A Journey Through The Worlds 29 Meeting Again.

"So do you think that after this I will be able to awake my ability" Leonard asked as he was removing his cloths.

"There is a big chance that that will happen, you see usually natural awakening will happen after the power inside your body become way more then what your body can take, so like a flood it will start going through your body till it destroy something like a barrier and then you will be able to use it" Dan explained.

"You see after each blood bath your power got stronger, but because of the ice heart it was compressed keeping it shackled, actually I think that if nor for the ice heart you would have already started feeling something different about your body, now I hope that after this body tempering technique you will be able to awaken, as from what we saw already, a season of body tempering using dragons blood is great for abilities, so what I want to do is to destroy the barrier that is keeping you from using your power in one swap and that's by removing the ice heart after the blood bath this time, which will release all the compressed power inside you"

By the time Dan had finished his explanation Leonard had already removed his cloths and entered the tub, Dan dropped a drop of dragon blood in it and after all the water become red he started the body tempering technique just like how he did with Randy and the others, except that this time he didn't leave after finis.h.i.+ng as he just grabbed a chair and set next to him, soon after he fall asleep.

The next morning he was awakened by the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng, opening his eyes he saw Leonard setting in the tub confused while taking big breaths of air, seeing that he was still confused Dan hurriedly moved next to him and took off the charm like thing on his neck, that was the ice heart it was put in a piece of cloth and used by Leonard like a charm or a necklace.

As soon as he removed the ice heart from Leonard he took a few steps back waiting for what might happen.

Leonard showed a confused expression when he saw Dan jump at him and take the ice heart, he actually didn't even remember what was happening or anything as his head was a ma.s.s it wasn't till he saw steam from the water that he was in that he started remembering something, as he tried to look at Dan wanting to say something he heard Dan say to him:

"Just wait its happening"

He looked at the water and saw that it started boiling giving him a shock and making him want to jump out of it as fast as possible.

But after taking another look he noticed that he actually didn't feel anything, he felt no heat no discomfort nothing at all as if he wasn't inside a tub of boiling water, make him look at Dan in confusion.

Seeing him look at him Dan said in a calm tone that calmed him a little:

"It's alright you don't have to worry it's just your ability awakening, listen set down calm yourself and try feeling your body, you power didn't awake yet they are just showing first signs of awakening, what you need to do is concentrate on feeling it and pus.h.i.+ng it out of your body, this way you all have an advantage when it comes to controlling it later as you should know that Katherine wasted most of her time in the first day just feel her power if you do it now it will be easier and you will win some time" Dan used a calm clear tone as he told him about all of that, making Leonard calm down and listen to what he told him to do and accept his words.

After he calmed down and set down trying to feel his power, Dan released a breath of air, he left Leonard in his room and left for his, he took a bath before going to have breakfast.

For the first time he was the last one there, when he entered Katherine looked at him and after she saw that Leonard wasn't with him she asked:

"How did it go, did Leonard awake his ability"

"It has gone well, he had shown the first signs for awakening an ability, but it will take a while more" Dan said.

He thought about it and he concluded that probably the power in his body wasn't enough for his awakening it probably happened because of the shock that his body had after the ice heart was taken from him making the power inside it expand suddenly, meaning that his awakening won't be a fast one like Katherine's but it will take a while.

"So he's ability will awaken fast right? I mean we really don't have a lot of time after all" Nero asked.

"Yeah don't worry it will only take a day or so, and there's no danger at all so there's no need to worry" Dan said.

"So... after his awakening can I have the bow" Randy asked after Dan finished his words.

"Well there's only you in our little group that needs it, so of course it's your turn... But I have been thinking that aftre you can we give it to old Frank or Barry, what do you think about that" Dan nodded his head at Randy's question before asking in uncertainty.

He wanted people to know that by following them, they weren't just going to work for nothing; he wanted them to know that they could get stronger and live better; of course he was going to use that as a mean to stop their anger from rising after kidnapping them later on.

"It can be used like that as I'm sure that just the few of us aren't strong enough to fight what's coming" Robin was the first to talk.

