On March 23, 1993, in Bahageey City, around 06.00 a.m. ...

In the kitchen of Andark's house, there is a table and two chairs facing each other. The table and the chairs are placed in front of the washstand. On the right side of the washstand, there are a stove and an LPG gas cylinder under the stove.

Andark, who is now 38 years old and wearing his Bothyzard Robe, is sitting on one of the chairs. He is eating a plate of rice mixed with chicken noodle on the table. There is another plate with the same food in front of him.

Suddenly, Garuvy appeared from the kitchen door in front of the stove. She approaches Andark from the left side.

"Good morning, Mr. Andark," Garuvy greeted with a smile.

After hearing that, Andark stops eating and turns to Garuvy. She is now a 14-years old teenage girl. She is wearing white shirt and blue skirt. Her black-blue hair grows longer.

Her hairstyle resembles her mother; her bangs are hanging over her eyes and she wears a light blue hairpin on her right bang to make it swept behind her right ear. However, unlike her mother, she doesn't have ear piercings.

"Good morning," Andark replied.

Garuvy joins Andark for breakfast by sitting on the chair in front of him. They are chatting while eating.

"Do you know what day it is?" Andark asked.

"Yes. Today is Lyos' birthday," Garuvy replied.

"Ooh .... So, you still remember?" Andark asked with a smile.

"Of course! He is my first close friend, so how could I not remember?" Garuvy replied with a smile.

"*chuckle* Is that so? I thought that you will eventually forget him because you now have many close friends in your school, right?"

"Yeah .... Some are friendly, and some are annoying. Most of them are just ordinary people. They're not Bothyner Prodigies like me and Lyos. That's why I can remember him forever!" Garuvy explained.

"Yes, but don't be too arrogant. The world is filled with painful realities," Andark said.

"I know," Garuvy said.

"Tomorrow is your birthday. It's only a day after Lyos' birthday."

"Yes .... I don't understand why it could be like that, but ... I'm happy to know it," Garuvy said with a smile.

"Yeah, I know how you feel, but don't be too excited just yet. Tomorrow you will turn 15, right?"

"Yes."

"Your Bothroller will be active, so you will suffer from Bothyner Disorder."

"... Ah ... yes .... Then I will be quarantined in a barrier, right?"

"Right. Tonight, we will go to open area outside of this city. We will be accompanied by my Bothyzard friends, Goode and Lighel. Goode will make the barrier for you, and Lighel will help me and Goode to defeat the incoming Bothytures," Andark explained.

"Tonight?" Garuvy asked.

"Yes. Your Bothyner Disorder will be active at 0.00 a.m. We need to prepare ourselves before that, or your Gravity Bothyner will destroy this house," Andark replied.

"Oh ... okay ... but ... Bothyner Disorder will last for 7 days, right? What about my school time?"

"Don't worry. All schools in Bothyzard Region already know about Bothyner Disorder since a long time ago. I will talk to the headmaster of your school about this. He will definitely allow you to skip class for 7 days."

"Is that so ...?"

Garuvy seems sad and looking down.

"... I've never skipped class before .... I feel like I become a varmint ...."

"Hey, it's okay. Every Bothyzard in this world have experienced it before. You can't run from it," Andark said with a smile.

"... Lyos is currently experiencing it, right?"

"No. he didn't suffer from Bothyner Disorder."

Garuvy turns to Andark.

"What!?" Garuvy is surprised.

"Lyos' Bothroller is different from most Bothyzards. I have seen him practicing his Fire Bothyner manipulation. He unleashed his Fire Bothyner for the first time when he is 10 years old, right after his birthday. I visited his house to celebrate his tenth birthday," Andark explained.

Entering flashback scenes ...

On March 23, 1988, in Seejahter City, around 06.00 p.m. ...

In Lyos' bedroom, there are 10-years old Lyos, 33-years old Clara and 33-years old Andark sitting on a carpet. In the middle of them, there is a table with a chocolate birthday cake placed on it. On the cake there is a candle shaped like number 10. The top of the candle is already on fire.

"Happy birthday to you ..." Clara said.

"Happy birthday to you ...!" Andark said.

"Happy birthday ... happy birthday ..." Clara said.

"Happy birthday to you ...!" Andark said.

