Chapter 2:

Immortal

Everlasting Crown


when Jade opens her eyes she realize that her grounding had changed and that the heat she was feeling before was completly gone with Kier no longer in sight she looks to her right to see the balcony she was standing on just moments ago to then make sense of her location noticing the darkned sea water at  her left

she turns back to discover Kier walking over towards a group of people a bit far ahead of them his steps made no sound and his walk had a sinister feel to it . Jade followed him quietly 

when they came close to the two figures  ,the stranger girl suddenly run s off  hugging kier with her arms  when she notices Jade in the back the light brown colored hair girl swiftly pulls off  him with her smile still on her face she then speak s to him some uncomprehensive words  happy as the young girl  looked Jade wondered  if she just missheard those words

in fact Jade was still mefiant from the other unusual silver haired man who was still making his way to them walking gloriously as if he owned the place. he defenitly seemed like the proud type . handsome and confident, he had blue eyes like the sky  wearing a strange white and blue uniform covering his fit and strong figure. 

but still, Jade kept her attention to the sky looking out for the terror she witnessed earlier 

"hey Ray long time no see"as the man speaks his words with a smile and confidence obviously refering to Kier . Jade stood there confused as she did t understand the words of the man and thinking that she shouldn t interompt what looked like a reunion 

Kier didn t pay any care to the silver haired man as he looked back towards Jade inviting her to come closer , when she does he then speaks to her  :"Umena"

"hey are you ignoring me" goes the silvered spiky haired man  pissed off as he was watching Kier not responding to his call 

now jade head his words correctly 

the girl's then comes towards her and starts introducing herself to her politely"Hi my name is fey dont worry we are here to kill those things  that big guy you saw before is Duncan and that Idiot over there is Raad try not to look him in the eyes or you might catch his stupidity "

Jade Responds back with a shy voice"I am Jade nice to meet you" 

the silver haired was waving his hands trying to get Kier to notice him"Hey man it might not been long for you but for us it s been 25 long years can you at least say something back"

"lower your tone stone head  have  some respect or i swear you gone get some beating when we get back" Fey  was still reprimending him when Kier indifferently asks him "who are you ?"

Fey and Raad both went instantely silently shocked 

Raad "what you can t be sirious it s me raad how can you forget me "

Jade who didn t get what was going on and Fey who seemed deep in her thoughts  kept watching them silently as Raad kept spouting his words up in the air 

Raad: "Raad Raiden? your rival in the academy ?the heir of the Raiden clan? the most fastest strong and handsome man alive? huh doesn t rings a bell?" imbelievly stated as he didnt seemed to think that Kier wasnt able to recognise him  

suddenly a big enflamed flame commes from the sky landing right next to them cracking the ground beneath . it was the big man kneeling down towards Kier. Jade recognised him just from a glance as she saw the orange flames extenguishe from his arms and feet like it never was lit in the first place .his plating cloths and his dark skin all intact 

Duncun:"Greatings Leader i Duncun from the Carnage Division has come to escort you along  with the first special Division unit on order of lady ayana"

Kier looked at the man with a reminecing look as if he was recalling some past memories   "you are always the same as ever Duncan "but somehow Kier  dark eyes with no ounce of light in them paired with his cold sinister voice  didn t match his facial expresions at all  

Fey who was still deep in her thoughts look towards ray  .when Jade looked at her to seek some understanding of the situation  Raad pockets  started emiting a strange beeping sound ,Fey then came back to her sense again 

Raad then reaches for his pocket to pull out a small demi sphere blue gadget that he places on the palm of his hand when he clicks on top off it the beep sound stops  "hey kid what is it ?" 

a young boy voice comes out from the device "you have company "

"yeah no joke kiddo your too late .muscles here already took care of them but thanks for the useless info anyway"Raad stated with his arrogant air as he seemed still annoyed 

"Fey ,it s close and it s a bad one you need to get out of the area right now " the boy voice called

Fey "okay Aster,we are moving to the rendez vous location "

Raad went furious as he shouts to the device still in his hand"hey kid are ignoring me too respect your elders you 4 eyes nerd"

sudenly all of them but Jade went tense to then look in the Same direction Fey body shivered from terror you could sense the sudden fear that overcame her body just from her terrified expression Duncun frowned his eyebrows and finnaly stood on his feet , Raad surprisely pulled a sirious look that didn t match his caracter at all 

it was something bad indeed they felt it something Dark, Malicious and strong

"hey Kid did you clean up" Raad Firmly asked

"are you really asking me this it s done just hurry up and get to the link point "

Raad eyes didnt flinche as he was still looking towards the direction of the bad omen

