The Mirror Of God
Episode 7: Evander Deo
Corinthian State: The Forest of Spruce
A 10-year-old boy was swinging his sword in the middle of the forest alone, the sword was a gift from his mother that was given to him on the day of his 5th birthday, for 5 years she trained her swordsmanship alone without a teacher or friend, she has one sister who is 5 years old and has two twin brothers who are 20 years old.
The boy has been training since the morning and always comes home late in the afternoon, he trains on weekends when he is off school, on Saturdays and Sundays. He continued to train tirelessly, he continued to train ceaselessly, only for one reason, which was that he had not inherited any power from the Athenian child. Athenian children in her city had the ability to manipulate all elements, from water, fire, earth, and air. However Evander could not at all manipulate the elements, that was the reason he continued to practice his sword.
After he went home his twin brothers were waiting in front of his house and were about to scold him.
Corinthian State: The House of the Deo Clan
His two brothers with angry faces were already waiting for his return. While Evander is at home, Evan is attacked by his twin brothers with earth elements.
"Hey unexpected child, where are you from?" Ask her sister named Ying
Evander is injured in the head due to the attacks of his two brothers, but Evander is silent and does not fight.
"I'm from the woods, practicing." Said
"What are you practicing for! You've been expected to be a merchant by father, son does not know profit, has no power but instead busy doing things in vain." Hardik's brother was named Yung
"I don't want to be a merchant, I want to be the best swordsman in Ellada even in Olympus." Said
Both of his brothers laughed and mocked him.
"Hahaha, throw away that unlucky dream of yours, it's no use at all." Said Ying
"You should know where you are, be aware of your capacity." Ejek Yung
"Hei Ying and Yung, I could have slashed the necks of the two of you easily, but I appreciate mom, so I didn't." Said Evan
His two brothers were furious and his older brother Yung took out the fire element from his hand and fired it at Evan, Evan dodging his older brother's attack, but his other brother named Ying took out the water element and attacked him, Evan was unable to dodge and fell down due to her sister Ying's attack.
"You're dead boy!" Yung Shouted
"We kill him brother, the disgrace of our clan's family is him." Rich Ying
Before his two brothers attacked again the mother appeared from the sky and stopped their fight.
"Stop you two!" Shouted the mother
Evander's mother Desma is one of Athena's most talented children, she can manipulate all the elements easily, even she can combine those elements to become new elements, usually the average Athena child is only able to manipulate two elements, both Evan brothers can manipulate 3 elements.
"She's looking for you because of ma'am." Said Yung
"Yes ma'am, he challenged us." Sahut Ying's
Evander was silent, he knew that he would not win against his two brothers, no matter what he did he would not win.
"Evan went inside, went to take a shower and then ate, then went to sleep. Tomorrow you have to go to school." Said the Mother
"Yes ma'am." Evan said according to
Evan immediately went in to take a bath and eat, then he went to sleep.
In the morning he was preparing to go to school, when he was about to leave he heard his two brothers whispering, Evan peeking and stealing the talk of his two brothers.
"So, are all plans ready for Ying?" Ask Yung
"Already Yung, we do it after the goddamn kid leaves for school." Said Ying
Evan knew that something was amiss as they planned, Ying suddenly appeared before him, Evan was shocked by Ying's appearance in front of him.
"What are you doing, boy?" Ask Ying
"I want to go to school." Said Evan
Evan then walks calmly away from Ying, in fact Ying is aware that Evan heard their conversation, but he knows that there is nothing Evan can do to mess with their plans.
Corinthian State: School
At school, as usual, his friends ridicule him and reproach him because he is a child who cannot manipulate the elements.
"Hey sword boy, what are you practicing swords for, look at me, I can manipulate the air." Said one of his friends
"Hey don't bother him keep on Dido!" Shouted one of the women named Halina
"Hello beautiful, why the hell are you always angry when I disturb the sword, my sword is bigger than hers." Dido
"You want me to kill!?" Shouted Helina
An annoyed Evan picked up the stone and poked the stone right against Dido's head, Dido looked at Evan with great annoyance.
"I can manipulate the earth." Said Evan
"You hit me with a fucking rock! Let's fight!" Shouted Dido
"I'm not carrying my sword, I'll easily kill you if I bring my sword." Said Evan
"It's Evan, don't keep fighting." Helina
"You son of the Kristel Clan don't pretend to care about me, you know very well that our family is hostile." Said Evan
Their debate stalled because of the sound of the school bell, the sign they entered the classroom and the teacher was coming soon, Evan was very dislikeful of the lesson, because the lesson was about manipulating the elements.
The teacher explained about the supporting elements and the merging of the elements, the Athenian child was endowed with the power to combine the two elements to become a new element, the fire and water elements if combined would become lightning, lightning, air and water will become ice and much more, Evan is not at all concerned with the lesson because he is completely incapable of controlling the elements.
"Time to practice." Said the Master
Evan raised his hand and let out the class.
