As the sun rise. Fallion then return to mansion
Samhain greets him
"Welcome my lord....uh...I'm sorry for"
Fallion immediately cut him "no...no it's alright samhain, I understand why you all did this. If it's me back then I would lost my will to live. The damage would be unimaginable to me"
Dofan then ask "I'm sorry fallion but what will you do now?"
Fallion then calmly replied "I take the purifier no matter what, it may anger me the moment my bloodbonded actives but ....I have to save fordragon nonetheless...if it's as severe as you guys said . I have no other option but to protect my brother."
Samhain , Gaz'mirna, josul, a human servant named Farid and dofan says they will accompanied fallion in his journey no matter what.
Fallion agree but he tells them he will need to break the spells today and in two days they will go to Arnis . And the next day they will sailed to fordragon. Whatever the result either fordragon return to mansion or not. They will see to it.
On his way to the city in the very morning he meet the receptionist girl again on her way to mage society
The two then walks together
"So uh...you never introduce me to your name before" said fallion
The girl immediately blushes "uh...my name is Tasha , I'm sorry not many people ask my name"
Fallion then laugh " come on its nothing serious...Im member of mage society too even after my spells broken I may still go to mage society and continue my study. Who knows maybe I will became an arch mage,x
The two exchange laughter and stories.
From afar
Dofan ,samhain and Gaz'mirna spies on fallion
Samhain surprised" is he...is he flirting with that woman?"
Gaz'mirna then relies " yes ....it's a great improvement he usually being bit cold and towards other almost like a daemon"
Dofan then replies " he is....but this one is new"
As fallion and Tasha arrive they saw Noblanc,and jintaro waits for fallion.
Fallion greet them both "morning you two...I'm here"
Noblanc take a deep breath "well I gues we do it regardless,"
Jintaro nod his head " yeah let's do it when there's not many others. I already set a room for this".
As the three enters a basement room full of magical equipment looks so bright and shiny may as well the most expensive magic equipment fallion ever saw.
Tasha then joins them " the elder want me to help you all. He said I may be could help"
Jintaro smiles " yeah we need as much help as we could"
Before began fallion ask this " I'm sorry everyone , I thank you all for helping me but there's something bothering me
But ever since we meet Mr Noblanc why did you go all of this to help me. I doubt it's only because I save that village "
Jintaro then laugh "yeah you asking this confirm you aren't really a keen student aren't you"
Noblanc also smiles with Little laugh he handed a book to fallion
"Hm...a book of guidance for mage society, I already read most of this. All of it's important point" said fallion
Noblanc then says " yeah but you never reach the final page of the book"
As fallion open the final page. He saw many names. Include a small picture of important person .
In there he smiles in disbelief.
Founding of the mage society all
contributed to a picture without a name. A picture fallion knows well.
The Arch Duke Drake Blood.
Fallion smiles knowing his father help the founding of the mage society.
They all then began to purifier fallion
Noblanc said " a normal spells would only required you to drink it but. This spells been linger around for 10 years so it was on your entire body.,"
Jintaro added "you not only required to drink this but also submerged in one."
Fallion then ask "do I need remove my clothes?"
Tasha blushes and surprised.
Noblanc but then tells him "no it's alright..there's a girl in here. And it's liquid anyway it will get into every part needed as long you submerged"
Jintaro tells them
"Tasha will now hold your head casting a magic that will help you to hold your breath, but at some point the magic will also got dispelled so you will need to hold your breath for two minutes at maximum "
Fallion then drink the purifier and go into a cauldron where he then submerged in it with Tasha touching fallion head from above.
This surprised fallion for a liquid he felt the water is so dense almost like he was submerged to the ground.
As the purifier began to react Tasha pull her hands.
Fallion then focus his mana flow in his body to reduce the shock his unleashed mana would do.
Noblanc and jintaro put Barrier magic in case the pulse will be destructive.
They were right a strong shocks then released shaking the entire building in instant
The massive pulse even cause many holy pylon to switched off.
Which alerted some guards and paladin but dofan already there ensure everyone this is just malfunction.
How the hell even spell could malfunction.
As the shocks end fallion comes from the cauldron but his body suddenly were on intense pain.
Because the effect of his released mana.
As he was screaming in pain. Tasha then comes to him try to heal fallion but stopped by jintaro as the goblin explains it will be too dangerous due fallion intense dark magic and mana. Tasha feels sad as he could only watch fallion screaming in pain.
But after couple of minutes. The pain stopped and fallion get back up.
Jintaro then prepare a warm clothes for fallion to change .
As fallion still week and try to get back up.
Noblanc and jintaro agreed fallion was already purified.
With this the two then take him to medical wings to get treatment.
After some hours fallion then we're allowed to return. Dofan then carries him in his horse and ride him far enough outside the city where samhain and Gaz'mirna fly him back to the mansion
Tasha were givem the prescription for fallions medicine.
Only then she was allowed to Drake blood mansion. Where she with other servants take care fallion.
Even though she was shocked about the mansion inhabitants. She was reliefs as she was well receive.
The next day as fallion still weak he feels a surge of vision and feeling flows through him.
He became violent and try to get out from the bed. While still in pain.
Gaz'mirna and dofan then carries him back to the ground and watch him as fallion seems filled with emotion love, anger , all of those barrage his mind and souls which cause him in pain.
Until the nights where everything seems fine fallion who still weak but already could walks fine . Began to walks to his mother's burial site. Tasha tries to stop him but fallion move so fast that he looks like blink from one point to another.
Tasha inform Gaz'mirna and dofan
They all then go to the burial site.
