# 1 day BA (before amaryc)
It was good morning for ⴰⵖⵉⵍⴰⵙ Aguilar, the city overseer and vote Breaker in the city council his job was good and simple, every time the council votes Aguilar can intervene to break a tie vote.
This position made his political life simple especially on Tamort this island far away from the mainland from the imperial cities and the day-to-day maneuvering for position, the ayour elf tribe was easy to control with their weak bloodline they will do anything for hope, yes this is the good life.
Until he received a message from the mainland, the prince was on his way to tamort.
Aguilar was not happy the prince will usher in all the political pressure that Aguilar abhors.
Still it was not his place to say no he just needs to get every thing ready and make the prince's life as smooth as possible, he is not coming to Tamort for hard work.
'No, he's just coming to play king and show his daddy his ready to be selected for the throne, nothing more.' Aguilar told himself.
As Aguilar was in his room getting ready for bed after a long day of preparation, the most powerful sensation of MANA pulse that he has ever felt moved through his body, it was invisible, yet its power was very clear and at the same time each and every single person in the city of new tanas ''or as everyone calls it tamort city'' was feeling it, the birth of high-born.
Aguilar froze in place amazed at the mana purity, is mind blanked out, moments later Aguilar was focusing inward bringing his mana under control.
His mind raced with possibilities and fears.
'Of all that could have happened, why a high-born of all things, this will be the end of my peace'. Aguilar
Aguilar understood that he just had more work added to his schedule, the introduction of a high-born made him the official representative of the Imperial inquisition, and it was his duty to guard the Imperial's interest.
He was getting dressed when his assistant almost broke his door down trying to get in
Aguilar shouted at the door __"yes yeees iphaw I KNOOOW"
'How could I not, every fucking aura in this city is trembling, no something that Powerful must be shacking the entire island' Aguilar told himself.
Aguilar opened the door walked the hallway in quick steps doing his best to control himself to not run to his office directly even in the privacy of his hall's he still needed to keep a dignified air, yet anyone could tell he was shaken, he did not even glance at his assistant as he exited the room.
Iphaw __"sir. Did you feel it that power, the purity in it was of high gold class".
Aguilar __"yes, I did, how could I not, this just adds to the complexity of every thing".
first the prince, now a high-born all in one day every thing changed from a good slow quit life to this hurricane __"iphaw the prince is scheduled to arrive in 3 days by the time he gets here I want the child found named and locked, and his parents secured and ready for negotiations with the Prince no one absolutely NO ONE from the nobles or gilds or church of purity is to approach or even talks to the parents no arrangement are to be made".
Iphaw __"yes sir, this will make the emperor very happy to secure the bloodline of high-born to add to the imperial family".
Aguilar __"don't be so sure about that not all gifts are seen as gifts, as soon as the witches guild informs us of the location as it is by law and tradition send a group of rangers I want to move fast".

# Location : the witches' guild
Inside the bedroom of teyoula ⵜⵉⵡⵍⴰ, leader of the witches guild on tamort.
Age 59 looks in her 30s Gothic milf breasts size 38d
The moment the mana pulse passed her body stimulating her aura while shocking her core, teyoula's eyes opened in shock, after a moment of considering what she just felt she knew that tonight there will be no sleep.
Teyoula tossed the bedsheet's and opened the door walked to her office directly, in her way her assistant's all fully awakened and alert fallowed her, or joined the group as she passed by, she arrived at her office door already opened for her, she entered, and they fallowed.
Teyoula looked around her office to see her girls surrounding her, they were all shocked she could see it in their eyes, as well as their unbalanced aura's, and for the first time ever in front of her girls, she was looking unsure.
In the silence of her office she spoke, "get me the locution of the blessed one, trace that mana pulse immediately, that is the most important task in all your lives".
Two of her assistants moved out of the office fast almost running,
__"also get us ready to receive guests many would want to get any information we can share it will be a good opportunity for us to trade".
A second pair left the room,
__"and prearrange a messenger to deliver the location of the blessed one to the overseer as it is our duty, he must be preparing to send rangers if not the entire city, we must not be blamed for any delay in that".
one more maid left the office.
'Yes, this could turn badly, precautions are needed, can't screw this',
__"the overseer is to be considered as the representative of the inquisition and so his demands are to be answered to avoid any accusation of improper response to the birth of blessed one in the questioning that will surely come".
Teyoula sensed an opportunity in success and feared the magnitude of failure.