Kier who didn t seem to be bothered by anything he then steped up to strech his hand a bit forward looking towards his standing .a colorous lighted circle started enlightning his area  immediatly after the others joined him on the expanding colored magic cirlce 

Jade looking at them boarding the light didn t know if she too should join she kept starring at Kier s turned back his mid long hair strands floating from the pressure emaning from the starnge spell she seemed lost and afraid knowing that they was leaving 

now that he found his companions Kier didn t need her anymore but she didnt help but think that he could have at least said something before leaving , she hoped for that at least ,maybe a mere jesture of a good bey 

but then as the light started shining Kier turns back towards her invinting her to take  his hand for a second time her eyes brightens and she starts walking ovaer to him instantively to take his hand

 the light circle kept getting brighter and Jade could no longer see much from the midst off it  when she rushes to come close enough not able to open her eyes because of the brightness she blindly take his still  hanging hand  she is then pulled into the strong colored light  

shorlty  Jade opens her eyes again to see herself on a big bridge the others already walking ahead of her they were in the middle of the city bridge that passed throw the canal but it was completly empty  something Jade thought was very strange no vehicules were passing even at that hour of the night there should have been some yet it was calm .

"Raad " called Fey as she looked behind her towards the sky

Raad"relax we wait for it here muscles head can take care of it don t worry"

Fey"aren t you supposed to help too morron"

"what are you talking about im here for protecting you only right big guy"Raad stated as he was giving her a weird smile while addressing Duncan who looked ready for whatever was comming for them 

a large growsome monsterous cry echoed trought out the bridge .his fist closed and arms fully pumped of heat Duncun steped up towards the direction of the creepy sound his brown eyes  started iluminating to an orange colored light and steam started comming out from his tall big body  his expression was of a violent angered warrior.

and from the dark sky it emerged and landed right in front of them .huge muscly dark violet skin and eyes it mouth full of sharp teeth like those of a shark no nose no clothing a beast in it self but what bringed fear the most were those huge devil horns ,the demon facing them was bigger enough to step on them with his bare big feet

Duncun let a steam of breath out of his mouth and nose preparing to battle the thing and then step up forward but then he see in front of him Kier already walking up to the demon

"Leader ? "he ask in a confused  tone

Fey and the others perplexedly kept watching him silently walking towards the demonic creature 

when he came close to the huge demon Kier looked small and thin compared to the gigantic horned monster. the demon beast was 3 times his size. looking at the thing only moving his mere eyes  Kier was calm composed and menacing 

Jade's heart was racing with fear her eyes were wide open and her throat started dehydrating when Fey saw her state she hesitated a bit to comfort trying to put her hand on her shoulder but instead chose not to as she gazed at Kier from afar.

 Raad who was running his hands through his hair to fix his hairstyle and Duncun whose arms were crossed didn't seem worried in the least 

 compared to that demon-like thing and the black violet aura leaking from it the difference was of another world a mere man against a monstrosity. the wide creature seemed to analyze him with its reddish violet eyes yet Kier gave  the thing a pitful look as if he was not afraid  at all

the demon then howled in his face a scream that shredded the air with its force till Kier s ears gushed with blood yet Kier still kept all his composure looking unwaved by the demon's scream he starred at it with his head fixed with his eyes upwards looking more menacing and threatening

angered the creature  throws  a big-fisted punch toward Kier the shock impact shredded and peeled the ground to then traveled towards the group behind him leaving 

as the others were covering their faces from the mist of the impact. Jade s heart was still racing, her face got paler, she was worried about Kier even before he went to face the hideous creature 

when the outcome was revealed  Fey and Jade had a surprised look on their face but  contrary to them Raad and Duncun weren t as surpised 

Kier had stoped the monster s attack with his bare hand looking at  it straigth to it s eyes not even flinching the demon was in furry

Raad"tch can he just get it done already" said as he taped his outfit with his hands to clean it from the dust propulsed from the impact

even when she saw that Kier was safe Jade still looked terrified  Fey then tried to calm her"hey it s okay you dont have to worry he is gone be fine"

yet Jade wasn t listening to Fey word nor Raads comments , her eyes fixated on kier ,she was in a panic stat the seeing of such a gruesome and discusting creature up this close made her lose all sense of reality and all she was thinking in that moment was Kier safety

Kier was still in contact with the creature when his nose started bleeding when he notices it the creature throws then another punch with it s other hand , Kier stops it too with his right the impact was still noisy ,powerful and unreal

the monster immediatly pulls his other hand out to throw again another punch to then be recieved by kiers

and before they know it the groupe  who was watching  an out of this world fight  started witnesing something that made even the two guys who were cool headed lose their composure 

