Monarch of Darkness

Evan had no sense of time inside the small room.Only when night approached,did his concentration break.Evan stood up and stretched his muscles a bit.His gaze drifted toward outside.From the little window,he gazed toward the setting sun.Light was fading away in a speed visible to eyes,paving the way for darkness.

Evan gazed at the sky untill the sun completely faded away.Then he sit down again and closed his eyes.He operated the ancient element devouring technique and breathed in a certain rhythm.In his conciousness, multicolored strands started to appear.He observed various strands carefully and found out the the strands which were glowing with faint blue light.He tried to guide the blue strand inside his body.

Time was like the flowing drops of water which trickled down in a pace that was neither slow nor speed.Thin strands of blue colour started to appear above the head of Evan gradually.Evan continued like this without caring about the passing time.Moisture content inside the room grew gradually.

After a unknown amount of time,Evan opened his eyes.His blackrobe was wet already without his notice.He retrieved a dry pair from his spatial ring which he received from his uncle Aaron and put it on.A smile appeared on his little face.

"Getting the reward of your hard labour was one of the best feeling.It took very less time to sense water element than wind element.In less than a single night,I have managed to reach the middle level of element sensing realm.How satisfying",Evan murmured happily.

There was a coarse wooden bed in a corner.

Evan retrieved a silk cloth from his spatial ring and slept on it.Being held inside a room for fifteen days was no big deal to Evan because he was always prepared.Inside his spatial ring, he had stored clothes and bed material.He had also prepared foods for him within it.He had stored enough food for him incase he had to venture into forest for training.

Evan felt asleep quickly.It was a dreamless night for him.Night passed silently.A knocking sound forced him to open his eyes.

"It is already morning.I wonder how much time I have fallen asleep",Evan murmured and walked towards the door.After opening the door,he felt pleasantly surprised.Because his uncle Aaron and uncle Ekon was standing infront of his door.Evan invited them to come inside.

But neither of them bothered to go inside the small room."Little prince,come with me.You don't need to stay here any longer.They even dare to detain you.Now that it has come to this,they can't blame our Thousand swords kingdom for not giving them face or for not obeying the imperial edict",Aaron looked at Evan with concern.Evan saw a trace of concern even in the face of Ekon.He felt touched.

"Uncle,no need to worry about me.I am doing fine.The thing you have gifted me is very useful in such conditions",Evan replied and smiled at Aaron.Then he smiled at Ekon also.

"Little brat,no need to put on a brave show infront of us.

These guys are going too far by detaining you.Come with us.I will take you out of academy.You don't have to go through this detainment",Ekon said with a commanding tone.

"Uncle I have already given my promise to the vice principal.It will be no problem here",Evan replied.

"How can you give such a promise!",Aaron looked at Evan.Evan had a determined look on his face and Aaron didn't say anything after seeing the determination in the eyes of Evan.But he still had a worried expression on his face.

"Ha..haha,You don't need to worry about Evan.A real man most overcome storm and rains to go further in his life",Ekon placed a hand on the shoulders of Aaron.

"Little prince you must take care yourselves.There will be a training season held on northeast mountains at the end of month.Don't venture deep inside.Sometime human heart is more vicious than a animal.Be wary of any sneak attack from the students of Blackridge kingdom",Aaron said solemnly.

"Little Evan, Don't forget to come to my place,if you face any danger.Your uncle,I am not a weakling.I will see if anyone dare to bully you in my presence",Ekon said and left with Aaron.

Aaron and Ekon left but they missed the faint gleam that appeared on the face of Evan.

"Great,I must not miss this opportunity.I can finally roam free in this little world.It is almost eight years after that day.I will build my force slowly and search for the devils who managed to escape that day",Evan thought inside his mind.His eyes were burning with excitement.After sometime Evan calmed down.

"I must properly utilize each moment of time I have",Evan thought inside his mind.He scanned all the books which he had borrowed from the library.He had already finished three books he had borrowed from library.Now he was left with twelve books to finish.He choose a book which had a cover made up of leather.The name of the book was written in a simple manner-An introduction to inscription.The book had witnessed countless summers which could be seen from the yellowish pages.

"The way of heaven is mysterious.Nature is only one of its simplest manifestation.Seeing the heaven as it is and comprehending the will of nature is not something which every men can do.Only the people who are blessed with the spirit energy can observe some simple concepts of heaven",Evan read the introduction and deeply attracted by its profoundness.His conciousness started to merge in the depth of words gradually.

"Body of human is the gift of nature.It is made up of five heavenly elements of nature.Inside the body resides the soul which is manifestation of a wisp of heaven.A powerful soul gives birth to spirit energy.Through spirit energy,one can understand the obscure language of heaven.To make simple concepts of nature to appear on a physical object is the great art of Inscription",the book started with an introduction to spirit energy and the mind of Evan was already pulled inside the book by it's profoundness.