"Come on! Blow out the candle!" Clara said with a smile.

Lyos blows out the candle with the wind from his mouth. After that, Clara and Andark clap their hands.

"Now, what do you wish for your birthday gift, Lyos?" Clara asked with a smile.

"I want to ... learn how to control my Fire Bothyner," Lyos replied.

Andark and Clara are confused.

"It's still too early for you. Wait until you turn 15. You will suffer from Bothyner Disorder before you can unleash and control your Bothyner," Andark said.

"But ... when the Slaboths attacked my house in Gryllia, I could unleash my Bothyner," Lyos said.

Clara and Andark remain silent for a while.

"Well, we still can't understand the power of Bothyner Prodigy ..." Clara said.

"... Maybe he could unleash it now. I'll try to take him outside of the city for training," Andark said.

"Wait, that's dangerous! He's still a child!" Clara felt annoyed.

"Don't worry. I can protect him," Andark said.

"Why don't we ask Haydrow?" Clara suggested.

"Haydrow is now hiding in a secret place. We can't just go to his place and ask something trivial," Andark refused.

"But ..." Clara seems worried.

"It's okay, Clara. I can ensure his safety. Trust me," Andark tried to calm her down.

Clara remains silent for a while.

"... Okay .... Make sure you come back here with him," Clara agreed.

"Thank you," Andark felt relieved.

Andark stands up. Lyos and Andark are facing each other.

"Okay, Lyos, follow me. You want to control your Bothyner, right?" Andark asked.

"Yeah!" Lyos replied with excitement.

Andark turns to Clara.

"Clara, if you want, I can call my Bothyzard friend so you can accompany us and watch your son unleashing his Bothyner for the first time," Andark suggested.

"No, thanks. What I want is the safety of both of you," Clara refused.

"Okay, then," Andark said.

"I'm staying here to look after the cake. You two should come back safely or I'll eat the cake alone," Clara said.

"Hey, that's my cake!" Lyos felt annoyed.

"Sorry, Lyos, but if you died, you can't eat the cake, right?" Clara said with a smile.

Andark is astonished and smiling at the same time.

"... Fine .... We will come back soon, so you won't eat the cake at all," Andark said.

"What? No! I will get a slice of the cake later!" Clara said.

Andark quickly leaves the room. Clara and Lyos are confused affer seeing his action. Lyos quickly follows Andark.

On the street, Andark is already wearing his Bothyzard Robe and riding on a Bothasus. Lyos is on the same Bothasus and sitting behind Andark. When they reached the corner of Seejahter City, they are approaching the two male Bothyzards who are guarding the blue barrier.

When Andark and Lyos are facing the two Bothyzards, Andark points his right palm at his chest.

"Shadow Bothyner: Aura Release: Right Hand," Andark spoke in thought.

Blue aura appeared around Andark's right hand. After seeing that, the two Bothyzards are doing the same thing; pointing their right palms at their chest and unleashing blue aura around their right hands.

After a few minutes, Andark and the two Bothyzards lower their right hands.

"Shadow Bothyner: Aura Release: Deactivate," Andark spoke in thought.

The blue aura around Andark's right hand disappeared. The same thing also happened for the two Bothyzards' right hands.

One of the two Bothyzards approaches the barrier and places his right hand on it. With his right hand, he could make a big hole on the barrier. The hole is big enough for Andark, Lyos and the Bothasus they ride to pass through.

The two Bothyzards stay away from the hole, so that Andark and Lyos can go through it. After that, they reached the open field outside the city. They went to the place quite far from the city and stopped there.

Andark makes the Bothasus sits on the ground before he and Lyos get off the Bothasus. After they got off, the Bothasus stands up. Lyos turns to Andark.

"Now what, Mr. Andark?" Lyos asked.

"Now stretch your hand forward," Andark replied.

"Which hand?" Lyos asked again.

"Any hand is fine," Andark replied.

Lyos stretches his left hand to Andark.

"Hey, don't kill me! Point it to the empty place!" Andark felt annoyed.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Lyos turns around.

"If you could unleash your Bothyner, then your guess was right. If not, then you must wait for another 5 years," Andark explained.

"How do I unleash it?" Lyos asked.

