Chapter 5: Goodbyes and New Home.

Aaron was shocked as he recalled the earlier moments, the feelings he was feeling, the power the he put out, and didn't know what to say, no doubt he was a Blood Elemental…

What was that loss of rationality he had earlier? He's never been so mad especially over something so minor.

Did he possibly awaken naturally?

It's said that people who awaken naturally have to deal with 2x the pain or 2x the power.

Is it possible his anger was heightened because so? He's not sure, but he hopes that's the case, because he hated the feeling of losing control over himself, it felt like he wasn't even in his body and someone had taken over. It was too scary, he didn't want to be like that again.

But forgetting that, he remembers what his mother said about them splitting up, is this what she meant…

Facing stone cold reality Aaron looked at his siblings whose eyes have turned pink, and felt bitter, why did he have to lose the family he dreamed for his whole life, right after he came back? This is a question Aaron will continue to ask maybe for the rest of his life. Will he ever truly belong somewhere?

Through the rest of the ceremony he looked nothing like a doll, he didn't move and there was a blank expression on his face. His family was worried, even Farron tried giving him a few shakes but to no avail, Aaron didn't move a bit.

No one except Caiayla knew why…

Being in the position she's in she has seen many awakenings and knows it's merely just a draw back all blood Elementals have after releasing too much energy and blood lust and getting barely to none in return. If her sister hadn't flew into her and flew somewhere else, she would have been Aaron's first kill… She shivered just thinking about it.

He's a naturally awakened as well, which is extremely worse. She's glad it happened here at the arena or he may have killed a lot of people, sucking their blood dry until they had none, maybe even his family's as well… But this is also how blood elementals get stronger, he may have gotten her sister to throw up blood, but that's not nearly enough blood for his natural awakening.

Since he didn't receive enough blood he's probably going to be half competent, she doesn't know if she should be happy or sad. Either way she has work to do and must get this ceremony over with before Annie wakes up and acts irrationally.

A long time flew past, 2 days to be exact, there is but too many children to awaken and Caiayla had even gone quickly. Lucky enough neither Annie nor Aaron woke up the whole time.

It was finally time for the ending of the ceremony.

"Thank you all for coming and staying for the ceremony! We will now open the doors and you will all be free. It's been a rough few days, and I can agree we all need some rest. So other than parents of the four kids up here everyone else is free to go." Caiayla said as she waved her hands and the once tightly shut door bursted open.

You could hear cheers. People were clearly very happy to leave. Many people bursted through the door and their were happy kids waiting to test their prowess.

Soon the whole arena was empty with the exception of Aaron, his family and the magic elemental's family.

They were all gathered up on stage. The sitting kids were now standing. With exception to Aaron who was on Farron's back.

Caiayla took a look at Aaron's mom and couldn't help but be shocked!

"A-Aaralian??? What are you doing in uncommon continent?" Caiayla couldn't help but blurt aloud as she walked up to Aaralian slowly.

"Caiayla, it's been a long time, a hundred years to be exact."

Getting her confirmation Caiayla felt even more shocked. This woman was her childhood best friend. 100 years ago they were just 16 year old teens parting after leaving college, after that Caiayla was locked up in Legendary Continent not being allowed out.

Any family or friends she had were no longer. She only had the people in the continent to rely on. She was very sad.

But being able to see her best friend again, she couldn't help but cry and run into her arms. Her big sister. Big sister Lian!

All this time she's been locked up in Legendary suffering from injustice, having her sisters get killed after little mistakes, forced to chase after a throne she didn't even want, nearly dying all the time! She doesn't know how many times shes been poisoned... If it wasn't for her climbing into the bed of a woman she would have died many times now.

"Ayla, your tears will stain my cape." A lovely voice spoke out to her, it was mixed with heartache and pity.

"I'm sorry. I missed you so much! I've never stopped thinking about you…" Caiayla said still holding on tightly to Aaralian.

"Ok, me too, get off me." She said pushing her away.

Caiayla moved away and seen her big sister. She was just so beautiful. She remembers that boys would always try to steal her heart, but her big sister was strong and never fell in love with someone who could never beat her! So she never dated anyone. Unlike her who would jump at any chance to get with someone.

Caiayla sighed hard.

"Big sister, what are you do here?"

"I'm here for my kids obviously." Aaralian said with a smile while pointing to her kids. She had also realized her son Aaron had awoken and was looking curiously as were the other two.

Looking at her children together, she couldn't help but smile. This is the last time she'll ever see them.

That big daughter of hers who is always crying, her second son who is always acting tough but is truly soft on the inside and her little son who has been through much. She's going to miss them. Very much.

