Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 33

Year 2015

It is the festive season of the year. But the temple of Navi'Sai is cold and quiet. The young master's pupils have been long gone.

Navi'Sai was sitting at the center of the dimmed room filled with several lit candles. He suddenly gasped and opened his eyes.

"Oh no Willow Autumn..."

Navi'Sai stood up and hurriedly went to the phone and made a call.

"Pick-up, pick-up..." Navi anxiously waited for someone to pick-up the call as sweat started to build up on his face.

After a few more tries, someone finally answered the call.

"Hello, Ms. Lily, are you al..."

"Navi'Sai, they took her, they took her, they took my Willow." Lily's broken voice was barely understood, she was crying the whole time she was talking. "I couldn't do anything to save her, my seal never came to shine back, if only I have my seal lit, Willow would still be here safe with me..."

"I understand you Ms. Lily, I will do everything I can to help your daughter, I will come over as soon as possible to clear your place and investigate."

Early 2016

In front of the Fang Temple.

Jimmy was practicing his kata when someone arrived and stood in front of him.

"Hello, Jimmy, you have grown. A young teenager like you should be playing outside, now stuck inside the walls of the temple." The stranger said.

The alerted Sieg rushed and quick stepped in front of his younger brother.

"Who are you? How did you get in the temple?" Sieg asked while slightly extending his arms to cover Jimmy.

"I sense a great amount of energy from you, Navi'Sai must have taught you well, and you we're also able to learn how to control your seal in a very short time, very interesting. But I'm more interested with the kid. I'm here to take him." The stranger explained.

"So you are the one who is taking the young carriers? You took Ethan, Rigs and Willow." Sieg said.

"I took Ethan and Willow, the other demon Nezumi took Rigs." The stranger explained.

"The other demon...? So you are a demon too? Who are you?" Sieg asked.

"I am Corvus, let's end this talk, I'll be taking what I came here for."

Sieg posed for his defensive stance. "Over my dead body demon, This is my temple and I won't hold back."

The stranger who claimed to be a demon named Corvus transformed into a huge mass of black smoke and swirled to Sieg's direction.

"Stay back Jimmy, open your Spiritual Barrier like the one I taught you."

Sieg's seal was revealed, his eyes lit up, and his hands made a wild glow, he was ready to clash with the charging demon.

Upon impact of the demon to Sieg, a huge burst of energy erupted between then, Jimmy was raising his crossed arms to protect himself from the wave of energy .

The dust from the explosion faded down, revealing Sieg as the winner of the duel. His eyes was still lit and his fist was still clenched.

"You did it brother!" Jimmy yelled.

A black spear of energy struck out from Sieg's chest, Jimmy watched in fear as he sees his brother helplessly being lift up from the ground by this new enemy.

"I knew Corvus cannot defeat you, you have a very far gap in terms of power, I have to stay low on the background to make sure we finish the job." The strange rat like humanoid creature said.

"NO!" Jimmy shouted.

Jimmy's whole body started to radiate his own energy. In an instant, a blast of light energy shoots out from his extended open palms.

The blast created a hole on the demon's chest.

"We were right. You are the perfect subject for the merging of carrier and demon power."

The rat demon turned into black smoke and passed thru Sieg and Jimmy's body leaving them both unconscious on the ground.

"One more to go, I hope Satsu'Jin finish his task on taking the other Winterfrost descendant, Summer Eve."

Temple of Navi'Sai

Navi'Sai was listening to Ms. Lily who was on the other line of the telephone conversation.

"Yes that's right, Summer Eve is the last remaining target, but I have sent my pupil Mat Adam to look after her." Navi'Sai said.

"Is Mat Adam ready, does he know why he was sent there?" Lily asked.

"No, this would cause him to panic and reveal his seal early, this will alert the demon who was assigned to take Summer, we must be able to locate the demon first before the opposite happens."

"The demons already have a hint of Mat as a new carrier, but they don't know if he is an Alpha or a descendant of another carrier. " Navi explained.

"Navi'Sai, why are you not targeted by the demons?"

"Because their plan of merging demon blood to carrier and turning them into their pawn does not work to Alpha Carriers." Navi'Sai explained.

"OK, that explains why, so what's the plan now Navi'Sai?"

"You monitor and look after the bodies of all the carriers abducted, I will astral travel to the Crescent Island to do a rescue mission."

"Alright Navi'Sai, I pray for your successful mission, and please bring my Willow back."

"May the light guide us."
