Chapter 3 - Awakening and Changes

Somewhere in the infinite cosmos, several stars gathered, some where shining so bright while some where dimming and others immediately exploded.

"Hmm?..." A resounding hum rang through which caused the stars fo stop pulsating.

"@$&%#, what happened??" another voice resounded through, but this voice was feminine.

"You don't feel it?" the previous voice asked.

"After three million years, another first born has appeared" another voice resounded, but this voice sounded like that of an old man.

"A first born?.... These sorts always give me a bad feeling, it's appearance is always confusing" the female voice said. A hint of pain could be felt in her voice.

"That's fair, but there is something different about this one, I cannot see through it's fate" the older male voice said which was returned with silent.

"@&$#, even if you can't define their fate at least you know it's general location" the first voice said, it's tone indifferent.

"Oh... It's in the Azure Star, but the specific place is unknown " the older voice said.

"That's enough, I'll ask my descendants in that world to keep an eye out for any anomaly...you both should do the same, tell the other Primevals" the first voice said and went silent.

The other two voices made no comments and also went silent, whether they complied with this words of the first voice or not, no one knew.

***********

In an hospital ward, Leon lay on the bed while the oscillator beeped by his bed.

Outside his ward, the lady from before was standing while speaking to a man who wore shades and tuxedo, they were in a discussion.

"What do you mean by, he had no injuries and only loss of consciousness?" The man asked.

"How do you expect me to know that...I still can't wrap my head around how he was able to walk into a battle space which is next to impossible" the lady said.

"Wait...what?"

The lady nodded her head to affirm what she had said, "yup, Darren, he walked into a battle space, to make it more complicated, he wasn't even an awakened"

The man, Darren nodded his head as he caressed his chin, "that explains a lot then, he might have awakened in the battle space, which caused him to lose consciousness"

"Is that possible?" The lady asked as she looked at Darren with raised eyebrows. Though he might be a B ranked deviant, she wouldn't want to believe whatever he said.

Darren just smiled as he walked past the lady and opened the door to the surprise of the woman, she walked up to him and wanted to say something but as she looked inside her words died down on her throat.

"The hell..."

Sitting on the bed was Leon, but he had gone through several changes,

First, his hair had turned deep black with a bit of gold.

Second, his usual black eyes had turned purple and his pupils were snake-like.

Third, it seem like his whole presence filled the room, you can't help but notice him.

"What are you doing here?" Leon asked as he got off the bed, removing the string that was attached to his arm.

"You were found unconscious in an alley..." Darren answered to which Leon paused in his changing of clothes.

"I see...what about Pillar Zephyrus?" Leon asked as he wore a black long sleeve.

Darren sighed, "he was already dead when the battle space broke apart, that's why we need your statement at the Deviant Union..."

"...but before that we need to confirm if you awakened?"

"Huh?...I already failed awakening three times, is there any use??" Leon said with a frown which made Darren and the lady to look at each other.

Leon did not know he had changed, he just thought that he felt much better then before.

" You should look in the mirror" the lady suggested to which Leon rose an eyebrow but he still complied as he walked towards the bathroom.

A second later, there was a curse followed by a surprised Leon walking out of the bathroom, his face carried question marks.

"That's the reason we need to confirm if you have awakened, you can't have these changes normally, including the fact that there was a king ranked netherkin..." Darren said leaving the remaining sentences hanging, but anyone could understand.

Maybe Leon might be a created netherkin.

This insinuation made him apprehensive as he could still recall how Morphas had tried to turn him, he lost consciousness then and doesn't remember what happened after.

Seeing his apprehension, the lady chuckled, "no need to fret, as long as you are not a netherkin, you'll be fine"

Leon looked at her with a frown before he looked away and walked towards the entrance of the ward.

Darren and the lady watched Leon's back, Darren looked at the lady.

"Celine ,why do I get the feeling that he doesn't like you?"

Celine twisted her eyebrows as she glared at Leon's back before shifting her glare to Darren who rose his hands in the air. Celine just harrumphed and walked after Leon.

Shaking his head, Darren followed suit.

Some minutes later, Darren and Leon were standing outside the hospital whole waiting for Celine to be done with the discharge process.

Leon looked at the billboard that hung on an apartment just opposit where he stood, the screen flashed an image of Zephyrus in golden armour, his arms crossed over his chest while staring.

Leon sighed before he looked towards Darren who was tapping away on his phone, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Damn!..." He cursed causing Darren to look up from his phone.

"Please, can I borrow your phone?" Leon asked.

Darren nodded and handed his phone over, Leon mouthed a thank you as he took the phone and dialed a phone number.

The number ringed a few times before it connected.

"I'm sorry, Little Xi, I'll be late today, make sure you sleep in early, I'll make you breakfast tomorrow " Leon did not wait for the other side to speak.

But when he did not hear anything, his face changed as his gaze turned cold.

"Oliver..."Leon called out his voice low and cold, Darren rose an eyebrow trying to make out what was going on.

"...if a hair on her head gets hurt, I'll fvcking disable you, trust me"

A charming laughter came from the other end, "I'll be waiting, Leon..."
