In the evening, during dinner, Akirion wearing Thaneiros’ t-shirt. He spoke about the dreams that he was having for two days.
’I’ve been having some kind of dreams, I don’t understand anything, I’m sure it’s something important, I feel like if I try doing something that I saw in that dream, I’ll learn something important.’ the curious Akirion said, after he saw many things in his dreams. At first, he thought maybe it was his thoughts, but he saw it again.
’ It’s better that you thought that, you can try it, maybe you will get to know about what ability you got.’
’What ability are you talking about Master?’
’ According to the legend, ancient times, humans once had magic, it’s not that much far I guess. If I think about it, it happened during the time of your great grandfather or so.’
’Ohh, I see! So how is it connecting to abilities?’ Akirion asked because he was all ears, but the story felt short.
’The magic powers that they had were different types of magic, like groups. Many people had one type or two types, it was rare for people to have many abilities or skills.’
’Ohh okay, you haven’t said anything about what kind of a skill or ability did those people have.’
’Hohoho, you are really fast, okay. They were 4 main types of abilities, as I said, many of the humans at that time had one or two abilities, so the abilities were ;
And they also had different ways of using them. First, fire. A fire magic user had to use fire, the fire lit up from his body, but he didn’t get burnt, and he was also able to summon fire from this earth.
Second, water. A water magic user used water the same way as fire but different outcomes. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say? ( Akirion nodded happily, didn’t want to disturb the moment.) Good, the third one was air. We all know that air is all around us, we can’t even get rid of it. So these users commanded the air from the world, in order to use it. Last one, the Earth. The Earth magic worked like air, just being commanded, they commanded the ground to move, shake and created rocks or so , with just that ability.’
’Wow, so I can do that?’
’Maybe, If you have that kind of magic powers, you can do something like that.’
’Ohh cool, so, back at the castle, I made smoke, so which group of magic is my magic power in?’
’Huh, smoke, I don’t really know, I guess it requires general knowledge. Let’s think of something that can make smoke.’
’ Ohhh, sure, why not?’
They searching for clues in every corner of their minds to find the idea of what can truly make smoke.
In a dark scary room, a thundering, echoing big voice sounded.
’SO, THE HUMANS GOT POWERS HUH? WE ARE DOOMED!’
’Why are you saying that, they are just humans, what can they do?’ A nice voice asked.
’THE LAST TIME, THE LORD WAS ALMOST KILLED BY THOSE HUMANS, SO WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO KILL THE HEIR BEFORE HE GETS POWERS.’
’It’s too late because he does!’
’WHAAAAAAT?! REALLY?! WE ARE DOOMED. WE WILL HAVE TO NEUTRALIZE HIM, ANYTIME SOON, YOU SAID THE SURVIVOR WAS A YOUNGLING RIGHT?’
’GOOD, YOU SHOULD LOCATE HIM BEFORE HE GETS STRONGER, BEFORE HE GETS TO KNOW HOW TO USE HIS POWERS FULLY.’ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⦿fire.net
’Okay, give me a century, I’ll locate him.’
’A CENTURY!? IT’S TOO MUCH, WE WILL BE ERASED FROM LIVING BY THEN. AS LONG AS HE STILL LIVES AND IF HE GETS TO KNOW HOW TO USE HIS POWERS FULLY, WE WILL BE ERASED FOR SURE!’
’What do you mean sir? I don’t understand, a century is not that much remember?’
’NOT FOR HUMANS! HUMANS GROW DAY BY DAY AND THEY FULLY UNCOVER THE HIDDEN SECRETS IN THOSE DAYS. SO IF HE LIVES FOR SOMETIME, HE WILL ERASE US ALL.’
’Why are you saying that, he’s just a youngling, we will kill him like an insect, he’s a human remember? And we are Monsters, we rule over the universe.’
’NO! NOT WITH THAT YOUNGLING ALIVE, I TOLD YOU THAT THEY GROW DAY BY DAY, SO HE WILL BE TALLER IN JUST A HALF DECADE.’
