Chapter 10: 2

"Are you a twin Arcana user?" Azzy asked while thinking that his Master is indeed amazing as everyone says.

He also got a bit disappointed after realizing that he didn't even care to learn about her powers.

Avia nodded to his question, "Yes." She unsummoned the twin daggers into the soul card that was hovering around her, and then, summoned a second soul card and took out a dark whip.

Its handle has a small metal skull on the bottom while the lengthy cord was covered in spikes.

As Azzy looked at the skull, he saw its eyes are glowing in red for a second before disappearing as if it was blinking.

"This is Hope's Ebon whip that I inherited from my mother's family. I call it 'Nightglow'. I can hit my enemies even if they are a mile away. And during the dark times, its power will multiply."

Azzy then remembered the times when some disciples were hit by the dark energy that looked like a whip when they tried to insult him during the times he was unknown to the clan.

More than the successor of the Garcia family, Azzy felt that they respected him more because of the protection by Avia Night.

But, right now, he also felt that she was unnecessarily bragging to him but maintaining his character, he never pointed it out and kept silent as usual.

Avia continued, "I should be thankful that I awakened our Night clan's treasured Night fangs or else, I would have been…"

She suddenly stopped and then said, "Anyway, let's get back to the topic. Now, where are we?"

Azzy answered, "Crescent Clan is over."

"Ah! That's right. The next is the Blood Clan. They are the complete opposite of us. If our clan never marries a powerful bloodline to preserve our bloodline, they are the ones, who never marry outsiders to maintain their purity.

Cousins are often engaged upon their birth and marry each other; in the rare case, siblings. That's why they are too less in number.

Unlike us who exile the people who disobey the rules of our clan, they execute them first, then refine them and turn them into something called blood source. You don't want to know about the details.

But, you should remember that if not for their fewer numbers, their strength might have crossed the combined strength of the other clans.

No one knows about their origins, not even their clan leader. They merged into the Death clan around 50,000 thousand years ago. Everyone in the clan has the same Arcana; their own blood."

"So, this so-called blood source will help them keep alive in case they lost too much blood?" Azzy quickly guessed that there's a connection between the blood source and their Arcana, the moment he heard what their Arcana is.

"That's right," Avia nodded in response, not getting surprised by his quick responses anymore. "In our every mission of assassination, there will be a member of Blood clan follow the team to refine the body and collect the blood source.

However, there's also a clan rule that they can't needlessly kill a person just so to collect the blood source. Strangely, they have a longer lifespan than a normal person, almost double.

Do you know their current clan leader is in the same generation as Clan head even though he's an eight-star Arcana Master, where the life limit was only supposed to be 5000 years?

The clan records say it's because they are consuming the life force of a person from the blood source."

Azzy nodded, indicating he understood on the outside, meanwhile, shaking his head inwardly as he thought, 'That's because they aren't humans. Their race is a Blood race, a mutated race formed from humans back during prehistoric times.

I wonder why their clan leader doesn't know when it was clearly written in the Book of Death. I wonder whether this book is more special than I thought.'

Avia continued with the next clan, "Next comes the Smoke clan. They specialize in healing and poisons. Most of them just stay as supporters.

Their Arcana like Crescent clan is nothing special. But, they do have the largest numbers, although still useless."

When she was describing the Smoke clan, Azzy felt a clear disgust in her tone like she's clearly looking down on them, although there's a faint arrogance.

"The last but not least, The Ash clan. They are the same as Crescent, collateral descendants of the founder from one of his concubines.

They are unique in their own way. They are called the clan of twins."

"Clan of twins?" Azzy went into his memories and remembered the information about the history of the clan.

It was founded by the twin sons of Azrael Garcia from his third mistress.

One of them inherited the death scythe from the founder and the other son inherited the Arcana of Ash.

Whenever the women of the Ash clan conceive a child, they will always turn out to be twins, and just like their clan founders, one inherits the Arcana of their father while the other receives their mother, in a rare case both receive twin Arcana.

"So, any doubts?" Avia asked after completing the clans' history details.

Out of all the complicated things, Azzy asked the most useless question that every eleven-year-old Arcana Master in the world knows except for him.

"Earlier, you said that you awakened the daggers after you awakened that whip? Does that mean, the twin Arcana users don't awaken two soul cards at once?"

At first, Avia was surprised but then, she remembered he did nothing but tempering his body for the past 3 years.

So, she explained to him patiently. "No, it doesn't work that way. To know of that, you should understand what is Soul card, first."

Azzy answered, "Grandpa told me that Soul card is the materialization of the Soul power which exists as a medium between Arcana and the soul power."

Avia nodded in response, indicating he was right. "Every person has two bloodlines within him that come from their father and mother respectively.

Most of the normal people get to born with low soul power, below 2, and both Arcana absorb the share of the energy, according to their capabilities to keep themselves alive.

When a person reaches the age of eight, the soul card will be formed and both of them fight against each other to get into it, no matter how minute or powerful they are.

Now, when they fight each other, each will be damaged in the process, and in the end, because of the low amount of soul power, they will disappear. All of it will happen in seconds of time.

That's why most people only bring out a blank soul card.

As for single Arcana users, one of their Arcana turns out to be stronger and kills the other before entering the soul card.

But, there are rare cases like two compatible Arcana, which don't fight against each other for a spot into Soul card. In those cases, they compromise and enter the Soul card together. They are the set Arcana. Like in your case. Mostly, it's only possible if both of them are of tool type.

Then, there are other cases where they will compromise in a different way. One will enter the Soul card and will be awakened and the other waits for its turn."

"Wait a second." Azzy suddenly interrupts with confusion, "Wait for their turn? Does that mean, there's a second awakening?"

"Yes," Avia nodded, and then, asked in return, "do you know why the restrictions for awakening are between the ages of 8 and 12?"

Azzy answered, "Grandpa told me that the soul card and the soul orb started to form at the age of four. And at the age of eight, the transparent soul orb will start to condense…"

His eyes widen in realization, "so, it's because of that, huh! Now, I understood. The Soul card usually stays inside the soul-orb, along with the soul energy/power.

At the age of 13, the soul orb becomes so thick that even if a Soul card forms again, it won't be able to penetrate the soul-orb and connect with soul power."

Avia nodded, feeling proud inside about this student of her, despite feeling frustrated at the same time knowing that she was fated to lose against him in the future, "Yes. The Soul card takes four years to form, no matter what kind of heavenly genius one is. This rule stayed absolute in the past hundred thousand years.

So, those who awakened their Arcana at the age of eight will get another chance to awaken their second Arcana again when they are twelve.

But, two awaken a second Arcana, one must fulfill either of two conditions.

One is to have two Arcana that are compatible with each other.

Two is to have the second Arcana that's still alive and recovered enough to penetrate the solid defense of the Soul orb."

Azzy quickly commented, "The second condition is too difficult."

"There's only a 1% chance of achieving such a condition. You can only hope on the first one. Like mine, the whip and the twin daggers belong to dark type and complement each other when I held both of them." Avia replied, agreeing with him while indirectly telling him to not have hope when he participates in the awakening ceremony, next year.

'Maybe I was affected by this explanation. Why do I feel like I possess a second Arcana?' A crazy hope developed in his mind, at the time.
