THE NOBLES OF NEWLAND (BLOODLINER AND THE TALES OF THE NEW SAGA BOOK 1)

Chapter 17: Renan

"Sundwarf."

At the same time.

Sadeva's House.

Celebecia, The Republic.

RENAN IS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED WHEN NAVISA SUDDENLY INVITES HIM TO START THEIR TRAINING PLAN. Jack pretended to agree that it was a brilliant decision. But after that he was passively aggressive because he and Renan did not go around the house looking for secrets.

"Renan?" She asked if her brother was ready or not, both of her hands were in both temples of Renan's eyes.

"Yes." Renan was clearly lying. He was nervous. He remembered the words of one of his friends.

If you need to do something so important, but you don't find confident. Then you can just lie to yourself, but do it anyway. The voice of Osuka Princess spoke in Renan's head in King family's cavalier tone. You understand?

"What exactly are you going to do?" Renan asked his brother.

"Massage your head." Jack the one who answered. "Of course, help you to do Soulspeak!" His eyes did a double spin.

Navisa had explained everything to Renan just a moment ago. About Soulman, Soulspeak, and Tame—the process of taming Soulter, as well as Ancient Tech. Tame is precisely more like the Bloodliner process when they finally fused with their Divine Consciousness.

"Wait a minute." Renan looked for an excuse, "You haven't explained the kind of Soulter." Renan recalled the moment of his conversation with Navisa when he asked if Soulter actually had a name or not. Instead of lying to himself, Renan chose to delay time.

Navisa pulled back both of her hands. "Good question." With a smile she answered Renan's question. "Listen, I'll explain it in a short way." It is said. "Soulter is divided into two. First, Nortier, who was directly attached to you when you did Tame, you just fused together, and the control of the ability was completely on you. Second, Egotier, who has a name." She continued. "This one, Renan, is rarely found because it tends to be dangerous."

"Oh my gosh, why don't you make it more complicated. Let's cool it little bit." Jack chose to sleep in the grass not far from Renan. "Either you're too smart to explain or the explanation is too short." Jack yawned. Because of the last event when Renan almost scorched the Pendopo, Navisa decided it would be better for them to practice in the yard with gravel.

"What happens if they have a name?"

"Given a name, more precisely." Navisa corrected, "Some cases that have happened, when you name your Soulter, they will have their own personality, and can mess with your mind, also act against your will. Controlling you. Take over your body."

"Like... Multiple personalities?"

"Exactly." Navisa continued, "Almost everyone diagnosed with a Multiple Personality Disorder proved to be actually a Bloodliner that was not detected before." Her light brown hair had been tied back as she continued. "There's no need to talk about that. But the concept is the same, like alter ego."

Renan nodded. "I think I got it."

"The difference is, in your case, your ability manifest into an element. You're a Warlock, remember? A Fire Elementalist. Plus, with your pure dominant divine blood, I'm afraid if..." Navisa paused for a moment. "Your soulter can also has its on shape in reality, not only as an element." She explained again with an expression like trying to remember a book she had read. "According to Bataveron legend, especially the stories of generations in my family. The last Sunan, my grandfather, once explained the rumors about Banaspati, the fire spirit that had burned the scorched village several times. What I concluded, is the Soulter of Bloodliner of House Sadeva like you. Your strength focuses on anger and destruction. Almost all of Sunan, the dominant Bloodliners of Garuda, are Warlocks."
