nAthan came out and saw that Tiana was sitting in the hall, seeing her he said,

" Oh you're here, wait for a few min, I'm going to get something to eat.

" Saying this he went outside without waiting for her response.

n...

n...

nAthan came back and both ate something, before Athan asked,

" So what did you decide? Are you coming or not? '

nTiana looked at Athan and said as she had already thought about it in the last few days,

" I am coming with you.

"

n

" Great, Let's pack our clothes and depart right now.

" saying this, He went into his room and started putting his clothes in the storage ring.

nTiana also went into her room and started packing her clothes in her bag.

nAfter a while, she was done packing and arrived in the hall where Athan was already waiting, seeing that he had no bags with him, Tiana asked with confusion,

" Where is your bag?

"

nAthan smiled and walked towards her before touching his hands on her bag.

n

" What are you doing?

" Tiana was confused but then she saw that her bag suddenly disappeared, her eyes went wide seeing but then she noticed the ring on Athan's hands and understood.

n

" Oh so you bought a Storage ring, But they are very expensive, how did you get it?

"

nAthan said nonchalantly,

" I accepted a request from Guild Hall and it was about capturing an Exceptional Grade 6 flood dragon alive, Which got me this storage ring and few other things as rewards.

"

nTiana nodded hearing that as now she was not surprised by his feat, She had already accepted that Athan is very powerful. After all, she can't deny what she has seen with her own eyes, That Grade 6 Fire Scaled Green Winged Lion got blasted death with his one attack.

nAthan then started walking towards the door as he said

" Let's depart right now, First I'll capture a flying Magical beast so that I don't have to use my Psychic Energy.

"

nTiana also followed Athan as both of them left the house and Athan then extended his hands towards Tiana which she grabbed.

nHe then asked Tiana,

" Do you know where can we find Fire Eagles?

"

n

" We can find them deeper in the Forest on the island, or The forest near Inner Thunder-Fire Vally.

"

nAthan thought for a moment and said,

" Let's go to the forest near Inner Thunder-Fire Valley.

"

n...

n...

nAfter 10 minutes, Both of them arrived at the forest near Inner Thunder-Fire valley.

n

" Go towards the place where there are high temperature and more fire energy, That's where the Fire Eagles can be found.

"

nAthan nodded his head hearing her words and changed direction after sensing more fire energy in a direction.

nThey flew for 5 minutes at a fast speed, and it didn't take long before they encountered A Fire Eagle.

nBut instead of stopping to capture it, Athan shook his head and continued.

nTiana was confused and asked,

" Why didn't you capture it?

"

n

" I want to capture a Grade 6 Fire Eagle, and that was a Grade 5 Fire Eagle.

"

nThe higher the grade, The higher their Capabilities, Obviously Grade 6 Fire Eagle would fly much faster than a Grade 5 one, so Athan was intending to Capture a Grade 6 Fire Eagle.

nAfter 5 more minutes of flying towards a certain direction, They finally encountered a Grade 6 Fire Eagle.

nSeeing it, Athan hurridly hid Tiana after putting her down and sped up towards the Fire Eagle before sitting on its back.

n*Screeeeeee.....*

nThe Fire Eagle already attacked once when Athan was flying towards it but Athan casually ignored it as it was a Fire Elemental attack that didn't even ruffle his hairs.

nAthan then beat it senseless just like the Flood Dragon and then branded his Mark in it.

nAthen then commanded the beast to land and picked up Tiana before flying away.

nThe Fire Eagle is indeed a very a good mount beast, It's speed is faster then Flood Dragon, and sitting is very comfortable on its wide back.

nIts Wing and tail are always on Fire while its other parts are covered with soft feathers.

nWhile flying on it, Athan asked,

" Do you know any place where we can find treasures and also various kinds of the beast?

"

nTiana thought for a moment before saying,

" The one that I know is Forest of Origin, It's a very famous place where people of various factions and Rogue Practitioners go adventuring to find various kinds of natural treasures. The whole forest is so big that no one knows its exact size, After all the forest is also filled with danger with various kinds of powerful beasts.

