That night as Elias looked at the moon a thought came to his mind;
"Its time to test my best project" he said.
Swishhh
He flies towards the peculiar slums in the town of Silverfall in the western kingdom of Eldoria
At the very heart of the slums in the town , where hope was as rare as the cleanest water and shadows swallowed every dream alive, two siblings age 10 and 6 years respectively, Leon and his sister Kyle huddled together in the chilly night, their breathing shallow and their spirits all but doused. For a change, the night was uncommonly still, as if even the world held its breath for what was about to unfold. Holding a piece of bread Leon was comforting her sister.
"Her sis this is the only food we could find"
"But brother what about you"
"Don't worry we'll worry about that tomorrow"
"You've not eaten for three days brother"
(Sobs)
(Hugs)
Hugs his sister to comfort her. In his heart their was nothing but bitterness for the world ever since their parents died there's been nothing but struggling to survive in this harsh world.
(Sobbing)
Suddenly, in that heart touching moment , under the watchful gaze of a full moon, a silhouette in black descended from the sky. Svelte, his body seemed to defy gravity, like it was being held from an invisible string. His all-black outfit was uncommonly chic and glowed with bits of moonlight, further adding to his mystery and power.His long shadow appearing in front of him was dramatic, excluding an otherworldly presence, in their aspect It was as if he had stepped right out of the pages of some noir novel.
Leon's eyes, wide with a mix of awe and fear, staring up he whispered to his sister,
"there's someone here."
Before them now, with grace, landed Elias Hawke, the man who had yet to earn the title of "The Demon of Science." His keen eyes looked around the desolate surroundings, finally coming to rest on the frail forms of Leon and his sister. He knelt down, awesome and reassuring at one and the same time, and spoke with a voice which could speak volumes of secrets.
" I came here after sense a wave of a peculiar mana so it was you, You both have potential" Elias whispered,
his eyes locking onto Leon's.
(Shocked)
"What are you talking about?
"A potential that the world has yet to see. Come with me, and I will show you a path which you never dreamed possible."
"If I come with you will my sister ever cry again?"
"Of course that is if you work hard in the path I'm going to show you."
(Suspicion)
"And what would that path be?"
(Shocked )
Hmmm, I wanna have this kid cause he has monstrous potential but he's kinda stubborn but I can't blame him for it is life that made him this way.
" Path of power that nobody can look down on you ever again !"
"I will come with you if you promise not to hurt us ."
"Okay, I promise not to hurt you"
(Stands up)
With that, Elias extended his hand getting ready to pick up the two young kids saving them from their desolate fate. Leon and his sister, sensing power and conviction in this mysterious figure, clasped his hand and stepped into a future that would forever change the course of their lives.
Swishh swaaah
He returns to his secluded mountain where his quarters were.
He stood in his secluded mountain lab, the dim light of flickering mana stones casting eerie shadows upon the walls. In front of him lay , Leon who possessed an uncanny affinity with mana. The boy was the perfect candidate for his next experiment.
Ting,Ting
Test tubes could be heard in the lab.
Elias carefully prepared the nano machines. He had made quite a few in his chase of power, each one powered by a microscopic mana stone and enchanted with a spell that would siphon mana from the host when their power waned although that would after a few millennials. The intricate fluid like web of machines in the syringe like tube in his left hand shone with an otherworldly ghost light as he prepares to inject them into his body.
"Leon,"
Elias said
in a chilled, authoritative tone,
"this is something else, something beyond what you could have ever dreamed of. Rest assured, though, your potential will be magnified beyond your wildest imagination."
(Fearful)
Leon nodded, his eyes fearful wondering what was going to happen next . He trusted Elias, regardless not knowing him, but one thing he was sure was that this crazy man who plucked him out of obscurity was his ticket towards greatness, however.
"MWAHAHAHAHAHHA" laughed Elias
"its time".
