The Cursed Bloodline
Sacrifice: The Day is Almost Here

Sora was shrouded in a mist of grief. The heavy rain seemed to be a witness, the cries of those who lost their family members in the war. The last honor goes to the soldier who sacrificed his life for the sake of the State. Rows of ancestral tags neatly arranged along the altar of honor, fragrant as fragrant as incense as well as a row of flowers form of condolences decorate the magnificent altar with black and white. With cloud carvings, tucked into writing that holds the noble names of people cannot return to the clutches of beloved families.

Aora who was wearing all black clothes broke the crowd of people, her face covered in a black mask was swept away by the torrent of rain. With heavy steps filled with regret, he walked slowly to the front of the altar where his late mother paid her last respects. He stared at the wooden board bearing the name Yoshiro. A flower she pinned in front of the altar, Aora still could not believe what befell her mother

"I'm sorry, Mother" those were the only words that came out of Aora's mouth. His brownish-red eyes seemed to tremble, the tears that flooded his face as if they were missing mixed with rainwater.

"If you regret your mother's departure, you should grow stronger Aora! Don't be like your brother, even when his mother died because of his incompetence leading, he can still confine himself in the mansion of the Sun! " said Tanuki who was standing next to Aora. He placed a flower on the altar of Yoshiro, with a sharp look he looked at the name of his former little friend

" Both your mother and your father, they trusted their children too much! Now they know what the consequences of their decision are! " continue Tanuki

Aora's hands clenched firmly, even in front of the altar the man's mother still scoffed at the decision her parents made. If anyone is to blame, it should be the cunning man standing next to her that Aora should blame. In this situation, Aora could only endure the emotions. He did not want to ruin the day of his mother's honor just because of Tanuki's words.

"If you want power, come to me! I will give everything to awaken your potential! After this incident, stop thinking about what your father did as noble and fair. Of peace? It was just something a naive person like Aoryu wanted

Karen is basically! His foolish leadership that wanted to accomplish many things without sacrifice was something impossible! " said Tanuki as she passed

" enough! " aora's shout drew attention to her. Aora did not care about the people's views, for her Tanuki's speech was completely overstepped. Aora was about to approach Tanuki, at least one raw punch of hers should she lay to the raccoon man. But not yet had Aora go any further, two Red Cops members appeared and locked his movements

"Take me off! " said Aora while trying to escape from the entanglement of Tanuki's bodyguards. But all in vain, his small body was so weak in the hands of the two black-robed men

Tanuki smiled cunningly, he walked over to Aora while whispering in her ear "I told you, you are just an arrogant weak boy. With that power of yours, don't expect you to be able to stand against me

Forget your ego and come to me. I'll make you a great warrior under my control, Aora!" Tanuki started to move. Smiling smugly Tanuki looked at the people who were watching them, he ordered his bodyguards to release Aora

"Let go Young Master! He was too devastated to lose his mother. As an Elder, I will forgive his presumptuous attitude! " tanuki said loudly, as if Aora was the one who was unstable and was about to attack him

......................

Yora came out of her room, her face was so pale and her lips began to whiten due to lack of nutrition. For days he locked himself in his room without even sipping a drop of water. Yora began to slowly walk down the spacious room that became the main room of the Sun Mansion. Some of his family portraits are beautifully displayed along the corridor. One of them is a portrait of Yoshiro, although in Military uniform the woman looks graceful.

The rain was still very heavy, for the last time Yora stared at the magnificent house that held many memories for her. His dark eyes now flowed into his right palm, a moon symbol clearly visible in his Gyoku seal.

After that incident, Yora felt a strange power possessing her. To that end, he is determined to retreat from Military duty and learn what is the secret behind the strange forces that possessed him that night

Yora's steps continue to take her away from Sora Village, until in a muddy field Aora's figure blocks her steps

"Where are you going? You didn't even pay your respects to mom! " said Aora with a sharp look

" I have business to finish. Aora you move away! " said Yora flat. He just walked past Aora. For Yora it is dangerous that she stays in the village or around Aora, when she has a strange power that can kill anyone around her. An unusually great power, even without Yora's own will several times he could barely control that strange power

"Stop! I said stop! " cried Aora annoyed. He approached Yora, pulled her collar and looked at her with angry eyes.

" If you want to blame someone! You can blame me! Since I arrived late, I can't help you and mom!

If you're angry! Hit me! Wake off all your frustration! But why is your attitude so calm? You just shut yourself up and torture yourself like this? "

" then? If I hit you, will it return everything as it was? If I hit you, will mom come back alive?! " Yora raised her voice while Aora was silent without answering a word

" You can't even answer my question. So get out of my sight! " Yora continued her steps.

An irritated Aora could only tighten her hands. He approached Yora, and landed a blow on her brother's face

Brakkk....

