¶ at Nasak's place ¶.
*** Sralee***.
The environment was peaceful and quiet, Nasak was asleep when suddenly Sralee trapped him in a trance.
† in Sralee realm †.
The surrounding was covered with thick mist, making the sky invincible. Nasak was lying down on the road, he was shivering due to cold, he joined his teeth together and began to slide them against each other, making an irritating sound. Suddenly from the mist, a chariot drove towards his direction and he was taken in by an unknown person.
Few minutes later Nasak regains consciousness and he sights a girl with a long hair, as she turns her back towards Nasak, she smiles at him and tries to hold him upright.
Then Nasak said to her.
“ where am i ”, in a weak tone with a confused look on his face.
Then she said to him, looking away from his direction.
“ we are in the lightening village ”, in a bold tone.
And Nasak said to himself.
“ the lightening village, how come i am in the lightening village, but it's foggy here the lightening village don't always have fog during the summer season, maybe its because we are in another direction ”.
And Nasak said to her.
“ where in the lightening village ”, with a suspicious look on his face.
And she replied him saying.
“ the dragon clan ”.
As Nasak heard this, he was lost in thoughts, he went on saying to himself.
“ this must be an illusion, the dragon clan was destroyed years ago, how come am here ”.
And Nasak thought out loud to her hearing.
“ something is wrong, am not suppose to be here, the dragon clan was destroyed years ago ”.
And as she heard Nasak saying those words she burst into laughter and placed her hands on his head and said to him.
“ I think you are dreaming, this clan still exist, it isn't destroyed yet ”.
Then she rose up with her back view facing Nasak, she said to him.
“ we should better move, before the weather gets serious here ”.
She throws a coat at Nasak and said to him.
“ put it on, because we don't know how long it is going to be cold ”.
As she led the way Nasak follows her into the cold mist, as they kept going in, it became difficult for Nasak to see, suddenly he lost track of her and he became lost, as he was following a her trails he heard a flinch. And he stood still, observing the environment, when suddenly a figure jumped on top of him, Nasak throws the person down and began to run into the mist, as he stopped another figure jumps from nowhere and Nasak punched the figure, to his surprise the figure turned into water.
As he saw it, he said to himself.
“ is this an illusion ”.
While behind him was a more bigger and large figure, opening his hands.
An object was coming towards Nasak direction, his eyes opened wide in fear as the object passed his face, *swish*.
* Blood gushing sounds *.
Nasak slowly turns his back and he sights a figure behind him, the figure had a knife penetrated through his forehead, as he was about dashing out, the figure held him, when suddenly the girl kicked the figure. As the figure was slowly falling down it turns into water.
And she said to Nasak.
“ where were you, i was searching everywhere for you ”, in a serious tone.
And Nasak replied her saying.
“ forget about that, now we need to find a way out of here ”.
And she replied him.
“ we can't ”, with a worried tone and a destressed look on her face.
And Nasak replied her saying.
“ why ”.
And she went on saying.
“ they are water clones, they may not look alike but someone or something are summoning this clones, we need to get the source of these clones and stop it ”.
And Nasak stares at her, after she was done, he dashed into the mist.
She said out loud at the top of her voice.
“ what do you think you are doing ”, accompanied with an aggressive look on her face.
Nasak stops at an unknown destination and slowly looks around, as he was slowly walking backwards, he sights a manly figure standing on top of the river. He waved his hands up and suddenly figured men emanates from the water.
And Nasak dashed into him and eliminated his figures with just a blast he emanated from his finger, as the manly figure looks forward he could not see the source of the attack but behind him was Nasak, and Nasak knocks him out.
The mist slowly disappears and the girl sighted Nasak and ran to him.
Then she said to him.
“ nice work, i can't believe that you took care of him ”, she said in a bold tone.
And Nasak scratches his head and replied her with a smile on his face.
“ yeah, it wasn't that hard for me to take care of him ”.
And she bends down and tied up the man.
Then Nasak asked her.
“ so.... where is your clan ”.
And she points forward and said to him.
“ it's not that far ahead ”.
