AETHERS
EPISODE 12

aslan was waiting for his invitation while the others were no longer in school

aslan was alone there

suddenly, the atlas stood in front of him

"hi pal, sorry for a long time, there was a meeting of the god's jewels" said atlas

"what's the talk about?" asked aslan curiously

"you'll know later, too,

let's go" take the atlas

"what are we going to ride?" ask Aslan because he had not seen the vehicle used by the atlas to get here

atlas smiled

"we will begin your training, and our long journey" explained atlas

"what about my stuff" asked Aslan

"just take what you need, your mother will take it and bring it home" explained atlas

aslan quickly picked up his sword "okay I'm ready"

"alright" the atlas faced his son, and,

their height is almost the same now

"i'll tell you an explanation of our journey

first, forget all the facts of the world that you know now, because what you're about to see is something much different from the facts of the world now

secondly, we are the strongest beings on earth even in the places we will explore the fact remains that way, so keep your identity a secret

you gotit?!" atlas

"all right!!" answer aslan

"we're going to travel at lightning speed, you've used it before?" ask atlas to make sure

"yes" java aslan

"all right, all you have to do is follow me from behind"

aslan nodded

and quickly the atlas left, followed by aslan

their movements were so fast that they could not be seen with eye sight, aslan could still follow the atlas from behind despite using all his strength

atlas did slow down his speed a little so that Aslan could follow him

after all this time they

eh.... This is what well. run? wasn't! not walking either

call it running, yeah,

after a long time of running, they finally decided to take a break

atlas brought provisions from mai that were intended for both of them

they also ate the food

"dad" call aslan

"hmm," replied the atlas still while eating

"i once asked about father to uncle reynar and he said let father himself tell me, when I asked from mother that's all he knew" said Aslan

atlas stopped eating and remained silent for a moment, he put his food down

"it's a secret that only me and Reynar know, can you keep it a secret?"

aslan straightened his body, put down his food, and nodded steadily

atlas exhaled and fixed his seat

"in the state of hades, there are 10 most powerful darks called primordial darks

I've killed 9, just one left and I can't kill him why?

because dark is me, myself,"

aslan already knew that part, that was why his expression was not too shocked

"with the power of reading my mind, I once entered zeus' memory when I met him

1m years I spent just looking at his memories, but 1m years is what happened in my brain,

in the real world it was only 1 second!

when I looked at his memory, he had only ever come down to earth 6 the first was his fight with kronos, the second was his fight with hades

and the rest spent time with my mom, and,

then I dare say that we are the only gems god

I see myself too

when used as an experiment by azazil"

aslan was shocked at that part

"after my birth, Azazil kidnapped me from my mother and experimented on my body,

then the reason you don't have a primordial dark is because the primordial dark isn't in my genetic code"

aslan was surprised to hear the explanation

"alright, let's continue the journey, please,

a little more we'll get to our first destination"

♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇

they continued to 'run' towards the east

even Aslan only knew that with the speed of lightning he could walk on water, they crossed the ocean to another continent,

a continent that no one else has explored other than the atlas

and they had finally set their foot on the continent

"dad" call aslan

atlas looked

"i just found out there's another continent" explained Aslan

atlas smiled

"the next fact will surprise you to be"

they continued walking until they found a city, and a board with writing

"welcome to the city of hestia his city the kuiras clan"

that's the word

"where is this father?" ask aslan

"you have broken your logic about the fact of the world to one, gems are not the only creatures on earth, of course there are other animals, but if the matter of the most powerful creatures?, it is wrong!

here there are other humans who refer to themselves as 'clans', just like gems but they call them clans,

kuiras clan, aegle clan, muses clan and lamia clan

and they also thought that they were the only creatures on this earth" explained atlas

aslan heard his father's explanation carefully, "but, what do those clans mean?"

"i've been watching them for a long time,

I haven't tried interacting with them yet,

their language is the same as ours, the language that God taught, but there are some that I have known and already know my origin

for clan explanation, just like gems there are aether, wizard, halflings and dark. whereas here it is called clan

there was a kuiras clan, a clan with all of its creatures had superpowers such as strong and fast and harsh blows even though their bodies were standard or small

the aegle clan, a clan that possessed healing powers, they could heal all wounds except death

the muses clan, possessing strength can emit extremely loud sounds from its mouth

the last of the lamia clan, they are like vampires can turn into bats, wolves, their teeth can fly and strong fangs"

aslan nodded in understanding "where are we going now?" ask aslan

"as I've explained before, I have someone I know"

it was still daytime because of their lightning speed

they finally arrived at a luxurious house, atlas knocked on it, before long someone opened the door

a man with a mustache in his 50s

he was surprised to see the atlas

the man wore a shirt, tie, and napkin in his hand

"oh, Mr. atlas, nice to meet you, please come in"

atlas stepped foot, followed by aslan

the servant invited them to sit on the sofa as he called his master

aslan sat down beside his father

"dad, what does this have to do with my training?" asked Aslan who had wanted to question that

"i have defeated, rather slaughtered, each of the heroes (they call him a hero) of each clan in a hidden fight

I want you to feel the practice of directly fighting the clan champ"

and finally his master came down

a 30-year-old man in a suit and tie

"hi my loyal friend how are you?" said the man and sat on the sofa in front of them

atlas knew him because the atlas had once saved him from a vicious lamia attack

from that moment on he owed her
