Myth Or History?

Chapter 17: Prey

We had nothing else to do, so we decided to try out our skills. It made sense I guess, our new schedule would be: School, practice combat, practice skills. So, I know that Fujin is still alive inside me, and he was now peaceful with my existence. I began taking to him in my head.

-Hey, Fujin?-I said a bit nervous.

-What's up man?-he answered casually.

-Hey, um, is there anything I can do with your power I haven't tried out?-I said laughing nervously in my own head. I'm used to taking in my head but not used to getting an answer.

-There's one thing, God Slayer.-he answered.-It's possible in our case but it may prove difficult for others. You see, you God Slayers are older than you th...-he stopped.-Never mind that, just, listen. If the vessel of a God, in this case you, and the God, me, respect each other and are in good graces with each other, they can combine their auras.

-But aren't we doing that already? I mean, I felt stronger when I took in your blood and soul, I have more aura.-I said confused.

-You're right, but we're not combining auras. You're using my aura, not combining it. I need you to meditate, I will as well-he explained.-if we match each others aura, we can fuse.

-Alright, I guess.-I said.

Now I returned to real world and watched as Brice brought down lightning still using his bachi. He also disappered and turned into lightning himself and appeared elsewhere. Meanwhile, Kate had summoned the scales and Ma'at. Isabelle was making trees rise from the ground and called onto some wildlife. I then sat down, and tried to concentrate amidst all that chaos. I remembered how Fujin's aura felt, and how mine felt. I was able to feel him inside me and matched his aura, as I did that I felt a surge in power I had never felt before. My aura becane visible outside my body, just oozing out without me trying to manifest it. It was now red, black, and green. I let it out completely, and my oni formed completely, legs and everything, easily surpassing the 400 feet in height. Behind him, Fujin's aura formed into his green Oni growing from my Oni's back.

Just like our auras, on my back the God grew, his body was only from the waist up, the same was observable in the auras.

-Yo, neighbor.-he said sarcastically.

I laughed.-Hey neighbor.-I said.

-Dude what the hell!?-Tyrone yelled.

-Kill it with fire!-Brice yelled.

-Guys it's okay.-I said.-This is just a way to get stronger. We have combined our auras and now we have become stronger.

-How exactly?-Isabelle asked.

-Well for one aura. Secondly,-I began.

-four eyes, four arms, two minds, and he won't have to carry around the wind bag.

-Hehe, wind bag-Brice.

-Anyways, I can just control the wind in on itself due to his manifestation, and he can separate from my body and fight individually as well.-I said.

-Whatever, it's not like you can do this: Secret move: Hidden Black Arts of the Lightning God!-he yelled very powerful.-Badum Psh!-he said imitating a rim shot.

He hit the drums in a rhythm similar to that and a lightning storm came down on us. I used Fujin's power and threw a gust of wind so powerful towards the clouds, that they seperated and left the sky around Brinkfield completely clear.

-But I can do this-I answered.

-...cool!-Tyrone said.

Well we then all went home and everything was pretty normal. Anderson, left the day after for some odd reason. He left us a message that said that he was recalled due to other situations. I didn't need to worry about my horns or wild long hair, because the mortals couldn't see that, the same way they can't see the Gods. Kate had mastered doing the fusion with Anubis, but Isabelle and Brice were still far from doing that. Now Kate could summon an army of 50 men and 50 jackals, and she could summon some of her mummies with some sort of armor and weaponry. The month flew by quickly, it was finally time for Poseidon to appear. I had Isabelle teach me how to do precise aura control, so I mastered standing on water. It was now second nature to me, I had done it so that when Poseidon decided to take the fight to his domain, I could at least do something on the surface. I also mastered running on water, like kicking when I used to kick the air, but now kicking the water. I am able to move faster than the speed of sound 500 feet underwater, and withstand that pressure easily. On the surface I can run a kilometer 60 times in the time it takes someone to blink.

I felt ready, I stood in the water, several kilometers away from the beach, and I waited for Poseidon. It was 1:00pm when he arose in his throne.

-Aren't you being too bold for your own good?-he asked sarcastically and very cocky.

-Hmph, I'm just confident in my abilities.-I answered back the same way.

-I've seen you've gotten a make over, haven't you?-he said.-Not only do you look like a beast, but you're dumb like one too, I mean facing me in my own element, and without your friends either.

-No.-I said.-This beast just knows who the prey between the two of us is.-I mocked.

His face turned to anger as a vein on his head popped.-Watch your tongue mortal, you don't know what you're dealing with!-he said as he got off his throne and tried to attack me with his Trident. He was pretty fast, I'll give him that, but not nearly enough as me.

-Hmph, you're as salty as the sea aren't you? Can't you take a joke, or do you know how much stronger than you I am?-I said very cocky.

Poseidon glared with a silent rage in his eyes.
