《Fantasy of Ash and Blood》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The roar of the crowd sent Aerin into a daze. She had no idea what was going on. The tall Dragon priest looked down at her with some curiosity and a small smile, but Aerin detected a hint of sadness or perhaps sympathy? Whatever it was Aerin could tell that this news wasn't entirely positive from all perspectives.
"Please step down little one the festival must continue." he said surprisingly gently despite his physical presence.
"Calm down Aerin! You need to focus on the next round and ignore what happened, move forward." Aerin clenched her fist and actively ignored the stares and gawking coming from all around.
Without missing a beat the two dragon priests turned to the two groups and motioned for everyone to line up again. However this time when Aerin tried to back up the line backed up with her. Aerin looked back to see all of them had volunteered her as the first one to go up and get her mana tested.
"Are you kidding me?" Aerin muttered to herself "all this because I got some unique classification?"
The Dragon priests called her forward before each of them levitated a small orb just big enough to fit in two hands. Aerin looked at the dark orb that seemed to have a dark swirling underneath its crystal like shell.
"Put your hand on and when you feel a force enter your body do not panic it is part of the process." The large man said his eyes laid on her calmly.
Aerin took a big gulp before reaching out and placing her hand on the orb. A chill seemed to envelop her body as if being plunged into a snow covered mountain top. Aerin felt an energy seem to be sapped from her body before it ceased and her hand which had seemed to be stuck like a magnet was released causing her to stumble backwards one step.

The Dragon priest smiled as if he was expecting her results. The boy who stood opposite of her had been announced as fire attributed, but no one was particularly interested in his so he stepped down mildly annoyed.
"Dark attribute." the Dragon Priest uttered two simple words which again were foreign to her ears. While it wasn't entirely uncommon for Draakin to get other attributes besides fire it was uncommon, but dark attribute from her memory was completely unheard of.
The crowd did not react the same way as before only muttering to each other as if confused. Such an attribute would likely be difficult to train in since most Draakin were experienced in fire. Also the Flamespire mountains were in a warmer climate which meant few of them were covered in snow only the highest peaks would have any if they were not volcanic.
Again the large Dragon priest ushered her down to go stand with the boy who had just tested to await for the final round. Aerin already knew she would have a target on her back. Since she could only rely on her combat abilities she didn't care as much about her mana attribute since she had never been trained in magic abilities as it was.
Aerin closed her eyes while in her heart she was nervous. She was also for the first time confident that her future was not destined to be a farmer.
Aerin turned around and stepped down the clamour and conversation between the spectators still fervent as the last couple went up the platform. Aerin had no idea what a Wyrm was and by the looks of many of the youths who waited in the already tested section they didn't either. Only a handful of the higher tiered dragon class youth seemed to have an inkling of what a Wyrm was.

Eyes seemed to pierce in Aerin's direction from all over no one seemed to be able to take her eyes off her. It was going to be the next round for her group soon and she wasn't entirely sure what to make of the situation.
Dark attribute sounded something taboo and Aerin wasn't sure what to make of it. The entire event so far was a mixed bag of emotions. Closing her eyes she sent a quick plead for clarity and help to the Dragon God.

Seclusion
I look at the mountain of paperwork before me. I'm overworked. Slowly, my eyes fall shut. I'm so tired of this... A loud 'bang' caused by dropping off another pile of paperwork made me bolt upright. My maid stands before, scorn in her eyes. Annoyed, I wave her away—this is not the first time that that has happened. And she is not the only one who does that. 'Hated by my own people,' I sigh internally and rub my temples. This is not what my 'freedom' was supposed to look like. My eyes hover over the ring on my finger. I tried, you know? Right now, I only want everything to stop. Maybe read some books, eat something delicious, and nap as often as I want to. Wait...I am the matriarch! Hell, I can do whatever I want! Books? I can pocket whole libraries in my domain. Food? Also, in my domain. Naps? Well, there are many cuddly nooks in there. Sooo...my domain has everything I need—dunno why I never thought of this before. All that's left is to relocate its entrance to another totally secret place. How about that hidden forest temple? Yes, let's go with this! Goodbye obligations, goodbye people who always want to take over, goodbye enemies, and at last, good riddance to the council that tries to marry me off to one of these fat ugly narcissistic nobles. Uhh, I just hope nothing will go wrong during my long-term absence. Nahhh, nothing will happen at all; I am totally sure of it...probably. ______ This is the rewrite of the old story: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/273362/seclusion-old-version--dropped/ Alternate Titel: I lived so long in seclusion that everybody forgot about me

The Plan
An infinite world couldn’t be real, but if it was, well this would happen. Imagine a world that isn’t covered in water, but an endless atmosphere. Plates of land, named “islands”, float and drift almost aimlessly. There is no sun, stars, roof, or floor; just boundless air in every direction. Light is generated from the movement of air flow. Magical and mystical powers keep islands floating and the world full of fresh entropy. Some of these floating islands drift upwards or downwards or any combination of volatile or patterned velocities. Air flow also follows the same characteristics of islands, which generates the light and heat. In a world with no horizon, the different inhabitants struggle. Beings calling them selves deities across the endless space are countless. If you were to fall off an island, you would inevitably hit another island; if you didn’t die from old age first. Many inhabitants don’t know the land further than their own eye sight or town they grew up in. Almost all inhabitants of islands have supernatural abilities, ranging in ability and skill. Magical abilities are kept individually; and mystical powers are borrowed. Islands float because the land is enchanted by either a magical or mystical crystal. Magical islands are known for vertical variance, while mystical islands are known for vertical stability. The islands rotate around focal points, known as 'the center'. There are many 'the center', but no one knows this yet... Warning: Tagged Mature 18+ for Strong Language, Gore, Violence, and sexual scenes. Google Drive (Click here to open new window) WIP/spoilers
