Chapter 10 - The Vast

Chapter 10

50 years ago a women was pregnant with the child of a Viking that Viking fell in battle and gave the name of his ship to his unborn child the ships name was Vast and the Viking who had died his name was unknown. Even the women herself was unknown she named her boy Fair because as he got older by the age of 2 he was taking down thieves and robbers in there village. Fair the Vast was his full name and his mother died of illnesses because there was no cure at the time. Fair embarked on a Journey still only 2 years old learning magic and techniques alien to the rest of the magic world of Pangea. And by 5 years old was already able to handle top tier wizards with ease and even slayed dragons and fallen angels although he ended up with scars all over his body because of the battles he had fought. Getting stronger and stronger at the age of 10 he faced off against the royal knights and lost for the first time. He realized then and there he was human like everyone else and ended up training harder and learning ancient things throughout Pangea.

Coming back at 16 he easily defeated the royal knights and proceeded to challenge the previous king of Pangea easily defeating him but accidentally killing him. He swore to never hurt a wizard again and when he was asked if he was a wizard he would tell people he's a Viking. He met a blonde woman and settled down fighting for the new king the son of the previous king and was asked hundreds of times to join the magic royal knights and he always declined. He achieved pure black mana and another mana separate from his natural mana.

Guvo- what was that?

Merlin- a loud bang?

Guvo- No not just that the mana it's everywhere it smells revolting

Merlin- yeah what the hell is this?

Somewhere else in the castle

Xavier- Oh… I deadly man has made here I wonder why he is here

Miscellaneous- He's here for me

Xavier- and why is that Farless?

Miscellaneous- don't speak that name Uzui

Xavier- sure I won't for now but just know Guvo will find out sooner or later he's much smarter than you think

Miscellaneous- I already know how smart he is Xavier

Outside of the castle

Fair stands waiting patiently

Guvo walks up to him

Guvo- Your F-Fait the Vast?

Fair doesn't acknowledge Guvos existence

Guvo- uhh hello?

Merlin walks outside to where they are

Merlin- this is the guy with the wierd mana

Guvo- this is Fair the Vast he's considered the strongest Wizard…I mean Viking on the planet

Fair- Boy you have a gray presence but I am not here for you

Guvo- (he acknowledged Merlin but not me)

Merlin- hmm Fair the vast? You're grandson is Ternity Vast right?

Fair- I only pay attention to my own children not my children's children

Merlin- hmm something tells me you're not a threat I get a peaceful feeling about you

Fair- I believe in piece but that will never come to pass so I must prevent as much destruction as possible

Merlin- that's fair

Guvo- (face palms)

Merlin- so why are you here now?

Fair- the one they call "miscellaneous" I'm here to take there head

Guvo- why is that? (What's going on?)

Merlin- why Fair

Fair- because they released a man by the name of Adrien Dusk back out into the world

Merlin- Adrien Dusk?

Guvo- Dusk? Aren't the Dusk family completely gone? They were all killed by demons right?

Merlin- Fair can you answer Guvos questions too

Fair- for a young Viking like you I shall. The Dusk family was not killed off by demons they were killed by themselves fighting over there ancient power

Guvo- what is that power?

Fair- the power to unravel

Guvo- I'm still confused

Fair- all they have to do is make a motion with there hand and it can completely unravel anything around them into nothingness. I once faded a dusk and barley managed to live I was too fast for him and had to decapitate him to win. The Dusk family found out they couldn't be born with mana and of the few that were born of mana they would kill at birth. They started killing each other because after killing one they would be able to consume there power as well making it progressively more powerful.

Guvo- Woah so Adrien killed them off one by one?

Fair- no his father did but he killed his father while he slept

Guvo- how does an ability like that work without mana?

Fair- I'm unsure it's strange and dangerous we had sealed Adrien in the Pangea vault where only a few people have access and Miscellaneous let him out letting him escape to the moon where he's been causing atrocities.

Merlin- and you won't fight him?

Fair- I went to the moon but I couldn't find him I'm unsure where he is at this moment but he's somewhere other than the moon but when I do find him I'll end him for good

Guvo- hmm Adrien Dusk

Fair- and one more thing he was also born with mana unlike most of his family his father kept him alive because his mana was somehow special

Guvo- I see

In the castle

Miscellaneous- I'll be going out to see Fair now

Ternity- don't forget you said you would cover up my next victim

Miscellaneous- I shall I've already covered up 23 by now correct?

