V2 Chapter 3 -

(Author's Note: - Keep in mind, S-Rank means Saint Rank, which is the ascension into a higher realm different from regular mana condensation realm, which is 1st Order, 2nd Order, 5th Order and etc. If you are familiar with xianxia novels that I am a great fan of which are Coiling Dragon, ISSTH, Swallowed Star, Stellar Transformations and etc. Then you would know there are higher tiers of realms of power.

For example the increase in power from 5th Rank-6th Rank is about the same as 6th Rank-7th Rank, but the increase in power from 9th Rank-Saint Rank, or Saint-Rank-God Rank is a totally different realm and cannot be compared. This is just basic xianxia knowledge for those of you that aren't familiar with it.

The reason why Sol can kill beasts of the S-Rank is because of his body's natural power that is comparable if not tougher than a beasts, the combination of that along with a Dantian gives him double the offensive power. Adding poison and double element affinity into the mix, I know it sounds a bit overpowered but......well I'm not going to lie it is overpowered, but just so you know there are beasts out there just as frightening and even some humans!!! Okay Nuff spoilerism.)

V2 Chapter 3-

Serpent Falls-

Sol was currently feeding a tiny green serpent failed poisoned remnants along with some of his blood. The tiny green snake ate happily while coiling around Sol's hand which drew the jealousy of both Hydrian and Hydreas, they stared daggers at the tiny green snake who ignored them completely and would even turn and sneer at them.

Sol watching this confrontation let out a laugh and motioned the twins to come over, in a second they had already appeared scaring the tiny green snake who hastily ran away after finishing the last bit of remnants in a huge gulp. It stuck it's tongue out at them and quickly fled the cave. Sol seeing this shook his head helplessly, this little green guy had a great range of emotions and expressions and seemed to be quite intelligent.

This tiny green guy appeared a few months ago and would always follow Sol around eating the remains like the others, but this one seemed to never want to lose a chance at eating it and always hung around. Naturally Sol noticed him after a while and seeing how small he was, Sol started carrying him around in fear that when he left Serpent Falls another beast would advantage it while he was fighting.

A few times it's parents had to drag it back to eat regular food and hunt but it would always return and as sure as the sun rises, it would be behind Sol following. Sol tried throwing some of the poison remnants in the air a few times to see him chase after it but was astonished to find out the little guy already had wings and flew towards it.

Sol found that strange because it's parents didn't have wings and they seemed to treasure him greatly, after studying him for a while he came to know the little guy was a variant species. The wings on the little green guy's back would meld completely with it's body when not in use and it would appear like just an ordinary serpent and the wings weren't noticeable at all.

When Sol examined the wings he saw that they were incredibly soft and had a strange bony feel to it but was able to support the weight of the tiny green serpent. Sol didn't think too much of it and let it come and go as it pleased. He suddenly wondered about Mitra, it seemed last month he had fallen asleep and had not yet awoken which made Sol worry. He looked down at the golden bow which Hydreas had slobbered in her mouth and let out a laugh.

(Maybe that's why he's asleep) -Sol

Suddenly a voice interrupted Sol's happy family time with the twins -

[You seem to be having fun....I thought you would be scared to death..Here I was thinking I had to come check and make sure you weren't dead] -Zee

Sol laughed at this cold voice, turned around and stared at Zee warmly, a hint of teasing was within his eyes which astonished her-

[Who are you fooling? Was it not love at first sight? You've been checking on me several times a week since I got here and even threatened a few S Ranks not to attack me..Even one time I had almost died and passed out, a certain someone ordered a few nearby beasts to move me...Except for this month, where did you go? I didn't see you at all this time] -Sol

Zee turned her face to the side and she was hidden in the darkness so Sol couldn't see her at all, her delicate face was angered but tinged with red-

[..It wasn't me] -Zee

A cold detached voice filled Sol's ear drums, much colder than the first time he heard it, but Sol knew it was false and continued.

[Ohh..must have been my imagination..are there any other red-haired Lamias around here? Hmm...Should I go ask Old Black about it?..She might know something about it for sure] -Sol

Zee slightly flinched as she remembered Sol and the Guardians had basically become Familia. A prediction even she couldn't see coming, she had told them to look out for him but didn't expect they would basically become like teachers to Sol and his Soul Beasts.

