Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Two Worlds apart

Back at Spectra City, Zack's Mother is seen seated at the balcony of their seven-story apartment, she wore a black night gown as from the gown her body's outline was seen as her curves couldn't be hidden and her fair white skin visible too.

She seemed to be in thought as she remembered something and she had Flash back of what had happened after meeting Zack in that state of his at the hospital after a battle for survival when the blue class Spatial crack disaster struck.

***

Ellora sits by Zack side as he lays on the hospital bed as he was in a coma and standing by the window side was the old man who had also rushed to Zack's Aid with his assistant but she could not be seen with him now.

"At first I thought Lloyd was just saying things until today when I saw an X-rank ability with my own eyes" the old man said with a smile visible on his face.

"But why would he awaken in such a dire situation" Ellora said as she caressed the face, of a sleeping Zack.

"Well I don't know how to explain, but what Lloyd your Father-in-law told me was that the awakening orb would not be able to detect and process what kind of ability he has" he said as he took a glance at Ellora who sat by Zack's side.

"And in the end, he awakened an X-rank ability which allows him to manipulate all the elements" She spoke as her eyes never left Zack's face.

"Although I have checked his ability with the special Orb your husband, Grey gave to me, I found out he had more than one ability, not just two but three!!!" he said as his voice carried an emotion of wonder.

"So, this is what it means to have a diamond talent" Ellora said in surprise as she looked at her son with eyes of a loving mother.

"Well his talent should have made it possible but this were the problem arises" the old man spoke with a sigh.

"What problem should that be Mr. Jacob?" Ellora asked him and we get to know his name.

"Well one of the ability, the name of the ability can't be deciphered even its rank" Mr,. Jacob said to her

"And the other says hidden ability, and unknown rank which I can't even comprehend what kind of ability he has, we just only know of the All Elemental manipulation that's all" he said with a sigh.

"You mean he has a hidden ability with an unknown rank and the other which we don't know the name and its rank, how can this be!!" Ellora said with shock as her eye's widened in disbelief as she heard his words.

"Ellora do you remember when Grey had asked for our help to get him and you out from your world after your father, Duke Vin Del had married you and Grey in secret, since he didn't what you live your life in an unhappy marriage with Prince Valine but instead spend your life in true happiness" He said to her and the mood on her face changed as sadness washed all over her.

"Yes, I remember" She responded in a low tone.

"During the run when we were been chased by the prince and his elite warriors of the kingdom, after you were stuck by an attack from a profound level mage as you protected My Son and that brought you to a near death state and Grey was forced to use something to bring you back which had a heavy price and then you were a few weeks pregnant" Mr. Jacob said in a somber mood

"You mean the Draconic gem heart?" She asked.

"Yes" He replied.

"What do you mean by this you have said" she was puzzled.

"What am saying is that the treasure contained the soul of a Draconic Being" He said as his demeanor became dead serious.

"It can't be" Ellora said in shock as fear gripped her as fear was seen on her face for the first time.

"So, what you are insinuating is that...." She could not finish her word as fear had held her

"That Zack's Hidden ability has something to do with the Draconic Gem heart" He dropped the bomb.

"This can't be, wont they be able to track my whereabouts if the hidden ability awakens or what if he loses control" Ellora said with fear.

"That's why Grey went through fire and water to acquire that pendent, because he told me that only the entity which resides in the crystal pendent would be able to suppress the Draconic entity" he pointed to the Pendent hanging around Zack's neck.

"I know your fears Ellora, you don't want their lives to be disrupted by things they know nothing about and your Father's people who won't let you go, that's is why I have to get Zack admitted into Bright Gold Academy, because there I can keep my eyes on him" Mr. Jacob spoke to Ellora.

"I appreciate your help Mr. Jacob for this, thank you so much" She appreciated him.

"No need to thank am doing what needs to be done, because if not of Lloyd I won't be standing here with you today and if not of you my son would have been dead long ago" he let out a light chuckle as he spoke.

"I just hope Father and Mother are all right, they would be happy to meet their grandchildren but with these circumstances surrounding me I guess it's not possible" She said with sadness as tears silently left her eyes.

"Knowing the kind of man your father is, he should be just fine" He said as he looked into the horizon and seeing the setting sun.

"this entity, did grey tell you what it was?" She asked him

"No" he answered.

"Well I have to get going, I don't have much time to spare, in three days he will receive a letter and in the meantime take care of him" Mr. Jacob said his words as he began walking towards the door and exiting the room leaving Ellora inside with an unconscious Zack.

***

Back to the present Zack's Mum sat as numerous thoughts crossed her mind.

"Zack my dear boy, no matter what will come your way I will always be there for you" She said with a firm look in her eyes.

And she took her gaze to the Sky as she could see a myriad of Stars hanging in the sky like dots as a sad feeling crept upon her.

"Grey just, where are you?" She Said as her eyes held the longing for someone to come back.

