We enter a small room with a large bed in the middle. Sitting in the middle of the bed in a ray of sunlight, looking out the window, is a small girl. She looks to be around ten and is obviously her fathers daughter, as she looks a bit cat-like, and has long, wavy, amber hair down to her waist. She's looking out the window, to the fields outside of the village. She's quite beautiful for a kid that age, almost like a doll if it wasn't for the fur. To be honest, she took by breath away.

``Hi Emelia''

``Doctor Shale! I'm so glad you came, my body has been acting up again.''

``So I heard. Emelia, I want you to meet my son, Nathan.''

``Hello Nathan, My name is Redsun Emelia, nice to meet you.''

``Hello''

"Doctor Shale" huh.. So he is a doctor..

``Now pay attention Nathan. Emelia has a disease, so I am going to treat her, that is what I do. When people get sick, I go to help them. Emelia is often sick, so I come here about twice a month to treat her.''

``I understand''

``As usual, you are a bright kid. Now look, this is how I treat her. Emelia, would you please turn around and remove your gown?''

``Yes doctor Shale.''

She turns around, facing the window, and opens her gown. She then pulls it down past her shoulders, revealing her back.

``Now pay attention. I am going to use magic to heal her body. Life of the liquid gather through me, by the will of the mother, I command!"

As he chants, green mana particles gather along his spine. The moment he finishes, they solidify into a glowing aura spreading from the top of his neck down along his spine, out to his shoulders and hips and wrapping around his arms and legs, hovering a few centimeters from his skin. There's an ever-changing pattern flowing across it, like the waves of a windy ocean.

Holy shit, this I did not expect to see. Damn what is this? Even the pearls on his lizard pet is glowing, what's going on?

``This is called channeling. I am currently channeling the mana in my body into my aura, where I can use it to cast spells. You too can do this, though it will take you some time and effort to succeed. Now, let us begin..''

He puts his hands onto Emelia's back, and his aura starts flowing the top of his neck down across his arms and into Emelia, or at least that's what it looks like. He keeps at this for about half an hour before he stops.

``That will be it for today, how are you feeling Emelia?''

``Much better, thank you doctor Shale..''

``Then that will be it for today. I will see you next time Emelia. Shale say goodbye to Emelia, we are going home now.''

``Goodbye Emelia, I am glad my father could help you''

``Me too! Goodbye Nathan, goodbye doctor Shale..''

She seems tired, the whole ordeal must have taken a toll on her.

My father briefly says goodbye to Alfred, and takes me back home. When the village is no longer in sight, I ask him:

``Will she be alright?''

``.. No.. Her body is weak, and she is often sick. My magic can heal her, but it cannot cure her. She will always have a fragile body, unfortunately.''

``Will you take me with you next time you treat her?''

``If that is what you want, then I am sure it will not be a problem. She has a brother and sister your age. I am sure you could get along with them, though they are a bit more.. Energetic, than you are.''

Well it was her that I wanted to talk to, but having friends my own age won't be too bad either.

That being said..

I do not look forward to having three year olds for friends..
