Chereads / Asd: A Werelion's Journey To Arcane Supremacy / Chapter 40 - Runes: Broken Heart

Chapter 40 - Runes: Broken Heart

"for any class that is allocated to any one of you, you would most definitely offer a course on runes and perhaps languages too as some languages use runes as their lettering, like dwarfish for example. Now the primes runes are 777, but their variations are infinite in that regard as rune number one will make something different when paired with rune number 36 or 534. More than one rune can be combined, but a strong mental energy and Mana capacity is required for that. an example would be the circles of spells. 1st circle spell usually contains 4 to 8 runes, 2nd circle spells will contain anywhere from 10 to 20, 3rd 22 to 44, 4th 46 to 92 and 5th 94 to 188. 6th 190 to 380 and 7th 382 to all 777 runes all in different variations.

It is also possible to combine the runes of elves, dwarves, and fairies into the equation, in fact that's how highest level spells are made as for some reason. All 777 draconic runes cannot be in the same spell module together, it's an equation that mages have been trying to solve for a millennium if not more, and yet none have discovered the perfect combination and sequence for all 777 draconic runes to exist in the same spell, which leads us to believe that all 777 draconic runes are the components of a single powerful 7th circle spell or an 8th circle spell, also known as a demi-god spell. There are a lot of connections about what this spell might be, but none has any evidence backing it up. But it is mainly believed that it's a spell of ultimate magic, some say immortality, others say god-hood, some fanatics believe it is the spell to completely rewrite reality. I wonder what you all think it is? Well we all have to keep going forwards to seek the answers. Now before I end the class, who can tell me why the beastmen continent is so important to the empires and forces of the world? Asd?"

He had no answer to that question, anyone of the beastmen alive would like to know the answer of why they have suffered for so long, not that it would do anything for them, but at the very least it should give them a sort of closure. But it was an interesting question in and out of itself, so they were here not just for resources and cheap labor, there was more to this cluster fuck of a reality than what was currently seen Asd kept his gaze sharp and wholly on professor Mona, he shook his head to tell her know and waited for her to give him the answer.

"Well I guess the reason isn't something that anyone of the empires would want to advertise, it is a shameful event after all. Well the answer to that is simple. The beastmen continent is the birthplace of the dragons, and also the last place a dragon was ever seen, and the only place a dragon's bones was ever found. Legend has it that there is a hidden mountain, its name has been long forgotten, but they say the mountain overlooks a lake of purity nestled in the middle of a valley of life, it is here the dragon emperor held his court and listened to the disputes of his seven kings. Together they made the eight clans of the beastmen empire.

The Dragon emperor, the Werewolf King, the Scorpion King, The Kitsune Queen, The Centaur Chief, The Merman King, The Avian Lord, And The Cat King known to change every dozen years due to the civil wars between the cats. They have three royal families, and the mantle of power between those three have been changed so much that no one knows who the original seventh king was. Is the Panther Kings, The Tiger Queens, Or The Lion Kings of which you Asd are the last known Werelion on Boria? Perhaps there's magic in your blood that you don't understand…. A secret that would lead the world to the hidden Mountain of legend, where the secrets of the dragons await those who would be brave enough to uncover them. but it's all just a legend so I wouldn't worry too much about it, now all of you run along, class is over."

Asd was left with questions, a lot of it. He came here to study about runes; but the revelation that came with it has given him much to think about. But be that as it may they were done here, so he got up and moved out of the class, taking his time so that Rhea could catch up to him. He wanted nothing more than to just run away, every muscle in his body was screaming in protest as he couldn't exactly face her, and then she touches his arm and he flinched. The Lion within laughed and an intense feeling of mockery came up from the connection they shared, the bloody lion was the reason he couldn't run away, it was beneath a lion and an alpha at that to run the fuck a way from a female.

"Are you okay?" she asked him, love and worry in her voice as he turned to face her. Her hair was short and purple, so obviously Chelsea got that right when she tried to impersonate Rhea. But he felt guilty, all so guilty even if naturally the situation was completely out of his hands. He felt that he should have been stronger, see clearer, listened to his nose and instincts when all the warnings were there. But he just let his cock do the thinking for him and now he's left feeling like crap.

"You're asking me if I'm okay…. You're the one who got injured and almost died because of me, I'm okay, but better yet why are you- "

"Asd! are you okay my love?" he fell silent as tears slowly pooled in his eyes, for a moment he just wanted to open up and tell her what has happened, to let her understand that he might probably never be the same again, but he couldn't, he could not do this to her. He couldn't tell her that the love, devotion and respect that should be hers have been stolen away by someone else, he couldn't do that. Chelsea was a mistake and he would treat it as such, he would pretend she didn't exist and love Rhea instead, he would show her much more devotion than this world could possibly understand or withstand…. even if it all has to be a lie!

"I was so scared for you…. I didn't know what I was going to do, and the thought of losing you Rhea! …. It almost, no…. it broke me. I've not been the same since then and I can't help this guilt that I feel…. I did this to you." She raised her hands up and placed a finger on his lips as she shushed him into a stunned silence.

"You didn't do anything to me, all you did was love me and someone decided to take advantage of it. But you saved me, or rather he did, the other you. And that night, you both were so beautiful, and I knew under the harsh touch of the moonlight that you and you alone belonged to me. And I would do anything, fight anyone for you, I will die and kill anything that will stand in the way of my protecting you Asd…. You're my soul mate."

And Asd's heart broke even more as the lion within preened in excitement and pride. He approved, a queen may have been chosen, but a king will have his concubine, even if she didn't know that that was all she was ever going to be. And it broke Asd even more because he knew, he knew so hard that he would never have the courage to tell Rhea that he was now bonded to another, and even they do get bonded, even if they do end up together against all odds…. It would never be the same like the first, she wouldn't be Queen.
