Master, wait!!!!

Frankenstein was eager to hear what Shinni's father had to say. He was looking powerless, tired and betrayed. Still he was talking,

"He was younger brother, a beloved youngest child of our family. But he was born different. Different than us. Our god had forsaken him. He didn't have any power of moon clan, he didn't have light inside him."

"So, was he born human?" Tao asked.

"No, not exactly human. He was more than that. Our gods had declared him dark, but our father didn't believe that such an innocent child can have any evil motives or dark powers inside him. It used to kill him to realize that he was powerless among all moon clan members. He wanted to give what was his by blood, his true moon clan powers."

"Is it even possible?" Tao asked again with curiousity.

"Yes. It is possible. There are some rituals, which are very dangerous, but effective if performed carefully. My father and my uncle wanted to perform the ritual. But there was a problem. If they wanted to give him power of moon clan, it had to be through someone else. Like someone whose body can withstand that much of exposure to the god and can act like a conductor of his powers. And there was only one who was suitable for him. Me."

"Why you?" Frankenstein asked.

"We were twins. We shared 99 percentage of our DNA. We were made for each other. And when god had forsaken him, he had graced me with the amount of power no one had ever seen. So, they thought, if even I lose any of my powers through the ritual, I could have easily surpassed any normal moon clan warrior with the remaining power."

Everybody was listening carefully.

"Hence they performed the ritual. We were 10 years old at that time. The ritual was performed successfully and he received the source unlimited power, me. We were bonded through blood."

"So, he was able to gain all the power you possess?" Frankenstein asked.

"Yes, but only with my permission. I never stopped him from using any of my power though."

"So, you never realised his true motives? Never?" Tao asked.

"He was very quiet and obedient kid back then. Or at least he used to act like that."

"Then, what went wrong?" Frankenstein questioned.

"Few years later, he started to act differently. He got very arrogant because of the power he had. Father tried to stop him, but he never listened. He wanted my powers only for his own. But we didn't know it back then. He was hungry for more and more power and his dark genes showed him the way towards it. An eternal life and cursed powers! But he was cursed already, we just didn't realise it. He learned a lot of rituals to gain the power from dark side. And when we got to know it, it was too late."

"What happened?" Frankenstein asked with curiousity.

"He was planning it all along. He wanted finish me and wanted to have all the powers. He had prepared for the ritual, but he had to get direct access to my powers in order to grasp them. So, he asked father to bring me along with him on a trip beyond our territory, for fun, so that he would have enough time to perform a ritual. Father allowed us to go on a trip, but he smelled something wrong and asked my uncle to follow us.  Uncle caught him performing the ritual and me, tied down, and drugged. I do not remember what exactly happened. But from what I heard, uncle broke his ritual, rescued me and banished him. When I came to my senses, I realised that something had changed. The powers he used to access through me, he had gotten direct access, he had gotten the ability to my powers without my permission."

"Can he still access your powers?" Frankenstein asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't have any power left. I gave my power back to the god, in order to protect this kingdom. If I don't have power, he wouldn't use them, I thought. But I didn't knew that he had already gotten direct access to my powers through dark rituals."

"But you're still connected through blood ritual?"

"Yes. If I kill myself, he will die most likely, if he haven't found any other way to surpass it."

"Father, please do not talk about killing yourself. You've already lost all of your powers because of him. Now don't talk about losing your life. It's not even sure that it can kill him. The rules of normal people do not apply to him anymore." Shinni cried.

"No. I'm not doing anything like that, daughter. You don't need to worry."

"But will anything happen to you if he has been killed by any mean?" Frankenstein asked question which was eating his mind.

Everybody looked at Frankenstein and then Shinni's father. He looked unsure.

"I'm not sure, but the rules of rituals were straight, he and I were bonded with blood. If he dies, I die."

"So, we have to assume the worst."

"Yes."

"Then, if we want to kill him, we got to separate you guys from each other."

Frankenstein suggested a safer way to eliminate the possibility of Shinni's father's death.

"Is there any way to separate you two?" He asked with strong voice.

Mr. Shinnei looked at Frankenstein unbelievably.

"We never thought that way, because there isn't any way to break the blood bond."

"We'll find one. I just need your help." Frankenstein said with confidence.

"Is there anybody who has knowledge about the rituals?"

"Yes. My uncle." Mr. Shinnei replied.

"Is he still alive?" Frankenstein asked surprisingly.

"Fortunately yes. But he had also tried every way to break it. But couldn't."

"Maybe we can help him find another way. We need to meet him. Where is he?"

"He lives outside of the castle. Shinni can take you there. I will follow you guys." Mr. Shinnei suggested.

Frankenstein started to leave the room and he realized that his master was heading towards the enemy. If he kills the enemy before separation, Mr. Shinnei will lose his life too. He had to stop him. He immediately tried to find his master telepathically and screamed,

"Master, wait!!!!! Wait before killing the enemy. There are things we have to finish first."

He didn't get any reply. He got worried.
