Chapter 133: The beautiful mage estate.

One of the more stubborn mages, a twelve year old boy named Adam Marden refused to be scared off and instead, he chose to bravely stand in Cosmos’s way.

Adam Marden had golden hair, a sharp mouth and fiery spirit to match the insolence in his eyes. He was also short for his age, what he lacked in height he made up for with his tall attitude.

"You don’t own the crown princess. Step aside you big oaf, I have come to learn form her and I will not be deterred by the likes of you."

Cosmos looked at the little boy that he could easily flick away into oblivion with one finger. Why he always allowed the brat to stand up to him, he could not fathom. Perhaps, living among humans for a change had him softer. "Move along boy. the crown princess has important business to take care of. I don’t know if your brain works well but you should know that I am more powerful than you. I can incinerate you right where you stand."

"Hmph!" Adam wrinkled his nose, puffed up his chest and crossed his arms across it, looking up at Cosmos defiantly. "Try it old man!" he challenged.

Cosmos raised his hand, Sigrid quickly planted herself between the two. "Cosmos, we don’t kill innocent children, not even if they are annoying."

Before she could calm Cosmos whose lips were trembling, Adam peeked around her and smirked. "I knew the crown princess would protect me. She is the next high mage, she protects all of us. Just because you are more powerful than me now does not mean you will always be. I, Adam Marden will be the strongest mage in the world in future. Just wait old man, I have time on my side, when I am at my strongest, you will be older and weaker and I will kick your butt."

Some snickers came from the people around that were trying hard to pretend that they were not interested in yet another face off between loud mouthed Adam and the brooding mage knight that always traveled with the crown princess.

"What kind of name is Cosmos anyway? It sounds..."

Sigrid turned around and covered Adam’s mouth with her hand. "Our mighty mage, can you control your mouth please. You are still a little sapling that can be swept away by a storm. If you truly wish to learn from me, I advice you to be more respectful of the people around you, especially those that are more powerful.

Sir Cosmos knows more about magic than I do, instead of running after me all the time, it would be best if you worship him as your teacher and learn from him."

She thrust Adam at Cosmos, turned around run off while laughing. Sigrid had give credit to loud mouthed Adam, he knew how to get on Cosmos’s nerves. It was interesting, watching him try so hard not to tear the boy apart with his bare hands.

On her own, she comfortably walked around the mage estate, heading to the mage tower which was in the center. Sigrid loved the mage estate, it was like a small world separate from the rest of the city.

In a way, it was exactly that because it was encircled by a shimmering protective barrier that hummed with ancient runes and wards. It kept out malevolent forced, non mages and ordinary humans that were not allowed onto the grounds.

It was like a sanctuary of peace that everyone would flock to if they truly knew how lovely it was. Some of Sigrid’s favorite places on the estate were the plantations. The large mystic orchids where trees bore fruits imbued with magical properties. Her b gardens where vibrant magical plants grew in perfect sync. The aquatic fields in the shallow parts of the estate’s lake where aquatic crops grew and marine life thrived.

There was a bridge over the lake which connected living quarters to the school, market and other buildings. Some of the buildings included a grand pavilion which was used for gatherings and ceremonies.

An arcane tower, a tall spiraling structure made of enchanted stones. It housed research rooms where mages studies sword magic, spells and potions, It was also where the school was.

The hall of knowledge, a grand library filled with manuscripts, scrolls and books on magic and other knowledge.

One of the most famous buildings on the large estate was the starlit observatory that sat atop a hill, It was equipped with powerful telescopes and star charts. Astronomy was a very big deal in Eldoria and the continent at large.

There was also a healing sanctuary, training fields and a grove. The shadow of a large bird passed by and Sigrid raised her head. She had almost forgotten about another of her favorite places on the estate, the animal sanctuary.

It was as big as the royal hunting grounds, with mystic meadows where magical creatures fed and roamed. An expansive aviary filled with bird, both magical and ordinary. A celestial woodland that was home to enchanted creatures, most of which had been captured from the Mystic grove. Some had attacked towns or villages, mage knights brought them back to the estate.

A large part of the lake funneled into the aquatic enclave which was another home to aquatic creatures. It was the dream of many mages to someday find mermaids or water nymphs. Rumors about their existence on the high seas were rampant but not many people had actually seen one.

All the young children on the estate loved the creature cottages, cozy enchanted homes to smaller creatures like rabbits and cats. Sigrid planned to bring Venom to the mage estate soon, for a vacation.

The last part of the animal sanctuary was a training ground where mages and caretakers interacted with horses and and other creatures, training them for various tasks. Someday, if they ever found dragons, Sigrid wanted to train one on those grounds.

With thoughts on that, she soon arrived at the top floor of the mage tower and met the lord mage that was having a late breakfast. He stood up when she entered his office but she waved her hand and gestured for him to sit back down.

His maid and two assistants left the room, giving them privacy.

"Greetings your highness." the lord mage covered his breakfast and gave all of his attention to Sigrid. "It is a pleasure to have you at our estate as always, I have heard that you run into young Adam Marden. Did he anger Sir Cosmos as usual?"

"They are like a cat and a rat those two." She laughed. "I have a feeling that Cosmos likes young Adam, the boy is quite high spirited." She waved her hand and a young griffin appeared out of thin air, falling on the table. "I have come looking for your help, what do these things eat?"