"Say "Fire Bothyner: Left Hand" in your mind," Andark replied.

"Okay," Lyos said.

"Fire Bothyner: Left Hand," Lyos spoke in thought.

Blue fireball appeared from Lyos' left hand. It moves to the lower right of the hand and hits the ground. After that, there are blue flames on the ground. Lyos and Andark are speechless for a few minutes.

"I ... I did it! I unleashed it!!" Lyos seems excited.

Lyos lowers his left hand and turns to Andark.

"Did you see that, Mr. Andark!?" Lyos said with excitement.

"This is the first time in history! I should report this to the headquarters!" Andark spoke in thought.

"Mr. Andark?"

"Oh, yes. What is it?"

"Did you see that before?"

"Yes .... You haven't turn 15 yet, but you have unleashed your Bothyner. It seems like you're the first Bothyzard descendant who could do it," Andark explained.

"Oh, yeah? What about Brother Haydrow?" Lyos asked.

"Well, I haven't asked him yet. The Bothyzards will discuss about that in the headquarters, so you don't have to worry. Now, can we go home?"

"No! I still want to practice here!"

"This is a dangerous place, Lyos ...."

"Yeah, but you will protect me, right?"

"... Fine, but don't stay here for too long, okay?"

"Okay ...."

Lyos turns around and stretches his left hand.

"Fire Bothyner: Left Hand," Lyos spoke in thought.

Blue fireball appeared from Lyos' left hand and moves to upper left of the hand. It eventually goes down to the ground and creates blue flames.

"... The direction is different from the previous one .... How come?" Lyos asked.

"When a Bothyzard unleashed Bothyner for the first time, he or she cannot control the direction properly. You can't just say the Bothyner Spell in your mind. You must feel the Bothyner," Andark explained.

"Is that so?" Lyos said.

Lyos unleashes blue fireball from his left hand. It moves to the upper middle of the hand, like a cannon ball.

"How can I feel it ...?" Lyos seems disappointed.

"Controlling Bothyner is like moving your body parts, but it's harder. It's controlled with your Bothroller. You have to get used to it," Andark explained.

Lyos remains silent for a while. After that, he unleashes the blue fireball again. it moves to the lower middle of the hand.

"... Looks like my status as Bothyner Prodigy didn't give me privilege ..." Lyos said.

"Well, it's good for you. It can make you work harder," Andark said.

"... I'll try to use my right hand ..." Lyos said.

Lyos lowers his left hand and stretches his right hand before unleashing blue fireball. It moves to the lower right of the hand. Lyos unleashes it again, and it moves to the middle left of the hand.

"It doesn't make any difference ..." Lyos said.

"Of course! How could you think it will make any difference?" Andark asked.

"I just want to try ..." Lyos replied.

Lyos unleashes the blue fireball and it moves to the middle of the hand before going down to the ground.

"Huh? It could go straight!" Lyos seems excited.

After Lyos unleashed the blue fireball again, it moves to the middle right of his right hand.

"Aaaah ..." Lyos seems disappointed.

Lyos keeps unleashing blue fireballs from his right hand. Sometimes, it could move straight, but it often moves to other directions.

"I know how you feel ... but don't take too long .... Huh ...?" Andark said.

Andark saw some Bothytures from afar.

"Stop, Lyos! You stay here!" Andark said.

"What?" Lyos is confused.

Lyos stops unleashing blue fireballs. He lowers his right hand. Andark runs towards the Bothytures, leaving Lyos behind with the Bothasus.

There are 4 Bothygers, 4 Botholves and 4 Bothigeyes. Bothigeye is the abbreviation of "Bothyner Big Eye".

It's a spider-like creature with four legs, blue body shaped like a ball and a big eye on the body. The big eye has light blue sclera and blue eyeball.

While Andark is running towards the Bothytures ...

"Shadow Bothyner: Shadow Creation: Right Hand, Left Hand," Andark spoke in thought.

Blue shadows appeared from Andark's right palm and left palm. The blue shadows are floating, but still connected to Andark's palms.

"Shadow Bothyner: Shadow Fist," Andark spoke in thought.

The blue shadows turn into blue arms with fists, called blue fist shadows. The blue fist shadows grow bigger. The size of the fists is as big as Andark's stomach.

To be continued.
