Jason and Heron arrived back at home to meet their parents and siblings having dinner.
"Oh, I guess I shouldn't have eaten back at the inn" Jason said as he laughed.
( The third son of Jaliel is Jack, he hasn't been mentioned yet in the story as his part is very irrelevant).
"Where the hell did you guys go to" asked Jade, "We came back home to meet the house empty, what a startle we got" she said further feigning pain.
" As if you cared" Jael said to her
" We were out hunting" Jason replied Jade
" And what did you see?" Jaliel asked as he was visibly interested in the discussion.
" Hydrocerons" replied Heron on behalf of Jason " weak ones" he added while looking at Jason.
Everyone looked disappointed.
" I expected that you guys encountered a Phalendiceron" ( A Phalendiceron is a winged creature, way stronger than the Hydroceron, as their scaly bodies can completely block an attack)."It would have helped you train more better, as they lose more of a problem than Hydrocerons, whose strength lies in the water" He added.
" How many did you guys kill, if you really saw one? " Jack chipped in the discussion
" Four Hydrocerons, and one mother Hydroceron" replied Jason, " and guess what, they were quite a big trouble" he added.
" They won't be any problem to me" said Jade.
" Of course, my strength is far lower than than that of yours, if not, why won't I ascend A rank" Jason said keeping eye contact with Jade.
" Seems like things are getting interesting here" Jaliel said. Wiping his hands, he stood up and donned on the attire of a Warlock he was.
" I have to leave now, we've got more pressing issues at the moment to deal with". He said as he left.

"Dad, guess who I met today" a young girl marching into the study of her parents asked
The young girl was Diana, the one saved by Jason.
" Who, darling" replied her dad
Before she could reply, her mother cut in.
" Where were you anyway?" asked her mother
" Umm..., I got lost" answered Diana, "but somebody saved me" she added.
" And who is that? " asked her father
" Well, he's a nice guy, he doesn't really fall for girls" she said while giggling " Believe me, I tried" she continued, this time, bursting into laughter.
Her mother shook her head wondering what kind of person the boy would be.
" I think he's strong, I saw a Hydroceron by his side, and he's also gentle" Diana added
" So what's his name? " asked her mother expectantly
" He told me his name was Judais" Diana answered
The room fell into silence
"WHAT!!!!" Her father shouted
" What's the problem" asked Diana
" Do you even know who Judais is" her mother asked Diana shocked.
" Who is he? " Diana asked back anxious
" The god of death" replied her father leaving Diana shocked. Standing up from his chair," You may not know this, but the god of death is one that puts terror in the hearts of all that knew him. We don't even know how he came about, but when he came, we chased him away as his power was very little at that time. It never once crossed our minds that he would become stronger. I am talking about our Fathers. He came back with terror, terrorizing each and every one of them. At sometime, he died, but with every one hundred years, he comes back in a human to terrorize is. His power is activated by rage and anger, sometimes pain" Her father explained.
Diana and her mother were left speechless.
" The god of death met my daughter, the god of death met my daughter" Her mother said visibly scared.
" I'll need to sound the council alarm, seems like we've got two problems on ground to reason out, with the god of death as the worst case" said her father.
He walked out of the room while heading to the council.
" Seems like this god of death issue might be away to escape this impending destruction".
