In the quiet stillness of the night, a boy rested contentedly on his mother's lap.
They settled into a soft chair by the window, where they could gaze out at the night sky in all its vastness. They both looked up into the night sky at the sparkling stars.
"Why are we born different, mother?" A young boy asked.
"Who said we were born different? It's just that we are a little stronger than others," The mother replied.
In the quiet stillness of the night, a boy rested contentedly on his mother's lap.
"How do you feel, Aizel, about others?" The mother asked.
"I don't like anyone except Alora. I am trying, just like you said."
"Don't worry you will get used to it as you grow up," The mother replied, ruffling his hair.
"Mother, how was father? Was he also like me?"
"Hmm... he was totally opposite to you. He used to love everyone, despite being from the outside.
"He was friends with everyone and used to help them every time. Everyone loved him," The mother replied with a smile.
"Do you think I can become like my father?" little Aizel asked.
"Of course, you can become even better. Your father was really proud of you.
"He is always watching you from the other side."
"Then I need to do my best," Aizel said, thumping his chest a little.
"Hihi, my naughty little moonlight swordsman,"
"Don't call me that... I hate that name. Why did Alora even call me like that?"
"Ayee Ayee Aizel Mooncrader,"
*****
Aizel opened his eyes in the midst of a cloud of black smoke and found himself back in the enigmatic realm of his own consciousness.
"You are here," The other Aizel said, sitting on a black smoke throne.
"Am I dead?"
"Not for now. You were badly injured and on the verge of dying before you fainted. Right now you are resting in your room in the castle."
"What about Daisy? Is she safe? Send me back first; I will talk with you later."
"She is sleeping beside you. Listen to me now... I was expecting you to beg me to unlock your first major core upgrade, but who could have thought...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"After all, you are me, so my qualities will ultimately be there."
"I suppose you pass the test for now. Now your mental core will be upgraded to Grade III and have achieved the first major upgrade."
"I didn't know you would really do it," Aizel said.
"I hated your personality at first, but it seems the memories that you are getting back, finally bringing us back like we used to be."
"About the memory, I recently remembered a new one," Aizel interrupted.
"What is it?" Other Aizel asked.
"It was us sitting with our mother while talking about our father, and I finally got to know my full name and a stupid moniker,"
"The Moonlight Swordsman?" The other Aizel asked.
"Yes, that's the one."
"Do you remember any techniques or powers yet?"
"Does that have some sort of powers and techniques too?" Aizel asked.
"It seems you haven't. Well, you will remember in the future, but now do note some things..
"Your core has now been upgraded, and you will get a major boost in your imagination power. That multiple-headed insect against which you struggled, now you can beat his ass in just under a minute or even a few seconds.
"It depends on how well you can use your power."
"Woahh... So I will be able to use many things that were giving me problems at Grade II... hehe nice,"
"Don't forget you are still in a tournament, and everyone is watching you. Try not to show off too much, Now leave...
"Wait...
As Aizel's eyes fluttered open, he found himself lying in a comfortable bed, surrounded by the familiar surroundings of the castle room.
The soft sheets draped over him revealed that he was unclothed, a testament to the healing process he had undergone.
Daisy was sleeping peacefully next to him.
Aizel's gaze fell upon his regenerated arm, a testament to the potent healing properties of the potion he had ingested.
[Master, you are back]
Yes, and we have leveled up quite a bit,"
[Woah finally, Grade III]
Yes,"
"Ohh...mmmm.. you are up," Daisy said as she woke up from her sleep.
"Were you here with me all the time?" Aizel asked.
"I was worried and didn't feel comfortable leaving you alone." She replied.
Aizel embraced Daisy in a warm and loving hug. With a soft and caring gesture, he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Thank you, Daisy,"
"I was really scared. What if you haven't woken up? Now that the Queen is already after you, can't we run and escape from here?" Daisy asked.
"That is impossible for now. But I have planned something for our and the kid's safety in the future."