[...You are forbidden from disturbing the Guardians of this place] -Zee

Sol laughed out loud, Zee became irritated seeing him so pleased with himself and she didn't look him in his eyes for quite some time. Seeing her irritation Sol didn't push it any further and let out a warm smile. The two chatted slowly for quite a while about Sol's recent events, it seemed Zee had missed speaking with Sol. He could tell she didn't want to speak about herself, he understood and asked nothing.

[You've...changed] -Zee

Sol was surprised, but then nodded.

[Yeah..I became stronger] -Sol

Zee looked at him for a bit, then shook her head.

[That's not what I meant..you feel different compared to last month] -Zee

[Oh?...So you admit it?] -Sol

[Che! *hiss*] -Zee

Zee immediately became angry, Sol laughed and then raised his arms in surrender-

[Okay Okay, I'm sorry] -Sol

[Hmph, seeing that your fine I'll take my leave] -Zee

Zee turned around and left angrily, Sol seeing this quickly spoke-

[Zee! Why don't you drop by again?..I missed talking with you] -Sol

Zee hesitated for a moment, gave Sol a complex look and then turn and left-

[...I'll think about it] -Zee

Even though she said this, she felt a bit complicated in her heart. She had originally thought the effects of the mark had started happening and she didn't know if these new feelings of hers that had been growing were a result of them or not.

She had just came back from her home where she searched for information about the mutated Lamia's mark. She didn't want to ask any of her sisters about it and rouse suspicion so she did the research herself and found out the mark wouldn't even take effect until one year which made her even more confused.

Zee had observed Sol since he came here as a weakling, and she thought he would cowardly live within the cave for a year and then ask her to leave. It wouldn't be strange for a human to lose the will to live after seeing the kind of beasts that live within Serpent Falls, she had seen it happen before to another Lamia's candidate. Gradually she came to know how wrong she was. Sol fought with his life on the line to become stronger, many times she watched these battles and she saw him prevail battle after battle slowly becoming powerful.

Many times he came close to death when he fought beasts much stronger than himself and risked his life to kill it. What made her astonished, was that he never let his Soul Beasts fight anything too overbearing that he didn't believe they could kill and were treating them as children rather than his tools.

He never used them as a shield or to test an enemy's power and slowly but surely these things became engraved in her heart as she looked on. Zee slowly began wanting him to prevail in every battle silently within her heart and that is when she noticed the changes.

Zee would say nothing but her expression during those battles would speak volumes, her nails would dig into the tree she was hiding behind and she even severed one off completely.  One must know these trees born in a dense mana forest are as sturdy and hard as steel and the sheer size of them are overbearing. This was a clear indicator that not all S-Ranks are the same-

After that, she saw Sol bonding among the residents of Serpent Falls and he had became part of it's Familia. This made her confused in her heart, she had started to wonder if people who possessed the mark was as they said and doubted it completely. She had never seen a human, who fit amongst the beasts so easily and there was no sense of anything about it looking wrong or out of place.

She had no reason why she had begun to feel such a way about a human, especially one so despicable. As she thought this she clenched her fists in anger-

(..Shameless!) -Zee

(Mother always said those handsome humans were always the most shameless beings! She was right!) -Zee

She gave a cold snort and disappeared with a burning face into the river below. While all this was going, a bunch of S-Rank Serpents type beasts were viewing from on top of a platform, led by Glowy. They had been listening in on the entire conversation between the two, courtesy of Glowy.

Glowy relayed the conversation between Sol and Zee to the other S-Rank Serpent Type beasts through their minds and they were able to hear everything clearly, everytime Zee got angry as if one cue, Glowy would knock one of the S-Rank beasts who had a rattle on it's tail and a lazy eye and it would shake it's tail at the opportune time increasing the drama of the conversation tenfold.

The crowd of S-Rank serpents reacted to every line in the conversation, they seemed to have tears in their eyes as they saw Zee storm off from Sol and the shaking of the rattled tail increased. In the end, they had the impression that Sol was rejected and some honestly cried tears, Glowy on the other hand had a mischievous look plastered all about.

S-Rank beasts were incredibly intelligent, some were comparable to humans and some were even much higher. This in turn brought about ego's and personalities and it's not strange that they behave like humans at times and this was clearly an example of it.

[Don't forget you can pay in advance for the next viewing of "The Human and the Red-haired Beauty" you never know when the next viewing might occur and at that time you may not have herbs and will not be allowed to see!! Rare herbs get half off on the next viewing!!] -Glowy

One by one the S-Ranks hurriedly spat out herbs in front of Glowy as if paying for the show, the shameless Huge Red Serpent had a pleasant glint in it's eyes as it saw the herbs pile up in front of it.