"Sir, I'm clearance to get out." Said Evan
"What's wrong is Evander, even if you can't control the elements you don't have to get out of class, you can get science by staying here." Teacher said
Evan stays out of the classroom and heeds his teacher's words, before he leaves the teacher giving him a short story.
"Evan you know that when she was little Goddess Athena could not do anything, everyone knew that she was the son of the God Zeus, but the ability of Goddess Athena was arguably very weak, The great Athena with the God Hercules and the God Hercules was always proud of by the other gods, while the Goddess Athena was always ridiculed by the other children for being very weak, then the Goddess Athena had the idea to learn magic from the God Hermes, the Goddess Athena went into her library of Hermes to learn from him, Hermes only gave a book to the Goddess Athena, the book is about element control, the secret behind element control and only the chosen people can learn the book, the other gods who read the book are not necessarily able to understand and learn the element control, but Goddess Athena with her sincerity and determination she can control the elements and prove to everyone that she is strong and capable and we are lucky to be able to inherit her powers." Obviously the teacher
Evan is getting angry at hearing the story, for Evan it is a fairy tale and fantasy of everyone who is here.
"I'm so bored I heard that story! You are the one who inherited his power! Not me! But you guys are fucking!" Hardik Evan
Evan then runs away from his class, Helina who sees him as very concerned and pitying, Helina actually takes a heart to Evan and she intends to help Evan.
Evan runs away from school and goes home, he is very upset with everyone who always discusses the elements, elements, and elements. He did not know why he could not control the elements, whereas he was the son of the Deo clan head, but he could not control the elements at all. For Evan, Zeus was too funny to give him this fate, even though Evan wished to be born in the family of Apollo swordsmen instead of Athena family full of hypocrisy.
Corinthian State: The House of the Deo Clan
When Evan arrives at home, Evan is confused by the state of his house, his entire house is a mess. Then, he saw that there were corpses from his clan scattered, even Evan saw the corpse of his uncle, Evan was surprised by the sight he saw.
"What's going on! Who attacked my clan." Evan muttered
Evan panicked and ran towards his sister's room, he didn't find his sister in his room, then he headed towards her brother's second room and he also didn't see them in his room, Evan was very scared and trembling, he was very scared, she immediately ran towards her parents room and how surprised she saw her parents lying helpless, they were dying, Evan immediately ran towards his mother and hugged his dying mother.
"You go Evan, your two brothers did this." Said the mother
Then his mother breathed her last breath, soon followed by her father. Evan was furious and immediately ran to his room, he picked up his mother's sword and immediately looked for his two brothers, when he came out of his room, not his brother who was before him. It was someone with a mask that he did not recognize at all.
"Who are you!" Shouted Evan by brandishing the sword towards the man
The masked man was confused, then he called his two brothers.
"Hei Ying, Yung, there's one left." Said the masked man
Ying and Yung immediately ran towards the masked man.
"Don't he, let him live, so he can tell people about this incident." Said Yung
"I wanted to kill him so badly." Said the masked man
Evan trembled with his sword, his cries continuously dripping, he did not expect that his two brothers would do this deed.
"What's their fault brother!" Shouted Evan
Soon, Ying came by also with her sister.
"It's all over, let's go." Said Ying
Ying was surprised to see Evan grasping a sword and pointed it at the masked man and at Yung.
"Ah shit, why are you showing up now Ying." Said Yung
"Just let the useless boy go, let's go." Said Ying
Then Ying and Yung left with the masked man carrying his sister, Evan could not do anything, the sword he held fell, Evan's body shook, then he cried, he continued to cry incessantly.
"I can't do anything, what are your plans, fucking Zeus! Why is this fate what I got!" Shouted Evan
Evan cried until he finally fainted because he kept crying.
Evan wakes up in a place, he does not know where he is, suddenly Helina comes into his room with hot water and towels.
"Where am I!?" Shouted Evan
"Let's remember Evan, you're in my house, we've heard the news about your family and the disappearance of your brothers, our family is investigating the culprit." Helina
"You did it! I know you did it! That masked man is someone from your clan! I know!" Shouted Evan
Shortly after, the leader of the Kristel Clan came in, Sander Kristel.
"Not us Evan, I want you to tell me everything you saw, this is an attack and a declaration of war on the Athenian child, it could be our clan and the Viole clan who will be the next victims, so we beg for cooperation." Sander
Evan again cried, he did not know what happened, but he would not tell about his two brothers, any way if he told the perpetrators were his two brothers, he said, it will add to the disgrace of his family and disgrace for him, Evan must hide the actions of his two brothers from anyone.
"Where's my sword?" Ask Evan to Helina
"I keep it."
"Bring it here" said Evan
Helina took Evan's sword and gave it to Evan.
"Please leave me alone." Said Evan again
"Yes." Yeah."
Helina leaves Evan alone, Evan writes a letter and writes about the murder of his clan, Evan writes about the masked man, but Evan does not write his two brothers, he writes everything he sees. Then, he left the residence of the Kristel clan secretly and went on an adventure to find his two brothers.