Far away in a place which did not feel like earth as it's landscape seem rather different as mountains and hills floated above the clouds and the place was filled with large rock formations crafted with time by nature and this rocks were covered in moss and they were huge trees towering towards the sky, which put many skyscrapers back on earth to shame and a battle field comes into view as the bodies of gigantic dragon like creatures and four bodies, their head either twisted or missing were littered on the field and the green earth was soaked with blood.

Hiding on rock edge beneath a bush was a man who had draconic features, his draconic eyes were wide with shock and dread as he stared at the place of battle.

"I can't believe he took out the four demon generals with a single slap!!" The man had an expression of shock etched on his face

"Who the hell is the human, humans aren't supposed to be strong, just who is he?"

 A man walks towards one of the gigantic dragon like creatures as it staggered backwards as it had deep gashes on its body and having scales all over its body and having long ears, a snout like that of dragon but standing on all fours and having a serpentine like tail covered in scales the difference in size between the man and creature was huge as the creature towered over him, but the man walked forward towards the creature with bravery and they was no ounce of fear in his eyes.

He glared at the creature with a deadly gaze as he approached the wounded beast, in his hand he held a giant sword which he held with ease and it felt like he wasn't even bothered by the size and weight of the blade. The blade was made with a metallic crystalline material which was red and black in color and the blade was covered in the blood of the beasts as the blood dripped from the tip of his blade.

Swinging his blade sideways, the fresh blood leaves his blade and staining the green grass below and the sun light reflects on the blade which gave off a reddish dark metallic luster as it reflected the sun's rays.

The beast growled in pain as the man approached it.

"No matter how many of you come my way, I will clear all you bastards out of my way" the man said as his voice carried no emotion.

The beast looked at the man with rage burning in its eyes and with a mighty draconic roar the beast charged at the man with a speed that didn't seem possible for its huge size.

"Hm, the futile struggle of a dying beast" the man spoke coldly as a deadly smirk curved on his lips and his body began to radiate with an incredible aura which was dark purple in color and his blade brimming with an immense amount of energy and power as a reddish energy swirled around his blade.

Taking a stance, he stood his ground as the draconic beast charged towards him like a raging mountain.

"Roars of Devastation" the man said silently and his deep blue eyes giving off a deadly vibe as they glowed and the energy around his blade and his aura increased, and the energy swirling around his blade wanting to be let free.

With a mighty upper swing of his blade, the energy around his blade busted fought like a raging beast as it had the mirage of a lion like beast and the air rippled fiercely as the attack surge forth in the shape of an arc.

When the beast saw this attack, it's face had an expression of shock, signifying intelligence, there was no time to evade or stop and the beast watched the attack rush forward towards it.

BOOM!

The ground rumble as the attack landed and dust clouds arose into the air after a few minutes the dust began to settle and the man walked towards were the attack had landed as the dust began to clear.

The scene before the man was a jaw dropping one, as only the half body of the draconic beast could be seen and the area around the beast charred and even a gigantic rock formation behind had been reduced to rubble as the beast eyes were devoid of life and its body charred

 "this human is definitely a monster, thank the gods am just here to scout, I have to tell the king about this, we can't mess with them, well the demons had just messed up" the man said as fear choked him.

The man stood as his dark shoulder length hair fluttered as the wind began to blow, his face in resemblance with Zack but he had beards and a pointed nose. He wore a technological armor suit which didn't look like what should belong to this world.

A man in a technological armor suit walked up to him from behind.

"Lord Grey, we have received intel that the blue wind dragon empire troops will be here in a few minutes" the man said with upmost respect as he bowed his head as he spoke and the man wore a technological armor suit and it had the insignia of the head of a roaring lion and an axe was hung at his back, made with a material unknown and pulsing with energy.

"That's great to know, what about my father?" the man who we now know his name as Grey asks the man.

"He is currently at the capital with his elite personals, meeting the dukes, counts, elite nobles and the king" the man replied sharply.

"The humans of this world have really gone through a lot in the hands of other races, but we will now correct that, find that artifact with the rich energy source and go home" Grey said as he looked at the man who had his head bowed down.

"Major raise your head up" he instructed the man

"Yes, my Lord" the Man obeyed.

"remember when I promised you all that you will see your families" he told the man

"Yes, my Lord, I do remember" The man replied.

"Well I will make sure I keep to that promise" Lord Grey said with a smile to the man.

"Be it whatever my Lord, I will fight by your side till the end" the man said as his eyes burned with firm determination in them and then Grey looked into the distance.

"Then get ready because that time is now" Grey said as in the distance a huge army of thousands charged and winged creatures could be seen and other beasts among the army.

Behind him and the man was an army of a thousand men all wearing technological armor suits and holding guns straight out of science fiction and weapons brimming with power and energy of all kinds and up above in the sky were two gigantic spaceships their silver hue gave off a luster in the sunlight as weapons of mass destruction were set in place and standing among the army were Mechs. The insignia of the head of a roaring lion was engraved on the ships, Mechs and the technological suits of the soldiers.

"Ellora just take patience I will be home soon" he said as he gazed towards the sky filled with floating hills and mountains creating a wonder of beauty.

Set apart in different worlds as both Husband and Wife looked up to the skies, in their eyes the longing to meet someone.