Caiayla looked at the three kids and was shocked. Her big sister actually had kids? If she had kids does that mean she found herself a man, or maybe a woman? She looked around but her big sister seemed to be alone…

"Big sister, you…"

Aaralian motioned her to stop as she walked near her kids. She patted each of their heads.

"My children unfortunately we will part today, but I know your future will be bright. You three have huge potential you just have to grasp a hold of it when it comes." The mother then turned to the magic elemental's parents and gave them a few words, asking them if they could take care of her children in her absence, to which they said yes.

"Mother why are you leaving us?" Aaron asked sadly… Just what is going on? He finds his mother is just more and more mysterious.

"There's something mother has to do, and to do it I have to leave you guys." Aaralian spoke bitterly, she didn't want to leave her children, but she felt this was something she had to do.

Tears fell from the children's eyes.

Aaron got off of Farron's back as they all grouped hugged. They knew this was it. It was time for their parting.

Farron and Lia moved closer to the magic elemental which they learned was named Taylia according to Caiayla's orders.

"Ok, I will let you all say your goodbyes." Caiayla said feeling a bit saddened by the depressive air.

Lia started bawling, she didn't want to leave her mother or Aaron. She was also stuck with her idiot brother, life was so cruel.

Farron who was surprisingly taller than Lia came up from behind her and started to console her, he put her hand on his shoulder and she cried into his chest, she took one last look at her little brother and waved goodbye, so did Farron who finally cried for the first time since their father died.

Aaron watched on as his siblings were crying and waving goodbye and felt massive heartache, be he didn't cry. He just waved goodbye.

Caiayla was unable to watch any longer.

She held her arms up and chanted.

"I order you to go to your designated place."

A light started to form around them, a great pressure descended and then disappeared like it was never there, it felt like there was no gravity around them they started floating, and then the feeling of being torn apart into million different pieces ensued, loud cries issued out.

The cries only lasted a few seconds before the children and parents were gone. The only ones left in the arena were Caiayla, Annie and Aaralian.

"Are you going to miss them." Caiayla asked Aaralian.

"Of course they are my children after all." She said with a smile.

"I'm sure they'll do great things… So are you coming with me… Y'know, to Legendary?" Caiayla said hesitantly.

"If you'll let me." Aaralian smiled at her.

"Ok." Caiayla spoke no more, she went and grabbed Annie who was still slouching on the chair and tossed her on her shoulder. She then grabbed Aaralian's hand and they disappeared from the arena.

Not a single soul left.

When Aaron opened his eyes he found himself standing at a beast station. No one was here it was like a barren land. He wasn't sure, Caiayla wouldn't teleport him somewhere that wasn't reliable, so he called out.

"Hello! Is anyone there!?" No other sounds were made.

Aaron truly started to get worried, a few tears which he had been keeping inside started to fall.

He lost his family, and now he's really lost.

His few tears turned into a river all the grief he had in his past and now life started to pour through.

He cried at the top of his lungs.

Suddenly a voice came from over top his head.

"Hey, kid. Whatcha crying for?" A raucous voice sounded out.

"Huh…?"

Aaron lifted his head up and his eyes met with another pair of eyes...

They were golden and looked a lot like cat eyes.

Aaron was startled, but he did not move. He looked at the boy that was floating upside down aggressively.

"Hmm? Are you angry at me little boy?"

"Who are you!?" Aaron didn't answer his question and glared at him ready to attack at any moment.

"Oh! How interesting!" The boy turned right up and dropped to the ground.

He grabbed Aaron and put him in his bosom as he started walking.

Aaron widened his eyes. It all happened so fast…

He tried to escape but felt he couldn't this person… Was strong.

Aaron looked up, the boy had a handsome face, a nice jaw, a straight nose soft eyebrows and nice lips, he looked around Aaron's age before he died in his last life.

Aaron thought that when he grew up he'd be even better looking.

Anyway he was getting sidetracked, he was being kidnapped!

"Let me down! Who even are you! Let me go!" Though it's stupid, he asked these questions anyway, he might be a nice guy and let him down…

"Hmm… No I don't want to put you down, you are such a cute little boy, I'll take you in as my disciple." The boy said.

"What? You're just a kid! All your really trying to do is kidnap cute little boys such as myself and make them your disciple! Are you crazy!?"

The boy stopped in his tracks!

"I'm not a kid! I'm 16! I am old enough to be your master, you know there's no better blood elemental than me. There's only 100 blood elementals in all of unique! Do you know how lucky you are? I have a bright future.

