SPIRIT WARRIORS 5 Family Trip

"Anything wrong honey?", She asked, shouting from downstairs.

" Err no. Just struggling to find a shirt to wear", I falsely replied

"Oh good, so that's the reason why you woke up early?",She said

" Umm, yes, yes it is". I lied, again

"Oh good" , she said.

I was so glad she bought that lie . If she came upstairs seeing this, What would I have done. I turned back to the hand book, staring at it. It's mysterious strange colour made me curious to know what was in it, What strange secrets was in it. I did open it, and I didn't regret.

"Spells mastering"

"Sword summoning"

" murk cultivation "

"Element awakening"

" Element mastering"

"Awakening inner..."

There were to many categories so I got feed up and closed the book. "Wait". I said to myself. I re-opened the book and went to the sword category. It read,

" Be aware of your spiritual energy and feel it building up. Channel it to one particular part of your body. With the aid of your spiritual mark, your sword will be summoned".

"What, that's it. Pfft, this will be easy". I said to myself.

I did what the book said and channeled my spiritual energy to my hand. Suddenly, the markings on my hand started glowing dark purplish, and lines from the mark moved to my hand. My hand soon started glowing. "Yes, it's working", I said to myself happy and excited.

It didn't take two minutes before unexpectedly, the glow stopped. Nothing happened. "Huh", I said to myself, surprised and disappointed. "WHAT THE h.e.l.l!" . I completely lost it to the extent I shouted.

"Anything wrong dear?", My mother asked from downstairs.

" Nope, everything is totally fine, hehe. ", I quickly replied.

I took the book and went back to the same section. Just there, I noticed a part I skipped. And it read,

"This might not work only in dire need of it".

" Arh come on! " I exclaimed in my mind. I just gave up and put the book down on my study table to dress up and go downstairs. As I was done dressing and looked at myself in the mirror, I quickly realized the markings on my forehead and left arm and remember I needed to cover them to prevent others from seeing them. So, I took a bandana from my wardrobe to cover my forehead and just used a handkerchief to cover my left arm. I looked ridiculous but I didn't care.

After I was done, finally, I decided to go downstairs.

My siblings had already come and they where seated in the dining table.

"Pff, what's with the clumsy look, child" . My sister said, almost bursting into laughter.

"Amanda, you know he has reached the stage where he dresses " fabulously" to look cool", my brother teased.

Soon they both started laughing. I rolled my eyes and went to sit on the couch. I was absolutely not sitting with them on the same table.

"Mike, Amanda would you stop teasing your little brother!?" , scolded my mother.

"Okay" ,my sister said, taking out her phone. "Right after I take a picture of him".

"Send it to me when you are done". My brother asked her.

Then they started laughing ,again.

My mother then came to me.

" why are you dressed up like this". She asked.

"Nothing" , I lied.

" then take it off" , she remarked.

"No, no. I prefer it on". I quickly said back.

" Don't be ridiculous. Take it off before I do". She warned.

"No, no it's...." She ignored me and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bandana off my forehead .

"Now you look good" ,She said and patted my head.

" Huh! Didn't she see it? ", I asked myself.

I took my phone out and used the screen as a mirror to see my forehead. Nothing was there.

I was surprised but relaxed. I then also removed the handkerchief from my left hand since there was no use for it.

" Ok. So I decided that we should take a family trip to a different region. Any ideas", My mother announced and asked.

"How about the central region", My sister replied.

" Yeah the central region is cool", My brother added.

"Melchiah what do you think?" , my sister asked.

"Sure anywhere you guys mentioned"

"Ok .The central region it is. Everyone get into the car. We're going", my mother said.
