An 8 years old child wearing his long shirt that goes a little above his knees and blue shorts that barely covers his knees, he had a little chubby face. He was standing at the door looking at his brother who was about to go out,
"Brother, can I come too?" With a tiny voice he called out to his brother.
"Junaid, how many times do I have to tell you that you cant." Akram's voice was harsh.
Akram was 3 years older than Junaid, he used to go to a nearby pond where no adult can see them. Akram used to beat Junaid a lot, their mother was dead and his father was mostly at work.
Even though Akram told Junaid not to, he secretly followed him and also played in the pond after they left but Akram saw him and just came running towards him, beating him really hard. Junaid cried and hid in his room.

(Present Time) Junaid and Akram fighting each other slowly.
"Its time I get serious as well." Akram said,
"Yeah I expect you to do that too." Junaid replied.
Akram lifted his hand in the air and clenched his fist, huge amount of fire surrounded him. The surrounding became hot, but Junaid was not wavering a bit.
"Lend me Strength, Saruba." Junaid yelled and summoned a sword, a sword covered with fire.
"Looks like we possess similar power." Akram said,
"Its time I pay you back for what I went through," Junaid was mad,
"You still holding that grudge."
"Not a grudge, but I left for a reason to make myself stronger and fight you back." Junaid was serious.
"Show me what you got."
Junaid dashed towards him, keeping his sword in the back and did an upper strike. Akram dodged it and moved back a little, just a little. Suddenly, Junaid felt a strong load on himself, it was a kick and he was pushed back a little but he managed to keep his balance. Akram also turned his fire into a form of sword, "Twin Sword" which is the name of the skill.
They both dashed towards each other, their swords were touching each other throwing ashes, small fire drops around the place and on their clothes too, Junaid was barely able to catch up and he was also being hurt by fire, unlike his brother he was also getting burn since his sword was the only one which could handle fire.
The fight stopped for a little bit, they tried to land a blow on each other and were attacking really fast but they couldn't do it, at least Junaid couldn't hurt him at all.
Both of them started again and this time with even more determination, still the outcome was the same even after a battle going on for thirty minutes. Junaid sometimes lost control on his sword and it fell afar from him but he still managed to dodge the attacks, well a little bit.
He could easily go to his sword though, Junaid's body was really burnt, it was not big enough to kill him they were like small scars but they were hurting him really badly whenever he tries to move, and he was pushing himself to fight.
"You are surprising me a lot." Akram said,
Junaid who was almost about to fall from pain, "Well here is another surprise for you and I call it, 'The End'." Junaid said and threw his sword towards Akram, it was flying towards Akram with fast speed and it looked like a dart going towards its target. Akram easily dodged it by tilting his head to the right a little,
"Is that a jo-" He couldn't complete his sentence when Junaid suddenly disappeared from his sight and the next moment, he felt strong pain in his stomach, Junaid's fire sword was piercing through Akram's back which was visible from the front too.
Junaid was out of breath too, "My swords are connected with me, I didn't wanted to resort to this but I had to." He said and pulled out his sword.
"Good bye Brother." He said.
Both of them were back to the Dead City tower, Junaid noticed a card was left for him with a address of a hotel's room with time and date.
"Sharla Hotel, Floor X, 2 weeks from now on, at 01:00AM.
Please bring this card and be there on time." Junaid kept the card in his pocket, he didn't knew what it was but he decided to go there.
"Maybe there might be some clues about this representative things." He thought and left the tower as well as Dead City and started moving back towards his city.
On his way back, he stopped at the same inn where he met Bilal, he had few questions to ask but the inn keeper said that he haven't returned. He stayed a night there and then starting to travel towards his destination again.
