The final day of the two weeks cool down arrived. Amarok and Mist left the soothing garden.
Both wearing special combat robe. Mist had her sword sheathed and her hairs tied. She looked determined and resolute. Amarok also wore a combat robe with a sword. The duo was ready to leave. Wisdom will be coming with them. He wore a gray clock that hide It body . One will easily mistake it as a regular companion.
Neo stepped out his combat robe ready and his sword sheathed. " where are you going to master " Amarok was stunned. He didn't know he was coming. " we will not be allowed on the mountain but someone still need to escort you " he said seriously. Neo was deeply troubled. He knew if by some luck Amarok and Mist found the dragon breath. They wouldn't be able to go down that mountain alive without his help. At that time he would probably have to reveal it but there was no other way round.
"Unfortunately I can't come with you. but Neo will take care of you. Nothing will happen. he shouldn't even think of coming back here without all of you" he said. Neo rolled his eyes this old man was looking for a beating.
" Take this. It's not the best but should be enough to protect yourself there " Calder took out the box he had brought.
Amarok heart trembled as he guessed what was inside. it was finally here after all this time.
A shimmering sword could be seen in the box. Laying in a white Coton bed. The blade looked unique and magical.
It had an eagle carved at the edge. Mist eyes blinked. " Master it's... " she wanted to speak but Calder stopped her. " it's of no use to me anymore. I wouldn't be able to contain it power soon " he said with a smile.
Both amarok and Neo were shaken. What did he mean. "Stop pouting nonsense master. Where will you go to. I will follow you no matter the place " mist said.
" Don't be stupid. Leave now they are waiting for you " he waved at them. Mist looked with an uncertain gaze. The trio all Bowed and left. Amarok sheathed his second sword on his back. He was boiling in excitement. His first rune weapon was finally here. He couldn't wait to show it to Lyra. But at the same time he was little conflicted at Calder strange behavior.
Neo glanced at Calder and couldn't help but wander. He had been saving to buy amarok a decent rune weapon but he was still far from it. The good rune weapon costed a fortune. it would have taken at least three more months to gather enough. Yet Calder gave such a valuable rune sword just like that. He was immensely grateful and at the same time little apprehensive
Calder stared at the departing figure. " it's drawing closer " he said in a low voice.
Soon enough amarok and his group arrived at Alden academy grounds. The space was vast. Alot of people were present notably.
Aetherial Midrel and five celestial guardians. Kleid, Kinty, Lyra, Silvia, Neo, mist, wisdom and Ofcourse Amarok. Apart from that two other Arcana elder will be going with them. With the other selected candidate. The lineup was astounding.
A huge figure swoop downward. The silver clan leader Skyl would be leading the way. The figure landed with a thud. The area slightly trembled. Causing the onlooker to stare in awe. It had four pairs of huge wings. It huge paws deeply Anchored in the ground. It eyes where sharp and piercing. It looked at them from above. It gaze darted towards the cloack wisdom. Wisdom locked eyes with the beast and didn't backdown. Amarok took him in his arm noticing the menacing gaze of the beast. was wisdom even normal he wandered his eyes where bigger than his stomach. To think such a tiny chubby figure will challenge this gargantuan it was laughable.
" If everyone is ready let's go " Skly said without emotion. The group boarded the huge monster. Only standing on it did Amarok finally realize how big it was. It fur was soft and very comfortable. He actually fell the urge to lie on it. Aetherial Midrel glanced at Neo and nodded.
Standing at the forefront in the comfort of the monster fur she anticipated what will be coming. The monster wing's spread out casting a shadow on all the figures who had come to observe their departure. It flapped out soaring to the sky. It wings generated violent Winds that forced all the onlooker to step back. It whistled forward before disappearing from Alden. It speed was frightening Amarok gripped on the monster fur not to get ejected. He could only cast hateful Stares at Skyl. He wasn't the only one all of them where gripping tightly on the monster fur to avoid being ejected . Skly was still standing with his back facing them. His figure stood proudly against the violent Winds.His hairs blew and danced with it despite that he stood still not moving an inch.
The figure whistled through the void. The days kicked by. They spent three days in a row flying without a single stop. Fortunately they had prepared everything. The Jaguarwing will some time slow and glide with its huge wings for them to rest and eat. after a week of traveling a range of mountain could be seen at the horizon.
On the highest one. The sky looked red and unstable. clouds of ash circled above it. A magnificent spectacle appear. The trees at the bottom of the mountain had sparkling red leaves contrasting with the one before the mountain. A vast see of fire red tress appeared in their view. He caressed his skin. Feeling the slight pain. The temperature had rising abruptly.
The Jaguarwing glided down. With a frightening thud it huge paws collided with the ground. The stones jumped and the area slightly trembled.
Amarok stared at the path ahead of him. The ground was hot. He kneeled to touch it with his palm. He covered his face with his hand a wave red breeze swerping through. He looked like he had entered a world of fire. They had finally reached the Fire mountain.
