Koga had returned to the castle after placing his clone in the lords appointed house, when ever a person was near the house a fragment of kogas soul transported into the body. Before Koga returned to the castle he went to his moms house. Koga first apologized for not coming to visit his mom as often as he should have. Then the two of them took a trip to the local cemetery, they stood in front of the grave of a man he wished he had met. The placard said: Alan Marsora 1986- 2013 a father, a soldier, a husband, and a good man.
Koga and his mom stayed at the grave for about an hour, they payed their respect to the man they both cherished. Even though Koga never really met his dad that didn't mean he didn't miss him. Koga had his dads dog rags with him at all times, Koga also had one of the few picture of his small family in his wallet, every night Koga looked at that picture before what used to be falling a sleep. The picture was one of sheer happiness his parents had huge smiles their faces on the day of that picture.
Kogas determination was because of how honorably his father had fought in his last moments, Alan stood alone against hundreds of soldiers and Alan defeated all but their commander, the commanders name was Nicoli Fletcher. Nicoli had given Alan an honorable death, Nicoli etched the face of the man who had annihilated his entire army alone in less than ten minutes
The battle with lanthanides's top commander had serious side effects to Nicoli, such as no longer having his left arm. Nicoli had to make a decision in the last few seconds of the fight, he had sacrificed his arm to cast sorcerer tier magic as just a wizard. Ever since Nicoli had cast that horrible spell his soul bonded with Alan's. Alan had tormented Nicoli since the day he died, over fourteen years ago. After Nicoli had barely won the battle of the blood moon( the battle of which Nicoli's army who had been approaching the capital city state lanthanides, was stopped dead in their tracks by an over enthusiastic commander who had known if they had made it to the capital that the casualties would have been in the thousands instead of just one.
In the throne room of the kingdom know as fletcher, a servant entered the throne room with a large bottle of whiskey that the king Nicoli had requested." Your whiskey my lord" said the servant named Daniel as he knelt on one knee as a show of respect for the king, Daniel was Nicolis favorite servant and his best friend since childhood." Is Alan giving you a migraine again, my lord " Daniel asked. Nicoli had only trusted one person with the knowledge of the soul binding that had occurred on the day of that battle. Alan sighed as he used his magical artifact which could morph into any form, the current form was a large golden gauntlet that started at his mid bicep their were five equal length claws that were humanoid in shape, with an appendage much like a thumb but as long as his other fingers. Nicoli graved the entire bottle whiskey and knocked it back with one swift and fluid motion.
Meanwhile in lanthanides, Koga was kneeling on one knee before the king of lanthanides, Luther Lanthanides the man who built this entire kingdom in just a century( mandatory note because I forgot to add it in earlier, lanthanides is the third most powerful kingdom in the continent of the Sal lu provenance which was 20,000 km long and the total land mass was 49,000 sq km.) Koga was unsure why the king of lanthanides was asking for an audience with him." Hello Koga as you know there has been no war since the battle of the blood moon, but our spies have told us that our two most prevalent enemies the kingdom of fletcher and the kingdom of Beltran have signed an alliance. This is something that has worried us immensely, thus the mage counsel and I have come to an agreement that you Koga marsora, son of the great Alan marsora will be taught all of the sorcerer rank spell in mine and my kins section of the library to prepare for the war that awaits us in the near future".
Koga's expression of interest had quickly turned into one of shock as he looked at the king, the king chuckled at the face of the grand court mages strongest student. Koga asked with a puzzled look on his face " Don't I have to be a sorcerer rank mage to be able to learn those techniques ?" " Koga as soon as you develop the fifth ring around your heart you officially become a sorcerer rank, I can tell how many rings you have in this case by seeing the way the elementary particles in the air absorb into your body." Koga never realized that the elementary force he had gained as soon as he gained the fifth ring and continued to steadily gain more of, was due to his rank. Luther ended the meeting after that point and fought to himself as he watched Koga walk out of the room.
The king was amused by the ignorance of the sorcerer rank man standing in front of him, as far as Luther knew Koga was the youngest sorcerer rank in the continent of the sal lu provenance, since the ancient times. Even though Koga was only sixteen he stood on par with the very same king he talked to with such respect in his voice, the king was over 200 years old and a sixteen year old stood at the same if not slightly higher level as him.
After the meeting with the king Koga had decided that learning the spells immediately was a better use of his time than eating lunch was in that moment. After about an hour of absorbing the knowledge in the royal section of the library Koga had finished finally.
