If anybody as any suggestions or questions just post them in the comment section. Here is your chapter.
----------------------------------------
Just recently I had another seizure and hallucination. Luckily it was at night so no one noticed but if something like that were to happen in the middle of a fight or when many people were around, I would be questioned.
The hallucination this time around wasn't too long. Maybe a few minutes. It wasn't as bad as usual either. The corpses didn't seem as motivated into harassing me as they usually do and the abyss was quietly remaining in its spot and not doing anything suspicious. Which in itself was suspicious.
My fist birthday is going to becoming up in a month so my eyes will begin to change color soon. You cannot absorb any elemental essence until you are aware of what elements are yours. When your eye color completely changes, that is the time a small insignia will appear somewhere on your body and mark you as an E.U.
I hope I am able to use my element. Can you imagine the different ways you can torture a human being with the help of magic? Vale told me many different ways you can cause endless misery and agony through torture. One of the ways was to use water magic and rupture every organ then remove the water through holes in their bodies. Another way was to use wind magic to cut pieces each little bone off of their body.
I can wait to try these techniques on people, but being in a not even one year olds body makes it hard to move around. This is one of the reasons I haven't been doing anything except for some stretches in my bed. Another reason for me not doing anything is Helga who watches me like a hawk except when it's nighttime.
Since I can't do anything I ponder the infinite number of ways to kill and torture someone. Luckily soon I will be set free. When children turn three they begin on the path they are suited to. If I get the insignia and become an E.U. then I will begin learning mediation techniques that help absorb elements. If I don't get the insignia I will start learning about politics from Kris, my father. He would want me to help my brother Daniel when he becomes leader of the family and town.
Well I must get back to pondering the ways of torture and being lazy in my bed.
----------------------------------------
The night before my birthday.......
I am anxious about tomorrow. My eyes will change color and I will learn if I ca become a E.U. On the child's first birthday is also the day they see their appearance in the mirror for the first time. Apparently the custom has to do with 'only when they know shall they see.' This refers to knowing their element and only when they do know will they see what they look like. Kinda strange if you ask me.
I also heard my father talking to someone, I'm not sure who, about the other man's child. It went something like this.
"It's horrible my son is so slow at absorbing elements. The first E.U. we have in years and he reaches the 3 level at 20. 20!!!! The average age is 15." Old man crying about his weakling of a son.
"That's okay Josh. I'm sure he'll pick up the pace real soon and become an amazing E.U. He may even be able to become a 9th level one." My father talking to the old man. His voice is the I-really-don't-give-a-shit voice.
"I hope he does. After all, we spent all that money for him to go to Fortem Academy." Josh says.
"I'm sure that the tutors here were probably just slowing him down. Fortem academy is the top E.U. School in all of the continent of Terra." My father in the same voice as before.
"That's right. I'm sure Tom was just to great for those small time E.U. He must be flourishing in that place were he can show his true talents!" Josh said in his bragging voice. "That's right. Your son's first birthday is coming up."
"That's right. I can only hope he is and E.U. After all with Tiffany's death we lost an E.U. Of the family making us weaker, even if she was weak." Kris said. I only learned of this recently, but my dad is level 7, which is considered exceptional. Even my sister probably won't get stronger than that. The top level here on Terra is 9. And the person who is there has been hardly ever seen. Once you reach level 8 you can live for many years over the normal life expectancy.
"I'm sure that he will be one. After all he has your mighty blood flowing through his veins. Even if he is a bit strange." Josh said. He seems to have forgotten that Daniel couldn't use magic.
"Strange he might be, but he is still my son." Father said. Now that I think about it, many people have commented on how strange or weird I looked. Of course not to my face. They usually just say something to Ellie or Helga. Guess I'll find out what they are talking about tomorrow.
Josh and father kept talking all night, but nothing they said was of any importance after that.
----------------------------------------
The Following Day.........
When I woke up that morning I felt strange. It wasn't a good or bad type of strange it was just..... uncomfortable. It was as though I was wearing someone else's skin. I did feel revitalized though. I hoped this meant that I had become an E.U.
Just when I was about to check my body for the insignia, but I realized I couldn't see anything. I didn't become blind or something. Helga and the other family members put a piece of cloth over my eyes so they or myself couldn't see my eyes or my insignia until the revealing party.
The party is something every family goes through, poor or rich. They take the cloth off the eyes to see the insignia then they do a full body examination for the insignia. Even if you have several or one element if you don't have the insignia it's just for show. This explains the lack of E.Us.
"Helga!!!!" I decided to yell and get your attention. My legs were still not strong enough to hold my body so I had to be carried or crawl everywhere. I can't wait till I can finally walk.
Helga then comes sprinting in, at least how fast her old lady legs and carry her. I couldn't see anything so I couldn't see what her face looked like.
"Ellie, Daniel, Timothy, and Kris come here. He's awake!!!!!" Helga screamed at the top of her lungs. I then heard the clatter of footsteps running towards my room.
