"What do you Say?"
"Well, what can you offer me ?"
"Even I can't bless you because of your curse, but i can give you one ability to tip the balance in your favor.
I can give you Blood Magic, which lets you absorb the strength of your enemies and use it for your purpose.
I will also give you basic information about the ability ."
"And why should i trust your word?"
"Every word spoken in this realm of excistence is binding, thus the verbal agreement of us both will suffice."
"I agree to your terms."

---------Explanation Blood Magic-------
"Blood Magic lets you absorb the blood essence + the soul of your slain enemies.
The blood essence with soul is visible to anyone adept in the ways of the soul. Be it some sort of priest, who can exorcise the soul, which destroys the blood essence or a necromancer, who can summon your slain foe to battle you once again, while also destroying the blood essence.
You can also let the soul move on and keep the blood essence,without it. In this form the blood essence loses all it's power, but gains the ability to shield one blood essence with soul permanently from outside access.
With multiple blood essences + soul you can form a weapon or even an armor. The more blood essences the stronger the built structure.You can mask the blood as any material of your choosing.
And your mightiest but also most dangerous ability is refining the blood essence. You can absorb the prowess of your fallen enemy. This is only possible with an unshielded blood essence infused with a soul. While absorbing you are unable to move until the process is finished. The stronger the enemy in comparison to you the longer the process will take.
If the enemy has the same stats as you, the process will last 12 hours. Once started you can't stop the absorbtion.
Also you will only get a part of their power and the weaker the enemy in comparison to you the further the absorbed power is reduced.
But beware, Blood Magic is illegal in all of Pangea and used in public will make you a wanted man"
---------Explanation End---------
"Farewell, Angela. And be cautious of the followers of the order."
With that the mist as well as Zeus voice disappeared and the hut is back to normal.
On my left I can now see my mother breathing again.
The next day, when i woke up, I started a new training regim.
Now that I got Magic Manipulation and Control. I'am building simple Mana Structures ... Orbs and let them float above my palm to raise my control, manipulation and capacity as long as I have enough Mana after that I'am training my body, with walking/running, sit-ups and push-ups.
With time my magic regim grew in complexity from one to multiple orbs and from orbs over cubes to complex structures, the physical regim got bruising myself for tenacity as addition, but everything else was kept more or less the same.
With those boring exercises and the occasional talk with my mother "Ney'Isha" two years passed.

Today I am really excited tomorrow I will get my first labor assigned. Well as excited as you can get knowing you get worked to the bone, while doing some menial job. But it's still better then one more day in this stupid hut
I was woken up, with a feet kicked into my ribs by a stupid orc.
"Wake up! "
I groaned and got on my legs.
"I am Zlakh,
Follow me"
I was once again taken to the great hall with the altar.
The Hall is about 40 meter long and 10 meter wide. At the end of the hall on the stage next to the altar stands the shaman. I stand in front of the stage next to Trokh,Karth,Orlsh,Mesh and Sila. Today we'll get our first occupation or training.
"I am Strikh, the Shaman.
I am the spiritual leader of the Thrzug Clan, so you better pay your respect to me. Hmph... "
The other children expose their throat to Strikh, thus submiting to his dominance.
I should also comply, but I can't bear it. Zlaks grabs my chin and forces me to expose my throat.
I still look at Strikh with defiance.
"Hmph, the little kitten wants to show her claws",Strikh chuckles.
"Trokh,Karth you will be assigned as trainees to the garnison."
Trokh and Karth are grinning widely, but remain silent.
"Orlsh you get an apprenticeship under Srizth the espionage master."
"Mash you'll be alocated to the Smithy."
"Sila you will go to the wolf trainers."
"And you my dear Angela. What will I do about you. Normally I'd send you to the kitchen, but first I'll pull your claws.
You will work for me for now",Strikh grins at me, while showcasing his teeth.
