Chapter 7:

As I walk up the stairs I wave at my family and stare at the examiner's with resolve in my eyes. Placing my hands on the first orb confidently, the orb shines a bloody red. Turning my head towards the examiner, I see a surprised and excited expression on his face. Regaining his demeanor, he announces the results. " Aerial Blood Dragon, Sky Variant. In addition of its blood, water, wind and fluid affinities, it has the extremely rare but strong affinity, sky. It's divine ability is the same as a normal blood dragon, it can create clones. The original body will have its strength split evenly between all bodies and maintaining clones stresses the mind out."

Instantly, I turn my head to my parents and I notice them having a proud look. Seeing their expressions, I get more motivated and I place my hand on the second orb. A light appears, before rapidly expanding and blinding everyone. I feel a tiny pressure extruding from the orb and I feel like the orb might break. The light dies down and the arena goes silent. Thinking my this is a bad sign as the orb as cracks in it, my expression turns unsightly, but I remember my parents words and I turn towards the examiner.

Not even trying to hide his expression, the examiner's mouth open so wide that if it could, it would break through the floor. I look around the arena and notice everyone but my parents have a shocked expression. After maybe around a minute passed, the examiner finally regains his composure and announces the results with a hint of respect and admiration.

" He has reached a level above the perfect affinity, he has reached the Ascended affinity for the Blazethrone bloodline variant, the legendary Starblaze bloodline!" Hearing this I walk down the stairs with a proud look and send glares to both Egor and Lexus who both have unsightly faces.

I walk down to my parents and give them a proud look, they look back at me with a serious face and my father says " Son, don't get arrogant, remember always remain kind and modest to everyone around you and you will make friends and not enemies. But that doesn't mean be nice to enemies, to enemies be ruthless, don't show them any weakness." He has a weird glint in his eyes when he says that.

" It's time to leave for the capital, we got the results for the Dragunir test. And I don't want to stay here to offend anymore people." Vigrel's father says with a slightly unhappy face, probably from Vigrel's results.

We get ready before leaving and when we are on the carriage I console Vigrel.

" Don't worry Vigrel, like I said before, I have this weird feeling you have something restricting your talent, waiting to erupt at the capital." This helps him a little but he still nonchalantly answers the same as before.

Blazethrone Clan Headquarters'.

A messenger appears in a majestic room full of various treasures, antiques and many other items. It has chandeliers and a red carpet rolling down from a throne. The throne is a massive flame shaped, vermillion throne with two servants on either side. Sitting on the throne was a tall burly man, with red hair, red eyes with a few purple tattoos on his body. He has mercury skin and had silky hair which normally you wouldn't think a warrior like would have. Resting on his throne is a gigantic war axe that 3 meters tall. The axe blade is 1.5 meters wide and half a meter thick. The axe itself is black with extremely intricate red markings carved into it. The red markings unceasing moved and glowed.

The tall man asked the messenger " Tell me, what is it?"

" M m m m my lord, at the Dragunir race and bloodline test your third brother and his family were there."

A expression of disdain appeared on the burly man's face and he asked " How is news about that waste important?" A strong pressure falls onto the shoulders of the messenger.

"Heee! M m m my lord, it is not news about your third brother that is important, it is about his son. H h h his son was revealed to be a aerial Blood Dragon, Sky variant with ascending affinity for the legendary s Starblaze bloodline." The messenger managed to shutter out.

"What!" The burly man stood up with a surprised expression and smashed his hand against the throne. " You better not lie to me!"

The pressure on the poor messenger increased 10 fold and he slammed down onto the ground. " M m my lord, this l l lowly messenger wouldn't dare lie to you." The pressure disappears and the messenger lets out a sigh.

"Leave now." The messenger hears this and has a elated expression on his face, running out of the room.

" Jiro!" The burly man says as he sits down. " My lord." A voices sounds out as a man wearing ninja clothes steps out of the shadows.

"Jiro go investigate if what that messenger said is true. If it is, go take the other Darkplam Corps and protect that boy from that shadows. I need to somehow recruit him into the clan and raise that talent. If he can grow extremely strong, our clan can become the strongest after the royal family in Amerist."

"Yes sir!" The ninja slips into the shadows again and disappears.

The burly man says to himself with a excited and thrilled expression " If it is true, we can defeat the Electricrose clan and the Solarshine clan." He starts laughing crazily.

Astin's Pov:

This time the journey wasn't as dangerous and we reached the capital relatively safe which is weird. We rarely encounter a beasts and I'm getting a bad feeling about it. Going back to the capital, I look around the capital seeing magnificent buildings in the distance. Knowing this is where my true journey starts, I absorb how my surroundings look, to make sure I know how to navigate through.

To be continued.

Authors' note: I started writing a second story called Mischievous Dungeon. Feel free (I encourage it) to give tips, comments and reviews about both stories. I will start going over previous chapters to improve, since I don't really have any character development and my characters are pretty shallow. So look out for that and also more pov's I will add to let you know about the thinking of other characters. Because of break I can release more chapters. Sorry for the shorter chapters, I'm just a little tired from school, they will get longer soon.
