It was the afternoon, and Seth was running with a horrified expression on his face on a large field that contained countless obstacles and training dummies. "Thally help me?!!."
Thally's eyes twitched and turned around to look at the blonde haired man chasing Seth whilst laughing. The man was large and robust, and there was a savage aura around him.
It was Emily's dad. Seth came to visit her with the Intentions of hanging out since it's been a month since they last met up together at her house and had some fun.
But her father was around, and upon seeing Seth, he brought him to the training grounds where Emily was doing some target practice by creating water arrows and bullets, he didn't get a chance to say hello to Emily because her dad told him to run around the field ten times.
Hearing that, he had an urge to go back home, but her father merely chuckled and said if he cought up to him, he would have to fight him instead and Seth would rather not do that, now they were in this situation and Thally scratched her face and said. "Just do ten laps around the field."
Seth refuted immediately. "This field is almost as large as a football field?!!."
Thally rolled her eyes and just returned back to his body, leaving Seth to suffer alone.
After a while of running and screaming, Set could be seen on the floor sweating with his chest rising up and down, Emily came over and looked down at his face with a smile on her face. "Hey Seth, sorry about my dad."
He could see the flash in her blue eyes and knew she was utterly amused by the entire situation, Seth sighed. "You enjoyed that.."
Emily chuckled and helped him up. "Well, I kinda did, and besides exercise good for the body."
Seths shoulders dropped. "I know....and speaking about exercises, I thought I could come here to train with you, I want to know what I could do now that I have powers."
Emily's dad was currently at the side, giving them their privacy, but his ears perked up when he heard Williams kid now has his abilities... but thay shouldn't be possible, William and Hellen aren't in town, so they definitely do not know their child's situation...should he call them....nah, maybe events from 'that' incident weren't truly as they seem...maybe.
Emily's dad was blond and had a muscular physique. He had red eyes, different from Emily's blue ones, and he had an aura of dominance around him. He grinned when he saw his daughter interacting with Williams kid and said. "I wonder if William would allow am arrange marriage with his son and my little Emilia"
Emily suddenly froze, and then her face heated up and immediately glared at her father. She raised her arm, and the grass underneath her seemed to wither as the moisture in it was sudden sucked dry, a ball of water appeared above her but it was very small, a light glowd in Emily's raised arm and the ball of water began to expand until it was as large as a boulder. "Dad, stop teasing!!"
She threw the large ball of water at her father with an embarrassed expression on her face. Her dad chuckled and quickly dodged the ball of water before it could land on him.
Seth was silent. He didn't comment at all since he didn't want to be involved in whatever that was, but he did get embarrassed a little.
'Cute.'
Thally said sweetly in his mind, which made him a bit more embarrassed. Is this revenge for calling her cute all these times?. Who knows the parasite surely can't be that petty, right?
He sighed and didn't think much of Emily's dad's little tease.
Currently, Emily was chasing her dad while telling him to stop teasing her. She would also occasionally throw balls of water at him.
After a while, Emily's dad left the training grounds while teasing a flushed Emily, Seth was cross-legged, playing with Thally a bit, and by play, he meant taunting Thally at the moment he was using his finger to rub her head gently, Thally was annoyed by it but she was not going to complain since it did feel a little bit comfortable.
Emily finally arrived in front of Seth. Her training clothes were wet from all the water fighting, and her wet hair made her look like a teenager who had just finished jumping into a lake unsupervised.
She snapped her fingers, and all the moisture on her clothed and body fell onto the grass. She looked down at Seth and finally spoke to him. "Please don't mind my dad as you know he is always like that."
Seth chuckled and stopped running Thally's head. "Yeah, but you know if my dad heard what your dad said, they may try to come together and just tease us both."
As they both thought of that, they shuddered, Thally got off from Seths shoulder, and walked towards Emily's foot. Emily looked down at Thally and took her and brought her in front of her eyes. "You're really small."
Thally shrugged. "I'm a parasite, and I was a seed when I merged with Seth, I could increase my size, but that will waste both our energy." She crossed her arms and then continued. "We came here because Seth wants to test if we can do anything at all and wants to train with you."
Hearing Thally's words, her eyes flashed with delight. She turned towards seth with a smile on her face. "You want me to train you?."
Seths lips twitched. He wanted to train with her not to be trained by her, but to see a bit of excitement in her eyes made him reluctant not to agree with her. "Yeah, as you know, I have no abilities unlike the rest of the 99% of the population, but Thally has fused with me essentially turning her into a parasite in which we both have a mutual relationship that benefits us both but I do not know what these benefits are for both me and her."
Emily dropped Thally on Seths shoulder and then said. "What are we waiting for then? Stand up, and let's find out."
Seth did as she said and stood up.
The two were about to train, but somewhere, in another galaxy, a large war was happening.
