Chapter 3 - THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END.

Four years have passed in the abyss, Onir has been training his aura and using the sword that was crafted by his mother his also able to her mothers space element spells which is possible due to the fact that the sword is a roushin tool. a roushin tool is a tool which is imbued in it the roushin's energy which allows the holder to use a different element then his own, it requires alot of skills and energy to make one. Onir has mastered aura manipulation which allows the user to manipulate his or her aura to a shield or weapon or anything as long they have enough aura to achieve it, aura sensory the ability to sense all living and non living aura to a certain distance this skill depands on the aura users skills and the last one is aura enhancement which allows the user to enhance their physicall abilities. Mary is amazed by her sons growth in those very short years as she knowns this cage can not contain him.

Mary: "Onir come here" 

Onir stops trainning and walks to her mother to listen to her

Mary: "you should stop trainning for now and start packing your things because tomorrow we are finding a way out of this damn pit whole"

Onir: his eyes wide open with a smile on his face he responds to her mother "is it that time already"

Mary: yes it is 

As time goes by onir is packing his and mary's essentials, his mother whose meditating from a distance calls for him as he approaches his mother 

Mary: "sit down onir" Onir sits "before we start this journey of ours I want to give you something" she uses her roushin to open a pocket dimension a small sapphire colour whole opens up as she puts her hand through it and pulls out what seems to be a crest and throughs it at onir, onir catches it as he looks at it and sees a knight standing in a storm filled with lighting and thunder facing a dragon. "this is the crest of the stormheart family your father's side of the family it stands for courage, a knight faced with any obsticale should not cowar in fear a knight should stand with courage to face the evils in the darkness"

Onir: he faces the down and clutches his fists "why are you giving it to me now, why not wait until we get out" 

Mary: am just giving it to you incase i forget 

Onir: Promise to me that will make it out together

Mary: I promise that i'll always be by your side.

Onir: with eyes full of sorrow he hugs his mother as tears fall from his sight 

Mary: oh onir how am i gonna let you out of my sight if you keep acting like this.

Onir is fully prepared to leave as he walks to his mother as he notices she is gathering aura to what seems to be a spell in a meditating pose at the water fall a feeling of being targeted rushes in him as his whole body is in shock as he looks at the sealed entry trying to walk to the entry his mother shouts at him "i wouldn't go there if i was you" onir stands there confused at the words spoken by his mother he faces her and ask "i feel like something is coming" before he finishes his sentence the sealed entry explodes as a huge wind blows in the sanctuary as onir stands in shock at the entry to see who or what destroyed the entry his mother calls for him as she is still meditating un-fazed with the matter at hand. 

Mary: Onir listen carefully for what am about to say cause am not gonna repeat it twice, take this as a final test before we leave I need you to keep them at bay long enough for me to finish this spell. 

Onir: what this is not a test and how long do you want me to keep them at bay, whatever they are

Mary: are whinning right now and you call your self a storm heart 

Onir: huh let me show you 

As the dust vanishes onir sees a group of skeleton looking figures with scarlet eyes wearing rusted knight armour holding swords,harmmers, axes and spears all of them facing onir.

Onir: one,two,three,five,eight,fifteen, their too many mother are you sure this is a test

Mary: go and make me proud onir

Onir: huh okay 

as the skeleton knights see onir and his mother they start marching at them as onir sees this he pulls out his sword and moves forwad to face them with his legs shaking he remembers his mothers words "a knight faced with any obsticale should not cowar in fear a knight should stand with courage to face the evils in the darkness" his legs stop shaking takes one breath as his aura engulfs his body and the skeletons are nine feet away Onir vanishes into thin air as the skeleton army stops in confusion to look were the boy they were facing has gone too Mary can be seen smirking as she says "his ready" one by one of the skeleton knights start to be cut down, the skeleton army start to fright and run away until a tall skeleton knight with better looking black armour entered the sanctuary with just a glance the skeleton charge to what would seem as nothing as it swang it's sword as once it was nothing but onir materializes out of nowhere as he blocks the attak with his sword and moves back to create space between them.

Mary: be careful thats a general, his a little bit stronger than a normal skeleton knight 

Onir: "a little bit true, stronger false." while he slowly walks towards the general skeleton

onir and the skeleton general start trading attacks each blocking and attacking the other as it would seem they were equals but it was ended when onir smiled at the general knight while fighting, it made the skeleton knight feel uneasy that it quickly moved back to create some space from onir but that was the mistake he made when he realised that onir wasn't infront of him, the skeleton knight wanted to turn and look for where he might be but his vision started to go upside down it caused him to be confused at first but came to understand his situation when he saw his headless body from the ground as the skeleton knight's saw that the strongest amoung them was beheaded so simple they started to feel a sense of fear that they couldn't understand as they conqured this underground labriyth in their years but have never met such a beast in their life time, Onir stands infront the skeleton army with his sword in one hand as his eyes scream out death, the skeleton knights starts to cowar in fear as they retreat and Onir thinks to himself that he has won today's battle the atmosphere around the area starts change as black smoke and the smell of dead corpes start to fill up the area, a figure in a black rob levitates in the sanctuary.

Unknown: oh child of destiny, prophesized to vanquish the darkness here I come to you the monarch of darkness the devour of light.

Onir: blah blah you talk to much for someone whose about to die

Unknown: oh how am I going to die now child ?

Onir: "like this" onir runs towards the unknown figure and jumps towards the figure to cut it down but was pushed back by an invisible force, "huh what was that"

Unknown: "oh child born in the abyss, blinded by it, you are strong but not strong enough" three dark matter spears appear behind the figure "now die young one" the three spears plunge toward onir so fast that he can't react to them but was shielded by a blue shied.