Old Black saw this, shook it's head in annoyance and fell half asleep.

Within Earthernvale-

A new day had arrived within Earthernvale, the Royal Family along with King Aereis and his daughter Mina sat within the royal dining room. Aereis had a solemn look in his face, Mina's veil still covered her lower face and hair and only her eye pretty bright eyes were revealed.

They had sent a party out everyday for the first two months but were unable to come up with any results, not even a corpse was found and the atmosphere remained a bit grim. Aereis however, had a firm look in his eyes.

(I definitely saw that waterhole, if it's that kid he'd certainly survive. Just, wher eever he may have ended up may be a problem) -Aereis

As he thought these things, a voice interrupted him-

[...Father] -Mina

Mina looked at her father worriedly, she was indeed sad that the boy that rescued her died but she knew her father's bearing and knew he felt it even more and he kept refusing to believe the boy had perished.

Mina had cried a few silent tears for this savior, but six months had passed and her father still remained within Earthernvale and they had pressing things to do, mainly she wanted to see her mother and tell her she was alive.

[It's fine Mina, we will depart today. We've imposed for far too long already] -Aereis

Even though the old King said this, one could hear the reluctance in his voice.

[Nonsense! You can stay as long as you like until you've made proper arrangements King Aereis] -King Ironspine

The King of Earthernvale, Julius Ironspine, firmly voiced his disagreement with the King. The mood of the King could also be seen with a bit of a grim look, it was obvious he himself had not gotten over the fact that Sol had seemingly perished.

[..No I have to go for sure, I must tell my wife that I am alive and I must return to my Kingdom. I'm glad that it's still thriving and my son has taken up the mantle, but I should return with due haste] -Aereis

Aereis had a tough look in his eyes as he gazed out of the window, there was one thing this old man could never get over. That was losing a comrade in arms, he had always been this way and was the reason why his Kingdom loved him greatly and cherished him. When news of his "supposed" death spread, the Kingdom had fell into a night of tears. Naturally for the princess as well, but his presence was something that kept the Kingdom together.

[It was nice to see you again King Aereis, I've prepared a unit for you a long time ago. Whenever you please you can leave, no rush at all. Let us have a final banquet tonight, and may we meet again in the future. For comrades!] -Former King

The Former King voiced his pleasantries as he raised a glass, and Aereis nodded and similarly raised a glass.

[Indeed, For comrades!] -Aereis

Aereis thought that wine had never tasted so bitter before and gulped it down in a single mouthful. The Former King also had the same feelings, and he never believed for one second that Sol had died. It had to be said the two people who believed the most in Sol's qualities were these two knowledgeable old men that had faced the world of battles and whose name had been recorded in history as great kings among the mapped area of Magnolia.

All the while, the rest of the family was quiet. It had almost become like a forbidden subject to discuss Sol, even though he had only been there for two days, the mark he left in their hearts were deep. There were also many regrets within the 3rd Queen's heart, she never dared comment on the subject further but people could tell she was deeply disturbed.

Liore had refused to come to the banquet and didn't attend her regular meals and preferred staying in her room for a few months. Even though she was happy to see her mother and loved spending time with her, there would be a few moments when a bit of sadness would appear in her eyes that her mother did not miss.

It was obvious to the 2nd Queen how Liore felt and she understood that it was very possible that Liore could have had feelings for Sol, the kind between that of a man and a woman. This had made her extremely sad, she didn't know what to do to help her daughter and wanted to ease her pain.

She understood when Liore saw her it was obvious who her presence reminded Liore of and it broke her heart a bit. The 2nd Queen wasn't stupid and at some point, she went to Liore's room and apologized to her while crying and hugging her, Liore broke down along with her and after that it had calmed down quite a bit and gradually they came to terms with accepting it

The same could be said for Salina and Regius, they themselves were also out of odds for a while but as time went on they came to terms with it. Regius always kept a shard of metal from Sol's spacecraft that had broken off and after having to try all manners of methods to get it melted; he made into a pendant which he always kept around his neck.

...

One month later, Aereis had left Earthernvale on route to his Kingdom. This journey would take him at least a year, thanks to the King and Former King he was given an escort party consisting of a few Scout Brigades who seemed to be accustomed to doing these sort of traveling services and their journey began.

The escort group was small, but capable and it was the best type of escort one could hope for on such a perilous journey.

