Ethan read the letter Dantalion had delivered to him with a smile on his face.
Once he was done reading the letter, he took out a scroll, intending to write back. However, just as he was about to dip his quill on the ink, he decided to ask the White Raven beside him a question.
“Did you notice anything out of place when you visited them?” Ethan asked as he looked at his Spirit Guide. “Anything that cos to your mind will do.”
“Well, your Grandmother is as healthy as a teenager,” Dantalion replied. “I’m not going to lie. I feel like she might even live for a hundred more years with how active her lifestyle is.”
Ethan chuckled, having the sa opinion as Dantalion. His grandma was old, yet she was still incredibly strong. For that reason alone, he found it hard to imagine her kicking the bucket anyti soon.
“Your grandfather is also doing his best to live a healthy life,” Dantalion comnted. “I talked to him, and he said that he would make sure to live longer so that he could hug his grandkids.
“He’s a man of few words, but he can beco talkative when you are the subject of discussion.”
Ethan smiled. “Still, I didn’t expect that you’re able to talk to other humans through telepathy.”
“I wasn’t able to do it in the past,” Dantalion replied. “I’m only able to do it now because you have beco a very powerful Warl—Wizard.”
The young man nodded. In the past, Dantalion had ntioned that the two of them were connected by invisible bonds. The more powerful a wizard beca, the more powerful their ravens were.
“Would you like to rest for a day before you deliver the letter that I’m going to write?” Ethan inquired as he started to write on the scroll.
“It’s alright,” Dantalion answered. “I will rest after I deliver your letter. I’ve been cooped up in the academy for more than a week, so traveling a bit helps exercise.”
Ethan smirked but no longer said anything.
He just wrote, while Dantalion resud eating the nuts and drinking the water that Ethan had prepared for him.
Half an hour later, Ethan finished writing his letter. He waved his wand over the scroll to dry the ink before rolling it.
After that, he lightly tapped the tallic cylinder on Dantalion’s foot with his rolled up scroll.
The scroll disappeared and was safely transferred to the cylinder, which served as a special storage device made specifically for ravens.
“Fly safe, Dantallion,” Ethan said as he opened his window. “Also, beware of Hipogriffs, Griffins, and Dragons.”
Dantalion nodded before flying away.
He didn’t tell his Master that he had knocked a few Griffins out of the sky because they dared to attack him while he was delivering letters.
The White Raven was confident that even if a Dragon were to block his path, he would still be able to co out of the encounter unscathed.
On the contrary, the theoretical Dragon would not be so lucky.
At the very least, it would know that the next ti it saw Dantalion, it must avoid him like a plague and make sure to not antagonize him a second ti.
Before heading toward the world of the Ordinarius, Dantalion made a detour to Liburgh Town.
It flew past the shops until it saw a Manor where countless ravens could be seen circling above it.
The ravens, who were perched on the roof and the windows, looked at Dantalion and perked up.
“Old Roberts is waiting for you, Leader,” one of the ravens said.
“He’s up to no good, I bet. Make sure to peck him if he does sothing funny,” another raven comnted.
Dantalion was amused by these statents, but since he was in a hurry, he didn't respond and directly entered the Manor through a special passage that only the ravens knew about.
A few seconds later, the White Raven found himself in a valley lush with greenery and life.
In the distance, a giant withered tree stood, and that was also the location where Dantalion was currently headed.
There were no ravens perched on the Withered Tree because they were not allowed to do so.
Only the current head of the Unkindness had the privilege to land on its branches and use its powers to see things from great distances, learning the world through the eyes of others.
“You ca,” Roberts said with a smile as soon as Dantalion landed on the branch of the withered tree.
“It’s been a while, Raven Master,” Dantalion greeted. “I find it strange that you called for . Aren’t you supposed only to be a watcher that records the history of the Magical World? Even if a calamity were to happen, you are not allowed to say or do anything to disrupt the balance.”
Roberts chuckled because the first thing that the White Raven did when it arrived was to give him a lecture.
But Dantalion was right.
He was simply a watcher, so he must not interfere in the grand sche of things.
“But there are exceptions, Dantalion,” Roberts countered. “And I called you here because of that exception.”
“And that is?” Dantalion inquired.
“You are about to make a breakthrough,” Roberts stated. “If you don’t handle this well, you will implode due to the overwhelming magic power that you’ve been holding back for the past few weeks.
“You’re lucky that Ethan is still unable to generate his own magic power and has to rely on others to wield magic. However, things would be different the mont his Magic Core reactivates. You will not be able to handle the load, making you go… boom.”
Roberts even opened his hands dramatically to emphasize the explosion that would happen once Ethan had started to generate his own magic power.
“Enduring it is no good, okay?” Roberts comnted. “Right now, Ethan is safe in the academy. I’m sure that disappearing for a week or two wouldn’t beco a problem. So, co back here after you deliver the letter and inform your Master that you’ll be taking a short vacation to ensure you are well rested before your return.
“This cannot be delayed anymore, Dantalion. You are the current leader of the Unkindness, and keeping you safe is my priority.”
Dantalion reluctantly nodded because Roberts was right.
He had been enduring the influx of power that would wash over his body from ti to ti due to how powerful Ethan had beco.
If he were to beco even more powerful now, then Dantalion would implode, just as Roberts ntioned, which was sothing he would like to avoid at all cost.
The reason why he endured the aches in his body was due to the fact that he was worried that soone would attack Ethan in the academy during the conference.
He had been watching over his Master, ready to act as soon as his life was in danger.
Now that the event had ended, he could prioritize his breakthrough, allowing him to beco more powerful and even take on a human form.
“Understood,” Dantalion replied. “But I will deliver this letter first before telling Ethan that I will be away for a while. He can be a worrywart at tis, so he might feel anxious if he doesn’t see for a week or two. He might even think that I’ve been eaten by Griffins or Dragons.”
Roberts chuckled because he found this very funny.
He would rather believe that the White Raven would eat Griffins and Dragons, rather than he would be eaten by these beasts, who had no idea that the White Raven was truly capable of doing.
