After a few moments, the father left. The mother went to Mohammad, who had fainted from the intensity of the demonic aura he released. She carried him and took him to his bed so he could rest.
The mother approached Mohammad's face and started to gently touch his face with her hand, saying: "Ah, my dear little one, how you must have suffered. And now, you're still suffering because of my incompetence."
Then the mother kissed her son's forehead and left. Layla was sitting alone in her room. She went to her and said: "My daughter, forgive me for being angry with you earlier; I wasn't in a good place."
Layla replied: "My brother has suffered so much that he even lost those dear to him right in front of him," and then Layla started to cry.
The mother approached Layla, hugged her, and said: "Don't be sad, your brother is very strong, and he will overcome this problem. This time, he is grown and matured, and he also has a kind sister to help him, right?"
Layla: "Yes, yes, I will help him this time. I won't let him suffer like before."
After some time, Layla fell asleep in her mother's arms.
The mother began to think, feeling conflicted, and said to herself:
"Alex is at rank B. How did he manage to counter my strikes in the past? Also, where did that dragon come from, the one I've never seen before? What is the secret behind the immense strength of my children, even though we've sealed their powers and only released a little? And also, what was Layla going to say before Alex stopped her?
I remember the reason we came to this world because of our son, but the way we entered this world is strange. How could a person at rank B open a time portal that took us to other worlds?
Okay, okay, I'll stop thinking about this. The truth will come out fully in the future. In fact, Alex has always been mysterious in everything. I've never seen his parents, nor any of his siblings, or even his homeland. He doesn't like to talk about it. Why is that?
Hmm... Why doesn't he want to tell me anything? Could it be that he doesn't trust me?
While the mother was lost in her thoughts, the father appeared and asked: "What's wrong? What were you thinking about?"
She replied: "I was thinking about the demonic energy. It has worried me a lot and could cause serious problems for them. My biggest fear is not knowing where it came from."
Alex: "Yes, it's demonic energy, but it's different from black magic or other dangerous demonic energies.
The aura of Layla and Mohammad is what is known as 'black energy'. It's a power that cannot be learned or copied; it's only passed down genetically. Those who can control it well can possess immense strength. But if this power is not controlled, it can destroy the fighter internally or cause them to lose themselves. That's why, when we came to this world, I sealed it.
But it awakened after the trauma of the kidnapping, the sorrow, the anger, and the hatred they now carry in their hearts after learning the whole truth. Now, their success or failure depends on their decisions and determination. Either they rise and face the truth and reclaim their rights, or they stay hidden and do nothing."
The mother replied: "I know you won't tell me where this energy came from or how all of this happened. The only thing I want from you is to protect my children, and I want you to respect whatever decision they make, even if they want to live a normal life. You must respect their decision."
Alex: "Of course, they are my children after all. And also, I haven't told you some things because I know they aren't important right now and could affect us a lot if you knew them. I want to tell you when the time is right, but if you insist on knowing the answer, I'll tell you now."
The mother replied: "No, you don't have to tell me. I know you have your reasons. I trust you."
Alex: "Alright, I'll go now. I have a lot of work."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I will leave this black sword with you. It's meant for Mohammad. It can help him control the black aura well. Also, when you give it to him, he has to make a blood contract with it. If they agree, the sword will obey only Mohammad and no one else. This is very important."
"And here, give him this mask. He can use it in his secret missions. This mask can hide a person's aura and power; it's very useful."
"I'll be going now, and I'm curious to see how far he will go in a year. I wonder what kind of stir he will cause when he returns to his real world."
The mother: "Alright, my dear, I will do everything you ordered. Take care of yourself."