"Brother can you believe that today's the day!" Daniel, I presumed from the voice.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"I can't wait to see my cute baby brother's eyes. I'm sure they will be adorable no matter what color." Ellie, of course. It seems that every time she speaks I meant to kill her. Not even torture, just kill her, for she is sooooooo annoying.
"Where's Timothy and your father?" Questioned Helga. I too, was curious.
"They're getting ready for the party." Daniel said.
"Still?" Helga said with a disappointment filled voice.
"Yes. They have been trying really hard. They invited many people from town and many nobles are expected to come." Daniel said happily. The town my father ran was called Terripol. It was a decent sized place with many residents and was a popular place because it was on a major river so it got lots of trade. I was happy that many people are there. It men's I can lengthen my list of targets to kill.
"Is that so? I guess I will start preparing Agiel for the revealance ceremony." Helga then came and lifted me up. The revealance ceremony was just some that the nobles went through. It was just some thing were you say a bunch of words and they reveals our eyes to everybody present.
I was currently wearing a long white sleeved shirt and pants. I also had gloves and soft sock-like shoes on. The cloth over my face covered most of my face . The reason being was that no one could see the mark if I had one and no one can see my eyes. The revealance robes were put over my current clothes. They were a deep red color with embroidery running throughout the garment. It probably didn't look very good on a one year old's body, but that was expected. I would say I am quite tall for my age.
While Helga was dressing me she kept on talking about how mother would have loved to be here. Helga said she loved her family and was a kind and compassionate woman who cared for the ones less fortunate than herself. She seems like the kind of person I hate. The goody-two-shoes people who are all about justice and good things.
Helga also told me that mother had a hard time gathering elements because her body naturally rejected the elements. This meant she could take in very little at a time or else her body would begin to push it away. this meant that she absorbed very slowly and was never able to receive the personification of her soul.
I wasn't sure why Helga was telling me this but I wasn't concerned with that at the moment. I was worried about my hallucinations and seizures and if they would happen during the ceremony. It would be bad if they did and I'm not in the mood to see the abyss. After I woke up this morning, the strangeness in my body was accompanied by a pit in my stomach. It felt heavy and uncomfortable but it was not like the strangeness in my body. It was .........different.
I can only hope the ceremony goes well.

Vale and the others..........
"Vale did the boy say anything about his hallucinations?" Asked the blonde haired goddess.
"No." Vale replied from the pitch black eeriness of the space they were in."I'm sure he was suspicious about all of you asking for him to be reincarnated by your rules. I doubt he thought it was all because of his illness."
"Is that so? I thought he would've mentioned something. Are you sure that he didn't say anything?" This time the black haired man from before spoke.
"I'm positive." Vale replied with confidence in his voice. He remembered everything Agiel said from the time he first spoke. After all he had to keep a very, very close eye on him.
"I'm was sure he would've mentioned something." The blonde hair goddess spoke again.
"He didn't say anything. And no matter how many times you ask, the answer will never change." Vale was annoyed by these people's persistence. "Not many people would mention anything about 'that'."
"I wish he would've said something. We really needed to know how Abyss was doing. Make sure it wasn't messing with anything." Blondie spoke again.
"I'm sure Abyss will be fine. He hasn't been awakened in over 7 billion years and has had countless carriers. There is no reason for this one to be 'the one.'" Vale said.
"One time there is going to be one who wakes it up. It may be this one or it may be one in the distant future." Darkie spoke with a nonchalant voice but in reality he was worried. If 'it' got out then the heavens would be scared and the mortals would be massacred.
"Agiel was aware that Abyss is not someone to play around with. So I don't think that he will go around and mess with 'it'." Vale said. "After all, he was already killed by 'it' once, and I'm pretty sure that he doesn't want to die again. He even told me that he wanted his disease back because he enjoyed it. Enjoyed the killing that is."
"He was already killed by it!!!!!?" Blondie and Darkie exclaimed at the same time. Their faces a picture of horror.
"Yes. The corpses pulled him into the Abyss. Or he jumped off a building. Whatever floats your boat." Vale said quitely. "What's the matter?"
"Vale. The prophecy stated that 'the one who died by his hand, will come forth once again to become strong and the vessel of something with no end. The one will become the vessel of the Abyss the one who scares the gods. For everything is lost in its gaze.'" Blondie said, practically shouting.
"Oops. Guess I didn't read that part."
"This isn't a joke Vale. If the Abyss were to awaken we would certainly die." Darkie said with a flustered expression plastered on his face.
"Doesn't it take many years for Abyss to awaken even if he is the one?" Vale asked.
"Yes, it usually does. But some reports stated that Abyss could awaken in 5 years or 1000 years. It all depends on the vessel. But I only hope that Abyss is controlled before he awakens. I do not want to see the aftermath of Abyss's exploits. And I have already seen the devastion of one of them." Darkie replied.
Blondie, Darkie, and Vale could only hope Agiel would die before Abyss was awakened or that Agiel would control Abyss.
