Chapter 281 Captured

Archer was running across the rooftops and as he got to the edge he cast Blink and vanished from the roof and appeared outside the castle.

When he looked behind him Thorin was not even six feet from him, he jumped out of his skin and started Blinking to get away.

But his uncle managed to keep up confusing him even more, Thorin sped up and Archer saw this as he tried to dodge but that's when felt two hands grab a hold of him.

He was flung over Thorin's shoulder like a toddler, Archer tried to cast Blink but it didn't do anything.

But that wasn't the end of it as he managed to escape Thorin and started running again. This went on for a few hours until he gave up.

Thorin grabbed him this time but he didn't try to break free he resigned himself to get stronger so he wouldn't be captured like this again.

Archer was ranting to himself and Thorin heard him. But soon he calmed down and sent a message to the girl about his uncle taking him to the capital.

They replied asking if he needed help but he reassured them, he also sent a message to Sia telling her he would come to see her soon.

As he was in his world he heard the man's laugh, he stopped struggling and listened. ''If you agree to not run again I will put you down and we can get to know each other nephew. Otherwise, you stay up there.''

He nodded so Thorin put him down, Archer brushed himself down and spoke. ''How did you catch me so quick? Considering you're only a human and I'm a dragon.''

Thorin chuckled before replying. ''I'm a Master Mage going into the Supreme Rank, will take me a few more years but I'll get there. What rank and level are you?''

''I'm level 382 and Rank High Mage.'' He said with a grin.

The man's eyes went wide and he started cackling, Archer watched him and wondered why he laughed all the time.

But he didn't bother thinking about it anymore and admired the view in front of him. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden hue over the scene.

Rolling meadows extended as far as the eye could see, their lush green carpets undulating gently in the breeze.

Wildflowers of every color imaginable dotted the landscape, creating a vibrant mosaic that danced in the wind.

The fragrance of earth and blossoms mingled in the air, a fragrant symphony that played with every gust.

In the distance, a tranquil river wound its way lazily through the fields, its surface glinting like a ribbon of liquid silver.

Towering trees lined the riverbanks, their leaves rustling softly in harmony with nature's whispers.

A graceful bridge arched across the water, an elegant connection between the land on either side.

Beyond the river, the terrain began to rise, giving way to gentle slopes that eventually transformed into majestic mountains that kissed the horizon.

Peaks draped in the mist created an air of mystery, their enchanting aura captivating the scene.

Above, the sky painted a canvas of pastel hues, shifting from warm oranges and pinks of sunset to cooler blues and purples of twilight.

As daylight waned, the first stars twinkled, and a serene calm blanketed the landscape, when he was watching the beautiful scene he heard a noise from behind him.

He looked to the side and saw Thorin taking out what looked like a magic carpet, he then looked at Archer and spoke. ''Why are you still hiding your features? What's the point?''

When he heard Thorin he shrugged and deactivated everything, his tail appeared and was swaying left and right.

While the scales took over most of his skin and his four horns appeared, Thorin nodded with a big smile as he spoke. ''That's better. Now get on.''

Archer climbed on the carpet and Thorin got on, when he did the thing started flying while keeping them comfortable.

As they were journeying to Starfall Cityhe admired the scene and lay back to watch the stars.

With his hands tucked behind his head, Archer gazed upwards, captivated by the celestial spectacle above.

Stars stretched across the inky canvas, a tapestry of twinkling lights that painted the night sky with an ethereal glow.

[Sultania City, Nagendra Kingdom's capital city]

King Khonsu Negendra sat in his study going over the year's military budget when his door was slammed open.

He looked up to see his first wife Derya walking into the room, she looked at him as she spoke. ''Khonsu a white dragon was seen fighting a wingless dragon in the north.''

When the man heard her words his eyes widened in surprise and mumbled to himself. ''So the legend was real.''

The king looked up at his wife who was smiling as she said. ''Well you were right my dear, that thing was headed for the trade city Antakya. But the white dragon stopped it and took it somewhere else.''

''How do you know all this?'' He was curious so he asked.

Derya smiled before answering. ''My brother was witness to the event as he was traveling here from Kayseri City, so I dispatched some of my spies to get information on the boy.''

He nodded before asking more questions. ''Tell me everything.''

She sat down and told him everything she and her spies knew about Archer. ''Well we know he's engaged to four princesses of the south and we also know the Avalon emperor wants their princess Leira to marry him.''

Khonsu was pleased with the information and continued to speak. ''Isn't our Halime studying in the College of Magic this year? She finally got in.''

Derya nodded with a smile before talking. ''Yasmin is overjoyed that she got in and won't stop talking about it.'''

He had a sad smile on his face as he thought of his daughter. ''It's a shame Halime has the black curse. She will forever be alone, we should try to arrange a marriage to the white dragon. But how do we go about doing it?''

She got a thinking look on her face and spoke. ''The Avalonians may send the boy to the College. He seems to be heading north and the right age to attend.''

As Derya was about to speak Yasmin and Esra walked in, they sat down as Yasmin spoke. ''Husband. Our daughter is leaving for the Collage of Magic in a couple of months, she's excited but what guards are going to be sent with her?''

Khonsu chuckled and answered his second wife and Halime's mother. ''Yas. We are sending the twins, the two of them will keep her safe. After all, they are the best of their age group, plus Hali knows them well.''

Yasmin smiled when she heard his response, that's when she asked. ''Did you hear about the white dragon?''

He nodded his head and the four of them continued talking into the night and planned for Halime's trip to the Empire.

[Starfall City, The Avalon Empire]

Emperor Osoric Avalon sat in his throne room as he was listening to reports, that's when the doors slammed open and Gerrin ran in.

The advisor made his way to Osoric and bowed before speaking. ''Your Majesty. Thorin is traveling back with the boy.''

When the Emperor heard this he smiled as he asked a question. ''Gerrin, what do the others say about him?''

Gerrin gulped before answering. ''Well, Thorin ditched them and is traveling on his own with him.''

Osoric sighed at the man's antics but at least he made contact with the boy, especially since his the boy's uncle.

He looked at the butler standing off to the side and spoke. ''Prepare for his arrival.''

The man nodded his head and walked off, a general spoke up in a questioning tone. ''Your Majesty. Why are you putting so much importance on a single dragon?''

Osoric looked at the man like he was an idiot and went on to explain. ''He isn't just any dragon but a white dragon. Tiamat's chosen.''

He stood up and continued. ''He could unite every dragon and their distant relatives under his banner and march on the Empire. But this boy doesn't seem to have conquest in mind, he just loves gold and girls but is very powerful even at his young age.''

The general nodded his head, and that was when a woman with purple/black hair spoke up. ''Are you sending him to the College of Magic your Majesty?'' n0velusB.C0m

Osoric answered. ''I will talk to the boy because it will be good for the empire if he attends. I have heard the rumors that he is a bit wild.''

Ophelia Blackfire the headmistress of the college smiled. ''Well, he's a dragon so you can bribe him with gold and the little princess Leira. She's also attending this year alongside a few other princesses.''

The group continued speaking and came to the decision that enrolling him in the College of Magic was their goal.
