《Even the heavens will shudder》chapter 2 : Ambush and possession
Advertisement
The carriage began to move further away from the village, Lucius heart was filled with rage, he remembered what his uncle told him, he then looked outside from the window, and he saw the village entrance, the guards and the several buildings gradually becoming small.
the village was big it’s understandable because the clan had ten thousand members , his uncle was waving his hand to say goodbye, that was then that he was aware that he will be separated from him, he stared at him from afar then he yelled.
“No matter what happened you are always my uncle Alder!!! I will never forget you “
Tears were flowing from Lucius eyes.
Alderman was moved by the words of Lucius and began also to be filled with hatred toward the clan lord he never forgot that night when he killed the former lord and his wife.
Garlan and the father of Lucius Robert were half brothers, since young age they had a childhood friend the mother of Lucius Anna, Garlan was deep inside jealous of Robert because he was the heir of the clan and Anna was in love with him , he never liked him he was always better than him in martial arts and studies , he deeply resented him for many years but Robert was not aware , the day that Robert became the clan leader and married Anna finally arrived at that time Garlan was filled with immeasurable hatred and jealousy , when he heard that Anna was pregnant he hated Robert even more.
[What really happened in the past]
In a secret room in the village Garlan was plotting with another black robbed man, the eyes of the black robbed man were terrifying.
“If she isn’t mine so be it but she will be never in anyone possession!! “
“Garlan I made what you need but from now on I don’t owe you anything if you contact me again I will kill you “(black robbed man)
Garlan was frightened.
“Of course sir I sincerely thank you for helping me “
Garlan took a small bottle from the black robbed man and headed toward Robert place, at that time Lucius was already 6 month old, Robert was never suspicious of him so he welcomed him.
“Brother thank you for receiving me I came to congratulate you “(Garlan)
Robert reached the war fiend class at the age of twenty four so he was labeled a genius.
“hahah little brother thank you “(Robert)
“I came with a small gift hahah” (Garlan)
“Oh what is it? “ (Robert)
“A hundred years age bottle of wine!”(Garlan)
“Oh great gift you know that I like wine “(Robert)
The two of them were alone in a room chatting, Garlan was smirking because Robert drank several glasses of the wine he gave to him.
“Little brother why are you not drinking?”(Robert)
“Oh hahaha because this thing is not a normal wine “(Garlan)
Robert paused for a moment looking at his brother
“hmm? What do you mean?”(Robert)
“ku ku ku …what do I mean ? I mean that you will die!!! “(Garlan)
The small bottle that he took from the black robbed man was a powerful poison created by a master alchemist, he then mixed it with the wine that he gave to Robert.

Robert hearing what he said wanted to speak but then a painful sensation was felt in his heart, and he slowly stopped, there was shock and disbelief in the eyes of Robert when he died.
“hahaha finally I killed you , I hated you from the first time I saw you this poison was created by a rank five alchemist no war fiend even in the last levels can resist it look at your pitiful corpse “(Garlan)
Garlan continued to laugh then he killed the two guards in front if the door room to not raise any useless suspicion.
Several months after the death of Robert and the uproar in the clan the culprit was never found, Anna his wife was a very beautiful woman she was like a fairy, red haired and from her was emanating an elegant aura, but after all these months she couldn’t take it and ended her life but before doing it she apologized to the 1 year old Lucius.
“My son I’m sorry for doing this, I’m sorry but I can’t live without your father I can’t take the pain of losing him I’m sorry …” (Anna)
Alderman the servant of the couple knew that Garlan was the one who killed Robert and led his wife to suicide but he didn’t have the ability to do anything so he at least saved their son and pleaded the new Lord Garlan to spare him, Garlan didn’t have any interest in the boy so he ignored him but in all the years that passed he realized that when he see the boy he was reminded of what he did so on the twelve year he dicided to banish him even if he was a weak and frail boy .
Returning to the present Alderman remembered all that happened and he was saddened at what had happened to Lucius even more he thought that the boy was too pitiful he didn’t do anything and his parents cruelly died and he even was banished.
(Too pitiful this boy I hope that he lives in safety) thought Alderman
Meanwhile Lucius in the carriage took the letter that Aldrman gave him from the bag, he opened it
, a map and paper with words on it was inside , he took a look at the map and saw that the place he was going to is one of the five big cities of Efrea ‘ Noria’ he saw that it was very detailed and cleanly drawn , then he took a look at the other paper and began to read.
To my brat
I know that you are confused and sad but don’t worry the place you will go to is one of my old friends he is a blacksmith he has no children so he will accept you, and he is a nice old man don’t worry, Lucius for what happened to your parents I’ll try to find a way to avenge them but don’t worry for me your uncle is not weak hahaha, alright I sincerely hope that you will be happy if the heavens decide it then we will meet again
Your old uncle Alderman.
