Chapter 5: KNOWING THE HISTORY.

Knowing now that the guide as the mysterious man turned out to be was there to help him out than to destroy him, Excelon was able to calm himself down and take in all that has happened so far. So I now have my own personal teacher? Just when I thought everything was going bad, this happens, fate! Is this you giving me a second chance? Excelon thought as he had a big smile on his face.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves and jump the gun kid, besides don't you want to know the history?

History? Excelon replied confused.

Yes, the history of how all of this started. The guide said as he started walking in the direction of the grand castle that was located behind the large training ground.

The history huh, I hope is interesting.

Excelon quickly followed behind as they exited the training ground and headed for the castle. The castle up ahead is what is known as the Kreegar layer as we came to call it over the past thousands of years.

Wait! It's that old? No wonder the designs and all doesn't look anything like the modern ones excelon thought to himself.

See, I was but a scrawny kid who was weak and had no parents just like you. Excelon was surprised as he heard this. Due to my unique power? I was sort after by people who wanted to have my power for their own gain when my ability got known to the world. Because of me, many innocent people died as the government, military and some big private organizations were trying everything to get to me. People who knew me and people that had nothing to do with me lost their lives as they tried to protect me. Including my parents.

Left to my own devices with no one to call family, I began to wonder and struggle as I fend for myself.

I was doing my best until one day luckily or unluckily, I got lost in a forest and ended up being attacked by five strong men who belong to one of the strongest private groups at the time. With nowhere to run, I decided to fight against them but they were just too strong for me to handle. I ended up losing without putting up much of a fight.

One of the attackers was about to knock me out with another attack but then, "Stop!" a voice shouted out from a distance. Turning around, that's when we all saw him. A man cloaked in black heading towards the group like he had no care in the world. And who do you think you are to order us around? One of the attackers shouted as he was annoyed. Yeah! Do you know who we are? Another retorted.

Who cares? Not that I care anyways. All I know is that the kid over there has a life to live but you guys don't seem to allow him to live it. The cloaked man replied as he continued to walk forward.

Ha! Like you have the right to decide that, the assumed leader of the group said as it appeared he was doing the most talking out of them all. Get him! Before any of the men could move, they felt a gust of wind past them and the man who was originally holding the kid felt something was off.

Looking around, that's when they noticed the kid wasn't there again but was with the cloaked man off to the side. He's fast, I didn't even get to see him move, the attackers realized and started to panic. Don't just stand there get him, the leader of the group shouted and they all snapped out of their daze and went to attack. With every attack, the cloaked figure was able to avoid every single one of them neatly. Seeing this the attackers started to panic again. How is this even possible? We are some of the best the Trident group has to offer.

Then your group is just that weak. The cloaked man replied. The truth was the attackers were indeed strong and completed most of their missions without fail. The cloaked man was just on another level compared to them.

Seeing they won't be able to take on the cloaked man, one of the attackers decided to attack the kid instead. Before his fist could have an impact, the man suddenly shot up into the air as if a force was pulling him in. similarly, the same happened to the rest of attackers as they got pulled by the invincible force. I was planning on letting you guys live but since you decide to attack the kid again, I can't.

 Reaching about twenty feet high, they stayed air born for a while until they felt the same force pulling them back down, this time much faster. With no time for them to react fast, they slammed into the ground and the ground shook for a while. The process continued until they were no longer moving, indicating they were dead.

They really dead just like that, I couldn't believe that someone this strong came to save me. I initially went to my knees and thanked him as he approached me.

Get up Raph, he said as he somehow knew my name but I didn't ask how he knew my name. That's the ability of gravity you used there right? I asked instead. You are right Raph it seems you are a bright one as well, the cloaked man replied. Why did you save me though? I don't have any relation with you so you could have just walked away but you decided to save me, why?

That would have been a waste of talent. I saved you because your ability is very important than you know it ,and in the wrong hands, it could be the total destruction of the entire human race. So I want to ask, do you mind being my student? I want to train you and for you to become the future guide of my chosen descendants. Of course you can decline, I won't force it on you he said, but I could tell he really wanted me to be his student.

Should I? I mean I just met this guy and I don't even know him. At least he saved my life right? What if he is one of those bad guys after my power and he is just faking all of this? The young raph continued to think as he wasn't able to make a decision.

Moving a few meters away from Raph, it won't be a big deal bragging about how special I am right? I really need him to come with me, the future of this whole world somehow depends on him as he also has a role to play in this, the man thought to himself as he raised his open palm high above his head. Few seconds later, sparks of lightning could be seen as they shot out towards the sky and a large amount of magical power emitted with it.

Even though the amount of magical power this time was several time what was released earlier, Raph's attention wasn't on that. He was focused on the ability that was being used as he realized something.

Two!!? Two abilities? How is that possible? Never in the entire history of godlings has there ever been anyone who could use two abilities, so how? What is going on? Who on earth is this guy?

Now knowing he got the young boys attention, the man continued to speak. This is a gift I got bestowed for the good deeds I do, I was deemed worthy to possess such power for the safety of the human race. After I die, this power will be transfered to a few of my descendants who are also deemed worthy. That is why I want to train you to take over the role of training them and teaching them to never forget the goal of protecting the humans even though they evolve to become evil doers. You are the only one that is fit for this job kid, that's how important and special you are, the cloaked man said with a smile.

With me left alone in this world and thinking I was of no use, I found hope again and decided to follow and become a student of Lord Kreegar as we set out on adventures to protect the innocent and humanity as a whole.