Onir: huh am still alive

Mary: now that's enough for today it's mommy's turn now

Unknown: oh there was a mage here no wonder I never noticed this sanctuary

Mary: before we start this battle what are you?

Unknown: why does it matter ?

Mary: well I have in this pit hole for almost 12 years and am tired hearing my dum son's voice 

Onir: hey mom am right here

Unknown: a few seconds of silence pass by "hahahahaha true a life of isolation can be so tiresome let me introduce my self I am lord Andras the mornach of the dead and I welcome to join us

Mary: (basically his a lich who has the affinity to raise the dead nice) I am Mary autums but am sorry that I have to refuse your offer as me and my son are moving out of this pit hole.

Andras: "truly sad i was gonna make you my queen but don't worry you will make a perfect servant once your dead" summons more then three dark matter spears and throws them at mary but at the same time charges his skeleton army towards her

Mary: Mary blocks the attacks thrown by the lich with her shield "Onir you take care of the dead knights and I'll deal with the lich"

Onir: "I thought my test was over i get to rest little bit" Mary looks at onir in a serious and angry look "am just joking why always serious" Onir runs towards the dead knights 

As Onir goes to face the dead knights mary looks at the lich as it levitates above her "here goes nothing" she says as she throws her own spears at Andras as a face off between mary and Andras starts each one throwing spears at each other 

Andras: how long can you throw those spears before you run out of aura 

Mary: "long enough" as one of her spears hit the high walls of the labryth behind the lich causing rocks to fall at the lich making Andras lose focus "got you" Mary summons cube and traps Andas in it 

Andras: oh young one you think this can hold me 

Mary: "who said anything about holding you" the cube starts to form lines moving randomly across the cube "now execute" as the lines shine Andras is torn into pieces "that was too easy"

Andras: hahahhahaha since the great war I have never been bested by a human you are the first in a long time

Mary: as mary is in shock and disbelief "that was a direct attack you should be dead" as she looks in disbelief the shredded body of Andras start to come together and recover himself revealing his skeleton like body and scarlet eyes

Andras: I would have been dead if I was a normal lich dear but your facing the lord of darkness himself 

Mary: "I have seen you before" Mary remembers the vision she was shown by Pavo a few years back, she clutches her fists "no one is taking my baby from me" as she teleports behind the recovering lich unleashing a powerful bright blast at the lich 

The attack mary unleashed is strong enough to evaporate Andras but if she was a minute early maybe it would have worked but Andras points a finger at th blast as a black appears and starts to observe mary's attack as it leaves mary frozen in shock as Andras rushes towards Mary but mary puts up a shield to stop the lich from touchinf her as it will lead to death but Andras's aura is so powerfull that it broke mary's shield leading to mary being touched by the lich in a short second as Andras's hand is cut off by Onir as he grabs her mother and runs out the sanctuary away from the lich, Andras calls for his knights to block Onir's path but saw that his entire army was slayen by the boy,Onir is running but isn't fast enough as Andras is chasing him.

Mary: sweating from the close incounter from the lich"Onir my son you can't out run it"

Onir: what else can we do it's too strong

Mary: there is something I can do but you have to trust me 

Onir: my own mom asking me to trust her how can I refuse

Mary: coughs "okay give me your sword" onir hands her his sword "hope we don't teleport into a lava pit or worse

Onir: what !!!!!!!!!

Mary chants a spell while holding the sword as the sword starts to shine so bright it blinded Onir and Andras, after recovering from the bright light Andras is confused as Onir and his mother are no where to be seen "did she just teleport herself and the child out of here".

The sun rises at a cabin in the forest as an old mascular man with a with ears like a wolf, white beard and hair wearing a yukata with his sword as he goes to a huge blossom tree near the cabin, as he sits on his knees and pulls out his sword "am tired of this acursed life with nothing more but death and isolation" as his ready to end his life with his own sword but stopped as he sensed huge amount of aura forming in his vasinity "were is this energy coming from" as the wind starts to blow harder then before as a tornado forms a few meters away as a bright blue light appears with a boom sound while the oldman is hiding under the tree waiting for the wind to settle down as he hears a boy voice screaming "no no no someone please help me" the old man looks to find Onir laying on the ground not moving but screaming and crying as he looks at his mother's dying body, the oldman runs to the scene as mary calls out to him "oh stranger I know this is out of the blue but please heed this mothers call please take care of my stupid son please" with tears on mary's face looking at her son and sun rise behind him "atleast I got to see sun one more time" the light from her eyes fades, her breathing haults Onir crying louder then before as the old man stands there as this scene reminds him of a boy who left home promising his mother that he would be a soldier for the emperor but ended up becoming the reason his own mother being executed. The old man carried Onir into his cabin as he fainted due to the shock of loosing his mother. the next day comes with cloud covering the sky as we can see Onir covered in bandages sitting on a chair with the oldman standing besides him as they look at his mother's lifeless body.

Onir: were do the dead go Mr musashi

Musashi: they go to a better place kid

Onir: i want to go too, I want to join my mother

Musashi: Hmmm that's the sad part we all want to go there but we can't go until our time comes

Onir: then what should I do now my mother is gone and left me alone with nothing, I have no reason to live anymore

Musashi: Would she want you to die now ?

Onir: as a few moments of silence pass by "no, she wouldn't"

Musashi: live for your mother don't let her sacrifice be invein, live a life she would be proud of 

Onir: with tears coming down from his eyes " but It's soo hard "

Musashi: "you will manage" he sets mary's body on fire to cremate it 

Onir: you were right, we made it out togethere.

The boy born in the abyss made it to the surface but with a price that will leave a mark on his soul but what a awaits him in the surface world will make the boy born in darkness became a man who will shine brighter then the sun as he will lead a new era.
