A few days after the attack
The village had calmed down, but sorrow and sadness could be sensed on the village still. A lot of the Aduls of the village died, leaving many children orphans. This led to a mass of children being left with no family or home. The children were having a mental break down, as they couldn't accept the reality.
The village chief had a grim expression as he counted the people missing and the children that were abducted. After he ran into the village a few days ago to stop the masked people he realized that they really didn't care about the elderly cultivators, as they knocked them unconscious with drugs. However they didn't kill them cause they just couldn't. They elderly compered to them were much stronger than them in while is a sleeping state. This included the village chief that got knocked unconscious from the fatal sleeping drug. Dispite that, some of them tried to kill him which ended into their demise. The chief still didn't know what kind of drug they used to knock them out.
The reason behind the masked peoples attack was to attack and kill leng, but as well as kidnap a lot of kids. The village chief found out why by interogating one of them. He found out that they need kids for a new experiment they were making, trying to create a new assasin group with them. The kids will be brain washed and given hardcore and cruel training. The village chief Calmed down as the days went by.
Haku was worried about Alastor and Heise. Alastor was abducted by Lucifer and Heise's father got really damaged in the fight, His condition extremely severe. With Alastor's Wereabout's unknown and Heise's consern he couldn't focus on himself. He Started training his sword putting all his feeling into them, which slowly polished his character even more. The gem on his forehead shined as it slowly made him feel Jubelated, his stamina returning from the training.
Heise's House
Heise looked sleepless, as his eyes had dark circles under them,his clothes unchanged , as if he hadn't slep for days. Leng was laying on his bed while heise was whiping him clean. He was sweating a lot, while coughing blood. The village chief gave him a diagnosis about his condition. After listening on it Heise's face became ashened with horror as tears poured from his eyes. Apparently Lucifer launched a death seal on Lengs heart. A death seal is something created by Very High ranked Demon's and it so happened that this seal was created by the demon god himself. The village chief could nothing about it since He had to surpress his cultivation.

In the end there was no method for Leng to get saved, the only reason he didn't die immediately was because his divine body part is his heart. Leng smiled while blood dripped from his mouth. He patted Heises hand and shook his head, his eyes filled with care and regret. Heise's tears kept pouring down. He couldn't stop the feeling of loss in his heart, a feeling he had only gotten once when his mother died. He couldn't accept this. Hatred towards lucifer started sprouting in his heart.
Leng removed a neckless from his neck as he handed it over to Heise. He smiled one last time as his heart stopped. Everything stopped at that moment, nothing could be heard. Heise's Eye's where wide open as he looked at his dead father's corpse, his tears pouring even harder. His eyes flashed colors in red and blue, then returned to normal.
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A loud scream could be heard as every animal outside trembled, Heise was mentaly broken as he was holding the neckless, his knees kneeling, body bending, as he placed it close to his heart. A sad cry of a child could be heard for several hours.
His mind blank, he looked into the ceiling with a meaningless gaze. He felt empty, hollow. He couldn't accept reality.
A few days later a funeral was held by the whole village for the people killed in the fight, along with Heise's father. Heise's tears had dried on his face, as he wore his best clothes to the ocasion. He returned home with a Bland expression, his eyes losing focus.
"Am i cursed? Am i just not fit for living?" He thought while slowly grabbing a knife from the kitchen. He placed it over his knee and stabbed it as hard as he could, no reaction to pain could be seen on his face, as tears poured out.
A shadow rushed from outside and knocked Heise unconscious. It was haku, he took heise and placed him down. His blue eyes looked disprited as he took care of heises injury. He let him sleep as he looked over him. This situation was hard on him. He couldn't bare to lose another brother.

His parents died outside the village. He grew up inside the village, he was one of its inhabitants. Although he was an orphan he still didn't get disharteaned by it. Due to his high inteligence he was left out in class which led him developing a loner attitude, however he soon found out that there were other children like him.
He started hanging out with Alastor and understood friendship with him. On the other hand Heise came later, however he felt the same feeling that he did on himself, on Heise. A person disconnected from the world. As time passed by he felt that Heise was slowly changing, His heart changing in the process as well. One day they decided to form a brotherly bond, calling themselves brothers, trusting their lives to one another.
Haku became a lot more spirited and happy as time went by, as well as Alastor. It was clear that they were enjoying eachothers company. Heise on the other hand was much slower to opening, however after a while he started opening up, however as time passed by both Alastor and Haku got worried about him. Although Heise was really talented and smart, this was also his flaw. He is too smart for his own good. The paranoia creeping inside him.
Thanks to the repited attempts to help Heise he slowly got more and more open, showed him emotions more and more. However a small accident made them realize that Heise was Too ruthless and fearless. One day when they were hunting Both of them were knocked out, which almost got them killed. It was from a monster attack, however it was a weak one. But for a child even the weakest monsters could easily kill them. Heise went on a rampage, not knowing what was going on, He ended up covered in scars and wounds, Blood covering his whole body. The monster died a miserable death.
He returned to the village carrying Haku and alastor and passing out right there. He didn't remember anything from that day and he went on his usual life as if nothing happened. His wounds also Healed in the matter of hours which should've been impossible.
Haku realized that Heise, although was the smartest and the most talented from the Three of them, he was weak mentally and immature when it came to everyday things. He was expecting a situation like this, when he heard his father died, so he was prepared. Heise was too Weak minded for something like this. The crystal on Haku's forehead shone as it calmed him down. It was the only thing that was left for him by his parent's. The village chief said it is Family heritage.
He played around with his sword as he was waiting for Heise to wake up. A few hours later Heise woke up and looked at the whole scene as he bitterly smiled. His wound had already healed. Haku hugged him while patting his back
"Dont worry we are here for you. You can't disgrace your father with such a way of death. You need to be strong for him, become stronger than anyone for him" Said haku while looking at Heise straight in the eyes.
Heise nodded while tears rolled out from his eyes. After he calmed down he took the neckless his father gave him and gave it a better look. He noticed that it had a weird shape to it, as if it was some sort of button. He placed his finger on it, a large ammount of patterns and symbols apearing everywhere. A Minature Leng was created in the neckless.

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
