CHAPTER 28
282 ac
Now that I got what I want, I can go out explore the region and the most important part I can go in to the secluded areas like mountains and forest to do magical experiments. The dimensional space is too small for the experiments and if I’m right I’m going to need a lot of herbs and animals for those experiments and I can’t find all of them in the Godswood, it is too small; most importantly it is not secluded.
I got in to my room and open the window, Poe and Erebus comes inside now I look at them carefully they grew a lot these 2 years. Erebus became 2 times its old size. Before he had a wingspan of 1.5-meter ( 60 in ) but now it is close to 3 meters, his length was 50 cm ( 20 in ) now it is around 80 cm ( 31 in ) people started to think he is a black eagle now. Poe grew too but not that much she is bigger than normal ravens but not that much. Her wingspan is around 2 meter ( 80 in ) and her length is around 60 cm ( 24 in ). She is almost at the eagle size too. They love standing on my shoulders while I meditate and circulate my mana but they started to feel heavy on my shoulders. I think Erebus is almost 5 kg ( 11 lbs. ) and Poe is 3 kg ( 6.6 lbs. ). It is really starting to feel taxing on my shoulders to hold them for hours. I shoo them away but whenever I focus on meditating or mana circulation, they land on my shoulder without me realizing it. Even when I kick them out and lock the latch on the window, they are smart enough to unlock it. Of course, I can force them to not do that or I can enter the space without them but when I do those things, they become really sad, I can feel that so I spoil them a bit, what can I say I like the brats.
I sit down on the ground and start circulating my mana before I become lost in my mana training, I feel them perching on my shoulders. This time the circulation is a bit different, usually it is like a vacuum cleaner it sucks the mana to my heart but this time it is like a vortex no that is not entirely right it is more like a storm and I’m at the eye of the storm. The mana keeps whirling around me without going inside my body but every passing second there is more mana in the vortex. It keeps getting bigger and bigger; as it grows it gets harder the control. I started to feel a bit of dread like if I lose control of the mana, something bad going to happen to me. The mana vortex starts to get unstable; it feels like I’m holding on to the ledge on a cliff with only my fingertips.

As the vortex becomes unstable, I start to lose my conscious, to not lose my conscious, I bit down on my lips. Can feel the blood running down on my throat and leaves a bitter iron like taste. But it works, the pain helps me focus and I started to regain control of the vortex, as I gain more control the vortex keeps getting compressed and when I get the full control of it, it becomes a disc of mana around me then it just dawns on me, I know what I have to do. I start compressing it more but this time I compress its diameter too. At the end of it, it becomes a disc as big as my palm on top of my head. I get a hold of it with my mind and command it to go to my heart. It darts in to my chest and takes its place around my heart, creating my mana core. The second the core takes it shape I start to get new knowledge about ritual concepts and spells.
I become a level 2 druid now. At that moment I hear the voice of a little boy.
“Stupid Aermir, don’t stop giving us the delicious wind.”
And then I hear the voice of a little girl.
“Don’t call daddy stupid, you are the stupid.”
“Who is that, who said that?”
The boy said “Did he just hear us.” I realized I wasn’t hearing the voices. The voices were coming to my head directly. It was telepathic.
“Yes, I can hear you who is this?”
A/N: FROM NOW ON İF SOMETHİNG İS BETWEEN (-) TWO DASHES, İT MEANS İT İS AN İNNER VOİCE OR TELEPATHİC.
- Stupid Aermir, I’m me, who am I supposed to be other than me?-
-Daddy can finally hear us. I’m so happy.-
“ You are the stupid, I’m asking your name?”
-No, you are stupid Aermir, I’m the smartest Erebus.-
Once I heard that, I turned around and looked at Erebus with a shocked face. I was able to communicate with them via more basic ways and I knew they were as smart as 2 to 5 years old children in some aspects but this is beyond that.
“Is this the effect of talk to animal spell? Did they learn to talk right now or I started to understand them now.”
-We always spoke stupid Aermir didn’t hear us before.-
“Who are you calling stupid, you over grown fat bird.”
He bit my ear and started flying away before I could catch him.
“Ahhh, come here you asshole of a bird.” I got up and chase after him but he flew out of the window.
-Erebus, stop calling daddy stupid.-
-how is he Erebus’s father, he doesn’t have a beak or wings, he doesn’t even have beautiful feathers like Erebus. He is so ugly; I don’t even want to look at him.-
-Daddy is daddy- I knew Poe is a good girl, like I expected Erebus is an asshole. Then she continued speaking.
- He might be so ugly but he is still daddy. You shouldn’t bully daddy.-
Corner of my mouth started to twitch. You as well, Brutus... Should I go to the corner of the room and cry.
