The sun was in its descent, painting the sky a vibrant orange, Moon was sitting on a wooden chair at the porch of the old raggedy house, his chair swayed forward and backward making the the floor beneath him creak terribly.
He stretched his neck backwards then felt something snap in place and let out a sigh of relief.
"That felt good"
It had been three days since his duel with celeste, his wounds healed miraculously fast, thanks to becoming a true awakened but it still felt unpleasant to move around, so Atlas and celeste told him to use a few days to rest.
Which he wasn't at all opposed to, lying around doing nothing was a dream come true for him.
He took a sip of a brown liquid made with sugar, milk and a third thing he forgot "I think celeste called this tea, right" he shrugged, whatever it was it really relaxed him.
The soft gentle wind suddenly blow past him, caressing his entire body filling him with tranquility and peace.
Moon grinned "so this is how it feels"
To moon, all this felt like a reward for all his hard work, his reward for everything thing went through in the past, his reward for choosing to live.
He was almost overcome with the desire to stand up and scream 'look at me now' at the top of his voice but at the end he decided against it.
That would just be too embarrassing.
Though he was satisfied he was a bit perplexed normally awakens became true awakens by killing a monster finally reaching tier one but he had done it just by battling celeste.
Could it be celeste was a monster in disguise.
He shook his head chuckling at the thought, even if she was he didn't kill her so that ridiculous conclusion was invalid.
"Well the the voice said I was recognised so I guess I skipped the process" he smiled "sweet"
His face face suddenly contorted as if trying to understand something were there was nothing.
Well, at least that's how it would seemed to others but before him were a series of strange letters written on a blue window which he didn't recognise but understood.
Name: moon
Rank: Awakener tier l
Herald: [sealed]
Abilities: [Adaptation]
EX Abilities: [wolf in sheep's clothing]
Herald abilities:[contract invalid]
Items: ------
Moon stared at the runes a look of confusion slowly creeping it's unto his face, he could read it but really didn't know what any of it meant and he tried to ask Atlas and celeste for help but they simply said this.
'Never reveal anything about your blue mural or abilities to anyone or anything" So moon was left on his own.
He turned his gaze back unto the barren fields before him then suddenly an idea struck him like lightling, if he could summon the blue mural by his will then maybe he could get it to explain the same way.
He quickly summoned the blue window then focused on [Adaptation] and suddenly a tapestry of word appeared before him.
'The clueless cursed child wished to live as a human and before one can live one must survive'
Moon scoffed 'what did it mean by clueless I am actually quite knowledgeable and this isn't a curse it's a blessing'.
[Adaptation]----- your body will change based on your situation.
Moon could more or less understand what it meant, his body would change based on his environment to best fit his environment or if he was lucky to best fit his opponent, either way it was a great ability, not all awakened were built for combat.
Even though awakens were destined journey into lost worlds and battle monstrosities beyond human comprehension, some ignored the call or simply support led the battle awakened from the side lines and who could blame them, no one wanted to die by the claws of some monster, far away from home.
The awakens that chose to sacrifice themselves were the unusual ones since battle awakens normally met harrowing ends that would break the spirit of any man but in exchange they were celebrated as heroes and given so many privileges that moon didn't bother to count.
There was even a school dedicated to train such people.
But none of that concerned moon, he was going live in luxury now that he had become an awakened.
Moon continued reading and smiled at the sight of EX.
These were special abilities, that only the best of the best possessed, out of a thousand awakens only two to five would possess this kind of ability and now he was one if them.
Truly, this was a blessing.
[Wolf in sheep's clothing]---- due to your particular nature you will always be underestimated by the people and the world around you, only If a person knows your true nature with the reality be broken.
Moon frowned, a bit disappointed, it was a good ability, plus it was super rare but he kinda expected something more flashy.
He stood up from the chair and stretched "well if my luck is this good, I wonder what the future holds"
Saying that, he went back into the house and was immediately greeted by a beautiful western styled living, but this time instead of frowning, moon smiled, he had started to look forward to the house strange transformations.
He laid on the couch, riddled with strange patterns and closed his eyes.
"Tomorrow .... tomorrow will be another peaceful day, can't wait".