"Will you ask for help from others?" She asked.
"That is only the possible solution,"
"And what will they ask from you in return? To serve them or be a puppet?"
"I don't know, but we will think about that later. Let's just sleep first; it's still the middle of the night.
Daisy wrapped her arms around Aizel, and the two fell back into bed together, their bodies entangled.
But Aizel's cheeks turned a little red when he suddenly realized that he was naked.
[Master, once again, something is rising, and it is not the shield hero]
Daisy also realized this when she felt something near her private area.
"I am sorry; I didn't mean to do this. I will sleep while facing in the opposite direction," Aizel said.
As Aizel made a move to turn away, Daisy's touch halted him in his tracks.
She got out of bed with a determined look and gently pulled at the sheets, showing a sight that made Aizel's cheeks turn red. His manhood stood tall and proud in the room.
Aizel instinctively covered himself with his arms, while Daisy's gaze remained unwavering, and a mischievous smile graced her lips.
"W-What are you doing, Daisy?"
"I don't want Vespara to take you away from me. You belong to me,"
"T-this isn't like you, Daisy."
"Yes, but I can't trust Vespara. That's why I will make the move first."
[Go Go Daisy....]
Daisy moved closer to Aizel on the bed. Her hands, full of love and care, moved slowly and carefully toward his manhood.
This isn't looking good; should I really let her do it?"
As Daisy's hands moved with soft ease, Aizel felt something he had never felt before. The enchanting touch of her fingers sparked a cascade of emotions within him.
"Am I doing it right?" She asked
"Oh... you are doing great.. I think that's enough for now..ahhhh....
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly she put his manhood in her mouth and started to slowly suck it while her fingers gently stroked it.
"This is going too far, Daisy..mmmm... "
Daisy continued to suck, while her eyes gazed at Aizel.
As Aizel's emotions swirled within him, he found himself torn between two opposing thoughts.
On the one hand, he was unsure, thinking that maybe it was too soon for such intimacy between them.
Yet, on the other hand, he couldn't deny the pleasure and connection he felt as Daisy's actions unfolded.
In a moment of clarity, Aizel decided what to do and gently pulled Daisy away, bringing an end to the intimate encounter.
"Did I do it wrong?" She asked.
"N-No you were great; it's just that I still think it is too early for this Daisy."
"Why do you think like that?"
"Are you sure you won't get scared when I take the lead? Last time, you were not in your senses because of the Vespara potion.
"Can you still do it after what has happened to you in the past?" Aizel asked.
Daisy moved toward Aizel in a kind and gentle way, leaning against his shoulder in a tender hug. Her eyes closed, and she said with a soft smile, "I will never get scared or be afraid of you."
"Umm.. It really felt good after hearing that," Aizel replied with a smile.
"But still, it is too early and I am tired; please not today."
"Okay, if you say so, but you can't do it with Vespara first."
"I am not doing anything with that hag or any other girl ever. You are the only one."
*****
The Next Morning...
In the dining hall, the morning sun gave the room a warm glow that made it feel cozy. Aizel and Daisy ate their breakfast next to each other.
As the rest of their group trickled in, the air buzzed with energy about the day ahead. Everyone took their seats and stared at Aizel.
"Softie, are you feeling alright?" Hazel asked.
"Oh yeah, much better now."
"Here, drink this; it will help you refill your core energy a little faster," Hazel summoned and handed a potion flask to Aizel.
"Thank you, Ginger," AIzel took the potion and kept it for now.
"By the way, I won the bet right?" He asked, looking towards Zareena.
"Hmm... Never would I have thought you could make it out alive from that. Now I know why my father thinks highly of you.
She suddenly stood up and bowed a little toward Aizel.
"It seems I was wrong, and you truly deserve to be called War God. You won the bet, so you can ask me anything you want."
Oye oye oye, what happened to her?"
[This bitch is acting, I can't trust her]
