Assassin's Wishes 3 Recognition

It was early at the morning, Tiny was buried in his mother embrace for the last two hours, she couldn't control herself, weeping all night. she knows there are a big chance she will never see him again. Tiny pat her on the head and said with a smile "Mother, everything will be fine I promise you , when I will be back I hope our whole situation will turn much better and I will managed to help you leave this place", his mother was only 18 years old he in total was 26 years old so the way he looked at her was mixed with a love for a little sister and the love for a mother.

After she heard it, she couldn't control herself, in the beginning her son didn't look at her with a warm gaze, let's not talk about caring eyes, and his tone was lacking any loving ring to it. but now he looks at her with a loving smile and his tone was full of care she was terrified to lose him. she could do nothing but to keep crying.

"Mother I need to go now, please be at ease. I know they will not give you an option to come with me and if I will not go now they will come to drag me there, so before I go please, let me grant you a present".

His mother looked at him with big red eyes.

"You gave me so much and I couldn't give you anything in return, so let me grant you a name. to me you are not an object! I know that they are forbid you to own a name but for me you are much more important than them and their stupid rules. from today onward you will carry the name 'Opal' "

She stops moving as if she turn into a stone, the punishment of granting a name to trash and give him a hope for a "normal life" is a cruel death if someone discover you. but Tiny didn't care at all, the number of times that he saw his mother gets beaten because of him was so big that for her he really didn't mind putting himself in danger. for him his ugly mother was the most beautiful woman in the entire world. to be honest he really hates any other creature on this new planet except of her.

he looks at his mother face, kiss her on her forehead then turn around and exit the house after he made no more than 5 step he heard a hysterical scream he didn't look around and start to run to the big plaza of the clan, where the ceremony will take place in.

there were approximately 30 children who gather there, anyone knows that it is the most important day of their life, it doesn't matter if they are a child of a regular clan member or a slave their status will only depends on their achievement today.

of course, if your parents have a certain status even if you will stay nameless your life will be better than the normal slave as long as your parents are alive and still cares about you.

"What an ugly world" Tiny thought to himself.

After some time, someone came followed by group of people. he had a white hair and red eyes, he looked very strong and his age was approximately near his late 30. he was one of the many different life form of this planet looking somewhat like a vampire.

"Everyone comes after me" he said without taking any glance at any of the children.

all the children followed him quietly for 5 minutes before they enter an underground structure that contain only one small room. the room was full of weird drawings which connected to each other in a bizarre way. in the connection point stood a normal stone its height almost 8 meters.

"Everyone in this room will go one by one to the place where the drawings are connected, if your mind is suitable to understand one of the essence created by any of the G.o.ds it will be presented on the stone that located near it, you will be consider as a creature who got recognize by the G.o.ds as long as the stone will change its color. you can do nothing to change the outcome, what the G.o.d recognize is yours believes and ideals, not the one you can learn by society but your inner values".

After he finished his speech he looked at random kid in the audience. the kid shiver and walk slowly to the appoint location. nothing happened everything was quiet, the child was afraid, but he couldn't do anything about the situation.

"what is your mother name?" asked the examiner.

"she namele..." before he could finish his sentence his head vanished he had been killed just like that before Tiny eyes!! he almost vomit from the shock, most of the children were too young to understand what is happening.

all the kids were so afraid not even the tiniest voice has been heard.

afterward more children went to test themselves. The powerless young girls were sent back to the slave region probably to make babies in the future. the boys were executed on the spot. the one who managed to make the stone to change its color goes to stand in the other side of the room. the color shows how much of a recognition do you get.

the color order is grey - black - red - pink - purple - blue - white. where grey is the normal color of the stone and white is a legendary transform.

eventually Tiny turn came, he walks to the stone the tension long ago start to build up and he was afraid out of his mind.

he just stands on the needed spot and absolutely nothing happened. he starts to panic, he turns around and run to a random direction, a strong force surrounds him. he couldn't move anymore it was the power of the examiner. Tiny shout a hysterical scream, as the scream died out everyone went quiet it was because the stone start to transform. until now the highest recognition was a pink recognition, but Tiny recognition goes all the way up to a blue recognition.

