Bloodbound Secrets

After Sakura left, Roy sat for a few moments and then decided that he needed to get stronger, so he put on his coat and went out to an abandoned neighborhood to train. He noticed strange changes in his body, his strength and speed had increased significantly, and he no longer felt as tired as he used to.

During his training, a group of bandits appeared, surrounding him and laughing, thinking that he was just a weak boy. One of them tried to rob him, but Roy moved abnormally fast and landed a single punch that knocked him to the ground motionless. Within moments, the rest fell one by one. Roy stood over them, breathing deeply, and realized that he was no longer a normal human.

After defeating them easily, he decided to walk around the neighborhood for a bit. While passing by a clothing store, he went in to buy some new clothes. When he came out, he spotted a small shop selling accessories and gifts. Looking at a silver necklace decorated with a red stone, he remembered his mother and decided to buy it as a gift to make up for his lie and going out without her permission.

When he approached the house, he decided to enter through the window so that his mother would not discover that he had gone out, but he felt strange when he did not find her at home. He sat waiting, then fell asleep, expecting her to return early in the morning.

With the first light of the sun, Roy woke up and realized that his mother had not returned yet. He rushed outside, looking in all directions, then shouted in a desperate voice:

"Mommyyy!!!"

But no one answered him, the place was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a person appeared at lightning speed, carrying a body in his hand.

It was Sebastian, standing in front of Roy, his eyes carrying a look of regret, and in his arms was Sakura, her body lifeless and covered in blood. In a heavy tone, he said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, son... I couldn't save her in time."

Roy stood frozen, his eyes wide, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. His body began to tremble, he tried to speak, but words failed him. He ran towards Sebastian, his voice filling the room with anger and madness:

"Get mom off your hands!!!"

He grabbed her and shook her violently, screaming:

"Mom!! Mom!!"

But she didn't respond...just a cold corpse.

He fell to his knees, tears streaming from his eyes, whispering in a choked voice:

"No...this is impossible..."

He raised his head with teary eyes, his voice shaking:

"Who...did this?"

Sebastian answered him in a dark voice:

"One of Taiga's assassins...the king of this region."

A heavy silence fell for a few moments...then suddenly, a terrifying black aura exploded from Roy, spreading like a storm, making the winds rage and the ground shake.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed in surprise as he watched this terrifying power:

"What is this energy...?"

Roy slowly got up, his eyes filled with anger and hatred, then muttered in a low voice but carrying a deadly threat:

"I swear... I will kill whoever did this..."
