Chapter 21 Chapter: 021 A Journeys Beginning (1/2)
Three days later at the town's entrance.
Several carriages were standing in line, waiting as inside the Branches castle a boy was running without stop while searching for everything he needed before he go.
”Son! where are you? the caravan already arrived and is waiting for you. How could you not have packed your clothes yet?
”Sorry mom, I had trained late and forgot to pack my things.”
Elijah used his [Void Steps] that he could finally control to pack his clothes as fast as he could.
”I have packed my things now. Goodbye Mom.”
Catherine nodded as she hugged her son while trying to hide the tears falling from her eyes.
”Go to the town's entrance,your father is waiting for you there.”
...
Walking on the streets Elijah met several friends with who he had played in the past and the people in the town who knew him.
Reaching the entrance he saw his father talking with a middle aged man. He had a common appearance, tall, but with a common constitution. His eyes were cold, and his gaze was as heavy as a hammer.
Seeing his son, Henry turned to him and said.
”So you finally arrived, son, this is the man who will take you to the Academy.”
He lifted his left hand with three fingers stretched out to his right shoulder, making the common greeting between divine cultivators.
”Nice to meet you, young master, I'm Mark, chosen by Chystar.”
Elijah returned the greeting.
”I'm Elijah, chosen by Shadow.”
Mark seemed satisfied with Elijah as he said.
”Good, we're leaving in five minutes, your sister is already in the carriage, you can wait with her if you want. Her carriage is the one in the middle with the symbol of your family.”
Herry took a old book from his bossom and give it to Elijah.
”Son, this is a First Level Elementary Spellbook I picked up in the library, it might be useful on your journey and maybe I helped you reach the First Kingdom. The Town Lord's Daughter and the Miller's Twin Sisters had also departed, maybe you will met them on your journey. The path to Valhala is full of dangers and threats. Be strong my son.”
