7 Scrolls of the Golden Dragon

KJ's body was still slightly numb due to the pain. His back also started bruising and blistering. Kabal had to change the wraps every now and then so they could remain clean.

Kabal: How are the injuries today, it's been around 2 days since you passed out. All your wounds closed up and they've been getting much better during your time asleep

KJ was laying headfirst into the pillow. He slowly raised his body and sat up with a bit of effort. "The pain has gone down a great amount. Maybe another day and I will be able to walk properly again. I'm still limping and tensing up a bit, Alfin really did a number on me."

Kabal came and sat in front of KJ, "yeah I can see that I don't think I've ever seen you this beaten before."

KJ: Hopefully you won't see me like this again. It doesn't feel good that's for sure.

GULP GULP

KJ gulped down a light green liquid, it appeared to be slightly thicker than milk. "Kabal this medicine you made doesn't taste bad, maybe that chef position will be yours in the future hahaha."

Kabal: Please don't joke around too much, the faster you recover the better it will be for the both of us

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

There was someone knocking on the door to the house. Kabal got up and when he opened the door a blue visage came into view. It was the young, scholar-like Ayla. His gentle voice came into the room.

Ayla: May I come inside; I have business with the successor

Kabal moved to the side and gestured towards KJ, "Come inside, he's over there. Make sure to be gentle, he's not in his best state."

Ayla walked to KJ and gave him a deep bow. "Poseidon's Guardian Ayla is reporting to the successor of The Endless Abyss."

KJ: No need for such formalities, I was never too much a fan of them. Ayla, what have you come so soon for. Also, your treatment towards me seems to have changed a bit

Ayla: I have come to deliver 7 scrolls. Here take them, they are sacred to the palace so keep them safe. As for why I have slightly changed my opinion of you... you are the successor to our King. I respect the King and his choices; I will also show you respect as well. However, all of this is happening too soon. I'm not so sure why he would choose a successor from someone he recently met. Also, these scrolls have been sealed from everyone's eyes except for the Kings and yours. Take your time reading them and do not disappoint the king.

Ayla stuck his pointy nose in the air and took on a regal appearance. "I will be taking my leave now, recover as soon as you can, farewell."

And with those parting words, Ayla marched out of their humble abode and went back to the palace.

Kabal: Any idea what that was about?

KJ: Hmm, it probably has something to do with my training, it must be very important. Only the King has seen the contents of these scrolls before

KJ caressed the golden scrolls. The scrolls had luxurious bright red strings keeping each separate scroll together. "7 scrolls for the 7 golden rings surrounding and containing the Ancestral Golden Dragon. At least that's what I assume, can't know until opening them."

KJ opened the scrolls one by one and laid them out next to each other, a golden light poured out of each scroll, it looked to be something from the mythical heavens. The writing was in thick black ink of some sort and it gave off an ancient, bustling aura.

KJ's eyes twinkled. "Mastering each scroll removes a limiter on the power I can use. Each scroll grants further power and understanding."

KJ: What I should really be focusing on for now are the first two scrolls. Each of the scrolls have names on them corresponding to the name of the scroll and teaching. The first scroll has the name, Thunder Point Strike. This seems to be the way for me to advance to the 1st realm due to your power going out in this realm. With power outages, fast strikes are the best in this realm. If you want a very strong attack it might take time to charge up, if you lose power even for a second, the spirit channel for the attack will be broken. If the spirit channel is broken three things can happen. If the spirit channel is broken or disturbed in the middle of the attack, depending on how bad the disturbance is, your attack will be impacted. The attack will either backfire on the caster and harm them, the attack might be much weaker than it would normally or the last thing that happens is the attack seemingly vanishes or has no power. The spirit channel will need to be recreated to perform the attack properly

Kabal seemed as if he came to an understanding. "Ohhh, that's why your first technique on the path of cultivation should be a quick attack. Something that doesn't take too long so it would lower the chances of your attack failing."

KJ: Yes, but alas, there aren't too many great teachers in the world as of yet, and even if there are, not all of them are taking students. A lot of people you fight may make simple mistakes with their cultivation, make sure to take note of this and capitalize on it during the battle. It can be the difference between life and death
