March 17, 2026 at 12:35 PM
Dragon and Hela had made a new friend a boy named Magnus who helped them get them some blood drop coins to buy some food and clothes and when Magnus's mother came to them and invited them to her home where her husband and his children were waiting for them and when they entered the husband said "Oh look the bastard is back with some friends." This made his wife chuckle and when Dragon and Hela saw this they realized why Magnus wasn't happy to see his mother
Before they could introduced themselves the husband would cut them off he turned to his wife "Nyla why are did you bring home more mouths to feed?" She pulls him aside and tells him what she saw these children do and how it can benefit them and Hela watching them talk and walk back with these big grins on their faces and offered them something to eat and than ordered Magnus to prepare the dinner table and when dished up the food Dragon and Hela were served first and than Nyla and her husband and than his children and lastly Magnus receiving the smallest portion and for a moment their was awkward silence which Nyla broke by asking "So what part of Rahara did you two come from? western district or east?" Dragon "Neither we're not from any kingdom really me and Hela were born into the Arcane clan. A clan of wonderers who regularly travel between the three kingdoms."
Arcane clan Nyla had heard that name before "The Arcane clan yeah I've heard of it before a friend of mine joined them after we both got knocked up by the same guy and she was so upset that decided to leave and never come back and yes it was as over dramatic as it sounds." "Who was she?" One of her husbands kids asked and she thought for a moment trying to remember and then it came to her "Dominique that was her name."
"That was my mothers name. you knew my mother?" Dragon asked now extremely curious. Nyla went on to explain that years ago both Nyla and Dominique were close friends that spent everyday with each other until the arrival of young handsome, charming boy who at first just they saw as a friend and then something more but Dominique discovered that she and Nyla were pregnant along with several other woman and to make him pay she brought all the woman he'd been seeing and together they spread the news of his actions all over Rahara and completely destroying his reputation and milked him for about all the blood drops he has
As she continued to talk Dragon looked to Magnus if both of them and the same father that makes them brothers and the husband stopped her and asked Dragon for something but before he could say anything else Dragon slammed his hand on the table and ice instantly covered it ice spikes pressed against their throats and said "Sorry but I don't want you to interrupt Magnus. You have two choices stay here with them or come with us and explore everything there is to explore. What do you say brother?" He says extending his hand to Magnus, who looked at him at the table covered in ice and didn't need to think twice about it "I say when do we leave."
Magnus didn't even look at his mother when making his decision and she didn't try to stop him when he was packing what little he has in his own home and when they left Magnus looked back at his mother and her husband one last time and said "Glad to be leaving before you move me to the basement so you can turn me room into your personal work shop." The two of weren't aware he knew what they were planning and didn't stop him from leaving
"You want magic granting tattoos? Dragon needs more practice with his tattoo art." Hela asked Magnus as they walked away from his old home and Magnus responded quickly "Yes, yes I do."
After getting his own magic granting tattoos Magnus would come up with his own side show idea along with Dragons fire dance and Hela's plant magic display he used ice magic to create winter wonderland for everyone and sold cups of crushed ice mixed with fruit juice for flavor and the blood drops they made that day were enough to buy them everything they would need and remembering Nyla talking about different districts of Rahara and asked Magnus about them and he said "I've never been to the other districts but I've always been curious."
The three of them headed for the Rahara transport terminal where they got on something Hela described as a giant metal snake and Magnus told her "The snakes head is the engine and the rest of it's body is for the passengers like us. You know I've never been on one by myself before." Dragon wrapping his arm around him "Your not by yourself now your with us." This made him smile and they boarded the 'metal snake' [train] and headed for the western district
After about half an hour they arrived. They got off the metal snake and entered a building that looked a museum Magnus explain that this place was the Rahara history museum and while they were here they were going to enjoy it.
As they walk through the museum halls they saw depictions of founding of Rahara a group of craftsmen and metal smiths coming together to forge a city of creativity and they even saw depiction of the Titans similar to the bed time stories they heard growing up but in this depiction it shows that humanity had already existed by the time of the first battle and were being protected by the standing titan which didn't seem right and it appears the people of Rahara agree for the exhibit was vandalized saying 'false history'
