Chapter 22 - Chapter 21 He is Gone

Mt. Gretalros stood ominously, overlooking the great plains of the deep southern regions of the Lucrentian Empire. In the great crater at its roof was placed the home of one Mynrea Frenost. On the eastern face of the mountain had been built a large hanging garden. That with the use of magic, levitated several thousand feet from the plains below. It was here that Mynrea was entertaining guests, two headmasters from academy's in the Dragon lands.

"I was pleased to receive your summons my lady. It is rare for the youngest daughter of the Howergald Clan. To speak with anyone within our circles."

Said the eldest of the two men present, making sure not to seem to exited by the opportunity, he was being granted. The other a much younger man simply nodded not really speaking just observing everything around him.

'These men are supposed to be great educators, sadly all I see are leeches trying to use my family name for their own advantage. To get more of our families magical sequences.'  {Mynrea}

Letting out a sigh as she thought this. Both men looked to her direction expecting her to speak.

"I will assume that both of you heard of the child Lanthim Frenost yes?" [Mynrea]

She asked calmly not giving away what she truly thought of either man.

Both thought on her question, it was true that they had received news from their subordinates, that had been sent to view the match. True a male human capable of what this child had done, was a splendid find for any school wishing to raise the best students possible.

"Yes, I have read the report I was provided concerning his abilities. I do not see why you would bring the both of us to this conversation though. It is not like he can study in two different schools the systems are too different."

The younger man spoke first, his voice bore the authority needed to teach young dragons who would push you till you gave in. Though in truth Mynrea already knew that lanthim, could not attend both schools. What she wanted, was for these two to fight for the right to have him. She was somewhat disappointing by the feel of the conversation, though, it began to seem that neither had any interest in the boy at all.

"I do not see why you would want to sponsor the child of your husband's fourth wife. Just to have him crushed not only by the expectations of his educators  but his peers as well."

The older man finally spoke and it was not something she wished to here. The fact that Lanthim was not her son was not the issue, also he had far too great a desire to seek after more magic to easily be pushed around by others.

"While you say that I think you are more frightened by not knowing what will happen when he arrives and is threatened by some classmate because he is human." [Mynrea]

Placing her hands to support herself as she rose from her seat continuing.

"You fear that he will not deal with the situation with moderation. Simply killing the other without even thinking about the consequences. He has the power, and, ability so just because of a small chance you will not seek to take him." [Mynrea]

Now standing at the door leaving the garden, with a nod. Mynrea left the two men alone to ponder.

Feeling slightly relieved, to leave the two vultures to devour one another, Mynrea made her way. To a small parlor that was being used as her study. Having to send and receive letters, by hand or just using magic she had grown used to. Over the last four hundred years she had lived in the human world. Dragons, on the other hand, had a simpler way, using telepathy to communicate was far more efficient, however, few first order beings were able to use it effectively for communication.

'I wish Lanthim could come stay here with me for a few days. I would love to observe more of his training.' {Mynrea}

She thought to herself, as she stared out the open window, that overlooked the estate in which the boy lived. From the time of the final blow, of his match against Reiflin till now Mynrea, had never seen a more interesting human male since the day she met his father. That being said it was such an interest that pulled dragon females, from one mate to another, in older days. So the separation was a good thing.

'It will be a waste to simply marry him off to some young child. Who will simply see him as breeding stock for their entire marriage." [Mynrea]

Thinking this to herself with a smile, a knock came from the door.

"Enter." [Mynrea]

Her tone carried through the door which swiftly opened.

Through the door came Delphrin head maid who oversaw all the proper functions of the great house.

"My lady, we have received word from lady Litralia some time ago." [Delphrin]

Looking visibly disturbed by something the maid stopped before continuing.

"It seems the young master Lanthim Frenost has gone missing sometime in the night, we are requested to send what assistance we can in order to find him." [Delphrin]

The shock on Mynrea's face from this news was pure, inside all she felt was the worst kind of dread.

"He is gone you say, has anyone informed my husband?" [Mynrea]

This was an important question that needed to be answered. Any news reaching Arielia Strentolos, her mother-in-law of this would cause major problems. Arielia had instructed that Lanthim was to be observed, to ensure that he would remain obedient.

"I believe that a message was sent mistress but not by our side." [Delphrin]

Delphrin confirmed what would possibly, at least in Mynrea's mind would lead to much blood letting.

'Ariela will force Nedral to send someone to bring the boy back. Since he is not confined any longer, he will likely send that person back either badly wounded or worse.'

From what she had seen from Lanthim's action while she stayed and observed him. It was almost definite that something was going to happen when Lanthim's desires and his grandmothers clashed.