¶ at the dragon clan ¶.
>>>>>>>> Nasak's trance.
The environment was filled with people, the children were running around and playing, as the people of the clan sighted Nasak they ran towards him and points their spares at him, Nasak froze up and the girl opens her hands to protect Nasak from them.
She said to them in a high tone.
“ leave him, his with me ”.
And the men slowly gave way and Nasak followed her into a building.
Sitting on a chair was an old woman, she had gray hairs on her head, she wasn't wrinkled, she turns her back at them and the girl said to her bowing her head down, as Nasak saw her bowing her head, he did the same.
“ good day grand ma ”.
And Nasak said after her.
“ good day ma ”.
And she stood up and walked up to them and said to her.
“ who is he ”.
And she replied the old woman saying.
“ he is a lost boy i just found inside the mists ”, in a low tone with fear written all over her face.
And the old woman said to her again.
“ who is he ”, this time in a demanding tone.
And Nasak replied the old woman saying.
“ i am Nasak, i believe am not from around here, i am from here but am lost ”.
And the old woman looks at Nasak's eyes, this made Nasak scared.
She said to him.
“ you have to wait for the mist to slowly clear out, or else you might be killed or even worst ”.
She walks out on Nasak and said to the girl, with her side view facing the both of them.
“ take him to a tent outside, he can't be trusted to stay inside ”.
And she slowly walks away.
As Nasak heard this he was filled with rage and anger, you could tell through his eyebrows, how angry he was to hear the old woman alter those words to him.
★ few minutes later ★.
She was standing at the front of Nasak.
She said to him.
“ am sorry about my grandma's behavior towards you ”, in a worried tone.
She stretched her hand to Nasak and gives him a long cloth.
Then she went on saying.
“ it's going to be cold, use this to cover yourself from the cold ”.
As she was about walking out on Nasak.
Nasak said to her.
“ thanks for everything ”.
And she smiles and walked out on him.
Nasak bends down and enters his tent.
‡ few hours later ‡.
It was night and the cold blowing was intense, the heavy breeze blew towards Nasak tent, it was like hell on earth, the whistling sounds of the wind, when suddenly it stopped.
† the following morning †.
Nasak slowly opens his eyes and he came out from his tent, as he was about stretching his hands, a man ran in and forcely carried him to Grandma.
As Nasak landed on his feet, he saw men holding weapons and he heard the old woman's voice saying.
“ once again, we are threatened by this beast, we need all the arms we can get on deck ”.
And Nasak said to the old woman.
“ what are we up against ”.
And the old woman stared at him with an aggressive look on her face, suddenly the girl walked up to Nasak and said to him.
“ just come with me ”, whispering it to his hearing.
An Nasak slowly walks away from the scene, he followed her as she led the way, suddenly they stopped and she said to him.
And she said to Nasak.
“ what they are going to fight is a beast that have rampage our lands for centuries ”.
And Nasak said to her.
“ what beast ”.
She became quiet for a while before she went on saying.
“ we called it Sralee ”.
As Nasak heard the name he was shocked in fear, he said to himself.
“ what is going on, i think am in a trance, because the dragon clan doesn't exist anymore, i think there is a reason why am seeing all of this but why ”.
And the girl went on saying.
“ our people said the beasts were given to each clan during the reign of the gem makers, but after they left earth, they passed on the beast to the first founder of our clan, the person who named the clan after the beast so that we can never forget what it was ”.
And Nasak said to her in an eagered tone.
“ what is the name of the man ”.
And she replied him saying.
“ isik, he was the founder of our clan centuries ago ”.
And Nasak said to himself.
“ that is my surname, how come my generation knew about this beast and hide it from us ”.
And she said to him.
“ they are planning to seal it away for good ”.
And Nasak stared up and saw smoke ascending into the sky, he then ran off tracing the smoke, as she saw him running, she said to him.
“ where do you think you are going ”
And Nasak ran off without saying a word to her, getting to his destination he saw a man levitating and waving his hands, suddenly a beam appeared on the air and what ever he did formed a bright light that blinded Nasak from seeing what it was.
