“I know it sounds farfetched, but your future self would have told you about the power of the dragon that he has that grants him his huge mana pool, that was from me,” Apollo said in a much gentler tone because he noticed how frightened I was.
“Kid, you know about the blood crow, you have suffered from them first hand, right”. Voltron said and that was the first time he spoke to me.
I nodded as I remembered the near-death experience I had when I escaped the blood mage at the top of the mountain.
“if the future you haven’t captured one of the high-ranking members of the blood crow and gotten the information on time, about their plans to send some of their members to come to kill and start their plans to resurrect the demon god. The future would have been destroyed,” he said in a solemn tone.
“You were supposed to get only the power of Apollo, but based on what has happened w can sit back anymore, so we have decided to give you ours as well,” Indra said.
I was surprised to know that in the future, would have the powers of Apollo the fire dragon god, but now I am getting both lightening and void dragon god's powers as well.
“Pretty neat right,” Apollo said with a toothy grin and it was quite amusing to see a dragon act that way.
“What if my body can’t contain the powers of you three dragons,” I asked them after some thought. I do not want to blow up from too much mana
“Don’t worry we have already made plans for that” Apollo said “your body is already in a good state to handle a good some of our powers at your level since you have been trained” he continued.
“You will be only be getting the powers of lightning and fire, void magic we join in when you get to the fourth circle and you have gotten a good understanding of the spatial laws from him,” Indra said.
I nodded my head. Their idea seems quite right and better than what I thought they would do, that is infusing everything at once into my body.
“Be ready boy, you are about to receive the battle experience and knowledge of over a thousand years accompany by our magic” Apollo said, as he smiled with the same toothy grin showing more of his razor-sharp teeth which scared me a little.
Three different magic circles appeared and started spinning around me at an increasing pace until everything turned into a blur around me.
A huge wave of magic hits me, as I started receiving lots of information and magic spells. Lots of mastery of different weapons invaded my mind at once.
When it ended, everything became clear; I was having a massive headache from all the sudden influx of information that entered my brain. It took up to twenty minutes before it subsided.
I looked up to meet Indra’s golden pupils, I remembered the battle the dragons had with the demon god which caused the life of many dragons and felt the pain they felt after the demon god was killed.
She seems to sense my thoughts. She lowered her head to my level and smiled
“I know what you are thinking peter, if you don’t want that to happen again, you better get strong to protect those dearest to you,” she said as she looked into my eyes.
“Take this pill, it will help your body to grow stronger and also give you the abilities of the dragon race,” Apollo said as a glowing red pill floated towards me.
“This pill will change your physical appearance and body structure to help you adapt to the magical and physical powers you have received,” Voltron said.
“This all for now my dear boy, we will be watching. So protect those that you love and defend this realm from the blood crows”. Indra said as the dragons began to fade away
I bowed to them to show my respect until their figures disappeared totally. “it Is time to get serious, I will protect those I hold dear”. I promised myself as I felt my consciousness fading.
Sarah’s, P.O.V.
A blinding light enveloped Peter for five minutes. This has never happened before since the history of awakening of talents, then the light receded back into the orb that have turned from black to white.
Then both pillars lit up. In the knight pillar, the weapons started glowing, showing that he could master the weapons in the pillars.
At the magic pillar, the fire and lightning affinity glowed brightly showing that he has a high affinity for both elements.
My mother stood up in shock when she saw this. Miss Helen walked to the pavilion in slow steps with her eyes pinned on Peter.
After some time, the pillars stop glowing and Peter opened his eyes. He was still looking dazed and I have no idea what happened to him. He was still looking somehow confused at the strange looks everyone was giving him.
“Boy, you gave me quite a shock there, who knew you will be both knight and mage” Alex broke the awkward silence and patted peter on his back with a big smile on his face.
I walked toward him gripping his hands, I could feel something different happen to him that he was hiding.
“You seem different peter, you finally got your wish,” I said to him with a smile and dragged him to my mother and Miss Helen was waiting.
Miss Helen was just looking at him as if scrutinizing him or something. My mother was also doing the same.
“Peter, how many magic circles do you have, because the kind of magic mana I am feeling from you is so strong,” she said when we got closer to them. My mother nodded too.
“Still in my first circle, maybe it’s because I have a huge mana pool,” he said but we were not buying that stupid excuse. Peter changed but we do not what happened to him.
“I wish my father was here to see what happened, he will be so shocked,” I said as I swing his hands and he smiled. You have to know, peter has a very good smile.
“Ok, let’s go home, Alex prepared the carriage,” my mother said as we made our way to exit under the gaze of the people in the pavilion.
I kept looking at Peter as we made our back to the palace and gave me a sheepish grin I punched him, ‘yep, it’s the same annoying Peter’. I thought and smiled.
