After leaving the Taile Village, Xandriel and Victor went through many adventures and help those who needed and made many friends along the way and keep spreading the light.
One-night Xandriel had a weird dream, he saw the same person that was inside a strong tornado in his dream. But this time it was different he was closer to the person than he ever was and can almost touch him.
Xandriel was so eager to know who this person is and tried to reached out to him by holding out his hand. Then suddenly the person stopped crying and looked up and their eye met.
The person inside the tornado eye was full of sadness and regret like he had done a terrible thing.
Xandriel woke up and from his nightmare and take a deep breath and he was drench with sweat. He thought to himself "What was that? That never happened before, what is the meaning of this dream?"
At that moment, a strong wind blew from the west and swept through their camp and blew out the fire beside him.
Xandriel then quickly recognised the wind and get out of his bedroll, he tried to locate the source of the wind but he can barely detect a faint mana far from their location.
While the wind was blowing Victor was still asleep peacefully seeing that Xandriel got angry and kick him hard and went back to sleep quickly before Victor got up and looked around half asleep.
Next morning Victor and Xandriel pack up their stuff, Xandriel then went to the west side quickly and this got Victor confused and asked him "I thought we are going to the east side?"
Xandriel replied with a serious face "I change my mind my mind is telling me to go to this side. I'm sorry but you need to trust me."
Victor saw his face and without saying a word he follows him and make their way to the west side.
While they make their way to the west side someone called out to them and stopped them, they both looked around in confused trying to find out where the voice is coming.
In the corner of the road a person was seating under a tree, he was holding a long stick and used it as a fishing rod trying to catch a fish from a small pond that looked like even the smallest fish won't want to live there.
Xandriel tried to see the person face while Victor in the back was confused not because of the person but why he was fishing in that pond that clearly show no fish is live there.
Xandriel asked in a well manner way "Sir, are you from around here?"
The person replied "Yes, I live here since when I was a kid, what do you want?"
Xandriel then approach the person closer and stop when he can see the person clearly. The person was wearing a green tear cloak and cover most of his face and body.
Xandriel then said politely "Hello sir, I am Xandriel Vanquish my friend here is.." Victor who was standing beside was gone, he was already sat near the person and investigated the pond carefully then Xandriel continued "my friend over there is Victor. We are on a mission we and follow the wind to find someone"
As soon as he said that the person arm twitched and the fishing rod was quickly return to him.
Xandriel noticed the person reaction and continued to asked without phase "Sir can you tell me your name?"
The person got up and said "Caelum"
Xandriel then said "what?"
"My name is Caelum Storme," said the person and take off his cloak that cover his face.
Victor then said angrily "I thought you're an adult, how dare you try to deceive us"
Caelum with a disrespecting face said "I never I was an adult"
Xandriel was holding back Victor who was trying to hit Caelum.
Xandriel asked "Caelum have you seen something crazy last night like a strong wind blowing"
Caelum stay silent and asked "why did they want to know?"
Xandriel then said "I saw a person in my dream who was crying inside a huge tornada, he looks so sad like he has done something terrible. I don't know is my dream was real or not but I know that I need to find that person quickly or something bad will happened."
Caelum stay silent again for a while and finally decided.
"I will only guide to the town where it happened last night." said Caelum. He kicks his stick beside him and the stick shrink a little bit in unnoticeable way and catch it and said "this way, muscle brain stays close or you might get lost" said it in an arrogant way.
Victor was so angry "You little brads" and tried to hit him but Xandriel again hold him back.
Then after a while they reached the Gale town. "We are here, this is the town where the wind usually come"
Xandriel and Victor cannot believe their eye the town was so beautiful and advanced.
"I have done my job. So, I'll take my leave bye!" said Caelum.
Before he can get away Xandriel asked him to stay with him and guide them through the town.
Caelum with an annoying face then agreed to guide them.
As they enter the town both of them was amazed by the town building and the way they use wind as a transportation, the way people dress was so different from them and allof them have brown hair.
Victor was running around trying to see everything acting like a child.
Xandriel and Caelum both watch him run around like a child and embarrass Xandriel just laugh awkwardly.
Caelum with a disappointed face said "This guy has no brain at all, he has a four-year-old kid brain."
Xandriel then look at Caelum and asked "How old are you Caelum?"
Caelum was shocked by the question and looked at Xandriel.
Caelum said "fourteen, why are you asking me that?"
Xandriel then replied "Nothing I'm just asking for no reason" and smile.
Victor came back with lost of snack and stuff and saw the change air around them and thought to himself "what is going on?"
Caelum then said "let me take you to the temple, there you can find many winds user maybe you will find what you are looking for"
Then they hopped on to the pedestal and the air blew them high up in the sky safely.
