chapter 19
Next morning Dale was awake again already having completed his exercise ready for the lessons Diaval would give him, seeing him awake and ready got Diaval nostalgic and made him remember his learning days as he was also like this when he was small and lived with his parents.
"NOW FIRST THINGS FIRST LET'S DO THE PACT THAT MAKES OUR RELATION OF MASTER-STUDENT VALID FOR REAL, NOT DOING IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS ALSO A GREAT CRIME."
"WE HAVE TO SPEAK A PLEDGE AND YOUR LINES WILL BE 'YES, I YOUR NAME ACCEPT THE SURNAME GIVEN TO ME BY THE GREAT MY NAME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE WHILE ALSO ACCEPTING HIM AS MY GUARDIAN AS PER THE RULES SAY'"
"OK."
"LET'S START"
A large magic circle came into existence and it was beautiful golden colored, Dale was dazed with its beauty for a while but quickly focused at the task at hand.
"DO YOU DALE HUSTON ACCEPT MY SURNAME AND ALSO TAKE ME AS YOUR GUARDIAN AS THE RULES STATE?"
"Yes, I Dale Huston accept the surname given to me by THE GREAT DIAVAL EUSTACE EBORSISK for the rest of my life while also accepting him as my guardian as per the rules state."
"NOW YOU HAVE MY SURNAME AND THE RITUAL IS ALSO OVER SO WE SHOULD START YOUR TRAINING."
He checked and it was written after Huston, Eborsisk.
"FOR TODAY WE WILL TRY MANIPULATING MANA AND CHANGE IT IN DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, FOR IT YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW THE ELEMENTS ARE FORMED AND HOW MANY OF THEM ARE THERE."
"I WILL TELL YOU THE BASIC ONES THAT EXIST FIRST, THE BASIC ONES ARE FIRE (THE MOST COMMON AND EASY ONE), WATER, AIR AND EARTH."
"NOW HOW THEY COME TO EXIS…"
"I know how these element are made and many more other than them, lightning, magma, nature, etc."
"REALLY? LETS SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO, START FROM BASIC." He quickly made fire, water, air blade and different types of rocks and minerals and metals too in a quick succession.
When he was 9 his condition was not that serious he was able to at least get in sitting position and getting bored from just staying in one room he learned all the chemical compositions of many different materials, so many which if you had to count you would take a few to do it.
Diaval was little bit impressed from what he saw, but he was judging from dragon standards, if any human saw him doing this he will declare him a threat to humanity or a God.
"I DON'T HAVE TO SEE THE DIVERGING ONES NOW AFTER SEEING THIS, BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME NATURE ELEMENT AS IT IS A RACE EXCLUSIVE ELEMENT, EXCLUSIVE TO ELVES."
"OK, but as you said it is a race exclusive element so I am under some restrictions while doing it, do you want to see a flower from my world or something from our surroundings?"
"WHY NOT DO BOTH? SHOW ME BOTH OF THEM." "OK, first a flower from my world." He recalled the chemical composition and structure of a rose and manipulated mana according to it. When he opened his eyes there was a rose in his hands.
Showing it to Diaval he asked him to retract all the mana here as he had to use mana eyes, which it did. Picking a wild flower nearby, he scanned it down the atomic level and produced it too.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA." Laughed Diaval loudly. After few minutes it stopped and said seriously "NOW WE DRAGONS WILL ALSO HAVE A NATURE ELEMENT USER, I SENSED IT TOOK SOME TOLL ON YOU AND ALL OTHER RESTRICTION BUT IT WILL BE GONE AFTER YOU TRANSFORM FOR THE FIRST TIME."
"Is it that good of a news?" "YES, WE COULD DO ALL OTHER RACE EXCLUSIVE MAGIC EXCLUSIVE EXCEPT THE ONE ELVES HAD BUT NOW WE HAVE YOU, COMPLETING OUR COLLECTION OF MAGIC. IT IS A VERY AUSPICIOUS NEWS."
"Good for our race, what else can I say in the name of our race from which I have only seen you." "DON'T BE SO EAGER TO MEET OTHER DRAGONS FOR NOW TILL YOU ARE ABLE TO TRANSFORM."
"NOT ALL DRAGONS ARE GOOD, NEUTRAL ONE WILL IGNORE YOU, GOOD ONES WILL HELP YOU LITTLE BIT. BUT BAD ONES WILL KILL YOU, DRAGONS DON'T USUALLY LIKE LOWER SPECIES JOINING THEM."
"BUT YOU BEING ABLE TO TRANSFORM WILL PROHIBIT THEM TO DO ANY THING AS THERE ARE MEASURES TAKEN TO ENSURE IT BY THE COUNCIL WHICH A VERY STRICT, YOU WILL KNOW THEM AFTER REACHING OUR CONTINENT."