’Whaaaaaat?! Really? Which means we are in a tight spot, but I realized something...’
’He can’t use his powers on his own will, he only used it by mistake once.’
’I SEE, THAT’S A RELIEF, WE CAN REST ASSURED’.
’BUT DON’T RELAX, TRY TO FIND THAT KID BEFORE THIS UPCOMING DECADE.’
’Wait a second, humans can’t leave for a day without food right?’
’YES, I KNOW THAT MUCH FOR NOW.’
’SO HE GOT NO PARENTS?’
’Yes, and he will starve to death.’
’WOW, NICE IDEA , BUT FIND HIM, I WANT HIS CORPSE IF HE DIED!’
’Wait Master, fire causes smoke right?’
’Good idea Akie, which will mean you are a f...wait, if you mix fire with water, they can be smoke too!’
’Which means that you can be both, fire and water.’
’Wow, can’t wait to even try to test it.’
’Haha, I know that, you can try it whenever you are in a clear place, who knows, it can be dangerous to try indoors just like the king said, magic users are dangerous to the public. So for now, may you please tell me about your dreams.?’
Meanwhile; Mika organized a general meeting for all the elders of the society to help Haruto. Just like Mika saw and heard, she tried to help Haruto to rethink about his idea before he executes it because it can be dangerous, not only for the society but also for the public.
’Sorry everyone for disturbing you today. The way I did this meeting was not good , please forgive me. But thank you for finding a bit of time to attend, I’m truly happy that all of the elders appeared. I’m Mika, Group A’s assistant manager. Mostly, deputy. Many of you know me, so, I’ll just jump to the case.
I’m the one concerned, I’m sure you all know the guy called, THE GHOST OF STEEL.( The elders started mumbling some unknown words to each other) Sir, Mr Haruto is planning to declare a war against the guy.’
’WHAT?’ Many elders asked the same question, they got surprised, they even asked if the guy was getting enough sleep, and also, if he was fine. But Mr arrogant Haruto replied positively and showed that he was fine, but the elders were left with a question mark, on why and how did he plan to attack such a neutral, retired assassin, who is now training kids to use swords not assassination processes.
’You won’t understand if you are not in this state, we are in the middle of searching the heir, I’m sure you all know what I mean,(the elders proved to be all ears, listening to Haruto’s story) Okay, so my research proved that the heir might be hiding behind those private walls, and and the Ghost guy is not allowing us to see the heir or to verify whether the heir is there or not.’
’I see my friend but that doesn’t mean you should attack him, and I’m not going along with you, you should know that. I know the guy you are talking about, the guy is a monster.’ another elder said.
’Not anymore. I know him too, I don’t actually need your help, I can do that on my own.’
’But you will be risking someone’s life, getting a lot of soldiers killed, just like Mika said, you will be putting the public in danger because you’ll make the guy go berserk again, and we can’t afford that, the guy is a monster. The whole Elysia will be in crisis, chaos. We won’t be able to stop him.’ a well built elder replied, adding some nice thoughts into the idea.
’He was a monster, the guy is old, I’m sure 5 soldiers of mine can take him down.’
’Haruto, are you sleeping or what, because it’s like you are in a dream world, we are talking about a well trained assassin, the city best assassin, he also helped in the last Elysian Big War. He contributed to the positive results too.’ Ryota added.
’Really? The guy is old, he lost the vibe, I’m sure....’
’Wait wait, have you seen him?’
’Why are you saying that he lost his vibe?’
He can’t be training kids if he lost his vibe, get that? You are surely dreaming, if you aren’t then you are getting mad.’
’Grrr, what did you say, I’m not mad get that, I’ll destroy all of you if you look down on me, I’ll destroy everything if I want. You guys should be helping me not criticizing me, now you’ve gone too far, this meeting is over.’ Haruto stood up and left.
