A boy could be seen moving out of the misty area. He wanted to have Wyvern Farm under him, but he didn't feel that it was necessary to use this method. This place is going nowhere; he can return after getting stronger and taming them all.
As he was moving back, he met the other shadow creatures. He saw that the Skinks priest had also transformed into a completely new creature. He tasked her with scouting the area ahead and finding out the location of the nearby Lizardman tribe. He then took a shadow weaver and sat on his back to comfort himself.
He was fascinated by this type of situation, which is why he wanted to raise them. This species was the one he found with the best potential and variety. He had used 'Inspect' on a wyvern and found that it could be evolved into many evolutions, and each one of them was fascinating.
Instead of destroying this layer and then working for dozens of years to raise them to smaller numbers, wouldn't it be better if he waited for some time before taming each one of them together? Now that he could get the key to move in and out of this realm freely, this place was a beast for him to raise wyverns.
Instead of eliminating them all and turning them into shadow creatures, raising them as they are was better. This way, he would be able to have a large variety of them, which would make him rule the Beast Mount industry easily. The wyverns that other Beast Tamers raised were also not of the best quality; they were just slightly better than those raised by the Skinks tribe.
It was not that there were no companies, guilds, or organizations that didn't have high-quality mounts. It was just that their price was so high that only the wealthiest could obtain them. He was not ignorant enough to believe that others couldn't raise powerful Beast tribes.
It was just that the area he was in right now didn't have many people who could raise multiple good-quality mounts. This was an opportunity for Rishi. This would be his main goal; he only wanted a capable and trustworthy trainer right now.
While he could do that himself, he had a lot of things to take care of. The price of a trained mount is way higher than that of one that is not properly trained. Rider-class warriors prefer to have trained mounts. This was all for the future; for now, he had to focus on reaching the Epic Stage; until then, it would be useless even if he could raise wyverns, as powerful people could target him.
He had learned early that a treasure is useless if you can't protect it. The only thing it will bring is envy for others. This was how society worked; people didn't dare show envy too much. Everyone targeted people below them in the hierarchy.
As he was moving through the clouds, he took out the black book given to him by Raven. It had 'Basics of Shadow Rune Incribing Style'; he opened it and started reading it. This was very interesting, as he learned from it that there were different styles of rune inscription. At first, he learned by himself, so he didn't have any style.
When he joined the rune class in the academy, he learned everything from the basics again. At that time, he was taught the common style of rune inscription. Now that he has discovered this new style that uses shadow elements and magic runes as one, he thought it would perfectly fit him, but the way to inscribe and create a rune was very different.
He could draw Runes multiple times faster when using Shadow Style, and his speed would increase further while inscribing on Shadow Surface. It also gave other boosts to the rune created by this style if they were suitable for it. He also learned the runes that he should use while using this style.
They were similar to the regular runes; the only difference was that they were three times more detailed, and their effect and ability to merge were very high. It made them very suitable for creating magic arrays and formations, and while that was also useful, the things in which this medium truly shined were while inscribing shadow puppets or creatures.
The more he learned about it, the more impressed he became with the art of rune inscription. Soon the wyvern reached the shelter, and he had to climb down its back and stop. He entered the shelter with his sadness, but it was then that his eyes fell on Kajal, who was preparing lunch. He approached her from behind and watched what she was preparing.
She had already noticed him the moment he came back. She looked at his face and asked, "Why such an expression? Did you fail to find Wyvern Lair?"
"It's not that; I found it," replied Rishi with a conflicted smile.
"What happened then? Did you succeed in stealing some eggs?" she asked, looking at the pot and pan in front of her and checking if the food was prepared.
"I had to come back empty-handed," he replied.
She approached and consoled him like he was a kid as he explained everything in detail: "You did the right thing. It's not right to separate small babies from their mothers. You can find other beasts; there is no need to worry."
A confident smile appeared on his face as he looked into her eyes and said, "I don't give up after something has piqued my interest. It will take some time, but I will soon make that whole lair mine."
They discussed more things before Rishi asked, "What happened to the Wyrm you contracted?"
"It is recovering faster; I will start to train it soon," she replied excitedly.
"That's good; just never reveal its grade to other people. Even though your clan might not have more than two of them, it would cause unnecessary chaos if others found out." He said it in a concerned tone.
"I already know that; do you think I am dumb?" replied Kajal as she faced him.
"It's not that; it's just that I have heard that girls are not good at keeping secrets," said Rishi.
"Who tells you such useless facts? Do you read them online, or are your friends responsible?" Kajal replied as she extinguished the fire and brought the food to the table. Rishi didn't say anything further.
They both calmly had their lunch while discussing their future plans. Rishi asked Kajal to leave early. Everything would start becoming chaotic in a few more days. Kajal saw how serious he was and decided that she would leave early.
Rishi wanted to send Kajal away; this would help him go all out without any concerns. He didn't want her to get caught up in the big battle that was about to take place. It would be something very fierce, and it might be hard for him to escape in serious condition.
