Dane was currently in his tent, Preparing for his meeting with the [Runic Master].
When he asked what he should bring when they go to see the Master, Kami said 'you don't need to bring much, but just bring your own ink, When it comes to Runes, the ink is essentially the most important thing next to skill.'
So here he was, changing his clothes to suit his needs. He started to change first by taking of his shirt, revealing a vest that carried weight ingots similar the ones visible near his ankles.
He had been wearing weights for training and its weight seemed negligible now so he would have to change them, but for now he would just take them off.
He started with his vest which was tightly hugging his chest and released to reinforced leather straps holding it.
Without the reinforced straps, gravity took affect and the vest hit the floor with a Loud Bang. Leaving an indent in the ground slightly.
*Bam!*
He did the same with his other weights and they resulted in the same scene.
All the weights had sank into the smooth dirt floor slightly. Leaving indents in its place.
Dane then did a quick small jump feeling much lighter and faster almost immediately.
'Nice' Dane thought as he through a quick couple of jabs in succession, listening to the air split due to the quick movements of his fist was quite satisfying.
After removing his weights, he checked his Jody to view his current progress in his training. Even though his training was incredibly tough and some people would consider it masochistic due to the pain tolerance he's developed, he could see the benefit of his fathers training.
His skin has hardened greatly to the point a regular sword would have a tough time cutting.
His body has grown stronger by 5 times the average Barbarian male.
Which is odd due to the fact he hasn't reached 15 yet. Even his father found it puzzling, but nobody really minded as it was a good thing.
His other senses had also grown stronger and he had developed something of a sixth sense without the use of Ki.
He could perceive 100 meters around him if he focused intently.
As he was done with his check for now, he began to get dressed in warmer clothes as it was getting colder soon. And since they now lived in the far north, this fact couldn't be more true.
Even for barbarians of the SilverMoon clan, who specialized in yin and Ice Ki, it was strangely cold.
He put on a thick beast skin shirt, and on top of the the White Fur Coat that had more runes on it on the inside that made it feel warmer. He also put on some leather pants that hugged his legs slightly.
As he finished dressing his mother entered his tent.
She looked at him, nodded at his attire and spoke" Let's go, she is waiting for us."
Dane Nodded and they began their walk towards a 2 story wooden hut.
From the outside they could see many animal skin parchments with Runic drawings written in a black Ink through a window at the front.
As they entered the hut, they were met with a shop like interior with shelves that contained more parchments of animal skin, but the ink Contained a slight Glow of white that wasn't present on what Dane had seen on the Runes up front.
They also came in contact with a woman, who was short for a barbarian but you could tell she was a barbarian due to the muscles visible through her cloak. The Room they had entered also smelled of Herbal incense that seemed to enhance perception and focus to a large degree.
The woman was currently working on a room in what looked to be a Frenzy, as her eyes were slightly bloodshot and her Ki was circulating quickly as she poured Ki from her hands into a pen that danced on a sheet of parchment. the Tattoo of a Moon within a winter plain located below her neck and above her breasts flew with a silver and white glow as her Aura spiked.
The pen seemed made of Ki and wrote in swift and elegant manner even without her hands actually holding it.
Dane had a look of Awe on his face as he watched intently at the process, trying to memorize and analyze what he was seeing.
Since she seemed to focused at the moment they decided to wait and Dane looked around again.
This was the first actual building he had seen from the inside as they usually held something important. For instance, there were some stone buildings built near the mountain, that probably held the Clans Wealth as it was usually well guarded. Dane stayed in a tent since he liked the simplicity of it.
The building design used here reminded Dane of a Nordic type with a tall Roof and intricate carvings
used as decoration of Ancient Beasts such as the Death Wryms and Wyverns.
The floor had a bearskin Rug that felt nice to sit on.
They were currently sitting on some white fur pillows crosslegged as they watch the mad lady at work. There were shelves full of items and contraptions with runes embedded in them everywhere.
The second floor probably held her bedroom and more.
As they sat Dane spoke. "Mother who is she? She seems to be in a trance." He said as he looked at her focused and slightly glazed eyes.
"She is Roma SilverMoon, the top Runic Master currently left in the clan. Her husband died during the journey here from an ambush of Frost Orcs and Trolls.
"Now It's just her and her daughter, Ally ,left and ever since his death, she has thrown herself headfirst into her study's, rising to the top Runic master currently in the clan."
Dane was saddened by her loss and didn't know what to say. He looked at Roma's back as she worked and made a silent vow to bring vengeance on those who harmed his clan.
Kami could see the resolve for something harden in his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
She couldn't help but smile at how mature her son was when it came to matters of the Clan.
She was about to speak again when the door behind them opened and a young girl entered.
She looked about Danes age and had long raven black hair braided down her back stopping at her waists. He Silver eyes shined with innocence as she cock her head to the side slightly as she saw the duo in confusion.
"Hello who are you?" She asked in a slightly confused tone. She didn't know they had visitors today so she wasn't here when they came, She also couldn't see who they were clearly.
Dane looked at the small girl then back to his mom and said "Is that her?"
Kami nodded and spoke to the girl," hello Ally, it's me Kami and this is my son Dane." She smiled to the girl.
The girls confused look left her as she realized who it was and was replaced by a radiant smile as she ran and jump to Kami "Auntie Kami!" She squealed in a jovial tone.
The scream of joy was heard by Roma in her trance and she quickly realized that she had visitors again and snapped out of it, finishing her Rune writing quickly.
Kami caught the girl in her arms for a hug. The girl turned her head to Dane and waved with a smile which he returned with a wry smile. 'It seems they new each other well' he thought to himself.
Roma turned around to the group and smiled gently as she spoke." I'm sorry did you wait long?"
"No no your fine, we arrived a little while ago and saw you were working, so we were just waiting for you to finish." Dane Shook his hands and said.
Roma nodded with an apologetic smile and spoke again." Well your here for me to teach you about runes so let's get to it!"
She then look towards Kami and Ally and said " you guys can sit anywhere and catch up while I teach Dane." She pointed to multiple spots before turning back to Dane.
" let's start with Runic theory and it's History" she said with a smile of excitement. Dane could tell she enjoyed teaching as she was extremely exited.