Ternity- Guvo is too smart tho I'm in fear hill find evidence

Back outside

Miscellaneous- hello Fair or should I call you the very Vast itself

Fair- you have violated laws beyond normal magic laws and will be terminated

Miscellaneous- and you have evidence that I've done this?

Fair- I've found enough clues that point directly at you being the perpetrator

Miscellaneous- Guvo your out here?

Guvo- why traitor?

Miscellaneous- oh Guvo… Let me show you who I really am

She takes off her robe and white mask to reveal that she is nun other than

Guvo- S..Sh…SHUNEN FARLESS?!!

Fair- … It appears this situation has gotten out of hand..You we're killed Shunen how do you live?

Shunen- I captivated myself in Orange mana and Guvos perfect flame brought me back

Fair- This man has the perfect flame?

Shunen- yes he does he was born with it his flames are hotter than the earth's core some say hotter than the sun

Fair- Hmm… Shunin.. I will spare you for now I need Guvo to come with me though

Shunin- deal

Guvo- WHAT THE HELL I JUST LEARNED MY OLD MASTER IS ALIVE AND YOUR ALREADY TAKING ME AWAY?

Fair- No I will bring you back but you're perfect flame is very important in fact it's crucial

Guvo- I…understand…

Shunin- I let him out of the Pangea vault for good reason… oh and your son Parteque is the father of my child

Guvo- your child being Ternity vast?

Shunin-…Yes

Guvo- Fair let's go and Merlin… You know what this means

Fair- yes we shall move goodbye young Viking

Merlin- I got this Guvo and goodbye Fair the Vast

Somewhere in another realm

Vilna- Mercy can you handle that thing all by yourself

Ancient Dragon- HE WHO DARES CHALLENGE AN ANCIENT DRAGON DIES A THOUSANDS DEATHS

Vilna- THAN WHYD YOU SEND HIM TO BATTLE DARIUS!

Darius- Relax he'll be fine Vilna

Mercy- Chaos Armor

Armor made from his now darker red mana forms around his body

Mercy- Chaos blade

A Great sword made from his mana forms into his right hand

Ancient dragon- YOUR ATTEMPT IS IMPRESSIVE BUT FUTILE

A blast of mana spits at Mercy but Mercy slices in half

Mercy- die and become my strength

Mercy quickly cuts the dragon in half from head to tail

Tre dragons body falls and clashes with the ground

Far away on Pangea

Adrien- The amulet it's going crazy out of control

The amulet moving around aggressively and shatters completely

Adrien- NOOO FUCK

Adrien punches the ground causing an earthquake throughout the forest he is in

Adrien- Looks like I won't be seeing you for a while Merlin…

Back at the castle

Muriel- I hope Merlin is okay

Shaow- me too he's been ignoring my messages the past few days

Kubo- he's probably training Shaow but I do hope he's okay

Somewhere in the sky a dragon the size of a small mountain flys with a house on it that creeks back and forth in the wind

Crescent- So this is the perfect flame?

Fair- yes he has the power to change the world Crescent

Guvo- Crescent? Haha reminds me of Merlin's last name-

Crescent- Moon?

Guvo- how did you?

Crescent- so you are Merlin's teacher that's my son

Guvo- You're Merlin's father? You're one of the only people I've met with blood mana and the only person I've met who has it as dark as yours

Crescent- it took a long time to get like this my mana isn't what's important right now though it's the perfect flame that you have and that you are

Guvo- I rarely ever used my perfect flame it's dangerous

Fair- you know deep down it has other abilities than just fire Lax you've used it before so you know it's nature

Guvo- fine I understand

Crescent- good

On the moon

King- looks like the moon has gotten repairs and is much safer now

Dar- It is but where did the man that caused this go?

King- He's somewhere hunting someone or should I describe him as something? He is quite strange (The king had felt Merlin's power surge all the way on the moon) I see Merlin you are too much for Pangea to handle I want you to become stronger and fight me so badly young Merlin… Im impatient I can't wait to fight you one on one

A few months pass by and the second semester begins

Python- hello second years welcome to the Cryptic class where we learn about curses and blood for power

Shaow- Hello Mr.Python

Kubo- Hi
