Due to the fact that the magical energy inside their body covered every cell to the nucleus, they had been growing at an outstanding rate. Their body grew the equivalent of two years in the first year, three years in the second and now it had grown the equivalent of two years in six months, they would reach fourteen at the end of the year.

"I have taught you everything I can about the nature element, you will have to keep training and figure the rest on your own, however, now you must use the necklace I gave you before in order to be able to adventure into the world on your own without getting caught."- Nya was very proud of her apprentices as they had all learnt at a very fast pace.

◇So what now?◇

๑Well, first we'll activate the necklace and let's see where it takes us.๑

~I agree, that is the most sensible thing to do~

۶Yup۶

They grabbed the rune necklace from their neck, it had the shape of a small diamond with two small lines coming out of the bottom of it. They poured magical power, otherwise known as mana, into the necklace, it then flashed a deep dark majestic wine colored light before information started flowing into all of their minds...

At the age of fourteen, all the casters from the kingdoms of Eraos travel to the royal capital of Cadir that is located in the Neutral Grounds. In the capital, the casters undergo a series of tests which change every year in order to determine which Academy they will be attending. Almost every caster attends an Academy but most common casters do not as the exams are usually very hard to pass with one element but not impossible.

There are a total of eight Academies as there does not exist a nature or toxic Academy. Academies are named after the Primordials and focus on their respective element, they also provide courses for other elements but depending on your predominant element you will be assigned an Academy.

During the Academy, you will have to choose a specialization. When you reach the academy they will tell you there but you should choose to become a sorcerer.

The eighth academies are:

The Thunderbird Academy

The Reaper Academy

The Phoenix Academy

The Siren Academy

The Yeti Academy

The Gargoyle Academy

The Griffon Academy

The Pegasus Academy

They are located in each of the seven kingdoms, with the pegasus being in the royal capital. Eah¡ch kingdom has their own ruler known as patriarchs or matriarchs. However, they all answer to the royal family that resides in the capital. The Neutral Grounds are where no one reins over except the royals, this middle land is where all of the representatives from every kingdom come to solve all political affairs.

The currency in this world is called petals, a thousand petals make a flower, and a hundred flowers make a bouquet. Most of the things in the capital cost either petals or flowers but in the noble districts there are expensive materials which cost more than one bouquet. In order to gain money there is a mercenaries guild in the capital.

◇Whoa, that was weird.◇

◯That did not help us to know what we need to do now◯

Nya's voice interrupted their mental discussion as she said.

"As I said before, the Primordials will help you in your path of knowledge as you will receive classes from each of us. I promised Garzar I would send you on his way next, so you need to attend the Reaper Academy in order to meet Garzar in the Undead Forest surrounding the academy. He will help you learn everything you need to know about shadow magic. I will leave now and let life take its course."

The white door from which Nya first emerged from opened again, this time, without anyone drawing a summoning pentagram. Then Nya stepped into the door and left Caleb's figure all by itself in the woods that had been their home… until now.

◇Are we going to do what I think we're going to do?◇

۶Plase tell me we're going to relax guys, at least one day۶

๑Sorry Ty, we have a lot of things to do๑

~We will head to the capital now, if we are going to go over there in less than a year, we at least need to have visited before~

๑The only problem is we do not have any petals๑

۶We should join the mercenaries guild۶

◇No sh*t Sherlock◇

◯Language◯

~You did not just say language~

◯Oh yes I did◯

๑Okay, enough bickering, how do we get to the capital?๑

~We can't ride Silverfang, it would be too suspicious~

۶Walking۶

◇We might have to walk indeed◇

๑Let's go then๑

They grabbed their bow and blade, they had made clothes of the Descendants they hunted so they now didn't look homeless. They closed up their tree house and started their journey towards the royal Capital on foot. They had never left the woods and were now curious as to how the cities in this world were.

They reached the side of the river they knew so much and for the first time, they didn't stop there. The river marked the boundary between the Kingdom of Matros and the Neutral Grounds. The Thornwoods were minor nobles from Matros so they lived on the Matros side of the Bardos woods.

They then walked for two days until they reached the side of the woods and stepped into the grasslands beyond where a road laid bare before them. They stood at the side of the road as they didn't know in which direction to walk two. They had promised to themselves to not solve everything with magic unless it was absolutely necessary so they didn't want to use magic to find their way around.

By reigning their magical power in, their powerful aura vanished and they saw lot's of Descendants on their way here as they were not afraid of them anymore. Ty kept a mental diary where he labelled and categorized every Descendant they encountered. Zoology was still one of his passions.

They waited for a couple of minutes crossed legged by the side of the road until a carriage came. It stopped before them and a big fat man opened the door.

"Are you lost little one? Are you heading towards the royal capital?"

Caleb and the rest put up their best impersonation of a ten years old.

"Y-yes yes sir, we lost our family and we do not know where to go"

As he heard this, a devilish smile appeared on the man's face.