# Location : Church of purity
in the bedroom of yemmeṛḍen the mother nun
age 69 looks in her 40s golden hair, Lean MILF body with freckles on her face and breasts, size 46g
She was in here bed naked looking at the moon through the window with her green eyes, and she quivered from what can only be pure MANA signaling a birth of a high-born, that MANA was so pure so intoned to her own MANA even purer cleaner to a point it could be called HOLY.
__"a high-born".
she moved out from her bed as did here assistant nun tameṛḍont.
Yemmerden found it very hard to supers her aura and bring her self under control, the mana pulse stimulated her core, bringing her waves of lust.
'No, this is not the time for that' she could tell that her nun tamerdont was in the same dilemma, only she was less able to control her aura.
'It must be the re-berth ritual side effect, only it's stronger this time, all the sisterhood must be filling it',
moments later she was back in control of her aura, her nun was closer to calming as well.
'Tonight history will be made', she told her self
Few minutes later the entire sisterhood branch of the church of purity in tamort was in the church hall in the nave, yemmerden was on the altar looking down at her sisters, she was looking at their dazed and lustful eyes, as hungry for mana as she was.
"Pure sisters of tamort tonight we rejoice, for you have felt the calling of mana, the signal of a new era of mercy and cleansing of sins and the sinful"

her sisters listened in silence, she knew they were holding back the urges and uncontrolled aura.
_______"Sisters we are blessed to be in the era of a true noble, born from its own strength"
she could see it the promise this child represents to her future in the church on the island and in her longing for more purity in this world.
__"Our flock well need reassurance we most invest in this opportunity to strengthen their faith, open the doors and Welcome them in".
# Location : Ayour tribe leader castle
within the bedroom of ⵜⴰⵢⵔⵉ tayri, age 57 looking in her 30s, red hair, race elf woman, size 46g.
She reacted to the MANA like all the city people did, her mind blanked out, and then after she controlled her aura she remembered her position as well as her tribe's position, years of political training kicked in awakening her mind.
She moved out of bed half-naked and shameless, opening the door and summoning her maids and daughter.
__"Joullya, tilli get in here now".
Her maids lead by the head maid joullya entered her bedroom, she gave orders immediately __"get my best clothing and jewelry, open our vault we must present gifts to the overseer and the new royal family".
Tonight the ayour tribe will be tested and will not fail.
The room was ruled by silence, joullya didn't say a thing just looked at one maid, and the maid understood and walked out.
They were all proper maids, none of the maids spoke, they all understood that their mistress was thinking and interrupting her would go badly.
Tilli still half-naked walked in, reading the room from the behavior of the maids only added to her alertness as if the mana pulse wasn't enough.
The ayour tribe had a birth problem, the most severe shortage of birth's in all the races, it was so bad they didn't fear any kidnappings in more than 20 years, here and now that fear is back.
Until today hope for the tribe was dwindling, 'this is what we needed, and more to much more, still it is the fresh blood we wanted'. Tayri told herself.
Tayri wasn't delusional, she knows they will take the child away, so she would seek family members, relatives hoping for better chances of stronger bloodline, maybe negotiate a future bloodline crossings in the name of place of birth, anything she could get she would take.
__"Joullya, get your spies ready, I want to know everything about the child".
# Location : Imperial ship

__"Did you feel that MANA" asked the prince
tazya __"we all did, it was pure, so pure and to feel it this far from tamort, we need to speed up"
amroze __"yes we do i have all the ship's Crew working on that they will use their MANA to speed us up we will be in tamort 2 days earlier than planned thanks to our earlier departure"
tazya __"how lucky"
__"Amroze as you know, my father has given me Tamort as my fief, to prepare me for the throne, this high-born will be a good tool if handled the right way so start planing and as soon as we arrive i want you to put all the pressure you can on anyone in my path understood"
__"yes sir"
after Amroze left, tazya looked at here son with smile on here face
__"a high-born, that is truly a good omen the political trades we can do with it could the foundation you need"
prince ⴰⵎⴷⵓⵡⵙ amdose (the strong) was not so sure about his mother's hopeful tone
__"yes mother it could be a blessing or not"
# Location: The Great Forest of tamort
Time: 20 minutes BA (before amaryc)
as the sun was setting down, a boy no older than 14 years of age was searching for food as, always, life in tamort was harsh.
He was sentenced to die from the day he was born, the boy had no choice only hope, with that falls hope the boy tried to live, to build a home in the silent forest, but it was too much for the sick boy in a harsh world.
The Great Forest of tamort wasn't always like this, silent as a grave, with the kind of silence that could drive a man into madness, from the paranoia, mixed with fear of the unknown.
A silence only a native could live in, A native like our boy, walking slowly to his death.
Any observer could tell he was tired, dirty and hungry, with the look of an orphan.
