Chapter 35 - Home sweet home

Orion didn't run into any further trouble on his way home.He was met with some strange looks and expressions as the people walking by noticed the abnormal goblin inside his net.Orion didn't care about these looks and expressions as he didn't care about the opinions of random strangers.On top of that he had no way to hide or store the goblin inside the net.

As Orion arrived at his home he was greeted by his younger brother Akon.Akon appeared to have something important to say but stopped once he saw the goblin in the net.

"Brother why do you have a goblin inside a net?.Is that net enchanted with magic?.Why does the goblin look so unusual and mutated?.Why is the goblin asleep?."Akon stormed Orion with a tirade of questions.

"I captured a mutated goblin for Mandar Schion.Yes the net is enchanted and is the reason why the goblin is asleep.As for why the goblin is so unusual and mutated we're trying to figure that out.We need to find out a lot about this particular goblin."Orion answered all of Akons questions but had to admit that he still had questions of his own about why the goblin ended up this way as well the reasons for its ideology.

"But brother why did you have to capture a goblin for the archmage of the mages guild?."asked Akon innocently as he looked at the goblin in curiousity.

"Archmage Mandar Schion promised me that if I captured an abnormal goblin for him then he would teach me magic."Orion spoke in a dramatic tone when he spoke about being taught magic.

"Really does that mean you'll be able to teach me magic too?.Do you already know a few spells?."Akon excitedly asked as he wanted to learn magic too.

"I already know a few spells so maybe I'll be able to teach you magic in the future.For now I need to go to my room and study magic."Orion genuinely did want to have another look at his ice spell book as he felt his spell repertoire was rather lacking.He also wanted to look through Torrents belongings.

With that Akon and Orion headed into the home where Orions new parents gave him questioning looks about the goblin in the enchanted net.Once Orion gave them an explanation about why he had to captured an abnormal goblin in order to learn magic they immediately calmed down and were even excited and happy for their son.

They did however order Orion to leave the goblin and enchanted net in the basement as they were wary of magic and mutated magical creatures.They also told Orion that they were taking the whole family to visit a trial in a few hours and as no one had come to take Orion away they would take him too.

"What trial are we visiting mother?."Orion had decided to act more natural around his family as he felt awkward last time.

"The trial of that rampaging dark mage of course.Everyone in the neighbourhood is going to go in order to see justice happen."Merry said with a grin on her face.

Orion then headed to his room and closed the door behind him.He took out the book on ice magic and delved into it.Since his intellect was higher then his skeleton days he was able to learn new rituals and spells.
