THE STONE THAT ESSEL IS AFTER, IS NOT JUST A POWERFUL METEORITE WHICH COULD MAKE HIM IMMORTAL, IT  ALSO HOLDS MANY EVIL POWERS INSIDE IT. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE FINALLY CONQUERS IT AND HOW HE IS ABLE TO DO SO.......




CHAPTER 2 : MIGHTY LOVE

Cloud is still worried about his friend's strange interest in that meteorite and about what he was planning to do to finally conquer it. He tried asking Essel about his plans but Essel rudely refused to reveal anything. This perturbed Cloud even more because the Essel that he knew, never talked to anyone in such a rude manner .
Three days after the meteorite collided in the park, Essel talked to Sayuri about his admiration for her. Sayuri gladly accepted him right there on the spot. Cloud could sense an evil pride in Essel's eyes which had been there for some time now. Nevertheless, he congratulated his best friend for getting his love and succeeding in a task that he had never been able to accomplish since so many years, the mighty task of expressing his feelings in front of Sayuri.
He was sure that Essel was still obsessed with the rock. So, he tried convincing him about how ill-omened the rock had proved for their friend Naruto and how much destruction it had caused in the park which used to be a heavenly place for them to play. But still, Essel was lost in his own thoughts and didn't pay much attention to Cloud's words.


Cloud(angrily) :"Are you following me or not? I've never seen you like this!!"
Essel(with a shine in his eyes and laughing) :"You don't need to worry about me, Cloud. Coz very soon, I'll be the proud owner of that precious stone.Wait and watch how this happens ."
Cloud(sounding worried) :"But you can't even touch it. Haven't you seen Naruto's condition? I think there's a charm on that meteorite which is unbreakable ."
Essel(still laughing) : "Oh! So you are smart enough to figure it out. But Cloud, I am aware of a power stronger than that. Just wait and watch."

Cloud was aware that his friend had something unusual and dangerous in his mind and that it was going to happen very soon. But he had no clue about the fact that it was going to have something to do with a girl. The other day, he went to the park where he noticed two figures standing in front of the meteorite. On observing closely, he realized that they were Essel and Sayuri. He keenly observed their activity and was shocked to see that in one hand Essel held Sayuri's hand while his other hand rested on the meteorite. But all of a sudden, something happened and Essel felt a jerk. Scared, Essel rushed towards his friend but soon realized that he was absolutely fine except a black Xenome mark that had formed on his hand that had touched that rock. Essel began laughing in a very strange manner and ran somewhere without saying anything to either of the two(Sayuri and Cloud). Cloud then asked Sayuri about what had happened with his friend. All that she told was that Essel had asked her to hold his hand and she had obliged. He then touched the stone and from that very moment, he had been acting pretty strange.







AFTER THIS ENCOUNTER, ESSEL HAS BECOME THE OWNER OF ALL THE POWER THAT XENOME WAS KNOWN FOR. BUT IS HE REALLY CAPABLE AND STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT ? IS THIS IMMENSE POWER IN THE RIGHT HANDS?