The boy suddenly stopped as if seeing a monster only he can see, his face showed fear, deep fear, the kind that makes men run and piss themselves.
The fear of absolute pain and death, the boy's eyes were tearful, Chest deflating with defeat and the pain hit him.
It was as if the world was made of glass, cracks formed all around the boy, cracks made of electricity, the air was fully ionized.
As the boy turned into an electric storm, his mind filed up with memories of failures, regrets, hopes and dreams.
The boys didn't scream, didn't make a single sound, all that could be heard was the sound of lightning.
The boy started falling and it was watching.
The boy didn't know he was being watched, didn't feel how his death was attracting something so powerful that it can't manifest in this world without damaging it.
As the boy was falling, time slowed.
To be more Precise it wasn't time that slowed to crawl, no that would be the biggest look over here sign.
What happened was that an entity observing the boy moved its perception of time to the maximum, for it has found the perfect opportunity.
The thing was playing a game, and it just found the perfect cheat.
Not only the boy, simultaneously another soul was dying.
Two souls with similar aura, dying at exactly the same point in space and time, that was a rare opportunity to play a game.
The opportunity was so good it felt like a trap, a good one.
The entity took the risk, It chose its moment carefully and from its higher dimension, the entity fluxed it's will power over MANA, forcing the world to obey and do its biding.
The entity was really excited this is the perfect cheat, undetectable if it was careful not to leave an obvious trace.
And so it started examining both minds to see if and how far it can effect this.
For the boy's consciousness it didn't care pushing his consciousness to the other side was enough, the important part was pulling the other consciousness into this damaged mind on this side of reality.
The entity was surprised to see that the consciousness it wanted, had a mind with two memory systems, one natural, and the second was actually made a non-core memory system, that's strange.
Not knowing how separating the two halves would affect the transfer and future functionality of the new mind, it started to focused on the boy's body and his dying core changing it, slightly bit by bit effecting it.
It was a dying core in a dead brain, canceling its protective spells as a living mind, so the entity didn't need permission to effect the core and mind, it was not violating any rules just adding a feature to a system full of bugs.
'Bugs, that's a new way to speak of spell failures'
The entity was exploring portions of the second non-core memory system and found the new knowledge interesting.
Most of it was just nonsense as if it's protected by some spell being unable to read it made the entity irritated, yet it had work to do so it didn't focus on its failure to break this strange spell of obfuscation.
Concentrating on the core, it transferred the memories of the strange non-core to the core and connected it to the mind that should make the new consciousness able to access the strange memories as if it still had its original system.
After the transfer and the reconnecting, it added a relaxing functionality to the core to help the new mind accept the new shift in circumstances and not go insane.
After that it started to Partially fix the core with pure MANA, it can fix it completely, yet that would leave a trace of its work, that would be bad it's interference in this core is already is too much.
anymore poking will make its involvement a certainty, so it only modified the core to heal slowly, and that was necessary for the survival of this body.
It will take a few years to heal on its own, the seizures won't stop, still better than certain death.
Finally, the work was done, the switching process was ready for the final step, of core rebirth.
The entity slowed the boy's momentum so that when the body hits the ground, it would be less damaged.
A bit more inspecting showed a rock that would crack the boy skull on impact, it removed the rock using force magic, it can destroy it completely, but that would leave a trace of its involvement.
Next was the fire, the electric energy the boy released set a few plants on fire.
That needed fixing, having its cheat die in a forest fire would be really disappointing, the fire just stopped like a dying candle.
The entity knew that this body needs food, and hunting won't be easy, so it searched the area found a rabbit and give it an impulse to move in direction of the trap's the boy setup.
It did that to other rabbit, just made the impulse on timer, having every rabbit in the area walk into traps would be one more bad idea.
The entity took one last look at its work, found no problems, and left.
The boy dropped slowly, as the body settled on the forest ground, internal changes in the core, body and mind started taking effect.
BoOm
From the base of his neck, a pure MANA pulse was released as a consequence of core rebirth.
That pulse was the beginning of a cataclysmic shift in the course of history, of this world and its universe, a complete fork off its original course.
Every single important events for the next, 100,000 years can be traced back to this multidimensional point in space and time.
**Let's play the game of life.**
# after
6 hours after the MANA pulse
tamort city emergency council meeting.
members percent
Aguilar + assistant Iphaw
witches' guild, teyoula
Church of purity yemmeṛḍen + assistant nun tameṛḍont
tradesman guild valwres
ayour tribe leader ⵜⴰⵢⵔⵉ tayri age 57 looks in here 30s + (daughter tilli ⵜⵉⵍⵍⵉ age 26)
The moment the witches' guild had a direction of the pulse the information was sent in less than 2 minutes straight to the 15 rangers waiting in the city gate, they will go to the village to secure the newly appointed noble family wait for group B of 30 guards to bring a good wagon to show we give shit about the mother's health and move her carefully and in comfort back to the city and close the castle doors, so no more than 3 to 4 days.
