Chapter 8 - The Blood That Birthed Me...

No No No No! That's not true. I am dreaming again, Why Mom, Why? [Liam keeps crying and feels heavy in breathing. He keeps running and reached to the same abandon building where he get kidnapped].

'Dwan', What should I do now? My chest feels heavy [Its like a life time trauma for Liam to witness his very own beloved mother with someone else]

Dwan- I am sorry Liam, I don't know how to explain this but calm down. I know its not easy for any child and I can understand...

Liam- [In Angry and Irritated voice] Fucking Liar! How would you know? How can you say that you understand this scenario when you didn't even lived as a human being. You don't know how I feel for my mother, you don't even know how me and my mother were close and you fucking don't even know that she is the only person close to me whom I can trust blindly. A person like you who never get the love and care of a mother who didn't even get to create bond with your mother will never ever know how deeply it hurts. 

Dwan- Yeah! You are right. I will never understand but it hurts so much Liam. You and I, we both are sharing the same fate, pain and everything. Remember you accepted us one. And even if you didn't we still share the same thing, after all you are my reincarnation. We share the same body Liam. Even that day when you got hit by that cycle, That pain and blood loss even I felt that. I know Liam! I don't have rights to say this but she is my mother too from the day you were born.

[Upset Liam, lift his head up and feels Dwan's pain and suffering too. At that moment Liam felt like he is not alone and in his mind he considers Dwan more like a twin brother].

Liam- I am sorry Dwan, Please forgive me. I fucking don't know what to do now? Where should I go now? What am I even living for? How will I talk to my mother like we use to do? I vented out all my anger on you and even said some really mean things which you don't deserve and still you didn't get mad and explained me. I hate myself Dwan, I am a terrible person by nature. I lost my will to train and even fight that God, Its better if he will come and kill me. Also I'll be free from all this things in which I've involved. I don't care about Akumaa or war or even those gods. I will pray that in next life I'll live as a normal person and not some reincarnation.

Dwan- Liam, Just listen to me once and then you can decide whatever you want to. I know whatever you saw is the worst scene any child will see, Its unbearable and unforgivable but this is not the end. Even though if your mother have a good reason still its not acceptable for you. But don't give up on getting stronger, I know Liam you still have your reasons to oppose my demands but before you say anything in between let me complete it. Gods are worse than this, I can't tell you the exact thing but whatever your mother did is not even a 1% of sins what gods do. Those scums won't care about Akumaa, calamity or anything. They will see your earth get destroy and will not even interfere in it once. For them earth is like a small drop of water in an ocean. Think about Aoi, even your father and everyone of those you love. Kids who daily comes to park to play, A happy family who is planning surprise party for their child's birthday, A Pregnant woman who is happy to bring his child into this world. Your father who is serving Japan waits for his holiday to meet you(I know Liam you don't like your father much but he loves you so much, He won't show but he works hard just for his family), And also Aoi who is such a pretty soul and cares for you so much. They all are unaware with what is about to come, Everyone is planning something, waiting for someone, Living their life happily while knowing nothing that they can die at any moment or anytime. Being my reincarnation is not a curse, Its responsibility Liam. I won't say that you deserve to suffer this much but you have a chance, a power to protect everyone around you. There is nothing more to say Liam, And even after this if you want to killed by that God and abandon everyone you know and love you can, I won't even stop you and at last You are more than my brother Liam and I don't want to see you die. Now I'll leave you alone for sometime, Whenever you are ready with your decision simply call me again. [Dwan Sighs! He is upset knowing that Liam can't recover easily from his mother's case].

Liam shouted, 'Wait Dwan'!

Who do you think you are? Why you even tell me these things? If I die now, I'll left nothing but regrets only. You are a scum, No, Worse than a scum Dwan. You won't even let me give up easily. I don't want to waste anymore time, Lets start the training again Dwan. [Liam wipes his tears off and looks more confident. It feels The lazy and least interested Liam finally knows what he must have to do]. OKAY Dwan! Let's do it.

Dwan- Are you sure Liam? If you need some time to be alone then you can.

Liam- No, I am Good. I don't have time to waste on crying and regretting. Its already night and no one will be there at the park now, so I can practice on my full power without holding back. Lets Go Dwan!

Dwan- No need to go there. Next training is not about your physical stats, Its time to wield a weapon. Weapon which can harm even Gods, which don't even have a single effect of any poison, time-space manipulation or any other godly attacks.

Liam- That's cool Dwan. Tell me what is my weapon?

Dwan- Its the same process Liam. Let me explain it, You are increasing your strength, speed, reflex and other aspects by focusing your divine energy and merging it with me. Whenever you run fast a shield of divine aura surrounds your leg which helps you too run at this speed and it also helps not to crush your bones and muscles. Because humans normally can't run at this speed, Same goes for your strength too. Its all about how efficiently you are using our divine energies. 

