His focus were utmost and his speed got doubled. Kennan blocked his first kick. Urchin's second attempt came from above with his weapon lifted to thrust Kennan's back. But Kennan yanked his weapon and used the force to magnify Urchin as he grapple his face with his hand and planned to dunk him on the ground when Urchin grinned.

His palm are on top of Kennan's left chest and froze his heart beat with time.

He opened a trance to allow Kennan to view his plan.

Kennan was surprised and released Urchin who instantly appear in his face as he point his weapon unto Kennan's chest. Kennan raised his hand both in surrender and awe.

Ain blew the horn and proudly congratulate Urchin. His gift is unique and accessible. It was thanks to Fur who researched about trance and time honoured gift that he is able to summon the clock's second hand. It was a rough training that Ain even made a space for Urchin to train.

Kennan was in complete awe. He was observing if Urchin took after his parent's fighting style but Urchin is really full of grace and originality which made Kennan step back.

Kahieli take his stance as Nimrod kept tugging on the hem of his shirt. Kahieli smiled creepily with his shark teeth. Nimrod nod his head and watch his eldest brother approach Kennan. Kennan can't read nor observe his movements. His statues were like of Cyprus but it's more of Cyrus. Kennan would take note of any blood related gift but he was wrong.

"Our Heavenly Father that creates everything. Your wonders and sign never fail us. Your love equip us. May it be that this gift will be utilize in fruition to your glory. Amen."

Kahieli released a transparent bulletproof glass. Kennan was waiting for an attack but his naked eyes cannot see the shred like nails that suddenly hung himself on the wall. Kennan smirked and figured out how his gift work. He nullifed and unglued himself from where he got pinned but Kahieli had Cyrus' agility. He slid to make Kennan lay down on the floor as his little hand pinch his nose. When Kennan did not raised his hand in surrender The five year old boy twisted his nose like a gum. Kennan slapped the floor indicating his surrender as Urchin and Ain tried to pull him off from Kennan.

Sycamore moved in sync with his body as he recite his prayers.

"Our Almighty God that secures us and shielded us. May your glory shine in me. Amen."

His hand was steady and unmovable as he dodge Kennan's punch. Sycamore used his lips to implant a seed inside Kennan's nerve. Kennan suddenly felt like his body were not obeying his mind.

He look up to see Sycamore and witnessed a long racemes of showy yellowish-green flowers bloom in his arms. Kennan's head suddenly got crowned in defeat.

Nimrod shyly step inside the ring. Kennan can feel a small thing got extracted from his skin only to se Sycamore retrieved it. Kennan was wondering what would that be. When Nimrod strated to stutter in front of Kennan. Ain blew the horn for more time. Ain and the kids approach the youngest boy. It was like a coach meeting before the final game.

"Nimrod what's wrong?" Ain asked.

"Nothing, I was just wondering why do we have to hurt him?" Nimrod spoke softly as he eyed Kennan.

"He asked for it!" Kahieli said.

Ain sweat dropped and is unable to explain the situation.

Urchin step forward and said.

"Because he wanted to see how to help us get stronger. He is our parent's friend so trust him..."

Ain felt like the heaven suddenly got uncurtained in his face as Urchin encourage his youngest uncle.

Nimrod nod and stood in front of Kennan.

"Uncle I don't want to hurt you but since it is for your good will then take this!"

Nimrod silently prayed before unleashing his gift.

"Father who art im heaven. Whose name is holy and a sanctuary. Protect us from ourselves. Amen."

Nimrod produced a copper coin and danced with it as Kennan waltz with him. His attack were aggressive that forced Kennan to summon his lapis lazuli. Nimrod suddenly chuckled. His combative itchiness striked in to have a obtrusive energy and self assertiveness. Kennan can sense the growing excitement from Nimrod and firmly decided that he should step up and not hold back. His fighting style had it's own unique shot. He is like a gypsy dancer that beholds loveliness at the same time a wise warrior that manipulates his enemy. Kennan got caught in his trap of manipulation as his copper coin moved like his main props. It landed on Kennan's forhead and had him magnified on the ground. Nimrod giggled and his copper coin left a skin tattoo in Kennan's forehead.
