Have to wake up... Lani still needs me... It can't end like this....I won't let it....I...Won't...
Amarant eyes opened slowly and adjusted to the light. He weakly looked around to find all his friend asleep. He smiled to himself as he sat up. He saw master Crimson looking at him in the dark. Wearing his normal battle armor, he motioned for Amarant to leave the room. The boy nodded and left, as instructed. When he entered the hallway, his master was on his heel.
" We'll let them sleep awhile. Mean while I want to talk to you, alone. Come up stairs."
" About what?"
" About what? What do you mean? "
" About what do you want to talk about?"
" You'll find out soon enough."
Upstairs both Amarant and Crimson sat down on the soft blue mats. Amarant looked at the older male and tried to read his face. He soon found it difficult and gave up. After a long pause his master looked at him. Sighed and looked down at his hands. After a moment Amarant looked up at his Master.
" Whats wrong?"
" You... Have you noticed youself recently? Your skin colors changed."
Amarant got up and walked to the bathroom. The normal human flesh tone he once held had change to the pale bluish-green. He stared in shook and fear. As he stummbled back he shook his head.
" No,No,NO!!!!"
" Boy, Calm down!"
" Calm down! Look at me! I'm a freak!"
" Sit down."
" I look like him!"
A flash in his mind, showed his father standing there. He closed his eyes, and ran down stairs. He bolted outside and ran. Crimson stood up as Lani entered the room, rubbing her eyes.
" Daddy? Wheres Amarant?"
" I don't know..."
" Daddy... I think I know where he went."
Sitting at the shore where the river met land, by the S Queens home, Amarant sat looking at the water. Tears ran down his face while he watched the calm river. He sat there as footsteps came closer. He looked up to find his master standing there. The older man sat next to him and looked at the water.
" I take it you don't like this change."
" I look like him...."
" Who?"
" Leave me alone."
The words stunned him. What could he be hiding.
" You like it here?"
" What are you getting at?"
" Nothing... I want to talk thats all...."
" Why?"
" No reason.... I'm just a lonly old who wants to talk."
Amarant looked down then told him everything that ever happened to him. About his mother, father, their death, the tattos, everything. He didn't know what made him talk but when he was done he began to feel alittle bit better, but just alittle. When he finished he looked at the older man. He face was unreadable, and his mind was lost in thought.
" You look like your father? Your upset about that?"
" I hate him... He killed my mother, she did nothing to him and he killed her."
" But aren't you sad he died too?"
" No... Whats wrong with me? Why do I look like this?!"
" Your a Demi-demon, your that color because you must of tapped in to your hidden powers, or else you'd have never activated Trance."
" Trance?"
" Trance, a power higher than any force in the universe, because so few can use this abillity it was rumored to be mythed. For some reason... You could trance with little problem. Amarant there must be a reason you can."
The boy stood up and narrowed his eye and wiped his eyes. " I'm not waiting around untill you find that answer, I want to know how to use my abillity. Can you teach me how to use it?"
" I could try...But it might be hard you haven't exactly mastered Elan yet.... "
" In the mean while I'll train...I can't be weak anymore."
The boy walked back sided by his master. No more weakness, only the strong live, the weak die. From now on I'll be the Flaming Amarant... And no one will be in my way.
