"Today we will learn how to control your Aura. For starters just understand this, Aura is like your feelings, but these feelings can't be hidden like a normal human emotion."
"But a person who understands aura can change his emotions into elements, and if he truly masters it, he can even change his aura, which means the element also changes. But its efficiency will be hampered."
Zeno's grandpa was one of the four masters of the Dane who mastered Aura control. And there were less than a hundred people who mastered Aura control.
"Uh... Grandpa so how do I learn to control my aura?"
"First we will have to learn what type of Aura is concentrated in you, you see an aura is not stable it keeps on changing, but there is a certain type of aura concentrated in each. Mine is neutrality, that is normal. It appears in people when they don't differentiate between anything. Ain't you proud of your grandpa?" He smirked at his grandson to cheer up his mood.
"Huh... Yes, you are great... So how can we know which type of aura I have?" Zeno was already stressed so he decided to toss off his grandpa's question.
"Hmm, now that you mention it, we will have to meet an old master of mine." Grandpa closed his eyes to concentrate.
"Your... Master? He's alive? How old is this freak anyway?" Zeno was shocked to hear about his grandpa's master.
"Oho, he's well over a hundred years, his ability increases his lifetime, almost by three folds."
"Wow... Such an oldie he is... Where can we find him?" Zeno was curious to meet his grandpa's master.
"Huh that master of mine really loved the beasts... So yeah, he lives at the mountain of beasts." His grandpa sighed while telling him about his masters location.
"W... What the... You kidding me?! The mountain of beasts?! Everyone knows how dangerous that place is! There are only few plants that are edible over there, and water is also very scarce, how the heck can he live over there?" Zeno half yelled on hearing the name of a mythical mountain which was known to be home of almost all the beasts.
"As I told he love beasts, he has tamed many beasts, and now he lives near the pond of tears which is located near the peak of the mountain. It provides water, and his tamed beasts search for food, and he even feeds on wild beasts." His grandpa explained about his masters life style.
"Wow... So he eats beast meat huh... So his mana production rate must be really high." Zeno wondered about this weird master.
"Yeah, so when should we get going for the mountain of beasts?" His grandpa asked him.
"You asking me? And why should we go, we can send some messenger."
"Huh... Any messenger would be killed by the beasts... And you will have to pack you backpack too, the trip won't be an easy one. Yeah my master may be strong, but he can't walk much due to his age, so he travels with the help of his beasts."
"Oh... So I think in two days, we can get going to the mountains. I wish I could talk to mother..." Zeno sighed.
"Don't worry about her kid, just learn the second ability and she will treat you just like Alisha." He patted Zenos back to bring him out of his thoughts.
Zeno walked back to his room after spending another hour discussing about the tools needed to travel at the mountain of beasts.
'I have most of the things except red dragon claws...' He scratched his head trying to figure out how to get red dragons claw, but had no clue.
"Ahhhh!!! Where can I find this stupid thing?!!" Zeno was really confused and had no idea where to find that thing.
*Thud Thud*
"Hey you pathetic bastard!! Why the hell were you screaming right now?!! Want me to peel your skin off with a vegetable- pealer?!!"
"O-oh! Sorry sis... It was just I couldn't find something..." Zeno replied when his sister surged at his door truly with the intention of breaking of it.
"Shut up! What can't you find? We are Danes we can get anything, and you maggot! Open your door I will just crush it, and then I will crush you!"
"Y-yes!! Just a sec!"
Zeno unlocked the door to find his sister standing out there her face red in furry.
"I... I'm sorry I didn't meant to... Screa-"
*thud*
The moment the door opened she kicked on his balls making him collapse on the floor.
"You better explain yourself."
"O... Ouch..." Zeno crawlled on his bed, paralyzed due to pain.
"The thing is... Grandpa told me he is going to take me to the mountain of beasts to meet his old master. But as you knows mountain of beasts is full of deadly beasts and to repel them we need the claw of red dragon..."
"Huh... He decided to take a freak like you over there instead of me?! That old man..." Alisha was not happy about the information she received.
"The thing is... He said that his master can help me know about the concentration of aura in me, which will help me to build up my energy and if I get lucky I might get a second ability." Zeno never wanted to tell her about hai trip with grandpa but she left him no other choice.
"He still expects you to get a second ability? He's some pathetic freak... But I wanted to go there for a while now... And it seems I can now."
"Hey sis... Why do you want to come... You are strong what will you get?"
"Idiot I might be trained by grandpa's master too!"
"Yeah... But we can't go until we have the red dragon claw or else we will be dead meat."
"Don't forget whom you are talking to! The princess Alisha also known as the red dragon herself!"
"So you telling that you have that claw?"
"Yeah I do, fathers friend gave it to me on my third birthday on seeing how strong I was."
"Great! So we can get to mountains day after tomorrow!"
"Yeah... Now im going to mother, and don't scream again or she will rip you into pieces."
"C... Can I come to her?" Zeno asked about a thing which was impossible to get for him, but still his heart couldn't take that fact.
"Huh... You know she hates you right? You are such a dummy."
"Oh... Okie you can go now..."
"When did you started giving me orders? Want to be painted in your own blood?" Alisha mocked him knowing about his fear to blood.
"No no... I was just saying so you can spend your time in more valuable things rather than spending it on someone worthless like me, that's it nothing more than that!" Zeno panicked cause the only thing he can't resist is his fear to blood.
"Good bitch, I and mother have a special gift for you on this birthday." She smirked and left the room.
'Sigh, she is one scary sister... But I wonder what gift they will give me... I never got one.' Zeno wondered about the gift he might get on his birthday and soon feel asleep.
