Chapter 7

The next morning, I found myself sleeping together with Nele and Nari, I was sure that the girls were sleeping together in the bed next to mine but now I’m hugged from the left by Nele and right by Nari. While I was wondering how I got myself in this situation, the girls woke up.

[*hyaawn* m-morning.]

[Good morning.]

Yawning and with sleepy faces, the girls greeted me.

I found their faces really cute, this is a first for me.

[Good morning.]

I greeted them and I got down from the bed. I decided to ask nothing, if the girls want to sleep with me then I have no reason to refuse.

Last night, after the battle was over, I called all the demi-humans to regroup at the center of the town because I had something to tell them.

[Good job in taking your freedom back, I’m sure that most of you don’t know how to live their lives now, but this was not the end of the fight, the humans will come here to retake this city but we will not fight for it, this city is not worth your new lives, instead, we need more companions to along us!]

[Whoaaa!!]

Most of them were slaves all their lives and now they didn’t know what to do, so I gave them a reason to live.

[Those who want to regain the freedom of your race listen to me.]

Now the most important part.

[Take everything you want! Money, food, weapons and go back to your villages, tell everyone to go to the ruins of the Elven capital, there we will make our now homes!]

The girls told me that in the depth of the Soira forest are the ruins of the Elven country, after the war with humans, the capital was destroyed. Those ruins were perfect for what I wanted to do.

[Gather all the people who want to fight against the humans. We will meet there in one month.]

The Elven capital was a place hard to reach for humans, they will not get there in less than two months. Two months were more than enough to gain power and create an army strong enough to win the first, real battle.

[Hayle! Lord! Lord! Lord!]

They shouted and cheered. I don’t know from where this “Lord” come from but I don’t mind it.

After I concluded my speech, I walked away with the girls towards the Inn where all of this started. We decided to sleep there for the night.

After we waked up and had breakfast I took the girls around the city. What I’m searching are Magic Books. I need more power, and to gain more power Magic was something I couldn’t ignore, I entered a Magic Shop together with the girls.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

[There are some Books, I can’t read them so I don’t know if they are what you search.]

Nele guided me towards some books on a raft. All of them had a tree painted on the cover.

[Why are this tree painted on each cover?]

I asked the girls hoping for a answer.

[This is the symbol of magic. Every object released by the magic guild have those trees imprinted onto.]

[Oh, I understand, thank you.]

After I thanked Nari for the answer I took one book and turned the first page. I could read them, reading them was as natural as breathing.

The title was behind the cover “Novice level magic”. I took a seat and started to read aloud for the girls to hear.

“Magic is the use of Will combined with the energy of the body, combining Will and energy is possible to give form to a new kind of power within the caster’s body. Combining those two will form what we call Mana, the quantity of mana one have, depend on the individual. Only a few can fuse the two and give life to Mana within the body, the more Mana is used, the stronger the spell become. Everyone have his own way to combine Will and energy, you have to discover your own for the next step.

First Basic Spell “Fire”

Fire is your body.”

So the Will need energy to manifest? In other words I have to put energy in my Will to give form to it. This is easier than I though.

I imagined my body becoming fire, the fire burning my flesh without causing any pain. This feeling is familiar, the feeling of the fire burning me is almost as if is real, I feel the heat and the sounds of flames, then I gave energy to my will.

As I did that my body is covered in white flames, flames with no heat nor sound, burning silently.

[M-Master, what is that?!]

Nari jumped from her seat running toward me.

[Stop!]

I stopped Nari from coming near me, there is no heat in those flames but the book in my hands evaporated without leaving anything behind, if she touched me then she will die.

[I can’t explain why those flames are like this, but if you touch them you’ll die.]

As i said that, I concentrated on making the flames disappear. After some time, the flames leaved my body. I can feel a new kind of power within my body.