"what .. the... hell" said Raad as slowly as his mouth could speak from the shocked expression that took his face in that moment 

Duncun serious face wavered,  while Fey and Jade shared the confusion about what was happening before their eyes

noise after noise, impact after impact, blow after blow 

a sequence of fists and impacts traveled through the air one punch faster than the previous one the monster was throwing his fist at Kier and Kier repelled it with another one and as they went on the multiple sets of punches became a shower of them till the ground started shaking and rumbling from those impacts the air cracked and sound undulations seemed to appear on each contact

Kier's clothes were ripped apart  his skin shredded and peeled off his bones, his muscle cracked and his bones  broke but he kept up with the speed and strength of the enormous demon who was getting more and more furious and destructive 

the waves of shock pushed back Fey and Jade as they covered their face with their arms holding into the ground with only their feet crouching 

when Jade tried peeking through her arms opening she realized Kier's body state, her mind went to think the obvious, Kier's movements became slower and weaker he could not keep up any longer 

 just when his arms failed him the devil's enormous punch hit him straight and made him go right through the ground 

"No!"Jade screamed out  her eyes wide open in terror, the tears were already streaming from her eyes she tried to run to him but Duncun with his big stature stopped her with a gest of his arm

Kier was not even visible anymore under the monster s fist. A hurl of triumph came from the demon's jaw as a  pleased expression started to appear on its disgusting head

when the thing removed its hand Kier's body was unveiled to be in a wreck all bones broken piercing his already blooded ruined skin his head crushed to bits, and his blood filled the hole in the ground where he was smashed in.

"NO!!" Jade pushed a helpless pained cry as she saw the gruesome .she crumbled to her feet her hand on her mouth eyes full of disappear Fey run to catch her from her fall when she came to her knees shocked and already losing all hope

right then she starts hearing the demons making silly and mocking sounds she moves her head up again to see then the atrocious thing laughing at Kier s doomed body her eyes went cold as she watches the demon celebration.

"Don t worry he is fine"  Fey kind words surprised Jade s ears as she look at the girl that was holding her hand unwavering by the events 

"Watch closely, this is rare sight" added Raad with a hint of excitement in his confident voice

when Jade took her attention to Kier another time she still saw his crushed skull in the ground yer realizing that the blood was gone his bones no longer broken. 

she saw it with her eyes wide open the skin regaining its previous form. his body was regenerating when Jade noticed a greenish-yellow aura that englobed his whole body 

the monster mocking laughter stopped as it saw Kier s body getting up slowly from its slumber like a vampire waking from its coffin.

when his levitating body was fully revealed  standing his feet  touching the ground his head then started regenerating from nothingness his jaw then his skull his nose, eyes, and skin followed then his dark wavy hair all to be met with a extremely rich and bright greenish and yellowish energy that surged from every corner of his body 

his pupils shined bright like candles in the darkest of places when he laid his eyes on the demoniac being it crawled back of fear and terror as if it was about to run off but could not move its cramped legs those huge muscled legs were clearly trembling of fear

Kier relaxed face yet threatening gaze stood out in the middle of the aura of fiery lights surrounding him it made Jade and the others feel incredible pressure. Even though Jade could not feel the weight of the power emerging from him, the force he displayed was just beyond this world beyond this universe  

as Raad fey and Duncun were mesmerized and stuck to their feet to that breathtaking display, Jade's terrified face somehow transitioned to a kind of ease expression and her still opened eyes dilated 

after a short amount of time the aura started dissipating into Kier s body as if he had stopped it from leaking any longer Kier revealed the body was in perfect condition still wearing his mid-reaped pants as he raised his hand to grasp a look at it fully articulating and moving his fingers with his eyes still lit 

he then starts walking towards the still-immobile creature with each step the monster crawled back in fear and its face got more uglier from the fear obviously displayed on it.

when Kier got close enough he was starring directly beneath the monster's feet even when he was full of openings the monster did not dare to even try to attack him again it was clear the rule has been made the monster knew that he stumbled upon an opponent he could not beat 

Kier"You are too high" The monster seemed to have understood Kier's words yet it did not grasp the meaning behind them

"SIT" right when the word came out of Kier's mouth The monster was instantly pinned to the ground his head right where Kier was still laying his eyes 

 the monster appeared to be pushed and crushed down due to an abnormal purple-colored force energy that seemed to look like extreme force gravity as the surrounding air space of the creature seemed to vibrate constantly 

Fey" he did not cast, what is that "

Raad was still baffled as his device rang in his pocket yet he didn't seem to notice it

Duncan"It s lost magic from ancient times"

Fey" So lost magic does not need cast"

