Inheritance

"Inheritance? I don't know anything about that." Julian was confused about the situation.

"It is a secret that we don't want you to know," Julia speaks and stare's at her husband.

"Listen, we don't tell about you this before because you're not yet prepared," Pelo explains with a soft voice.

"Prepared for what?" Julian asked with a frown on his face.

" Our ancestors have kept a tradition that the eldest child of the Royal Family has to offer blood and attempted to activate the artifact left behind by our early ancestor." Pelo explains.

Julian nodded slightly while a shocked expression appears on his face.

" Every generation of our family has gone through this before. Your grandfather told me something before he passed away. He said that our bloodline came from the ancient warrior that slaughter hundreds of demons with immense power. Sadly no one has ever completely triggered the artifact and only gets minor power from it" Pelo's eyes shine brightly while speaking.

"W-What demon?. Aren't they're nearly unkillable creatures. Alberto said that he would die quickly if he encounters one." Julian mouth's opened while starring at his father.

"Demons are powerful opponents. A demon will casually slay anyone weaker than them and manipulate humans for their mortal sins such as greed, wrath, sloth, lust, and others... Your misery and pain is entertainment for them. They will eat you alive and spare no mercy!." Pelo's voice turned serious.

"Your father almost died once fighting a demon in the Abyss. If we're not for being lucky, he could die miserably or tortured to death." Julia speaks softly.

fwoosh!

Pelo opened his clothes and shows a huge scar on his chest. The scar running deep across Pelo's left to the right chest. One could imagine how severe and serious the injures were before.

"The artifact left behind by our early ancestor is the reason why our family grows powerful and prominent unto this day. Our unique bloodline is the key to use that artifact and gives us a unique power based on our luck and fate. Here take a look.!" Pelo swiftly raised his hand.

Swoosh!

A ghastly ball of shadow suddenly appeared at Pelo's hand that emits a deadly aura and makes Julian step back in shock.

Julian can feel the extreme threat from the ball of shadow, and It feels different from magic spells used by the flying lady from the festival before.

"Now that we explained everything to you, I think you are prepared for the inheritance." Pelo waves his hand, and the fire disappeared like smoke.

"Follow me.." Pelo turned around and walked slowly.

"Trust your father, Julian," Julia speaks with a gentle voice.

Julian nodded lightly at his mother and abandoned the confused expression on his face. He doesn't know what will happen, but he knew he could trust his father.

...

At night, the street was empty of people.

Two figures, a tall and a short one, appeared and shuttled back and forth between the alleys.

They moved carefully, soon arriving at a massive graveyard.

The crescent moon glowed like a shiny claw in the night sky, illuminating the whole graveyard with dim light. The strong winds that clash with a wall create a howl that sounds like a wolf. The freezing wind of the night makes Julian shiver.

At the core part of the graveyard lies numerous gravestones of the dead, inscriptions, and gloomy shadows. An Enormous Balete Tree is planted in the center that grabs Julian's attention.

The over-hanging branches that seem would fall any minute, twigs like witches' fingers that claws out in the ghosty tree, and spooky-looking vines that spread throughout the ghostly tree. Some people believe that Balete Tree is dwelling places for supernatural creatures.

When Julian takes a look from the Tree, he became more anxious and worried, he suppressed the growing fear in his heart, but his heart can't stop pounding heavily.

'Caw!' 'Caw!' 'Caw!'

A sound of Crows crying suddenly appeared, and It is a noise that terrified and scared the heart of anyone who hears it.

In front of the Ghostly Tree, Pelo took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He whispered some words, and the piece of paper burned quickly.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

A series of noises coming from the ghostly tree suddenly appeared. An ancient-looking door resurfaces from the ground with two metal chains attached to it. The ancient door emits a strange and mysterious aura.

Seeing the mysterious door, Julian's face frowns heavily.

"What's behind that door?" Julian curiously asked his father.

Pelo took out a ceremonial knife from his pocket. He walked in front of Julian and slashed Julian's right hand with it. Julian felt a sharp pain, and his hands become bloody.

"Inside is the Ancestor Graveyard of our family... Remember to believe in yourself and persevere from all the challenges you encounter. It will make you stronger if you succeed in triggering the artifact inside. Now Enter the door..." Pelo looked at Julian with a serious expression.

Julian was determined and surprised. As he looked at his father, both his hand started shaking from anticipation and expectation to grow strong.

Julian nodded at his father and dropped the obscure expression on his face. He walked in front of the door and used great force to open the door.

When Julian Bloody hands came in contact with the door, He felt a tremendous suction forced. The mysterious door rapidly absorbs the blood from his hand.

stzssssss!

A crimson ray of light suddenly devours Julian's body and gathers up like a cloud while it shines brighter. After a few minutes, the crimson light pierced through the night sky furiously, illuminating the entire kingdom with crimson light.

Pelo's face became worried and troubled by seeing the crimson light. He knows that his son's determination and perseverance are great, but he can't help but show concern.

...

Inside the castle, A busy figure of an old man can be seen.

Suddenly a bright crimson light illuminating the sky, attracting the old's man's attention.

Alberto dropped the paper his holding. His hands were trembling from shock and concern because of the crimson light he's seeing.

"Prince Julian, Please be safe!." Alberto speaks with great concern.

...

At the Royal Garden. A beautiful lady praying can be seen, clasping both of her hands together in front of her ample chest and whispering in silence.

Suddenly a blood-red light pierced through the night sky.

"Stay strong, Julian. Mother will always support and cheer you from the bottom of my heart." Julia speaks softly while looking at the sky.

...

At the small tavern, A drunkard was having a good time with his beer.

Then, he raised his eyes, where the flash came from. His eyes immediately popped out of their sockets as what he saw was something astonishing, that he could hardly keep himself in check. He shrieks while pointing his finger at the crimson sky.

"AAHHHH!!" The drunkard shrieks so loud that people from the tavern covered their ears.

Instantly, other people noticed the bright crimson light in the sky. A wave of screams and shrieks began again with greater intensity.

"Blood! there is blood in the sky!"

"What the hell is that?"

The crimson pillar of light quickly thickened, becoming brighter and brighter.

Everyone in the kingdom wakes up from their deep sleep because of the commotion and disturbance caused by the crimson light.

Everyone was marveled and intrigued by the event.

Some people thought it was a bad omen, and others believe it was a blessing from god.
