Change of Plans

"Therefore, when Jax reaches the age of sixteen, he must go to the kings palace in Helgard. The king is already waiting to meet him, but it seemed liked he already knew we had a child, but asked to lower suspicion. I don't know his reasons for wanting to meet Jax, but I don't think it's wise to go without preparing first. Besides there's eleven more years before we have to consider it." Said Jacob

"The king also gave Jax an invitation to join Helgard Academy when he becomes of age on his tenth birthday. I had no other choice but to accept or the king would have gotten suspicious."

"So I think it's best to go to the mountains and set up our camp in the system of caves I found. Stay there training Jax, until his tenth birthday, and then go to Helgard City so Jax can attend the Academy." Explained Jacob

"Oh my, I had forgotten about the Academy. Yes, Jax dear, you should attend the academy instead only training for years on end. Not only will you learn more about the world, it's different continents and peoples. You'll also get more detailed information and training at the academy." Said Sarah, she was kinda ashamed to admit she had forgotten about the academy.

"Not only that, he'll also learn more about the way people are. Attending the academy and doing well in lessons is just a tiny part of what he'll experience. People, wether they're friendly or hostile, man or woman, dealing with people and learning how to handle the many different and/or dangerous ones is what he must focus on. If you can't tell a friend from your foe, then half the battle is already lost." Jacob said solemnly

"I am fine with whatever, so long as I can continue training and increasing my control of my powers. I've only unlocked 10% of my body's total potential. Thorn still hasn't gained full access to the systems information. He says as I get stronger and can control my powers, he's able to unlock and access more of the systems functions, which in turn grants me access as well." Jax said when his father finished speaking.

"Is there any improvement to your stat panel? You said no matter how many times you fight you still haven't started gaining experience with the system. Does Thorn have any ideas why?" Sarah asked

"He thinks it's because I'm not old enough to use the system yet, however, I have been getting stronger since my stat sheet appeared. It's just that the numerical values haven't changed. I believe it will allow me to use it after my fifth birthday. It seems this system has age locks." Answers Jax

Age Locks, similar to seals, restricted certain parameters set by the creator of the age lock. They could range from locking ones strength, soul power, fighting techniques and magic powers just to name a few.

The system was created by Magnus, who is a Higher God, so these specific age locks would only unlock at the corresponding time.

"I'm 90% certain these are age locks, and Thorn agrees. If that's the case, there's nothing we can do but wait. I will be in my room absorbing energy." Said Jax as he headed towards his room.

"Ok sweetie, we'll discuss the rest of the details and let you know our decision tomorrow." Said Sarah before Jax could completely leave the room.

"Ok mother, I will go now." Said Jax

Jax made his way to his room and entered. Looking around he could see his clothes thrown on the floor around the room, broken weapons and pieces of armor was piled in the corner. He made his way over to his large bed and lays down.

He closes his eyes and says in his mind, "Thorn, please show me my stat panel again."

"It hasn't changed since last time. I told you before, you should wait to look at it until after it activates. Why are you so stubborn?" Came Thorn's reply.

"Just show it to me would you." Said Jax flatly

Thorn replies with a heavy sigh, "Ok Jax, give me a moment."

After looking at his stat panel for awhile, Jax was satisfied with what he say, he just wished he could start improving through the system.

He adjusted his position on the bed, at did his best to get comfortable. Calming his mind and controlling his breathing, he begins to absorb energy.

At first his pace is slow and steady, but soon begins to increase in speed. In no time at all, Jax had fallen into a sort of trancelike state, completely focused on absorbing energy.

During the time Jax is inspecting his stat panel. Jacob and Sarah had went to their own room. It had been several weeks since they had some alone time, and they were both itching to release this pent up frustration.

"Jacob my love, please, make love to me and fall asleep with me in your arms. It's been so long since we last made love." Sarah says while undressing angus getting in the bed.

Jacob, caught by surprise, simply stands there with a dazed look on his face. The next moment, he snaps outta his daze and gives Sarah his biggest and best smile and says, "As you wish my love, for I too, have missed the feeling of you in my arms." he says

Smiling from under the blankets, Sarah replies, "Come my darling, let's give our son a sibling!"
