Reinlas is in the area he fought Keireen last, he can see where he lost his arm, leg and eye. He looks around remembering everything he can as he begins scanning the area for the remaining pieces of Kylorn.

"Thanks Reinlas, I had almost started to think you had forgot about the final pieces of me due to everything going on" Kylorn says

"Kylorn I'll remember dont you worry. Being less than whole causes you pain and discomfort, I want to help with that" Reinlas says

Kylorn flies out of his sheath floating next to Reinlas.

"Again thanks" Kylorn says

Both keep searching and after a while find a few of Kylorns shards.

"Alright that seems to be most of them but one is missing" Kylorn says

"Maybe a poison claw came and took it, they did like your metal before you were forged after all" Reinlas says

"Maybe" Kylorn says

Reinlas scans for poison claw tracks and finds some.

"Well there have been poison claws here" Reinlas says

They begin to follow the tracks until Reinlas senses an arrow coming his way and quickly puts a barrier up. Kylorn gets grabbed by Reinlas as Keireen archers reveal themselves in the trees. Reinlas is still not completely used to his metal limbs but pushes himself and runs forward barrier still up as he throws fire towards the archers. The archers quickly get out of the trees and soem of them attack back with their own magics as others draw their blades, Reinlas engages the ones with blades first. The soldiers attack him with their blades Reinlas quickly blocks the blades with his metal arm as Kylorn is dropped, Kylorn flies up into the neck of one soldier and in immediate confusion by the other soldiers reinals grabs them by the head and slams them into the ground doing more damage to the one he grabbed with his metal arm.

"Quick and precise ambush, though i did need a proper fight to test these new limbs, so thank you" Reinlas says but an arrow quickly comes from his right side which kylorn blocks

"Should probably keep scanning a little more in combat than you used to" Kylorn says

"Point made" Reinlas says as he grabs him and speeds forward throwing more fire at the archers as he slices through the nearest one

After a little more fighting the enemy soldiers get finished off, Reinlas then scans them.

"Had a feeling one of them possessed different magic they werent using" Reinlas says as he takes a shard of metal from one of them

"My final piece" Kylorn says

"Indeed" Reinlas says

Reinlas teleports the bodies away to be buried in a rightful place and teleports that are alive to be healed then imprisoned in whatever prison is appropriate before teleporting back to Reinholm castle. Reinlas heads to the forge and looks at Kylorn.

"You'll be fixed in no time" Reinlas says as he takes all of the magic within Kylorn and begins to reforge him with his shards again and after a few hours Kylorn is back to his normal self after Reinlas returns his magic

"Ahh, no more pain, this is good." Kylorn says

"Glad to hear it" Reinlas says as he walks out of the forge room

Farenhale walks over to Reinlas.

"Reinlas" Farenhale says causing Reinlas to look at him

"Hello Farenhale, it is still very odd to see you" Reinlas says

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

"Understandably so" Farenhale says

"Do you need something?" Reinlas asks

"Now that the situation with the plague Keireen made has been neutralised, I am wondering about these shadows you and your children seem to be able to use" Farenhale asks

"Not just us, you can use them too its a first generation magic locked to a bloodline. Years ago you had said that the increase in magic I and now my children can use through the changing of our eye colour could unlock different magics. Through my own investigations over the years which truth be told took longer than you ever would have. It revealed that due to me and you being first generation the magic tried to balance out giving us two bloodline magics, the shadows and the increase in magic. One is needed for the other though as the shadows can be used without the increase in magic but will drain you much faster" Reinlas says

"Interesting" Farenhale says

"indeed. Just need to control your emotions when using the shadows though. The shadows themselves are filled with anger and feed off of your own anger" Reinlas says

"Good to know Reinlas" Farenhale says

"I need to go see Laraka, if you need to know more about these things I suggest asking Liara and Farenisle, not only because they can use the shadows pretty well but because you do need to talk to them more" Reinlas says

"Alright" Farenhale says as Reinlas begins to walk away

Farenhale walks to the royal training area where he finds Liara and Farenisle fighting against each other, they start out using their main magics ice and lightning but begin to use shadows after a little while.

"I can feel the shadows being manipulated but I dont know how to properly do it myself" Farenhale thinks to himself

Farenisle makes multiple shadow creatures rise up out of the ground as Liara makes her own but charged with a little lightning, as these shadow creatures clash the lightning charged ones attack with the lightning in them and some explode destroying multiple of Farenisles.

"Good move Liara!" Farenisle shouts

"Thanks!" Liara shouts as she falls into thew shadows and quickly rises out behind Farenisle and kicks him away

They train for a little longer before stopping and walking over to Farenhale.

"Uncle Farenhale, come to train?" Liara asks

"Sort of, I came to ask you two to help me learn how to use the shadows" Farenhale says

"We'd be happy to help" Farenisle says

"Thank you both" Farenhale says

"If you had spoken to father about them already he'll have told you about the fact the shadows feed on their users emotions being enraged themselves it makes sense. First off id suggest changing your eyes to red, as the shadows come they'll turn black and it will be a good bit of warning for us" Farenisle says

"Warning?" Farenhale asks as he turns his eyes red

"Upon first using the shadows, they do take over and being they are pure rage, they do tend to attack things in sight" Liara says

"Oh, good to have warning then" Farenisle says

"So first you'll need to close your eyes, feel any anger you have for whatever reason, feel it channelling through you feel the small quakes it makes in your soul focus on the quakes, feel the increase in magic continue and then feel the quakes become stronger" Farenisle says

Farenhale closes his eyes and does as Farenisle says.

"I do not hold much anger personally, there are things i am angry about sure out not much" Farenhale says

"Then look at the part of your soul thats made up with Syremais soul, the Tykema have a dragons rage, focus there" Liara says

Farenhale does so and after a little while he begins to feel the quakes begin to erupt.

"I more than feel that" Farenhale says as his eyes turn black, farenhale opens his eyes

"They're black" Farenisle says

"Good. What next?" Farenhale says

"Feel the shadows around you, feel the space they inhabit, feel their aversion to light you'll likely feel it within your own soul first, the shadows will be held within an area of your soul away from your first magic and magics that also give off light including of course lightning" Farenisle says

Farenhale feels the darkness in hsi soul and feels it around them, Farenhale out of curiosity focuses on the shadows in hsi soul feeling the magic channel into them he doesnt realise as his hands are covered in shadows.

"Its happening, liara lets get back and let him continue" Farenisle says

Liara nods and they teleport to te other end of the training area and look at farenhale as the shadows grow up his arms, legs until hes completely covered in shadows at which point he looks directly at Liara and farenisle, compeltely enraged he charges at them making a wave of shadows with creatures in them. Liara and Farenisle quickly turn their eyes black and protect themselves by controlling what they can as Liara charges a strong bolt of lightning.

"ill make a path, you hit him" Farenisle says

"Alright" Liara says

Farenisle uses hsi control of the shadows to make a path through the wave as Liara with ehr own knowledge of the shadows charges her lightning bolt with as much power as it can hold and throws it at Farenhale shocking him till hes unconcious making him yell in pain before losing consciousness. The shadows get calmed down by Liara and farenisle as they teleport back over to farenhale and wake him.

"That was, ive never felt such rage" Farenhale says

"You'll feel it every time though next time you should remain in control, only losing it if you get lsot in your own emotions" Liara says

"Thank you both, this has been very helpful" Farenhale says

"No problem uncle farenhale" Liara and farenisle say before they teleport away

Farenhale goes to his potion room and begins to write what he has found out as soldiers continue to fight at the border, waiting for the orders about pushing forward...
