A brigth born passion

Another day had arrived to Kolissíao, the sun rising above he Bear pack's cave, a dim light shining through the entrance, then young boy Ikara woke up yawning a bit and rubbing one of his eyes while he looked around for a couple of seconds, letting out a small sigh finding himself still in there.

After that he could hear steps coming towards his room, making him tilt his head for a moment, standing up from his bed and stretching a little bit, "hello?" he said as he walked over to the door, seeing Alfan walking over towards him and tilting his head for a moment "Oh... hi mister Alfan. Good morning" he said.

"I told you baby bear, you can just call me Alfan" the man said as he placed a hand on top of his head, making the boy close his eyes for a moment, soon looking back up and nodding lightly "can we get back to training?" he asked softly twiddling his fingers a bit, "be patient baby bear, we need to eat first "he responded, taking the boy to the kitchen.

In there Katherine as well as the other kids were waiting for them, the blonde woman cooking a large animal with some fruits on the table where Blake, Lucy, Adam and Ziera, "morning "Ikara said softly as he walked to the table, sitting down between the others while everyone said their respective hellos.

"Good morning baby bear, how did you sleep?" Katherine asked him, "I slept alrigth..." he spoke, soon the smell of the food was caught by his nose, making him turn instantly to it "that.... That looks very yummy..." he spoke, making the woman giggle a bit "well then, you came just in time because breakfast is ready!" she said causing both Adam and Lucy to cheer.

Soon after that the blonde woman cut the animal into pieces and served each of them a piece of different sizes, which caused Ikara to tilt his head when noticed the difference of his portion and the one of Alfan, causing the man to looks back down at him "is something wrong baby bear?" he asked him, to which the boy tensed up a bit.

"a...ah well ...uh... I just thought ... my piece looked a bit small compared to the one you have" the boy said rubbing the back of his head nervously "are you sure you could eat something of that size?" he asked, "I can try... I haven't eaten like this in days... besides it's the first time I see you bringing something like this" he said.

Alfan thought for a moment humming slightly and then turning back down at him, "very well then, let's see it baby bear" he spoke, cutting a big block of meat and placing it in front of the boy, his eyes became wide in reaction "woah..." he said and almost instantly after began to chew away on it.

"Oh my god what are you kid" Blake said raising eyebrow as he watched the little boy wildly eating away the big block of meat in front of him, meanwhile Ziera giggled a little watching as well while Katherine crossed her arms a bit "Alfan dear are you sure it's a good idea to feed him something so big? He might have problems later" she said.

"He seems fine to me, but we will have to find out with me Katherine, after all we still know very little about him" Alfan responded as he placed his hand over his head as he ate happily.

Soon everyone finished their food, but before Ikara could get out of his chair Katherine sat in front of him with a towel, starting to clean his face since it had gotten sloppy from the meal, "h,,hey! What are you doing?" he protested "no training until you're clean" she spoke, making the boy huff and look away letting her continue.

When his face was finally cleaned Katherine sighed in relief "there's your bright little face" she said and kissed his forehead "you can go now baby bear" she said, Ikara smiled a bit and stood up "thanks mom!" he said in instinct before covering his mouth realizing what he said "u...uh, I gotta go now" he said quickly running out of the kitchen.

Katherine watched him with a smile on her face and her hands together, sniffing a little bit and letting out a small giggle, seeing the boy so innocently call her mom after knowing her for so little made her hearth warm, just like how it felt every time another of her kids called her that.

Shortly after Ikara exited the cave and approached Alfan who was waiting for him there, "alrigth I'm ready!" the boy said standing in front of the tall man "very well then, you will try to land a hit on me once more, try to keep your temper under control" the man said getting on a stance.

"Okay!" the orange eyed male said and wasted no time to rush at him, attempting a kick on the side but it was quickly blocked, in response Ikara used his other leg to hit with his knee towards his stomach, yet again his attack was stopped once again, he landed back down with a small growl.

He jumped back up and started to send fists towards him, all of them being blocked by the man's arms, not making him move back an inch, and the boy was started to get more frustrated by the lack of progress he was feeling, his punches getting charged with energy as his growled increasingly.

