Was my wish fulfilled? yes, heaven has listened to my wish and provided me with abundance but why am I sad? why? Nyaka, was all along the child of prophecy, the hero of this story. A child from dumpster, blessed by heaven to defy destiny and soon will become the strongest slayer?
Nyaka was bestowed with the yellow light, I told you there would be two Zen affinity rankers in this test. I admit, even though Nyaka was my precious family, the flame of envy rose in me. I was jealous and bitter. I simultaneously blamed my destiny and blessed her. I was the one who inspired Nyaka to become a slayer, I was the one who was most passionate about it, I was the one who always dreamt of it, Nyaka just followed me. So why? Why has heaven abandoned me? not only did I not even have any light but to worsen my disgrace, Nyaka was blessed with Zen affinity. Infuriated by my becoming, I cursed the gods as I watched Nyaka steal all my glory and talent.
" Another Zen!!!" Stormed the senior out of his chair and he turned around to find Master Wull smiling. " Greetings, Master Wull, we have another Zen affinity " quickly he bowed.
" This is a sign from heaven " declared Master Wull.
" a sign from heaven? more like a mockery from heaven to my fate" I thought to myself.
" What is your name, child?" asked Master Wull approaching her.
" Nyaka Ell Zord " replied Nyaka humbly by bowing down.
" Nyaka, heavens has favoured you. With such gifts, you are meant for great things " He smiled gently and patted on her shoulder.
Nyaka came running and looked at me with pity. " Don't look at me like that, It's disgusting " I said.
" Lan, don't give up " She said with such kindness in her voice that I almost felt assured that everything will be alright.
" How can you still say that? I have no magic affinity, it means I won't be selected while you would be drafted into Hunter class" I became so spiteful, in an attempt to make her feel guilty for stealing all my destiny.
" Still, I know you, what you had gone through and what you are capable of '' She replied. " No one here knows of your gift, of your tenancity, of your hunger. So don't give up "
"Whatever, I will deal with whatever is coming my way. Congratulation, you are the child of prophecy now "
" You made it sound like a boring job," she sighed.
" Be more excited, Nyaka. This is something that happens only to the rarest of people, only to selected candidates of gods and you are one of them " I said, reminding her of what she had become.
"I know, I still can't believe it. I was never keen on becoming a slayer like you, I just wanted to go wherever you go, to be a part of your dream. I feel like gods have punished me for taking your dream lightly, I was suddenly tasked with the greatest of powers and I know with great powers comes great responsibility, now I can't no longer hide behind you with a gift like this, right? I have to become someone amazing so that you can be proud of. " She blurted out her thoughts with such clarity as if she had figured out everything of her future. And I never knew Nyaka saw things like that, I felt kind of bad now that with a single perspective I tried to piece the puzzle. Nyaka as suspected, she must be an angel.
" Good for you, even if I don't become the strongest slayer, you have to become one of the legendary slayers. " I said.
" so you haven't given up? I knew it ! " her eyes glimmering with joy.
" Of course not, I still intend to become a slayer somehow " I responded bravely.
There was another revelation left to be told. Remember the another interesting figure I told you about but haven't specified any details? a boy just like me, not from B-12, but the same environment, I could smell from his appearance, torn cloak, dirty face and scars, from one glance you could tell, he was someone who overcame many hardships along the way here. Unlike us, he came alone. There was another prophecy which we didn't know about, a bigger prophecy foretold by the old witch of Inner Sanctuary, who lived for hundred of years and every prediction she made has impacted the history of Phoenix kingdom. Annngad, the old witch was what they called her or sometimes called as Hag of white mist. And the prophecy was that the reincarnation of Kalaz would appear on this day, who is Kalaz? Kalaz was the mortal son of the god Azark, the god who imbued magic onto this world so that mankind can have a chance to defend themselves against the varaes( monsters ). Kalaz descended onto this world one thousand years ago and became the first monster slayer as well as the first true king of Phoenix kingdom. Kalaz divine power was godly, stories have that Kalaz had command over magic and every magic spell known so far today is the creation of his divine powers. His magic vessel was infinite and he was given the authority to command magic at his will. Zen affinity however amazing it is, the authority to command magic looms above everything.
Suddenly, some prominent grandmaster slayers gathered in the hall, as if they knew the revelation was finally to pour upon the world. White light continued to shine from the runes for the last ten students and finally it was the boy's turn, was he the one of their great prophecy? At that time I didn't know there was still a last revelation that would deal the final blow to my spirit. I was just curious why the grandmasters were suddenly gathering at the pavilion, were they there to inaugurate the failure of my revelation or the emergence of two zen affinity? I could hardly tell. However, you must be curious what light will come out if someone is higher than Zen affinity? Well let's find out.
He walked up to the pavilion, touched the stone and for a moment I thought he would end up just like me, a failure to the core, a mockery from heaven, will he become a laughing stock ? I was praying for him not to end up like me and my prayers worked, if I pray for someone to receive some blessing, heaven will just grant them with abundance. So I prayed.
At first the runes glowed white, the grandmasters were mummering among themselves, and the white light changed colour to green and gradually to blue, now everyone gaped in wonder, excitement and wonder rose in the hall. From green it shifted to blue and to yellow. The stone only measures the capacity of one's magic realm, however, as I said before Kalaz has no limitation to magic capacity and he can command magic at will. Undoubtedly, this boy, whose name was still unknown, had infinite magic realm but the stone can only measured up to Zen affinity. By now, all the grandmasters who have assembled in the hall were rejoicing in joy and amazement. Dragon Horn academy has literally recruited Kalaz as their student, what better future was there for this academy??
" Attention, Everyone ! '' shouted one of the grandmasters. " Today is the day of history, this day will be marked as a great significance to the history of Pheonix kingdom. Everyone here present is now a part of this great reckoning, you have witnessed something which you will treasure for the rest of your life, etch this day as an inspiration in your life and work hard to become the best slayer so that you can protect as many lives as possible."
" This boy " the grandmaster walked up to him and declared " is the child of prophecy foretold by the great seer of Inner sanctuary. He is the reincarnation of Kalaz, the first king of Phoenix kingdom."
I could see that the boy was as confused as me, I was asking myself " child of prophecy? reincarnation of Kalaz? was it because I prayed?" I was confused. " Reincarnation of Kalaz?" I repeated.
" Lan, we have witnessed something extraordinary, " Nayka replied.
Jeral on the other hand was glaring and I could bet he was cursing in his mind, that someone who looked like me stole his limelight and by this time, the emergence of Zen affinity also seemed secondary. Everyone had already forgotten about it.
" Your name, boy?, " the grandmaster asked.
" Werem Ell Zord, " was he said. I swear I heard the name correctly.
" Nyaka, do you hear that? he is Ell Zord!! you know what this mean?," I almost screamed at her face.
Nyaka was already in shock, her eyes were as wide as the full moon and she replied in the most subtle voice that I could hardly hear. " brother? ".
The alpha was born on this day and a death also occurred at the same time in me.
