Aldred held Derrick in his hands as he saw his blood dripping from his lips, while his hands trembled due to the blood. His whole arm was gone from existence. What was left of it was a bloody mess of tangled vessels. Blood covered the fabric of the clothing he was wearing; it was spreading from the bloody start to the dry end.
Kyra's eyes were dilated due to the bloodshed.
Aldred jolted his body time to time to wake him up, but he was always awake.
Indhra approached the mess and was horrified.
He is not a fighter like me or even Dunn! He didn't deserve this... Indhra held his chest in anticipation of someone else entering the area to help him heal.
An awakener can heal another awakener using their Human Mana! Indhra remembered the time when his father trained him. However, there was a catch here: Indhra was the Trix God of Armour, whose heavenly restriction blocked this method of healing. You have no Human Mana. That's the reality, accept it or not! Indhra's father commented.
As everything crumbled to Derrick's death, Dunn entered the area!
" Let me-" Dunn indirectly said to Indhra to scoot.
There is a chance that he has already lost too much blood, but... He kept his hand on top of Derrick's chest and closed his eyes as he started to meditate. I must not give up!
Indhra turned on his Mana vision as he saw the Mana movements inside Dunn's body.
Each person in this world has a gland in their brain which produces Human Mana. This gland is known as the Pituitary Gland! Only in awakeners, there are many vessels just like blood vessels connected to this gland, transporting Mana. Indhra remembered his father's words in another teaching session.
These Mana Vessels are connected to a person's sweat pores; hence, anyone can release Mana from their body through these pores. Mana in our body remains in a liquid form, but as soon as it comes into contact with air, it turns into a gaseous state. If that Mana again reaches a human, then it is again converted to liquid form and transferred to the Mana Vessels, and then travels to the whole body!
The person who is putting his Mana in someone else's body can move the Mana's position from the Mana vessels and control it in such a way that it can heal a person's wounds! That's how awakened doctors heal people! But there is a catch, you can't heal diseases, cancer, or even tumours the same way.
Indhra saw the movement of Dunn's mana from his palm to Derrick's heart to the Mana Vessels. Then it travelled to Derricks' sliced arm. Vapours formed in the wound as it started to heal and form a new arm.
" He is still unconscious, but he is alive!" Dunn said with no sign of emotion. He stood up to see all the other non-awakened warriors standing still with their jaws open. They were all in shock after seeing the Spector brothers lose their first battle!
" Well...now we have to deal with them!" Said Dunn with a serious tone.
" Only handicap them! No need to hurt them!" Indhra replied as he walked forward. " Aldred, Kyra! Go cover yourself somewhere!"

" Hojoi! Hojoi!" Hojoi slowly opened his eyes to see a blurry vision of his brother Hijoi's child form.
12 years ago-2124 AD
kaff...kaff...kaff!
Hojoi coughed up water while being drenched in pond water.
" Thank god!" Hijoi clapped his hands while tears formed in his eyes. " I thought...I thought you were going to die!" He said while sobbing, while swallowing the drool formed in his nasal passage.
" Uhh...Why would I die?" Hojoi calmly stood up beside the pond where he had sunk deep earlier. " Also! Can you stop crying? You're such a crybaby..." Hojoi said calmly while brushing his thick hair to dry it.
" I...I was just...caring about you!" Hijoi's teary eyes shone in front of Hojoi. Hojoi widened his vision, continuing with a series of chuckles.
Ha.ha.ha!
Hojoi laughed out loud while looking at his cute little younger brother!
" What's so funny!?" Hijoi puffed up his face to show his anger as the tears magically disappeared.
Hojoi waved his hands while saying," Your...Your face!" He continued laughing," It's just so funny!"
Hijoi gave him an angry look before saying," I am not going to talk with you from now on!" He turned his head right while folding his arms.
" Oh boy, I am so scared!" Hojoi gave a stern look.

" BOYS!"
" We're coming!" Hojoi shouted back at the voice coming from their house to the left of the blue pond.
" Let's do a race!" Hijoi said while his eyes shone like stars.
" You just now said that you're not going to talk with me from now on!" Hojoi chuckled.
" Well! Who comes first will get more pieces of cake!" Hijoi shouted as his legs started to move. He started to run with enthusiasm.
" Hey! Wait..." Hojoi shouted as he looked at the bucket of fish beside him. He sighed," That kid!" He picked up the bucket and started to run behind his younger brother.
" Ok...you won, kid!" Hojoi sighed as he panted inside his house.
It was a nice, small, cozy house, with only two rooms, one kitchen with a dining table, and the other being the hall with a nice sofa and a television in front of it, and a coffee table between them. The bathroom and toilet were outside his family's house.
" Stop calling me a kid!" Hijoi shouted while their mother and father placed a cake on the dining table.
Both of their eyes shone as they quickly sprinted at the cake while leaving the fish bucket behind.
The cake had two candles, one had the shape of '10,' and the other had the shape of '8.'
Their family was indeed poor. Hojoi's father worked as a restaurant cleaner while his mother was a housewife. His father had to take many loans to get a house, or else the family would be on the road. After all the hard work, his father could only afford one cake for both of his kids' birthdays. Yeah, both Hojoi and Hijoi's birthdays were the same, with a gap of two years.
