Failures

' Haa is it because I'm too young or because my body isn't compatible to absorb this energy? ' Kai thought to himself and couldn't help but feel a little downcasted after the failure.

' And I was called a monstrous talent in my previous life. ' he thought in a self mocking tone. ' But I was also called the tenacious monster. '

When kai thought of that name, a smile appeared on his face, he was never one to give up so easily, no matter how long it would take he would keep trying.

' SOUL EYE '

He thought and shut his eyes close, when he felt his eyes turning a little hot, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the countless energy particles flowing in the air.

His hand moved towards one of the particles, and just when his finger came in contact with it Kai imagined it being sucked into his body, as he pushed his finger forward, at first that particle was just being pushed back by his finger.

Then Kai visualized it being devoured by his body, he could feel a weak suction force being created around his hand but it wasn't enough to absorb this energy, so he directed all the suction force towards the tip of his finger, imagining a small black hall that kept sucking everything towards it.

Then suddenly he felt that one particle of energy got absorbed into his body, and instantly excitement filled his mind.

' I did it- ughhhhhhhhh '

But before he could celebrate a painful groan came out of his mouth when that single particle of energy began to run wildly into his body, Kai knew if he didn't release that particle his body was going to be destroyed from inside.

So he hastily pushed that particle out of his body, which wasn't too hard he just needed to create a way, and it automatically ran out of his body as if freedom was given to it again.

' Fuck I almost haa haa died just now, I have to be careful. ' his body was drenched in sweat as he thought that, he looked to the side and wondered:

' If my body had been destroyed it would have been one bloody scene and a great mystery, she would definitely have been traumatised to see my limbs all over the place. haa, I need to be careful- ' Just then he noticed something, why was he trying to stay alive when he had already decided to commit suicide, but he had no answers for it?

After thinking about this for a little longer, he fell asleep, Kai hadn't noticed it but when he had absorbed that single particle of energy some of it had gotten absorbed into his body, mixing into his blood and in the morning he would be able to feel the slight difference.

...

Kai woke up early in the morning even before Emily, yet he was feeling full of energy and all the exhaustion he was feeling yesterday had disappeared completely.

' Absorbing energy just like yesterday won't give me any results, maybe I should learn how energy travels into mommy's body. ' Thinking this he looked to the side, a smile appeared on his face unknowingly when he looked at his mother's peacefully sleeping face.

' Haa I wish we could live peacefully like this forever, anyway SOUL EYE ' While thinking this he closed his eyes, and when he opened them his pupils had turned purple.

He had already learned a way to absorb the energy particles into his body, now he needed to learn to control them and create a path for them to flow.

One second passed, two seconds passed and only after three seconds passed was he forced to close his eyes.

' Oh, so yesterday wasn't a complete failure, Great!! ' Kai exclaimed in excitement. Soon Emily woke up and Kai threw out all his thoughts away as he began to chat with her.

In the night, Kai again made up his mind to do the same thing again, taking in a long breath he activated Soul Eye as countless particles of energy came into his view.

Stretching his hand forward, he touched one of the smaller particles and thought about the feeling of devouring it, as it was slowly absorbed into his body and just like yesterday the particle of energy began to charge in random directions inside his body.

He again created a way for the particle of the energy to leave and as if given a great reward, the particle rushed out of his body.

' Mommy is absorbing energy so normally, and when that energy enters her body it acts so docile, following the predetermined path yet why does it act so wildly inside my body? Maybe it's just cause my body is just too weak to tame them- ' Before he could finish his thoughts he fell asleep because of exhaustion.

For the next few days, Kai used Soul Eye to study the energy's properties and the way Emily absorbed it, and at night he would try to absorb energy particles daily.

Slowly he was getting a little better at it, after the practice of a few weeks he was able to keep the energy particle inside his body for more than ten seconds, he would let the particle run around his body striking various places but nowhere close to places that could fatally hurt him, so even though the process was a little painful he was able to absorb an entire particle into his body after some time.

Kai had checked before, and he found that Ron was an ordinary human like most of the people in their Arom village, even though it was called a village there were only a little over thirty houses there, and all of them were surrounded by forest and fields from all sides.
