Chereads / The Dragon Prince: Rise of Callum / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Pai Sho and Moon Arcanum

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Pai Sho and Moon Arcanum

The following morning Callum woke up and changed his clothes. "Palpatine can you buy another pai sho set?" [Certainly host.] [Ding. Host has bought a pai sho set. Host has 11950 system points remaining.] He then walked outside with the pai sho set.

He went towards the table where Soren, Lujanne, Ezran, Bait and Corvus were having breakfast. "Hello everyone how was you're evening?" "Good", "Great", "Fantastic", "It was nice Callum", "Morm(Bait Noise)". With everyone answering he noticed Ezran watching him. "Ezran is something wrong?" "No, just wandering what you have in you're hand." Everyone then looked at Callum, with Lujanne noticing the pai sho set looked exactly like the one she got from Dooku.

"This is an game i invented with Dooku. It's called pai sho. I brought it with me in my bag to explain the rules and play it with everyone. After an hour of explaining the rules and so that Soren finally explained it they played for a while.

When they finished eating breakfast and playing pai sho Callum went towards the library alone where Lujanne was meditating.

"Hello Lujanne can i ask you a question?" "Of course Callum. What would you like me to answer?"

"The last time you explained the moon arcanum to me you said that i needed to understand the relationship between appearances and reality. Can you repeat the words you said to me that day?"

"Sure Callum. The Moon's arcanum is understanding the true nature of the relationship between appearances and reality. By default, most people will believe that reality in itself is the only truth and that appearances are deceiving. However, those who know the Moon arcanum are aware that you can only truly know the appearance itself, and that you can never touch the so-called reality that lies beyond the reach of your own perception."

Callum began to think about those words. "Thank you Lujanne. This will help me to understand the Moon Arcanum better." "No problem Callum. If you need help or advice i'm always available." With that Callum left the library and went towards the moon Nexus.

At the top on the moon nexus he began to sit next to the lake. "So what could it mean?"

With that Callum began to meditate. After thinking of Lujanne's words for a while he had a breakthrough. "What if there are different realms that are outside of our reality. Like the moon druids did. They opened a portal, a shimmering world between life and death. Maybe there are other realms in Xadia than that one."

[Ding. Host has learned an new Arcanum on his own without the help from the system. Because host learned one of the six primal sources in this world, host completed an hidden quest. Because the hidden quest is completed by learning magic. Host will get a free spin with 12 different mages character templates parts.]

A wheel appeared in front of him. They were templates of Merlin(Seven deadly sins), Valtor(Winx Club), The Invoker(Dota: dragons blood), Shazam(DC comics), Zeref(Fairy Tail), Kent Nelson(Dc Comics), Loki(Marvel), Anos Voldigoad(Misfit of the Demon King Academy), Diablo(How Not to Summon a Demon Lord), Shendu(jackie chan adventures), Morgana(Merlin) and Mother Talzin(Star Wars).

[Would host like to spin the wheel?] "Yes i would like that Palpatine. With that the wheeel began to spin. The wheel began to spin slower and slower until it stopped at the invoker template.

[Ding. Host gotten the invoker template parts. Host has two parts of three. Host need to earn the last part in an mission or in the system store for 33 million points]

"Holy potato. Why is the last part of the invoker template so expensive? [Ding. The invoker was a mage that knew everything there is to know under the levels of a god. With the pillars of creation he got to the strenght of creator. The world forge is an spell he created to make the progress less violent of the pillars of creation. This being is so strong, that's why even a part is so expensive.]

"Thanks Palpatine for explaining" With that Callum began to practice with his moon arcanum. He created historia preventum and it was easier than he thought. People began to appear around him. He saw himself(Blue) and Rayla arguing about Runaan. These images brought back some painfull memories, but suddenly he had a thought. In Star Wars the clone wars Yoda was influenced by Sidious because of the connection he has with Dooku. So maybe with this connection he can find where Rayla is and get a little payback. With that he began to meditate and found Rayla in some sort of forrest near a fire. He thought what to do and began to smirk. He had the perfect little payback.

(P.O.V. Rayla)

I sat near the fire with my cuddle monkey Stella. She orphaned until i became her cuddle mama. I gave her some food and she fell asleep afterwards. She began to think about what transpired at the moon nexus, about how she left Callum. "He will understand. When i come back in the future he will be very happy to see me." With that thought in her head she began to make herself sleep ready but suddenly she heard.

"Rayla..." Rayla stood up and looked at the source of the voice that sounded a lot like the voice of Callum, seeing no one, she thought she had imagined it and got back down again. Then she heard the voice again and saw a transparent person that looked like Callum, but was as tall as Soren.

"Rayla... why did you leave?" It was Callum's voice, sounding hurt and betrayed. The guilt began to appear on Rayla's face.

The transparent Callum, surrounded by smoke stood before her. Looking at her with resentment.

"Where were you when i needed you(When he almost died chasing her)"

"I... I made a choice." "I needed to find Viren alone."

"You were selfish!"

"Noo..." The sadness began to appear in her eyes when she heard those words.

"You abandoned me! You failed me! Do you know what i have become?"

Rayla then saw Callum with yellow eyes killing humans, elves and dragons a like.

Author note: I asked people for their opinion on the other novel i will be writing soon. First of Star Wars is a force sensitive universe. To not have the force is really bad in the overall power scale in star wars.

The second wish i wanted to give him is that he learns everything faster. Not super fast, but compared to average person really fast. For example dueling, technology etc.

The third wish is undecided so if people have a suggestion then please leave a comment.