Where they saw fallion touch his mother's coffins.
Only then surge of memories flows into his Brain
He saw a horrific feeling and experienced.
He saw how the cultist torture his mother where they slowly cut her. And heals all over again.
How they break Katherine both bodies and spirit. To the point she was forced to crawl in the piles of corpse begging to be freed. Tears and agony was experienced by fallions. As he saw the memories seeing his mother's who he saw as valiant heroes were broken to pieces , there he saw a vision of an outer god's zotho slowly takes her souls causing her to scream to her lung, seeing all of this fallion then unleashed a massive mana surge which felt to the entire Drake Blood domains.
Even many guard who reside not far from domains felt it. A massive energy wave .
As his rage continue Tasha then hold fallions hands , only then fallions rage began to fade.
Gaz'mirna,and dofan then carries fallion back to his room.
Ok the next morning fallion shows he is already fully recovered.
"Yo everyone, I'm sorry for the yesterday."
Said fallion calmly.
Everyone then rush towards him ensuring fallions condition.
Fallion only replied with smiles "well I'm hungry what's for breakfast?"
Samhain then prepare the table for his lord
Dofan then follows fallion to the table.
"So you are okay now?"
Fallion smiles " yeah I got a bit of shocked and hate for the vision but I already imagine things goes like that long ago so nothing new. It's just caught me off guard that I would witness it with my eyes".
Dofan then sigh on relief" you are truly mature after all"
The two then focus on the planning for their departure.
Fallion then ask where Tasha whereabouts.
But samhain replies she already return for her duty at mage society.
Fallion then ask samhain "why none of yet ever tells me that dad is among the founder of mage society"
Samhain only replied " well my lord I thought you knows , I mean where else we could have s full top notch library contain many forbidden books and knowledge"
As fallion and dofan having a breakfast.
A strange vision then comes to fallion
He immediately get up and startled.
Dofan ask " what's wrong?,"
Fallion then tells " I have a bad feeling about this uncle. After having a breakfast we will leave asap"
The two then having their meals and after it fallion,dofan, Gaz'mirna, samhain and a human servant named Farid began their expedition to coastal city of Arnis.
The journey takes 10 hours of ride.
On the afternoon they manage to get in there.
Fallion goes to harbor and asking for information. For a bodyguard and mercenary as well as supplies that will help them in their journey
Not long after the group were greeted by the Miko. Telling she was pleased to see fallion. Behind her she saw atleast a hundred of samurai on her command. She then informs they will sailed on the samurai ship on the morning.
Fallion and the group agrees.
However not far from there rygs Lambert watches .
And smirk.
On the morning fallions who just woke up. Saw the Miko half naked sitting on a fence while facing the sea.
Fallion blushes for a moment but still approach her
"So uh...you sure you don't need more clothes?"
The Miko chuckle " oh no....I just love feeling the sea..." The Miko then continue "I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable"
Fallion began to red "What? No...no... It's alright,it's not what I meant"
The Miko then ask "do you have someone special in your heart sir fallion?"
Fallion then answer " no....aside from my family and my servants,I don't have many people that close let alone I cherish that much".
Miko then shows an empathic face "I see. I bet you haven't have any forms of bonding with a woman don't you?"
Fallion smiles "nah ... not that I don't know. Most of my knowledge comes from books. Some explain it to me biologically wise and more..... and...it's probably one of josul adults book collection"
Miko then laugh "haha I envy you truly, you have such innocent I wish I had".
Fallion ask "how about you then? "
Miko then blushes "me? Unfortunately a holy figure like me are prohibited for having relationship. I was already lucky enough to be alive, my parents were slain by the utakata. I was about to meet the same fate but was spared for my gift."
Fallion backs down " oh I'm sorry to hear that"
The Miko then smiles " no need to. As I was became a miko I abandoned my name ,and became utakata's Miko and with it I help their soldier raze many village, slain many innocent, until I was liberated by lord Yarinaga. I was then transported to kashima's region, but even then it's not because they wanted to stop the genocide the utakata did. They just wanted me on their side. With my gift. The moment I have intercourse with a man I will lost my gift.
On that moment they won't hesitate to dispose me."
Fallion was shocked to heard that "why don't you just run ?"
The Miko with a sad face " where to? How would I?, those samurai companion of mine is my jailers. The moment I betrays Yarinaga their blade will pierce my throat
That's why I could only think a little of their life as a mere tool. I dreamt of being free but at this point with all of those information the only freedom I could afford is death."
Fallion was stunned heard all of that
"If I stop my brothers is there's a chance you coul.."
Before fallion could finish his sentence"no...there's even if yarinaga won, I'd still be their weapon, and should I outlived my usefulness...." The Miko wipe tears in her eyes " what a wretched life I live don't you think? Many claims life is a blessing. And yet here I'm. Being jailed by those samurais the moment I turn useless or against them those samurai won't even hesitate, nor does the kunoichi behind us"
The kunoichi who fought fallion before revealed herself "no hard feeling I too just doing my jobs they have my family you know."
The Miko then smiles "yeah ,"
The kunoichi added" I pity you if I were you I do just gonna take my own life. Its just way to much you know,"
Fallion say with a troubled face " I ... with there's something I could do for you for everyone "
Miko then gently speak " thanks I gues I take this as a favor my entire life this is the first one someone offers a help for me"
The three then watch the sunrise however not long after the kunoichi is sense a danger.
"Guys we got to leave" says her.
"This is bad " follows her.
The Miko and fallion then stand facing the direction of the forest.
As they see a strange man slowly walking towards them.
