Ch7_first fragment, Jacob part 6_ gift

" Now how did you enter the Elysium"

Nolan swallowed hard and said " Elysium What is that?" With confusion

The man looked at Nolan's eyes then he snorted " you don't even know that,how ignorant can you be"

Then he continued " that place filled with the dead fireflies"

"Fireflies?? What are those" Nolan seemed more confused

"The man looked at nolan for a moment making him tense up then he said "that place filled with those kids with tragic death"

"The stars!!i don't know how I've got there" Nolan replied

"Haaaaah, don't you know anything , i didn't think they would send you without any protection or information,well i guess I'm the one to blame for that"

"What is your name,kid" he asked

"My name is.....,it is ....." Nolan's eyes widened

How can this be possible,he forgot his own name

The man sighted again"it's no wonder your soul was about to crumble,your spirit got fired to the point of forgetting everything,well that's not too hard to repair "

One of the smaller chains tying the man cracked and broke only for ten other chains to replace it

The broken chain was connected to the man's head and the other side shot at Nolan's head

Nolan stood there in a trance

Seeing his life flashing in front of his eyes

He remembered everything he once lost ,but it didn't have the same weight anymore, after seeing all this death ,and feeling all that pain, it seemed as if life held a different meaning for the kid who out lived so many lives that he couldn't count

After a few moments light was back to his eyes with a hint of recognition " my name is Nolan" he Said

"I guess that did work . How old are you Nolan,you seem to be quite young" the man said

"I will be eight this week"he said

The man was dumbfounded for a moment

"Hahahahahahahaha, that's awesome,kid you're a marvel , hahahahahahaha"

Nolan stood there not daring to do anything until he was asked to

After he finished laughing the man Said " so those winged bitches found you at a young age , but to send you to the Elysium this early,do they fear me that much, tell me kid, how did you enter the Devine Hall at this age"

Nolan didn't reply he just made some confused sounds

The man frowned "how is that possible, hey never mind tell me what happened before you see those stars" he said

Nolan narrated what happened without leaving a single detail

Then the man mumbled " it came for you by itself,that didn't happen before, should i ...,haaah , that is going to be painful , well its not like i can't handle a little more pain , you deserve at least that much after showing me such an interesting vision,you don't know how much I've learned right now"

" Listen kid , there are things that are forbidden for me to talk about,so remember every word because I'm not going to repeat them"

"Well it's not like you will be able to forget anyway, that's the curse of our kind after all"

The world started to Trimble as the man spoke "no one was greater than the Titans, their words were the laws , they held each other's hands and touched dome of the sky, tried to size it , a foolish decision paved the road to their doom

Men grew wings and lived above the clouds looking down at the mortal dust, shining with the Halo of divinity ,but those who can't create life are no gods as even those who willed the wind and seas , and moved the sun and the moon were no gods

They forgot that the mortal dust once raised their heaven above the clouds and gave them wings , 

They forgot the score of their power, and how much of it they can really Weald ,a typical human behavior

You are a tool for them, a tool that can slit their through , the bastard son of heaven , just a glorified ox that does their dirty jobs

But The bastard is forever a bastard even if he has a god as a father

Don't compromise,and don't back down, as i live you are irreplaceable for them, don't sacrifice yourself for another, your life is more precious than anyone's, and people tend to forget what you did for them anyway, let them rot , as when you rot no one of them is going to bitty you

And remember don't resent your blood, i can feel the others blood in your veins, which one of them is it wonder, your blood is yours and yours alone and it's going to be your greatest weapon against your enemies and those who Acts as friends

Grow fast to witness the change of history,the fall of gods , maybe one day you'll stand by my side

We are destined to revive the titans then we will bring their doom

Power has a Price, when the time comes don't hesitate to pay, look at me what you see is one kind of a Payment after all

They are looking our way I will send you back before they recognize you

But first you should know that

To hold a book you need its cover

The stones of life and death,and the seven source jules, collect them all ,then you will be ready to hold the book, take it all , don't leave a page,only then we can rule , only then the dying world would become whole again

And only then the only dead titan shall come back to life

I will leave you a final gift , it will bring you misery and pain , but you've got used to even death, bear with it, i know you are going to be able to , some day its going to be your key to a new world

Once you understand my words you will know what to do now go back

Black blood flowed out of the mans mouth and shot Nolan to the head ,he was sent flying, as the arrow of blood fused with his body the world cracked and shuttered leaving him standing in front of the shattered star once again

Then the whole world which the man called "the Elysium" trembled and the shattered Star broke down to fragments

Nolan's body turned into a small globe similar to the dead stars

Then all the fragments fused with him

The globe grew larger and larger , and at some point Nolan's

At the dark hall the hanged man was laughing like a kid who has done a great prank

He said " really what an interesting fellow"

" They will be mortified if they know what I've told the kid , hahahahahahaha "

" I pushed the stagnant wheel of fate, what remains is waiting for my turn to take the stage and play my role, i didn't think that an opportunity like this can come to me out of thin air like this, how delightful, hahahahaha"

" That kid's fate doesn't look too bright though, haaaaaah , well it's not him along it seems that my punishment for meddling in those things arrived, that is going to sting "

White flames surrounded him and enveloped him. If anyone could see through the flames, they would have seen his body burning to ashes, then healing and regenerating, gathering all the ashes into a liquid, then solidifying to be the original body again. To accomplish this, the chains sucked every drop of his blood until it dried up, for the flames to heal him again and again. The chains cracked and broke, forcing him to be bound by dozens more of chains, for each chain to break again, and each chain to penetrate his body and soul, causing as much pain as possible. Despite all this, he did not scream or cry. All that came out of his mouth was an annoyed voice, "I'm sick of your tricks. Can't you learn something new, you idiots?"

The process went on for a long time that the man couldn't determine because he had lost the track of time a long time ago. But when the torture was over, his eyes opened in surprise. "I forgot to warn the boy. His body and mind will be in a state of near collapse. After this huge gathering of ether to send him to the Elysium, the mutants will definitely attack at any moment. Damn, this is too bad. Boy, you are my hope of achieving my goal. If you die after causing me this pain, I will kill you, you bastard

,i don't think he is going to die easily though , after all other than that curse i gave him a shard of my soul , well he can consider it a bonus gift , didn't he want to know my story , hahahahahaha, he is going to hate me for sure,hahahahahahaha"

" Haaaaah , i feel quite helpless, if he survived he would never heal from the side effects if he took a huge shock, i hope it don't have to be something extreme, if so my best bet is going to be his bloodline, for a hybrid to have such a bure blood it's quite a shock even for me , let's hope I'm right, if he belongs to those Narcissistic Bastards the suffering will make him even stronger, it's depressing, all i can do is to wait and see , surprise me kid "

"I feel tired, protecting him here did consume a huge amount of energy, i think I'm gonna sleep again, i will wait for the next time we meet again. "

Then the man's head hung low, he closed his eyes, his crimson tall hair hanging down and drops of blood started echoing everywhere inside the palace even once in a while Breaking the eerie silence of this place
