Flashbacks

"Ch-Cheng Min?!" Bai Xing stuttered. He stumbled backwards and gasped. Cheng Min was unconscious. There was a metal saw in his arm connecting to a jar collecting his blood.

"Hm, draining his power through his blood." The forest god said.

"Well how do we stop this?" Bai Xing trembled.

The memories of the day his brother "died" were surging through him aq. He was playing an over-complicated board game with his brother.

"Ha! Beat you again!" Cheng Min teased. Bai Xing scoffed. Why did he always lose?

"Cheng Min?" They heard their mother call from the other room. "There are some men here who want to talk to you."

"I'll be right there," Cheng Min yelled in return. He scrambled to his feet and scurried to the door. His mother looked like she was about to cry.

"Cheng Min, you're a very special boy," said one of the men. He recognized him as one of the Elders. "That's why you must come with us."

"But I like it here," said Cheng Min. "It's my home."

"Well it looks like you don't have a choice," said one of them. He slashed out a dagger and pointed it at Cheng Min's throat.

"Heh, that'll do it-" he was interrupted by his knife slipping into Cheng Mins thigh.

"Ow!" He screeched. The elders took this as an opportunity to carry Cheng Min away. His mother screamed and chased after them, but the elders threw a rock at her face, making her go unconscious. But where was poor old Bai Xing? He was watching the horrific scene from his bedroom window. The part that really got him was when Cheng Min started screaming, but silenced him by cutting his arm off.

"Bai Xing?"The Forest god asked. He seemed very concerned. He looked around him and saw that he was on the floor.

"Huh?" He asked no one in particular.

"You were out cold!" Said one of the guards. He peered over that guard's shoulder and saw some defining features of the man. He had a very muscular physique and a large gash in his lower right thigh. He was also only wearing underwear,the most defining feature was his metal arm.

"This is Cheng Min!" He exclaimed. Bai Xing ran to the place where he was chained, but what he saw was gruesome. The saw in his side was dripping blood rapidly, but what intrigued him the most was a jar collecting the blood.

"Hm," the Forest God said. He dipped his finger in the liquid. He licked his finger. "This is titan born blood," he said. He poured it out onto the floor and it turned a gold color. After a couple of seconds, the golden color died down and returned to crimson. "The Elders are drinking it."
