Chapter 23 - 5 years

How is little Lucas doing, Aurelia asked her daughter who has come to visit with her now ten years old son.

Amelia replied while looking at the boy with a look filled with pity, he's fine just not as advanced as his brother which his father never fails to remind him of.

Marcus compares the boy to his brother, this angered Aurelia. It would be a lie if she said she didn't expect Marcus to do that but to blame it on this child that she would not accept.

He doesn't like make it obvious, sometimes he does it unintentionally, like when Lucas started to walk he said, your brother did that 2 years earlier. When the boy learned how to talk or how to write he mentions how Dante was already doing those things way earlier.

I think it affecting the child because he as being trying really hard to at least do something before his older brother in other to please his father.

That's not going to end well for your son,I can assure you his older brother is not someone he wants to be in a competition with, because the fact is anything you see your eldest do is only because he wants you to see him do it then.

What does that even mean mother.

It means he could already do those things, he just wanted to wait for an appropriate time to let you know he can do them so you won't freak out. Even though,let be honest he still revealed his ability to do these things early.

Are you sure he was a baby how and why would he even think of doing something like that for.

Simple the child is so special he could instinctively feel he was special and thus decided to protect his special nature, but because he was actually a child he didn't know what was normal so he ended revealing things to early.

Wait how did you know this and if you knew why didn't you say, don't tell me you did that so you can have the child, Amelia asked with anger clearly in her voice.

Don't get angry baby,I didn't know not until he came here and i was able to watch him that i realized he had be trying to look what he consider normal for his age.

Infact if he was not doing such a bad job at being normal i would have thought he was possessed because he was to advance for he's age.

Fine what do you think i should do about Lucas and where is Dante he has not been coming over with you when you come to visit and you always say his fine when i ask,so why his he not around.

Well for Lucas,my advice is to stop him from seeing is older brother as competition because he would lose and badly at that.

Even though he has a core and Dante has none.

Even if the boy has three elemental affinity or for whatever reason he developes two core he would still lose to his brother at every age comparison you put them against each other.

Infact i can say with 100 percent certainty that Dante could be the strongest human ever born and the crazy thing about my statement is i don't know how strong he can truly become, but I'm sure he will be stronger than any human ever was.

If what you say is true then no matter how i try the moment Marcus finds out he will most definitely not be pleased and Lucas would be the one to take the fall.

I will speak to Marcus and tell him to stop his behavior and you so reaffirm to the child that he is no ones competition but just another son of yours because that what he is.

Thank you mother i will try my best, now where is Dante.

Mount kiaza

This mountain has caves dug into it close to the top, these cave sarve as a meditation chamber for the royals when they come to the mountain to train after all not every child can withstand the enormous mana at the top of the mountain.

In one of these cave the royal children were gathered not to train after all they had their own caves to avoid distractions. They were gathered to discuss the happening in their domain.

He still hasn't been seen anywhere in kiaza, infact he basically disappeared from the human domain as far as intelligence is considered. Victor told his siblings.

He can't just had disappeared, they must be hiding him. Ava Celeste said.

Hiding him for what,who would even be after him to demand this much effort and protection. Marius strongly disagree with that logic.

What if they are training him in secret, that why he can't be found, Serena suggested.

For a moment both brothers just looked at each other then they laughed like they just heard the funniest joke.

What training do you think a coreless person can go through that requires he doesn't see the light of day before it yield results. That if any training can yield results for that matter. Victor asked

Serena put her head down and thought (he was definitely strong when we last saw him,i mean i didn't notice then but as i continued to remember everything about him i remember he usually walks around with weight in his arms and legs even his neck).

Victor stop making fun of our sister, she was just trying to help, Ava said with a smile.

Enough about him when did father say we are to return, Marius asked Victor.

He said in a year and half by then the Academy Trial (UHAT), should begin.

I see, well until then we have no business with the boy so he can hide all he wants but he better reappears when the time comes.

Kingdom of Ebrae

Mother it's just over a year and half still the Academy Trial, why do you think he is still missing. Beatrice asked

A better question is where has he been all this while and how was he able to hide from mother in the human domain. Clarissa interjected

That is right baby girl the human domain.

What,both girls asked confused

He can't be found anywhere in the human domain and I am beginning to think it because he isn't in the human domain to being with.

What but where else could he be. Clarissa said confused

And how could he go there without the protection of either of his grandparents,both of whom are still in kiaza.

Probably because he went alone and if they allowed that, then he is special as i guess, but i must have underestimate him because no domain is save for a human even those of my levels so if he was allowed to go alone then he must be powerful enough they had no fear.

That sounds awesome, but where would he go and why, commented Beatrice.

Which domain is closest to kiaza. Ariana asked

The beast domain,both said together.

That is my favorite guess if my taught are correct and if he did go there and both his grandparents have not behaved like anything is wrong then he is still alive and if he is after five years.

He most definitely going to be strong.

Yes baby and I'm sure he should be stronger than any one of his generation after all the lowest rank in that forest is C rank and there is no way he has been fighting that since he went there five years ago and he has not improved.

So he was strong enough to face C rank and it was not human but a beast, but still survived, how old is he this year.

16 , mother Beatrice responded.

That means he was able to face a C rank at 11 and survived. Now I'm getting excited for the trials because he will most definitely be joining and if he does,core or no core he will win.

Then that means you have chosen to side with him, Clarissa asked.

Yes baby girl he was supposed to survive the attacks of humans but he showed me i was thinking small and decided humanity was not a worthy challenge, now i am sure once he returns he would make the human domain tremble.

I guess my future husband is decided, Clarissa said.

Why do you get to be his wife I'm older than you i should get to choose first. Beatrice disagreed

But I'm more beautiful and i love him first.

Those are lies,we literally look alike and you haven't even met him yet but you claim you love him.

Doesn't matter he will see i have more charm than you do and he will definitely choose me besides like you said you are a old woman.

We are literally the same age so I'm old then so are you

As both girls bicker their mother Ariana mind was in her own world think ( I wonder where the boys is and what he is doing now).
