Cursed Convergence: Part II

Sixteen Years Earlier In A Big Village Far Away From The City Of Sorcerers We See Zenaku's Mother Ayame Sitting In A Hospital, Alongside Her Husband Damien…

Ayame(Upset): Damien, I Don't Want Our Son To Be A Sorcerer.

Damien(Angry): That's Not A Decision You Get To Make!

Ayame(Upset): And You Do?

Damien's Eyes Widen With Anger And Frustration Washing Over His Face.

Damien(Coldly): I Will Not Tell You Again Woman, You Are Nothing.

Damien(Coldly): Your Only Job, Is To Birth A Heir To Our Clan.

Ayame(Grim): But-

Damien Then Slaps Ayame Across Her Face, Leaving A Bruise And Causing Her Mouth To Bleed A Little.

Damien(Angry): Sit Down And Shut The Hell Up!

Moments Later The Doctor Comes In…

Doctor(Greeting): Good Afternoon Miss Ayame.

Ayame(Grim): G- Good Morning.

Doctor(Serious): Well, Congratulations It's A Boy!

Damien(Smiling): That's Fantastic News!

Ayame(Grim): *Nods.

Nine Months Later, April Fifth The Day Zenaku Was Born….

Underneath The Ominous Red Sky With A Blood Moon.

Nurse(Congratulating): Congrats, And You Did Well!

Ayame(Urgent): Ma'am, There's Something I Need You To Do For Me!

Nurse(Curious): Anything, What Is It?

Ayame(Urgent): I Need You To Stall Damien For Five Minutes, I'm Begging You!

Nurse(Nodding): O- Of Course?!

The Nurse Then Rushes Out Of The Room As She Catches The Attention Of Damien, While Distracting Him…

Ayame Performs A Ritual To Curse Zenaku?!

Ayame(Serious): I Will Not Allow You To Force Our Son Into The Life Of Sorcery!!!

Ayame(Chanting): I Call Upon Thee Almighty, Hear My Call!!!

Ayame(Chanting): Grant My Son's Soul The Strength To Restrict The Dark Path Soon To Be Forced Upon Him!!!

Ayame(Chanting): And In Return I Will Give You All Of My Own Power In Order To…

Ayame(Chilling): Curse My Son.

As The Ritual Completes, A Faint Black Glow Surrounds Zenaku…

Enveloping Him In A Protective Aura…

Just Then Damien Burst's Into The Room, Not Having A Clue About The Ritual That Had Just Taken Place…

Damien(Grinning): You've Done Well My Wife!

Damien(Grinning): A Heir.

Damien(Ominously): Now With This, Our Bloodline Will Continue!

Zenaku For The First Time Then Opens His Eyes As A Faint Red Glow Takes Root In Them For A Quick Second As They Then Revert Back To Their Normal Grey Color…

Sixteen Years Later, Damien Began Training Zenaku To Awaken His Soul Energy…

Damien(Authoritative): Today My Son, You Will Meditate And By Doing So…

Damien(Instructing): You Will Become One With The Universe Itself And Awaken Your Soul Energy…

Zenaku Then Sits On A Giant Boulder Underneath A Waterfall As He Closes His Eyes And Inhales And Exhales Slowly…

His Mind Clear Of All Distracting And Unnecessary Thoughts…

Hours Pass By As Zenaku Has Made No Progress In Awakening His Soul Energy…

Damien(Angry): You Insignificant Brat!!!

Damien Balls Up His Fist And Full Force Punches Zenaku In His Stomach Making Him Cough Up Blood…

Suddenly Ayame Rushes Toward The Two…

Ayame(Shouting): That's Enough!!!

Damien(Angry): Don't Test Me Woman, Get Outta My Way!

Ayame(Absolute): No!

Ayame(Absolute): I Won't Stand By And Let You Abuse Our, No My Son!!!

Damien's Vein Pops Out Of His Forehead, He Raises His Hand And Slaps Ayame To The Ground Causing Her Nose To Bleed…

Zenaku(Worried): Mom, Are You Alright?!

Ayame(Reassuring): Don't Worry About Me Zenaku Just Run And Get Help!

Zenaku Looks Up At Damien With An Intense Fire In His Eyes…

Pent Up Anger Ready To Be Released, Suddenly It's Almost As If, A Beast's Anger Had Been Aroused…

Zenaku(Shouting): You Goddamn Bastard!!!

Zenaku Then Rushes Toward His Father And Throws A Punch That Gets Blocked But…

Damien(Shocked): ?!

Damien(Shocked/Thinking): What?! I Don't Sense Any…

Damien Then Places A Binding Spell Onto Damien As He Then Lands A Barrage Of Punches Onto Him Which Sends Him Flying Back Into The Water…

Damien Then Looks Over To Ayame With An Intense Gaze As He Comes To The Realization…

Damien(Questioning): What Did You Do?!

Ayame(Grinning): I Stopped You From Forcing My Son Into A World Of Pain!!!

Damien's Anger Goes Through The Roof…

Clouds Intersect The Sun As A Shadow Drops Onto Damien's Face, Only Showing His Intense Eyes With Almost No Humanity Behind Them…

Damien(Coldly): You Filthy Bitch!

Damien Slowly Walks Up To Ayame As He Picks Her Up By Her Neck And Squeezes Her Neck As She Slowly Fades Away…

Her Eyes Open And Close…

Ayame(Thinking): God, I Know We Haven't Always Seen Eye To Eye.

Ayame(Thinking): But Before I Pass On, I Have One Favor To Ask.

Ayame(Thinking): Allow Me To Continue To Watch Over My Son, Just A Little While Longer.

Ayame(Thinking): At least Until I Know He Can Take Care Of Himself…

Ayame(Teary Eyed): I Beg You…

Then Ayame Takes Her Final Breath As She Dies, Then Suddenly Her Soul Leaves Her Body And Instead Of Going To The Realm Of Heaven…

It Transfers To Zenaku's Sword As Zenaku's Begins Crying And Shouting At The Top Of His Lungs…

Zenaky(Shouting/Teary Eyed): YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

Zenaku Then Picks Up His Sword And Runs Away, His Sword Then Glows As It Fly's Zenaku Up And Over The Wall Guarding The Northern Tribe…

He Continues To Fly Far From The Tribe As He Then Realizes…

Zenaku(Sad): M- Mom?

Suddenly Zenaku Finds Himself Talking To Ayame Through The Sword…

Ayame(Sad): It's Me Zenaku…

Zenaku(Voice Cracking): Oh God Mom, I- I Don't Know What To Do…

Ayame(Sad): I'm Sorry Zen, But You Don't Have To Worry I Will Be With You At All Times And Guide You Until I Know You Can Take Care Of Yourself…

Ayame(Sad): I Love You My Son…

To Be Continued In Chapter Seventeen…
