161 Final Exam (1/2)
After almost sixteen days the time chamber opened again and instead of two, three people came out of it. The man that came with them out says, ”Father where are we?” ”Well, Michael we are in our real home. You should adapt to your new environment before we go and meet your brother and sister-in-law and your nephew and niece. Also, you are older than your brother so you can make him call you older brother if you want,” says Logan and Abigail says, ”Your brother will most likely rip his hair out if you try.”
Michael was taller than Logan but had his hair color as well as a more refined body like Sion. He inherited his mother's blue eyes. He had long hair that almost remembered Logan at Gladio, who he met in the Final Fantasy world. He also inherited almost all of Logan's powers and can use magic. They still don't know if it's Logan's or Abigail's. ”Hmm, another son,” says Shura who appears out of nowhere and continues, ”He has potential. He almost inherited all of your powers. Pretty good. And it seems he was trained well by both of you. It is hard to find him a partner.”
Shura begins to think and Michael asks, ”Who is this uncle?” ”That is Shura your father's ancestor,” says Abigail and Logan says, ”He is also the one who normally gifts you a partner or partners. And a nice weapon that suits you with an armor.” ”Right what do you use normally Michael?” asks Shura and Michael says, ”Either my bare hands or a Halberd.”
”This armor should suit you. It was used before by another traveler like your father before I became Godking. It's the Black Dragon Armor or better said the Black Dragon King Armor. It evolved into it from all the blood it absorbed from all the battles the previous owner had,” says Shura and takes a halbert out of thin air and says, ”This one should suit you too. The Dragon Halbert made out of the soul of four powerful dragons.”
The halbert was completely black with some dragons engraved on it and gems as the eyes of the dragon. Michael takes it and swings it around and says, ”A good weapon.” ”Right, now let's talk about your partners,” says Shura snaps his finger and a baby Behemoth and an egg and says, ”Don't be fooled by their appearance. The first one here is a fierce beast that is in his tiny form and is a women magnet now that it is in this form. The other will hatch in be in his full form. Be surprises it is rather strong-willed so I advise you to form the contract now. And you still have two weeks before you need to depart. I will make an exception to my rule of only taking four people for this last world so you can have your revenge on the wild hunt. See you soon.”
Michael performs the imprinting on both and Logan calls Alduin and tells him to look after the egg while Michael takes the Behemoth in his arm and says, ”Are we leaving. Belmont wants something to eat I think.” Belmont was bitting the armor of Michael that he put on and Logan puts his hand on Abigail's and Michael's shoulder and both appear in front of the house beside the lake. They see Ciri playing with one of the twins while Ray was playing with the other and Logan says, ”How are my grandchildren doing? I hope they are fine.”
”They have far too much energy that for sure and who is the person behind you?” asks Ciri and Ray almost drops his kid from seeing Michael and says, ”No way.” ”Yes, he is your younger brother even if he is older than you by almost ten years,” says Abigail and Ray walks over to Michael and puts his hand on Michael's shoulder and says, ”My condolences.” ”Don't worry brother I'm fine. I just need to adapt to being outside and seeing such beauty everywhere instead of only white,” says Michael while Belmont was playing with Michael's fingers.
”Right, Dumbledore asked when your exam will start,” says Ray and Logan says, ”I will tell him right away.” Logan creates a clone and sends it to Dumbledore to inform him about his exam will begin in two days and will be over three days that they will be gone with all students from 4th grade to 7th grade. Logan takes Logan jr. in his hands and plays and makes him laugh.
Then he changes the babies and plays with Abigail jr. and Michael takes his nephew and puts Belmont down says, ”It's nice to finally meet you.” Logan jr. grabs Michael's fingers with his tiny hands making Michael show a warm smile and Abigail says, ”That's the first time I see you smile since you were six.”
”I just felt happy while holding my nephew. Is father always like this with his grandchildren. He doesn't show it often but he loves all his grandchildren. It's not easy to show it if he isn't staying around them. They could miss him if he gets too attached to them and the other way around. That's why he tries to see them when he can,” says Abigail who wants to take Logan jr. from Michael.
The family celebrated the welcome of three new members into the family the rest of the day and Michael began to sleep on the couch. That was more comfortable than the previous bed he had. Two days pass and all students were assembled in front of Logan's house and Logan opens a portal and says, ”Well then everyone please enter. Once on the other side wait for me. Michael, you go first and protect the students from what could await them on the other side.”
”Yes, father,” says Michael as he passes through the portal. The other followed him as they appear in a place where they were surrounded by walls of stone and even the roof was made of stone and Logan passed through it too as last and says, ”Welcome to the Deep Roads. We are in the Aeducan Thaig right now so we won't meet much resistance here. From here I will take us to a place that is dangerous even if it was reconquered by the dwarves. I want you all to be on alert at every moment since you could die at any moment because of an ambush or worse a horde of Darkspawn. Now I will take a hundred people at a time towards the fortress.”
Logan brings the first batch of students and sees dwarves of the Legion as the hold their weapon against Logan and the students until someone says, ”Hold the weapons down they are here to help the next two days against the Darkspawn.” ”Yes commander,” says one of the dwarves as they salute and Logan says, ”It's been long Kardol. I thought you would be dead after such a long time.”
”Pah, some Darkspawn can't kill me so easily. I received your letter of training some students of yours but they are just children are you sure about this?” says Kardol and Logan says, ”Yes if they can kill at least one they will pass my exam. Now excuse me I need to bring the others over.” ”I will let my man bring them to a place they can stay,” says Kardol and Logan disappears again.
He does that 3 more times and everyone was led away by the dwarves towards their barracks. Logan then tells Michael, ”If someone dies tomorrow I want you to bring their corpse to me. I will do the rest.” ”Yes, are you sure about this?” asks Michael and Logan says, ”You know I almost always plan everything but it doesn't always follow the plan that's why I have back up plans for everything but you can throw everything out of a window on a battlefield. Because some are too emerge into the battle that they don't hear to commands. That's why we will fight the Darkspawn they don't plan they just attack. They only plan when they are led by an Archdemon or an intelligent Darkspawn.”
They continue talking while the students were nervous about the battle they will fight in tomorrow. The next day they hear a horn being blown and everyone stood up and Logan says, ”Everyone to the gates and get in formation. Look at the people beside you those are the ones protecting you while you protect them. You are from now on brothers and sisters-in-arms. Protect each other and you shall survive this battle. Don't falter or it will be your death.”