" Well! I will get the most pieces!" Hijoi smirked while taking the knife in his hand. Hojoi replied with a 'fine' but with annoyance clearly visible in his tone.
" Well! Well, Hijoi! Let your older brother also cut the cake!" Their mother said with a calming smile. There were signs of hard work on her eyes.
Hijoi's smirk faded as he gave room for his older brother. Hojoi smiled as he held the knife with Hijoi and cut the cake seperating both the lit candles.
A few hours later...
Hojoi, while walking to the washroom after the party, heard something from his parents' room.
" Well, we shouldn't tell them about his identity, Laura!" Hojoi's father said with a deep and serious voice," Atleast until they are adults and are mature enough!"
" But...what if they awaken someday?" Laura asked.
He sighed," Then we must only explain to them about Mana and stuff, not about their royal blood, and how they are the future clan heads of the Spector clan!"
A few moments later...
Well, Hijoi behaved himself well! Hojoi wrote down all his thoughts in his diary.
And, the cake was so good! I know, it's not from the same standards, but it surely tasted good. I saw so many types of cakes, once I saw three layered one in a cake shop, but it sure was costly!
I also heard from my parents' room about Hijoi and me, they said about me being the leader of the Spector clan. Well, that's surprising since I didn't know that Spector was a clan's name. I always thought that it was just my family name! And also, they were talking about us being Royalty! I don't know! Maybe you know!
A few hours later...
" Mom, Dad! My older brother is going out to play in the woods!" Hijoi shouted while Hojoi opened the main door of their house.
" Come before dawn!" Their mom replied from the kitchen as both the kids ran out of their house.
A few moments later...
" One! Two! Three!" Hijoi shouted in the woods while he kept his eyes hidden by the stem of a tree, and Hojoi ran to hide.
Hojoi climbed on top of the tree and sat on a strong branch while he waited for Hijoi.
Hijoi, after counting till fifty, looked back and shouted," The seeker is coming!" He ran with excitement, and after searching for a few minutes, he looked up to see Hojoi lying on the branch.
" Got you!" He shouted with excitement while pushing the tree with his hands. Somehow, a red aura shot out of Hijoi's hand to the stem of the tree, causing it to tremble from the small explosion.
Hojoi couldn't control himself and fell to the ground, getting a bruise on his right arm.
" What the..." Hojoi shouted in pain. He just looked at Hijoi as tears of pain formed in his eyes.
" Uhh...Sorry!" Hijoi shouted while tears covered his eyes as he couldn't see his older brother in pain.
Hojoi sat on the ground in shock and just looked at Hijoi without any change in expression.
" How did you?" Hojoi questioned in shock, still staring at Hijoi.
" What do you...mean?"
" Ahh..." He scratched his head in pain," It's nothing!"
" Ok then! Let's play something else!" Hijoi started to sprint, leaving his brother behind.
" Hey! Wait!"
From far away, the Mana Vision of an awakener glared at the sight and pressed a button in his ear," They are Royalty!"
Dawn...
" We have to run! It's already dawn!" Hojoi shouted at Hijoi for ignoring their mother's instructions," Now mom is going to kill me because of you!" Both of them were sprinting to their house while the slowly rising moon covered their sight.
The nighttime arrived, but it was not usual. The moon was red, as if it were covered with the tears of hell.
Hojoi got a eary feeling but didn't say anything about it to Hijoi, but his heart rate was magically increasing. Hijoi was also feeling the same feeling as Hojoi, but he did comment about it," The air feels thick!"
Hojoi didn't reply; instead, he gave a stern look, a scared look.
They arrived at the house and looked at the surroundings for a few seconds, and then noticed something coming from the gap between the door and the floor of the entrance.
Blood? Hojoi recognised the liquid flowing out.
He quickly bashed into the door to open it.
His eyes widened at the scenery.
Three people, or to say three murderes stood on top of two dead bodies. hojoi could recognise those bodies; it was his parents' lifeless dead bodies!
He felt pain in his heart while looking at the scenery of the blood pond.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head as he slowly fell unconscious, and his vision got blurry.
He could see a few glimpses, but not the whole scene! He saw Hijoi looking back, while his eyes were turning to a flower. He had awakened.
In that moment, you saved me! Hojoi remembered as he closed his eyes.
He then opened them to see Hijoi's unconscious body in the cafe while Indhra and Dunn stared at the warriors.
We both made an oath then! He heard Hijoi's child voice, We will honour his name! We will honour Mr Mars' name!
His eyes opened as his Mana vision shone. A three-petal flower. A new petal got added as the flower symbol moved.
His body moved on its own. His legs shivered, but they still worked enough to let him stand up to stare directly at Dunn's soul.
He did that with my brother!? Huh!
Suddenly, a blast struck in the cafe. His Human and Nature Mana got combined and was released from his body in the form of gas.
That time! You saved me...
A dark blue, purpleish coloured Mana was released from his body as he looked at Dunn with killing intent.
Now! It's my time to save you, brother! He shouted to himself while covering himself with hatred!
The reawakening was successful!
