Chapter 13 (Part Two)
Magic
Within a month of Anonym returning back to the Rain Clan, Switch was able to infuse his staff with something that actually works for him. He knew it couldn’t be entirely something from the planet of Roneglaise, because he couldn’t cultivate, but it was from his planet as well. He infused it with Power, but magical Power. He never thought that it would be possible for him to gain more power, but he did! His staff now holds nearly twice the amount of power now and glowed a brilliant, majestic gold colour that enhances his look of a divine being even more so.
Anonym, when not looking after Alex, would disappear for half the day, coming back with blood on her clothes.
Switch asked her about it, not liking to see blood on her, but her answer was always, “Hitting the old man.”
After a day, he came to think of where he had found her after three years. Unable to stop her, he let her go, knowing there was still quite a few things he didn’t know about her.
She had also made him give her quite a few higher valued magical stones to cultivate Power more.
After this month…Anonym got set to collect things for Alex, for his future in cultivation, hoping that they would be able to do it elsewhere as well. It was something that she didn’t know, because she had never tried to cultivate on any other planet, besides the two she had always been on, in all her memories…
Telling Switch that they should be able to leave soon, she asked him if he had thought about teleporting the way she had asked.
Switch had thought little about it, he guessed that he’ll just go to teleport to another aura like theirs. Wouldn’t that be all that needs to be done?
In fact, he had come to that realization when Anonym had told him to use her as a 'puppet'. If he had thought of it earlier, he would have been able to find her quicker, when she had been taken by people from Parched Badlands. But since he had figured that out, he had tried it one day and had found Anonym's aura easily. Knowing it already works, he was certain he didn't have to worry further about it.
Since Anonym knew of many talents, she could fill Alex in on the rare ones, but she did want him to work things out on his own. She wasn’t going to do everything for the little man and have him grow up unaccomplished!
Alex wasn't like her though, able to use every single talent and nearly every art. He was still quite special though, for the people of Roneglaise, as he could learn that of three talents, just like Mark. Throughout her spare time, while Alex was awake, she had already started to teach him Psychology and more importantly, the art of Mind Block. As she did this, she remembered a few things that she had gone through previously. A certain father figure would appear inside her head, drumming this art into her. This previous her, like Alex, had been unlike Mark who was born with the art, she had to learn it...As fast as possible!
Doing the same thing to her son now, made her feel like reminiscing and she would s.p.a.ce out a few times. This father figure, was indeed a very big role in 'Great Master Belwin's' lifetime...Having protected her, till death, he left behind a very young man that took his teachings to heart. Especially about not bullying someone without a reason...Having been taught basic, simple strategies from this father figure, this 'Great Master Belwin' came up with an excellent solution to bully whoever he wanted...
Laughing to her memories, Anonym tried to focus again on Alex.
Yet, it is still quite unknown that the things she is teaching Alex is getting through to him at all. As it was, Anonym herself could still Mind Control her own child...So, he had yet to still master the art.
But, what shocked her into silence, was that Switch could see Alex carrying locked magic within him.
This confused Anonym and she asked him that if he’s got magic, then what about cultivation!? It was still quite clear to her that Alex could learn three talents...
They were both uncertain if he will do cultivation now that they knew about the magic, so Switch thought it would be a good idea to visit Switch’s planet before going off to find others like themselves…
Anonym unhappily agreed and continued to complete what she needed to do here on Roneglaise.
Then, after a couple of hours of thinking about going to Switch’s planet, she changed her mind. She was interested on this magical planet of Bracabra and, also, wanted to find out if it was possible for her to continue her cultivation there as well.
After another two weeks, she was ready. Even with the uncertainty of being able to cultivate on his planet or not, she finished getting what she needed, just so they could leave faster.
Switch sighed and said that they should say their goodbye’s or perhaps have a farewell gathering instead.
Anonym had greatly smiled at the idea! She demanded that to happen and left it all up to Switch to organize.
Another day pa.s.sed, and Switch had done exactly that!
He made a strange building that seemed quite ma.s.sive and had a huge amount of s.p.a.ce inside. She had asked what it was and what it was made of, but he had shrugged, “Something else. I don’t know.”
