Input ether into my student's core...

[since the early chapters, this story has always been short. Will improve on at least writing 1500 words per chapter updates, starting from the next chapter. Thanks for being patient with me].

Ray left the throne room with a beaming smile. For some reason, he wanted to celebrate the decision of executing the council.

" Adam" he called out silently. At first nothing happened making it seem that the king is talking to himself.

"Ray..." A person whose features could not be seen came out from the shadows. He had purple skin and an elongated ear like that of the elf, but the difference being something like a feather sticking to it.

" You still refuse to change that form" The man was Adam, Ray's best friend and the leader of the shadow knight.

Adam was among the very few people that believe's the pure blood should always be in their transformed state.

" This form allows me to use my power to the fullest" Adam defended himself "...besides...i know you didn't call me here for chit-chats" Adam prefer going straight to the point, Ray wasting his time by going around the bush of why he was called, it made him feel restless.

Ray seemed to notice Adam being in a hurry. He was perfect when it comes to reading emotions, he would not had been a great king if he didn't.

" I need your help on something...i believe you alone of all the people in Orton could achieve that." Ray did not beat around the bush, after Adam urging him to speak up. He wanted to treat his friend to a nice time but it seemed his friend never changed.

" and why should I agree to that?" Adam raised an eyebrow. He alone could talk to the king the way he did.

" Please. Just this once " Ray pleaded. He was desperate for Adam's help.

Adam sighed at his friend's request and pleading. He really didn't want to waste much time in the blood filled castle.

"what is it this time?" Adam asked after seeing how serious and desperate his friend needed help.

Ray had a wide smile plastered on his face. "Help me input ether to my student core" Ray voiced his request.

"what the hell?!!! " Adam yelled when he heard Rays request. Why Ray was practically asking for is breaking the taboo, and it comes with a huge risk.

" hey, be quiet" Ray used his palm to cover Adam's mouth in other to stop him from his loud screaming.

"I know it sounds unreasonable but please help" Ray pleaded.

" no, I can't " Adam strongly refuted.

" why, aren't you a mage" Ray asked. He wondered why his friend couldn't help. "perhaps, are you too weak to accomplish that? " Ray asked curiously but you could hear the mocking tone in his voice.

Adam shook his head in denial of Ray's claim. Usually, he would get angry at Ray taunting him but not on this serious conversation.

" I can certainly accomplish what you ask of me " Adam said.

"then why did you say 'no' " Ray asked puzzled.

" we all know your student is of the fey race. Helping her add ether to her core would automatically help her create her unique energy and make her an half pure blood in the process. But... " here comes the but that Ray usually hate to hear.

"but? " Ray asked urging Adam to continue.

" that would prompt the council anger and in worst case scenari, I would be sent to inferno and so will you". Adam stated his concern.

Ray wanted to laugh at his friends cowardice but decided not to. He didnt want to end up offending the only person that could help his student.

" do not worry about them. The council has been taken care of" he said with a strange flint in his eyes.

Adam could smell something wrong, it was an unpleasant smell, one that smell scheme. " don't tell me... " Adam was afraid of completing his speech. What if he turned out wrong and said something that could potentially end his life.

"yeah..." Ray smiled spookily confirming Adam's thought " I dispose of them in accordance with the punishment of treason" he justified his act before his friend could wake up from his shock.
