Beginning of War by Abiran Raveenthiran (jenna bush book club .txt) 📕

replied Vivaan.
Okay, then we will attack from very far or close. Our first hit should be a strong one and kill numerous troops are at least stun them.

replied Aalok. I had to agree with him it was a good idea for now. Avni stay in the forest and try to heal us once the battle begins with spells and try to attack from far.

Avni instantly left to find a hiding spot where no one would find her.
I will take the aircrafts

I replied. I could sense the others agreed with this tactic.
Vivaan attack the troops on foot with me. Shaurya create a maze with your walls to confuse them and separate from the package. The package is in a big vehicle. Aarav before you go to attack the aircrafts send some of you tornadoes to cause a lot of damage.

With that everyone departed. I used the tornadoes and moved them to cause some damage. Along with the tornadoes I also sent Serpent. Serpent probably did more damage than the tornadoes to start off with. He ripped many of the bodies to shreds and left a bloody trail. Then I saw Vivaan and Aalok begin to attack. With that I left to go guard the skies. I saw a jet manoeuvring closer to the ground so I flew to it, grabbed it with my teeth and bit into it. I had not realized that my jaws were so strong. I crunched into the jet like crunching into an apple. It was so easy. Many of the aircrafts saw me and came charging towards me. There were a lot more than I had expected.
I tore through many of the aircrafts like a person ripping paper. I shredded and clawed through many of them. Then they began firing missiles. I dodged many of them and redirected a few to hit other aircrafts. My energy was being drained but I could not do anything about it. I felt powerless and weak. I could not stop fighting, not at a crucial moment like this. I fought on and hard. I could feel some of them breaking through my armour. I had only about ten left when I could fight no longer. All the missiles hit me and I did not have the energy to move. The pain was too great. I started falling. I knew it was my job to handle the aircrafts. I mustered up the little bit of energy left while falling and attacked. I opened my mouth and breathed ice. I froze all of the aircrafts and they also began to descend with me.
What just happened? I attacked with ice. I thought I was a water type. I would have been so happy if it was not for the fact that I was falling and had not energy left to be happy. With that my eyes closed. I could feel my body speed up towards the ground. This was it.
Aarav.

I heard a voice in my head. Aarav it’s time to evolve.
Avni is that you?

Yes. It is time to evolve. You see that crest.

I saw a picture in my mind but in all the confusion I could only wonder what she was talking about. I am already fully evolved and in adult form. I could feel my body accelerating towards the ground.
I am going to engrave it in you okay.

said Avni.
Okay. But why? I did not even get a reply back. Before I knew it I could feel my skin ripping to form the pattern from the crest. It hurt tremendously but I did not have the energy to scream. I did not even have the energy to resist.
Once the crest was done being drawn I could feel my energy comeback and more. It was so much power. So much energy. I could feel the overflow of energy flowing through my veins. I could feel my energe body changing. The material of my armour began to cover my whole body. Even the tips of my wings. The only thing left exposed was my wings and eyes. I grew some arms under my wings. They were not very long but were very strong. The crest stayed permanently on my chest but was slightly a different shade of white than the colour of the armour on my chest. The armour was spiky all over and gave a lot of extra protection. My tail turned into a trident and each longer piece was a drill. My shoulders of my arms had extra spikes coming out of the side. I felt my chest area becoming wider with muscle. I was a whole new energe. I knew I had a whole new power that I could possess now.
Avni, what happened? I asked her so confused and thankful.
You evolved. I found the crest in a book in the library with all of the information. The Legendaries get to evolve more than regular energes.
Thank you. That was all the explanation I needed.
With that I helped Aalok and Vivaan with the troops on the ground. I tore many of their heads off before they knew what hit them. I attacked with jets of water from my mouth. I saw the vehicle ahead. Shaurya had done a good job with the mazes. There were only a few troops that had found their way back to the vehicle. It indeed was a very big vehicle. It moved very slowly and was probably the size of a house. The whole outside was made of metal. I punched through the metal and made a hole big enough for me to squeeze through.
I came through and what I saw on a pedestal was actually a package. When Aalok said it was a package I did not expect it to actually be in a box with a stamp and everything. I picked it up with stop by a black hand with claws. Hsssssss. Nice try.

It said in my head. How is it talking to me? I should probably attack it before it attacks me. Let’s try to freeze. I sent out energy the same way I had done it the first time. It worked. The ice covered the whole monster. It was a weird monster. It looked all wrong. I saw some of the ice begin it crack. It was going to escape.
With that I burst out of the vehicle and contacted everyone. I got it lets bounce.

I waited at a café until everyone arrived. I held the package in my hands thinking what it could be. It flipped it carefully to see what was in it. I did not think I should open it wondering what it was. I even shook it but there was no sound. I heard the café door open and looked up. Everyone was walking in at the same time. “What now?” I asked Aalok.
“Wait here and guard the box I will be back. I have to inform Neel and some other people and I will be back.” With that Aalok left running as fast as he could.
“What do you guys think is in the box?” I asked them out of curiosity. “Curiosity killed that cat” said Shaurya. He was probably right. I would ask Neel when he returned.
“Avni, how did you do that?” I asked. The whole evolution process was unbelievable I felt so powerful. I had not felt like that since I first changed in my energe form. “I found it in books in the library. I did not want to bring it up until I was sure about the information. I asked Neel about it and he said that only after an intense battle and an enormous amount of experience can help to satisfy the requirement to evolve. The level is called master level.” Avni gave a lot of information and I needed time to process everything.
“Could we also evolve?” asked Vivaan.
“Not yet. You still have not met the requirements. Neel told me that so far the only person who had me the requirements was Aarav.” Avni replied.
Suddenly a black hand grabbed my face. We were so caught up in the conversation we were not cautious of our surroundings. I could not resist the people as the troops tie all of us to many parts of the café. The people originally here had disappeared and only left us. I could not move the rope was so strong. I just realized that they were not ropes at all but pieces of metal that cut into our skin when we resisted. How had this happened in such a short amount of time? Aalok is going to kill us? During the whole chaotic mess I had left the package on a table. The monster with the black hand with claws took the package and left with all the troops. We had worked so hard and poof we lost everything in a matter of seconds.
Many hours past and we all stayed quietly ashamed of what had just happened. Then Aalok walked through the doors of the café wide eyed. He looked around and knew what happened. He walked backwards out of the café unable to believe what had happened. After he disappeared through the doors we heard a loud roar. It was so enraged. No one had the guts to ask him to free us but before I was able to ask he was long gone.

AARAV
How could those idiots mess up their first task? It was such a simple task; guarding a box. I had to work with these idiots. This is not going to work I am going to find a different way to get revenge on the evil doers.
I kept running the forest and destroyed everything in my way. I burned them into ashes. I finally came across a bar. I probably needed a few drinks to calm my mind. I walked into the bar and realized that I had crossed countries. I was in the country of Rajas. I had heard many stories of this
