Hundred Heads
The culprit is just waking up from his sleep. Stretch a bit and goes to the toilet. After emptying his stomach from toxic, he gets on the bed and sleep once again. Jason rolls his eyes, "Young master it is already afternoon. How long are you going to sleep?"
The young master that still wants to sleep has to get up. He knows if Jason is asking "how long?" That means he is out of the patient.
"I already awake. Just embracing the soft mattress. Hehehehe."
"Everyone wants to meet you before they return to their territories."
"Who is everyone?"
"The people that you saved last night."
Mikayla hurriedly get changes and goes to the main hall. The hall is busy and bustling with people. waves of laughter can be heard. The survivors from last night look like to have fun and forgot that they almost die last night.
When Mikayla enters the hall all of them turn around and they cheer seeing him. The survivors come and hug him. Mikayla shocked but still hug them back and pat their back a little.
"Thank you for saving us last night. We almost lost hope but then you...you saved us all."
After all the survivors thanking him before they return to their own territories. Mikayla is exhausted from all the hugging and his arm almost broken because of the strong grip when they shake hand with him.
Mikayla has his lunch and then he returns to his room. Mikayla walks around his room and then he builds a barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Jason, you once said that my father searches for me but how long it has been?"
"How long? Well, he has come to meet us about fifty years ago to ask if we had any news about you."
"Fifty years ago! Does that means I'm not a fourteen years old boy?"
"Of course not, if counted your real age before you hatch from the crystal egg then you probably around a thousand years old."
"But you said my father comes fifty years ago."
"Your father will come every few decades to ask for your information. He has been doing this since a thousand years ago. Why are you asking about this?"
"Someone told me that I'm actually a thousand years old." Mikayla feels dejected, he actually an old man.
Jason alarmed when Mikayla said someone told him about his real age. Only the servants know his real age.
"Who is the one that told you?"
Noticing the tone of Jason's voice, he knows that Jason is worry about him. "My friends. You don't have to worry. Leave me alone, call me when it is time for hunting."
With that Jason is kick out from the room. He still wants to ask more but Mikayla directly asks him to get out. Mikayla closes the door and lock it.
"Investigate anyone that approaches young master." A shadow directly retreats and Jason goes to the kitchen to prepare some snack like usual.
Mikayla sits back on the couch and after a while, he already in front of the doors. This time the three little Wings are here to greet him.
"Welcome back master!"
"I'm back, it seems that I can't stay long here. I'm unable to give the names to you last night."
"Master, your time here is directly linked to the amount of magical power you have. The higher your magical power, the longer you can stay here." said the red Wing.
"Mmmm. Well, it seems that my guess is correct. I want to visit the other door that I didn't visit last night."
"The land that you didn't visit are Land of Flower, Land of Fairytale and Land of Song and Story." said the golden Wing.
"The Land of Flower and Land of Song and Story can be visited but not Land of Fairytale." said the silver Wing.
"Why is that?" asked Mikayla.
"You didn't have enough magical power to open the door." said the silver Wing.
"Yes master, I will explain about the Land of Fairytale later. Let's proceed to visits the other door." said the red Wing.
Mikayla opens the door that leads to the Land of Flower. It is a beautiful sight. Colourful flowers are a feast to his eyes. The smell of the flower is relaxing and he could just sit there and stare at the flowers just like he used to do it with the Old Fredric.
He knows that he can't stay long here and proceed to visit the Land of Song and Story. After entering the Land of Song and Story, he stays rooted in front of the door. The land is full of posters and musical instrument flying around and they are alive. Music notes floating around the musical instrument.
Mikayla pinches his cheek unable to believe what he saw. All the room he has visited may be extraordinary but this is bizarre. Mikayla spread his wings and explore the land. The musical instruments ignore him and do their own thing. All the sound is harmonizing and pleasing to the ear.
"What is that?"
"That is the music chart," said the golden Wing.
There is a big board floating in the air and inside it written,
1. Stay or Decay
2. Frozen
3. Check Yes Juliet
4. Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi
5. Rinne Rondo
"It is the song that has been turned into spell by you." said the red Wing.
"I'm the one that turns it into spell? I thought they just appear automatically."
"No, at this moment the land that you fully has control is only this land and the Forbidden land. All the other land are limited by your magic power. So, you able to use this land speciality outside this land."
"How did I turn a song into a spell? It is based on my memory?"
"It is base on the functionality of the song and the one you like to hears." said the red Wing.
"When I think about it, I really like to hear those songs before. I always hit the replay button." Mikayla smile when he remembers his life before this.
After that Mikayla directly goes to the Forbidden Land. He wants to know what happens to the people that he caught. He enters the prison and the little Wings bring him to see his slave. He enters a huge hall where there are people standing in line with their eyes closed.
"There is one hundred undead slaves. They are the slave that died before entering the door or after arriving here. They will be revived as an undead slave and you will have complete control of them if their magical power did not exceed two grades than you." said the silver Wing.
Mikayla scans the undead slave and from his observation, they are as good as when they are alive. There are no cuts or injuries on their body. He tries to cut them but they directly heal. As expected of undying slave. Mikayla is satisfied with the slaves.
"Besides that, there are two people that still alive after coming here and still resisting to the curse of this place." said the silver Wing.
"Who are they?" Bring me to see them."
The silver Wing bring Mikayla to two smaller cells inside the first cell it is the same hunter that fight with him before and on the second cell is the leader. They appearance are haggard and they look tired. Seeing Mikayla the hunter runs and slam the door.
"It is you! MONSTER!!!!!! Let me OUT! I will shred you into pieces." Mikayla is annoyed with the hunter behaviour. The temperature drop and Mikayla's eyes turn darker. The hunter grabs his neck. He feels like he is being strangled.
"Know your place!" said Mikayla. He glances at the leader cell but the leader stays compose, unlike the hunter. He is conserving his energy to resist the corrosive curse that trying to decay his body.
Mikayla leaves the leader and the hunter and sits in the room.
"I can't control the leader and the hunter, why is that?"
"It is because they are alive. You need to brand them first before you are able to control them." said the silver wing.
"You need to be stronger than them." added the red Wing.
"Based on my power right now, I unable to brand them. Is there any other method?"
"You can just wait and let the curse slowly penetrate into them and brand them." said the silver Wing.
"How long will it takes?" asked Mikayla.
"It depends on their magic power and also their will. Probably in a few hundred years." said the golden Wing.
"You got to be joking," said Mikayla.
"No, master we are not joking. Both of them are Grade S magician with only your middle-Grade D level of magic power it will take hundreds of years before you are able to subdue them. " said the golden Wing.
"Remember master this place runs with your magical power." said the red Wing.
Hearing this Mikayla feels dejected. He has so many nice things but unable to use it. He needs to increase his magical power. Sensing that his time in this place is almost up he stands up and gives a letter to each of the little Wings before disappear from their sight.
The little Wings open their letter, the red envelope has a word, Amory. In the silver envelope, the word Andrew can be read. Finally, in the golden envelope, it is written a name, Asher. The three of them elated. They finally have a name.
