Chereads / The Wyldhardt Saga / Chapter 17 - 3rd POV

Chapter 17 - 3rd POV

Back at the Castle you can see Mysthia Wyldhardt and Francis Wyldhardt, the King and Queen of the kingdom arguing about a few people with Someone familiar.

"You can't tell me that they are really coming here can you?"

The familiar figure frowns but then smiles thinking of his grandson.

"Yes my dear daughter-in-law, the women that he has been promised to have stated their desire to come to Spartos Academy. They wish to see their Groom to be."

As he spoke King Francis was visibly upset, but for the wrong reasons.

"I am so jelo- *AHEM* I mean, I am appalled that you are allowing this father."

Mysthia didn't miss the slip up as she gives her husband a bloodcurdling smile. Kayde's grandfather smiles at his son's antics.

"The promise helped us get better relations with the other nations and it allowed us to broker trade deals and treaties of peace. I feel that it is a fair trade. Plus, I hear that he has a very unique bloodline. He will be fine."

As he finished a glowing white portal opened up and a woman with features that made her look like she was a sibling to King Francis walked through. As she looked around and saw Kayde's grandfather she smiled and ran to him.

"Rayleigh, I am back!!"

At the mention of his name Kayde's grandpa hugs the woman and gives her a kiss. Francis seems frantic and starts to tear up.

"Mother, where have you been?"

She looks towards her son smiling.

"I've finally reached Rank A, that's why I've been away for so long. I can now activate my full draconic form. By the way, I heard that I have a grandson and not only that but that he awakened a very unique bloodline. Care to talk about it?"

Francis and his father both sigh.

"It'd be better if you heard it from him directly."

Then Kayde's mother gets upset.

"We trailed off from our previous conversation. We were talking about all the daughters from each kingdom coming here to be with my son!"

Rayleigh looks to his wife as he feels like his head could explode at any moment.

"Kaliyah, let me explain."

Kaliyah starts to emit a golden energy that shapes into flames showcasing her anger.

"Did you do exactly as I warned you not to do!?"

Rayleigh starts to fear for his life as Mysthia joins Kaliyah in her verbal thrashing towards him. As that's occuring Francis speaks up.

"Mother, you still haven't explained why you've finally came back.

"Well due to how bloodlines can be finicky especially when a dragon has children with dragons, it's been noted that in the past children have gotten Wyvern Bloodlines instead of a draconic one. As I worried for you two before I knew of the pregnancy. I scoured the realm for an item that could help him or her gain one of he needed it. A Crystalized Dragon Heart, if anyone with a wyvern bloodline uses it, their bloodline will change to a matching draconic one. I guess though my fears were unwarranted."

Mysthia starts to walk towards Kaliyah.

"Not entirely true, I know someone who could use it."

"Who?"

"Hillary Duncan from the house of Duke Duncan. She has a frost wyvern bloodline."

"Why would you choose her?"

Knowing how obsessed with those in the family with a strong draconic heritage Kaliyah is, she relays her reasoning and leaves her to ponder.

Mysthia calms down and then Kaliyah speaks.

"Still, I do not care who is with him. As long as my grandson is alive I will support his decisions. If something were to happen to him though, I don't care if you are his parents or my son because I will kill all those responsible in my eyes."

After that was said everyone got a chill running down their spine. Rayleigh then speaks up.

"I know that Dragon kind are a near extinct species while the Wyldhardt bloodline is the only one that can evolve into dragons without issues, that doesn't mean that you should get so overprotective of him."

"Rayleigh you do not understand do you? As I ascended to Rank A I had a vision. In it I saw many more dragons of every known and unknown elements and affinities flying around. The one leading them all, it was your grandson surrounded by his wives. He will bring back my species from near extinction! That is why I'm so obsessed with him and why I imprinted onto him."

Rayleigh puts up his hand to stop his son and daughter-in-law.

"She wasn't the one who gave birth to Francis. He knows this and still would object to this anyway. Mysthia I know how this all seems but do not worry. Kaliyah and I were nothing more than a marriage of politics. We never loved one another, how else do you think that after Francis' mother has passed he hasn't gotten another sibling?"

'Besides, I'm too afraid of her to do anything.' he thought.

As he finished you could feel the awkward air surrounding everyone. Then Kaliyah speaks up.

"Even if he was as he evolved his blood would change to where he would have no ties to this family through his blood. You did know that didn't you?"

As they nodded their heads a large shockwave erupts from the direction of the academy.

(Kayde's POV)

15 minutes ago...

As I walked through the halls while Liliana rested I pulled out the potion from my coat.

'I've finally decided what to do.'

I tighten my grasp on the potion and make my way to the Garden. As I arrive I notice that it almost looks exactly the same as the one back home. The only difference is that the colors from the structures blend easier into the foliage and there is some overgrowth making the garden seem like it's not taken care of but I see that is nothing by a mere aesthetic choice. I take off my coat, my shirt, and sit down as I make my way to the grass patch in front of the pond.

I sit down, open up the potion, and gulp it down. As I feel it make its way to my stomach there is an immediate effect. I start to feel my blood boil and a red metallic liquid with flecks of gold start pouring out of my eyes, nose and mouth. As this I happening a large pillar of White energy erupts from my body.

I can feel immense pain as my blood starts to feel like lava burning me from the inside out and I noticed as my blood keeps pouring out of my body that it's changing from its previous red hue to a golden one. As my body becomes wracked with pain I cough up globs of black blood in the process.

As I try to move over I can smell a disgusting scent. It smells like bile that sat in the garage for days in the sun. Resisting the urge to vomit I look over and see a black substance coming out of the pores of my skin. Then afterwards my own hair falls out and my skin starts to peel off.

Then I realized that the pain I previously experienced was nothing as I start to scream out while my muscles become exposed and then I see my organs destroying themselves and reforming. My bones snap in everyway possible and restore themselves as fast as it happened.

During this whole process I couldn't think while trying to block out some pain as I noted that my whole body seems like it's being Purified and reformed all at once.

The pain blocks out more of my thoughts as I hear Liliana call out to me and I see her struggling against the wall to walk to me. At the same time I feel the presence of my family running over with a familiar and one unfamiliar face. As they come over I pass out while my transformation is still occuring.

(3rd POV)

As the Wyldhardt family, Liliana, and even the new additions to Kayde's growing family all run up to the phenomenon that's occuring. As the pillar dies down they begin to see the result of his change. Ignoring his body Liliana's and Mysthia's screams could be heard as they spot all the red and gold blood with skin, entrails, and muscle all strewn around Kayde's figure.

Kaliyah uses a spell to lift his resting figure and clean it off. As she lays his body down into the arms of his mother and Fiancee they begin to cry wondering how much pain he was going through for the changes he wanted.

"It seems that he drank a Purity Potion."

They all look at Kaliyah in surprise due to the potion spoken of. Rayleigh starts to frown and then speaks.

"How did he even get one is my main concern."

Kaliyah smirks and points out his blood.

"It seems that he has become much more divine in nature."

Francis speaks up as she sits.

"Still, this must've been extremely painful. Also, I would assume with his purity increased he may have a more difficult time advancing."

They all nod their heads as Rayleigh steps forward.

"We need to take him back to the castle. Make sure to gather those close to him and bring them with."

Francis agrees and runs off towards the Headmaster's office.

"Everyone else, let's be off."

Kaliyah picks up Kayde while the others follow behind as Rayleigh takes the lead.
