A New Beginning

Meanwhile, in the pool, the three boys were struggling to survive. They tried to swim but the blood was too thick, so they couldn't swim far. They drowned faster the more they struggled.

They couldn't see or hear anything. They only had their thoughts to accompany them as they waited for their imminent death.

Peter refused to give up. He tried to swim upwards with all his might. He even tried to use his metal ability to create chains to stop himself from sinking; however, every time he created the chains they would dissipate as if something was melting them. Left with no other options all he could do was struggle and hope someone comes to save him.

Paul tried to swim upwards just like Peter, he eventually gave up that idea when he noticed that he sank faster the more he moved. Paul tried to gather his metal energy into a single point, but the energy dissipated faster than he could accumulate it. He eventually gave up and accepted his fate.

Leywin on the other hand was calm. The moment before he fell into the pool, he had taken a deep breath. He didn't even try to swim upwards, he closed his eyes as he reminisced about his life. His life wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. Although wished for some things to be different, he didn't mind it because one face was always there for him.

To him, this face was the most beautiful face in the world. This face turned rainy days into sunny days. This face always supported him. This face was there at his lowest point and his highest point. This face was his world. His beginning. His middle. His end...

'NOOO!!' he screamed in his mind. 'I WILL SURVIVE EVEN IF THE WORLD WANTS ME DEAD! HOW DARE ANYONE TAKE AWAY WHAT BELONGS TO ME!! I WILL SURVIVE!!!!'

Unfortunately, the world didn't care about him or his thoughts.

Twenty minutes later, Leywin was about to lose consciousness when he heard a voice.

"Do you want power?"

"No, I want a chance. I know how to get power, I only need time." Leywin instinctively answered. He was not in the right state of mind to think about where the voice came from or why it was there.

"Haha!! You have the right mindset!" the voice crackled.

"Will you still want the chance if you lose your humanity?" the voice asked after it stopped laughing.

"It does not matter what form I take, I will always be me," Leywin answered again.

"Hahaha!! You are truly worthy to become one of them." the voice laughed. It seemed that it was enjoying itself.

"Here is your chance!! Don't waste it!!" the voice commanded.

The pool of blood started to heat up and churn after the voice spoke the last words.

If Sam was still there he would have seen that the pool looked like it was boiling.

The blood in the pool unhurriedly entered Leywin's body. The process was incredibly painful, almost mind-breaking, however Leywin didn't react. This pain meant nothing when compared to the pain of losing the person that face belongs to, his mother.

The blood entered through his pores and orifices. It rearranged, refined, and reminded every inch of him. The blood was recreating him.

Leywin's body that was already fit became more compact and buff. His hair grew longer and his black turned crimson. His originally dark-brown eyes turned amber-gold. He grew taller, going from 5'11" to 6'5".

The changes to Leywin were not only external. He now had a golden heart, his bones became as black as obsidian, his brain and lungs became translucent and his blood was now crimson red.

Two hours later, Leywin woke up in a hole. The hole used to be the pool of blood. He looked around for Peter and Paul but they were no we're nowhere to be seen, he could only assume the worst.
