Primordial Dimensions

"Hey Uncle Max, here's Shane, can you spare some time for your nephew?"

'Maybe it will work?' Shane thought with slight hesitation before he attached a picture of himself to the message in order to prove that it was really him.

He was still slightly dirty, within a shabby room, and looked tired but it was crystal-clear that he was Shane Suro, or for his father's friends, Little Shane or Shane Stella.

It was not that his father's friend was really his uncle but Max Brier, one of the most respected tamers on Igra wanted to be called Uncle Max from Shane.

As such he could only obey and to be honest, there wasn't any harm in doing so.

A few minutes passed and there was still no message and Shane decided to leave the Soul-Onyx-Jungle dimension because he wanted to escape the heavy rain.

With Umbra coiled around his neck, he went out of the Inn and walked towards the dimension portal, as he received a notification.

Standing on the open street, while the rain poured down on him, Shane decided to leave towards another dimension before anything else.

Only five minutes later, Shane entered the dimension portal to enter the Deep Mountain-river dimension after paying two silver coins for their teleportation fee.

Entering the DeepMountain shelter, Shane and Umbra were attacked by the bright light shining onto them and it took them a few moments until their eyes adjusted to the bright afternoon sun lightening up the shelter.

Without wasting much time, Shane left the shelter and sat down outside the shelter walls, leaning on a tree before he opened his uncle's message.

"Shane is that really you?! Where are you? How are you doing? Is everything okay? We were all worried about you! You're looking dirty and tired...WHY did you run away from home?"

Being bombarded by questions, Shane was taken aback. It seemed weird, but warmth filled his heart.

"Yeah, it's me, uncle. I'm doing fine and the last few days were full of action. Strolling through the Primordial dimension is really something one shouldn't miss out on..haha…Furthermore, you should know why I didn't want to stay with dad, does he really think he can control me for his whole life and order me around like I'm his puppet?"

Shane wasn't sure what else to write and he didn't want to complain too much about his father to one of his friends, even if he had much more to say.

As such Shane decided to focus on his reason, why he wrote uncle Max, with slight hesitation.

"It might be out of line to ask you that, but can you give me a drop of Tiamir's blood? I need it for something and the prices on the Primordial shops are too expensive for me to handle right now."

Shane felt embarrassed to ask about this favor, but he would repay it sometime in the future.

In the beginning, Shane also wanted to ask Max about funds from him, but with this, he would feel like he still had to rely on his father's connections.

Asking for a drop of Tamir's, Max's strongest tamed beast's blood was already the highest he wanted to go for now.

At least until the dispute with his father was solved.

Less than a minute passed until Shane received a reply to his request.

<I know that you have some problems with John, but wouldn't it be better to solve them on friendly terms? We don't feel good seeing you and John quarreling like that. Please keep in mind that your dad has the responsibility of the whole federation on his shoulders.

Furthermore, John is searching for you, even though he has already so much to do...

As for your request about Tiamir's blood, I don't really know why you need it, but I'll send it to you through the systems package service.

You don't have to pay the transfer fee, I'll pay it but do me a favor and message John so he knows that you're alive..otherwise the federation will turn quite chaotic while he's looking for you.

If you need anything else, just speak freely….>

Reading the message, Shane felt complicated, and with `we` his Uncle probably meant the close circle of friends around John which raised him up mostly.

All of them were like a part of their family but Shane felt suppressed for his whole life, even if he was overwhelmed with their love and care about him.

He wasn't even allowed to go to a normal school and make friends. It was as if he was a princess locked within a castle, only able to look out of the barred windows, waiting for their prince to rescue them.

Shane didn't want to wait for anyone to rescue him, as such he decided to rescue himself by entering the Primordial Dimensions.

It definitely felt good that his dad searched for him, but that didn't change their dispute with each other.

Pondering for a moment, Shane decided that he would write his dad a short message later and tell him that he was doing fine.

In addition, he wanted to clearly explain to his dad, why he didn't want to stay with his dad for the moment until he changed

But if Shane was honest, he didn't think that his dad would do much about the current situation, because there was too much he had to do right now, because humanity spread further down the primordial dimensions while his dad prepared to venture into a new advanced dimension to lead the construction of the shelter there.

It was important and his dad wouldn't have much time to think about his son.

Before Shane could even click on his dad's private account number Uncle Max send him, he received another message from him.

<Ah and I there is something you should know… your dad is in a dire situation because you left your fiancé alone without canceling your first date.

To be honest, we found it quite hilarious because your dad threw a fit and almost demolished the whole mansion...haha...being reminded of that feels refreshing...

Your fiancé's family was displeased and John might be a little bit aggrieved because of your decision to leave without telling anyone about it.

You haven't even seen your fiancé, did you get cold feet? HAHAHA … Jokes aside… take care of yourself and please tell any of us as soon as you need anything, okay? Stay safe!! This is an order ;D>

Reading the last message, Shane smiled and began to laugh as he could imagine his dad demolishing the whole mansion with his bad temper...

Umbra saw Shane laughing and felt as joyous as his master, transmitting a lot of happiness and joy.

Both felt happy and it took them a while before they calmed down, when Shane finished reading the message.

Frowning deeply, Shane mumbled "What cold feet? I'll live a long life and marrying can be done later...I'm only 16 years old...Furthermore, I'll decide who to marry?!"
