Chapter Four: Reality Of Power

Vic and Autumn walked out of Lord Calebs house, holding the map in his hands,

" I can't believe he was willingly withholding everything because of fear. All this time wasted because of a coward ", Autumn angrily said as she walked ahead of him

" I had my suspicions but Igris was right after all. Ones thing for sure I can't leave you here alone anymore ", He said as he held the map In his hands. At least giving him a sign of hope.

" Yeah since you threaten him with being ripped apart, but at least you made him confess ", She said

" I guess so. But I have a feeling he's hiding more then he's saying. We won't be able to figure it out in here though. We need to cross the border as soon as possible ", he said

" And what about the storm? It seems like you've forgotten about it even though it's hitting your face. We need to let the storm pass then we can cross  ",
she walked up towards Vic trying to be the authority knowing she wasent good at it.
" Even you know it's not a good idea to go in this storm... "

Vic realized he was letting his thoughts cloud his judgement, she was just trying to look out for him. Even though she wasent doing a good job putting her foot down. He hasn't felt being cared for, it wasent in his memo. The the storm wasent letting up, and it seemed it wasent for the whole night. He slowly nodded in agreement. She grabbed his hand and ran towards her home. Knowing it's a bit far from there current location, he had no desire to run with her speed,
" Jekamichi Pack- Bolt  ",
The white haired wolf appeared but was bigger then last time. Vic jumped on his back and held out his arm while the wolf growled, " No worries, it won't do a thing ".
She grabbed his hand and hopped on. Bolt leaped forward running towards her house. She never experienced such a thing. She was never taught about it. The feeling of the wind and rain, it felt great to her. This Alpha infront of her was truly powerful. They reach her door and hurry to enter as Craze poofed away. Soaked in water, Autumn rushed to get some towels for the both of them.

" How about I make us some tea and get us some towels it'll warm us up. While I do that can you get a fire started in the fire place ", She said as she said ran towards the room

Vic nodded and and walked towards the fire place. He added some wood and and ignited a match. He tossed it to the fire pit. Walking in with her towels, she threw one to Vic.

" Hearing my father talking about ones Ore when I wasent around made me think it was a gift. I always thought it was just a fairy tale. He never showed me any of his techniques or moves only to my brother. Seeing you do it back there was my first time experiencing it ". She walked in the kitchen and poured water into the tea pot and sat it in the stove.

" I figured he didn't want to hurt you in anyway. Training to achieve ones Ore is difficult. Painful. It's something you don't want to experience unless your really up for it. I seen people go crazy trying to do it themselves ", Vic said as he rubbed his face with the towel.

" I'm guessing that's the reason, but hopefully I get to learn more ", She said as as she grabbed two cups
" But when we was at the lord Caleb's house you said your name was Viclorean Jal-Vadun, I've heard my father talked about someone with that last name ".

" Your father was probably talking about my ancestor, Jesper Jal- Vadum ", Vic said as he stared at the fire for a second
" Has your father told you about the story of Anchor Ridge? He was apart of it. Said to fend off hundreds of soldiers for his land during the Waring states. He had Quilon the Keeper of the forest with him, the two were a devastating duo ". Vic stood up and sat down at her table.

" Story of Anchor Ridge. They said that battle alone forced a pact from the surrounding states. A truly great warrior. It's amazing your your related to him ", She said as she sat the two cups down.
" Where do you think Quilon is now? I would think she passed with him but I heard she was sealed in a stone ",
