chapter 6 waking in valyria (4)

From where I stand I see the morning sun hit the bronze colored fifty stories tall tower, the tower was built right beside a calm stream adding to the beautiful scenery. Right on the side of the tower wall you could see the work of magic and engineering going on, an artificial water fall built into the tower by drawing water from the stream with magic, the water is moved to the very top of the tower from inside the building and out through the side thus giving the feeling of the tower producing water, it looked really stunning with the sun hitting the tower directly. especially for something done in medieval times like this.

"That gets me every time you know" I sigh

"Yeah, it get everyone really"replies selina"well let's get going then"

We move into the tower at the entrance hall you could see a small statue of mage aldin holding his staff and his dragon coiling around him, he named his dragon eldra and people gave it the nickname the gentle black because of it surprising gentle nature but don't let that fool you as if aldin gives the word it Would be the most vicious beast out there, well the dragon fits it's rider actually as Aldin's the same way, one minute his the all kind elderly man next he is spamming fire balls and screaming murder it would make bakugo look like a kid throwing tantrums, well bakugo is a kid though it's really surprising how he acts sometimes, that wise old man just disappears. Infact I'm sure that title was just the other families being sarcastic or something

"~Achu!~ Who's talking about this handsome old man, mhmm must be those dragon lord's again got to teach them a lesson again ~sigh~ they never learn"

"Well let's hurry we still have stairs to climb" Eliana say while picking up her pace while we all keep up.

"First order of business when the system activates build magic elevator"I whisper to myself.

Now it's not like I'm lazy or anything, it's just for the show of hmm... imagine you have guest wouldn't that make you look fancy or whatever yes that's the reason nothing more just that

The stairs run through the middle of the tower openly no walls to obstruct seeing who's coming up or going down or what goes no on the floors passed, so we can see disciples arranging shelves, practicing their routines and other such actives we stop at the tenth floor where we have our private lessons with Aldin opening the door to the room we see aldin sitting in the chair behind the desk. Aldin is an old man with white hair thick beard and closing eyes, but his purple eyes glow with strength and wisdom with a little bit of madness but not unstable madness like the future mad king more like strong desire to do something like...wait is he thinking of harassing another dragon lord...ah poor soul.

"Hmmm did you think something rude about me viston my boy" asks aldin with his eyes fixed on me

"No teacher I was just admiring the aura around you this morning"I reply quickly

I think my thoughts show too easily on my face or something I have to fix this if not I'll be buried by either my mom, fiancee or aldin and his dragon sigh

"Hmm ok so now let's continue from where we left of on your magic that goes for your sister and Eliana as well, as for branton we will continue on your geography and history"says aldin

"So branton take the desk over there and anwer the questions I set out for you let's refresh your memory from the last week" continues aldin"while the rest of us enter magic practicals properly"

"Yes teacher"reply's branton as he takes the desk and goes through the questions

"Now viston how is your body since this morning "

" I feel okay, well better than ok actually"

"Sure you do, you bonded with the tempest damn dragon. Lucky you"mumbles aldin

"Now your focus will be the magical aspect with me while your dad and uncle will cover the physical"aldin continues "now that you have bonded with it your magic core will be stronger, larger and faster than ever before. About 10times actually"

"You remember what we discussed about magic core right"asks aldin

"They are a means of connection, source and storage of mana"answers Selina

"Yes unlike the other valyrians, we from the blood of the first veldora that bonded with the first tempest dragon an opportunity given by the gods themselves, we inherited this gift of magic core within our bloodline enabling us to connect with the magic in the environment, have our own source like the tempests and gather and store them" says aldin "the other valyrians don't have this and resort to rituals to stir the magic in the environment to gain or manipulate mana to perform acts. They use blood magic as a medium to activate the process while we do so directly"

"So the core is like a...like a muscle the more you use it the better it is at doing the task so for now you three will be working on those core by expelling the mana and storing as much as possible for the next three days before we go into any spells or circles"Finishes aldin as he tells us how to expel the manna in our core and gather mana

It sounds really cliche but it makes sense and it works. You might be asking who aldin is as he said we are of the first veldora, well he is a veldora just that his line left our family somewhat and have no house name they head the magic branch, there are times in history brothers within the family do stuff like that but it's not for power or anything it's more the opposite it's to stabilize the ruling branch so as to not have too much rivalry and beside only the ruling branch can have the authority to hatch tempests so we have right to rule and only way they could get a turn is if our branch is gone and the tempest dragon hatch in Thiers which is impossible as I'm not dieing anytime soon

As for how Eliana has a magic core well a branch of my family once married thiers and it was promised that if anyone female or male is to have a magic core they would be married to ours and since then no one was birth with a core till Eliana.

"Once we are done for today I'll tell you how to use you bond with your dragons properly while your dad and uncle will teach how to battles along your dragons and not that head on clash those stupid white heads do. Imbeciles the whole lot of them."says aldin"he will teach you how to fight other dragons, beasts and men properly"

Well that's okay, at the very least I think it's better than the way they normally fight with their dragon, I find it quite lacking.

Sitting on the animal rug on the floor we begin the exercise.

I could feel something in my chest it felt warm there, so after sensing my core I go through the process of expelling my manner slowly.i then feel this warmth flowing through my veins, muscle, and skin then leaving my body

(*Ding* found that the user is exploring his core)

(*Ding* mystical kingdom system loading)...

(*Ding* shop loading)...

(*Ding* *ding* )

(*Ding*system interface loading)

(*Ding* territory interface..)

(*Ding* point configuration..)

"Well that how you do it"I said in my mind

"I guess needed to explore my magic to kick start it hmm it's still loading though"

"I heard territory I guess that should be after I claim the freehold or my dad hands me they family. But I don't need that type of attention right now"

"I guess I'll just leave that one out, just focus on strength and those around me"I continue "but I have to start to set things in place it's been half the years till the doom"

Putting my mind back on the task at hand I feel the magic in the air and try pulling it towards my core it moves even slower than expelling it

I open my eyes and I notice white mist in the air, I see how it moves from within my sister and Eliana but from what I'm seeing it's slower than mine

Well I guess I'm still a genius hehehe

Focus! Gather the manner we have a long way to get stronger it's still to slow six year could go at a flash I need to make the ultimate best of my time, for the grind one with the grind preparing for what it will take to announce my houses re-emergence after the fall.
