My Vampire Awakening Chapter 4 (Patreon)

All of Galen’s body was glowing with white energy while the shadow dome was still in place. The power that covered him inside and out was celestial energy, a power that was rarely seen, and next to no one knew about.

Galen looked at the beast, and then positioned his hand in the air. A shadow portal had appeared, and the next moment, Galen was falling out of the portal right above the beast.

Its whiskers were still electrifying itself, and soon its whole body let out a devastating shock. Galen’s entire body disappeared for a moment as the electric shock shook the whole dome.

From the outside though, all people could see was the shadow dome and had no clue what was taking place inside. Once the attack stopped, Galen appeared out of the shadow, and both of his hands were covered in the shadow.

With the power of the shadow, they had been enlarged to a great size, nearly five times as big, and the celestial energy was still covering the outside of them.

As Galen fell to the ground, he then pounded the beast with his two giant arms, and the energy exploded onto the beast, forcing its head to hit against the hard ground. 

With the celestial energy, it wasn’t just Galen’s strength or body that was enhanced, but he found his abilities were stronger as well. He could use the shadow power in similar ways as his father could.

Detaching it and opening up shadow portals. The main use of celestial energy though, was that it was an energy that beasts, humans, and those with powers were unable to counter against—a pure form of energy that heavily hurt those they fought against.

“There’s a reason why people stopped invading Earth,” Galen said as he landed on the ground. “This was a place that God Slayers, Demonic Beasts, and not even Celestials themselves could survive. You chose the wrong place to attack!” Galen said as he charged forward.

The crowd from outside were carefully watching from afar in their buildings and more. Vehicles had approached the attacked area, and by now the Order had even arrived. Yet they didn’t dare move close, wondering what was happening on the inside.

After five minutes, the shadow dome started to break apart and disappear. The people braced themselves, worried for the beast to go on a rampage.

When the shadow dome completely fell though, the only thing that was inside was a fallen beast laying on its side, with no sign of life. The Order quickly moved in and cleared the area, but the most shocking thing to them was the fact that there was no one else—there was just the beast.

On the rooftop, around a kilometer away, a small circular shadow could be seen. It eventually stopped in the center, and right out of it Galen had appeared. Immediately he fell to his knees as he popped out.

‘I don’t use celestial energy that much… and it always feels weird around my body… it’s almost fighting against something inside me,’ Galen thought as he placed his hand over one of his eyes.

He squinted hard a few times, and even ran his fingers across his teeth, but there was nothing there. After just a few seconds of rest he stood up and looked into the direction of where the beast had fallen.

“It’s a shame, I would have liked to have created a beast weapon out of its crystal, but I couldn’t stay there. If they found out I was able to kill a Demi-god tier beast, there would just be too many questions,” Galen thought.

“I just have to be happy with the fact that so few people were able to get hurt.”

Thanks to his shadow abilities, he could use his skill shadow travel. Sinking into the ground into his own shadow, the shadow could freely move as a spot on the ground. It was great for escaping and getting into areas he shouldn’t be in.

“I do wonder though, what happened to make a beast appear like that?” Galen said.

Clap Clap Clap

“That was a good performance!” a man’s voice said.

Galen immediately turned his head and could see a blond man in a white suit standing on the edge of the building, clapping. Galen had never seen this person before and was immediately on guard.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m not here to hurt you, believe me, I’m just like you.” The blond-haired man raised his hand, and white glowing energy covered his entire hand.

In an instant, Galen knew this person was like him—he could also use celestial energy.

Still, Galen didn’t react, because this wasn’t particularly good news either. Never in his life, since Quinn had gone into eternal slumber, had he met someone who could use celestial energy.

“I’m surprised to see someone act. Most Celestials just ignore when a beast attacks Earth. I mean, they have their own strong forces to help out, and if things go too far we can get in quite a bit of trouble,” the man said. “The name’s Aven.”

The man bowed slightly, but Galen still didn’t say anything, nor did he know what to say.

“Judging how you used your energy back there and the fact that you’re on Earth, let me guess you’re a new Celestial right? You don’t even have access to the Celestial space yet?”

Galen didn’t want to show his surprised look on his face, but he actually had little idea what the man was talking about. With his celestial powers he didn’t talk to his father much about them.

Other than not to use them.

“Look I just wanted to reach out, because I was in the same situation. Right now I’m on vacation and decided to visit Earth,” Aven said. “Judging by your lack of answers I can tell you’re a new Celestial.”

“There’s a few options: either you’re a Celestial that has been newly born from being worshipped, one that has grown to become one, or a born Celestial from Celestial parents. Many Celestials are abandoning their kids these days, and don’t be shy. I was the same.”

Aven then threw over a glowing card, and Galen managed to catch it. When looking at the card, he could see a location—the coordinates were space coordinates.

“More and more Celestials have been having children lately, which are leading many either having to follow the conditions of their parents, who don’t need any help, or are being born with no condition at all.”

“Yet that leaves them in a strange place. A place where they feel like they have no purpose in this world. So many of these Celestial children have just been roaming around and Earth has become quite a popular place for them to stop by.”

“Maybe because of all the lives or the history to do with the place. Regardless, because of the situation, a Celestial school has been set up. If you want purpose, or to go to a place where there are those like you, then feel free to join.

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to, but you should know, I’ve heard God Slayers becoming pretty rampant these days, and young Celestials like you are an easy target so take your pick.”

“Although I should warn you, even the school isn’t a safe place for all, but if your dad or mum is a pretty powerful Celestial you should be safe.”

With those words, and without further explanation, Aven had seemingly disappeared and all he left behind were white feathers that fell onto the rooftop.

Galen looked at the card. “What even was that? Celestial Children, Celestial space, I don’t even know anything about that… why would I just trust a random stranger that appeared out of nowhere as well?”

What did stick out to him was the words used: people like him, a purpose in this life? Not having to hide who he really was.

While looking closely at the card, he did start to wonder, what life would be like at such a place. The Celestials had to be doing something, a greater purpose to help the world. Maybe Galen could be like his father. 

At that point, Galen sensed something and white feathers exploded in his face as the man reappeared in front of him.

“There’s something that’s really been bugging me, and I just had to come back and ask. If you are a Celestial’s child, which Celestial’s Son are you?” Aven asked with a curious smile.