¶ in the real world ¶.
>>>>>>>> ★ at Nasak's place ★.
He slowly opens his eyes and said to himself.
“ so what i saw was just an illusion or a trance, i think Sralee was trying to show me something ”.
He rose up and stared at his reflection from the mirror and he inspired himself saying.
“ i promise myself that am going to put an end to all this rubbish going on, and i promise ”.
He forcefully punched the mirror, and as the mirror broke his blood slowly drips down from the mirror and he looks at his fists and clenched them.
Then he said to himself.
“ upon this wound, i pledge an oath of pain, i promise i will become a strong warrior to protect the people that i love ”.
¶ at Gacrio's place ¶
>>>>>>>>.
Gacrio was sitting outside looking at the uncompleted building at the front of him, when suddenly he heard a flinch and he turns his back just to see String standing at the front of him.
Gacrio said to him.
“ what are you doing here, i thought Fang killed you ”, he said with a surprise look on his face.
And String replied him saying.
“ i can't be killed because of a stupid trick ”.
And Gacrio replied him saying.
“ what stupid trick are you talking about ”.
And String turns his back at him and said.
“ where is Nasak ”.
And Gacrio replied him saying.
“ why do you think am going to tell you where he is ”.
And as String was walking closer to him, he sights his uncompleted building and said to Gacrio. Accompanied with a smirk.
“ it seems you were attacked by a friend of yours ”.
And Gacrio repositioned himself to attack String.
But String saw that Gacrio was badly wounded and he walks away from him and said to him.
“ you better warn Nasak, because a more dangerous being is emerging from the shadows ”.
As he teleported away from Gacrio presence, Gacrio thought to himself about what String said to him.
¶ At Blex dimension ¶.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Fang was turning the device side by side, view each angle. When he was done he said to Blex.
“ so this will help me extract the spirit animals from them ”.
And Blex replied him saying.
“ yes, but i don't think String still has Kiro inside of him ”.
As he was about completing his sentence Fang intruded and said to him.
“ why did you think i surpressed Kiro's mana inside of him ”.
And Blex looks at him, and Fang went on saying.
“ so that he won't ruin our plans by telling String, he's not dead yet his just in a state that his spiritual form his sealed making it difficult for him to communicate with String ”.
***String***.
String merged with the shadows, he was as steadily as a ninja, he jumps on top of a tree and looks down, as he looks forward only his eyes were seen.
And String said to himself.
“ after am done with Nasak i will make sure we deal with you Fang ”, in bold tone, accompanied with an aggressive look on his face.
★ few days later ★.
¶ Nasak's place ¶.
>>>>>.
Nasak was inside his house when he saw a figure approaching, he then came out from his house to his surprise it was Gacrio.
He was looking brighter than ever, as he sights Nasak his facial expression changed and Nasak could tell that something was wrong.
Nasak walks up to him with a smile on his face, as Gacrio came closer to him, he hugged Gacrio and said to him.
“ it have been long since we have ever met ”, in a weak tone.
And Gacrio replied him.
“ how many month exactly ”.
And Nasak said to him.
“ three or four months ago ”.
And Gacrio smiles as he looks at Nasak.
Gacrio said to him.
“ an old friend visited me ”.
Nasak thought to himself saying.
“ and who is that ”.
And Gacrio went on saying.
“ have you heard of String ”.

Nasak said to him in a surprise tone.
“ Str..in..g, b..u ..t, i thought he was dead ”, he stammers as this words came out of his mouth.
Gacrio said to him.
“ String isn't here to play this time, he is here to kill what remains of us and the team, i think it's real time you run away from here and go back to your village ”.
He said to Nasak in a bold tone with his eyes staring at his feet.
Nasak said to himself.
“ do you think am just going to run away like that, no way am going to stand up and face this guy ”.
And he went on saying to Gacrio.
“ don't worry yourself about that, i am going to take care of String ”.
He said in a high tone looking at Gacrio.
Then String watched Gacrio as he slowly walks out of the scene.
