Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

 A week after Ariel got his haircut Circe forced him to go to the village more with the sole purpose of him making friends his age, Ariel accepted the proposal eagerly having his own purpose in the village. Days flowed by after they both made that decision Ariel leaves for the village after breakfast every morning not for what his mother wishes but to confirm his suspicions, the last time he had passed with Circe after his haircut he had sensed demonic energy not the type Ether had or the one that the dragon in him radiated, it was pure evil something that set his holy powers, it was quite hard for him to control the energy trying to burst right out of him.

 Ariel walked down the familiar street he had been going through for days now, the memory and feel of the energy still fresh in his mind and yet there was no trace of it ever being on that particular street at all, the village might have being small but it was not something he could walk in a day. Ariel continued his search until the sun started to set on his way back home his mind wondered around especially to the case of why he is so in search of a little piece of demonic energy, he had always hated that feeling, just a little bit of that energy makes every hair on his body stand and cause shivers down his spine.

 Ariel already exited the village before the sun took its final peek at the village leaving only it's reflection as a source of lightening guiding him back home. His walk home was slow as he felt something awfully wrong with what he had felt back then, Ariel pushed the front door waiting for his mother's usual cheerful voice asking him if he found any friends this time around but the sound never came. He stepped deeper inside the house before calling out to his mother, he knew Ether won't be home by this time yet so he kept Circe title only on his tongue. Ariel called her name several times before mana started to leak from his body as he made his way to her room, he pushed open the door gently before stepping inside the small room. His eyes scanned the neat room no signs of anomaly nor struggle, he pushed out of the room taking heavy steps as he made his way to the kitchen where a folded paper sat in the counter.

 Ariel recognized the paper at one glance, it was the one the scared man brought to them the day he had to cut his hair, he picked it up with sharply spreading the paper to read it's contents. "Circe I heard you have a son now, I am truly happy to hear that and I would love to meet him very soon, things have been going well here except from the fact that you still refuse to come and see me (a poor attempt to draw a crying face was made making him loosen his stance as he continues to read). Every one is expecting your arrival with the new Saint or that what they say, but still you still need to bring him over to meet me and if that old dragon ever messes with you or makes you angry I will make my way there and beat him up"(with another poor attempt of drawing a smiley face the letter comes to and). "Mom has a family member whoa that's new" Ariel said with a chuckle his fun coming to an halt wen he heard the door close from across the room.
