CHAPTER 3 - THE HOODED FIGURE
''And for our next demonstration, my sister here will astound you with our latest trick that is sure to blow your minds'' the boy announced to the small crowd that had formed. The twins wore what looked like swimsuits but with moving lights that coursed throughout their bodies. The female began dancing as new music was played. She moved around in slow motion, waving her hands and legs as if she was a swan, it was impressive, the girl was clearly experienced but then she did something that shocked everyone that had gathered.
As she seemed to reach the climax of her dance she suddenly had spikes growing out of her body, one by one, green looking pointy objects grew out of her arms and legs. Allen opened his mouth in awe, he had never seen such a thing before, was everyone at FLOVEN capable of such feats?
Damien nodded and clapped along with the crowd as everyone was hugely impressed of the performance and they began throwing credit discs at the twins. Credit discs were what was used for money in this generation, they resembled floppy discs but miniature in size and just five of the discs could afford an individual a home in Varken, though it'd take about thousands more for one to live uptown where the rich and elite lived, where both Damien and Allen lived.
''How do you think she did that?'' Allen later asked as they headed towards the main shaft.
''Must be a trick to it, no one can do that'' Damien said and Allen rose his eyebrow ''have you forgotten about your father?'' he said. Damien smiled and shrugged ''I guess there are a lot of things we don't know about the world'' Allen grinned, Damien's father was definitely a man of wonders.
''By the way, I want you to help me do something'' Damien said when they finally reached the elevator shaft ''what?'' Allen asked suspiciously. Damien smiled ''why do you always think its something bad?'' he pushed him a little, Allen knew that anything his best friend thought of was irrevocably bad and dangerous. The elevator began to move upwards and Damien said with a wolfish smile ''let's go to the Builder Territory''
Allen looked at his friend in pure shock ''that's by far the worst idea you could've thought of, its even more dangerous than The Shack, the Builders don't like us Varkenians, how much more royals?'' Allen blurted ''don't joke about stuff like that''
Damien grinned and said ''The symbol of Nevins means that you have to be courageous always, even when you have wimps like a Treasure as your best friend'' Allen shook his head as his eye caught the fire symbol on Damien's sleeves, it was clearly a symbol of the Nevins.
Allen had researched on how exactly Damien's father was able to do the things he did, how was he able to produce fire at will from his body, scientists had tried to discover what exactly triggered such power in a human body but one by one they all failed. It all happened after a mission that Damien's father partook in, the hunters were away for almost a year and the citizens of Varken were completely in the dark about the reason for such a long mission. It was also the longest year for both Damien and Allen without their two fathers.
Allen always dreaded hearing bad news, he dreaded that he'd hear Christopher, the current ruler of Varken say that the hunters lost their lives in a tragic battle or ambush beyond the city perimeters but eventually, right before the fall season, his father and Damien's arrived safely. Details regarding that mission were never made public but it was that particular mission that led to the current abilities that David possessed.