Alfan noticed this so he stopped the boy's hands keeping his still for a moment, then kicking him on the stomach and letting him go, being send back by the force and coughing out air as he fell on his back, "you're letting your anger take control to quick" he said "if you lack control the power that emotion gives will be useless... so now told me what do you feel".

But the boy only heard the last part, the rush of this situation was different, it was something that he hadn't feel in any of the previous training, at first it was rage, but the feeling of having someone to reach... that feeling of a battle to overcome, it awakened something in the boy, an adrenaline filled joy with which the he could only start laughing "I... I feel great!" he said standing up shaky much to Alfan's surprise.

"Excuse me?" he said at first thinking he heard him wrong, "I feel great Mister! I feel amazing!... this... I don't know what this is, but I like it... I like fighting, I wanna be able to reach you!" exclaimed with a wide smile as his eyes shimmered a brighter orange, this wasn't rage anymore, it was a newborn passion.

Without a warning Ikara rushed forward once more, jumping at the man who got ready to block an attack, but the boy jumped on his head to get behind him and kick at the back of his neck, this shocked the tall man but he still managed to block the kick, in response Ikara send another punch, which was quickly avoided, the boy landed back on the ground and then launch himself towards his back attempting to hit him with his head.

So, to stop this Alfan turned back around and stopped his head on his hands, picking the boy up and throwing him away, but this time the boy didn't stay down too much, he quickly jumped back up with smile on his face "again!" he spoke and ran back at him.

This time the boy created to energy orbs on his hands and shoot them at Alfan, showing that his training with Blake had paid off so far, even if he could only make small spheres. Alfan quickly swiped them away with a hand charged off energy, Ikara charging at him again but being stopped by another kick, this time on his side "alrigth Ikara, I think we should stop for now"

"Stop!?" Ikara said standing up quickly again, the adrenaline helping him ignore the pain for now "But I'm having so much fun! We can't top yet anyways! I have not been able to hit you once yet! I need to reach you if want to hope to ever find my sister and brother! And I will! Mister Alfan I will reach you before you know it and find my family!" Ikara spoke and then pointed forward at him "Remember that!" he announced, pure passion and bliss on his voice.

Alfan was stunned at this, never before he had seen such fire in someone so young, almost like if fighting had finally turned a switch on him, at such devoted resolve Alfan could only smile and comply, getting on stance "let's continue then" he spoke.

Ikara's smile became even wider, rushing back at the man, continuing to try to hit him, again and again, kicks and punches being all avoided and blocked just like before, but this didn't stop the boy, each time he got hit down he would stand back up saying "again!" time after time, it as almost as if all his problems and worries were gone at that moment, he excitement and bliss filled his soul regardless of how many times he was falling.

After many tries, Ikara fell once more, shakily trying to stand up once more, "Baby bear... I think that's enough, you have already done great, we can try again tomorrow" he said, only earing a small chuckle from the boy, getting up once more with his eyes white, somehow he was still moving even while unconscious "that's silly dad..." he said in instinct just like before "I can't give up... ever" he added", raising his hand and creating another orb of energy, launching it in a curve to the right as the boy moved in the opposite direction.

"What." Alfan said, not expecting the boy to still be able to move let alone use energy attacks, so when the sphere moved at him from the right, he had to move quickly to stop it, not noticing that Ikara had already approached him from the left, his eyes widening in surprise feeling the boy's fist on his face, making him finally stumble back a bit.

"I did it dad... I did it..." he said, almost instantly fainting and falling limp, still breathing luckily. Alfan regained himself, looking down at the already asleep kid, rubbing the side of his face "incredible... simply incredible" he said smiling a little, picking the boy up and taking him back inside of the cave.

On that day a passion as bright as the sun was born.

But at the same time, something equally as grand but way darker did as well.

On a wretched and stained planet, a boy almost identical to Ikara was sitting in the middle of a pile of bodies, none of them moving except the one he was standing over, the person was crying in fear while his head was bellow his foot "p..please! please no let me live ! I promise you'll never see me again I promise! I prom- "his pleads for mercy were soon stopped as his skull was crushed.

"Yeah..." the young male said as a wicked smile formed on his face, layingdown on top of the bodies "I think this is good" he spoke while chuckling,turning into a laugh to this sky, a simply whimsical, yet sinister laugh.
