20 Destiny begins I

Having heard Don's plan, the elves were visibly startled.

"Relax, the Dragon King wanted us to have that castle so that's what we are going to do," said Knight after pondering for a moment.

"Are you sure you want to go there?"Uncle Dior hesitated before asking, he was shivering inside because he knew about the power Dragon King possessed if he hid his castle it won't be a simple task to find it.

Don didn't mind Uncle Dior's hesitation, he never knew much about this Dragon King and he wanted a safe base to operate without fearing about the safety of the elves for a time.

"Yes I'm sure and we are going tomorrow morning at the first light"

Uncle Dior knew he can't change Don's mind so he just sighed heavily and grabbed the map from Amaryll and studied it for a moment

"Alright if we go there by walking it'll take almost a whole day to reach"

Uncle Dior said as he looked Don for confirmation but what he received was a huge boulder to the heart.

"Ah no no no no" Uncle Dior almost shouted and shook his head vigorously.

The Elf sibling was unable to see why Uncle Dior was acting this way, they were watching Don and Uncle Dior with confused faces as for Knight, he already had an idea regarding Uncle Dior's behavior,

Seeing the clever and fancy pants Uncle Dior acting like this Knight curled up a smile,

"Oh don't be a baby flying is not that bad"

At that moment Uncle Dior almost coughed up blood when he heard Knight,

He experienced the torture of flying with Don, he was fast almost too fast as Uncle Dior threw up a couple of times on the way to the camp from the slave city.

Uncle Dior was still a mid-apprentice-level magi so he couldn't fly even if he used magical brooms and flying on the broom was not the same as flying without the support of anything.

He remembers vividly the moment Don took off at the slave city carrying the half-elf girl with him, his heart almost jumped out, he was a calm man but the flying made him scream and at like a child who saw a giant snake on his bed,

He promised himself that he never ever act the way he did but now the same scenario going to happen and now this arrogant lion telling him that the flying is not bad, it made him angry and shiver in terror at the same time

"Don I don't like flying so you should get that thought out of your mind if you want me to tag along "

"No flying is the best way we don't know how many black panthers we face this time"

Don said in a firm tone, he felt that the guards of Minister Bryan will soon start the full investigation about the murder so he needs a safe and secure place to lie low and increase his strength.

"Yes you and Don needs to go and check out that place immediately we don't need someone coming knocking down here"

Knight agreed with Don as he always does.

"I thought killing Minister Bryan would end all the trouble" Amaryll couldn't help but ask when she heard Knight.

Knight sighed again, Amaryll was a too innocent and naive girl but Knight knew there is no place for innocence in this world or in Divine Continent.

Knight wanted to work hard towards Don's goal every time he saw Amaryll,

A kingdom for an innocent girl like her to live without fear without being discriminated against.

"You are too naive Amaryll even if the city law doesn't conduct an investigation the empire would, at that time we don't want to be here"

"Bu...but how could they find us? Don did you leave any witnesses"

"No the only witness to the kill was the girl I brought"

"Don what about those personal guards? can they find it's you that killed Bryan?" Uncle Dior questioned Don, he wanted to ask this on the way to camp but he was busy screaming and throwing up.

Everyone looked baffled when they heard about the personal guards as they stared at Don for an answer but the one answered them was Knight

"Why are you looking at him like that? There is no perfect crime"

"So are you saying they will find us?"

"Might"

Amaryll didn't say anything as she pondered about something god knows what in her mind.

"We go there tomorrow check the place out if we find the castle we come and bring you all there" Don explained the plan to the group.

"But what if you don't find it?" Arwen asked with a worried face.

"Then we find another place to settle"

"No, we don't" Amaryll suddenly interrupted Don

"Why do we have to run? Yes, you saved us and I'm grateful for that but it's you wanted to kill Minister Bryan. It's you brought that witness girl here so WHY DO WE HAVE TO RUN WITH YOU?"

The group was shocked to see Amaryll's behavior, they knew why Don killed Minister Bryan it's for their good but now Amaryll is questioning him, Knight knew her paranoia and fear turned into angry, she didn't know the reason behind Bryan's murder so from her perspective Don was on the wrong

so he didn't mind the elf talking like that, if not she would be dead by now.

"AMARYLL!!" Arwen gritted his teeth in anger as Amaryll immediately closed her mouth when she heard Arwen voice, she turned pale because she never saw her brother being angry at her

"Amaryll we need to talk" Uncle Dior quickly stepped forward and grabbed Amaryll's elbow

"Excuse us for a moment Don" as he said Uncle Dior brought Amaryll away with Arwen, to tell the truth about Minister Bryan's killing.

"Don't mind her Don she's just afraid of everything"

"Yes I know but we should have told her about the mysterious mage"

Knight didn't disagree with him he just nodded his head

"Yes this girl needs to know about the reality of the world, she is too innocent and naive the sooner she learns about the world the better"

Don nodded his head lightly and looked around the camp like he was searching for someone,

"Knight where is Elrond?"

Knight let out a small smile

"That boy is quite something after you went to slave city he came to me and asked me to train him"

"What?" Don was a little surprised.

"I couldn't simply reject him he was so adamant so I just gave him the first page of the Asura Archer book"

"Asura Archer huh? Good if he worked hard he can be a deadly archer with that book but..." Don pondered about something in his mind as Knight said

"He is a hard-working kid just like when we were children" as he said Don and Knight started to recall their childhood a bit and Knight smiled

"And don't worry we can do something about the battle energy when he reaches the 4th volume of the book"

"I think we might have something," Don said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's easier to show" as he said Don opened the telepathic connection between him and Knight to show what he saw in the Bryan manner. Knight could see what Don saw when Don allowed him to enter his mind telepathically and Don could see what Knight saw if he allowed Don to enter his mind.

(I hope my readers won't get confused bcz of my bad writing)

When Knight was in Don's mind he felt everything Don felt, he was seeing everything as Don.

After a moment Knight's eyes opened wide when he saw the magic light merged with Don as soon Don broke the connection and they came back to reality.

"So the magic in that spell merged with your battle energy it's a hell of a thing Don"

"Yes, so there has to be a way to replace battle energy with magic and magic with battle energy right?" Don asked Knight who was still in amazement.

"Ah yes if not how could that magic merge with your battle energy, if we can find someone with knowledge about the magic we trust we can use many things in this storage ring" Knight raised his front leg and looked at the ring.

"What about the girl you brought you can control using battle energy just like magic?"

"I don't know about using magic but yeah I can control her with my battle energy it's like having another hand"

"Enough of me how do you feel reaching the Moon realm?" Don asked Knight.

"HaHaHa, I thought you forgot about it... I am feeling pretty great actually I can't wait to face some magis here" as he said Knight ruffled his white mane in a kingly manner and laughed.

"Soon you will" Don declared as he thought about the five personal guards of Minister Bryan, his face showed a calm expression but his eyes betrayed him, they had pure killing intent in them.

"I am waiting..." Knight's mouth curved up and made an evil smile but after a moment he turned to his usual self and stared at Amaryll's hut

"The half-elf girl what are you gonna do about her?"

Don sighed.

"She has to come with me on this trip, the only connection between me and Bryan is her so leaving her might bring some problems"

"What if they still find you using her even after we settled in the castle"

"I don't think so seeing Arwen and Uncle Dior's reaction I bet the Dragon King was a big shot in the magic world so how could his castle be found so easily by mere great masters?"

"Hmm, it makes sense... Anyway we must find this castle before anyone else does but what are we going to do after we find the castle, Don? "

"We are going to train an Army"

Simple words but it showed Don's confidence arrogance and dominance.

At this moment the war for the continent is begun.
