Chapter 1- The boy Nigo

Nigo gradually awakened, the morning rays of sunlight greeting his eyes, his vision was blurry making him unable to see his surrounding clearly.

What was that...... Why does it feel so real? If it was just a dream then why do I remember everything clearly and still feel every bit of emotion down to the last bit of my memory?

The door suddenly opened and a person walked into the room.The sound of the door opening caused nigo to jolt back into reality, his vision cleared up and he sat up to look at the the person who just entered from the door.

"Hah! You're awake"

The voice of an elderly woman entered his ear as he suddenly felt a calm in his heart and the confusion dissipating.

At a glance, the woman looked to be in her early sixties, she wore a red gown which was slightly below her knees.Her hair was black with some strands of white in it, she had a black belt to go with her black shoe. Her face without wrinkle despite her age, she is a mature beauty. she had a smile on her face but one could see the worry hidden in her eyes as she approached the bed.

"For you to be up this early,It appears you had one of those dreams again" she said,with voice filled with worry.

Nigo didn't respond, his expression showed he was still confused and worried over something.

"I don't know what you dreamt about this time but don't allow it weigh you down" she continued in a comforting tone laced with utility energy.

"Good morning granny chi"Nigo finally said.

" Sorry for not responding earlier" He apologised

"There is no need for an apology, you're the only one who knows how you feel so who can blame you?"

She said in response

"Do you think I'm abnormal" Nigo asked a question that wasn't meant for Granny chi but himself.

Granny chi heaved a sigh before saying "I've already told you before; everyone's time of being able to use utility energy is different, you haven't hit 13 yet so,there is still hope......"

"It's not that!"Nigo suddenly cut her off "This time it didn't seem like a dream, it felt like a memory of the past"

"Even right now my body still feels the sensation of everything that happened in the dream, like it was me who used the energy in the dream, the power the shock waves, it still felt real.The vision can be imaginary but the feeling can't be faked,can it?"

"And unlike the other dreams which i remember vaguely, i clearly recall this one perfectly!"He paused before lowering his voice to say "In this dream,I was called.......... Lord Guardian"

Granny chi:"...."

"I know it sounds absurd but that is the truth.Don't look at me like a mad man, Granny chi" He stopped talking as he looked down at the bed sheets while trying to avoid the look on granny chi's face, he knew the guardian had not appeared in Five hundred years, so saying what he just said would make him sound like a crazy person.

Granny chi kept silent for a while before walking towards the window.

She stopped before it and raised her head to look at sun in the sky through the window. Then, she said without looking at him "Do you know what today is?"

"It is the day of Falling Stars" he replied without thinking. It was common knowledge among humans and spirits that once every hundred years, there would be rain of star meteorites on any continent facing the sun at the time of star meteor formation, so he didn't understand why she would ask that question.

"You are indeed correct. However, in the 《Record of Legends》 this day symbolises another event in history" She phased for a while before saying

"The day of Guardian Proclamation"

Nigo:"Guardian Proclamation?"

"Yes" she said as she turned to look at him "It was stated in the 'Record of legends' that whenever a new 'Guardian' was picked by the 'Celestial Yang Spirit', there would be a rain of Star meteors on the continent where the Guardian hails from to proclaim the Celestial Yang Spirit's continued coexistence with humans"

"But....After it's disappearance Five hundred years ago, the star meteorites fell every hundred years in succession. " She stopped talking,while she continued looking at the sun

"But Dad is currently the Guardian of the earth, right?" Nigo asked

"Yes he is, but he was picked by humans not the Celestial Yang spirit, After the spirit disappeared Five hundred years ago,the humans sought for a way to maintain peace among humans and spirits. So, the Guardian was picked through a process of thorough selection" She replied

Nigo pondered for awhile before he furrowed his brows and asked "Celestial Yang spirit...... Granny chi, is there a Celestial Yin Spirit"

"...."Granny chi raised her brows slightly as a slight look of shock appeared on her face "Yes there is but.... how do you know that name and why are you asking?"

"Nothing" Nigo responded,he tried to hide the fear in his eyes.

Granny chi didn't probe any further

"If the legends are true, then you should be happy as your dream may be a premonition of good things to happen, even though you can't use 'utility energy' yet and your 'Liaison core' has not awakened, there is still hope as you have not reached the age limit. Therefore you can't be called a cripple.Perhaps, the heavens has plans for your" Granny chi said as she walked close to him

"Thank you granny chi for your encouragement" Nigo replied as he stood up to hug her (Author: This is an innocent hug dirty minded people)

"Alright, Alright it's time to prepare for school" she said caressing his head for a while before disengaging from the embrace.

"Yes" he replied and started walking towards the closet in the room.

Granny chi walked out of the room and closed the door behind her before sighing heavily "I could'nt tell him that the Guardian incarnate begin to see memories of the past incarnations, so he won't be too disappointed later"

"Hmmmm...."

