Chapter 934 A Small Journey For Everyone
-----
"Hm? About what?" I wondered.
"Well, I've been considering something when I learned about Aquarina's training, and I think everyone would benefit if they went through their own training, to perhaps separate and go on their own adventures." Said my mother. "I am not saying this out of just nowhere, there are certain things you can learn from people that is far away, and power to acquire from inheritances as well."
"Yeah, we talked about this with your mom too." My father added. "It is ideal for all of you to go through a small journey, learn from the world and its experiences, and also to meet important people so you can gain experience and knowledge yourselves."
"E-Eh? Is that so?" I wondered. "This is a bit sudden…"
"Well, if things are going to be like this, I wouldn't mind… But where would I go to?" Zack wondered curiously.
"Will I have to separate from Lara?" Asked Luck, feeling slightly sad. "C-Can't she come along?!"
"Well, we've been thinking about things ourselves…" Said Ninhursag. "But you and Zack will come with me. There's a special Inheritance, the inheritance of my people I want you to obtain, of my ancestors, in fact. Zack who is my son, and Luck who is the Hero of Beasts would be the best candidates, it is located within the Continent of Humans, Gallatea."
"An Inheritance even I can get?!" Zack was excited. "I thought it was something only heroes could get…" He started gripping his fist.
"Lara…" Luck glanced at Lara sadly.
"It's fine!" Lara smiled. "I want Luck to get much stronger so you can protect my back! And in exchange, I'll also get super strong myself!"
"Hmm…" Luck seemed rather sad. "Okay… If that's what I need to do to get stronger, I'm willing to go to the end of the world!"
"Good boy." Ninhursag smiled. "It is an inheritance not even I have stepped into, although I might be the last of my kin, a tribe of Ancient Humans with shapeshifting magic powers, my Ancestors once prospered in far away mountains, using their powers to travel and survive. It's going to be a rough journey, be prepared."
"W-What about me?" Mist asked, feeling rather left out.
"And me?" Lara asked excitedly.
"You two will come with me." My mother said. "Both Lara as a Saint, and Mist as a powerful Priestess qualify to learn from my teachings in a small journey of pilgrimage. If we have the opportunity, we will also visit the Fountain of Light, the Divine Inheritance of the First Saintess. Where I completed its trials to inherit a part of her powers, which might be possible for Lara, and even Mist."
"Wow…" Lara was amazed. "Really?! So cool! Let's do this Mist!"
"Y-Yaaay…" Mist seemed sad she'll separate from Zack. "I-I guess… I-I'll give it… my all…!" She was trying really hard to not worry Zack, who seemed very excited about the whole thing.
"And us?" Celeste wondered.
"Oooh, we'll be taught by Shade?!" Celica asked, gasping.
"Although it would certainly be useful, I am going on a trip with my daughter and my wife, so I can't go with you two, nor bring you along, girls." Shade apologized. "Sorry."
"Oh no, you two and Sylphy are going somewhere else completely!" My mother smiled. "You'll be visiting one of our old friends, you know her as the Witch of the Blue Mountain."
"Really?!" I asked in shock. "W-We're finally meeting her! The one that has been doing our equipment for so long…"
"No way!" Aquarina was amazed. "I also wanted to meet her… not fair."
"I-Isn't she also one of the heroes?" Zack asked.
"Indeed." Grandfather said sternly. "She is… quite a handful. Half elf, half dwarf, she prefers her dwarven heritage, therefore she has been living in her mountain for many years. After two hundred years, she gained the title of "Witch of the Blue Mountain". And because she's half elf, she has quite a long lifespan."
"Wow, a half elf and half dwarf, I never thought that could be possible." Celeste was surprised. "Well, I wonder what we can earn from her?"
"All sorts of hexes, alchemy, crafting, and golem creation, which are essential for all three of you girls." My mom said.
"W-What about Zephy?" I asked. "You're not leaving him out, right?"
"He will come with me, and your father will accompany you." My mother had everything planned. "After around eight to twelve months, we'll meet again… Is that okay with you?"
"Well… we'll live for much longer than a couple of months but I think I'll miss you a lot." I sighed, feeling a bit sad, but I had to bear with it. "But if that's necessary… I think I can do it."
"I won't see daddy in that long?!" Zephy started to cry right away. "Uwaah… Daddyyy…!" He quickly ran towards father's embrace.
"Hahaha, I never thought you'll miss me that much! Calm down… There, there." My father laughed a bit. "You'll have fun with your mother, calm down. It will be fine. Once she comes back, we'll go together to meet my family! How about it?"
"W-Wow, really?!" Zephy was shocked.
"The Mercenary Family where you come from, Allan?" My grandfather asked. "Hmm, I've heard a lot from the Firebrand Family, a prestigious family of mercenaries who has birthed the strongest human warriors out there. They're well know for their red hair, which both Sylphy and Zephy have inherited."
"Indeed, father-in-law." My dad said. "I think they're a good family, so I need my children to meet them and learn from them, especially my father and my mother, both master of the sword and of fire magic."
"Hmmm, I approve of such decision. I think it will be enlightening for the kids." My grandpa said. "Though… I wonder if it could be possible for one day to invite them over?"
"W-Well, I don't know about that…" My father said. "They wouldn't really like to come over from so far away… Ahh, but I'll try my best to convince them!"
"Thank you." My grandpa nodded. "Hector Firebrand, your father… He's well known for being an incredible Master Swordsman, I would like to meet him one day, and clash blades with him." Grandfather smiled for once.
"Seriously…" My mother facepalmed.
