When I tried to make a fic,
all my ideas were taken,
I was left with none,
so I went with bacon. - By Techi.
On a serious note though, enjoy! Sorry its short, I was busy today so I'm kinda burnt out
Chapter 4
"I don't know" I stated as I looked at my hand.
"How can you not know?" stated my father, before following up with "Damn it... I want one... All the women would love it." And thus, his impure motivations come to light. He stopped his little... Delusion after mother glared at him.
"On a relevant note, I believe we should conceal it for the time being." Stated mother.
"Oooh! Conceal what?!" stated a voice from behind me. "Interesting..." he said while looking
at my hand. Now that I look at him, he's a tall, lithe man, with dark gray skin and pointy ears. His clothes are pure black pants, and a black shirt. Looking at him, my father has a annoyed expression, before saying "Hello, Shalai, for what reason do you appear before me today?"
"Is that any way to treat an old friend?" he stated.
"Well, it seems like any time you come around, you're either in need of money or being chased by someone."
"Haha, that is quite true, but no, this time I regret to inform you that I came on official business. But if you like, you can still give me some money."
"What is this 'Official Business'.. Wait, lets not discuss this here." said my father before taking 'Shalai' into the house.
Not really interested in whats going on, I just go inspect the wolf corpse, it seems that it truely does not have any bones it it. As I was looking at it, I was wondering what happened to the internal muscle structure due to losing the bones, if they collapsed on themselves or not, I started thinking 'What of the internal organs.' And 'I really should go get something to cut it open'
As I was thinking the last thought, the tattoo on my wrist slowly started to disappear, starting from the wrist heading to my fingers, and from the tips of my fingers a mist started to envelop my hand. The mist is pure white, almost like snow. As the mist formed around my hand, it started coagulating into a gauntlet which reached to my elbow.
Stolen novel; please report.
At each knuckle there was cracks in it, presumably to allow movement, and at the tip of each finger was short, pointy claws. By the time it was about halfway manifested, Father and Shalai walked back out. "Oh, I was wrong, I thought the rune on your hand was only storage..." stated Shalai. "Just another thing to report, I assume" he mumbled as he walked away.
What the hell just happened? How did he know what the mark on my hand did with a glance, when I didn't even know what it is?
"It's decided.. In one year from now, we shall depart to the dark elf village, An'shai" said father.
"Until then, I shall have Earl teach you more about magic, though I dont know if it'll apply any more to yours but who knows?"
After he said that, I tried to dispell my gauntlet, but to no avail, it would not dispell.
"Ah well, lets get going" said father as he started dragging me away, after a few minutes of walking through the town, we end up infront of a large building, as we walk into it, father yells "EARL WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Over here, you do not have to yell." he replied calmly, but you could hear the irritation in his voice.
As we walk into the building, we turn right down a hall and turn into the second room on the left. "Alright, you'll be taking care of Conba for the next year. Train him, run experiments on his power, whatever, just make him stronger." Father said before he left, not even giving Earl a chance to respond.
