Chapter 9

Charles' late father was the leader of a clan, their major power was ice. Though they can control other things, Ice was the source of their power. He was also a Sorcerer, who was loved by all, especially his clan. He had a dream which was to become the most powerful Sorcerer like others also hoped but he wasn't rushing his process and was trying to gather enough power from different sources. Charles was only eleven years of age when there was a fire outbreak in his clan. He always tried to remember what happened that day but couldn't. All he was able to recall was that he was saved by the dark shadow lord when he was thrown into a forest. Since then he had been making a secret investigation recalling the eradication of his family and also trying to recall the inside. Under normal circumstances, if a fire breaks out in any place, water will be used to quench it. But the Inability of the ice clan to quench the power still amazes Charlie, wondering how on earth it is possible. He may not be in the quest for immortality power but he also wishes to get improved in his magic and to have rank in the magical world. The dark shadow lord trained him and taught him some other mystic power but he was being used by him, not having any idea when he was going to repay the kind gesture that he showed him, Charles, by saving his life. "Is that not his late father's dream?" Charles asked himself. "Is there anything wrong? You suddenly have a change of expression" Morgan questioned. "Nope, I'm fine. I am only having a slight headache. I think I need to rest" Charles fabricated smoothly. "Really? Your wounds are still fresh" Morgan uttered and moved closer to him. She placed her Left hand on Charles's forehead. An orange light was transferred into Charles's head through her palm and within Five seconds, his wound closed up and he healed. "I feel much better, thank you" He smiled at her. That's Morgan's Unique power, Despite being an assassin, she also has the power to heal and she can transform into different creatures if she wishes. "You are now owning me one" she joked. "Sure and I'll make sure to repay it" Charles retorted. "Really?" She asked again while Charles nodded positively. "Then, take me along with you for the mission please" Age begged, giving Charles her cute Puppy face. One would have thought she likes Charles romantically but it wasn't true. Both of their hearts were far away from anything called romance. "You have to deal with the escapees, Morgan. Face that and let me handle mine" he bluntly refused. "Please, Charles. I promise never to disturb you. I just wanna see the overhyped lady" she begged more. "Okay, join me when you are done" Charles finally agreed, Knowing how stubborn Morgan might be. She would let him rest till he danced to her turn. Also, talking of the dragon lady, Charles thought she would be of help since he has tangible information regarding her. ★★★★★★★★ Tony arrived back at his home, after spending some time with Elena. He was glad that he had managed to convince her about the marriage. "My Lord, how did it go?" His right-hand man, Jayden asked. "It went well! I can't believe the throne will soon be mine! I'll ascend my father's throne and rule over this clan. If grace is on my side, I might rule over this city as well" he said happily, staring at the empty throne. "Don't you think the Regalia will suit me? Hahahaha" he giggled while Jayden also smiled. Go and start preparing for my wedding. I want it to happen in seven days. Make sure my bride has the most beautiful clothes and also, send invitations to all the elders of the clan and the city dignitaries. I can't wait for my coronation to happen after that" he Instructed Jayden, who bowed slightly before rushing out. Tony smirked and entered his room. He quickly used some formation to block the entrance, preventing any other person from entering the room. After that, he lifted his mattress and opened the wooden floor like it was a door. The floor opened, revealing four staircases. Tony stepped down gently and down there was another door. He closed his eyes, muttered some incantations and the door opened, revealing another room. A lady was sleeping on the red bed. She jerked away from her sleep and immediately she heard footsteps. Tony lay beside her, caressing her hair softly while she woke up. "My love, what took you so long? I missed you so much today. I felt lonely and wanted to go outside but when I remember your words, I choose to exercise patience" She uttered, placing her head on Tony's lap. "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to stay long so that I could convince her easily and thankfully, she accepted. Just wait for a little bit, I'll soon unleash you and you will gain your movement as you have always wanted" Tony assured her and pecked her forehead. "The blood in the jug is almost finished. I need a pregnant woman's blood this time around. I've been craving it for a while, '' she murmured. "Consider it done," Tony replied, smiling at her. "I hope I'll get to drink Elena's blood Sooner. I've never tasted one from a dragon clan. Promise me you will fetch it for me when the time comes" She requested again. "Of course, anything for you my love" Tony answered, kissing her shortly. Suddenly, they began to hear a scream from outside. "Tony! Tony!! Tony!!!" The voice kept calling. " I'll be back my sweetheart' she told the lady, who nodded positively before he dashed out. The person wanted to enter Tony's room but got pushed back by the force. "Open the door now!" The person yelled. Tony smirked before he removed the formation. His second brother, Richard entered. "How dare you prepare your wedding when the throne is still vacant. Is that rude of you? It hasn't been three months since our father of unknown sickness, but you are already planning your marriage? Why can't you mourn him for three months, let's the other choose a new leader for the clan before you start your marital plan?" Richard blasted him. Tony first laughed before he began to respond. "How does father's death stop my marriage with Elena? The marriage has been sealed for a very long time and I don't think anyone has the right to query my authority. And for the clan leader, you don't need to worry about that. It's a battle between me and the biggest brother. Being the firstborn isn't the criteria to be the leader but our level of magical power will determine that" he lamented, yelling at him. "What? Our father's death doesn't concern you? Are you even ready to fight the big brother for the leader post? I'm highly disappointed in you and I'll make sure to report you to the leader" Richard retorted. "Get the fuck out of my room!" Tony shouted again, using his hand for demonstration. Their father died a few months ago. It was late in the night when Tony began to look for another fresh blood to feed his demon lover. All of the clan members had gone to the annual ceremony that was held that day, leaving Tony's Father at home. He wanted to start leaving when Tony struck him in his lung. He couldn't utter any words since his lung was blocked. His blood was drained immediately, leaving him almost lifeless. Tony smirked in satisfaction. He delivered the blood to his lover before joining his mother at the ceremony. After the party, the clan members recovered their leader's body and he was rarely breathing at that moment. He could not say anything as he was close to crossing over to the afterlife. All efforts to revive him proved abortive and he died the following day. Since that day, it has been tagged as an unknown illness. In the mystic world, their vital point has always been their lungs. When the lung is attacked, either formation or incantation wouldn't be possible unless the affected party has a unique power that may help him in another way, which is not always possible. Tony was a beast in human form, trying all the means possible to satisfy his lover's request and also fulfill his dream of becoming the Clan leader.