While they were riding Xandriel noticed Caelum emotion that was shown through his face. They arrived in the highest place in the town the Sky pillar temple.
Victor shouted loudly "Whooaaaa! Xandriel look we can see everything from here!"
Xandriel then turn and see the most beautiful things he had ever seen in his life. The sunset was shinning down on to the town and the hill beside them look greenish than ever the bird was flying above the sky.
Xandriel with a sparkling eye said "What an amazing sight this is!"
Caelum then said "I know right, this is why I love the Sky Pillar Temple"
Then come a monk from the temple and asked "Caelum, welcome back. It's good to see you return here and who are this people may I ask?"
Xandriel then in polite manner said "I am sorry to disturb you sir,I am Xandriel Vanquish and this is Victor we are from Dragon Heart Kingdom, Caelum here show us around the town and we are looking for a strong wind user. I have a dream of wind user that might need help, will you help us please?
The monk replied "Of course, it would be my honour Prince Xandriel Vanquish"
Xandriel was shocked to know the monk knew who he was and Caelum was also shocked to know Xandriel was a prince.
The monk than said "Follow me, I will take you to my student and maybe we might find out something"
Xandriel and Victor follow the monk but Xandriel turn and said "Caelum are you coming?"
Caelum replied "No, go ahead I'll wait you guys here."
Xandriel then went inside the temple with the monk. The monk then shows around the temple and gather around all the student, Xandriel then examined all the student one by one but can't seem to find what he was looking for.
Finally, the monk called out his strongest and most talented student in the temple. The said "This is the strongest student we have right now, I'm sure it must be him you are looking for. His name is Vale Windgrave."
Vale then show case hi ability and power and tried hard to impressed Xandriel but saw Xandriel showing no interest in him at all and this anger him and let out a small hurling wind and blow the hall with a strong wind force.
The monk then asked "So Prince Xandriel, what do you think?"
Xandriel then said "I'm sorry but I don't think the one I'm looking for is not here right now"
The monk was confused and said awkwardly "Ok… Would you like some tea Prince Xandriel?"
Xandriel replied "I would be delighted, please lead the way"
The monk then dismisses all the student and went to have a tea.
Xandriel and Victor have a tea with the monk quietly, Xandriel then asked "Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
The monk replied quickly "Go ahead, what do you want to know?"
Xandreil then asked with curiosity "it's about Caelum" the monk face change quickly. Xandriel continued "Can you tell me about him?"
The monk with a sad face and trembling voice "It's a sad story, no one should never suffer this much"
Xandriel and Victor became more curious than before.
The monk then continued "He was born in a family of strong wind user the best there is on the town, but unfortunately Caelum have a problem in him. He cannot channel his wind magic because of that his all his brother and sister hate him and sometime bully him because they thought that he was ruining his parents name in the society." The monk then wipes his tear and continued.
"Even that was hard enough to bear it but one day when Caelum was playing with his pet in the garden, someone killed his pet brutally while he was away. When he came back and saw it, his emotion got out of control a scream came out for the first time not abled to take it anymore. The sky became dark, as if it was crying with him, then cloud ascended down on to him in circle and form a big black tornado. It was the biggest we have ever seen in century; his parents ran out as soon as they heard the what happened." The monk stays silent for a while.
Xandriel and Victor can't say any word, emotion got them, then the monk continued.
"His parent tried to calm down the Caelum but their word got swept away with the wind, they can't even reach him. Then they tried to compressed the Caelum wind but even their magic combined can't do anything. So, the only way to reached him was to went through the black tornado that surrounded him.
So, they form a defensive wind barrier and tried to get to him. The wind was too strong for them, as they went in, they got cut in many places. The wind force was even stronger just before they could reach him, they barely got to him. They got too much injuries and bleed so much, when they reached him, they hugged him and said something to him and then slowly the wind began to calm down"
"What happened next?" they both said it at the same time.
"I was the watching from the beginning but too powerless to do anything and when the he calms down, I went to him quickly and he was unharmed but unconscious. His parent was holding his hand tightly not wanting to let go of his hand, then the healer arrived and tried to heal them but it was too late for them they already gone to the other side.
That day in the Storme house sadness spread through the family, quite and complete. When Caelum woke up not knowing anything only a faint voice saying something whispering to him. After that incident their family cannot be the same anymore Caelum got treated more badly than before, so I decided to took in Caelum to helped him control his magic and to help him escaped all the bullying.
But he can't use his magic even when he tried because of that the other student teased him and said that he does not belonged here. Then he stopped coming to the temple and spend most of his time wandering around the town and searched for a place he belonged"
The monk cried silently as he finished talking.
Just then they heard a noise coming from outside the temple and saw Caelum with other students.
