In a majestic dining room there was a plethora of people at a long table, and more standing to the side while others prepared the table for the feast that was to take place as usual.
At the head of the table was Horo's father, Marceles, to his right was his brother Marcus, while to the left it was the family steward Oswalt. Himora was on the right side as well as the other family members like their aunt Anna, who was visiting because she heard of her special nephew's advancement, and their other uncle Jake, who they only seen about three times since being born.
Their uncle Jake who was the youngest sibling, never was around because he liked to roam the lands and follow his heart, even if it was into a bloody war or falling in love with another man's wife. Though Marcus and Marceles had many speculations about their bloodline, their younger brother was nearly certain it was special and was connected to their heart not just their intuition.
Everyone on the left side were Horo and Himora's masters, and Aslana.
They were chatting happily as their was a lot of catching up to do as always since the only ones who normally see each other are the twins Marcus and Marceles since they both live on the family's estate.
There was also a little bit of reminiscing of the times when they grew up, and it helped Himora learn more about her relatives.
Suddenly Jake spoke " And I was just about to ask where's my dark horse of a nephew."
Everyone wondered what he was talking about until the doors began to open. This left everybody puzzled because they were all powerful enough to squash Horo but everyone was used to not being able to sense him.
Letting suspense build for a couple of seconds while everybody all eyes were on him with a questioning look, Jake responded as if understanding the question "It was my heart, it easily felt him coming." he said coolly
"I see you've dug deeper into the mystery of our bloodline." Said Marcus
"More like deeper into the bloodline it's self oh foolish big brother of mine" Responded Jake
Marcus rolled his eyes and was about to retort but Horo beat him to it, "Uncle Jake what is it about our bloodline you mentioned."
" I'm surprised these two knuckleheads that had to be my older brother's didn't babble on to you about all of the speculation that they have concerning our bloodline. I have no speculation only advice for you, no matter what follow your heart, keep your mind open in order to hear its voice, and embrace its true nature and you'll see what's special about our bloodline." Jake said mysteriously
Horo pondered as he walked to sit next to his uncle Jake , he asked Alma " Hey Alma could our bloodline be able to utilize heartforce?
Instead of answering she asked a question in return "What made you asked that question father?"
Horo replied "Because I just had flashes of memories when my uncle gave me that weird advice about the heart and out bloodline"
Alma said " Yes I know that but why would it be related to heartforce that may not even exist in this world?"
Horo thought before answering confidently "Because I may have never achieve the first level of heartforce to be able to sense it, but after recalling some guidance bestowed upon me by Houyi, I remember hearing him say something extremely similar. As you know he is the ancestor who discovered heartforce, also I'm sure that's what my uncle used in order to sense me before me being present in the room."
Horo wasn't walking slow to his seat it's just that him and Alma's conversations are mental and happen much faster than normal due to processing capabilities.
He has just reached his seat after their short conversation but before he could sit down he was nearly tackled down by his little sister Himora who began happily screaming " Oh how I've missed you so much big brother, life gets pretty boring when you're not around as much as you normally are."
"I can tell by the way you nearly tackled me like a linebacker" Horo responded with a huge smile on his face as he embraced his little sister whom he cherished more than she could know.
Himora responded with a question and a retort " What is a linebacker brother? And cut the crap I can't tell you've become much more powerful by how you didn't even budge when I just purposely ran into you full force."
Horo was stomped because he just accidentally used a term that only existed in the old times of earth.
Before he could respond his father spoke loudly while trying to fake a stiff face, "Himora don't hog your brother we all miss him"
Jake responded to that by saying "More like we are all curious about your advancement and the phenomenon weird phenomenon that follow after. "
Next his master Jin also chimed in "Definitely we're all curious, as we can already see and sense certain changed like the golden characters on your forehead.
Horo responded " Yes, I've had Superb changes occur and I can't explain much yet as I'm still learning myself, but I can say that I already have a class that surpasses hidden classes, and what Phenomenon are you guys talking about?
