Chapter 2 Bound

I crouched down and tried to lift the stick. The stick was a meter long and difficult to lift. It was necessary to raise the upper and lower ones with the wind. Dad always says it's easy, but only when management becomes a habit. Before that, you will need to learn how to manage the wind correctly. After I can remove air resistance, I can be considered an entry-level mage. But I still have a couple of years to grow up before that.

Until the evening, everything was very boring. I was just practicing. But in the evening, my mother said that I would go to my father. When I arrived at the place, dad had already prepared everything necessary for the ritual. Next to him stood Eldos with the horse.

-You're here already? Great, we can start the ritual. First, get in that circle. -he pointed to one of the 2 circles.-Eldos, put the horse in the circle.

-Yes, -he said, and left the horse in the circle. -You can start.

-Ok. -Dad said and picked up 2 beautiful little sticks, their ends were pointed and had a white color. They looked the same. -Jomart, stand in a circle.

-Yes,- I Said, and stepped into the circle. The circle was small, about a meter long. It looked like it was made of blood. Standing in the circle, I felt as if my soul had a connection with something higher.

-Alright. Now close your eyes. Well done. Eldos, take the second bounding spike.- he said.

-Don't worry, everything will be fine. Don't be afraid and don't make any sudden moves okay?

- Y-Yes.

After a short silence, I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

- Aaaaaaaa. -I shouted at the top of my voice

"Eeeeeeeeeee-Looks like my horse did the same.

"I, Nurbek Imanbayev, seal the blood contract between these two. Let them be bound for the rest of their lives. I ask the Overlord of the Air to be a witness and give a blessing to their connection.

…

After his words, everything turned Blue. I felt like I was in the sky. There were only clouds below. There was nothing around. But then, the air began to gather and take on a white color, forming a huge silhouette, completely white with blue eyes. He looked at me and grinned. His body became more and more robust, if at first he looked like a long skinny man, then in a couple of seconds he was already a pumped-up into healthy man. But then he began to change again and again the skinny body began to acquire female features, and in a couple of seconds it became a woman and her face changed every second, and again it was changed a man, then a woman. It began to speak.

-So you're the one who got our blessing? I wonder if you did better than the others. I think in 5 years you will already be worthy. In the meantime, I think I can give you a gift. Hehe. -As soon as it said that, a small piece of white came out of it. It entered my body without resistance, as if it belonged there. During the conversation, the creature's voice also changed from female to male. Just now I noticed that white balls were coming out and entering from his body -Okay, so why did you come here? Aah, I see I see. Well. I, the Overlord of the Wind, recognize your contract of blood, but you will be bound for the rest of your days! Your souls will be inseparable, and you do not have the right to terminate the contract in any case! -He said grandly. -I think I'll have time to talk some another time. Don't disappoint me, Jomart. -When he said *I'll have time*, his body took the form of a man in his 40s. He was smiling a big smile and looking at me expectantly. The moment I wanted to ask what you expected from me, I felt like I was falling from the clouds, back to earth. My consciousness began to leave me. Before I lost consciousness, I heard the words.

"Good luck, my dear descendant. I hope that you will achieve a lot.

...

- Crack-t here Was a sound like a stone breaking.

-What? How is this possible? The contract is not signed? No, this means that the contract cannot be terminated! The overlord himself accepted the contract and took the initiative to become the one supporting it? Jomart. Jomart! Tell me, did you see something?

- Mmm? - I said, only coming to my senses. My neck still hurt. -Yes, I was in the sky. There was someone white, with blue eyes. He called himself the Overlord of the Wind.

-Have you seen the Overlord? This is incredible! My son. Tell me, did he say something about a contract?

-He said that he accepts the contract, but he also said that we are bound for the rest of our lives.

"..."My father was speechless.

-Is this something special? Doesn't he have to show up in person to accept the contract?

-No, one of his assistants is responsible.

-Who are these assistants?"

- Great people, after death they go to his plan. In his world, they live forever. Helping him in everything.

-Wow.

-Okay, we'll talk about this later. First of all, what will you name your horse?

-Hmm.

-Take Your time, think about it for now. I need to help the guys hunt red wolves.- After saying this, dad left.

After about two minutes, I was able to get up. My neck still hurt, but I think it's nothing, surprisingly there is no wound, probably will pass in a couple of hours. While I was thinking, my horse came up to me. I feel connected to him, and it's very, very comforting. When I tried to Pat him on the head, he didn't do anything, just moved closer to me. I think if I climb on him now, he lift me up. When I got on top of him, it felt like I could know where he was going and he could know where I wanted to go. At first it was uncomfortable to walk, but after that we slowly started to walk well. He began to understand my desires and began to follow my desires, and I in turn began to understand his thoughts.

After a couple more minutes of training in each other's concepts, I began to think about what to call it. I had to think for a long time, in my opinion, calling it a blunder is not good. I need his name to show his importance to me. After more than 40 minutes of thinking, I finally came up with the perfect name.

- Janarys(1)! Your name is Janarys.

- Rrrrr-Zhanarys whinny in assent. He seemed to like the name.

-Let's go home my friend.

...

When we got home, my mother saw us and smiled.

-So the ritual went through? Leave him in the pound. Let him lie down and rest for a while.

- Yes, mom. By the way, I'll take a grazing stick for a while

-Alright, but come it back later.

-Of course.

Taking a stick, we went to the corral. I put it inside and started training nearly. Suddenly, everything was easier. Manipulating the air became as easy as breathing. I decided to ask my father about it when the time came. In the meantime, I'll try to remove the air resistance.

I put myself in a fighting position and swung the stick with all my strength.

-Whoosh! - came the sound. Now I will try to remove the resistance. How is this can be done?

According to dad, you need to wrap some mana around the item. We wrap it with mana, weakly, but enough that it absorbs and suppresses wind resistance. If you wrap the mana correctly, there will be no resistance of the air, if you make a mistake in wrapping, the mana will break. If the mana is in the arrow wrapped incorrectly, it will greatly slow down the projectile and most likely cause the arrow to deviate from the target. I weakly wrapped the stick in mana and swung with all my strength.

-Swoosh-Although weak, but I felt the torn mana slowed down the stick. . Then I wrapped her in mana a little stronger.

- Swoosh- more stronger.

- Swoosh- Maybe weaker?

-Swoosh-sounds quieter? And mana isnt torn.

-Swoosh-Yes, quieter, I'm on the right track.

-Swoosh-No, the mana is torn. Weaker then.

- Swoosh- Yes. It's more quieter now than before.

Swoosh -Well, Yes, I'm definitely on the right track.

"Swoos -Hum, a little harder.

- ...- Did it work? It worked! I jumped with happiness. Hurray! I can be considered an entry-level mage! Yeah!

-My congratulations son - a Voice interrupted my celebration.

- Dad! Did you see that? I could, I could remove the resistance! I'm an entry-level magician! I said excitedly.

-I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. This is amazing. - Father scratched his head -I Think it's finally time for me to give you personal lessons.

1-Janarys-the Name consists of two words. Jan means close, sweet and soul. Arys means Support. Literally, it can be translated as Soul Supporter.
