Mercele stares at Rowan in confusion, what do you mean big brother?
Rowan sighs did you not just explain that in your previous timeline, there was a lot of chaos and disorder?
Mercele nods, true.
Rowan gazes at the south and explains, while it is true that our city has been left untouched by the turmoil of other places, and our continent north-Aipizea is quite safe compared to the other 3 continents, it is nonetheless important that we are better prepared because I have been following the latest news reported by adventures, merchants and envoys of others countries passing by the north of Albion, and frankly what I have been hearing is quite disturbing.
In the south of our continent, an invasion by the sea race is taking place and lately, it has been heating up, and the loss of land by the kingdom of Landur in the south of Albion is getting on my nerves.
Furthermore, crime and lawlessness have been increasing by the day as the common people are not able to find work or feed their family and thus have no choice but to resort to thievery and robberies in some cases even leading to murder.
Rowan gazes back at his brothers, Mercele we need a strong man that can stand up and defend the people from upcoming challenges.
And as a former king and man of authority, you are naturally the natural choice in this case, and frankly, as the man with the best accomplishments in the school of magic, only you can adequately protect and defend us and those who we care for in the most direct way.
Mercele stares at his big brother Rowan, and gives an as expected look towards the future famous ''strategist of the north".
Rowan frowns, what are you looking at me like that for?
Merceles smiles, nothing big brother, but you do know we have a lot to do in terms of gathering wealth, training our own forces, and gathering the disciples and soldiers for our upcoming endeavors, right?
Rowan nods, indeed but we have a good starting point, we have a future prodigy of magic, a spymaster, and a powerful general to lead our troops.
Faren confusedly: Who is this general?
Lucas whispers, a spymaster?
Rowan smirks at their question, and naturally, I am going to focus and planning and strategizing our course of action.
Lucas and Faren are looking on in shock at their ''game of thrones'' mentality, but nonetheless are a little bit excited about a future adventure together.
Mercele smiles, alright I am willing to do my best for our future together big brother.
Rowan walks to the center, let us make a vow of brotherhood with a drop of blood. He walks into their house to their kitchen to find an empty bowl, in order to proceed with their vow.
Lucas and Faren smile and walk over despite their confusion about their plans, and Rowan returns with an empty bowl taken from the kitchen in the house.
Mercele, Faren, Rowan, and Lucas each drip a drop of blood in the bowl and speak out loud
"We brothers vow to work as one and defend the prosperity and peace of our future together!"
Perhaps one day many will speak of this momentum day in which four little boys vowed to bring prosperity and peace to a nation yet to be born.
On the second floor of their house, two shadows can be seen watching them with gentle smiles.
The right shadow: It seems our boys have big plans and are willing to work towards a future together.
The left shadow: Indeed, but they will provoke powerful enemies as they establish themselves and your previous family might find out about their origin honey.
Ducan Bluestone smiles back at his beloved wife, don't worry they have long since forgotten about and we faked our death remember?
Sara Bluestone frustratingly pinches his left shoulder, I will never forgive you if something happens to my boys do you understand?
Duncan sighs, did you not hear their conversation honey, we are former master magicians if not because our enemies hurt you so badly how could our boys be lacking the ability to become future magicians.
Sara gazes back at her boys as tears fall down on her cheeks, because of me their path has become more difficult how can I not know that?
Duncan embraces her from behind, your wrong it was all my inability to protect you all.
Sara gently leans in on this man that always takes the blame for all their issues and feels even more guilty about the ordeal, for she understands that her husband is part of an ancient family that did not look favorably on their union, and thus her husband had to endure threats and insults in his life because of her.
Duncan: But it seems our worries are about to solve themselves because our boys are planning their future with great confidence and they also have Mercele to protect them from behind, a prodigy of magic with a terrifying soul of knowledge.
Sara gazes at Mercele in confusion, my youngest son is a future supreme magus?
Duncan laughs, I know what you mean we always thought that Rowan with the brightest mind would lead them and enlighten them on the inner workings of the world, but the terrifying soul fluctuation we saw in Mercele can not deceive us for even my grandfather a magician at the top of this world can not have such a pure and large soul power at his command.
Sara nods, indeed it seems Mercele is hiding a lot of secrets, but it matters not for we have seen that Mercele at the age of 3 years old would even keep a distance from us in order for his family not to worry.
Sara suddenly laughs out of joy, but he does not know quite well understand that his elder brothers love him too much, and they instead would work even harder to shoulder some of his worries.
Duncan nods, indeed these four will one day shock the world and beyond as they rise to the top, all we can do is watch over them until they can spread their wings on their own.