Yora bounced away due to Aora's attack. Not to be outdone, the dark-eyed brat instantly returned Aora's punch

They fought one-on-one in the rain. Almost their entire bodies were filled with thick mud. Shaking and landing a punch in each direction. There was no magic, their fight was purely to vent their grief as well as their respective anger. Like brothers in general, they express pent-up feelings through a small quarrel

Aora and Yora finally collapsed to the ground. Both of them lay in the mud pool while staring at the cloudy clouds in the sky. The speck of water still fell, sweeping away the two handsome faces gasping with fatigue

"Well! Huh! Huh! All right, do what you want! And I will do whatever I want! " said Aora while panting

The same thing happened to Yora. He started to stand up and extended his hand towards Aora. The silver-haired boy received his brother's hand. To end their quarrel, Yora and Aora oun shake hands

" Of course, I'll make sure it never happens again. With my strength I will take care of everyone! Until then, I hope you come home safe, Yora! " said Aora quietly

Days change week, Sundays month. While the year passed so quickly. Aora grows up to be the Captain of Sora's Elite army, under his command several times he makes Sora win against Hoshi. As he promised, he grew into a capable and great 13-year-old in every fight. Its greatness gives its own pride to Aoryu and also Rakya State of Sora. As the son of the Sun, Aora blinded herself, that she was not a weak child who could do nothing for Sora

While Yora, busy traveling around the Sora Country to fill her curiosity. Every ancient temple that records the history of the world he visits to reveal the secrets behind his strange powers. For the past 3 years, both Yora and Aora were far apart even without the slightest communication. One by one Yora begins to understand the legend of Nue which to some is just a mythical creature. He was also aware, from his Moon Clan bloodline he had the curse of Nue within his Soul

That night Naas appeared in his life.....

......................

"What do you mean, sir? Nue seal update will be done soon? " said Yora in disbelief.

An old man guard of the Temple in the Eastern Land of Sora reported that there will be a seal strengthening ritual to be performed by his father, Aoryu. Yora was a little worried, however the other two clan leaders were gone. The Moon Clan and the Snow Clan, until now as far as Yora was concerned there was no suitable successor to replace her mother and Lady Yukio in the ritual

"When will the ritual be performed, sir? " ask Yora

" On the night of the Full Moon, when the moon appears blood-red. That was when, Nue's seal would weaken and the leader of the three Clans would liven up the seal! "

Yora thought for a moment, if it was a full night it meant that the ritual would be performed tomorrow night. Right now, he is on the other side of the country. To get to the Village, he needed at least two days of travel without rest. Yora considered her teleporting magic technique, but it was something impossible. With his current strength, he had not been able to move that far

Yora stared at the pile of old books in front of her. Many strange hurup that he still did not know the meaning written in the book. That means, he still has not found the risk of sealing that his father will do alone. However, his feelings say something bad will happen to Sora if this ritual continues

Yora soon left her seat although it was impossible to get to the village quickly. He can't just sit still. Even in the middle of the night, he opened the dark forest to return to the village

"Dad, I beg you. Do not continue this ritual, something bad might happen"

......................

In the village of Sora, the meeting of the three noble Clans was taking place. Aoryu as the leader of the Sun clan only silently watched the complaints of the three Clan members who made a fuss. Kuus the Snow Clan and the Moon Clan, there was still no leader to replace the position of the previous leader. It makes things even more chaotic

" We must continue to perform the inaugural ritual! " said an old man from the Snow Clan. A characteristic of Sora's main clan is its bright brown hair with the iris of the eye resembling the color of Lavender flowers. The carrying of the people from the Snow Clan was so charismatic. They were known as Clan Medicine with their great healing abilities

"However, only our Clan still has a pure leader! " said a grandfather from the Sun Clan. A characteristic of the Sun Clan is the iris of the eyes is brownish red. Almost all her members have distinctive silvery-white hair. Carrying members of this clan is a cold and firm face. Almost all of them were front-line commandos. Dashing and dignified was the only thing that could describe that Clan leader

"But, the sealing this time has a high risk! In the slightest mistake, the power of Darkness Nue could spread out and make the world return into darkness" said a middle-aged man from the Moon Clan. His eyes that were as deep as night revealed a deep calmness. The Moon Clan had physical features of black hair as well as iris eyes as dark as night. A calm and cold carry. Almost all members of the clan are included in the ranks of Intel and Sora sensors because of their high intellectual ability. Besides being endowed with great thinking as well as cleverness, they were magic sealing experts. So it could be ascertained the reason they were so opposed to sealing Nue without their Clan members taking part

"For that, before sealing. We request that Young Master Yora of the Moon Clan participate in the ritual! " said the Moon Clan elder

Aoryu seemed to be weighing the final proposal. For leaders it seems very important to hear all opinions. Special to the Moon Clan's opinion, Aoryu really considered it seriously. Yora Bosa replaces Yoshiro

Amidst the commotion, Tanuki and his bodyguards entered the meeting area. All attention was on him. With a meaningful grin of hers, she began to take part in the debate

"Do you want to make similar mistakes? Just because a child has a noble bloodline, are you going to let a child participate in this sacred ritual? " said Tanuki while walking in front of the three main clans

" What do you mean? "

" The ritual this time is not a difficult ritual. Just fixing Nue's seal started to weaken. Even the last time the seal was renewed, we only need Yoshiro from the Moon Clan and Aoryu from the Sun Clan" Tanuki said steadily

"This time, the situation is different! We only have one leader left! "

" then? You guys gonna let the weak seal pass the full red moon that happens tomorrow just like that? Isn't that riskier?

Yora who has gone somewhere for the last 3 years, we still do not know where he is at this time. Are you going to entrust a sacred ritual to an irresponsible child like Yora? " said Tanuki loudly

Aoryu clenched her hands tightly hearing her son being demonized made her grow furious. Aoryu also did not do much, due to the North fortress incident many people doubted Yora. They assume the mistake is on him, especially the one who triggers the idea to turn things around

"Then, what is your solution Military Chief Sora Tanuki? " say the Elders

" We Members of the Red and White Cops will escort the ritual. We make sure the ritual goes smoothly and safely! " tanuki said. The eyes flashed something cunning that he had planned
