Chapter 103 - Robe please

"Why is Mogranius n.a.k.e.d?"

Pointed out Woldemir as he walked in on the scene with Stefan after he managed to paddle his way out of the Sea Waters.

"I came up here riding a Demonic Swordfish and the first question you are going to ask is about my clothes?"

"Well he means that this sight is more disturbing than the Demonic Swordfish!"

Added Stefan in a bit of sarcasm.

"What do you mean? I'm fitter than both of you."

Which was a bit true. Exploring has given Mogranius legs like steel and prevented him from growing over weight. He would look like a 35 year old if it wasn't for his long beard.

"Yes it isn't about the muscles. I mean your n.a.k.e.d. Here, put on your robe."

Said Woldemir as he kindly offered Mogranius the robe he left on the beach before entering the Sea Waters to begin with. Even though they are already close friends, manners are everything for Woldemir so he saw no reason to drop a slight playful offense. Even under the toughest situation he would think of ways to express what he is feeling without cursing.

"Alright alright that sounds reasonable. None of you can handle such beauty anyway."

"Now seeing that you are alive and well, where in the name of hell were you and how did you tame a huge Swordfish?"

Asked Eric. His language has rather changed lately. But he has reasons behind it this time. How else would he express this situation?

"I doubt that i told any of you about my father?!"

"No I don't think so!"

Said Commander Alia.

"I barely know anything about you."

Added Woldemir.

"You had a father?"

Asked Eric.

"Even if we did, he would be dead by now!"

Pointed out Stefan.

"Anyway. He consumed demon meat, beat 3 Inner Demons and can see through any animal's eyes! Also, he is 300 years old."

"Next time take me to your adventures. They seem insane. I love it!"

Said Eric in a happy tone. A tone he didn't have for over a month now and possibly longer before that.

Everyone noticed Eric's recent mood and feelings but they chose not to say anything. He has already enough burden upon his soul. An argument could possibly break him more.

"Oh you would love it. I fought Demons, a Whale who had feet and saw the Source of Fire!"

As he finished that sentence, everyone looked at him as if he went insane. Who was to blame them? Everything Mogranius is saying sounds like something impossible, crazy and made up.

"You gotta be kidding!"

Said Stefan.

"Even that Demon we met in the forest doesn't know where the sources are but somehow you found the Source of Fire?"

Asked Woldemir in both shock and confusion. He is having it hard to catch up. Which says a lot because he is a Grand Master(level 6) in swordsmanship where perception and agility is key.

"I will tell all of you everything later. I could "write a book" out of this entire adventure I had but first I need to talk to King Michael. What I've told you so far is nothing compared to what all of you are about to hear a bit later."

"Oh. King Michael. Well this is a bit embarrassing to tell. I left him on a boat once i saw you riding the Swordfish!"

Said Eric and got a bit red when he saw how Commander Alia is looking at him. Commander Alia gives that motherly comfort if not more to him.

"Well go get him!"

Yelled Mogranius in a laughing manner.

"Can I ride the Swordfish there?"

"You could. If she was here!"

"It's a She?"

Yelled Stefan in shock!

"She is large."

Alright i'll go get King Michael. He should of made his way here for at least 80 yards already. He is a man, he can paddle."

Fire broke out of Eric's feet and he elevated from the ground in a split second after he finished the sentence. He flew a lot ever since his last visit in Crutal Kingdom. What he struggled to even start back then, is lifting him across the blue skies now. Practice makes Progress.

As Eric flew away, Mogranius turned to Woldemir and said

"The boy is struggling with the Inner Demon of rage. If he doesn't fight it now, he will end up Like Xakro, insane with power."

"I have noticed it but what can we do about it? He has my eternal support to his journey but i don't know what more to do. If I knew, I would gladly do it."

"You have been through a lot in your life Woldemir. If anyone knows how to be patient, it is you."

Added Stefan in the conversation to make a point. He is very perceptive and saw rather well where Mogranius was going with this conversation.

"But the Inner Demon of Fire Controlling is connected with rage, not patience. But I am very willing to help if you are certain that i can actually help somehow. "

Said Woldemir. Like he was over protective in the very beginning of this whole story, he still aims to help, provide and protect now even though he did it at a slower pace now considering that Eric is more than capable to protect himself. But even though he is capable, he is just a kid. He is 15 years old. He needs guidance.

"You can. Very much. You are a powerful man. You could at least behead tens before you ran away from that burned down house. But you chose to run. You chose to run in aims to save your kid. To save Eric."

Explained Mogranius reminding Woldemir of his qualities.

"If anyone knows rage control, it is you. You kept your rage under control even though you could burst in anger and behead one ill.u.s.tratio after the other."

Added Stefan. He has known Woldemir for 15 years. When Woldemir was travelling with burned dirty clothes and baby Eric on his arms, passing by the farm house he was noticed by Stefan who no doubt offered help right away and was more than capable to figure out what happened before even asking anything.

The farmhouse was just a small cabin where Stefan came to relax his nerves once in a while, he gave it to Woldemir and helped them financially for 15 years as much as he could.

"You need to teach your son to control his rage. Like the levels of Magic, there are levels of Rage. Him advancing to level four in Fire Controlling, instantly gave him a level 4 Inner Demon of rage to fight. If that makes sense. If that Inner Demon reaches level 6, there is no going back."
