Harry was not expecting Groga to start talking about his Vita Heart. He had always thought that no one in the tribe was aware of his unique body. He thought that he was different, and it might have something to do with some rare body condition that the people of the Vulcan tribe are not even aware of.
But when Groga mentioned his heart, Harry started evaluating everything that he had assumed about the tribe, "What about my heart?" He questioned, acting innocent so that he could fish out some more information.
Groga looked down and gestured towards his heart, "This is where the heart of humans and most Vita Wielders lies. It is through here that the blood is pumped throughout our body."
He nodded, so Groga added, "Most of the humans and Vita Wielders share the same type of body. But some variants in Vita Wielders could be seen from time to time." Then Groga pointed towards his belly button, "Some Vita Wielders have an organ that stores Vita in their body here. It is in the shape of a small ball. This organ helps Vita Wielders to store Vita in huge quantities."
Harry then questioned, "Is there any other specific function of the organ, or is it just to store Vita?"
"Try, more Vita," Groga said. "Most Vita Wielders like me lack such organs. Because of which the Vita in their body lacks power and quantity. But people with specialized organs like Vita Externis are more durable, faster, and sustain a boasted state for a long time."
It is true. With my control, in my boasted state, I was stronger and faster than Imka. I am not able to sustain the form for long because I dont have the kind of control the Imka has. Harry thought.
"But my dear boy," Groga said with a proud face. "You have what we call Vita Pectus. It is an organ like Vita Externis, but is located here," He said while pointing towards the right chest.
"How do you know that?" Harry asked in an innocent yet astonished face, trying to fish for more information.
"Well, because of your cleansing process. Usually it gets over in a day or so, but with the amount of impurities that you were spewing, along with the time that you took.. It was clear enough that you have a Vita Pectus."
It seems that he is not aware that me having both the organs. He thought. Then Harry questioned, "Is it a good thing? Having Vita Pectus?"
Groga nodded, "Yes. It is a very good thing. People with Vita Pectus are very, very rare. Do you know even the Grand Priestess has a Vita Pectus? And with such an organ, you could become the Grand Priest of the Heks one day."
Grand Priest? To sit in that bitch's chair, I need to have a Vita Heart? Why? He was sticking to the names of the organs that he came up with. The Heks naming system was very bad to begin with.
"How.. How is that possible? Me? Grand Priest," He nervously chuckled, acting like a nervous boy of his age. At the time, he thought that acting in such a way from time to time helped, "What can Vita Pectus do?" He questioned.
Groga answered, "It could help you learn the Runic Arts." He said, sounding mysterious.
"What is that?" Harry asked.
Groga shrugged, "I dont know the specifics. A Hexer is not born in our tribe for quite a while. But I know this, they are some really weird and unpredictable fuckers. All the Hexers receive guidance from the Grand Priestess. And they are considered quite strong, as they have the ability to attack from a distance."
Hm.. Interesting. Harry then questioned, "Why is it that the Hexers are trained under the Grand Priestess? What is the point?"
Groga then went and picked up a stick. He then tried creating some symbols on the dirt, "You see these.. I think they are called the Language of Vita. One has to learn the language in order to become a Hexer."
Harry looked at the symbols and ordered Jenny to identify them. And sure enough, out of the four symbols that Groga created, he had seen three of them. These symbols were carved into the sacred dome, not to mention, they also appeared when Joron showed his essence on the top of the rock.
"So this is what these symbols are called…" he murmured, finally getting an answer about those symbols. He had asked Tina as well about the symbols, but she didnt recognize them.
Groga then stomped on the symbols, breaking his line of thought. The big man then put his hands on Harry's shoulder. "Adui.. Listen to me very closely. I have shown you Arnament, Manifestation, and Language of Vita so you could be aware. At the festival, if someone uses any of these three techniques, you would know what to expect. But the chances of anyone learning them and actually utilizing them are very low. But there is some possibility,"
Harry understood what Groga was trying to say. Out of the three techniques, the language was just the most difficult, as he was sure that no Heks member would have learned it. Learning a new language of symbols, when living in a society full of illiterates, is a very difficult task. He was sure that someone with the right mindset could learn Hardening, but not Manifestation. The amount of concentration that Groga showed and the amount of Vita utilized in these techniques made Harry very sure that not many kids from the Heks would be able to learn it.
"Now let's start with the real training," Groga said. Then Groga took out two wooden knives from his belt and smeared them into some sort of white powder. Then he handed one of the knives to Harry, "Let's see what your current state of hand-to-hand combat is."
