Chapter 13 - Something New

(System deactivate trigger barrier)

"Trigger Barrier Deactivated"

(OK..... Now it's time to go back to my room.)

*Freeze*

Amal froze in his spot after noticing a strange figure in front of him

He slowly looks up and notices a pair of sharp golden eyes looking at him

(Uhhh….)

(When did he get here?)

" hmmm…. And what took you so long little one?"

(Huh?!)

(Ahh…. It's father!!!)

(Crap?! SINCE WHEN!)

(Wait!?)

(haaa.. I see since the beginning)

(So he was the presense I felt earlier.) (No wonder they weren't a threat!)

"Amal….."

Amal looks up at Kaylus

"Amal…. It's time for bed."

Kaylus picks amal up and carries him back toward his room

(I can't believe it was father who caught me.) (Well a least I didn't go with my first idea in bringing Mr.book out.) (But why would he be out this late anyway)

*Smirk*

(Also why is he smirking it kinda-)

(This is the first time I held him since he was born.)

*Tap* *Tap* (Nian/Archibald)

We finally made it! -Archibald

Shh….! You don't want to wake up everyone – Nian

Oops…. Ha Ha Archibald say while scratching his head

While they where converting in their conversation a shadow like figure approaches them.

Nian notices first and tells Archibald.

They both become shocked to find out that it's Kaylus with his new born child.

"And to what do I owe another visit to Archibald .... Mr.Hawk" in a underlying tone.

(Who are they?!)

(Mr.Book)

(Yes.)

(Do you know who they are to my father)

(As a matter of fact I do) (The one on the left is Archibald- you and your father are his descendants.)

(So like a whole lot of great grandfather.) ( He doesn't look like one though.) (He looks to be about 30)

(That's because beast men ages are different than humans, but not as fast as elves and spirit humans)

(Cool!)

(But why doesn't dad have his ears or a tale) (Because, he's not a full beast man)

(That will be for a later date) (But I didn't ask anything) ( I had a feeling you would ask)(And so the other is Nian Nighthawk- he's a dwarf as you can see,but not just any dwarf. He's the Ancestor of the Dwarfs and potentially the elves as well.) (Well I'm glad I'm getting a history lesson, but I'm getting quite sleepy) *Yawn*

We only wanted to see the lil cub, since no one was allowed to come near the mansion while (she) was giving birth. -Archibald

And that gave you the right to sneak through the halls this time of the night. You could've came in the morning. Kaylus says in a disappointed tone

Well this is a good chance at anytime, but I believe it's time for the little one's sleep time. Look he can't even keep his eyes open.

After nians remark everyone looks towards Amal.

Amal half sleep asks… (why is everyone is looking at me)

While amal sleeps kaylus feels fulfilled with holding amal while he's sleeping.

Then a smirk emerges from the corner of his cheeks.

(I think it's time for Amal to see his mother)

The Next Day:

*Whisper* *Whisper*

Awaaaah….. (I guess it's morning now)

(Hmm)

(What's with all the whispering?)

"It seems as though the lady of the manor is coming."

(Really?) (Mother?)

(Yes)

(Since early this morning before day break the maids have been getting ready for something.)

(Oh….. ever since I was born I only saw a glimpse of mother) (I wonder what she's like.)

(Maybe you'll get to see her when she arrives)

"But for now –"

"I see that your awake young master amal"

A women in maid attire that seems to shine from her presence alone comes to greet amal.

(Who is she?) (She does seem familiar)

"Hehe, are you curious young master on who I am?"

"I have been taking care of you since you were born, well not just me."

"I come from a race of fairies. My name is (Suki)" , we choose our masters when they are born or for rare occurrences through a prophecy."

"I am the eldest daughter of the fox fairy tribe."

"Later I'll introduce you to my sisters, but for now it's time for young masters bath."

(A fairy?) ( Is that why she shines even when the lights are dim)

(Hold on ..... a bath?)

(I thought they weren't required since I didn't have to take a physical one.)

(No I'm fine)

Amal shakes his head to "Suki" to jester that he does not want a bath.

"Are you shy?"

Suki smirks at Amal in a cheeky way and carries amal out the door. Meanwhile he was trying his best to climb out of her arms to escape.

A Few Moments Later

(I didn't know you didn't like baths Amal)

(Hush!)

(We shall not have this conversation again)

Amal pouts with steam coming from his ears while Mr. Book laughs at him

( Aside from my embarrassing side.)

(Mr. Book, since its lunch time now should we get started with the lesson.)

"First what would best suit you for me to teach you."

(Hmm… how about a stick)

"A…. Stick"

(Yeah like one of those sticks that teachers use to point with at the board)

"Like this"

*Puff*

(No not a branch from a tree!)

(Ah!, A wand like a wizard!)

*Puff*

Mr. Book transforms into a wand that resembles one from a specific TV show from earth.

When Amal notices it his eyes lights up like firecrackers on new years day.

(I think l've chosen the right transformation for you Mr. Book)

"Indeed, you have. It's easier to teach when you can demonstrate the lessons."

"First, what do you know so far about the kingdom your in."

(Hmm…. First my father is the monarch of the North Kingdom; which I'm in now.)

(Second, from yesterday I know that this is a beast Kingdom or sorts)

(Also, it seems as though there are other races besides beast people.)

"Well, you are still a baby so there is only limited knowledge."

"This is the North kingdom that governs all different types of beast. There is no descrimatory of race here because this kingdom relies more on what you can bring to the table more so than your race."

"They specialize in training the young for the best. But there is one flaw that they have and it's a limited amount of education amongst the people." "In each country there is a ranking system."

"The lighter the color the more higher in rank you are, but the more darker your color is the lower rank you are. This is a fact except for the monarch."

"The North Kingdoms Color is….. black"

"So that means no ones color can be darker than black, because that means your apart of the monarch regime."

"Now on to the next course. We have many different materials that only reside in the North Kingdom, for that purpose we have one of the richest currency between the 4 main kingdoms."

"Speaking of which, you've already met a few of the representatives of the 4 main kingdoms."

"The ancestor for the North Kingdom, Archibald Leonel. He is the only last standing pureblood of the lion tribe. As you can tell by his beard. (Or maine) The North Kingdom holds many mix blood, thanks to Archibald. Unlike some he is one of the strongest Ancestors that keeps the north together from the other purebloods."

The second one you've met yesterday as well. The ancestors of the Dwarfs. He is a pureblood as well, but most of his tribe has become mix. He is of the East Kingdom. They have unique talents of building and creating things. The most talented ones teach at schools that are funded by each monarchs noble.

The two you haven't met will be studied later."

"Now what questions do you have young lord."

(Young lord?)

"Since you are the current monarchs first born you should get use to people calling you "Young Lord" as such."

(Alright, but until we find or regain your memories I would feel more better if you would call me by my given name.)

(Amal… or a nickname if you want)

"No Problem Al"

Amal was satisfied by the nickname that Mr. Book had given him.

(My first question is….. how many purebloods are there in each kingdom?)

"Too many to count."

"But, there is a suppose it island were all the purebloods retire from go to."

(What's the name of the island?)

"A.N. Island"

(What does the A.N. represent?)
