Chapter 35 – Luna’s homeland.

[Me]: Before we leave, you had a different tone when I was summoned. The attitude what you are showing right now is total opposite to that. What made you change?

[Luna]: I haven’t met or heard of anybody breaking opponents wand in a fight using his fingers. You have power and I want you besides me at all costs even it means losing you at some point in future. I want to find killers of my parents. I want to punish them.

We left to headmaster’s office, Luna leading the way, wyrm and me following.

I can leave Luna and go my way and search for a way back to my world but it may take longer and I may actually never find a way at all. I am a warrior, not a proper magus. I will need proper guidance from magicians of this world. I have a good experience as a government bureaucrat, I had been member of diplomatic delegate, I had attended commissions and conferences held by Ministry of Finance; I can help her out to be the Duchess of her late father’s dukedom. That way I may have easy access to lots of information and resources. As a result I still face two problems to be solved as soon as possible. First and foremost is Gorn. I have to kill him to revenge the death of my wife, mother and unborn kid. Unfortunately because of the summoning bond I can not do much now. Second problem is to decide if Luna is worthy to become the Duchess of Wallington.

[Luna]: Hey! Hey!

[Me]: Are you talking to me?

[Luna]: Were you daydreaming?

[Me]: Yeah, I was lost in thought.

We were standing in front of a big building.

[Luna]: We are here. This is the headmaster’s residence.

I nod.

[Luna]: It’s a bit late for proper introduction but I’m Luna von Raden.

[Me]: I’m Aslan of Kali tribe.

[Wyrm]:………. (Only I understood the wyrm)

[Me]: He is Gorn the Dark One. We will be in your care, Luna.

Doors opened and we entered the building. A man looking around 40 years of age was standing in front of us. He came towards us.

[-]: I’m Irakliy, headmaster’s butler and loyal servant.

[Luna]: I’m Luna von Raden of Wallington House.

[Irakliy]: Headmaster Buhsdorf and Professor Brom are waiting for you. Follow me.

We walked upon wide stairs to second floor of building. We entered the main room on second floor. There were many bookshelves filled with books. A black haired woman was sitting on an armchair by a wooden table, which had lots of books, documents and papers on it.

[Irakliy]: Headmaster Buhsdorf, the student and her familiar have arrived.

[Buhsdorf]: I have told you many times, call me Sheila.

[Irakliy]: But headmaster…

[Sheila]: Enough Irakliy, you may leave.

[Brom]: Headmaster - look at them, a wyrm and a human. It is as I have told you.

Sheila stood up and closed the distance between us. She had jacquard patterned sweaterknit skirt on her showing her long and slender legs. Her shirt had rich prints and bohemian paisley patterns, fringe as a top layer made her look like the epitome of sexiness. She bended a bit to touch wyrm's head.

[Sheila]: It’s not just a wyrm. It’s a dark one.

Light appeared from tips of her fingers and covered wyrm for an instant.

[Sheila]: Now talk!

[Gorn]: I will destroy the whole world but I will spare you because you recognized who the Gorn is.

[Sheila]: Hahaa. You have big ambitions.

[Sheila]: Professor Brom you may leave too. I’ll handle the rest.

She patted wyrm’s head.

[Sheila]: Thank you sweetie.

Damned wyrm licked her hand. It was making a move on her.

As soon as, Brom left the room.

[Luna]: Aunt Sheila it is nice to meet you again.

They hugged.

[Sheila]: Likewise Luna. I was afraid you would be killed too so I requested your attendance to classes in Rinelts. I sent the acceptance letters and payment slip to your uncle so that I could protect you. You are safe here.

[Luna]: You met Gorn. This is Aslan. He is my familiar too.

[Sheila]: Nice to meet you Aslan.

I nod again.

[Sheila]: there is something within you, which is part of you but are not of human origin. Are you a hybrid?

[Me]: No, it’s a gift bestowed upon me by a long dead demon lord.

[Sheila]: Luna - lay low and do not cause any kind of ruckus anymore. It’s your first year, and in few weeks summer holidays will arrive. I’ll arrange a holiday house for you.

I sensed Luna got tensed up hearing Sheila’s plans regarding her.

[Me]: Thanks for the offer but I think we will be going to Luna’s homeland.

[Luna]: Aunt Sheila do you know any kind of spell to send Aslan back to his world?

[Sheila]: I do not know, but there a few people who I know may have the answer!
