As I neared Wulf's estate, I spot Hodor and Wulf immediately, as they both stood at the least a head or more taller than normal tall men, making tall men not look so tall with their giant frames….

"Young Jon, good to see you on this most beautiful of days we are having today, How are you?" Wulf spoke, greeting me and speaking on how good the weather was today, before asking me how I was doing….

"I am bored, I know I was meant for more than this…. I wish to become your student like Hodor, I do not want to live in the castle anymore…." I replied, answering him with honest words describing how I felt, before declaring my wish to become a student of Sensei Wulf….

"Bow and call me sensei, you are welcome here Jon and I would be more than honored to be the teacher of the 'Prince of Ice and Fire…." Sensei Wulf responded, answering my question fulfilling my wish, whilst mentioning something about a prince….

"Sensei Wulf…." I spoke and called Wulf by the title he asked me to, if I wished to become his student and learn his ways, whilst bowing a most respectful of bows, copying the bow I've watched Wulf give himself….

"Haha, excellent…. You will have a room of your own to shelter and reside within if you wish, upon completion of the main-residence which will be completed very soon…." Sensei Wulf laughed then replied, informing me I could move here once he was finished building it, granting me all I asked….

"Thank you Sensei Wulf, do you need any help?" I answered Sensei Wulf whilst bowing once more, before asking if there was anything I could do to help….

"We actually just finished with the plumbing, we were about to get something to eat for lunch-time, come join us the food will be to your liking…." Sensei Wulf said, speaking about plumbing, a word I was not familiar with, before mentioning eating and telling me to join them….

"Thank you sensei, I would be honored to join you all…." I replied, answering immediately before I could even think about it, with this being the first time I was invited to eat and break bread with someone other than family….

After the noon-time meal, Hodor reminded Wulf about 'Wood-Style from 'Naruto, so Jon, Hodor, and Wulf entered the area of cleared-space where a stage of hardened and packed earthen-soil sat, that Wulf uses as a training ground, when he trains his system-skill….

"Water and Earth combined should produce Wood-Element, all I have to do is figure out the right ratio or formula to achieve Wood-Style using the two of the four basic-elements…." I spoke, explaining to Jon and Hodor what I was trying to accomplish here, as they joined me on my training-stage as I have monikered it so….

Over the two-weeks I have been training my system-skills daily, I have amassed much experience in my skills, favoring Earth-Control and Fire-Control the most so far….

The experience-points required for me to upgrade or level-up from my starting level-two in most of my skills, to the next level of level-three is two-thousand experience-points….

I only have so much mana to spend daily, even though I absorb ambivalent-mana from my environment naturally with each breath I take, my mana-core only regenerates so fast, even if I enter a meditation-state the process to fully refill my mana-reserves takes a full hour compared to the eight-hours it would take without meditating to fully regenerate….

"It makes sense, sensei that Earth and Water would make Wood, we water crops in the fields and it makes them grow from the soils…." Jon stated, with all seriousness but with a lot less gloom and doom to his voice, now that he knows he will be free from Lady Catelyn soon….

"Indeed, but if the ratio is not right, I could end up with a Mud or Swamp-Element, therefore I must experiment and try out different amount of each element, til I have the correct or best formula…." I responded, speaking on the need for having the right amount of Earth-element and Water-element when I attempt to combine them to create a new compound-element….

The 'Elemental-Control skills the Messenger Of The Old-Gods System have given me absolute control over the four basic elements, giving me quite the arsenal of different possible elements, I could produce and learn to master by combining the different elements in different proportions, combining them in different ratios or formulas….

Earth-Element provides me with defense or sturdiness, among being a element that can be used in many other utilities or ways….

Fire-Element which focuses on pure damage-output or destruction, whilst also being a element that can be used in many ways….

Water-Element being a element that specializes in mostly healing, whilst being a sort of support-type element in itself….

Last but most certainly not least we have the Wind-Element, which is a very versatile element, providing many supporting-utilities, whilst being a element that can be used for offense as well as defense, among other uses like movement and whatnot….

"Would water and wind combined make ice?" Jon asked suddenly, surprising me with how quickly he caught on to how it works….

"Those are indeed the two elements required to create Ice-Element, you would have to find the proper amounts of each element when you attempt to combine them of course…." I answered him, confirming his thoughts about how to create ice, something that is done with just a thought and a wave of my hand, but would take many moons for anyone else to be able to accomplish, whilst requiring my teachings to even begin getting started into the art of 'Elemental Martial-Arts, which is what I have decided to moniker or call the special and magical-abilities my system has given me, granting me powers to control the very elements that make up life itself, giving me god or omniscient-being like powers….