**

Within the Azonia forest, an unmapped territory of Magnolia-

A silhouette seemed to be hard at work near a forge, in a workshop-

*Pong* *Pong* *Pong*

An Iron hammer in one hand, the delicate hands pounded away at the red flaming metal causing sparks to fly.

*Pong* Pong* *Pong*

Every now and then she would stop and wipe her brow with her wrist, or brush her silver hair away from her eyes. Her silver eyes flashed cutely, which absolutely did not fit her image of forging steel and even if her face was covered in black ash one could tell she was as beautiful as a full moon.

This girl was Claire De Fleur, or in this world known as Lunaris Vi Azalia, or affectionately called "Luna". When she came to this world, her inheritance from her parents caused her to work non-stop on things people of this world had never seen before, though she never showed them to anyone because as far as she was concerned they were for practice. She was adopted by the Head Huntress, Bellona VI Azalia, Ruler of the Forest Queens of Azonia and Amazulu Tribe.

*Pong* *Pong* *Pong*

Nearby on the floor beside her, a weird armor silhouette could be seen. It looked like an exo-skeleton and wasn't by any means big, and was perfectly Claire's size. On it's arms and legs were spherical indents and within some of these indents were particular orbs that shone brightly. Some were aqua blue, some were earthern brown, some were pale green and some were fiery red.

Within this girl's silver eyes, one could see a ring of hexogonal symbols flashing deeply within them. When Lunaris had came to this world, the weird knowledge that filled her head of the thing called "Science" allowed her to be able to see mana as numbers. Using this rare gift which had never been heard of in Magnolia, she worked endlessly on building this thing beside her. She decided to name it " Truth Eyes" as she was able to see the raw form of anything mana based.

Using "Truth Eyes" she was able to spot weakness in mana crafted materials, able to program these things called Element Orbs with specific effects. Much like how one would use commands issued from their imagination to control their Dantian to produce the desired effect, she was able to do the same to these Element Orbs.

These Element Orbs were extremely rare and finding one was extremely hard, It was said that these particular orbs were the remains of peak S-Rank and higher beasts that had solidified over time. These things were extremely priceless and had no market price, because one of these orbs could greatly help one's cultivation if placed in their room while meditating.

These Element Orbs could be considered the Dantian of a peak S-rank beast or higher. One would absorb the mana from these Element Orbs which the original beast contained, afterward when it was empty; it would take a while to recharge by gathering and purifying mana from the surroundings. Once fully charged it could be absorbed once more by the possessor and the process can be repeated for ensuring an intake of higher mana purity.

The mana purification level from these Element Orbs were naturally at a high standard as they were the means by which these powerful beasts absorbed mana and initiated their powerful techniques. It's purification level would be several times greater than a human, and the reason why these Orbs were so sought after was because the mana purified by the Orbs were absolutely safe for humans to absorb despite it's increase in purity and power.

These Element Orbs were extremely hard and could not be broken easily at all. Element Orbs at the peak S-rank could be shattered if hit with enough power from another peak S-Rank, however God-Ranked element Orbs and higher could not be shattered at all. The fact that Lunaris had a few of these calmly lying around her workshop was proof how much she was valued and how well she was treated.

Her slender fingers held the hammer in her hand firmly as she pounded away at the flaming metal.

*Pong* *Pong* *Pong*

After a while, she released a tiresome sigh and took a seat on a chair looking at a few of the Element Orbs-

[Luna!!] -???

Luna looked toward the door of her smoky workshop and it swung open, letting out the volumes of smoke-

[*cough* *cough* Oh my...*cough* *cough*..Luna!! You need to leave this place once in a while!! There's so much ash, dust and smoke..*cough* *cough* Luna...I guarantee you your man won't like this kind of woman *cough* *cough*] -???

A tiny silhouette shakily made it's way through the smoke, as it wheezed and coughed and cursed a few vulgar sentences-

[Mirena careful where you walk!] -Luna

Luna quickly warned but was a second too late-

[AHHH!!] -Mirena

*CRASH*

Luna sighed and face palmed, she looked towards the smoky silhouette who was covered head to toe in black ash and sut. She stretched her hand to help the pitiful creature, who gratefully accepted and wiped her face. Showing a cute yet mischievous face, green eyes, long black hair and a nose that twitched with liveliness. She seemed to be about 12 years old and was very short for her age.