And now Aguilar was seated in the counsel room following procedures and listening to the consequences of bureaucracy, fake work reports and talks about nothing, he was not happy, just the idea of the political pressure that was on his way, was killing his mod until he looked at yemmerden.
As Aguilar was daydreaming of yemmeṛḍen the mother nun of the Church of purity, the witches' guild, teyoula was speaking.
__"As you all know, MANA pulsations are caused by expansions and contractions in the outer layers of the newborn soul as it seeks to maintain equilibrium after birth. These fluctuations in the soul cause extra MANA to be ejected in pulsations or just one like today, and from that pulsation we can tell that the MANA in this new high-born is extremely pure natural god blessed."
Yemmerden
__"yes, we are truly blessed to be witnessing the birth of a true noble, i still can't believe the range of it's influence".
Aguilar thought, 'yes, and you will probably kill to get the child if it's a girl to add to your churches power'
Aguilar didn't want to play this time wasting game, so he spoke up
__"in 3 days we will be having the newly appointed noble family, and his highness the first prince as the appointed ruler of tamort, with his authority and on his behalf i will make sure of the child and the parents safety in the castle"
That made everyone lose their smiles. Except valwres, he was smiling at his old friend.
# To the village
The trip from the city to the small village, by wagon would usually take a full day and night if you don't stop, yet this was not a normal trip, so the rangers used 3 new wagons the tradesman guild was trying to advertise to tamort's traders, the trip will take at most a day.
The drivers were taking turns moving and controlling the MANA, it was a simple task just focusing on MANA and have a small part of it push the MANA in the engine and the cores will add to your power making the wagon move, and move it did for there will be no stopping.
BOOM
in the middle of forest road just 20% away from the village the rangers had to stop the first wagon exploded and was on fire and off the road moving to the left side.
# 1 day AA (after amaryc)
The Imperial ship arrived 2 days ahead of schedule Aguilar and all the city council members didn't like it the prince was already showing that he's going to be a problem.
lying about his arrival date wasn't a good sign, they bowed played the game they all know, talked about nice things pointless things and avoided anything that can even hint at the situation.
They all had a part in the game to play, the goal was to get a favor or two from this, so they just waited for the new happy family to arrive.
# 3 days AA (after amaryc)
tamort city council emergency meeting
ayour tribe leader ⵜⴰⵢⵔⵉ tayri + daughter tilli ⵜⵉⵍⵍⵉ
in the entrance door to the council room.
tayri
__"i don't know why Aguilar called us today at this time it's nearly nighttime all i know is you have a duty don't forget"
tilli __"yes, mother, i know if the Prince plans to leave tamort with the new nobles i will do anything to stop it"
tayri __"so will i, we need this bloodline added to our tribe"
In the council room

Aguilar + assistant Iphaw
witches' guild, teyoula
Church of purity yemmeṛḍen + assistant nun tameṛḍont
tradesman guild valwres
overseer amroze
concubine tazya
prince amdose
They all looked at the door opening and Two men entered and stood still before the council, injured and in pain not that they showed it.
they were guards sent after the rangers and now they're back just two of the 30 guards and 15 rangers only two men came back that made every one scared, in less than 30 minutes Aguilar called for council emergency meeting.
Aguilar already knows the story, he just didn't want to be the man with the bad news not after taking full inquisition as well as imperial responsibility.
the prince was not intervening just watching, that terrified Aguilar the most.
Aguilar __"report, FAST and to the point"
The ranger on the right spoke in the voice of a defeated man that failed the most important mission in his life.
__"Sir, after we fallowed the first group, to help secure their return, We found them on the road all dead, we moved to the village it was empty, only 5 wagons from the tradesman guild, the only tracks found came from one of the wagons moving towards the river using the rocky land to hide its destination we tried to investigate further, yet the demons wear in the area blocking any attempt, and suddenly they retreated, we can only speculate that they finished their task and had no reason to delay us any further, we moved to the village we found only blood, all the bodies were taken we tried to look around search for anything and the second group of demons attacked us, they had a similar yet a different aura we moved out to the city most men died from their injuries or poison."
With a pale face, the witch's guild leader ⵜⵉⵡⵍⴰ teyoula interrupted, in low fearful voice __"the inquisition will hang us all".

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep
