Capítulo 20: Kidnappers 1
A young Cole looked curiously at his father who sat staring blankly at the valley below them . He had black hair with emotionless black eyes. He seemed in deep thought as the wind blew eastwards carrying some green leaves with it.
He sat at a large umbrella tree that perfectly covered both him and Cole from the sunlight.
" Dad , why are you sad? Is it because big brother was hurt by those bad kids ? " Young Cole innocently asked.
" It is quite deeper than that my son " Cole's father said in a strong gruff voice.
" Then I think we should report those mean bullies to the police . Am pretty sure they will help. " A young Cole said.
His father gave a sad smile .
" Listen Cole. The world is a vast and complex place with many systems and rules governing it's workings. Rules meant to protect everyone and assist the weak . However the truth is in the end it all boils down to power. Those who have power can shape the destiny of the world while those without it are at their mercy "
Cole rubbed his young head in frustration.
" I don't get it " He huffed.
" Some day you will understand . " His father gave a faint smile as he ruffled his son's hair earning a giggle from him.
**** Present ****
Cole slowly opened his eyes. The bright yellow sun stared back at him as the view of the trees changed . He felt beneath him the warmth of and fur of an animal. He slowly rose up but suddenly he was stopped midway by a neck collar that had chains attached to the front of a large floating orb.
Suddenly a large fat man slowly approached his view. His hair had receded and his teeth was rotten. He had a crooked smile.
" Oh looky here . This one is awake. " He cackled as a putrid smell assaulted Cole's nose. Cole looked around as much as his view could see.
He saw Mia further to his left in the same kind of torture. The beast carrying her was wide and large . It had short legs making it barely one and a half metres in height. It resembled a bear mostly except from it's large tail and chains that naturally appeared in its body.
The chains were used to incapacitate her limbs, no doubt that was the same with him. He also strangely noticed it siphoned the mana out. He had slightly read about this creatures.
They were known as Chain Boors . They were commonly used by by slave traders to incapacitate magicians .
He looked towards Mia who was struggling at the hands of a skinny man who maniacally laughed while holding her cheek. His intents were clear based on the eye filled lust he gave Mia . He walked to the back as he hit the Chain Boor's tail . It clenched its back making the chains separate and Mia's legs separate too.
The fat man cackled at this.
" Stop it you fuckers !! " Cole said in rage surprising him. If it had been him a day ago he would have let this continue as he tried ro assess the situation however his anger currently knew no bounds.
The skinny man grinned at Cole as he unzipped his pants.
" Is your dick so small that you need a young girl to validate you ! " He taunted. A small taunting smile etched on his face.

Cole internally cursed . This would be long late.
The skinny man in question didn't listen to his taunt as he looked back at Mia .
He lustily ripped her clothes .
Mia had tears on her face as she looked at Cole.
" Save me please !! " She begged as she looked at Cole.
Cole clenched his fist. Anger built in him.
The fat man looked at Cole as he sadistically laughed at his misfortune . However that laughter stopped when.
Boom!!!
He flew to the air however managed his bearing . The skinny man didn't bother at the commotion as he lustily grinned at the girl. He took his penis out . Mia looked at him in fear as he begged him to stop .
Suddenly he flew to the air. His lower body was completely twisted however he didn't seem to care as the only look he had was that of lust.
Cole looked to see that a boulder was at work at flinging the skinny man away.
He looked back to see Priscilla breathing raggedly to the far left.
Cole shifted his attention to the fat man as he bashed his head continuously until he felt that he wasn't breathing.
He stood up from his corpse and with great difficulty removed the collar.
He saw Priscilla walk tiredly towards Mia .
She looked at Priscilla with a thankful expression.
Priscilla summoned a spike from earth that stabbed the Chain Boor that had held Mia . It gave a pained grunt before falling down dead. The chains got loose and Mia got out and ran towards Priscilla . She jumped and hugged her with tears streaming down her face.
" You are alright ! " She said amidst crying.
Priscilla gave a small smile .
" Of course why wouldn't I " She said as she took a hold of Mia's collar and broke it .
Cole watched silently as he observed Priscilla. She was currently fine. Her illness that had been eating her mana was gone ! However her mana was still low.
Cole looked warily at Priscilla .
Priscilla sensing this responded to Cole's worries.
" I don't know how but when I woke up I was suddenly healed and the parasite inside me was removed . " She said .
Cole slightly frowned. She could be lying but earlier he had sensed her fleeting lifeforce so there was had probability of her faking that. He also believed Lockley was no fool. That only remained with one answer. The Cold One .
' What is he planning ? ' He thought.
Priscilla then turned towards Mia .
" Speaking of which , where is Lockley . Was he captured by you two ? "
Mia looked at her as somberness returned to her.
" Lockley sacrificed himself so that we could escape " That hit Priscilla hardly as tears started to fall down.
She fell down.
" No no no . He couldn't do that he promised me " She said.
Mia hugged Priscilla comfortingly . It is gonna be alright.
She then redirected her sadness and anger to Cole .
" What did you do ? When they were being killed . How did you help ? " She said angrily.
This was a natural response to loss. Cole despite being infuriated by her accusation bit his lip. After all he understood what she was going through.
Mia however defended him.
" Don't be angry with him. He is after all the one who healed you and... killed the assassins . " Mia lied about the killing part , Cole noticed however Priscilla was too engrossed in her grief to notice it.
' So he's the one who saved her . However why did he let those assassins escape . Didn't he know the potential risk ? ' Cole thought.
Priscilla despite her rage and sadness was mature.
" Am sorry for my outburst , I had no say in judging you. " She said.
" I understand , I would also be angry " Cole replied surprising himself. He previously wouldn't have said anything to comfort her but now he did.
He felt the urge to soothe her loss. He hated the feeling, feelings is what that put him in so much trouble. He didn't need something that gave him trouble.
Suddenly everything stopped when a sudden oppressive feeling assaulted them .
CLAP ! CLAP ! CLAP !
The skinny man emerged. He was currently healed and now had a demon tail and horns. The aura he exhumed was that of grandmaster level.