He put Aaron on the ground and sliced his wrist. Look started to flow out, entering Aaron's body.

Aaron opened his eyes wide and started to yell in agony. It was awful, too much blood entered his body.

His organs started to rupture and eventually exploded, blood flowed out of Aaron's eyes ears mouth anywhere that had a hole, blood was flowing out.

The pain was agonising, he was sure he was about to die.

He managed to look and the elemental who did this to him.

The elemental had a serious look on his face, it was emotionless, like what he was looking at wasn't even alive. It's like his face was saying 'if you die now you are nothing but trash.'

Aaron could not accept such a provoking look.

He held on for as long as he could.

The outside of his body started to burst open and blood flowed out endlessly, eventually he couldn't take it anymore and passed out. He was sure he had died, but what he didn't know was that a little after he passed out his body started to rebuild itself, to accommodate all the blood he'd received, his veins and organs grew bigger and so did his body.

His legs and arms which one would say were as skinny as sticks grew the size of logs, and his thin stomach enlarged, his eyes looked a little bit bigger and his hair flowed endlessly, it was as if blood was running through every part of his body, even his hair and eyelashes! He grew a little taller…

The boy watched in satisfaction as he nodded his head multiple times as if he made a treasure. After Aaron's finished transformation, he grabbed and pulled him into his bosom again and started to fly away.

When Aaron opened his eyes he seen white everywhere, it smelled of medicinal herbs, he sat up and looked around, there were two chairs, a door, curtains, he was in a hospital, a nice one as well…

He took a deep breath and felt surprised.

There was blood Qi everywhere around. This made him look down at his bed which was made out of blood qi.

He was shocked, this place was like a heaven.

He was so engrossed in the Qi he failed to realize the state of his body…

Aaron closed his eyes and started circulating Qi naturally. It started to make his stuffy body feel a lot better.

He felt the blood in his body that was given to him turn into Qi and started head towards his dantian. He was surprised. He opened his eyes and revelled in the mysterious wonderful feeling. He clenched his hands and looked at them… He felt something was off. He opened and closed his hands many times before he realised his hands looked big and fat.

He was terrified, did he cross over into another life!??? And crossed over into a fatty!? He checked all over his body, he was truly a little fatty! He was panicking, what kind of world did he come to this time? And why does it have blood Qi as well? Is it possible the world transferes him into another blood elemental so he could get back at that mysterious boy??? That must be it. The world is truly in his favour.

He clenched his fat fist again, he'll get his revenge… While lost in his fantasies the door had opened and someone familiar came in.

Aaron widened his eyes, isn't that they guy he is to get revenge on? The world really is in his favour! Its like a pie that fell from a sky! Wonderful!

He smirked, but why is this person here, what's the relation?

The boy spoke out with a smile on his face.

"Ahh! You are finally awake! I'm so glad you didn't die back there now I can truly take you as my disciple!"

Hm? Such familiar words… It can't be that he didn't get reborn and has actually somehow turned into a fatty?

He laughed at the thought, not possible, he used to be as skinny as a stick. It's not possible.

He laughed to himself.

"Is it that you are so happy to become my disciple that you are laughing? That's great! Wait a while, the hospital will let you go soon, and you can come to your new home!" The boy said with big smiles, but felt like he forgot something and added,

"You may also be wondering why you've gotten so big, well… After the in take of all the blood your body had to reconstruct to accommodate it all which turned you into a little fatty, you still are cute maybe even cuter than before."

Aaron's heart dropped, he took time to organise everything the boy had just said, he felt he was about to have a mental breakdown, well until he remembered the boy's last sentence.

He's still cute?? Well, that's all that matters. With that he became happy again! But then he remembered this guy wanted to take him in as a disciple.

"I don't even know your name so how can I be your disciple!?" Aaron said with fury.

"Your little fat jiggles are so cute!! Hehe."

"You!" Aaron was furious.

"Haha, ok my disciple, my name is Anthony, remember it well." Anthony said all smiles.

Before Aaron could speak a doctor came in and discharged Aaron and allowed him to leave.

"Come my disciple." Anthony grabbed him and jumped out the hospital window.

Well apparently they were on a high floor and Aaron was screaming for his life. But he felt a soft force pull him up and breeze through the air. He was flying, and it felt wonderful.

Before Aaron knew it he was in front of a huge mansion. It was brown and light brown, three stories high and a beautiful yard.

"Well my little disciple, welcome to the Cantu home, also know as the Blood clan… This is your new home." Anthony said with a calm tone as he smiled in reminiscence.
