Last night’s events had become the gossip of the entire continent, and while everyone was discussing Rhaegar’s new status which could even reach that of a Duke , the main person Rhaegar was ‘eye to eye’ with his new horse .

“ Its a gift from the one who’s promised to you “

That was all James told him, all he knew was that Anabel’s servant brought it to him .

“Rhaegar , what’s our destination? “

Maryanne’s question didn’t even reach his ears, his new mount was so pretty he couldn’t stop rubbing his head and ears.

“I know that red mounts are a rare breed but you have to stop, its time to leave “

“Okay okay , are the horses ready? And the provisions? “

“We have enough to eat and drink for two weeks, as for the money situation I’m sure you’re well aware “

He received many gifts last night but even though his mother wanted to give him 1000 gold coins lord Geld didn’t allow it.

He was on a trip to learn how to survive and look after himself after all, if he had all that gold it wouldn’t be called survival .

He took out his extra detailed map and showed it to her .

“The Blood Sisters have expanded their influence in many towns and villages over the years, we have even received words that families are willingly giving their daughters to them in order to be trained”

“But that’s ridiculous, which parent would want his child to become a cold blooded freaky monster who thinks of nothing but murder and pleasure ?”

“A brainwashed parent! We are living in hard times, the elven magic is being used by every commoner outside the 30 noble families influence. Spirit powers and energies cant be easily refused by commoners “

“I don’t get it though, how can you desire something you have never had a taste of? Why are them so obsessed with learning magic? All mages are depressed freaks, no offence lord “

“You’re asking a dumb question Maryanne? A young boy has never had sex in his life, so why does he desire women? “

This is how humans were built, weak and unhappy. Always craving and seeking what they don’t have, always after the forbidden.

“Anyways, I am strong enough to fight elven magic since its weak compared to ours but it still isn’t a great idea to just show up to their place and fight them.

Wouldn’t it be better if we place Rachele on the fox tribe throne and use their warriors as our army ?”

Thousand of demihuman warriors would certainly make things easier but planning a coup wasn’t his bread and butter , they may be demi humans but they weren’t dumb .

Still though Maryanne wasn’t convinced, after she learned about last night’s events she knew that Rhaegar shouldn’t make such a move this quickly.

“even you can see my doubts huh, the only territory between our Wyvern’s Reach and Terra’s lands is Horus Territory.

My engagement with Anabel will surely force them to take action, we might get assassinated “

“Its also that prince, lord. With their pettiness Im sure that the royal family would want to hinder you , especially that prince. He really took one in the chin last night “

Rhaegar was disgusted with himself, even though he was yet to head out he was already being paranoid and doubtful.

Was this really what he wast all about? The one and only dual spirited in existence who was yet to even find out what his goals were? What did he want to do?

What did he want to achieve?

Every time he asked his father he would reply .

“If Set granted you talent and made you a genius, he surely has big plans for you “

“But father, you know I don’t believe our ancestor to be an actual God right?

This world existed before we 30 noble families showed up, so Set can’t be the creator. Its basic knowledge “

“Tch whatever, It sucks fathering a child who is better than you at everything.

You even shamed our belief and ancestor and I can’t even refute your words, damned brat “

He still couldn’t believe how emotional lord Geld was when they parted, his mountain like father. He will try his best to make him proud !

“Your Lordship, pardon the interruption but her ladyship the countess has sent a box for you”

Seeing James barging in rushingly almost gave him a panic attack .

“Chill out James, it’s not like mother in law is breaking the engagement or anything “

He opened the rusty old box and found a blue book whose cover was a water dragon.

“ The Last Journey “

Next to the book was a letter that said ‘page 277’ .

He quickly opened that page and read .

“Previous overlord of the 30 noble families the Dragon King Ao Kuang .

With power to summon and control water , vision like that of dragons and power over the creatures themselves, the last of their household his majesty Shan Li wanted to remove all magic from the world .

When he expressed his desires publicly, the rest of the noble families led by the House of Zeus planned a bloody coup which led to all members of their household being executed and all of the commoners living in their territory being buried alive .

The noble families burned the Dragon Capital to mark the end of lord Shan’s reign and what’s left from that city is known as Wyvern’s Reach .

Rumour had it that lord Shan Li managed to escape the siege and without even having time to mourn his dead family he headed to ‘ Pema ‘ the elven holy land and landed a deal with their high elven queen .

By studying elven magic and anatomy, Lord Shan created the forbidden potion known as Transmutiny which requires 7 white wolf banes, 5 withering Daisy Petals and Dragon Blood . ( instructions can be found on page 407 )

That potion was what created the noble families biggest nightmare, “ The Witchers” !

Based on elven magic fundamentals and that potion, lord Shan modified humans who adapted their body into withholding mana aura and spirit that constantly danced and raged within their body .

(Read about the First War Between the Witchers and the 30 Noble Families on page 77 )

The High Elven Queen, killed lord Shan Li ,took the remaining Dragon Blood and used it to create 50 more elven witchers which were more powerful than human ones. The one who put an end to the High Elven Queen was Lord Rhaegar, the ancestor and founder of the Set Household who was also known by his famous nickname at the time ‘ Red Arcana’ .

The Red Arcana killed the elven queen with a giant sword slash that is rumoured to have cut 3 mountains which resulted in what is known today as ‘ 3 Abyssal Canyons ‘ (read about Rhaegar Arcana on page 200 )

Rhaegar closed the book and started breathing heavily, he closed his eyes and told to Maryanne who hadn’t even uttered a word the entire time .

“There has been a change of plans, we’re going to the 3 Abyssal Canyons “
