Monarch of Darkness

Morning sun spread it's gentle rays across White orchid valley and chirping birds started singing the welcome song for a new day. Evan woke up from his bed and after having a quick breakfast with her mother,he quickly returned to his room. 

Evan sat crosslegged and started to sense his surrounding. Soon,he could sense different elements in his surrounding. He spread out his soul conciousness and after careful observation now he could faintly sense the blurry outline of different coloured rays.

Some were blue,some were green,some were yellow and Evan's target was actually those green rays. Green rays represented wind energy and it was Evan's first target since his early childhood to awaken wind energy and although Evan had matured a lot his heart still remain inclined towards wind energy.

Sun went up to the middle of sky and it indicated the arrival of noon. Some small patches of illusory green energy strands appeared around Evan. Evan opened his eyes and a bitter smile appeaed on his face. I still couldn't reach midle stage of element sensing realm. "It was too slow compared to darkness energy",Evan muttered. He didn't know that it was only too slow for him but his speed was minimum three times more fast than ordinary cultivators. 

Nothing is more consistent than flow of time.It never waits for anyone. Days went past and it was the 19th day after the recent awakening ceremony of Sylvia clan. Evan was sitting in his room. His eyes were closed. Visible strands of green colour floating around him in patches. Wind flow was somehow more high in Evan's room than the outside.

'Knock,knock,knock',Evan heard loud sounds and his concentration broke. He opened his door and saw two person standing behind his door.It was Lucas and a refined middle-aged person who was standing next to Lucas. Evan recognized the second person. He had already seen him near river bank. He was Aaron Jadestar' the second general under his father.

Evan saw their looks and frowned. Deep worry and anxiety could be seen in their eyes. Although they were trying hard to cover it but they couldn't escape the perceptive eyes of Evan. Since his birth in his previous life,Evan was always perceptive towards feeling of a creature. One could say it was one of unique innate ability that solely belonged to Evan. A bad premonition rose in his heart seeing their looks.

"Uncle Lucas,what happened?",Evan looked toward Lucas in a questioning gaze. "Evan,it is not time for question,do as I say, quickly leave Sylvia clan with your uncle Aaron,otherwise we will be in big trouble",Lucas replied anxiously. Evan had never seen his uncle Lucas so anxious. This time from his tone,Evan could see how anxious he actually was. Evan thought for a brief moment and nodded his head,"Ok,I will do as you say but first tell me is my mother aware of the situation?"

"No,we can't let your mother know about it, otherwise situation will be more complicated.Please leave as soon as possible",Lucas said in a slightly pleading tone.

"Little prince,please believe me. I will not let any harm befall on you",Aaron said in a serious tone. It sounded like as if he was taking a oath. Evan remembered the scene when he first met this second general under his father. He had a slight smile in his face and Evan had already considered him as a good person. Evan could feel that something serious was going on. So,he nodded his head and said,"Ok,I will do as you say."

A relived expression appeared on the face of Lucas. "Evan,be ready quickly",Lucas said.

"I don't need to prepare anything. We can leave anytime",Evan said in reply.

"Aaron, everything is in your hands now", Lucas looked at Aaron seriously and Aaron nodded.

He held the hand of Evan and go up to sky with Evan. Lucas followed him. When they were just going to cross the area Sylvia clan possessed, a loud voice appeared from a distance.

"Aaron Jadestar, we have caught you redhanded. How do you want to explain it? You are going against the order of his majesty",Evan heard the loud voice and looked at his surrounding. Suddenly he felt something and looked at the distance sky infront of him.

A small shadow appeared in the far horizon. The shadow gradually grew big and a large silhouette of a gigantic bird appeared in the vision of Evan. Evan recognized it. He had already read about it in a scroll. 

'Green feathered eagle', a profound transformation realm magical beast.

The eagle descended from sky and hovered just above the group of Evan, Lucas and Aaron.

The faces of Lucas and Aaron grew grim seeing them.

"Pietro Blackrock, don't slander me with your baseless accusations", Aaron said in a enraged tone. "Doesn't matter. Seeing your enraged face is more satisfying to me",a sneering voice came from the top of Green feathered eagle.

Evan looked upward and found two middle-aged man stood there. One was clad in a black robe and another one was in a golden armour. Evan looked at the blackrobed man first,who was sneering at Aaron.

The black robed man said again,"Sylvia clan cheif,are you sure you don't want to welcome the representative of 'Northpeak' empire!"

General Pietro, don't make false assumptions. Our Sylvia clan was always welcome towards representatives of 'Northpeak' empire.

"Welcome my Lord,what bring your esteemed self to my humble abode?",Lucas bowed slightly towards the person in golden armour.

The man in golden armour nodded indifferently towards Lucas and then he looked toward Aaron. A gleam appeared in his eyes for a moment before disappearing. Evan was observing the face of the middle aged man in golden armour from the starting. He didn't miss the look in the eyes of that golden armoured man and thought,"This guy surely has some bad intention".
