Chapter 8: Shielding Majors
Emon was seated on the chair while about a handful of people stood surrounding her. Mahavar had a pained look as he was lost in his thoughts. The Colossus sat before Emon with his eyes closed. Emon too had her eyes closed as the two carried on with the task of Sealing.
Two hours ago...
"I can't accept this!"
Mahavar banged the desk with his fist. He was seated in a discussion with the Colossus regarding Emon's Major when the latter stated his decision.
"You don't understand Mahav, Emon doesn't have only one Major, there are two of them!" The Colossus explained.
Hearing this Mahavar turned around to look at him.
"Two?"
The old man nodded solemnly.
"At first I couldn't decipher exactly what colour she had as Major, but later I reflected on the force that they exuded. I can tell you it's not just one shade. She performed a top notch Bravura right the instant the colours got infused in her core."
Malabar frowned as he heard the term Bravura. Only one person could wield that much power. His Bravura range was legendary, no one henceforth had the ambit to support twin Majors, let alone perform Bravura.
"Are you sure she did it?"
"Yes, and that too, perfectly in such a tiny time frame. You now understand how much potent her colours are. They need to be preserved well before getting them to act."
"But I couldn't sense any mismatch of ambit."
"There isn't now, but might be in future. If you keep a tiger, you must never run out of meat, or else..."
He sighed.
"Sealing her colours is the only way to expand her ambit as per the Majors' requirements. She needs to remain low profile. Absolutely no one should know about this. She's vulnerable now and that was one of the reasons why I teamed her up with those two brats."
Mismatch... The term left a bitter taste in Mahavar. He put away the painful memories which had started to pour and hardened his heart.
This time he'll do it right.
This time he will protect his disciples.
Mahavar finally agreed and both started arrangements.
Ashm and Mahir were called. Only they would know apart from the Colossus and Mahavar. The four of them formed a network and slowly bound both the Majors. The boys then transferred a part of their force to the Colossus. The latter together with Mahavar formed a shield and placed it on her core.
At once the primes rose out in rebel. Their force was staggering!
Mahir grit his teeth as he felt the mountain of a force pressing on his Major. Since he had given away part of his force, he found it hard to maintain his defence. Ashm too struggled under the enormous energy. His vision became blurred as he held on.
Mahavar and Colossus dealt with the full force of her Majors. They engulfed the four of them entirely.
Not good... the Colossus had initially wanted to put a Shield Seal which would simply act as a lid to hide her Major while allowing them to cultivate with the ambit... but the colours were much more wild. They wouldn't submit to such a simple Seal.
"Chevron Shield activate!"
The Colossus barked the command and directed his own colours to weave an intricate web around Emon's Majors.
Mahavar clenched his fist. He would never have allowed any of his disciples to submit to Chevron Shield. It was the most complex shield of all. Once activated, only the creator could break it and that means, if something happened to the creator, then the disciple's Majors would remain sealed for life!
Old man... you do have a lot of guts!
Emon grasped the chair she was seated on as she swayed with dizziness. All of them were using their fullest force and in return her Majors attacked their force equally and this was taking a toll on her.
The Colossus then gave a final shove of force and locked the Majors inside with the Shield on top.
And right that instant all of them slumped on the floor.
The boys were panting, trying to catch their breath. Mahavar recuperated silently but his expression grim. Even the Colossus was huffing after the ordeal was over.
One would think these four have been through savage seastorms and back.
Emon opened her eyes to see everyone lying on the floor with their breaths running fast. Except, the Colossus, all of them had pallid faces.
When they had decided to seal her Majors, she had initially been enraged and disappointed. How come Enamour was so cruel to her? All these years she had nothing... an invalid labelled as useless in everyone's eyes, and now when she had finally been granted her Majors, they were being sealed? That's... simply torturous!!
But later she understood the extent of damage these Majors could do if not controlled. They had listened to her the first day and healed the boys, but in order to ensure that they listen to her every time, she needed to increase her ambit. That was only possible through a Shield.
So she had agreed to the plan and gone forth with the process. Never did she think it would actually need the most dangerous and fatal shield, the Chevron Shield to lock her Majors!
Suddenly Ashm felt something amiss. He racked his brains to find the thing...
Something was feeling different.
He looked at Emon and right then he remembered...
The pull... He was no longer feeling the pull towards Emon's Major. It had started when he had tried to suppress her newly acquired colours that day. He felt attraction and repulsion of colours at the same time and that had lingered till now, but currently, there was no trace of it ever existing!
Frowning, he looked at Emon. She appeared normal, so she didn't feel anything...
Suddenly a thought occurred to Mahavar.
"Emon, do you know what colours are your Majors?"
Emon stared at the Colossus for a second before replying,
"Red and Blue"
