In few hours time, Tony, Jarnathan, and Iode have gotten to their destination _ Iode's home in Illusium city. The people of Illusium were more than mesmerized when they saw Iode ride a dragon, not to talk about the fact that he was riding with the head of the Zenivia family.
"Mom, Dad, Elena, Elenore, I'm home!!!". Iode said with joy knocking at the door.
His family also have the same reaction the populace of the city had, they were surprised and stunned seeing the people that follows him behind.
"Good day Iode's Dad and mom, it a previlegde to have your acquaintance ". Jarnathan said.
"I'll be going back home, I'll see you when the time comes ". Tony said and he flew off.
"Bye Tony, thanks for your help!!!". Iode said.
Soon, all six of them entered the abode, and hugged Iode tightly. After a long time of reunion, Priscilla and Arthur (Iode's parents) had a discussion with Jarnathan, about Iode joining the Zenivia family.
They agreed with the offer, since it is Iode who has made the decision. The only condition they gave Jarnathan is for their son to be visiting them regularly.
Iode spent a day with his family before returning to Rohanes academy and go to the Zenivia household. A few days have passed, news about Iode's return has spread far and wide across the wizard tribe.
There were rumors about him riding a dragon in his return which of course it's true. Riding a carriage to the capital city to get introduced to the Zenivia family, he was glad to be back.
Getting to the Zenivia residence, he was mesmerized by the size and beauty and grandeur of the site. At the entrance, a large bill board says ' Welcome to the Zenivia Manor '.
The manor is a very large estate with large expanse of flowering plants and exotic trees and animals. From afar, he could count five mansions, all which are big and luxurious laced with sophisticated architectural design.
The estate speaks of power and wealth and looks much more impressive than the Purple tower where the Archmage resides. Iode was taken to a mansion built at the center of the other four.
He got down from the carriage and took just a single luggage with him. He was greeted by Jarnathan who wore his usual purple gown and hat together with the monocle and staff, at the door.
"It good to see you Iode". Jarnathan said.
"Likewise, patriarch". Iode replied.
Attendants came to collect Iode's load and lead him to his room, Jarnathan was tagging not too far behind. Iode stared in awe as he was mesmerized by the intricate beauty the residence extrude. The inside was just as beautiful and impressive as the outside.
Built from stones, precious materials and exotic woods, the mansion was very glamorous.
"Iode, in few hours time, the members of the Zenivia family will come to welcome you officially, till then, feel at home". Jarnathan said.
"Alright sir ". Iode said.
"There's no need of saying sir again, just call me dad, okay". Jarnathan said with a smile.
"Oh, alright... Dad?".
Jarnathan smiled and continued to walk to Iode's room. As they were climbing the stair case, Iode could see a little girl standing at the top, smiling innocently at him.
"Dad, is he the person that joined our family?". The little girl asked as they approach her. The girl has a crimson hair color that was tied up in pony and wore a simple green dress.
"Yes, Vivian, meet your new brother Iode". Jarnathan said.
"Hi Iode, nice to meet you, I'm Vivian, let's be bestest friends". She said with a gaping smile and shook Iode's hand rigorously.
"Oh ok, hehe ". Iode smiled faintly.
Later, Iode got to his room, and it was just as big and glamorous as the rest of the mansion. A single King sized bed was placed at the center of the empty room. Furnished with elegant decor, the room was more extravagant than the academy's dormitory and his house back at Illusium.
His eyes glimmers seeing the room he would be staying from now on.
"Wow, nobles sure are enjoying extravagant lifestyles". He said.
Without wasting time, he laid down on the bed, he was exhausted from the traveling. He reminisced what he read in Igor's grimoire. He learned somethings.
The original five made their powers available for succession because they were having visions about a future he also had in the past, where extraterrestrial lifeform would come to invade their world.
He got to know that their appearance is like that of the people of the former Theron. So, it got Iode thinking whether the invaders were actually extraterrestrial people or indigenes of the heaters who survived the weirdness of the world, like people from the fallen kingdoms of Amoriti, Owo, Castor and Invik.
He got to know that Zalmore, Zenobios right-hand man survived the great war but his whereabouts was unknown till this day. Wherever he went to, no one could survive three thousand years anyways, he would have been a goner for a very long time.
The original five, despite their knowledge, were not aware of the fact that their powers were soul bound and whoever inherits their powers would have a bit of their souls fused with theirs, thereby having an indirect pact with Valier.
' I guess everyone makes mistakes after all '. He thought.
Another thing, he learned that, he was yet to make use of Valiers powers to the max, the original five unlocked a state called the Saiyen mode, where their strength is doubled and unparalleled, however, it seems to consume a lot of mana and doesn't last long.
Each of the original five had conditions to unlock the state, for Igor, it was negative energy. Iode wonders the condition that's necessary for him to unlock the state.
And one pressing question he had on his mind was the person who hid Igor's power. It turns out that it was Igor's first son, Sanhazer, who did not sit well with the way the power was gotten, to deter anyone from having such power, he hid it in a very desolate place where no one would ever reach, until Iode rediscovered it.
"Tch, I'm really sorry Sanhazer for uncovering the power you declared forbidden, I'll do whatever it takes to let go of it just like you did". Iode frowned.