“Uncle I’m ashamed, I can’t help you I’m too ashamed of myself sob …sob “(Lucius)

After several hours the carriage reached a forest and was already mid way to the city Noria, the forest was dense with many kinds of vegetation, Lucius was calmly sitting in the back when suddenly two shadows appeared in front of the carriage that stopped abruptly
“Who are you?”
The driver of the carriage spoke he was an old man with short hair and droopy eyes but the two persons wearing black clothes and hiding their faces didn’t speak, one of them made a movement with his arm, a knife appeared and was thrown at an alarming speed, the next moment a yell was heard , it was the old man a knife was stuck on his forehead and blood splattered on the carriage , Lucius when he looked outside was shocked and scared , so he quickly left the carriage and fled with all the speed he can muster .
“oy oy kid … do you think you can flee from us ? … hahaha we were ordered to dispose of you , hey go from the other side “
“Yes!”
Lucius when he heard them was further scared, so he ran for his life, he entered the forest, this forest was named’ the silent woods ‘it is named like this because there is no magical beasts nor animals inside it, Lucius then ran several meters but due to his weak body he was quickly tired and hide behind bushes .
The two black clothed men also penetrated inside the forest, they were two level 4 warriors so with their speed they quickly caught up to the position of Lucius but they didn’t locate him .
“Where is he this little rabbit, he can’t go too far so he probably is near us hiding, we will search this area “(one of the black clothed men)
Lucius heard them and he was startled, he tried to be as silent as possible for them to not find him, but alas he was too scared and made a sound that immediately alarmed them
“hahahaha little rabbit you are there , hey he’s there go kill him “
Lucius stood up and ran .
Sfx (swoosh)
But a flying knife pierced his shoulder, the pain made him loose focus and stumble , he fell on the ground unconscious , the two black clothed men in a hurry walked to verify his state .
“Hmm what is this I swear that i hit his shoulder why is it stuck on his neck “
“Strange but he is not breathing we did our job “
“Humph! Let’s go report to the higher ups “
The two of them then departed, after a few hours they walked in the odein village it was rather clear that it was the clan who wanted to kill him, who knew him outside the village, no one.
In a room in the main house of the clan Garlan was sitting on chair writing something, a servant then knocked on the door.
“You can enter “
The servant then entered the room.
“My lord I came to report “(servant)
“Hmm speak “(Garlan)
“The two of them successfully killed him “(servent)
“Good I don’t need anyone to know that their trash son is from my clan… you can leave “(garlan)
“Yes my lord “(servent)
“hahaha that son of theirs was also reunited with them in hell ahahhahaha!!!!”(Garlan)
Garlan laughed like a madman alone in his room.
In the forest the supposedly killed Lucius was in fact not dead but alive , after the two assassin’s departed the knife vanished from his neck and returned to its initial position on the shoulder and the breathing was also felt , all of what they saw was an illusion .
“Hmm what happened was I’m?”(Lucius)
Lucius regained his consciousness, but the sharp pain on his shoulder can still be felt so he barely has the strength to stand up.
“That’s right those two men tried to kill me and killed that old man “(Lucius)
Lucius remembering the knife in the head of the old man driving the carriage and the brain matter that gushed out began to fell nauseous and vomited.
Suddenly a ball of red light appeared in front of him, it hovered like a firefly, Lucius when seeing the strange phenomenon panicked and retreated several steps but he stumbled on something another time and fell, when he touched the ground with his hands he felt something strange so he looked, below him was a strange stone in the form of a square and a circular hole was on it.
Lucius was feeling strange there were some weird inscriptions on the stone, it was like an unknown language, when he looked at them he felt dizzy, suddenly the ball of red light shot like lightening and entered inside the body of Lucius, he was startled but the next moment his body was trembling on the ground again and he felt that his mind was going to be crushed, his body stopped trembling but his eyes were closed this time, several minutes passed and he again opened his eyes and stood up but something about him was strange his hair and eyes changed color , his previously red hair and light green eyes changed to black and dark yellow eyes and his aura was emanating a tremendous pressure even the trees got broken from it.
“hahahaahahaha I finally found a body , I Leyak broke free from that dreadful prison hahahaha “
Lucius personality appearance and demeanor changed it was like he became another person
“Kid I thank you for releasing me, two thousand years I was imprisoned for Two thousand years!!! During that time I almost became crazy from boredom and now I’m finally fre!!!!!”
His scream could reach the heavens and some stones cracked from the intensity.
“Right I need to go it seems that this is the mortal world , curse you Bairon for imprisoning me I will take my revenge just you wait !“
Something shocking happened Lucius body began to float in the air
“Good it seems that I didn’t lose the totality of my powers “
Right at the time the changed black hair began to regain his red hair and the eyes began to switch from Dark yellow to light green
“Impossible this kid … how? … Did I fail the possession …no!! me fail ?how come this kid can resist ? ... “
Roarrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucius began to scream from pain and finally his hair and eyes regained their former color then he collapsed .
