GODMOTHER

VINOT, a prosperous village under the rules of Magnus Maer Duchalstaine, which was part of The Radovier County, situated in the southern region of the Great human kingdom,PALENTIONS. At the village Mathew and Niela were well known for their skill and helpful nature so as usual villagers known Adlas, as blind boy with white hair but what they didn't know Adlas that he possess dragon's eyes. If anyone found out about this secret they would be hunted down for rest of their life so they decided to introduce Adles as a blind boy and make him ware blindfold, if anybody asks about his blindness they always provided the same answer " An accedent in the forge, carelessness from there part and blindfold to hide the nasty burn marks etc etc. " But the truth was when Adles was one year old these eyes manifested and his parents was unsure about the reason behind it but one thing they are sure that this eyes would caused fear in people's hearts and Adles was stared to realize that from there parents reaction.

Now he was currently in the process of gouging his own eyes but suddenly he removed his hand from his eyes frustrated and said "What if I'm born with these weird eyes? it's not my fault. Even if it's a curse I'm gonna live with this curse."

Then Adles didn't waste any more time thinking about his weird eyes, he wrapped himself with a bedsheet his eyelids felt heavy and he started to fall asleep.

In the morning, adles woke up by the knock on the door. He sensed Niela on the opposite side of the door, he asked her after yawning lavishly with a sleepy voice " Yes mother? "

Niela replied "adles, breakfast is ready you should fresh up and come down as quickly as possible, we will be leaving soon"

Adles suddenly realized that they were going to leave for the Eskon, so he jumped down from the bed while shouting " I will be down there in a minute"

"Okay," Niela replied, while adles were getting ready she came downstairs and asked Mathew "How are you going to fix that Crack on the table??"

"I don't know" Mathew replied while shaking his head hopelessly

Niela sighed and said "Then we have to come up with an excuse to tell Adles"

"And you, you should have controlled strength"

Niela rolled her eyes towards Mathew. His face was sunken by the fears of Niela's wrath.

Then they heard knocking on the front door then suddenly with "baam" the door was broken by the immerse force of gushing wind.

Mathew didn't waste any time, he grabbed his sword which was right beside him, and unsheathed the sword to attack the person who forcefully trying to enter the house.

Then Mathew observed and recognized the figure, he hurried and bent on his knees.

Watching her husband's kneeling, Niela didn't waste any moment she also kneels. Niela was aware of her husband's personality, he never kneels to someone, if he was giving respect to someone then that person was deserving of that respect too.

They heard the sound of heels slowly walking toward them. A Shallotte revealed herself from the smoke.

a gorgeous-looking woman with a stunning physic with long black hair, red lips, and brown eyes appears, the red dress she was wearing increased her beauty tenfold. She was the same age as Mathew but her presence and the pressure she was emitting made Mathew sweat and beside her another figure appeared, it was an old man with full body armor and a great sword on the back. That man was the Vanguard known as Jeremy now personal bodyguard of Adlena, Jeremy was appointed as her bodyguard when she was 10 ever since then he stayed by her side, even when she was married to Magnus and came to vinot, Jeremy also came with her leaving behind all the friends and family at the capital.

Adlena came inside the house and didn't even bother to look at Mathew and niela, she covered her face with a folding hand fan and spoke " I knocked two times but you didn't answer so I helped myself in"

Mathew swallowed and spoke, "Lady Adlena, please forgive me for my delayed response but may I ask what brings you here this your humble servant home?"

Adlena didn't bother to reply she continued without giving a glance at them "Where is Adles?"

Mathew replied quickly without wasting any second " he is upstairs getting ready for the journey "

With an unchanged expression, Adlena started to climb and stood in front of adles's room door. She knocked two times on the door when she was about to flick her fan, Adles opened the door and kneeled to show her respect but Adles was interrupted by Adlena, who grabbed Adles and hugged him tightly while rubbing her chick on his chick. Her personality completely changed from a few minutes ago, previously she was clod as ice but now she was warm and gentle.

"It's been so long since I saw you, I have missed you so much" Adlena spoke while She buried adles's head in her chest.

Adles gently pushed her and freed himself from her strangle, while breathing heavily he spoke "It's only been three days, by the way, what brings you here??"

" oh my, it's already been three days, it feels so long" She spread her hands to try to hug Adles again but Adles dodged her to avoid her strangling.

Adles asked her again "You didn't tell me why are you here? GODMOTHER"

Adlena with a pout face looked at adles, then she got up and sat on the bed, pointing adles to sit beside her. Adles did as she asked.

Then Adlena waved her hand and a wooden box appeared out of thin air, she grabbed the box and looked at adles. She saw curiosity in his eyes then she heard him.

"Wow, how did you do that, creating a wooden box out of nowhere"

Adlena chuckled and replied "I didn't create it, I just simply took it out from my inventory ring"

Adlena showed adles a green color ring on her index finger, with a bright smile Adles asked "It's so cool, I want a ring like that too"

" Of course, I will get you one, when you are old enough but right now I want to show you something else "

Adlena opened the box and it contained a red silk ribbon which had golden color spiral patterns embroidered designs on it. She handed the ribbon to Adles and told him "This is for you, to use as a blindfold."

