Chapter 47 - 21 Thomas strength (1/2)

Currently, Balthazar with Thomas and Dave is on his way to the Chinatown where the Grim hold might be found.

It has been agreed between Dave and Balthazar, that after getting the Grim hold, he will no longer involve Dave in any more adventures where the chances of his death will be higher than his chances of getting a date.

They are in Balthazar's car now driving towards the Chinatown, in New York City.

Balthazar sat in the front seat driving the car with Dave by his side and Thomas is seating at the back seat.

” You never told me, you were a wizard.” Dave asked after his adrenaline subsides. This adventure made him forget about the powers of his best friend and the secret which he hid from him.

After all this ended and his mind calmed down from its super hyper state, he was ready to grill his best friend for answers.

Thomas hasn't thought about hiding the fact he can use magic or say anything to lie about that.

Thomas knows that Balthazar too is listening to this reply, so he can confirm whether Thomas is a threat or not. If not for Dave abd his identity as Dave's best friend, he would have attacked him long ago.

Dave trusted Thomas more than he believed in Balthazar. This is his protection. And in the future this barrier may crumble so he has to erect a monument of trust and belief in Balthazar to make sure his task is successful.

He shrugs his shoulders and simply replied to his excited question, ” Oh that. I dont know how I do it. I got this ring” he Showed the platinum ring which is etched with griffin and thunderbird image on it.

” on the day their Will was read ” he kept a monotonous tone here to make sure they don't doubt him and make no attempt to interrupt.

At least for the dead parents in this world, Dave and Balthazar, the good guys won't interrupt his tale in between.

” This ring is one of them. Since my fifth birthday, it sent me message about the different magic tricks. I have been trying to copy those over the years.

It took me 15 years to reach this level.” At this moment, he shudders at the thought of his past efforts, ”You have no idea how tough it wass without any guide or teacher. If it wasn't the last gift of my parents, I would have given up learning magic ages ago.”

Not only Dave but the thousand years old student of Merlin, the sorcerer Balthazar too believed in his words.

As an experienced sorcerer, he has noticed some characteristics whoch distinguished him from other sorcerers.

” So where is this source of magic where you absorb all the knowledge.” Dave asked never seeing anything odd or magical in their room from which Thomas can learn magic.

”If I am not wrong, his source of magic knowledge isn't a book per see but a collection of knowledge which has been inlaid on that ring.”Balthazar states and answered Dave's question

Dave looks at Thomas for affirmation and he nods in reply.