It was an oval shaped building, with many chairs around but in the middle seemed to be a nice gra.s.sy area that even had lines upon it. Switch hadn’t done any of the chairs on the outer area, as they had come along with the magic he had used when it materialized. But in the middle, he had placed many tables and chairs and a stage for music or dancing.
An interesting thing about it, was that they could look up to see the sky, that was now starting to go b.i.t.c.h black. If they had been anywhere else , it wouldn't be as dark, but of course, here close to the Rain Clan, the sky was full of clouds. Luckily the clouds were still high and not showing any kind of storm, so no one worried about the weather for the whole night.
Switch had wanted something big, because he had invited everybody of the Rain Clan, there were a few people that Presley picked up from other parts of Murkcloud continent that were also attending.
As people started to come, they all were very interested in this new building!
The gathering lasted all night. The Emperor was silently pleased upon learning that Anonym and Switch were going to travel and may not return.
Since his last…Meeting, with Anonym, he had finally taken an Empress, who seemed very appropriate for her status. Not only that, but he had ‘proved’ his youth by conceiving another child with his concubine, who was also attending the gathering. The Emperor gave Switch and Anonym a small gift each, even having one for Alex.
Mark had been upset upon learning of them leaving and wanted them to return to the Rain Clan at least once. The Princess, with her husband, had also came saying the same thing, that Anonym and Switch should return at least once.
Also, the Emperor quite liked this large area and had asked Switch if it could remain here, even though it was initially outside of the Rain Clan.
Switch had agreed and asked what he would use it for. The Emperor said that there would be many things, they could use it for when visitors from other continents arrive, as well as a compet.i.tion area for people to show their might.
Anonym was interested in that idea and already wanted to fight!
She wanted to be the first person victorious in this battle arena!
The General didn’t like how they were leaving either! But instead of saying words, he demanded another fight with Anonym. Anonym was extremely happy and obliged him as they became the next entertainment through the night.
Having changed the way she dressed, she has had a few stares of late. Switch had often tried to get her into dresses again, but there was no going back now. Her attire was that of clothes like an a.s.sa.s.sin, her hair was also up and out of the way. Switch could only sigh as he looked at her going onto the stage.
Upon the stage, they had stared at each other for some time. Both the General and Anonym had a grin on their faces like they were already battling with their eyes.
“Has the General improved?” Anonym asked.
The General raised his thick brows, “This old man hasn’t much time to lay about and cultivate like you do!”
Anonym, who had gotten her sword from Switch earlier, took the scabbard of the sword and throw it to the side.
Seeing the sword glow a very bright black colour, the General was very surprised, he knew how hard it was to infuse an item with Dexterity! “Very well.”
Bring out his own sword, that glowed in a dim red colour, signifying Strength, he threw his own sword’s scabbard to the side.
“Shall we begin?” Anonym asked, swiping her sword through the air.
The crowd were already ready for their fight to start, watching them first eye each other, they were even more eager now to see the action!
“Let’s begin, little girl.” The General said, getting into a battle stance.
Anonym charged towards the General and in mid stride, half way through, shapes.h.i.+fted.
Upon her shapes.h.i.+ft, the General looked at her with stunned eyes and lowered his sword.
Taking that chance, Anonym kicked the sword out of his hand and stepped behind him, holding her brilliant, black glowing sword against his neck. “What’s the matter, General? Lost ya nerve?”
The General, was speechless for a moment, “That…That’s cheating!”
Anonym let him go and laughed heartily, “I didn’t cheat!”
Looking upon the person that Anonym turned into, the General looked away from her, “You knew that I wouldn’t attack my own grandfather!”
“Yes! I did! So, that makes me victorious!” Anonym said, putting her sword to her shoulders lazily.
The General looked back at the body, that looked like his hero, “I won’t fight with my grandfather!”
“Are you admitting defeat?” Anonym asked.
“Not admitting defeat against a cheater!” He grumbled.
Laughing, Anonym said, “General, isn’t it a simple fact in fighting, that you find your opponent’s weakness? I wasn’t cheating at all, I was…Using a simple, straight forward technique that everyone knows about!”
The General made no move, he was adamant, he wouldn’t fight against the body before him! “I will not fight with that body!”