Then She gently rubbed Adles chicks and continued " I'm really sorry to let you cover your beautiful eyes but your eyes are emitting an aura which is hard for normal people to detect but the High Eskoleast and many Palentine with keen senses will be present at the Eskon. Who can easily detect your eyes so this ribbon will seal that aura and make your eyes unnoticeable, so I want you to wear this for your own safety. You understand that right"

Adles were not happy about the gift he received, he was already insecure about his eyes and even last night his father and mother fought because of these dame eyes, and now his godmother who named him after her name also wanted to cover his eyes.

Adlena realized what was going on in his head so, she put on a cheerful smile and told adles "If you use this ribbon as a blindfold I will make you an inventory ring"

" What? Really an inventory ring " A spark lit up in adles eyes.

"Yes, when you come back from the Eskon I will order a craftsman to make an inventory ring for you"

Then Adles didn't hesitate, he grabbed the ribbon, covered his eyes and with a charming smile he asked Adlena how he looked Adlena chuckled, pinched adles's chick and replied "Very handsome "

But Adles realizes that his sense has decreased drastically, previously he can sense far and wide but now he can't even sense his mother and father at downstairs. Now His sensing radius shortened to 10 meters. Adles don't have problems moving around but this feeling is kinda new to adles.

"Now, pull off your blindfold with your left hand"

Adles did what she asked, when he pulled off the blindfold with his left hand, the ribbon wrapped around his left hand like a snake and created a gauntlet and a golden embroidery rearranged themselves and the spiral pattern appeared on the back of his palm.

"Now, then think about the shield"

Adles closed his eyes and imagined a shield structure, suddenly ribbon as the gauntlet started to rearrange itself to create a round-shaped shield that was directly attached to the gauntlet.

"Well, then that's done, how about we try out something, let's try to grab the jug on the table with your glove, ribbon or ribbon glove, whatever it is ?"

Adles didn't waste any moment he stretched out his left hand in a few seconds, three ribbon heads detached from the gauntlet and wiggled around his hand then suddenly stretched out and moved towards the jug like an aggressive snake hunting for his pray with "baam" those ribbons destroyed the table while wrapping themselves around the jug, it has so much pressure that iron jug got twisted, not only that the table also gets destroyed in the process.

"Oh my, I think you need more practice" Adlena commented while looking at the table's situation, but adles with a smile at the corner of his lips and a spark in his eyes spoke slowly "Cool"

She looked at adles's smile for a few seconds then told him to take that off from his hand.

Adles grabbed the edge of the ribbon at the elbow and started pulling. The ribbon came off easily without any trouble and turned back into normal red clothes like it used to be.

"So, basically if you used your left hand then it turns itself into the gauntlet and if you use your right hand it will act as a normal ribbon" Adlena explained it to Adles.

Adles nodded and told her " ok, simple I get that. I need to control my precision and regulate the power input"

Adlena knows very well that Adles wasn't like a normal average kid, he was a very quick learner doesn't need to say something twice. It's been two months since Mathew started teaching him about basic combat arts, now He can easily beat any kid in the village or a Rattadog single-handedly.

"Correct, but there is another thing about this ribbon, you should know this is a small piece of a FORGOTTEN WEAPON if you use it as your blindfold nobody can pull it off from your face and so your secret will stay as a secret"

" Forgotten weapon?" Adles asked Adlena curiously.

Adlena shrugged and said "Don't ask me. I'm a baroness not a book-digesting scholar like my husband, I don't have closest idea what are this Forgotten weapon. What purpose did they serve? Or how many exist in this world? But one thing I know is people will kill to get their hands on it."

"Then how did you have this?" Adles asked.

" oh don't sweat about it " She waved her hand casually while saying " Magnus just bought this for Mazarinre, a gift before her departure."

" what? It's a Mazarine farewell gift and you.." Adlas was interrupted by Adlena.

" before you jump to any conclusions, I want to tell you that I traded this cloth with her, by the way, she was just going to use it as a band, it's better off with you."

' what difference it would make, I am going to use it as blindfold ' adles thought about it and shook his head and asked Adlena "What did you trade with her?"

" an inventory sack" she answers Adles quarry and continues " She was glad to have a potable inventory rather than having an old torn ribbon" and she started laughing menacingly.

Adles looking at the red clothes in his hand and thought of Mazarine, with her blue hair and golden yellow eyes this ribbon would suit her.

Mazarine, two years older than adles, the only daughter of Magnus and Adlena, princess of the vinot, was leaving for the Star Academy a prestigious school in all kingdoms, not many get selected by the school counseling board only a special few, and she was one of them.

Adles thought process was broken by the " baam" sound that came from downstairs.

Adlena stood up and spoke with an irritated tone "Dame hooligans have started dancing, I have to stop them before they cause any more Destruction "

Before she left adles asked her with a saddened expression " Is it OK to give me this priceless thing? I mean is mazarine..."

Adles was interrupted by the gentle hug Adlena and she started to speak politely while embracing adles "Don't worry Adles, both of you are my child and I love you both, although this cloth is priceless, it is not as precious as you and it will be more useful to you then mazarine."

A few moments later, Adlena heard metal colliding sounds from downstairs " I had enough" She commented irritatingly.

She stood up after kissing adles on the forehead, she wanted to stay for a while but the clashing sound of the metal made her irritate so, she left the room and in a few seconds downstairs became very quiet, adles heard Adlena's serious voice.

Adles didn't waste any more time, he started packing and getting dressed for their visit to the Eskon.
