During the next two months, things basically just repeated themselves several tis. Zaos helped Aria until she basically mastered the first level of the enhanced arrows, and his lessons were approaching the end. He also was invited to so parties, and he tried to be friendly, but in the end, he didn't make a single real friend. The reason was that those with whom he talked with always tried to ask him to teach his magic skills that could be used with swords, spears, and bows. Zaos certainly didn't need more students, and he didn't need friends, just wanted to have what he had, either.
Zaos headed toward the castle on a certain day and then asked Aria to show him what she could do. Naturally, the power of her enhanced arrows still wasn't at the level of his, but she made the sa progress he did in like eight years in four months. She really had talent when it cos to magic.
"That is it. You have mastered everything that I have taught you," Zaos said. "Now, if you train daily by yourself, you will eventually reach new heights with your skill. Since you didn't ss up a single ti until now, I am confident that you have the discipline to train by yourself."
"So, there is nothing more you can teach ?" Aria asked.
"Nope," Zaos replied. "What about enhancing your body with magic?"
"It is the sa logic behind enhancing arrows," Zaos said. "I don't believe you need to learn that, but if you want to, you can still learn by yourself."
"So, you that eager to stop spending ti with us, huh…" Aria said.
"That is even colder than usual, even from you," Drannor said.
"Shut up, you were the one who skipped many trainings days walking around the city with girls, not ," Zaos said. "And Aria… do you think that I developed this fighting style by learning from soone? Unless you consider yourself a brat, then you should improve your own skills by yourself. You don't need a teacher to improve what you already know. You just need diligence, focus, and wish for it. If you depend on others to do what you want, you will never be able to achieve anything by yourself."
"I guess you are right… sorry," Aria said. "At least show up now and then to spend ti with us here. Or do we have to go to your house?"
"Absolutely not… I will co now and then," Zaos said. "Well then, see you later."
Although Zaos felt a little guilty in not overseeing Aria progress from that day onward, he already did too much for her. He had his own goals, and he couldn't sacrifice them for her. Aria could understand that, so she didn't complain anymore, but Drannor still seed angry about it, and that really got on Zaos's nerves since the blockhead was always fooling around, and when he returned, he wasn't even a little bit guilty about it.
Regardless, as soon as Zaos returned ho, he resud his research. Most of the symbols of the ancient language have been deciphered by him, and Zaos was about to enter the second stage of it. Thanks to that, he noticed so patterns in how the healing spells were written. All of them basically asked things in the sa way but using different words. The caster had to plead for the skies or for the light or for sothing that seed connected to life. It was really weird since Zaos never heard of anyone worshiping the sky or sothing like the light in that world. Although he wasn't worthy of worshipping since he almost destroyed the entire world once, only the demon god seed like a supernatural force of nature that apparently fit those criteria.
On that sa day, Zaos finished deciphering the symbols, and since he was already at it, he decided to keep going and start phase two of his plan. He began to write spells that sounded similar to the ones he knew, and once they made any sort of sense, he translated them into the ancient language. After that, he morized the formulae and then tried to fill the symbols with mana on his head. However, for so reason, the spells he wrote failed after he filled the first symbols with mana.
"I guess… the symbols have to have so sort of symbiosis with their order," Zaos said. "I can't make these mistakes again, so I guess I will write down the orders where the symbols cannot be activated."
That would increase Zaos workload a little bit. Still, it was better than letting him waste ti and mana with impossible combinations.
"Zaos, it is ti for dinner," Lyra said after she knocked on his door.
"Sorry, mom, but I am not hungry," Zaos said.
Zaos couldn't stop now that he had finally reached the interesting part. Without wasting ti, he tried many different combinations using the symbols and their translations. He could barely describe with words the feeling that he had when he finally found a combination of two symbols that didn't belong to any healing spell that he knew… Zaos felt excited like never before.
Using that sa excitent as fuel, Zaos began to work non-stop. Before he could even notice it, he spent the entire night working on trying to learn a new spell, and in the end, when the sun was finally rising, he made so progress…