Silence, dead silence.

"HAHAHAHA at long last someone worth in my clan HAHAHA Good, its great!"

"Kid what is your mother name?" he asks Tiny.

Tiny bite his tongue and said weakly "she is nameless".

"oh really? a nameless woman give birth to you? kid do you care about her?" he asked Tiny

"Yes, very much sir" Tiny answer as fast as he could. he was really afraid by now he didn't know what to say he was afraid that the examiner will punish her because of some kind of rule he didn't know, or he will make her as a prisoner to make him behave. but in contrast to his negative flow of thought.

"Very well so why don't you name her? you own her now as far as I concern" In other world he was going to give her freedom, who is he in the clan? how can he decide it by himself?

"Opal" Tiny said.

he put his hand on his head and went quiet for a long time, what no one of the children knows was that he is the next chief in line, he was so happy to find a good concubine which manage to give a birth to a child with a blue recognition. he will take Tiny mother as his sixth wife and that kid will be naturally his 20 th child, that way it will be much easier to get a name for himself in this world.

he told Tiny that he owns his mother, but it was only because he saw no harm in doing so. his mother was worth much more than her child, he still didn't know if his power mean anything. who knows which G.o.d recognized him. he has a weak mind to care about his "worthless" mother, but the mother already prove herself worthy. she can give birth to a lot of children until one of them will be recognize by worthy G.o.d. in any case how rare it is to get a blue recognition? in the whole continent no more than 200 people had it.

after some time pa.s.s he told one of the a.s.sistant in the room to go and bring 'Opal', afterward children keep test their recognition. in the end only 12 people keep their life today, 5 got any kind of recognition.

"right now, we can't know which kind of G.o.d gives you his recognition" said the examiner, "we will be able to find only after you will start to collect world essence. everyone who managed to get recognition will start to train from today onward. at the age of 12 you will leave the clan to study how to control your essence under the academies. every academy has different entry restriction, but even the poorest academy requires the first G.o.d stage".

"cultivate are divide into 10 G.o.d stages the pinnacle will let you the power to create your own clan in the continent."

"but yours cultivate level isn't as important as the G.o.d you take essence from. because the level just means how much of his essence you collect, and if the essence is weak a huge amount of essence will help you with nothing".

"the recognition color means how much power can the user manipulate with his collected essence".

"each of you will take one book that explain how to meditate and collect the essence from the surrounding, everyone may leave except of you" he said and point at Tiny.

after everyone left except for the old man and Tiny they waited 20 minutes in silence before they heard running steps, it was Tiny mother, Opal. after she came The White-haired man wore an ugly expression, he totally didn't want to take this ugly woman as his wife, after considering that again he thought that as long as she will give him strong children it was more than worth it.

both child and mother could see his train of thought, in his eyes they weren't more than tools so he didn't try to hide his feeling. in the end he said "Opal from today onward you aren't a slave anymore you are my wife! the next chief in line wife. you will be given freedom, servants and monthly income. you are granted the privilege to grant your own child a name, if you have any other request or question don't be polite and just say it. I don't mind revenging any person who hurt you till now" he said to her, of course if she didn't manage to bring him healthy and strong kids he will just kill her.

Opal looks happy right now. the truth was that the one who came to call her already explained everything to her, so her shock wasn't that great right now. it's did take more than 35 minutes to bring her to the room. she looked at Tiny with a loving gaze and said with determination "I dreamed about this day almost every day for the last 3 years, your name shall be 'Mormo', please accept it as it contains all my love and care for you".

"Very well, you don't have to take a book from there. A better one will be waiting for you at your home".

"Yes, sir" Mormo said and followed his new "father".

with a new life, he got a new power and from today he has a new destiny so of course it is only natural to accept a new name.