This girl was Mirena Vi Azalia, Luna's foster sister since arriving as well as friend and foul-mouthed advisor. This girl despite her frank personality was rather quite a nice girl, if one could ignore her foul-mouthed ways.

[I told you be careful when you wander in here, I never have time to pack everything away Mirena. Everytime you come in here, you fall at the same spot and get yourself covered in ash. You have to be careful, there are lot's of dangerous stuff scattered around in here!] -Luna

Luna scolded this troublesome girl who would cause a commotion where-ever she went and let out a sigh.

[It's all your fault! Sticking inside here day after day pounding that stupid thing! What is that anyway?! It looks like a sickly old man!!] -Mirena

Mirena questioned Luna as she stole glances at the exo-skeleton.

[...But you've never seen a man before] -Luna

Luna shook her head at this unbelievable girl.

[I-I've heard stories!! I've heard men get shrivvly when it's cold!!..Anyway...W-What is it anyway?] -Mirena

[Y-You..] -Luna

Luna looked at her in the eye for a bit and understood Mirena didn't have a clue what she just said and gave up not bothering to explain because she knew for sure it would only incite the girl's mouth. Education on the birds and the bees was natural for 16 year olds within the Amazulu tribe. It was only natural as they had to go out at some point to find men to conceive and return to the tribe afterward to keep it functioning and was a very normal thing.

Groups of women would leave and return, and so naturally the knowledge between men and women became understood and the residents of Azonia were educated young. There was always the vulgar banter a few of the women would engage in, naturally the younger ones who heard would repeat it and this just so happened to be the case for Mirena.

Luna was obviously exempted from this exercise because of Sol, the Head Huntress didn't pressure her because she could see how much Luna wanted to see him. Everyday spent inside the workshop, the Head Huntress knew she was doing it to be able to find her fiance one day. After seeing her tragic life, the Head Huntress decided to adopt her and allow her to do as she pleased.

Luna glanced at the exo-skeleton twirled her silver hair, laughed and replied-

[So that's what you came here for!] -Luna

Mirena shook upon hearing the accusation and shifted her shady gaze to the left. This girl always made Luna put a smile on her face because of her strong personality and was a huge factor to play in cheering Luna up considering her circumstances.

Mirena was a bit of an unfortunate circumstance, she could not cultivate any mana and she possessed a rare disease called "Stone Veins" which obviously made one unable to cultivate mana. Even though she wasn't badly treated at all, there were things she could not escape from. While her friends practiced either battle techniques or magic, she would sit at the side-lines and wasn't purposefully neglected which seemed a bit worse for her.

No one held any hatred for her or disliked her for the fact that she couldn't cultivate as the Amazulu tribe possessed a strong unity and loved one another as sisters; However, she could not escape the truth of never ever being on the same level as her friends.

Time passed by, and although her friends still came to see her and spend time with her; there would be days and weeks when they had to train and would not be able to see her which naturally caused them to grow apart.

Whenever she saw her friends now and they would invite her, she would always find a reason to decline because it was painful for her to see them together. She felt like they treated her like a mascot and she never felt as an equal anymore with them, especially since they liked talking about battle techniques and magic.

It was because of these reasons she became attached to Luna who similarly could not cultivate mana in that sort of sense. Naturally when she heard Luna had been working on a way for non-cultivators to fight against beasts, the mischievous little girl quickly made her way to Luna's workshop which she hated so much to see if she had made progress.

Mirena thought to herself if Luna succeeded maybe one day she could stand side by side with her friends and Luna understood that. She knew that the only person who may have wanted this technology to work more than she herself, was quite probably Mirena.

**

Although Luna could condense the mana in her body giving her a slight change in strength and a overall sturdier constitution, she could not use battle techniques or mana. Neither did she have the absurd strength Sol had achieved with his full version of the Eternity pill.

Luna's Eternity pill was a superficial version which wasn't powerful enough to give her the same effects as Sol's. Or rather than superficial version, it would be better to call it a specialized version as her's possessed something Sol's did not.

Nanites -  Micro-organisms biogenetically engineered by the finest technology, the world-age breaking science that awarded Dr. Peskin and Dr. Liselle their names. These nanites were prefused within the pill and gave her the ability to have complete control of her body, getting rid of poison or illnesses within her body was something Lunar could easily do.

