บท 32: Bloodline
In the confines of a meeting room, Lyanna, Avalon, and Sirius were currently engaged in a serious discussion.
"We've been combing through every single lead with all the care in the world. We can't find any trace of Ronad" Lyanna reported, her words measured and direct. "He's gone into hiding."
Avalon's normally composed facade cracked. His hands clenched into fists, and with a fierce intensity, he struck the table, the resounding thud punctuating his frustration.
"That sneaky bastard!" he seethed.
Sirius quickly tried to calm him down.
"Breathe, Avalon" he advised. "He surely can't hide forever. We'll get him eventually."
Lyanna also added her voice to Sirius' reassurance.
"Sirius is right, Avalon. You need to rest. You've had none of that since the incident. Spend some time with your family." she urged.
Avalon had been working tirelessly since Ariel's death. He has been spending less time with his family, missing breakfasts and dinners.
While Lyanna may derive a certain satisfaction from inflicting torment and witnessing the anguish of others, she remains capable of expressing empathy. Particularly when it concerns the people she holds dear. It hurt her to see Avalon suffer emotionally.
Avalon's response was tinged with a stubborn determination, his resolve unwavering. "I'm fine" he retorted, his voice firm. "Just find him."
Pushing his chair back with a sharp scrape against the floor, Avalon rose to his feet. The tension in the room seemed to escalate with his departure, the weight of his emotions lingering in the air like an unspoken plea.
Without another word, he strode out of the room, leaving his colleagues behind.
In the wake of his exit, the room seemed to exhale as silence filled the air. Lyanna exchanged a meaningful glance with Sirius, a silent acknowledgment of the challenges that lay ahead.
"We have to do something and we have to do it fast. He blameshimself for Ariel's death" Siruis stated. Worried that Avalon will ruin himself.
"Well, the only thing we can do now is locate Ronad. Hopefully he'll be back to normal then" Lyanna replied resolutely. Then she seemed to recall something and asked
"How is your training with his kid going?"
Sirius smiled and replied
"We might have another monster on our hands, Lyanna"
***
After enduring multiple defeats at the hands of the robot, Atticus decided to enhance his strength by training his Bloodline powers. Since he didn't want anyone to know that he had awakened his bloodline at seven.
"I'll check the library" Atticus said.
After Anastasia granted Atticus permission to train, she allowed him access to various resources, including the Ravenstein'slibrary.
Upon entering the library, Atticus was greeted by a forest oftowering shelves, each filled with books, scrolls and envelopes. As he looked around the library, a beautifully adorned table next to one of the shelves caught his eye. The table had a small inconspicuous platform right on top of it. He approached the table cautiously and gingerly placed his hand on the platform.
The platform immediately responded to his touch, materializingthe collection of books he sought—those related to Bloodlines.
Hours passed as he immersed himself in the books' pages. Atticus eventually pieced together a comprehensive regimen tailored to his unique abilities, which he meticulously followed:
Meditation and Elemental Connection: Atticus will begin each day with focused meditation, attuning his mind to the elements. He'll visualized himself surrounded by each element—earth, water, fire, air—immersing his consciousness in their essence.
Elemental Visualization: During meditation, he will hone his ability to vividly visualize the elements. He'll mentally summoned flames, felt water droplets, sensed the earth's stability, and experienced the rush of wind. This mental exercise will help strengthen his connection to each element.
Physical Training with Elemental Affinity: To manifest elemental powers physically, he will incorporate them into his exercise routine. For instance, practicing fire-enhanced punches, water-infused movements, earth-strengthened stances, and wind-accelerated sprints.
Environmental Immersion: Atticus will use the training facility to simulate locations abundant in specific elements to enhance his connection. He would endure extreme temperatures, immerse himself in natural water bodies, withstand strong winds, and meditate surrounded by rocks and minerals, pushing his limits. This immersive experience will amplify his elemental attunement and increased his bloodline powers.