When we got to the palace, Queen Elizabeth led Sarah and me to the king's private study. When we arrived at the door of the study, she knocked twice before we got permission to enter. The study was huge. It had shelves that were as high as fifteen feet, stacked with books of different colours. Some of the books were about magic, which is surprising because the king was a broadsword user. We saw the king sitting behind a desk filled with files and ledgers. Behind him were a blue lion shield and a great sword behind it. Sarah hurried to him and told him what happened at the awakening ceremony, while the queen sat on the couch at the centre of the room and made a cup of tea for herself I could see the surprise and astonishment from the king as he looked at me with a strange glint in his eyes. “Peter my boy, you sure a full of surprises, this old man knew you would be a knight but to imagine that you got magic too, your p
That night, I decided to take the red dragon pill. When I swallowed the pill, I could feel a fiery sensation coming from my chest as the pill started to dissolve. Then it spread from my chest at its starting point to every part of my body. It was as if my body was set on fire, as I could feel the temperature raising and sweating all over my body. The next moment my joint started snapping, which caused me great pain. I thought I could bear it but the pain increased and my body felt as if it was burning up, to the point I let a scream and pass out on the bed. When I woke the next morning, my bed was damp and dirty. I got up and looked at my body to check if there were any changes due to the pains of my bones snapping and the feeling of my body set on fire. My body looked ok after my observation, just that my sight was a bit hazy. I went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on my body, after I was through with that, I walked out and passed the front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in
After breakfast, Sarah and I took a walk to the back garden of the palace. The back garden was very beautiful, with different types of exotic and nearly extinct plants there. In the garden, you can see different colours and species of birds flying around. This place was a safe haven for these birds because they had been hunted outside of this place. We walked on the marble walkway and by the side of the walkway; you can see heroes, generals and kings as you walk down the pavement. We got to the centre of the garden and there was a statue of the first king of Gales kingdom. The stature was at least 10 meters tall and it was so life like that you could feel pressured just looking at it. On the four corners of the stature, stone slaps with the biography of the king written on them. His name was Vincent Yates, the first divine sword saint of the kingdom. After we passed the stature, we came to a pavilion and sa
When we entered the vault, it was as huge as the hall in the palace, filled with different types of weapons and armour. "I brought you both here to select your weapons and staffs respectfully, the equipment here is all gold grade and real treasures of the kingdom," King Mark said as we walked around. "Sarah, this staff will fit you because of your natural control of nature. It has a great boost to all wind and nature spells, be it defence and attack" Queen Elizabeth said and gave Sarah a green staff with a grey gem at the top. The staff looks like it was made of roots intertwined together from the bottom to top, only separating at the top so the grey gem can be there placed. When Sarah held the staff, she channelled a little bit of mana into it. As if alive, the staff became greener and the grey gem turned blue. The staff was a high grade because I could feel the mana circulating at the top. "Thanks, mom, the staff is nice, It will
Peter got to his room and headed straight for the bathroom, done with that, he started learning how to cast a lightning spell ‘lightning bolt’. It took him a couple of hours to cast it. Lightening spells are quite destructive like flame spells, but they had an extra advantage because they help increase the users' mobility, but to do that you have to get he has to reach my third circle, but that’s for normal people. He practised the spell for a few more hours until he heard a knock on his door, the person opened it and Sarah poked her head through the gap and saw him casting fireball and lightning bolt at the same time with amazing speed. “Wow, you can now cast both spells simultaneously,” she said stepping into the room. She sat on the bed and watched him continue practising. “Any improvement on the control of your nature affinity,” peter asked her. He stopped practising and grabbed a towel to clean the sweat from his body. “I can feel nature now better than before, maybe it’s bec
For the next two days, Peter continued his training and was improving his coordination, between his swordsmanship and my spell casting.One evening he was training in the training ground in the palace, casting spells at the same using different sword skills that will increase his combat ability. King Mark was standing on the balcony of the third floor of the palace watching him train with a smile on his face.Peter decided to test the king's domain ability to see how powerful it was. He cast the spell and reduce gravity on his body and jumped 5 meters into the air, then increased it as landed with a downward slash."Wow, this is amazing," he said truly amazed by the power to control gravity. He activated it again, increasing the gravity on my sword, I felt that the wooden sword could not take it; cracks began to appear on it, so he threw it away and turned my bracelet into a black sword.When Peter tried it again, the weight increased and the mana within the sword responded to his cre
After a good night's sleep, early in the morning, Peter was up for my morning exercise as usual before heading to the bathroom. When he got out, Peter arranged his clothes and placed them in my storage ring. Peter wore a black shirt and blue pants, with his hair tied up in a man bun. He walked to the living room, where he will be meeting the royal family for breakfast. Peter looked around the palace as he made his way there, admiring its beauty and majesty designs. He was so going to miss this place and he has gotten close to most of the staff here because we are all commoners. "Good morning Peter, you going to the academy today, make us proud," said the butler in charge of all the affairs of the palace. He was a middle age man, with grey hair and a goatee. He has been working in the palace for close to thirty years and is trusted by the king. "Don't worry, I will sure make those nobles know the power of us commoners," Peter said with a nod. They
After arranging my stuff in the room, I looked around the academy. On the knight tower, each floor was divided by the level of the knight. The first floor was for the beginners, the second floor was for the sword, spear or other knights, the third floor was for the aura sword knight, and the fourth floor was for the general level knight. Their rooms were bigger and it comes with a personal training area.The academy gives two years of training to get the sword knight level and then heads out for a year to train as adventurers. However, a minority of people make it to sword aura knight class before the two years deadline and some don’t make it to sword knight after the deadline and are expelled from the academy.I continued to read the instruction manual of the knight tower as I made my way to the mage tower to look for Sarah. By the speed I am going I might not need a year to advance to sword knight, so I have to reduce my speed as well and master the level I am at.I got close to the