"

nAthan's eyes shined hearing about such an interesting place,

" Then we'll go there, Do you know its location?

"

n

" I only know the general direction which is north.

", Answered Tiana as shook her head.

nAthan smiled and said,

" Its ok, General direction is enough, for now, We'll stop at some town in the north and ask about the location there.

"

n...

n...

n...

nAfter flying in the north for 6 hours, they finally came across a big town.

nAthan commanded the Fire Eagle to float in the sky and protect Tiana if something happens, After that he said to Tiana,

" I going down to ask the location of the forest of origin, So stay here for a few min, I'll return soon.

nTiana nodded.

nSeeing that she has no problem staying on the Fire Eagle alone, Athan flew down inside the town.

n...

nAfter 5 minutes, Athan returned.

n

" Let's go, I asked the location, and It is very far, We will reach there if we continuously fly for 14 hours.

" Athan said to Tiana after sitting beside her and commanded the eagle to move forward.

n...

nAfter 7 hours, They landed in a town to take a break and ate something before continuing their journey.

n...

nAfter 6 hours, they started to see many people flying towards the forest, Some were flying on their own while some people had a flying mount just like them.

nAfter an hour, they finally saw the periphery of the forest, People were entering on their mount or while flying.

nAthan noticed a few things.

nFirst, People were in either groups of 3, 5, or even 10.

nPeople in groups of 3 or 5 had at least one Elemental Archmage.

nHe saw a group of 5 where 2 elder Elemental Archmage were leading 3 men around the age of Athan, they had similar clothes while two elder Elemental Archmages also had similar cloths, They were most likely from a Top Faction.

nAnd he also saw a group of 10 people who were all Grade 5 entering the forest.

nAll this indicated that The Danger in the forest is not small.

nAthan and Tiana also entered the forest.

nTiana started to get a bit scared and nervous because some people who saw them pointed at them as they shook their heads.

nNoticing this, Athan looked at her and smiled, and spoke with assuredness,

" Don't worry, Nothing will happen, We'll only stay in the periphery of the forest for now as I want to try a new method of casting spells so we will not encounter any powerful beasts.

"

nTiana smiled a little and said,

" That's good...

" But then she panicked a bit and said,

" Wait, that doesn't mean that I don't believe in your ability, I know you are very powerful and can kill Grade 6 beasts easily, Nobody here is a match for you and I also feel very safe when I'm with you, i-i.....

"

nSuddenly Tiana's face turned red as she became aware of what she spoke in the end.

nAthan grinned seeing that and teased,

" Oh...You feel very safe when you're with me?

" Then his face turned deadly serious and said to Tiana while looking at her,

" Well, little girl, you feel that way is given since you saw my ability, It would be strange if you did not feel safe with me.

"

nSeeing the dead serious face of Athan and how he spoke, Tiana started laughing as he looked funny with that speech.

nSuddenly Athan noticed a small commotion.

nHe saw that many people were flying in a certain direction at a very fast speed and seeing that, He also commanded the Fire eagle to follow them.

nTiana also noticed and said,

" Looks like a treasure or something similar must have been discovered.

"

nAthan nodded as he also figured that.

nIt didn't take them long to reach a place where a lot of people were standing on the ground near a big pond, The pond was releasing Water Elemental Energy in dense amount.

nThere were also many people in the sky as they pointed at the lake with excitement.

nAthan neared one of the group to hear their conversation, Along with refinement of body, His senses also became very sharp, so his hearing power was way above the average human.

nThat group consisted of 4 people, 1 elder, 2 men around in the mid-20s, and a girl who was around the age of Athan and Tiana.

nAthan could hear the elder speaking with a doubt in his voice,

" Last time I came here, This pond did not release even a tiny bit of Water Elemental Energy But now it's practically overflowing with dense Water Elemental Energy.

"