"So my magic lessons complete?" "YES." "Anything else I have to learn?" "FLYING BUT I WILL NOT TEACH YOU THAT, DRAGONS ARE KNOWN TO FLY THEY DO NOT LEARN IT." "So I have to learn it myself?"
"YES BUT NOT IN MY PRESENCE UNTIL YOU FIRST TURN, I HAVE MY PRIDE AND I CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO FLY NEAR ME EXCEPT A DRAGON, NOW IT IS TIME YOU GO TO THE HUMAN SOCIETY, YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE ROUTE TO THE NEAREST CITY, I WILL TELEPORT YOU WHERE YOU ARRIVED IN THIS WORLD, FROM THERE YOU CAN GO TOWARDS IT."
"Thank you for all you have did for me."
"YOU'RE WELCOME, TELL ME WHEN YOU ARE READY, I WILL START THE TELEPORTATION ACCORDING TO YOU AND IT SHAKES YOUR MIND BE READY TO VOMIT OR TO EXPERIENCE HEAVY DIZZINESS."
Taking a deep breath and got ready "let's do it." "OK, BE READY." As soon as he said this a very loud hum sounded and he was at the place he arrived in this world. "Which direction was the city again?"
[You just have go in the opposite direction you went before for now.] "OK." And he went ahead towards in that direction in which he was pointed.
As he got farther and farther from the forest the greenery was diminishing along with his steps, first the trees and longer grass vanished then the small berry filled bushes were also left behind.
Now there were only small trees, wild grass and wild shrubs on his path which went on till he got closer to the road after which the greenery was returning and when he reached the road he was able to see trees on both sides on the road.
Waiting there for someone to ask directions, he sat there and chewed on dried meat as he waited for a few hours. After 2-3 hours he saw one big decorated box on wheels coming his way, he waited for it to reach him, all the while waving his hand so whoever it was stops near him.
And as he thought the thing which can be called half carriage stop just beside him half carriage because it didn't had an animal to pull it but it was still mobile. As the door opened he got a very strong stench of blood, probably human blood.
Quickly taking out his weapon he retreated ready to fight, for while he just stood there in stance and just as he was about to get near it to check it a voice came from inside the carriage, "what are you trying to do little boy?"
"First tell me why there is stench of human blood in your carriage." "Well I am a vampire and I need blood, worry not the insides are clean I am not a messy one."
"Don't you guys stay away from humans and all?"
"Why are you talking about forgotten times? Today with no discrimination we are also integrated in the society."
"You said no discrimination right?" "Yes I said that." "Haah" sighing in relief he removed his weapon. "What was that?" "I didn't knew which type of continent I was on. My parents told me everything else but they didn't know it so I don't know."
"So which sides is the city?" "I am also going there why don't you come with me? I also have a high position in that city so your entry will be smooth." Thinking about it he agreed and got on. Just like MR. Vamp said the insides were beautiful and clean of any blood just some of it left in a fancy glass.
Seeing that he was unfazed by blood, MR. Vamp asked "Don't you get disgusted by the blood? You had a strong reaction to its stench." "No, I had to survive drinking beast blood so this much blood is nothing to me. As for my reaction I didn't know what your intentions were."
"So what were you doing there all alone?" "I would like if you mind your own business." He was not being rude here it was just a caution he ought to take.
Seeing him being cautious MR. Vamp also gave up on taking and just quietly drank the blood left, as he was drinking he thought about how this boy had a dragons smell that to a strong and old one. Joining two and two together he concluded the boy had a dragon bloodline so he decided that he will keep an eye at him.
"How is this carriage working without any animal to pull it?" "This is a magic engine equipped one so it doesn't need any animal to pull it." "OK."
They were rather quite for the rest of the journey small questions were made here and there and this helped them to not concentrate on time and by the evening they were at the gate.
They were allowed to skip the line and directly reach at the gate, there the windows got down and a guard came at and asked for IDs.
MR. Vamp took out his showing it to the guard while saying "And this boy…" interrupting him Dale said "And this is mine." Dale showed the ID he had been provided by reincarnation cycle employees.
Lifting his left brows MR. Vamp said "hoh" and sat back. Checking both of them the guard returned it to them and allowed them to move ahead.
Leaving him at a good inn to stay while also booking a room for him for next week, MR. Vamp was going back when Dale asked "Can you come here tomorrow? I need your little bit help." Pondering for a while "OK." said MR. Vamp going out to his carriage.
Taking the keys he went to his room reaching there he saw that it was bit large for him, as he entered what he saw first was a living room with a sofa set in the middle of it, to the left of it there was a kitchen and on the right side there was a single bed room, a bath room and a wash room.
Going straight to the bedroom he removed his fancy clothes and went to the wash room where he took a long shower, yes there was a shower here.
Going back to the bed room he wore some light clothes after which he ate dried meat for dinner in his bedroom only and went to sleep, first time getting the comfort of a bed in this world. As soon as his head touched the pillow he was transported in the world of dreams.
