Chapter 10
Alone figure stands at the edge of a terrase, surrounded by the stars lighting up the night sky. The silence provides a calming and peaceful atmosphere. A voice calls out, " Love, when are you returning to bed?" The figure is suddenly hugged from behind. Calantha " Jaron, I know you miss your son, and you've been coming out here to remember him." Jaron turns around and says," it's not only that, but my son must know he has 3 siblings and two on the way, "as Jaron caressed Calantha. 
A dark voice comes out, " Cute , I wish I had this love, but in my 600 000 years, I've got no luck." Zaras appears with a grin on his face, Jaron on the defensive covers Calantha and asks," Who are you?!" Zafar acts hurt, even shedding tears and  also falling to the floor.  Zafar " my own brother-in-law doesn't know me, sis is really evil how come he didn't introduce the biggest attraction of the family." Jaron still confused." She looked at Calantha. His and her eyes had a discussion without talking.  Zafar cuts the silence off " Stupid I'm not talking about this wife, Don't you remember , you have two beautiful wives?." Jaron clinched his sword tightly and asked " Do you want my son?" Zafar acting to be oblivious , " son?!, you got a son, no stupid I came for you." Zafar continues." Hey, you woman , leave can't you see men are talking, do your job and warm the bed." Calantha was furious and wanted to act, but Jaron sent her  away.
Now, with the Calantha gone, a serious demeanor asked Zafar why he was special for him. Zafar grinning, first before he said something, he whistled, and Libeous appeared with a new head. Zafar introduced his new knight and  said " Listen brother in-law, I'm here for my own motives , I've sensed your aura and you've gotten stronger but you've only evolved from an ant to a mouse." Jaron still on guard asked." You came all the way here to tell me this crap?" Zafar shocked , brother, brother, cursing for a person your age and you're a father too." Jaron annoyed asked zafar to leave because this talk isn't going nowhere. 
Zafar, now serious with his chilling voice, whispered, " I need you to kill my sister, R.I.P . Dead, she is no longer here. She is in hell type thing." Jaron, even more  confused, wondered why zafar wanted to kill his sister. Zafar  went closer to Jaron and grabbed his arm, and drawed a magic engraving. Zafar " my beloved brother in-law  this engraving pour your magic onto it and summon my familiar a 4 headed dragon and consume it, it doesn't rival the nether dragon but it'll bring you closer to my sister." Zafar continues to explain the power system of this world, " Brother, you know that there are three cores in a living creature: 
- first in the heart , those are for mages in which life force around us is converted into mana for magic.
second in the stomach, those are for warriors or nights , where they convert life energy into ki
- some can use both cores and are named magic swordsmans
Third, the mind, this is the hardest core to master and there are few to master me, and the queen is one of those few . It converts life energy around us into enlightenment 
As  you know, the more you practice, the larger your core grows. Now picture the core of someone who's 500 000 years old. "
Zafar was getting ready to leave but  said one last thing " Remember you can't win this fight , it might as well be hopeless, but as soon as the war starts, activate that." Zafar left leaving Jaron alone, Jaron left and went to his wife and told her everything.  Calantha advised Jaron not to  mind Zafar because everyone in that family is not worthy to be trusted.  
Zafar was walking with Libeous, and Libeous asked, " master why did you tell all that to Jaron?" Zafar just laughed and responded," Yeah, I really do wish to kill my sister. There can't be two dragons in one world, I just played my first move in this chess game." Libeous asked if zafar really thinks  Jaron will listen to his masters advice. Zafar  responded" of course not but I'm gonna give him a hell of a time, send some of my soldier as if they're the queen's soldiers, to pressure him to activate it when the time to fight comes ." Zafar with a menacing voice and aura revealed that the one Itachi was seeing is him. Then he went on his lively personality and suggested it's either him or Itachi himself. Zafar inner monolog " I'll.....I'll devour everything even...even...even him!!!, I'll achieve my dream."
Jaron while in his bed was also having his own monolog " my son I wonder how , you have grown, I need you by my side and it pains me that you don't live your life like normal kids."
A spy came into King THOROLD Chambers and told him about the events that transpired. King Thorold wanted to call a strategy meeting because war is coming. King Thorold asked his spy about the whereabouts of Itachi, and his spy told him that the sage said they're taking a trip to 5 cities before coming here. The king confused asked why they would do that. Spy. " Apparently, your Highness ,Itachi needs to have a little test before the war commences." The king confused." he had an entire 12 years, and now he decides that the moment to have this test is right now?!"
The king dismissed his spy and went out to the training field. 
The king came to the training field and practiced his sword.  With his inner mantra being, " The witch needs to be killed." The king practiced until morning. The knights were surprised to find their king out and about so early.  Calantha called out to her father, " dad, don't you think it's time to rest , I don't want to see you croak just yet!!" The king just ignored her and continued training when she tried to intervene she was stopped by the guards. 
Calantha went to Jaron and told him about her stress that his father would work himself to death.  Jaron replied, " No, Calantha, it's war time. You can't expect to be fighting someone who's a hundred thousand years old, who killed over 5,7 million people, and you just relax." Calantha, angry shouted." That's not what I was saying, "Jaron comforted her and said he knows her father is preparing himself for a possible death.  Calantha now comforted told her husband they also needed to train, she jokingly asked, " Hey, you not afraid of me accidentally killing your wife, aren't you?" They both laughed and went to training field to train.
The queen also sent a spy to come and convey if her son was back. The scout told her that her son had taken a detour , and the scout retells that it seems that they're finishing her sons training. Thalion, standing outside of her chambers, heard the news and had a methodical plan to kill Itachi first, make Jaron mad, then kill Jaron last to avenge his brother. Thalion went in with different intentions than what he's going to say ," Your Majesty, sorry for the intrusion  can I have the pleasure of tailing Itachi? Make sure no harm comes to him." The queen saw this as a lovely idea and allowed it. Thalion grinning was set to go and fulfill one part of his revenge," like they say an eye for an eye, blood for blood  , touch me first prepare to die!!!"
