In that evening, 2 moon was brightening the darkness night.

In a certain room of the house of Azert.

Heiner and Ulrich, sat in the sofa and talking infront of each other.

“Thank you, Ulrich. For giving your time to teach my son and fulfilling my responsibility as a father. i apologize for passing my responsibility to you” he said respectfully with embarrassed face.

“No need to apologize at me, it’s my own decision to teach my grandson, and I heard to Eliza that the other clans, is hindering and obstructing the clan because you are recently in the throne and lacked of experience. They’re probing your attitude and ruling. I know how pressured you are and you had a heavy responsibility to protect the interest of the clan” Ulrich said.

When Heiner heard Ulrich said, his eyes is full of sadness and felt a deep hatred inside because his father passed away 3 years ago to unknown disease and everyone was shocked to the news of passing of the late lord of Azert clan. Even the people cannot believe because of how healthy the lord when they saw him when he was alive. Heiner was suspicious for the death of his father and began to investigate but they didn’t find anything unusual. Over the time most people accepted the concluded reason of the death his father but Heiner didn’t believe. He knew from his instinct that someone killed his father. After his father death, he became the lord of the Azert clan because he is the only son of his father while the other 3 of his siblings is all woman and because the rules of the clan, only a man can sat to the throne and rule the clan. Mostly the others clans and neighboring kingdoms only man is the one ruling and held the power.

Ulrich noticed the facial of Heiner and understand why.

“I’m sorry, I slip my words” Ulrich feel sympathy to him and embarrassed to his careless mouth.

“No, it’s okay Ulrich you don’t need to be sorry and thank you for your understanding, it’s embarrassing but I will rely to you Ulrich, to look after my son and your grandson before he become 7 years old” Heiner looked embarrassed for relying to his father-in-law in taking care of his son teaching and growth.

“No need to worry, I’m also interested if my grandson can open his ‘Aura root’ like us. You know that only one of hundred persons can open their aura root so it will be good to his future if he had. It will be enjoyable to teach him how to use and control his ‘Aura Force’. I’m also curious how high his talent, if he had a talent like you or his mother” Ulrich was anticipating for his grandson and his interest also piqued if Theo can open his aura root and what talent he will inherent between his father or mother.

“Ulrich, I need your help to open his aura root before he become 7 years old but it was a low chance that he can open it, I will not gamble that little bit of chance for the future of my child. I will rely to you Ulrich to open his aura root and make the chances higher a bit and please Ulrich just don’t give a rough method to him because he is only a 2 years old toddler” Heiner was resolute to rely Ulrich and make the chances high a bit but he also worried for the training method of Ulrich that he will train to Theo.

“Hey what you think of me?! I look like this but my training methods are gentle than what you think. It also made the chance a bit high. By using my gentle training method, he can open his Aura root and you cannot find like me that easily. you can only count 2 hands that comparable to my training method in this whole Bared Island and be thankful that I’m your father-in-law” Ulrich is protecting his reputation without a shame Infront of his son-in-law.

To the normal people who don’t have access to the information of the upper-society, his reputation is known for a good scholar that have a deep knowledge but Heiner knew how his father-in-law training methods is known for being heinous in upper society of the kingdom and through surrounding kingdom but everyone in upper-society cannot deny how effective his training method and how high the bit of chances that the child can open his aura root, because of that many children in this generations today that had aura root is traumatized to his training method and Ulrich himself.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

He is the one of the people in the surrounding that had a higher chance training method, so many people rely on him even though his method is heinous and his method had after-effect trauma. He is professional to his work for working in this field for countless years so they have no choice but have faith on him and let their children experience something they cannot imagine even though they felt reluctant but they have no choice because it will make only the progress of their son or their daughter hindered and their children have a high chance become a normal person after they became at the age of 7, because he/she it’s not possible to open his aura root for some reason at the age of 7 but it was not impossible because their also other method even if the child was 7 years old or higher.

Even though Ulrich method is effective, it also a risky method that have a higher chance of death for a toddler. There were already some died because of this method but their also many children that died because they cannot contain the power of aura force and the excruciating pain after using the power for the first time and an unstable power is unimaginable for the body and mind of the child. Even after that, the trauma given to a child hunt them down even they become older. It was rare to see an Aura warrior because of low chance of someone can open it.

Ulrich sighed.

“I have no choice. For a thousand years, the blood that we inherent is thinning. it’s become harder to open the Aura root of other children. Using extreme method is only make the chances higher” Ulrich look gloomy knowing he is the nightmare of the countless children and killed many children in his hand.

‘Maybe in the future even this method will not work to open Aura root of the future generations’ Ulrich thought hopeless to the future generation.

“Don’t worry father, I have faith on you that you will do your best for your grandson” Heiner said with a smile.

Ulrich was shocked when Heiner called him ‘father’, because he never called him like that before. Ulric thought I better method for his grandson.

“I had a best method that can make Theo truly became Aura Warrior but it was riskier than my training method. You knew my method is only make the chance high a bit to open the aura root but this method has been used traditionally through history even kingdom and empire use this but it was more unimaginable risky than my training method many times” Ulrich said.

“Are you talking what I’m thinking?! It’s dangerous the three clans were watching my movement and my family if they notice we use that ‘portal through small world’ they will demand heavily to our clan there also chances our clan might fallen because of excessive demand. Currently there only one portal in our Bared kingdom and it was already been used 3 times and only 2 still unused. You knew very well that it was considered national treasure. if I want to use that for my son, I need to pay heavily and approval of others clan to use that” Heiner said unsightly. The portal can only be used 5 times which is 5 persons to go through and it will vanish/disappeared after it done used. Even if they don’t use the portal, it will vanish/disappeared after 10 years.

“No, I’m not talking about that national treasure of the Ambiens kingdom. I knew it also dangerous for Theo using that, the other clan maybe use that chance to harm him. You knew there hundred portals existed in this continent, not only that one national treasure of the Ambiens kingdom. What if i say that i accidently find one when I was adventuring the whole Bared Island” Ulrich said in lower voice when he said it because it was dangerous. If someone knew the location of the portal there will be a bloodbath before someone owned it, even kingdom will start a war to take the opportunity and own the portal if they knew.

Heiner was shocked and dumbfounded to the revelation of Ulrich; he never expected that his father-in-law accidently found a portal. He closes at him and said in low voice “Are you for real?” he looked didn’t believe to his father-in-law.

“Yes, I’m telling the truth” Ulrich said. Heiner felt complicated.

“Then what is your plan for my son, father?” Heiner asked.

“This is my plan, I will still train him to maximum for him to be prepared while we traveling ang going to that portal, I planned that we should leave tomorrow morning for him to be prepared to that dangerous ‘small world” Ulrich said. Heiner looked gloomy; he knew how dangerous that place for a child.

He gritted his teeth and he held his hand tightly. “I will accept your plan Father just please make sure that he will came back alive safely. I will convince Eliza for him to agreed” Heiner said, even though he was worried he had no choice because there no chances if his son became 7 years old.

“I will do my best as I can as a grandpa of my grandchild” Ulrich said while grinning.
