CHAPTER 2

(Adrian POV)

Opening my eyes, I saw myself back on the royal bed from my previous life.

What the hell is going on?

I remembered blacking out after forming my mana core...

I started looking around, confused. Without any notice, the only door in the room, swung open to reveal a worried-looking beautiful lady, with long purple hair, wine red eyes and a beautiful face that may as well have been sculpted by the gods. She wore a purple dress that complimented her hair.

Hurrying over to me, she cupped my face and asked with concern, "Are you okay Adrian? You suddenly lost consciousness. I moved you to your bed".

I was didn't know how to react.I was left with my mouth hanging. It took me a few seconds to process this situation.

I couldn't help but let out few tears. "How are you here...?" I wondered audibly in a daze.

'You were supposed to be dead...Scathach,' I thought, not being able to digest this change in scenery.

Scathach tilts her head, clearly lost at the question. Regaining her composure, she replies, "What do you mean? Today is the announcement ceremony of your right to the throne, crown prince".

My head starts to hurt again. Scathach asks with concern, "Are you okay? Adrian...? Adrian!!!"

I blacked out. Again.

*A WHILE LATER*

[Back To Reality]

With a gasp I woke up. I glanced at my surroundings. I'm back home. My new home in my new life.

*Argh* My head hurts.

Why am I having the dreams of my previous life?

My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden cry, "Adrian, thank god you are alright *sniff* ," Mother/Alice spoke, letting out a few tears.

Adrian: "How long was I out?"

Alice: "You were out for nearly a whole day. *Sniff* I was worried about you and Arthur."

I hugged her. "I'm okay mom...I'm okay. Is Arthur awake?" I inquired.

Alice: "No he isn't,"she said, as her face was regaining it's color.

From the side a groan is heard, and arthur wakes up and says awkwardly and says "Hi... mom i am so- " he didnt get chance to finish as mom in embraced him in a hug and almost crushed him to death. Dad enters the room and saves Arthur, " honey you are crushing him!"

Mom "Oops sorry are you okay baby?"

Arthur: "Yeah I feel better than that ever right now".

Dad walks up to too of us and pulls us into a hug, "I was worried about both of you...But congratulations on making a mana core. That's the first time in history, someone made a mana core this early on in life," he says a bit excitedly.

Mom: "I think you both should rest up bit more. Tomorrow we will have talk," mom says as she walks up to us and kisses our foreheads. She walkes away and closes the door, "Goodnight my babies,"

Me and arthur at same time says "Goodnight mom".

When mother closes the door and walks out, Arthur and I start examining our mana cores. When I try to feel my mana core only darkness could be felt. Nothing else.

Is this my element? Darkness? I have seen many dark mages in my previous life and darkness is one of the most dangerous elements. It could corrupt the user but if used correctly it could do wonders.

Then I ask him about his element. He says he has Wind, Water, Earth and Fire. Four types of elements...my brother is a genius. I say to him, "You should keep it a secret from other people even from mom and dad. This could cause an uproar".

He nods his head, understanding the gravity of the situation. A child, barely 3 years old, is quadruple mage... Insane right?

Then we chatted a bit more before falling asleep.

The next morning when I woke up and went to the main hall. Everyone stops what they were doing and stare at me like I am some zoo animal.

LI ask, "What's wrong?"

Mom came forward and ask, "Is that you Adrian? What happened to your hair?"

I touched my hair, tilted my head and asked "What happened?"

"You should go take a look at yourself in the mirror".

When I got to bathroom, I looked in the mirror and was shocked. I touched my head. My hair had turned black.

'What happened to my hair?'

Is it because of the power darkness? Maybe. Even with dark hair, I look awesome. 'UmU' i nodded at myself while thinking.

*TIMESKIP 1 YEAR*

Over this past year, along with my mother teaching me how to read and write, I have trying out my new powers out like augmentation and mana manipulation.

At first since our body was too small to be sparring, Arthur and I did basic body workouts.

Soon enough, our father decided we would be okay to practice with wooden swords.

When I was meditating and Arthur was reading, suddenly dad came and swung the door open and shouted, "ITS TIME TO TRAIN, BOYS! I HAVE YOUR SWORDS COME ON!"

When we got outside, our father informs, "Now remember what I taught you. Match the flow of mana with your breathing. Just like your heart or lungs, your core is just another organ".

I have better control on mana than Arthur. Because of my previous life I was able grasp it quicker than him.

"Come on boys show me what you got," dad says with a grin on his face .

Dad vs Arthur and I.

Me and arthur got into stance and dashed forward. Arthur goes to the left and I go the right and strike at him at same time but our father easily blocked it and taunted, "Is that all you got? ZEHAHAHAHAHA!!!" with a loud laugh.

I really want to punch that smug face of his.

Arthur and I stop and glance at each other, close our eyes. I took a deep breath and reopened them as I dashed forward with speed twice as fast as before, with Arthur at my side.

As we made contact with the stick dad was holding, under the pressure from Arthur and I, the stick broke and flew away.

I breathed heavily because my body is that of a child and same goes for Arthur. I ask, "Can I go back to my meditation?"

Father, who still hasn't recovered from the shock, absentmindedly nodded, so Arthur and I went back to what we were doing.

I was meditating and Arthur was reading suddenly mom yells, "Arthurrrrrrr~ Adriaaaann~, dinner's ready~".

When we were eating father says, "Honey... I think its time we get Art and Adrian a proper mentor".
