"What do you mean you have been seeing these threads"
Voldrak asked as he walked back into the cave and sat down. He was shocked by what maverick had
said because this was not 'normal'
"It's exactly as it sounds, I began seeing these threads since a week ago".
"They scared me at first because I thought they were dangerous, but then I saw that they seemed to
be of no harm".
The only thing Voldrak could do in a situation like this was laugh. He was at a loss for words, how can
this be normal. Maverick was developing at a rapid pace this was just something extraordinary. You
must understand, humans of this world were creatures born without magic, according to his original
estimation it was going to take Maverick about 5 to 6 years before he could completely understand
the concept of mana and how to use it but at this rate it was going to take less than a year.
"So, what have you been doing with the threads of mana then"
"Nothing, I just continued meditating, I thought it was a phase that will pass with time".
In the end he still thinks like a human, Voldrak thought as he tried to come down after the shock. He
sat there for about five minutes in silence he had to adjust all his plans to accommodate this
monster he had taken in as a student.
"How many of these threads have you been seeing?"
Maverick went silent for a moment as he tried to remember how many of the threads he had been
seeing and with some hesitation he finally answered truthfully
"More than ten"
The answer he gave reverberated inside the cave the echoes could be heard. The silence in the cave
could drive someone crazy if it went on for a longtime. After a minute or so, Voldrak came back to
his senses and asked.
"Ten?"
"Yes, something is wrong with me right, I knew it."
Maverick had thought of this from the moment Voldrak had told him that seven elements were the
only useable elements.
Voldrak stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave, he had to get some air or he might
just faint from shock. Maverick tried to follow him.
"No stay here I have to go out for a minute I will be back soon"
Maverick did not continue to follow him he sat down and began to meditate. It was only when he
saw that the sun had began to set that he stopped meditating and looked around the cave only to
see that Voldrak was still not back yet.
"How can he just walk out and leave me hanging like that, if something is wrong with me he should
tell me so that I can prepare for the worst. Maybe staying with me is putting him at risk, maybe I
might just explode at any minute that he decided to run away while there is still time".
"Maverick thought as he walked towards the entrance of the cave. 'I wouldn't blame him though, if I
was in his shoes I would probably do the same thing, I wont put myself in harms way'. As he got
outside the cave he saw Voldrak a few meters away standing there looking at the sky.
"I thought you ran away afraid that I might explode"
"What made you think that you might explode?"
"Isn't something wrong with me, the fact that I can see ten threads is a sign that I have an unstable
constitution, isn't that right?"
A sigh escaped Voldrak's lips as he turned around and face Maverick
"Let's go back inside, I have to tell you something"
Maverick walked back inside with Voldrak right behind him, they sat in their usual positions.
"There has been a legend that is passed down every generation of demons, it something we demons
are born with, from the moment we are born it is naturally embedded in our brains"
"A long time ago when the first demons appeared, there were some of them known as the Royals or
by their title the 'Fallen Angels'.
"Am sure this is not the first time you have heard this title. They are the originals, they are the most
powerful demons to ever exist, they had enough power to rival the heavens, they could perform any
kind of spells and feats."
"Even though they lost in heaven they still had enough power to upset the balance of the world so,
they decided to spread their own gospel"
"To do that they used mediums such as wars, money and so on, however they could not go around
doing that on their own so they created us demons."
"They used us as proxies that did their bidding, they gave us enough power to insure that we can
ensure a smooth flow of their gospel."
"We could not inherit their full power we were only able to get a portion of it that's how these
seven elements came to be"
"We as demons have one mission 'conquer the world and reap as many souls as we can', so we
transverse the universe sowing seeds of discord to achieve our purpose"
"This went on for some time and we were doing exactly that ,until the royals disappeared to be
never seen again"
Maverick then asked a question
"Why did they disappear?"
"No one knows, the nobles have been trying to track down the originals for a long time however not
even a clue has been found for millennium."
"The nobles thought that maybe it was due to the fact that we demons were not doing a good job in
spreading chaos around the world that's why the royals left, so we instigated wars in the human
realm, these are what you know as First and Second World War, we thought that maybe by creating
enough blood shed the Royals will come back again however that did not happen"
"There is a new theory going around now though and it say that the royals have transcended this
realm and have become gods in their own domains and universes"
"Wait!!!!"
"You are telling me that there are other worlds that inhabit human other than earth?"
"Of course! did you think that only earth was the only one in the universe, Hahahaha, humans have
an inflated sense of self importance".
While Voldrak laughed, Maverick was trying to comprehend the information that he had been told.
It had never been confirmed by the scientist on earth whether or not people or life form besides that
of earth existed
"Anyway"
Voldrak continued with his story
"One thing that set the Original's apart from the normal demons and the noble demons was the
power they used, they had so much power and they could do anything"
"Is that so, I wish to see them one day with my own eyes and see their power, too bad it does not
seem like they will appear anytime soon"
"Well the royals have been awol, until now that is