"Oh well, i just hope a miracle happens" she said before walking to the hall way of the house,which was as large as the hall way of a castle, with ornamental decorations at the sides.The floor was made with spirit stones which reflected the images like a mirror.

Nigo was done preparing for school.This time,he was clad in a cream coloured hood and black pants,his dress code was so simple that if someone who didn't know him sees him, they wouldn't believe that he is the son of the most important figure on earth.

He ate his breakfast and carried his bag, then he walked towards the door. Granny chi saw him and looked at him carefully before saying "You don't ever get tired of dressing like this"

"Why would I get tired of dressing like this?" He responded with a smile on his face.

"Never mind!....just remember to come home immediately after school today.The news stated;our continent would be the area of 'Falling Stars' this time around, so i don't want you to be outside when it starts"

"Oh...okay" Nigo said" Is zara already here?"

Zara was his friend since childhood (he's still a child.....kinda).She was among the two friends he had ever made in his life, she was also strong and talented.

At the age of seven when they first met at school , she was already at the S - tier of the 'Beginner Utility Domain', right now four years later she was already at the S - tier of the 'Staff utility domain' crossing from one one domain to the peak of a greater domain. Her use of utility energy and control over the ice element was unmatched among her peers, even teachers were sometimes jealous of her talent.

Despite all this achievements, she still waited for him every morning for them to head for school with each other.

Granny chi smiled before saying "she has been waiting outside for sometime now"

"Heh....why does she always prefer to sit outside instead of entering the house?"Nigo asked

"When you see her ask her yourself, isn't she your friend?"Granny chi continued smiling

"There's something you're not telling me" Nigo had a probing look on his face.

"Start heading to school, you're running late already. Even though you are the Guardian's son, it shouldn't exempt you from punishment for late coming" Granny chi said

"Eh.....What's that supposed to mean?"

Granny chi made a gesture with her finger and an unseen energy pushed him gently towards the door.

"Hey! Granny chi! .....you haven't answered my question!"Nigo said on as he was pushed to the door, he couldn't resist the energy, he was a cripple.

Nigo finally land on his feet outside the door of the house in the middle of his compound.

His house was like a palace with different quaters, for it was the house of the most important person in the world, it had a name 'The Guardian Villa'. Due to his status as the Guardian's son having cars carry him to school every day would be considered the norm,but he doesn't like those exaggerated luxury. He prefered walking to school with his friend 'Zara' every day since he was seven.

He looked outside the compound to see the figure of a young girl sitting on a chair across the street, the girl looked at him as a smile appeared on her face, she got up to her feet and crossed the street to meet him.

She wore a blue gown and a sandal, she was an ebony beauty with brown hair which she let flow down to her waist, Her eyes were blue and her lips slightly pink, she had long eye lashes which gave her dreamy eyes, her face was tender and smooth.She wore a gold armlet around her arm.

"How long have you been waiting?" he asked while walking out to meet her

"For about twenty minutes " she said while looking at his dress code. she asked "was this what you were doing in there?"

"Yes" He nodded before continuing "I was searching for which hood was the lightest due to the sunny weather today"

"Oh, I see "she said "But you always wear a sweater no matter the weather, can't you wear a shirt instead? you can't use utility energy to control your body tempera....."She suddenly stopped when she noticed she might have said something wrong

"sorry for over stepping my boundaries" she said with an apologetic tone

"Nah, don't worry about that. You are just looking out for me, right?"Nigo responded "Now that I think of it, why didn't you come inside to wait for me in my house?"

"Nothing....." She replied, she suddenly looked up at the sky, smiled and pulled his arm."Let's get going." they started heading to school.

"Wait! Wait ah.....why are you suddenly pulling me like that!"

"Won't you answer my question first?"

"Why are you ladies refusing to ans......Ah"

Nigo screamed and struggled to no avail, how would he release himself from the grip of an 'User' at the Peak of the staff domain? It was like an ant and a mountain, the difference was like heaven and earth. One was a 'cripple' while other was a staff domain expert.

Zara didn't even feel his struggle. Except for his skin, she would have forgotten that she was pulling someone but his shouts were disturbing.

Zara suddenly stopped, Nigo stopped his shouting and said "You finally decided to stop huh"

Zara looked at him and said menacingly "If you don't stop shouting, I will freeze your mouth so you won't talk again"

"You're kidding right."

Zara remained quiet

"Right?"Nigo said with a face of apprehension

Zara brought her face closer until their faces where few centimetres apart before replying "Hehehe.....try me and see"

Nigo froze before saying in a fake sobbing voice "you ladies bully me because I'm a cripple.... fake sob ......fake sob"

"Eh...... so you know how to cry like a baby too"

Nigo stopped his act, he knew that continuing was a waste of time and acting was even worse because zara knew him like the back her hand.

"Good, now let's go" she said and then they continued their journey.

Nigo suddenly started whispering "Ah, why won't answer me Ah! Ah!"

Zara stopped to look at him, a wisp of blue light flashed in her eyes

Nigo:"( >-

"No no I won't speak again! Ah!......"

DING!
