《Bastion Of Heroes》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Seth felt himself being forcefully dragged away from the arena. As he was still trying to recover from the sudden brightness, he was caught completely unaware. All he could do was grip the hand that held his shirt and try to free himself in midair. The hand that grabbed his shirt was covered in a leather glove and was not releasing him, no matter what he did.
Seth had even imbue chi into his punches. What had sent King Kong flying had no effect on his kidnapper. The person didn’t show any signs of being hit and just kept moving.
“Good try, but save your energy,” the culprit said over the whistling of the wind as he moved by jumping from one building to the next. After jumping pass several buildings, the tiger mask person threw Seth onto a empty roof.
Seth landed on his feet and took some distance from the tiger mask stranger. He crouched low, prepared for whatever the person responsible for their current location. Seth took in everything at once. They were quite a distance away from where the Rooftop Challenge took place, and their current roof was empty. This meant that there was no one he could ask for help.
Light from the moon illuminated the roof. While still dark, it was enough for Seth to follow the movements of his kidnapper.
“Don’t try escaping. You look like a smart boy, or at least that what it seems like from the way you fight. The only way you’re getting out of here is if I let you,” stated the Tiger masked stranger.
“Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” asked Seth.
“Who I am isn’t important, but I suppose if you must call me something, then Mr... White would do. Now for the second question. Why have I bought you here? Let just say that after observing your fight with King Kong, I am very interested in those techniques you employed and wish to personally experience them myself. Needless to say, your participation in this matter is mandatory. “

“Why didn’t you grab King Kong then? He’s the reigning champion? I’m a newcomer to the Rooftop Challenge, King Kong would have been the better choice if you wish to personally test skilled fighters? If you asked, I'm sure he wouldn’t turn you down.”
“I watched King Kong fight and I wasn’t impressed. His fights are... flashy, but I didn’t see anything impressive. He has a standard awakened strengthening ability and is quite good at using it. Otherwise, he would not have become champion, but that’s all. You on the other hand, fought him to a standstill with just skills alone. I don’t recognize that style of fighting and I have seen quite a bit. “
Seth deliberated his options. His first instinct was to run away, but as Mr. White had stated, retreating would be difficult. His instincts told him the man standing in front of him was strong, and the words he spoke were all the truth. If Seth tried to escape, Mr. White would come down on him, hard. HIs only option was to go along with the man’s word and hope that he would make it through the night.
As Seth observed Mr. White, he realized something was off. It was the mask Mr. White was wearing, or rather the one he wasn’t wearing.
“That’s not a mask, is it?” Seth asks for confirmation. “That’s your actual face, isn’t it? You’re a demi-human?”
Demi-humans were Awaken with animal features. They share the same characteristics of the animal they awaken to. Some people could transform into the animal themselves, while others could only partially transform. Mr. White was in a current state of partial transformation. What Seth thought had been a white tiger mask had been the actual face all along.
This only seem to make things worse. If Mr. White’s abilities were related to a tiger, then that would explain why Seth had such a hard time escaping his grip earlier. Tigers were one of the top animals of the food chain. They were deadly predators and powerful animals.

“Like I said, smart boy,” said Mr. White. “Sadly, there are no prizes for you here. Now do I need to force you to fight, or will you do that yourself? Or you can try to escape? We can play the game of cat and mouse, but you won’t get very far. Either way I'm curious on what you will do.”
As Seth was thinking about choices, he noticed a figure bounded their way. Compared to Mr. White, this person’s movement was slower and much more rough. Their arrival generated a large impact sound on landing with cracks appearing on the landing spot. The mysterious arrival was wearing a gorilla mask.
“I don’t know who the hell you think you are, but no one decks me and get away with it!” yelled King Kong and then moved on to punch Mr. White in the face.

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
