"Can it be that the reason I can not sense much aura coming from your body, is because you are so weak that you are unable to even unleash a small amount of power from your cultivation?" the shadowy figure asked Tommy as it started to unleash a dark laughter.Hearing the question which was more of an observation at this point, Tommy felt a little helpless in this scenario. It was clear that this shadowy figure that showed itself in front of him, was stronger than him just based off of the fact that it was able to sense Tommy"s pitiful cultivation rank.
"Back in my days, children who were born from the love of two cultivators, would be born into this world with a small piece of understanding concerning the heavens and how the world turned. It seems almost as if you were born in a mortal family, but you are still able to equip yourself with a weapon and decent clothes instead of rags."
The shadowy figure realizing that it hit a soft spot started to speak once again to Tommy. Now that it was trying its best to learn more about this human, it wanted to use all of the information it could in order to convince Tommy of something extremely important to it.
"Actually, if I were you, I would apologize to me this instant!" Tommy shouted out to the shadowy figure before rushing forward towards it. Swinging his weapon against the tree, the shadowy figure quickly retreated towards another tree in the area close by.
"I am Tommy of the powerful Sacred Flame clan in Maroon City and I will not stand by and allow someone like you to spew hateful words towards me or my parents!" Tommy called out towards the shadowy figure as he sheathed his weapon and continued to walk on the forest path towards the village which was now close by.
"Sacred Flame clan? I never heard of that clan back in my days. Maybe he has a bloodline that allows him to charge ahead of others if he is speaking in such a way. If that was the case, why am I still unable to sense a powerful aura from his body?" the shadowy figure started to ponder as it followed Tommy from a distance.
"First I lose my freedom by being forced into a marriage which I have no control over, and now I am being bullied by that weird figure who seems to only want to joke around taunt me." Tommy said to himself under his breath as he paused his movements once again.
Pulling out his sword again, Tommy started to aim it in the air before speaking once again. "One day I will prove everyone wrong and take charge of my own destiny once again!" he shouted out at the top of his lungs before putting his weapon away once again.
"If you are trying to take charge of your own destiny, I could definitely help you with such a meager thing. If I do that, you must promise to help accomplish a goal that I have for myself." the shadowy figure hearing Tommy"s declaration, called out to him before rushing over.