The star race, aliens who are advanced in technology and can harness the power of stars in their bodies, were currently in a war to take control of a lower species planet they found, the inhabitants were given an option to submit so no bloodshed would happen but alas this race was a prideful one.
This race they were fighting were called the Avidects, aliens who can harness the powers of the earth, any elements that belong to the earth is owned by the.,gems, stones, metals and other precious minerals.
In this world, there was only one supreme king overseeing the entire planet, and their technology was not advanced. They were more...traditional and territorial. The king of their race was currently making preparations for someone truly precious to leave the planet as he knew they could not win this war.
The king had large earthy wings behind him, and his hair was brown coupled by his eyes. He looked almost like a human. He sighed as he touched a large crystal egg. "Only one of us can survive."
The king muttered under his breath. These were not just empty words. What he said was the truth, the Avidects were a strong race, but they had a crucial weakness. They could not create their earth, nor could they be far away from it, but the person in this egg was special. The person does not have the inherent weakness of this race nor its limitation. The Avidects knew this was Atavism as only the ancestors from ancient times would be able to do it. Either way....they could end this war by simply surrendering, but everyone in their race was prideful, and they would rather die than be enslaved.
The Avidect king walked out of the secret room under his castle and went outside, flying above and straight towards the battlefield filled with countless screams and the blood of the fallen slowly sinking into the earth.
Back at Emily's house, Seth was doing a few exercises with her for the last two hours, and now he was meditating to try and control his powers, but he complained it wouldn't work.
Seth's legs were crossed as he sighed. "Is this really going to help me."
Emily was in front of him also with her legs crossed. "Of course, first you have to sense the energy in your body and try to manipulate it to either take control, Augment, or create. For example, I can drain water from anything that contains water, humans, beasts, plants, and other water-based things. I can also create water using my energy, and I have been practising at trying to turn my body into water, but it's very hard, I can be considered attaining the level of an A-Rank ability user."
Seth grumbled at her words. The only reason she was able to do that was because she had her abilities since from a young age, and she was a part of one of the main 13 families that ruled the world...well Seth was also a member of one of the main families but there were only from his mom's family and William his father can be considered a strategic person to the entirety of earth.
Thinking about his distant cousins and aunts, Seth felt like he was beginning to obtain a headache, so he just did as Emily said and closed his eyes to meditate.
So, now what?. Was he supposed to think of something or just stay like this until he fell asleep, we'll he might as well try envisioning something to try to keep himself occupied.
He let go of his imagination, and Seth began to envision so something.
A tree, yes, he was envisioning being a tree, a large tree that was not attached to a planet, but its roots seemed to pierced through countless ones. The roots didn't stop and piercing through planets, but even stars and large blackholed.
The tree on the leaves was a vibrant green, and one would gain a faint sense of submission from them. The tree had a large hole in the middle, and the sounds of beating could be heard where the roots touched and where they ended, the tree rustled in the empty void of space despite the nonexistent wind.
The tree was large, it was magnificent, it stood above all hierarchy of life, and it has transcended life and death the tree was endless and even if it did get destroyed it shall only return in a newer form, if you killed the tree it would turn into a weed, a weed that eats of others and devours their life until it reaches it's original form.
Unknown to seth, outside his mind, the grass underneath him seemed to wither before being replaced by small stalks that had a single bud on them, his hair was also turning into a leafy brown and roots were growing out from his legs and were digging into the ground.
Thallly, who was startled by the sudden disruption in Seth's body, was furious. She could sense something else in her original seed located near seths heart. It annoyed and disgusted her, so she tore open her head and pulled out a small writhing weed within it. "Ew, ew, ew!!!, this thing has been inside me. Ugh, disgusting get away from our body?!"
When Thally ejected all pieces of the weed out of her seed and Seths body, they immediately disintegrated, and the only thing in their muddled intelligence was how a parasitic planet suddenly resisted their influence and even got rid of them.
The moment the weeds turned to ash, Seth envisioned the image changed to that of a single flower laid out in an open field of grass and dirt, the flower was entirety green and it happily absorbed the energy of the sun and the nutrients within the soil, the flower was contempt with what it had and was nit greedy for more.
The flower then soon twisted into a small girl with green hair and eyes who lay on the field of grass, she moved her hands and a few more flowers appeared under her making a flower bed for her to sleep in.
That was the last thing Seth saw before he was broken out of his envisioning. When he opened his eyes, he felt much more energetic than before. It was as if he recovered from a strange sickness.
Currently, the phenomenon that was happening to him earlier was gone, so he didn't find anything suspicious upon waking up except Emily was also lost in her meditation
Thally appeared at the top of his head, laying down on his hair and said. "Seeeth, feed me, please."
Hearing the command from the little parasite, he took out a small container from his pocket whic carried four large insects thay were enough to satiate her for the entire day, he took out a grasshopper and gave it to her, he could hear her already starting to munch on it.
