The Crown's Mundane

She said...., "I guess I have a lot to do before my next evaluation".

"Shall we begin?"...he asked.

"No I still have questions, you promised to answer all of my questions"...

"Well considering the time, and how much it would take to teach you, I think we can put questions aside for now and get to training".

"No, at least this particular question"...she insisted.

"The conversation we just had lasted for more than thirty minutes, it was only but only one question, are you sure?"...He asked.

"Yes,"... she nodded.

"Okay proceed".

She asked, "How do you know alvah?, and how much do you know about him"...

"Your question requires quite an extensive answer, he sighed. We wouldn't be learning today then".

"Your question is quite impulsive, but like other times, you will tell this to no one, especially everybody".

She laughed, "especially everybody, no one is excluded"...she asked

"Yes, and in particular alvah".

"Sit down"...he said. They both sat on the grass,

She said to him, "You all hide things from alvah like he's gonna be angry when he finds out, but he is understanding, instead he prefers to know"

"What do you mean?,"...he asked.

"Alvah knows that Empyreal Deivigan is his father".

"What?...he shouted. "He wasn't to supposed to know".

"But nothing's changed since I told him, he's okay with it. Infact he chose to study on the history of his father".

Ghazan was shocked.

"He's even found the dáinn's legacy".

"What?...."he shouted.

"Only his dad can control the immense power from the sword".

"Don't worry, he is fine"... she said.

"He is not fine, Ghazan said. His father was mad enough to create and use that weapon. There are furtive skills in that weapon".

"You, do you have the katana"...he asked.

"Yes"...she replied.

"Yours is safe since you are not of fire".

"If it's furtive, how do you know about it"... she asked.

"Ha, if I have a mad brother, surely I'll be mad as well, we fight alongside each other, till he left".

"Brother, do you mean, what?...." she shouted.

He smiled, "I don't want my students brain to collapse, I'll come again if you can't pick up".

"But how?...", she asked confused

"You are air and he is fire, you were created directly by the Lords".

"I sure was created but put in his family.

Deivigan Vimal, I am his brother. We're of the same age"

"Oh my goodness, alvah sure is blessed, having two Empyreals of the first Chamber to be your father and uncle, he too is mad".

Ghazan laughed.

She asked, "Do you have a family?...."

"Not everyone is given a mate, I wasn't because my mission was to take care of Deivigan, but I failed

The thing I mentioned about love and trust, really led me off guard".

"I really loved my brother, even till he met Katya, before he left his son to be an Empyreal along with me.

When she died, he handed over his son to the deepleens. Since then he knows nothing about his son except his name".

"But why couldn't you guys save her"...she asked thoughtfully.

"Bearing a baby boy like alvah, like you said "he too is mad". His massive energy, power, skills, weapon, speed, healing, being the soul of celestial. it's enough to kill her giving birth to greatness"

"You are so lucky to have him as yours Zillah". He hit her head.

They laughed together.

Zillah said "but alvah, he isn't making use of his father's skills, rather he learnt from the infernals library".

"That's still a good thing, since he will eventually come back here, it's to Elysian's advantage".

"Yes"....she nodded.

"So you're my in-law...."she said.

"Of course"...he replied.

"You are quite safe in alvah's arm, the thing is that, we Vimal's, we never break a promise not to talk of a vow. Deivigan promised to take care, love and protect Katya, but she died. It wasn't his fault, he had kept his promise up until that day.

And you told me alvah promised to take care of you, the exact promise his father gave to his mother, he would never break it.

Although, alvah wouldn't get to have a teacher like you have me"

"Why?...," she asked.

"With everything I've mentioned about him, who do you think would be able to teach him if not his father, and he is not here.

His advantage is that he learns things quite faster. He isn't good in fighting without weapon or power, it he gets into a physical fight, although he'll win but it's part of his weakness".

"Weakness"...she repeated.

"Their weakness is only but a few, but as it's small, it's quite dangerous too.

Listen carefully, hindrance, repulsion and this physical fight, I think these three especially, are dangerous to him.

Like I said, he has no teacher, and no one in Elysian possesses fire element, maybe if alvah proves that fire element isn't an evil power, the next generation would bear it too, starting with your children.

You must take precautions for him since he is protecting you.

If one day he finds a good teacher it would be very beneficial, not just for the physical confrontation, but for his powers too".

"Does, Empyreal Deivigan possess red eyes?".... she asked.

"Oh, that's when he is angry. Alvah has it too, probably the others"....

"Does Alvah have it to?"...ha asked. "Yes".

"Like father like son".

"About the weapon, when he grows up it would be more intense, even his powers they will all enhance.

Advice him not to use the weapon at all times, on top of that he's an infernal.

I never expected him to fall out like his father".

"It's a good thing your mission is to bring him back, mine was to prevent him, but I failed, I hope my student would learn from my mistake"....he touches her head.

She smiled, "mistakes can't be made twice unless you didn't learn from the previous one".

"Yes, my training has already started"... he smiled at her.

Even though to increase a bar to contain a percent of the power is impossible, and you don't have enough energy, I have to help you, he thought to himself.

I'm starting to think twice if I should really take back the promise, should I?...he asked himself.

"Do you know the benefit of my katana"... she asked breaking his thoughts.

"Sure he replied, it is not as dangerous and crucial as dáinn's legacy, it has certain limits, but it's enough to protect you".

"But hasn't alvah offered to give you his power"... he asked.

"He did, but I rejected it".

"Why?....

You know Katya too accepted the power, how do you think she was able to use the katana".

"It belongs to family, and I was already with the air element. It's okay if he takes fire with Empyreal Deivigan, I'll take air as you".

"Besides, Zillah, not because you're in Elysian you would be off guard, evil things can still still happen here, but be vigilant, be surrogates to one another"....he advised.

"When I'm done with my training with you, and you take your gift, at least can you be visiting"... she asked him.

"Zillah"... he said her name.

"Since we've started, I've made promises and I'll keep them. I haven't asked of anything from you, can you do me this favour and be visiting, not oftenly but sometimes.

At least to keep me company, advice me, talk and relax".

"You know I'm dead, and I was at rest before I was sent to you".

She was scared he would refuse.

"But..," Her heart was beating loudly in her chest, it could be heard.

"I Ghazan Empyreal Of Air, will not only be your teacher, but as a future in-law, I will also be your guardian angel".

She rushed to him giving him a tight hug.

"it's okay, Zillah stop crying.

It was already late afternoon.
