Chapter 16 : Night Time Adventure

The air felt heavy with the grave stench of blood, it was everywhere around Lucian, on his body and clothes and generally his surroundings.

He had been standing still on the very spot Hikaru died for the past three seconds and upon turning his head two distinctive humanoid figures were seen jumping away from the roof of the building.

Several pointed kunai edges prodded from Hikaru's old body, this was probably the cause of old man's grim death.

He looked down at the body and looked forward, a thought flashed through his mind ' He was used ', his mind was in a tremor of emotions.

He felt sadness, happiness, regret, guilt, hatred and most significantly intense pain, he broke out in a wild crackle dropping to his knees in defeat.

What was happening, ever since the beginning of this dread week he had been encountering the worst of lucks, just what did he do to deserve this.

The pain gnawed at his heart as he raised his face looking at the tranquil sky his pained laugh continuing, he momentarily forgot that moments ago this very human tried to kill him.

His eyes watered as the laugh got louder and louder, after some time it soon evolved into a wail, he clutched on Hikaru's blood dried body wailing his eyes out.

Moments turned into seconds, seconds into minutes, minutes into hours but Lucian didn't care he just had to get the pain of his chest.

When the sun was at it's zenith brown earth could be seen flying around hazily, under it's searing heat a deep pit could be seen.

On the depths of that pit was a little blood drenched frail looking figure which engaged in the continues process of digging up dirt, the harsh sun struck him but he couldn't care less.

With swollen eyes and a deadbeat expression Lucian had decided to surrender his master back to it's owner Lady Gaia aka mother Earth.

He had previously read in books that burying the dead was a way of showing respect to the deceased, Lucian just had to search the basement which was filled with tools and utensils till he found a shovel.

With incredible strength dwarfing incredibly strong super humans digging an eight feet deep pit was a piece of cake.

He jumped out of the pit and carried the pale bloodless body before jumping back in, this he carefully placed his deceased master on the depths of the pit and jumped out.

Getting a hold of his shovel and covered the pit effortlessly, after that the got some ropes and sticks then fabricaj ted a cross out of it finally mounting it on the edge of the grave as he had read in novels.

Saying a few words of prayers left him enough time to reminisce about his past with his master and think of his future without him.

Oddly for some reason his mind felt hollow, he couldn't for some reason remember his beloved master that tried to kill him, thus after some minutes of thinking about Hikaru's last words he laughed and rose.

Retreating into the dark mansion he washed up and changed his clothes, he lay down on his bed falling asleep mere minutes later, this allowed his mind to maintain tranquillity.

When he woke up it was evening and their was a light rain outside as if sent to wash up all the blood from the prequel of events, he went out.

He didn't go into the rain but sat on a stool in the kitchen watching the rain wash away all the pain, but it was then he spotted an anomaly under his tree.

This sparked a chain of memories and he had to run into the rain quickly to fetch a wooden box of unknown contents, this was his last memory of Hikaru.

Lucian returned to his stool with the box, it felt a little heavy but as previously stated Lucian lifted it as if it was air, shaking the rain off his body he sat to and pried the box open with his fingers.

Nails popped out of its holes and hinges went of like fire burning thread, wood snapped like twigs and splinters flew like javelins.

An eery glow appeared on Lucian's face as he saw its contents, a pair of gauntlets, a pair of greaves, a metallic nunchaku and a hard cover book.

The pieces of armour were made in such a special way that they weren't even ment to be called armour parts, upon wearing them he could feel strength running through his veins as the cold hard metal meet his skin.

On the knuckles of the gauntlet were four sharp pointed spikes similar to the kneecaps of the greaves, a sense of defense and offense filled Lucian's heart with joy as he tested his new weapons.

But sadly he had to drop his new toys and see what was written in the book, turning through the first page he saw a note that filled his being with resentment.

" Dear Lucian " it began, " I know not if this message with get to you but if it does it means you have survived, I write this note with a troubled mind knowing that it would be our last interaction ".

" Written in it's obsolete pages hold the arts of tempering the human body to it's limits, every thing I have taught you and more are carefully jotted in this book of Virtue, study it thus you shalln't forget the greatest weapon of man ".

" I am sorry for any chain of event that he'd occurred before reading this, remember it's nearly impossible to be able to get this as you would have to kill me "

" Shall you or they succeed in ending my existence then this is your's for the keeps, I am going to plead with you to please find my daughter and help her as they wouldn't be anyone else there to help, Sayonara Lucian I shall be watching from below " the note ended.

Lucian ripped thr the page out and threw it under the diminishing rain, he returned the contents of the box into it and watched the rain peacefully till night came.

He didn't quite realize it until he checked his pocket watch and it read nine fifty one, * Sigh *, the rain was now nothing but a feeling in the air similar to the feeling of His miserably boring life.

Besides the grave were seven six inches metal weapons akin to spear tips with an six inches thin metal handle with a loop at the end, he picked it up and observed it's glittering blade.

Giving it a throw at the wall proved it's deadliness, it easily penetrated the wall similar to a hot knife cutting through butter, that wall was a formidable barrier made of unknown materials.

It looked like it was made of stones and concrete but it actually wasn't, it was dark in hue not because of paint but because of the natural nature of the material used in creating it.

That material was so strong it could survive a hundred percent of Lucian's strength so he could never escape, but the weapon he just threw, the Kunai penetrated so easily he only saw the loop at the end of the kunai.

Drawing out the weapon turned out to be a drop in larva, he put his finger through the loop and yanked out the kunai but not without nearly dislocating his shoulder joint.

And then a idea sparked through his mind, his adventure to the outside world would soon commence.
