Chapter 49: Magic Bubble Barrier

After several months of experimentation, Doran created what he called the "Magic Bubble Barrier", a magical barrier similar to that of the mini weirwood. The barrier once activated creates a bubble that makes the magic within the bubble undetectable by any type of artifact.

The barrier's power source and heart is a valyrian steel medallion with a magical jewel inside it. Magic jewels, or magic stones, are jewels formed from condensed mana and are used as a power source for magical barriers. Magic jewels have various quality levels, class E being the worst quality, and class A being the higher quality.

Harry learned how to create these magic stones but never became a craftmaster, the best quality jewel he ever made was a class B.

It took Doran almost two months to gather enough mana to create a class D jewel. He found the Valyrian Steel in one of the secret rooms, in that room Doran found many precious objects such as jewels and gold, since the room is close to the office of one of the Archmaesters and clearly used often, the prince concluded that it is some kind of secret treasury of the Citadel.

He only took a bit of the metal to carve out the medallion.

`A magic metal, a magic jewel and a few engraved runes. It doesn't seem like much, but between getting the materials and carefully planning which runes to use and carving them, it took me four months.`

After the war he learned Runes on Hermione's advice, around this time Harry began to read a lot about Vikings after his interest was picked when he found an ancient Viking sword during a fishing trip with Ron. Harry learned the Viking runes and even began to write using them, seeing how easily his friend learned the Viking runic system, Hermione recommended him to learn Magic Runes.

Harry, having nothing better to do since that year after the war was spent catching up on their studies and preparing for their N.E.W.Ts decided to give it a go. Magic Runes, their uses and practically infinite possibilities, fascinated him.

But as much as it fascinated him to learn the subject was very tedious and frustrating, it was like building a house of cards in the middle of a storm. Being able to build magical artifacts is what attracted him the most, but reaching that level took him years. Learning all the runes was easy, the hard part was learning all their aspects, which runes can be combined, which are dangerous when engraved on the same artifact,...

Harry almost blew his head when he carved the runes for Cleanliness and Hardness into a coat, he intended to make his coat stay clean and more durable. The result was that the coat exploded as soon as he activated the runes. If it wasn't for his quick reflexes he would have died. His eyebrows and eyelashes took months to grow back, Hermione didn't let him use potions to speed up the process saying it would serve as a lesson.

Another thing that surprised him is how hard it is to carve the runes, he thought you just had to write them on a surface either with ink or something else. How wrong he was. The runes are engraved with a kind of special pencil called a Runer and each rune takes hours to engrave, since Mana ink is used (that is, magic is the "ink" used).

Doran didn't have a Runer so he had to create one, which took more time than creating the medallion.

`The year is going to be over soon, which doesn't matter, what does matter is that in the tenth month of the year I have to go back to Sunspear for the birth of my new brother or sister. I only have two weeks left to explore the hidden rooms and create a magical chest to take things I find useful. A chest with runes that expand its size and others to shrink to the size of a matchbox. I already had the chest built out of ironwood by a craftsman at House Forrester and it should arrive by sea in less than a week, giving me less than a week to carve the runes and such.`

Obella Martell is pregnant with her third child and Doran wants to be there for the birth of his new sibling. Not only to be there for his parents but also because he is worried, in this world giving birth is a gamble; many women die in the process even with the assistance of a maester and midwives. Not only that, but there is also the fact that neonatal medicine is non-existent here, if the baby has a health problem, the maesters will not know how to identify it, much less treat it, which is why the rate of infant death is so high.

There is also the assassination attempt, Doran worries that someone will try the same thing again.

That is why he decided to return home for the birth of his new brother or sister, but that is not all; after nearly three years Doran decided to end his stay at the Citadel.

Before leaving the prince will forge the links

He is already seven years old and has built a great reputation, he also created many ties and alliances. His spynetwork is in its infancy but the important thing is that it is already underway.

It's time to go home and start introducing his inventions to improve his kingdom.

But before that he still has to do some things in the Citadel.

***

Doran entered the classroom after Maester Marwyn left it. In the classroom of Higher Mysteries, or Magic Studies, is the entrance to one of the secret rooms. Today is the sixth day of the week, Saturday in his old world, so there are no theory lessons. Today the students have practical or research classes, the Smithing & Metalworking students are in the forges, the Agriculture students are in the farms belonging to the Citadel,...

Doran found it strange that Marwyn was in the deserted classroom but he didn't give it much importance, he thought that maybe he likes working there to correct essays or exams since there is peace and quiet.

The prince entered the room and went straight to the end of the class, where the podium from which the teacher teaches class is located. On the wall there is a blackboard and several paintings, Doran removes the painting of a dying knight looking at the sunrise. Between the bricks of the walls he sees a small hole.

Doran activates his medallion and raises his right hand.

"Alohomora!"

A click sounds and a hidden door is revealed, the prince replaces the painting in its place and enters the secret room, closing the door behind him, he doesn't want to think about the fuss if he is caught red-handed.

The secret room is as dark as the surname of his other-life godfather.

"Lumos"

A white light appears in his hand."Bloody Hell!"

The sight before him made his blood run cold and he felt his stomach drop.

Doran saw a banner with a familiar symbol, a symbol he only learned less than a year ago and it inspired him fear and anger.

Seven swords forming a seven pointed star in the middle of a golden sun.

"The Holy Order of the Seven."
