3 The Discovery1.3
*****
I'm late! Walking to the monastery takes forever. The robe is too heavy to try and run in. I should have just worn my jeans and a tee-shirt. I sigh I am already worn out. The smell of rain is in the wind. It's just like that evening three days ago. I can still feel the cold body against my back. My master If only I had done something.
"Friar Jarret you made it. We're just about to start." A big muscular man with dark tan skin and black hair stood at the monastery entry way. Brother Talm was one of the few monks who like me, but I just couldn't look him in the eyes. "I know you probably blame yourself for not being able to save him Jarret, but there was nothing you could do. You barley have any spirit energy to defend yourself with, let alone to protect another." He whispers so no one can hear. I know he wants me to not feel guilty but I have a secret no one else knows about and it's eating me up. I am sorry to my master, sorry to the brothers, sorry to the world that I lied that I even existed.
"Thanks Talm." I mumble back head lowered as I entered.
My heart was heavy with this guilt. I could feel their eyes on me as I walked in the monastery. No one wanted me there. When Master Briggs asked them to let him train me. He was so adamant on teaching me, but now he was dead. They blamed me I know they did. I'm sure after the funeral I'll be kicked out, but as long as master's soul is at piece, I won't have regrets leaving. I only joined to make him happy; he was my savior after all, I looked to him as a father figure after my parents died.
The ceremony started. The monastery was packed with at least 200 students from Wellesley Privet Academy, and some of the church members who visit on a daily basis. So many people turned out for Briggs' funeral. I listened to the sermon from the far back near the giant wooden doors. The doors had small windows, with 2 metal black bars going across them. Outside there was 5 monks positioned on the hill top near the monastery for security. Turning back around I look at the coffin, as the masters began the ceremony to release the spirit of the departed, and send the soul to heaven. Three head monks surrounded the coffin of Master Lance Briggs. Their hands raised above their heads as they chanted. They were like angels in sparkling white robes, their spirit energy ablaze, the color of gold and silver light creating a bubble around them. The students whispered not caring to pay attention. Who could blame then to most funerals are boring. I could feel the coldness fill the church.
His presence appeared as if he was sitting next to me touching my shoulder. Tears swelled up in my heart. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I couldn't let the last memory my master has of me be my tears as he departed.
I watched straight ahead, my cheeks began to feel like they were being pricked by needles stabbing into me. Static was now heavy in the air almost suffocating. The windows glowed with blue light and twists of many other colors mixed in. It took me a second to notice what had just happened. They had come for him again. The monsters that murdered my master where back for his soul.
"What's going on? That is not part of the ceremony." The monks began to shout for reinforcements. "Focus masters we can't stop, or his soul won't reach heaven, it will be lost." The monks shouted in confusion all over.
The monks in the church were in disarray. The masters were panicked, forcing themselves to try and stay calm as other monks and friars ran out the doors. Shinigami's' where attacking, A spiritual demon that fed on the life force the very souls of the human like a death reaper. Many were confused about the events taking place; they were looking around not sure what to do. Most people these days couldn't see Shinigami let alone believe in magic. How could this be happening? Such a huge amount in one spot is rare; it could only mean they want to eat the departing soul, but why? I can't sit by and let that happen. I won't. Jumping up I started to bolt out the doors with the rest to protect the people in the monastery, and save my masters' soul. However Talm stood in the way before me.
"What can you do? You'll just be in the way stay in here where it's safe!" He ordered folding his arms together.
His words came from concern, but they hurt. To everyone here I was weak and no good. I looked out the windows towards the hill. The monks were trying to shield one another with spirit barriers but the Shinigami's' just broke through them. My comrades were defenseless against the assault. Ten monks were now wounded or worse. I could hear the men's blood curdling screams as their souls were slowly being sucked out.
Master do I really just sit here and keep my secret as I promised?
My head was spinning I was filled with regret. The screams in my ears are tearing me apart. Do I just watch again like I did before? The shrieks of the Shinigami's' as they devoured the souls rang in my head. I am the only one who could save them. All Sense left me; my mind had become blank, I charged out through the monastery doors dodging Talm's big arms that threatened to grab hold of me and force me to stay put. I could feel my breath heavy, and my heart racing as I ran up the hill top, stumbling to get to where my fellow brothers where lined fighting for their life's to hold the demons back.
"What the hell are you doing here friar?" One of the monks defending shouts out annoyed.
I ignored him, the rush and panic in my heart tuned out any noise, but the screams and shrieks, and thumping in my own body. I can't hide any more master, I have no choice. I'm breaking my promise to you, please forgive me. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I felt dead like I turned my back on the only person that cared about me. Anger surged through me; hatred for these monsters that ruined everyone's lives consumes me. I wanted revenge, my blood inside my body was boiling at the scene before me. At the pain I felt at these demons.
My ears began to ring as my entire body was consumed by blue light. I became a fire of spirit energy almost like a those demons. My eyes where a peer white light shining like lanterns. An attack came, but not at me but it was after a medic monk working to heal another near me.
Obice Max! I lifted my hand up directing it at the monk. My spirit energy created a barrier of blue light around the two. Repelled back the demons attack. It returned though jumping with no delay towards me. Clutching my hand closed and then open once more, a blue ball of fire appeared. Throwing it forward it transformed into a spear. It pierced a circle object in the demon. It was the spirit core of the demon. The demon disintegrated at my feet. Screams still filled my ears. Holding up my hands in both directions, and a blue wall appeared stretching across to all the monks around the hill. It killed all the monsters within it, and bounced back those that charged in to attack from outside of the barrier wall. Everyone look as if in shock as the demons shrieked in frustration and pain. I could feel their red eyes on me, they were piercing through me, I had gotten their attention.
"Jaarr? Jarret?" The monk stammered unbelieving what they were seeing.
I turned to look at the man; I sensed the monks fear as he uttered my name. His tone was shaky and cracked. I could see others looking at me as well, but it wasn't hope in their eyes. I was a monster as well to them. I should die with these creatures is what they are saying. I am sure of that. I approached the man and reached for his shoulder. He stumbled back avoiding my touch. I felt hurt, but I was prepared for this reaction. It didn't matter.
I smiled gently and whispered "It will all be okay Brother Alastar". I turned away, I didn't want to see the look in his eyes.
Shrieks came from hordes of Shinigami as they continued to attack the wall.
