Chapter 49 time has no meaning

"I have searched the whole library! I'm sure its not here! Where could that pen be?

Might I have left it somewhere outside the library? But... I'm always in my library! I almost never go out!

Might I have left it in the kitchen? Or maybe at the mess hall... Oh I know! The throne room!

Nonononono, it cannot be in the throne room, Mother would have found it already!

Good news is I'm not the only clumsy one!

While searching every nook and cranny of my library, I found an ice crystal made with the Pond of Life's water!

That could mean only a single thing!

Ezili Laume Eingana Nerthus Auril, the faery of water is as clumsy as me!

If I bring the ice crystal to her and explain what happened, she might be so grateful and help me search!

She did prank me, kinda recently too, but she will be in my debt! So, she will help me!

I hope at least..."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"Personal diary of Bee May, Day 158 from the discovery of the misplacement of my writing pen."

Without Mira around, the training frenzy was over for Little Wolf and he could possibly have been happier. He loved being here, he was with two of his favourite people, his parents. They talked a lot, played in the water a lot, they even trained a little... lot. Fianna had to get used to the Demonic energy that came from her Essence and coursed through her body. Sidon and Fianna fought hand to hand for a long time, only when Fianna felt confident enough to control her newfound strenght, Little Wolf joined them.

Both Sidon and Fianna could beat Little Wolf easily, they knew him well and they trained for a lot more time. Obviously Little Wolf could overpower them with bursts of Demonic energy but... If he could not beat them by using the same ammount of energy, how could he do what Mira said and beat the enemy by using as little energy as possible?

If he fought like a White Stalker and, it was still new for him so it was really hard to do! He could beat Fianna, not always, some times... He caught her by surprise twice and beat her! But it was progress, right? "Not really..." "SHUT UP!"

Sidon, the new Sidon was unstoppable, he dominated his Demonic energy easily now. He was already strong and fast before, now? Little Wolf did not want to fight his father, ever! Little Wolf has never defeated Sidon once! And he was so strong when he was old! Now he is young again and stronger! While Fianna was not around Sidon was a little moody. Now that Fianna was back to his side, young and full of vigor... Sidon was reborn.

"C'mon son! Lets fight again! I'll teach you how to throw people really far!"

"Please no! Mira threw me around enough for a while!"

"Wait dear... I think I just noticed... You have never called Little Wolf with his name, right?"

"... He is my son, can't I call him son?"

"Ehhh? Really? Did dad really never call my name?"

"Sidon dear, do you have a problem with my naming sense?"

Asked Fianna, fists to her sides, a small smile to her lips and a really scary glare to her eyes.

"Actually, could I be just Wolf? Or maybe Awe Wolf, or Wolf's Awe? I'm not little anymo-"

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Said forever Little Wolf with a small voice, he could not finish his sentence as Fianna gave him a death gaze.

"W-well... You know dear... I don't like long names... I even call you just Fia most of the times... A-a-and Little Wolf... It's super long! Two words, two! And... it cannot be shortened..."

Tried to explain Sidon.

"I do not understand you naming sense, Awe "LITTLE WOLF!" is not little nor a wolf."

Safe coolly interjected.

"Names don't need to always mean something! It's the feelings that someone gives to the name that make them important!"

"Feelings and naming... I've lived my entire life inside a White Stalker, feelings are names. Little Wolf is no feeling."

"Little Wolf is and will always be my Little Wolf. When my husband found him, so little, so alone. The feelings of joy that filled me when I saw him for the first time. In these sixteen snows that Little Wolf lived with us, a hole inside my heart that I thought would stay as a gaping wound for my entire life, every time I see him, it heals a little, every smile, every single one of his sweet actions. You might be inside him, you might be the guardian that his mother left to protect him when she could not. I am thankful, because of Joy, because of you too Safe, I met this wonderful child. I really am but, I will not let anyone change his name, his memory, our memories and feelings are inside that name!"

Fianna's eyes were red and puffy, she was fighting hard to not start with the waterworks.

Sidon dragged his woman to his chest and Little Wolf gave them both a big hug.

Their family moment was short lived, water splashed on the three of them and rudely cooled their mood.

The water from the pond exploded outward, Mira was back.

"Oh Fianna, you are back." She said simply. "Little Wolf, get fucking ready, thanks to that watery bit-"

Mira got interrupted by a water jet to the face, that turned into a finger, followed by a hand closed into a fist, that was followed by an arm, that was followed by a human-like or more Sidon-like torso, it had no head nor lower body. The watery giant hovered over Mira, it was like it was telling her to 'shush'. Mira growled, the watery finger exploded. The water construct looked unfazed, its fist reformed, it brought his thumb to its watery throat and made it slide from one side to the other then did a thumb down. Mira roared and jumped to the torso of the watery abomination, it exploded on contact, the water spinning around Mira. The water reformed into a hand and caught Mira's legs then, Mira was slammed repeatedly onto the ground. When the watery creature noticed that the ground was taking the punishment instead of Mira it started to throw her in the air and bounce her around.

Mira fed up of being played threw a punch, the air vibrated with the visible kinetic energy use. The watery creature exploded once again, this time almost the entire clearing was filled with water droplets. They coaleshed into a sphere around Mira, then it started to twirl and spin the poor woman.

"She is sure strong but, she looks a little..."

Said Sidon.

"Unhinged?"

"Yeah... When she lost it and started pummeling my son into the ground, I was about to burn every ounce of my Demonic energy and try to stop her."

"Yeah, she is really strong. From what I'm seeing now... She never fought me seriously, even when she lost it for a moment before."

Added Little Wolf.

"You were lucky she was not using her kinetic energy."

"But she did use it." Said Little Wolf confused. "I felt the air become stiff, it was really hard to move and when I did, it burned so much Demonic energy. Safe and me decided that if she broke one of my Demon's Hearts, he would take control of my body and use a miracle to blast her."

"So you can use kinetic energy like that too uh?"

"I think... That kinetic energy is something you gain if you move... You can use it to move things harder or slow them."

Finally Mira was left exhausted on the ground, the water was back into the pond but it looked somewhat proud.

"So," she started. "The faery of water took great care of me, she even explained in detail that controlling the flow of water or the flow of time is really similar. She took a thousand years to explain it to me... I was really pissed at the start... But time heals everything so, I started thinking how to train you. The water faery and me just came to an agreement, I will teach you EVERYTHING you can learn with just three Demon's Hearts, then we will get kicked out of here and time will flow normally again. You will have to travel and increase your Demonic energy until you get a fourth heart. After you get the next heart, I will teach you some more."

"I did not understand the half of what you explained me..."

Said Little Wolf.

"I did and it's the best way for you to become Awe, so when do we start?"

Mira disappeared from where she was standing, Little Wolf tried to move but he was too slow, he got kicked in the chest and sent flying.

"Time has no meaning here so, we already started!"

Said Mira.