Dr Peskin, and Liselle did something even more impossible on their last day of earth, they melded the nanites into her body and then used the effects of the pill to increase it's power. It was theoretical and it probably shouldn't have worked, however it would have caused her no difficulties and after knowing there was no risk and all reward; her parents decided to do it anyway. That was because the effects of the Eternity pill were not predictable and the fusion of the two had a slight chance of succeeding-

Even if it failed, she would still have two lines of defenses against the radiation poisoning, not only that but she would suffer no side effects. With this reasoning, both parents decided to specialize the pill and so they attempted to create their first super-powered nano technology. However, this effect was not created right away-

The human body wasn't something that humans mastered despite what they believed, the human body always held strange secrets and produced miracles that science could not explain. It was the belief in this miracle, that they created this specialized pill. For scientists, believing in miracles was contradictory but when one's children came into play, praying to God for a miracle wouldn't hurt.

Science was something that was created through trial and error, when one forgets the theoretical stage of science - the future of science will stagnate!

What they had not taken into consideration / or could not have, was that she would have exposure to mana. Mana was the phenomenon of magic, who could predict how mana would affect foreign powers such as science?

When Lunar began meditating and condensing mana in her body, slowly but surely these nanites began fusing into the specialized blue liquid that invaded her entire body- This was the X factor from the eternity pill and exactly what Sol had, but on a more minor scale.

Even though it was lesser version, fusing the nanites which were specially created from Luna's tissue were not hard at all as the nanites weren't recognized as foreign material but biological material.

These nanites remained asleep waiting for the day they would activate-

Serpent Falls-

Sol was cross-legged on top of a waterfall, a golden glow emanating from his body formed a few pillars of light around him. The new day's sun had long risen and it's bright light shone through the cracks of shadows that the large tree that covered Serpent Falls had created. The day was about to come to an end and beside him, Hydrian condensed her light essence and coiled around in it's smaller size sleeping comfortably in his lap.

Hydreas had gone out to hunt, Sol had allowed Hydreas to move about now as she pleased so long as she didn't leave Serpent falls and came back before dark. Hydreas like a loving child always obeyed Sol, and went on the outskirts to hunt a few low-rank beasts as per Sol's orders. He knew she had a lot of energy and unless she was able to hunt and go wild she would be restless for a long while.

Sol slowly opened his eyes as a gust of wind blew and a few leaves followed with it-

*WHISH*

The leaves that passed near Sol, or more precisely the pillars of light were cut in halves. The glow of light faded and Sol looked towards the direction to the right of him as he sensed Hydreas approaching-

*SSS*

Sure enough the lively twin came speeding towards Sol with something in it's mouth, it was shaped like an enlarged bull and had very thin pointed horns that looked like two steel swords. It looked a bit too thin for such a huge creature to have but the hardness and shine it gave off made it not look like a joke.

Seeing this Sol laughed, Hydreas would always bring back the biggest prey she caught and by the time she arrived it was usually already roasted and good enough to eat, which wasn't done intentionally.

Sol grabbed a leg at the same time rubbed Hydrian's head, after a tiny yawn she woke up, and as if on que only her mouth enlarged and swallowed the rest of the bull-type beast whole, after a few chewing sounds she spat out it's horns which were covered in poison. It looked absolutely terrifying to see such a tiny snake swallow something so large instantly.

While Sol was eating, he happened to just glance at the horn and at the same time the wind blew.

*Whistle*

Sol looked at the horns and noticed one had a fracture and every time the wind blew it would make a pleasant sound that seemed to calm him. Sol quickly finished eating and hastily grabbed the horns and separated it with the Fanged Blades, he took the one with the fracture and blew on it and sure enough-

*Whistle*

Sol thought it made a wonderful sound, when he looked around he was astonished to see both Hydrian and Hydreas seemed to be entranced by the sound made from it. Sol took his Fanged Blades and experimented with the horn and after understanding how it worked, he took the other horn and skillfully created an instrument with several holes.

As he blew through the horned instrument, he shifted his fingers on top of the holes and discovered new pleasant sounds, he fiddled and fiddled and understood the different sounds. He found which ones were pleasant to Hydrian and Hydreas and shortly after he created a melody that could put them to sleep, Sol laughed at this and thought it was something nice.

He had never heard such wonderful music that seemed so calming, he played this horned instrument that carried the song of the wind all throughout the night, the beasts of Serpent Falls had all closed their eyes.

Off into the distance Zee was about to approach Sol, but when she heard the music she had stopped where she was and listened to it intently and decided not to disturb him.

Today the song of the wind, had played until the sun had fallen-
