Monarch of Darkness

Evan felt someone tousling his hair. He tried to open his heavy eyelids and after some effort he opened his eyes. Evan saw his mother was sitting there and two drops of tear flowing out of her eyes. Evan felt his heart was breaking apart by looking at his mother. He tried to woke up but he felt a jolt of pain all over his body.

'Ouch',Evan cried out. Olivia who was sobbing silently looked up and seeing Evan awake,she sobbed loudly. "Child,what happened to you? How did you get hurt so badly?",she asked while sobbing.

Evan heard the sound of door opening and he looked up.It was her aunt, 'Brianna'. Evan shivered involuntarily. He knew,he was going to be screwed and noone could save him.

Brianna sit down close to Olivia and placed her hands on the chest of Evan .A gentle stream of power ran through the body of Evan. Brianna wiped the tears of Olivia and said,"Sister,why are you crying for such a irresponsible brat."

"Brat,you better tell me the truth. Don't you dare lie to me", Evan's heart skipped a bit. He was just trying to tell a execuse when Sylvia clan chief Lucas entered inside the room. He looked at Evan and chuckled. "Brat,you are very careless. Even knowing the danger,you have been sneaking into forest. You luck is good that you have escaped with your life intact",Lucas said while looking at Evan.

"How did these guys find out about that matter,what is going on?", Evan never thought,he was going to be found out so soon. Although he was not planning to hide his beast taming ability forever but he was still planning to hide it for a considerable time.

He wanted to keep it as a trump card,for emergency situations. But now that he was found out,he couldn't do anything.

"Uncle,how do you guys know that I have been sneaking into the forest?",Evan asked,he was really curious about this matter. 

"During the three days you have been slept soundly,there was a big fight between Ironback blue wolfs and hell Panthers. Their were heavy casualties in both side. Hell panthers were defeated and currently in retreat. Actually this has nothing to do with us. But there is a entire pack of Ironback blue wolfs were staying outside since then",Brianna snorted.

Evan felt worry in his heart. "Have you treated their wounds",Evan asked anxiously. "Do we looking like ungrateful people to you",Lucas laughed.

Evan relaxed a little bit. "Can I go over there,I want to see Bigblue",Evan asked Lucas.

"Ok,I will bring you there",Lucas replied. Although Evan tried to hide his ability,he could not do it,because he was still a seven year kid. He had a experience of entire life which he experienced during the ancestoral devil trial,but it only increased his will power as he lived his entire life their for revenge.

"Evan don't go,you are still injured,you are very reckless",Olivia started sobbing again. Evan felt someone driving a knife through his heart,seeing his mother crying. "I will not go,mom,please stop crying",Evan quickly gave in to demand of her mother.

"Brat,just see how I am going to beat you,you never think about us,before you act. What would have happened,if you fainted before crossing the forest? How should we live then?Please don't cause such troubles again,you have not even started your cultivation yet",two streams of tear drops appeared on the pretty white face of Brianna. 

"Brianna,you can't lose yourself.He is only a kid",Lucas shouted. Brianna could not stop her tears trickling down. "This brat is too selfish,like his father",Brianna said while sobbing and walked away. Olivia quickly went after her.

Evan's thoughts were in disarray. He felt very guilty."Damn it",His eyes moistened and he clenched his fist. He didn't even notice Lucas who was standing there.

"Don't think too much,you are still a child. Don't do anything reckless again. You are the only hope in their eyes,their most valuable treasure. Thousand swords kingdom also needs you,if you want to practice,come find me anytime,I will arrange it for you",a hand appeared on the head of Evan and Evan looked up and saw Lucas standing there.

"But I need strength,I am still very weak",Evan muttered. Lucas startled by the statement of Evan and he quickly shook Evan's shoulders,

"Don't give yourself burdeon. You are only a child. If you don't smile,who will. You are responsible for their happiness. I know you have many responsibilities but think it only after you have strength. Otherwise,it will only hinder your progress."

"Ok,I will go and try to send someone proficient in communication with magical beasts,you don't have to worry,rest well",Lucas left after saying this.

Evan was lying on his bed and his heart was in turmoil. Sadness, guilty these feelings were completely foreign to Evan. He didn't underestand that he was not in a devil land but in a human world. Ferocity, cruelty common among devils but humans were fragile,hear tear is the most common as it released the helplessness of human heart.

Olivia and Brianna walked over. There were still tearstains on the eyes of Brianna. They walked over holding eachothers arms and now they were completely like two sisters.

Evan didn't notice them and they quickly reached the bed where Evan was lying. They saw His moistened face and his absent-minded look. Brianna sit there and tousled the hair of Evan. Evan who had a absent-minded look came to his sense.

Evan looked at his aunt Brianna and saw her tearstained face. She was still clad in her warrior's outfit but Evan felt sweetness in his heart and he smiled. Seeing his smile,smile appeared in the faces of both Olivia and Brianna. At this time Evan felt clear headed. He clenched his fist secretary and make a new resolve bin his mind.

In his heart,from now on Brianna became a truely close relative.
