Magna

Royal Cognitionis

Leo and Selene were in a large study room, the room had a majestic diamond chandelier, there was a man, who looked elderly, he wore a white knee-length tunic, he was seated near a golden desk which had some books on it, there was also a girl seating in front of the man, she was the same age as Leo, she had red hair with blue eyes, she was as enchanting as flames of Phoenix.

The man asked them to take seats in front of him, as they took their seats beside the red-haired girl, he apprised

"How was your journey, did you have any difficulties" as he questioned in a calm tone, Leo replied "Yes, Magister Bruno, we had little bit difficulties while travelling with two thousand guards, but it was fine because we had everything, what we wanted, bought to us"

After that Bruno had a relaxed face, then he continued to ask "So then, you met the king for the first time, what do you think of him, your father"

Leo and Selene had distrust face as Leo answered in depressing "The King huh! I only met him yesterday but I can tell he is just cunning as a fox and mad as a hatter, he can do anything at any movement, if he takes a drastic move, it will be his downfall".

Bruno was in shock, he then questioned again as he asked in a gentle tone "Why do you say that?", then Leo answered in a calm tone " because, when I saw him with an audacious look on his face with constant glare of hate like he wanted to kill us at that movement"

Bruno was not surprised to listen he knew that the king had that personality, as he said: "oh, that's not a good sign but until I am here no one will dare to touch you, as I have promised your mother, to keep you both safe".

Bruno than introduced the girl seating beside Selene "This is your Younger sister Cecilia"

Leo and Selene were in surprise as Selene wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by a knock on the door, there were two children with blond hair, one was a girl and the other boy, the girl had short blond hair with cold eyes and enchanting mature body, and the boy had a radiant look on his face.

Bruno permitted to come in, as both entered the girl with short blond hair was staring at Leo with hostility and hate. The boy was happy to see both Leo and Selene, the boy spoke: "I am happy to see you both, I was waiting to meet you both, I am Alcaeus Calvin Aristus, your brother" in excitement and looked at the blond girl who had hostile look on her face and said.

"And she is Felicia our older sister" as soon as he introduced them, she had bitter look on her face. Leo and Selene were in surprise to see their siblings, both too greeted them with a happy smile and introduced themselves, but Selene was unhappy about how Felicia looked at Leo with hate.

After some movement Bruno said "good you are here, I was going to start today's teaching, now take your seat Alcaeus" he paused and looked at Felicia and asked "you too, Felicia!", as both of them to seats beside Leo.

"you five will be studying here in the Royal Cognitionis, for six months after that, some of you may have bloodline awakening" the children were in surprise but except Felicia, as Bruno continued " don't be surprised, Felicia here is eighteen but still has not awakened her bloodline" as soon as he said Felicia had a defeated face.

"don't worry, the age limit for bloodline awakening is two hundred years, as royals have a life span of thousand years"

Then he continued as he looked at the children and said: "This opportunity for studying in Royal Cognitionis is only for royals, here you will learn, about the human realm, you will also have special physical training to wield a blade, to fight and to cast spells, in your time in Royal Cognitionis".

Leo asked in confusion "will we have any training for bloodline awakening?"

"Yes, you will" as he replied then he continued "you will also learn about the Middle realms", the children had a confused face, "Now let's start" then suddenly Bruno moved his hand and chanted a spell.

Now they were in a middle of the forest which had dark big trees, suddenly the children were in shock, Alcaeus asked "did we teleport", Leo looked at Alcaeus and replied calmly "Yes we did", Bruno was watching the children's reaction as he said "this is teleportation spell", Leo asked in a calm tone "why are we here?"

Then Bruno continued "Today, you will learn about the human realm" as he was pointing at a big stone map of the human realm in the middle of the forest.

The stone was shining as diamond, as it showed the map of the human realm, after some time Bruno apprised in a calm tone "there are four continents in the human realm, which mostly ruled by the humans" and then he pointed out east of the map with a stick and said "This is continent of Pan ruled by the "The Great Pan dynasty" and the birthplace of Solis"

After that, he pointed at the north "The north is ruled by the "Holy Empire" which is led by the holy emperor and.." as he pointed out the centre "our continent, the biggest continent in the human realm, Ellos!" the children had a curious face as he continued "Ruled by three kingdoms and the Empire of Carcus" as he was pointing out the kingdoms and the empire.

Suddenly Leo questioned "What about the fourth continent?" in a curious tone, Bruno answered "Oh yes, the continent of Sua, no human inhabits those lands, because there are many mysterious creatures in the continent of Sua"

Then Bruno and the children started discussing the human realm for hours, the sun was setting down, the sky was getting orange.

Bruno saw the orange sky, then said "This will be all for today, next time we will be having physical training for your body tempering" he moved out his hand to cast a spell, in a blink of an eye they were in the same room as they were a while before.

As the teaching was over the everyone was leaving the room the room, Bruno stopped Leo, and asked "Leo can you stay for some time, I wanted to verify something", Leo nodded in agreement.

Selene was a bit troubled leaving her brother, but she left after Leo insisted her to leave, "Oh, your sister is clingy" said Bruno in a comic tone, Leo had a steady face while he stared at Bruno and replied, "Yes, I know, she loves me more than anyone else and same goes for me".

Bruno face become curious, as he moved towards Leo and said "You have an unusual aura in you, I am becoming more curious, what is it?" he looked at Leo and continued "You have a crystal embedded on your chest, when I scanned your body I saw the crystal which was emitting huge aura, so I become curious".

"Can I look into the crystal, Prince Leo?" asked Bruno in a respectful tone, Leo replied "Yes, but…" he was interrupted by Bruno "Okay, good, let's get going".

Bruno moved his hand towards the crystal and started to analyzed it, but suddenly he was in intense pain and his body started to tremble in fear as he moved back his hand.

Bruno's body was sweating continuously, was trembling in fear, Leo saw his condition he immediately moved to help Bruno "Are you all right Magister". Bruno immediately stopped him "Stop there don't come any closer".

After some movement Bruno calmed himself and said, "I am alright" but he was still trembling "You can go now Leo", Leo had an apologetic face but he nodded in agreement and left the room.

"What kind of power was that? It had an infinite amount of dark mana" as Bruno thought to himself and muttered "Let's hope for the good"