"no Ray s powers don't work like that" Raad seemed to grasp a good understanding of Kier's power as he added with a certain tone "he does t need to cast " 

Kier then placed his hand on the forehead of the beast that seemed struggling unable to growl or move from the pressure of the spell of gravity cast on it 

his aura started to emerge again but this time it was t dispersed or leaking it was condensed on his body slowly leaving and dispersing upward, he concentrated most of it on his hand as it turned to a mixture of yellow and green from the amount of aura pushed into it 

the monster's skin started to burn to nothingness when in contact with Kier's hand when Kier had finished placing his hand fully on the demon there in a mere instant the thing's body started to burn into black smoke in a gruesome way leaving only his death screams echoing into the air 

Kier's aura started to disappear again when he realized the touch of the starting rain on his bare body  lifting up his head up to the sky and welcoming it as the rain got stronger and stronger he stayed there like that for a while 

Fey and the others from the beginning were just spectators and could not interfere in any other way after some time Jade realized that the rain was the only cover to hide her tears as the sense of relief that took her led her to give away any act of strength she was putting up

and as the droplets of rain could not hide her crying expression anymore as her face gave her up, right when she sensed her own humming she got up and started to run towards him 

Kier was still in his own mind when he felt someone embracing him when he reacted, moving his head down he sees Jade hugging him tightly crying her heart out he realize that could not feel her coming because she was normal, him he did t hug her back nor did he try to push her off 

the others kept watching them there in the rain 

Raad: "What is wrong with her, should she be hugging him, I mean should we let her ?  " pointing his hand towards Kier and Jade

Jade's cries made Fey feel pained as she snaps back at Raad "Shut up  she is not like us she is a normal human "

as she takes a second look at them Fey added in a low voice" She is just scarred that s all"

Raad"Well if I was scared I would t run hugging someone who just obliterated a 10 feet demon monster to nothingness "

Fey"Maybe you are scarred ?" teasing him.

Raad"Huh what no way I would be scarred by something like this I have seen worst trust me this is nothing"

Duncun with his manly and deep voice" It s because she is normal that she can see something we can not "

Fey looked at Duncun and sensed some meaning behind his words as she laid her eyes another time toward Kier and Jade.

after some time the rain stopped Fey then offered Kier some clothing and Duncun tried comforting Jade trying to make a friendly smile but it felt awkward so Fey handled it and Raad used his device to tell whoever was on the other end that they were ready to depart

a big enough portal the size of a mansion door opened the group was about to board it 

Kier was not himself that s what Fey and the others had concluded before anyone had gone through the blue portal they peeked at the three who were still  behind 

Jade was tired as she was watching the illuminated potal with her shy tiny eyes while Fey was holding her hands, Kier started walking up to them after wearing his new set of plain clothes,

Fey: "I guess it's time to go, Jade, I know this must have been very confusing for you, but don t worry you won t remember much after we are gone " She puts up half a smile after speaking.

"Are you ready," Fey asked 

Jade didn't ask what Fey was about to do to her she already guessed that it was some sort of spell that will make her forget, she bows her head a bit in contempt 

Fey's face showed some form of regret as she started to cast her spell chanting unknown words 

and as Fey was in the middle of casting Jade turns her head towards Kier who was watching them her already unlit eyes sparkled again.

when the spell was over Fey walked over to the others with some kind of repentance in her eyes Kier followed her steps leaving Jade behind them.

the group started going through the portal one after the other but when Kier s turn came he suddenly stopped. Fey who was to traverse with him felt a bit of sadness in his eyes as she choose to abide by his request and waited with him, she did t want to trigger anything that might perturb him, considering the unstable state he was in.

Kier stared at Jade who was far behind them as if he was waiting for something to happen, Fey on the other hand was just waiting thinking that Kier might have wanted more time before leaving a place where he thought he would spend all his life. 

Kier "Are you really going to keep standing there by yourself"

Fey surprised by his word looks over toward Jade that has yet to be under the influence of her memory spell considering its effect takes time to happen.

Kier"Do you really want to forget ?", Kier's words rang in Jade s ears as she was still remembering the events she just lived waiting for them to be erased.

she looks up at Kier from afar who offers her his hand another time but she isn't sure this time if she should take it to not.

Fey knew this was over the rules and what Kier was about to do was a grave violation but she couldn't t stop him even if she could. so she thought of at least reassuring Jade by smiling back at her showing her approval.

Jade's face brightened up as she sees them waiting for her and before hesitating a bit as if she saw something  in her mind for a mere moment she walks over to join them

the teal-eyed girl then takes Kier s hand again, this time realizing that she knows nothing of him not knowing the meaning behind her mixed and confused feelings as they traverse the portal to the unknown world that awaits.