"Raise your Hand in front and focus all your divine energy there." The weapon will summon according to your soul, will and best suitable according to your body. Focus Liam Focus!

[Liam closed his eyes and starts focusing his divine energy, A bright sparks started glowing in Liam's hand. The room was full dark a moment ago and now it is shining so much because of the sparks].

Liam- Dwan! I don't feel good, Its like I am holding something in my palm and its hot. I can feel my palm is burning. 

Dwan- Liam, Its your rage and tension. Calm down! If you will fill with other emotions in divine energy process the outcome will not be good. Focus only on your weapon.

[Liam screamed and the bright glowing light starts dulling. He opened his eyes slowly and looks to his weapon].

"Its a thin sword with black handle and a sharp tip of it. The sword is surrounded by a white aura which keeps glowing. Its not so heavy but still Liam can feel the power of his sword." 

Liam- A Sword? Its so cool [He starts swinging the sword here and there].

Dwan- Oy! Wait, what are you doing? This is a sword with the energy of our divine energy. Look what you did. [The surroundings items like box and even the walls are sliced through without even touching it with the sword].

Liam- How? I swung my sword in air and didn't even touch any of the things.

Dwan- Huh! Liam, what you are holding is not just a regular sword. It has the ability to even cut through gods. Use it wisely and put it back again in your soul by releasing your finger grip slowly and steadily. This sword works on your will, whenever you want to summon it ,just focus a little bit of your divine energy in your hand and it will. 

Liam- [Release the sword and we can see it vanishes in the air like an aura slowly fades] Wow! That's the coolest thing I've ever witnessed in my life. Hey Dwan, Now we can defeat that god right? You said this sword is immune to poison, time- space manipulation and every other godly attacks, So it means Cronos time power will not have an affect on me. HAHA! He underestimated us by giving us 1 week of time. 

Dwan- Fool! You are the one who is underestimating the God of Time. I said that the weapon is immune to every godly attacks not you. Cronos will still freeze you or even age you at his will. 

Liam- [All the joy and smile on his face wiped off in an instant] Here we go again, Then what are we even training for? My weapon is immune but i am not, what the fuck is that theory. The weapon is made by our divine energies so how it have that potential and I don't? After everything and I'm still standing on my starting point. What will I do, If Cronos will freeze me? That's the end right.

Dwan- I agree Liam that you still don't stand a chance against him. And It was our divine energy so you can say that I'm immune to every godly attacks and techniques but not you. Liam, your only flaw is that you are a human. But there is a way to still fight him but its not easy.

Liam- I don't care how hard it is, just tell me how can I counter his time ability. 

[In Liam's house, Liam's mother is crying at the corner of his room while sitting on the floor]

Why? Why I did that? How did I end up in that situation? I don't wanted to do that but still I did, I am worse. What will Liam think? I know he saw me while doing all those things and run away from this house. How will I face him? My image my impression in front of him, I ruined it, He will think me as a slut[She cries in grief that she will lose Liam forever]

"No, I can't stay here overthinking all this things, I must have to explain everything to Liam. I know he will listen to me and forgive me for what I've done."

[It's almost morning and someone knocks the door of Liam's house, Liam's mother run to open it thinking it is Liam who is at the door. On his way she said in his mind "I know he will understand me, He will forgive me, He trusts me that whatever I did is an accident. She opens the door and it is Liam himself].

Liam's mother- [She hugged him tightly] Oh Liam! Please forgive me, I was so worried for you. I know whatever I did is unforgivable, But please trust me I don't want to do those things. I don't even know who was that man. It's like my mind was not active and...

[Liam's mother suddenly stopped speaking and started having pain in his lower back. She noticed that there is a knife stabbed and the handle of that knife is grabbed by Liam. She pushed herself away from him and falls on the ground holding his wounded area to stop the blood loss].

Liam's mother- [In pain] Why Liam? [For her it was unexpected that Liam will take such actions against her, She is scared and crawling back from Liam] Liam, Please don't do this. Please believe me, I don't know why I did that? Don't kill me please. I beg you son, Please...

Liam- [Shouted] Enough! I am sorry Mom, But I don't have a choice.

[Before she speaks anymore, Liam jumped onto his mother and stabbed her total 20 times including his face and stomach, The blood loss was so quick that she died in an instant. The floor, nearby wall and even Liam's clothes are all covered with her blood].

Unfazed Liam, Stands Up, picks his phone and dialed the local police station, "Hello Officer, My mother is being killed here and I am the one who did that."
