The High Priests Son (Aphmau MCD OC Insert)

Chapter 3 | Deaths Door

--------------------

I didn't really know anything about the 'Irene Dimension' because I really focused on my training. But after my father mentioned the task he ordered me to conquer I decided to do research. Not many of our libraries'' books have information, if they did they were burned most likely. The only people who knew of it were out of the kingdom. But my father had no plans in leaving anytime soon since the disappearance of my uncle. Garroth.

Uncle Garroth was, from what I've heard, supposed to be engaged to the Lord of Scaleswind daughter, Nicole Von Ronsenberg, I don't remember if it was to bring peace to the quarreling cities or to gain more power. Either way, it was forced, I could see why Uncle Garroth ran away. Of course no one knows I was the one to help him escape and no one will. 

Anyways, after he disappeared my father grew angry. He had began a search for him, but because we left no trace behind there was no way we could find him as soon as we hoped for. Ether way, Nicole disappeared around the same time as well. She hadn't been seen for a while and now the king was blaming O'khasis for her disappearance. Which is absurd, we have no use for her other than marriage and without Uncle Garroth. That can't happen.

But back to the topic of the Irene Dimension. My father says I'm a very special person, he says I can do things not even a witch or magiks user could do. I can do it without cost, normally it would cost your soul to do what I can do. At least, that's what him and the Jury of Nine think. Ivy says that I'm so important that I should stop training. But she just says that so I don't beat her for the fifth time.

I was in my usual spot, trying to concentrate. My father and Katelyn standing at the edge of my even bigger circle, watching to see if I can do it. I concentrate real hard, thinking of what the realm might look like. I could feel a little flash, where I once stood now was empty. I now lay next to a tree far from my training grounds, I laid upwards and checked myself out to see if I was ok. I noticed some purple-black splotches on my arm starting to form. It didn't hurt there so I just covered it for the time being. I got up, walking back to where Katelyn and father awaited. Father shook his head, clearly disappointed I didn't exceed his expectations. I just looked down, I hated disappointing him. It was the worst feel ever, worse than disappointing my mother. But then again I don't remember if I ever disappointed her.

After failing miserably, I ventured to my home. The guy, Riley, still occupied my home. He was quite nice, and good looking. I danced for a while in my room. I took dance lessons but had to stop because of a new task at hand. I finished and was startled by sudden clapping. I turned to see in the door frame the boy blue himself,

"You're quite good for a knight. " I could feel pink dust its way onto my cheeks,

"Oh, thank you. I'm not that good though. " He smiled to himself,

"Got a name dancer. " I looked down, I was never really asked my name. I was usually called 'Priests son' by others other than my family and the Jury of Nine members,

"I-it's Ducky! " He thought for a moment before smiling and nodding, as if he was the one to decide it and like it,

"What of yours? "

"Me? My name is Riley. " I smiled, it was a lovely name. We ended up talking till midnight, he's apparently a traveling trader that ended up being hired for O'khasis. He had no family leaving him an orphan. I looked at my blade in order to avoid the reference, hoping the readers would get it. I told him of me being the Priests guard. But I had some time before officially becoming full time guard. I never mentioned to him me being his son though, he would probably start referring to me as 'Priests son' and I didn't want that.  

The sun was beginning to rise when I arrived home. My father was asleep, I snuck past his room and changed clothes. I made my way to the arena where Ivy await, I had just stepped into the hard dirt ground when I smelled something off, a potion had been dropped. I sniffed and felt heavy, Ivy turned her attention to me. A wide grin on her face,
