Hello there!

"Let us talk about your Blessing."

Ningal said looking at him curiously. Sheyken kept his cool. He did not expect her to ask him that, but he still did not know how people of Uros would know those with Blessings to those who do not have one. Arloch and Zararloch had also asked about his Blessing when they first met in a manner that seemed they had already known he had one by just looking at him.

"How do you know I have one."

He decided to not dispute that he had one, but to ask a question that would make him find out how they knew he had one.

"Sheyken, did your father teach you anything? These are basics that anyone knows?"

Ningal was getting frustrated with how she thought Sheyken's father was raising his son. If he was in front of her, she would be giving him a mouthful. Sheyken put his hand at the back of his head in embarrassment but secretly hoped Apophis was listing to their conversation.

"haha.... He was a man of few words. He focused on training me so I can become stronger than anyone my age. I think that is why I do not know much, together with the fact that I had hit my head when we separated making me not remember much. I still remember that the last time I saw him, he kept on telling me to get stronger and some people would be after me. When I asked him to tell me why, he said he would tell me when I got stronger."

'Damn, I am getting better and better in lying.'

"I am sorry Sheyken. You got separated from your father at a young age, but I have to ask, is he an idiot? I mean, how are you supposed to remain focused on getting stronger if that is what he wanted from you without telling you why someone would want to kill you. How is he expecting you to resolve the conflict?... Men are just....!"

Ningal said with her hand over her face while sighing. Sheyken was secretly having a devilish laugh hoping Apophis heard all of what Ningal had to say about the subject.

"About you Blessing. All-Mother, before she ascended or before she was well known found a way to use any Blessing to access storage space. So, since then every storage space can be accessed by either a Blessing, Mana, or life energy. You said you have a storage device that you used to store the Umbrulpes. You are still youn, you can not use mana and you can not use life energy since you are not a Witch, meaning you could only access the storage device your father gave you by using a Blessing. How did you think you could access your device?"

"I just did what my father said I should do."

"Damn it..... I swear, if your father is alive I will need to have a long conversation with him."

Sheyken could not help but smile.

'Right now this almost feels like I am in class. All the things she told me, even though she thinks it is basic information, it is like food for my brain right now. I can not believe I miss school.'

Sheyken thought.

"I will give you a bag that you can store the corpses of the beasts you can kill. It is what our children used since many of them did not have Blessings or storage devices. It will slow down the process of decomposition. Sometimes depending on the situation, it is better to hide that you have a Blessing, but people with Blessings are treated better than others. So, it is better to get respect from the get-go rather than showing your true colors after someone disrespects you. If you hide your strength, you will be dealing with idiots that will try and challenge you your whole life. It's something you must think about, ok?"

"Yes, I will."

Sheyken was liking this lady more and more.

"Now, since I will be helping you process the beast corpses and selling them for you, what do you think about me getting one silver coin for each kilogram I sell. You can Keep the beast material so you can sell it later on when you reach a city . It is often more valuable than the meat. We do not have that much use for it here since we secluded from the rest of the world. If someone wants it, we can sell it to them. What do you think?"

'Can you marry me?'

Sheyken thought. You could almost see heart-like shapes in his eyes.

'She is just an angel. Even though she thinks I am young, she still has the decency to ask for my opinion, not forgetting the way she speaks..... AHHHH Apophis.... Turn me back to when I was nineteen right now. Tenebris.... you should take notes.'

"Everything is ok with me."

He finally answered.

"Ok, I have one condition though."

'Ahhh man.... not when I just pictured you as my one and only.'

"What is it."

"For you to stay outside of town. I have some camping gear you can use."

She said while heading to the upper floor not giving a chance for Sheyken to reply. Sheyken just looked at her going up the stairs while counting every flaw that Tenebris has. Ningal came back down with a dark brown bag and a square box that she put on the table next to Sheyken.

"When you ready to camp just press the middle and it will unfold itself into a tent with everything you need inside. You do not need mana or anything. When you want to fold it again just touch the rune you will see on the entrance of the tent. If there is no living thing inside, It will fold itself. Do you have one of these?"

Sheyken was just amazed by the first magic tool he had seen on Uros such that he almost missed the question.

"No, my father was carrying the camping suppliers."

'This is the problem of lying. You have to keep on lying in order to support your lies.'

He was getting tired of lying to such a decent soul.

"Then take it. You should come by the same time tomorrow and I will tell you what I know about the beasts around here. Hunting something you do not know about would be a sure way to die."

She said walking to the door. Sheyken followed her. His heart was saddened. He could stay at her place and just look at her all day. She stopped before she reached the door.

"I almost forgot. Always skip a week before you eat another beast to allow your body to digest it properly, especially after eating something so rare. You should at most if you can't hold yourself back not eat any more than two sittings per week. If you eat more than that you run the risk of being addicted."

She said now holding the door with one hand. When Sheyken nodded she opened the door for him.

"Can't wait....cough, cough! see you tomorrow."

Sheyken said, now looking at the ground while leaving, embarrassed by the first words he said. Ningal smiled and said goodbye.

Outside, the sun was almost about to set. When he was eating and talking to Ningal he did not realize that so much time had passed. He quickly went past the market with the old lady waving her hand at him as he passed through again. Leaving the village, he headed for his sport over the hill to the tree he now liked to sit under. On his back was the bag she gave him and on his hand was the square box. He looked at it then went next to the tree, put it on the ground, and then pressed the button that was on the middle of one of its sides.

Like a flower blooming, the box split open making an average size tent come out from it. The process took less than five seconds. Sheyken went inside and found something that looked like a sponge on one corner with a blanket placed on top neatly. On the other corner, there was a washing basin which made him smile. When he looked at the other corner, he could not believe what he saw. Standing upright, as tall as an average man and as shiny as ever was a mirror.

Forgetting even the delicious meal he had earlier together with the beauty he was just with, he took his clothes off and dashed in front of it. No man was happier to see a mirror than him at that moment.

Standing in front of the mirror he was now smiling from ear to ear.

"HELLO THERE!"

He said out loud not able to hold in his excitement.

His evil diabolical plan was coming along excellently, for what he saw were four little humps on his stomach with another two wanting to show all their glory to the world but still growing.

"hahaha..... Zararloch.... a student can follow his masters' footsteps."

He laughed while running his hand up and down his abs like he was playing the guitar.

He filled water in the basin using his storage device and took a long bath. After drying off, he went back to the mirror and looked at himself again.

"It is time to see what all Those Undead were so scared off. A birthmark can't be that scary."

He said while turning around.

"Ahhhhh!!!!."

He screamed out loud. His heart had skipped a beat.

"How the hell is this thing not alive?"

He said, afraid to touch his back or even look at it again. He was sure he saw its eyes moving.
