My Mage System (BL)

Kelan smirked and told him : "There's a little bit of that too."

Alan laughed heartily and showed him the magic bag that was on the desk and he said to him : "Go ahead and take it yourself, it's a long distance one and you can keep it I'll ask Liam for another one."

Kelan seemed surprised but he didn't refuse, a long distance communication stone was an undeniable asset to be able to stay in touch and ask for help if needed, what had happened to him might have been avoided if he had had one when he was trapped.

And it was a good thing that last night Alan had taken the time to tell them everything that had happened since he knew Kevin because otherwise he would have been really shocked to see what was inside his magic bag.

Damn, when he thought that he had always been worried about whether Alan could manage on his own and whether he didn't need financial help.

At least now he was sure that his little brother was largely safe from need and that he was surrounded by very powerful people who were able to protect him much better than they could.

And when Alan had finally told them what had happened in the boss's room of the last dungeon they had looted, their father had frowned and warned them.

The fact that they had faced a General Wizard was a very bad sign according to him, the last time a General Wizard had been seen was during the previous war just before the black vortexes appeared again.

And Nolan told them that the person in charge of the expeditions at the academy had noticed that the difficulty of the dungeons had increased recently and that he had decided to increase the number of people to make sure that there wouldn't be any accident.

Their father had remained thoughtful for a moment before telling them that the fights at the border had largely diminished as most of the demons had been recalled by their king to face the rebels who seemed to be liberating more and more cities and gaining in power.

But unfortunately after what they had just learned last night, they realized that their real opponent had never really been the demons but this Lilith, and that if she decided to invade their territory, what was happening in demon territory wouldn't change anything for them because she probably had an army of demons under her command.

Kelan, who had been deep in thought, was brought back to reality when he felt his brother's hand on his shoulder, and in front of his worried look he promised him that he was fine and that for once he would listen to their father and rest today.

After finally retrieving the communication stone and thanking them, he left their room because Alan obviously wanted to be alone with Erik, and he went back to his room and lay in his bed before trying to get in touch with Caleb.

It was still early but he longed to hear his voice so when Caleb answered him immediately he felt his heart quicken and he said in a teasing tone, 'My dad saw the ring, and he didn't really look too happy about it ... He told me that he will sort things out with you so get ready.'

Caleb smirked but he didn't want to enter to his game, so instead he asked him, 'Are you alright, what happened to you ?'

Kelan was closing his eyes imagining Caleb talking leisurely to him in his bed and he said to him, 'Ask my dad when you see him, I don't really know what I'm allowed to tell you or not, but I'm fine and that thing that took over my appearance has been eliminated.'

Caleb clenched his fists, he felt so frustrated at being kept in the dark but he knew Kelan wouldn't have done it without a good reason.

So he took a decision that he should have taken long ago, but fortunately for him Kelan was someone patient and he had made him wait long enough.

He swore to himself that this was the last time he would stay in the dark, and he asked him then, 'What exactly did you tell your father about us ?'

Kelan smiled in spite of himself and told him, 'I tried to protect you as best as I could but my dad just said 'bullshit' and that he would deal personaly with you.'

Caleb laughed and told him, 'I will work things out with your dad no worry, but you know we can't work together anymore if we make our relationship official.'

Kelan immediately sat down and said to him doubfouned, 'You want us to make it official ... I thought you didn't want anything serious.'

Caleb then said, confident that Kelan wouldn't reject him, 'I changed my mind … Your father just told me last night that you were fine and that he would come to see me today ... He left me in total confusion and even you can't tell me anything, this is the last time it happens.'

He then said teasingly, 'Kelan, the next time you want to play the damsel in distress, I would be the one and only one coming for you.'

Kelan passed his hand over his face smiling like an idiot, finally it was good that Caleb couldn't see him right now, and then he said to him seriously, 'Don't blame yourself too much you couldn't do anything to help me.

And the only reason I went under your command was so you would notice me, I really didn't think we would get to where we are now, so don't worry any position will suit me ... I think it's time for me to go help my father at the border.'

Caleb was a little apprehensive about him saying this but Kelan was an experienced man now and he should be fine with the intensive training he had put him through, so he told him, 'Don't think too much about it for now, may be there will be more opportunity for you … You don't necessarily have to go fighting at the border.

Let me work things out with Dilan first, and Kelan, you should rest now it's still early.'

Kelan agreed to reassure him and he told him to let him know how things would go with his father and that he would keep this communication stone with him from now on.

After that, he thought at what Caleb just told him about more opportunities and then he decided to try to contact Kevin.
