Meeting
I was now 8 years old. The past 3 years were quite nice, ignoring the fact that I couldn't move around well. My wheelchair helped a bit and had spread as a tool that allows either too young or too poor people to move around. It had also brought lots of money for the Blackwing-family, but I didn't care about that.
My days were filled with reading books, now mostly about magic, chatting with Risa, who didn't kiss me again, and trying to control my measly amount of magic powers. Even though I hadn't awakened my powers for real yet, I could heal the small scratches and bruises that were caused by my awkwardness of moving without using my lower body. I could also create a small ball of light to help me read and move small things a bit.
An Interesting thing I now could do was changing my affinities of light and darkness. The thing was that the colour of my wings, eyes and hair changed accordingly. At 80% darkness my wings were pure black, my usually golden eye darkened and my dirty blonde hair became black. At 80% light my wings were pure white, my black eye became more greyish and my hair became golden and started to glow a bit.
My halo also changed a bit, it glowed more or less, depending on the amount of light affinity I had.
Because I had absolutely no use for darkness spells, I usually stayed with 80% light affinity.
I also sometimes looked at my [status].
Unsurprisingly most of my physical parameters had dropped, but what was really interesting was that my affinities changed. Asking Narta I got the information that after occurrences that heavily affected people there was a chance for their affinities to rise. This was one of the reasons why mages and wizards often accompanied parties into areas where a dungeon core has appeared. The other main reason was obviously money.
This day me and Risa were sitting in a meeting room with all our teachers, which had quite a number as Risa had more teacher than me. We had some meetings like this before, mostly because I had read so much that I surpassed Risa in some subjects, but also because the teachers wanted to talk to each other. I never really paid much attention to the teachers talk and only chatted with Risa and Narta about trivial things. This time apparently one of the teachers of Risa had something to announce so I had to listen to that person.
The one wanting to notify us about something was Risas magic, manners and trading teacher, an old hag. She looked like one and I didn't remember her name so I just called her so in my mind.
After having some light chitchat with each other she stood up and went to the front end of the table, starting to talk on the way: “As you may know I had worked here for quite some time before you all, therefore I immediately noticed when something felt strange. Now I finally know what was the cause of it all: we have a traitor under us. I do not know who, but I know an easy spell to find out. I have already prepared everything, so please just sit and relax while I cast my......”
She stopped mid-sentence, eyes wide open.
“Now!” somebody shouted while ripping out his dagger from her corpse.
A window got destroyed by arrows and the sitting in front of it got hit several times.
Other windows got destroyed by masked people crashing through with weapons and trying to kill teachers.
Isaac and some others reacted and shielded themselves from ones coming through the wall behind them.
Narta shielded Risa, herself and me with a barrier.
Then shadows rose up and I couldn't see anything outside the shielding anymore.
I could hear people dying, some crying for help.
Spells going off.
An unfinished incantation.
Explosions, body parts hitting the barrier.
Then the ceiling caved in.
After a while the dust settled and I could see again.
The whole part of the building was destroyed. There was blood all over a part of a wall, an area was covered in ice, some walls were molten down and at one end a crater was visible. Among all that stood some people, most of them heavily injured, some trying to help others, and all of them teachers.
Amongst them my PE-teacher, who had barely any damage, came closer to our small group. Looking at us he made a disdainful face and spoke out: “I told you that you shouldn’t shield them, idiot!”
I looked at Narta, not understanding anything.
Then that guy continued: “Haaaaa… I really need to do everything myself.”
Then he held a heart in his ha….
“RISA!”
I put her head on my lap, stroked her soft hair….
“no, no, no ,no… [Heal], [Heal], [Heal], [Heal], [Heal], please [HEAL]........it doesn’t work……”
“If [Heal] doesn’t work, then I just need to resurrect…..I need more mana!
how? how…..how…..how…..I know! forced awakening! They told me that I would be consumed by mana within minutes, but that's time enough….. I don’t care if I die, but she…..”
I forced more mana.
It didn't really hurt. It burned a bit, but felt rather elevating, having so much mana. Enough to do whatever I want!
First: recreate the body!
Easy: just imagine her body in pristine condition.
With so much mana that alone is enough. I couldn't even blink and she looked fine again.
Second: call back the soul!
Not quite so easy, but I just thought about seeing them and then I could.
Then, take the one that feels right and force that one in.
Last: give the body life!
With blurring vision and the strength leaving my body, that's a bit hard, but when I lay down next to her and imagine her breathing……….
