A/N: Suggest a title for the chapter...I don't know what to na it.
"She has grown a lot."
The man who entered the room of the Patriarch comnted. He was wearing a full black business suit with a red tie, His hair was abyssal black and his eyes seed lifeless.
He took the seat Sabrina sat on previously and placed his briefcase on the table before asking.
"No tea for Father?"
This man was Jas Wellington, The second son of Hugo Wellington, The younger brother of Sabrina's father and also her uncle. And a fellow user of the dark elent as well.
".."
Hugo Silently poured his son another cup of tea.
"Sabrina sure has grown splendidly."
He comnted once again. He hadn't received a response after all.
"Yes, she has."
Hugo smiled as he said. But this smile was only on the outside. Hugo was having mixed thoughts.
'What does he want?'
"I want to inform you of the deal about the spatial rings."
It was as if he had read Hugo's mind. Jas took a sip of his tea, relishing the exquisite taste.
"Maragur Tea Leaves, each costing one hundred thousand studs. Quite expensive."
He comnted as his tongue figured out the tea leaves used in making the tea.
"Nothing to us though, isn't it?"
Hugo smiled. Jas responded absentmindedly.
"Yes, nothing to our wealth."
Hugo stopped smiling and asked him about the details of the deal.
"The Spatial rings are blowing up. We don't have enough stock to keep up. Only a few were made, and Twilight isn't sending any more. The one known as Maxwell is quite talented. And annoying."
"Ho?"
Hugo was amused. This emotionless son of his called soone annoying and talented? This was my first. This was amusing…
"Yes, act surprised all you want. But that bastard sure knows business."
Said Jas, Maxwell was truly one of a kind. To have dealt with this monster.
"Twilight will be unable to produce more Spatial rings because the manufacturer Alan Peccator is recovering from his injuries. And is out to train as well. Sir Oliver himself escorted him to this 'training ground'."
"How many do we have in stock?"
"67."
"That's low…"
"Yes, It was quite a hassle convincing our custor's to wait more. I had to cancel a lot of pre orders as well."
Jas explained emotionlessly. It seed as if he was unable to express any emotion at all.
He seed to be husk but not at the sa ti.
"Leave this discussion."
Hugo ordered. And Poured themselves another cup of tea.
Jas nodded and changed the topic.
"What about Micheal?"
He asked. Hugo's expression contorted when he heard Ja's utter the na of Sabrina's father.
"Wouldn't you be glad nothing happened?"
Hugo cooked. His voice contained a hint of hostility.
"Hardly, I would appreciate it if he ca back. I am not the gifted leader he is. The only thing I'm good at is Business."
"Sigh…"
A sigh escaped Hugo's mouth. What was he even getting angry over here?
He knew Ja's actually would prefer if Micheal ca back. He had no interest in leading the family after all. However, he was devoted to the Family…just his devotion was twisted.
Anything for the family. Anything.
That was his motto. He would do anything so that the family would prosper.
He was always like this, Hugo adored both of his sons…if only…if only…
He paid more attention.
"Don't."
"..."
Ja's words silenced Hugo.I think you should take a look at
"Don't bla yourself. I enjoy this."
Hugo wanted to laugh at his words. The power of Darkness around Jas's was thick.
"Do you really?"
Hugo questioned. He knew the answer but still he questioned.
"Do you really enjoy it? Being aware of what you have done?"
"It was all for the family."
Jas argued back lifelessly. Completing his tea.
"..."
Hugo remained silent. Jas stood up and began to leave.
"Excuse Father, I have business to attend to."
As he was leaving, Hugo ordered him.
"Sabrina's birthday is coming up. Make Ample preparations."
Jas turned around and bowed.
"Yes, I will make it my utmost duty that the Jewel of Wellington has a luxurious birthday."
He opened the door with his own strength, using the power of Darkness to aid him. He was the only one in the entire estate who could do it alongside Hugo.
"Do you really regret nothing?"
Hugo's heavy voice resounded, and Ja's turned back once again.
"You have asked this question every ti Father."
The door started to close. And just as it was about to close…Ja's said.
"No. I do not regret anything."
It is for the family.
The door closed before Ja's could finish his words, But Hugo knew what he was going to say. He had said this many tis before. And his senile old mind still asked that question every ti.
"Sigh…"
Hugo rested his head on his chair and lanted at himself.
He was such an optimistic, joyful young man…until he used that elent.
Chaos was not the only elent capable of corruption.
***********
[Inside Sabrina's room.]
Sabrina gazed at a lustrous crystal Orb with tired eyes.
That was the reward for completing the Quest, her contribution.
She checked the orbs' status. She was busy all this ti and never had the chance to do so.
[tem Na: Essence Infused Mana Orb (Rarity: S )
Description: The Essence Infused Mana Orb is an item that exudes an ethereal glow, pulsating with raw arcane energy. This orb is a concentrated reservoir of mana, the lifeblood of magic, radiating imnse power within its srizing core. Crafted by the most skilled enchanters of the ancient realms, this legendary artifact holds the potential to transform an ordinary adventurer into a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Properties:
Vast Mana Reserve: The orb contains an abundant quantity of mana, brimming with pure, untapped magical energy. Its capacity dwarfs that of typical mana crystals or potions, granting the wielder an extended duration of heightened magical abilities.
Mystic Empowernt: When grasped or equipped, the Essence Infused Mana Orb channels its mana into the user, infusing them with enhanced spellcasting capabilities. This augntation bolsters the potency, range, and effectiveness of spells, granting the caster unparalleled mastery over arcane forces.
Regenerative Aura: The orb emits a gentle, soothing aura that gradually replenishes the wielder's mana pool, ensuring a steady stream of magical resources during prolonged battles. This unique ability allows for persistently unleashed spells, minimizing the risk of sudden energy depletion.
Versatile Adaptability: The Essence Infused Mana Orb adapts to its user's magic affinity, seamlessly harmonizing with any school of magical practice. Whether one leans towards fire, water, or even necromantic powers, this unparalleled artifact accommodates and enhances the user's natural inclination, granting increased efficiency and adaptability in their chosen spells.
Limitations:
Expertise Requirent: Due to the orb's imnse power, it demands a certain level of mastery in magic to access its full potential. Novice or inexperienced spellcasters may find it difficult to harness its unruly potential, resulting in chaotic or unpredictable spellcasting.
Periodic Recharging: Despite its exceptional mana reserve, the Essence Infused Mana Orb is not an endless font of power. It requires periodic recharging through exposure to powerful mana sources, such as ancient ley lines, mystic fountains, or by ans of skilled mana manipulation spells.
Heavyweight Artifact: Its potent mana concentration renders the orb slightly cumberso, featuring a moderate weight that may affect the user's agility or acrobatic maneuvers in combat situations. However, the power granted by wielding this legendary item tends to outweigh this slight hindrance.
Sabrina read the description many tis…but she was too tired to be excited. Indeed the orb was heavy but if she enhanced herself with Mana it was alright. And this artifact was also perfect for her.
Regardless, she put it inside her Spatial ring and laid down on her bed, covering her head with her pillow. Tightly.
[Anything…][Orb of mysteries….power.][Orb of mysteries…powerrr][Anything]
[Anything…][dark child.][Child of Darkness…accept it.]
The voices still lingered in her mind.
[All those that use the darkness, will soon gaze into it, be encroached by it, be deceived by it. Transford into sothing new.
And be corrupted by it.]
