His Essences Stolen
"Huff... how long have i been running again" Cain said as he rested his back on a wall while trying to catch his breath...
After Cain ran away from there, he felt a killing intent so intense that it could closely rival his mum's.
Knowing nothing good would come out if he slowed down and was caught.
He kept on running wishing he had more legs...
Well, finally his home. he can`t wait to finally see his mum`s Daemons...
Based on mums' aura, mum should be stronger than them, right .... Cain smiled wryly while scratching his head.
As he opened the door, Cain saw the chair his mum usually sits on whenever he returns from school empty.
"Mum ???" yelled Cain...
Hearing no response, he yelled a few times.
With a puzzled expression, Cain dropped his school bag on the chair and searched the entire house.
But he couldn't see any sign of his mother...
First came shock, worry, confusion, then an excited expression...
"Yessssss..... I finally have the whole house all to myself" screamed Cain with so much excitement that his saving grace was that the house was sound proof...
With joyful tears in his eyes, he rushed to the parlor to sit to watch T.V ..
He saw a letter and a warped box on the center table...
"Hmmmm.... what might u be... an email from who" ...
And it's not yet Christmas or thanksgiving.... he thought.
"Ohh, it's from Mom" said Cain with a pale expression.
After that statement, he wished he had never seen the letter and feigned ignorance that he had not seen it...
Well, since I had already seen the letter, why not read it...
As he took the letter and started reading it...
"So, Mum left to find Dad "... said Cain with a serious expression as he continued
"Dad needs help with something" ...
And she did not specify what he needed... just like mum...
"But how I get to know her and Dad's Daemon." Cain thought aloud as he continue reading.
"But how did she know? I want to know what her and Dad Daemons are"
"Oohh... she said here.... am too weak to know" said Cain embarrassingly, he began looking for a hole to hide in...
Just like Mum again...always so direct with her words.
Getting to the end of the letter. Cain read the last statement he finally concluded that this letter was from his mum...
"Yep... I knew she would also left a death threat."
I thought you loved me ... thought Cain with tears flowing from his eyes ...
She indeed left a deadline for her son stating he should be at the possession stage before she came back...
What's that?... possession what?... Mrs Tina should explain better ...
"She left her Daemon essences too... and Dad`s own too for me to choose from" he read from the letter...
With curiosity I turned to the warped box in front of me and opened it...
Is that a blood fang ...and a ghost lantern?
This blood fang is as long as 30 centimeters and the ghost lantern looks a bit creepy...
Is that a skull inside the lantern .... thought Cain with a slightly frightened expression as goosebumps roamed his entire body ...
I take back my word .... Dads' essences are way creepy
Cain would rather choose a canine Daemon than choose something that doesn't fit his handsomeness...
Especially a freaking ghost Daemon.
That's how thick-skinned Cain is ....
A Daemon essence is extracted from the body of an Ewer.
Such activity does not cause any problem with the said Ewer as it can easily be recovered after a day of rest.
But the more essences drawn from the body can cause regression of one's realm or, the worst case is the inability to cultivate further.
Both for both parents of Cain to give such an amount of essence shows deep affection for their son...
"Come to think of it...." as he suddenly remembered the cube-like object, he was given ...
Cain retrieved the cube from his backpack and held it to examine it closely.
"Well, this looks a lot like a Rubik's cube without its colors, just jet black" ...
Why would they kill themselves for such a thing?
Cain touch every part of the cube trying to see it does.
And it didn't even come with an instruction manual so the confuse Cain was left helpless.
But he had to keep it safe since he got it from a dying beautiful lady. It would be a waste to just throw it away ...
"But first I need a rest, all that running has left me wasted "... said Cain as he gently placed the cube close to the two essences...
As he dropped it, he felt a reaction coming from the cube...
'Huh, it vibrated' he thought in surprise.
But before he could process why the cube reacted
He felt a force drawing the two essences towards it ....
Crap...
Holy crap...
He tried to pull the cube away from the two essences.
With the little strength he has, how can he stop the essence from sinking straight inside the cube...
"no no no no no... what have i done" ... screamed Cain as he watched his parents' essences sink into it ...
"How am i going to awaken my Daemon now, "he said with confusion on his face as he stared at the cube ...
Cain's face was flipping through different emotions.
Surprised, shocked, scared, sad and rage...
"What shitty luck is this?"
"From surviving a dreadful encounter, to having my precious essences stolen right before my very eyes" stated Cain, with anger flowing out his face...
"You had better be worth more than those essences or else, I will throw you into the dustbin."
A moment later
The cube floated into midair as it started solving itself just like a Rubik's cube...
"Now what ??" ...Cain asked still angry over the loss of his essences...
[ 1st condition: completed…]
[2nd conditions: completed…] stated a voice in his head...
"When… huh… who's there?"
"Show yourself right now!!!... I am in a terrible mood and i hope beating you up will solve that", Cain said clearly in an upset tone,
As he went in combat mode, raising his fist to fight