"Yeah winning more people to us is going to be a great thing, and we can even make an example of them, making the others know that by following us they too can got power" Robin added.

"Ok it's decided, and then who should we give it to old Frank or Barry" Dan asked he already had a candidate in mind but he wanted to ask their opinions.

"I personally think that Barry will need an ability more, as he's already a great help to us even without it, and he had gone through two dangerous missions since we met him, we should rewarded him and let the others know that way danger comes rewards" Randy answered he understood the important of gifts and all as a soldier.

Nero also nodded his head showing his aide he too knows the importance of that as even the royal guards gave rewards to those that worked hard and suffered for them.

"That's what I thought too, then it's decided the bow will be given to Barry after Randy" Dan nodded.

Not long after they had their breakfast before separating and going to take care of their things.

Dan returned to Leonard room, and he found him still setting in the bath tub except that the water had already evaporated, leaving him setting there.

His skin was as red as blood and heat was being released from his body, but his face didn't show any signs of pain or anything like that, making Dan relax a little.

"How are you doing, were you able to feel anything" Dan asked.

"I somehow get the feeling as if I could feel something but it soon disappears as soon as I try concentrating at it" Leonard answered while sighing.

His words made it seem as if he didn't notice anything wrong about himself, but if he saw how he looked Dan was sure that he would get a shock as he didn't seem fine at all, but Dan also understood that even though he looked like that he was alright as that was just a side effect of an ability awakening and that it would disappear as soon as he awake returning to normal.

After that Dan talked a little bit with Leonard, making him to stay in his room till his ability awake entirely.

When Leonard asked him how will he knows that his ability had awakened Dan answered him saying that when he touches something and it catch on fire that would mean that he had already awakened.

After he left Leonard's room he found Robert and asked him to go with him to the cave where the s.h.i.+ps were as he wanted to take a look at them one more time and see if there's anything to do to make them go a little bit faster.

He didn't tell Robert his true reason he just said that he wanted to take another look at the s.h.i.+ps as the great migration was close.

Robert was surprised and afraid a little as he didn't know if it had anything to do with little Ru, but he still couldn't reject him so he just accepted it and they left after Dan told the others to not wait for him for lunch.

"Robert I wanted to ask you is there a way to get the s.h.i.+ps to go a little bit faster" as they were walking on the tunnel Dan asked Robert out of the blue.

"Well there really are many answers to that question, so can you be more specific" Robert said.

"What do you mean specific"

"Like if you want to know about answers that would need making changes and modifications to the s.h.i.+ps or just some little tricks that can be used, that's what I mean"

"I asked because I wanted to know if we can make a s.h.i.+p go faster in this year's great migration so we don't really have time to make any modifications so tell me about things that can be done fast" Dan answered after he understood what Robert meant.

"If it is for this year's great migration then we really don't have time to do much, we would be left with just a few simple options like removing any unnecessary things to make the s.h.i.+p lighter, you understand just simple things that might not even help" Robert said while shaking his head.

Dan nodded his head, he understood that they didn't have enough time for modifications but that didn't stop him from thinking about it, and about Robert's suggestion on throwing unnecessary weights, that actually was the real reason of his visit to the cave as he wanted to see if he could find something to throw.

They then moved for a while more before making it to the cave, this time they moved straight to one of the s.h.i.+ps.

When they stepped on the surface of the s.h.i.+p, it seemed that one of the crewmen heard their footsteps as a young voice come from inside it along with the sound of footsteps moving toward them:

"Grandpa Robert is that you, I thought that you said touch weren't coming today"

When he heard the voice Dan smiled, it was the voice of the young woman little Ru, he didn't expect her to be the first person they would meet.

Robert looked at Dan after hearing little Ru's voice, seeing the smile on his face he panicked a little, but he knew that he couldn't do anything so he just calmed himself.

Little Ru jumped to the deck happily but her face paled when she saw Dan standing there smiling at her, she took two steps back and she almost shouted but then she heard Robert's gently saying:

"Don't worry little Ru, sir Dan is only here to take another look at the s.h.i.+p"
