After the sudden outburst from Tilly, everyone looked at Christian like he was crazy.
"Do you know who you're talking to, kid?" Tilly asked but her hand suddenly moved by itself and covered her mouth
When she looked at Christian, his eyes were glowing red and his hands were as though he was playing something
"My bloodline magic doesn't actually require the use of someone's name" Christian said "I just like addressing someone by their names. Also, if you try to fight my control, your eardrums with burst"
"Bloodline magic that works with the use of sound, only the puppet selected can hear the sound" Rielle said as she wrote it down in the book
"What type of instrument are you using?" Dante asked "If you're wondering how I know the instrument varies, then you should blame it on the demon that curse me. I also know it can't be used on someone stronger than you for a long time" he added and Tilly was able to move her body without problem despite Christian trying to control her
"That's shocking. It took me a hundred years to master this and it still has many weakness" Christian said as his eyes reverted back to normal "As for the instrument, it's a guitar. Sweet, right?"
"I've seen better" Rielle said while staring at Nathan as she wrote down everything on Christian
"Stop staring" Nathan said
"Who wants to go next?" Rielle asked and Mackenzie happily raised up her hand "You don't even know everything about yourself so, don't raise up your hand"
"Next person" Dante said
"Can we go together?" Natasha asked while holding Cassandra's hand
"Why?" Rielle asked
"They're the second pair of demon twins" Nathan explained "When using our bloodline magic, they need to be together. That's their only weakness"
"Let me see it" Rielle babbled
"You're more interested in specific people's magic, despite wearing that straight face" Christian mumbled until he saw two serpents moving out from Bats and Cassandra's bodies.
The serpents were made of fire and were one metre tall and five metres long. The serpents coiled themselves and had their heads as the sides of Cassandra and Natasha.
"Ah. A different animal and different color, but the same constitution. As expected from his sisters" Rielle said as she happily wrote it down in her book
"That...is cool" Jerald shouted "Nathan, can you do something like that? It's your bloodline magic. Of course, you can. Right?"
"Maybe I should use mine to burn your corpse to the ground when you die" Nathan said "Trust me. Not even ashes will be left and your soul will burn with it"
"I'm so sorry for disturbing you. It will never happen again" Jerald apologized
"Next" Dante said and Mary walked up
"I got to see a puppet master and fire creation" Rielle said "Your magic is-"
"Death" Mary said
"Death?" Clark said
"My blood and tears kills things within a one mile radius" Mary said "I can't show it here because it's not appropriate" she looked at Clark "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it when you took me in"
Rielle recorded it "I suggest you learn how to control the radius" she said "It'll kill your allies if there is even one drop of blood"
"I know" Mary said before walking back to her position
"Next" Dante said
"I guess it's my turn" Jerald said before tapping his hand on the ground. The place he touched turned from a grassy area to ashes "My bloodline magic turns things that are weaker than me to ashes. Unfortunately, I'm weak compared to my younger brother, Rosco"
"How are you meant to become leader of the tribe with your attitude?" Rosco asked with a frown
"Sorry" Jerald said
"Both of you are brothers? You look nothing alike" Rielle said "Does the magic turn things to ashes or is there-"
"My stupid brother gave another vague explanation" Rosco said "The magic itself is, electricity. The stronger the amount but into the electric shock, the wider the range of things that'll turn to ash" he said before glaring at Jerald "Learn how to pay attention to your own magic. If you ever paid attention, maybe people wouldn't be placing me on that leadership throne without my permission"
"Next" Dante said "We don't have all day"
"I wanna be home by dinner" Mackenzie said
"Brianna and I have the same bloodline" Allen said as he stepped forward and raised his hand. Soon, the whole place was filled with fog
"What is this fog?" Mackenzie asked
"I feel weaker" Jerald said and there was coughing off in the distance
"Allen, stop this fog" Nathan shouted and the fog disappeared. He turned to look at Sloane by his side and asked "Are you alright?"
She was coughing seriously that it made him worry "I'm fine. It's just a slight cough" she smiled
"If you say so" Nathan said
"A fog that takes peoples energy and adds it to our own. That's our bloodline magic" Allen said and Rielle wrote it down
"Next" Rielle said
"I can't participate in this" Clark said "My bloodline is the same as all of the members of the magic association. It's just darkness" he sighed "And Alexa's far worse than me. She shouldn't ever use her bloodline magic"
"I see" Rielle said as she wrote it down "And here I was looking forward to it. Next"
"My bloodline is time reversal" Fernanda said "I can reverse time on things even memories"
"That's a bit scary" Rielle said as she wrote it down "Can you return what you've reversed, back to normal?"
"If I change my mindset" Fernanda said
"Well then" Rielle murmured as she shut her book "The princess is in no condition to use her bloodline magic. To top it off, she doesn't even know her bloodline" she shook her head "I couldn't get data on Alexa, Clark and Mackenzie. But for now, I'll make some adjustments to the training ground with this information. You can all go home and rest. Come back.."
"Tomorrow" Dante said "Your tomorrow, not ours" he said "And when you come back, make sure you have all your stuff because, you'll be living here for the next few months"
"Sure" Nathan said as Dante raised up his hand
A trap door appeared under Nathan and his group. They slowly began to sink into it until nothing was left in their position and the door shut.
Once the door shut, it disappeared and Dante and his wives headed back into the castle.
"Dante, did you tell them the cause of bloodline succession" Rielle asked
"I did" Dante said
"I mean about the fact they won't be able to get married to anyone ever again" Rielle pointed out "I noticed they're not a couple but the child is very important to the two of them. Still, their future with their true partners has been ruined. Did you tell them that?"
"Make a call to Nathan's parents. This is an emergency" Dante said "I didn't tell them anything. I completely forgot"
*****
The door to the human world opened and Nathan and the others walked out with exhaustion clearly written on their faces. They started down the trail to the southern wolf estate with heavy steps.
"In the real world, we only sent seconds. But in the spirit world, we spent hours" Cassandra complained
"It's a good thing we'll be living there from tomorrow" Natasha added "A day here is equal to two years and two days there. Am I doing the math properly, brother?"
"Yes. You've gotten better a critical thinking" Nathan said impressed "With the time we'll spend there, we'll be able to upgrade by a lot before returning back"
"I've got to ask" Allen said "A rumor went around that you had gone missing for some days-"
"Five days to be exact" Josey pointed out
"Where were you during that time?" Allen asked
"By how familiar I am with everywhere and everything in the spirit world, where do you think I was, during those five days? And why do you think I'm certain Dante can teach us?" Nathan asked
"Ten years and ten days in the spirit world" Mackenzie said
"How old were you when you left?" Sloane asked
"I was eight when I went to the spirit world and when I came back out, my mind was like that of a young adult yet, my body never aged" Nathan said "Maybe, my parents banded me from meeting with Dante, because they felt like they had missed ten years of my life"
"I wonder if they'll say 'No' to us staying" Sloane murmured
"Time moves faster there, compared to here. But, if you say there, it'll feel like two days are just one day there" Nathan explained "It's a strange feeling but easy to get used to. Plus, is there anyone who has a problem with their mind aging by two years"
"I don't think mum and dad will let you take Mackenzie" The twins said in unison
"She's my daughter. And I'm giving her permission to do whatever she wants" Nathan said
"Will mum be coming along, dad?" Mackenzie asked and that was when Nathan's steps halted and he picked Mackenzie into his arms
"That depends on her, not me" Nathan said firmly
"I-"
"Sloane, before you answer that, there's something I've been keeping from you" Alexa said "It has to do with the situation you're currently in"
