4 Strange Abilities.

Paz : (watching Vlad leave) "Would you mind telling me what he meant by feeling."

Leona : (sighing) "That's the reason I especially called for you teacher."

Paz : "So, not the first time it happened I assume."

Leona : (nodding) "It started happening right after he was able to walk. At first we thought he inherited his father's acute senses, after a few more incidents, we believed his senses were even more stronger than his father's but Ivan's senses are already so inhumane, so we thought he could see the future but that's not it either, not only that, he was also able to sneak up on the head maid and she is a rank 6 practitioner, also,"

Paz : (lifting up an eyebrow) "Also....."

Leona : "He was able to avoid the unintentional attack of few of the maids when he snuck up on them."

Paz : "Interesting, even if he had the ability to see the future, he should not be able to avoid the attacks as his body is not trained at all, right?"

Leona : "Yes..."

Paz : (thinking for a while) "Ivan should know that transcendents can train thier minds or soul to create a domain around them in which they percieve everything slower than it happens in real life."

Leona : (shocked) "You are saying that Vlad has a domain."

Paz : "Only a possibility, there are instances of practitioners forming a domain before transcending. But all of them happened to rank 9 practitioners who were in a situation that they would die if they did not create a domain. Hmm, does any one else besides you and your people know this?"

Leona : "No."

Paz : "Why not send him to me?"

Leona : "After he comes of age."

Suddenly a childish scream is heard in the hall. : " AGHHHH!!! "

Viktor : " VLAD!!! "

Leona turns back and sees Vlad in Viktor's arms, clutching his head and screaming in pain.

Leona & Ivan : (running toward Vlad & Viktor) "VLAD!"

Paz was following right behind Leona and upon seeing Vlad, he suddenly felt like he was in front of a stronger entity using it's domain. He didn't tell Leona but the most basic function of the domain is to suppress your enemies.

Paz : " !!!??? "

He started looking everywhere trying to find the person. He noticed that everyone else besides the Tigris family and those close to them felt the suppression. He thought that it must be a senior from previous generation who was tasked with the protection of the Tigris family. It was very common after all. Though he did not hear anything about this from Leona or Ivan. After a few seconds, he felt the suppression lift and he approached Vlad, while thinking : 'Senior should be in the origin realm.'

------------------------------------------

The party was soon dismissed and Vlad was taken into the inner part of the castle where he did not regain conscious for three days.

Rumors started to spread that the reason the second prince was so different from the king and the queen, was because he was born sick and had a weak body. Ivan and Leona were too worried about Vlad to care about the rumors.

After three days when Vlad regained consciousness, he slowly became very quiet. He stopped his strange behavior and only paid attention to his family. According to what the castle workers heard, the prince started to have strange and vivid dreams. Only the king and queen knew the details.

After a year or so, Vlad completely quieted down. After the dreams started, he began asking different and unique questions. questions like what is immortality, life, death, loneliness. Another rumor started to spread saying that the second prince had gotten a strange disease that caused him to remain muddle headed. He started reading more and more books, training different techniques and if he failed he started muttering stuff like : 'That is not how it's supposed to happen.' or 'I was able to do it in the dream.'

Leona was very worried about Vlad and started to call different doctors and specialists to see what was wrong with him. Ivan on the other hand just kept an eye on him hoping he would soon get well and return to his former self. That did not happen as even after two years he did not stop his antics. On the flip side, Viktor started showing even more talent. In these three years, he was able to defeat his own master while stick fighting when only using techniques and he also broke through rank 5 on his 13th birthday, surprising not only his father and mother but also the whole kingdom. Viktor was still very close to Vlad as only he knew that that his little brother was already rank 4 at only 6 years old. Even his own breakthrough was due to the different medicines that his own little brother made.
