7 7 Romance?

My brother being 6 years older than me has been betrothed to a woman named Lagatha a year younger than him. My sister being 4 years older than me has still yet to be betrothed. My parent have sat me down asking me about my future. My father began "Son it's been years since the marriage offer. Have you come to a decision?" Before I could answer my mother spoke up saying "I think you should marry Ranvi, she is quite beautiful and just a year older." I happened to agree with my mother saying "Yes her fair skin and hour glass body is quite beautiful. She is always nice to me so I think it would be a good match." My father then followed saying "Great I will talk with her father and secure your engagement." My mother continued "You should talk with the girl and see her opinion." I agreed with them already knowing that she had a crush on me.

I have seen the girl watching me like a hawk. I. the following days I have seen her watching me train in both magic and physical strength. When I was practicing magic, I could see her jealousy as her eyes longed to learn. While I was training magic in the woods just outside the wood six days after my parents discussion I saw her spying like always. I said aloud "If you wish to watch then you need not spy." She slowly approached saying "sorry I didn't want to interrupt you." I smiled affirming "It's fine you aren't interrupting, let me show you some of my abilities." I guided her to behind me for her safety. Then I cut a tree in half with a wave of my hand. Teaching her I said "That was an elemental attack using wind to form a blade." Then with my palm facing the tree I used Transfiguration slowly moving the tree stump to form a thrown. Then furthering my Transfiguration I changed the wood into a golden thrown.

When I turned around the girls jaw was practically on the floor. Grabbing her hand I pulled her to the thrown telling her to sit down. Once seated her mouth closed for a second before she questioned "If you can make gold why isn't our village filled with gold?" To her question I chuckled saying "That was called Transfiguration, though it is golden now once the magic I put into the wood is empty the gold will revert to wood." With a nod of her head she rubbed her ching asking "So this will revert to a stump? Do you know how long it will last." Answering I said "No the gold will become wood but the chair will remain since I made it from the original material." With wide eyes she said "So you can make any shape as long as you have the materials." With a nod I walked to the felled tree and cut it into smaller sections. Again I tranfigured the wood only this time I made a small doll that resembled Randvi. I picked up the doll which was like a wooden brats doll I handed it to her saying that it was hers to keep.

With a bright smile that could kill a man, she asked "I heard that we are to be betrothed. Did you hear about it?" With a smile I said "Yes my parents asked me who I would like to marry. Your father had offered your hand many years ago but we were still young. I would be an idiot to not take your hand." Being fair skinned her blush was quite prominent after my statement. Then I showed her my lightning hands while targeting the wood. Using another piece of wood I took a few seconds imagining the wood turning into a miniature wyvern. The wood follows suit becoming a small red wyvern similar to the Welsh dragon from the Goblet of Fire movie.

The Wyvern moved and acted like a normal wyvern. Using a twig I crafted a small sword, giving said sword to the doll u animated the doll making it like Pinocchio. Turning another wood log into a table I made a platform for the two figures to create a dueling scene. Randvi with wide and excited eyes asks "You said that they will only last if they have magic is there a way they can collect magic naturally?" To which I answer "Yes if I carved a ruin into the items they can collect mana but Floki doesn't have such a rune. If I can learn such a rune I can make animated dolls, I only wish they could become sentient but they only follow simple commands. These figures fighting are only following my thoughts as I am pushing more mana into them." I stop pushing mana only for the dolls to stop moving, then i continued with the show. Ranvi quizzically ask "Whay is mana?" To which I explain I call my magic energy mana since it sounds better", recieving a nod from her.

With a sad face Randvi remarks "I only wish I could learn magic. I was tested by Floki like everyone else but nothing happened, my mother told me when I first saw you use magic." Attempting to brighten the mood, I said "Well when we are older our house will be filled with runes and hopefully I can learn a way to allow anyone to use runes." We continued chatting about her likes and dislikes learning her favorite color is blue and she loves to create things as she shows braided bracelets. We chatted till dinner time, being chivalrous I walked her home.

Returning home I was hounded with questions from my whole family. Later learning my sister had come to check on me only to see Randvi and I playing with my magic. My sister also asked for a doll to which after I returned to the woods collecting wood. Once I had the wood I created a long house version of barbies dream house. I even created a doll resembling all of the family. Though my sister is older, the toys still give her joy as I make the dolls do a simple dance on the dining table. My whole family stood around as the dolls danced the waltz. The dolls each paired up, making me create another Randvi doll for my doll to dance with. We watched the dolls elegantly glide across the table.

The next day, I returned to my training in the woods, bringing along my familiars. While in the woods practicing I ask "Coro can you use magic like me." She nods opening her beak allowing a fire ball to shoot out. Laughing she says "Yeah my affinity is fire and Bran can use lightning." After Bran used his magic to give himself a lightning cloak with arcs of lightning coming of his body looking like Star Killer from Star Wars Force Unleashed. Not wanting to be upstaged, Coro did the same making flames cover her. Seeing how they used magic I attempted to copy their moves. First I started with the flames, causing my temperature to increase. Next I copied Brans lightning which made me feel tingly. With the lightning. Wanting to train my mana and physique I wanted to run with my lightning cloak like the Rikage. With my push off my muscles explode with power pushing me directly into a tree.

Deciding to end my training for the day I went toward the village. On my short walk back I found some of the villagers standing around the throne I made the day before. Getting closer I found the village head cutting the bottom of the stump attempting to get the chair. To my surprise the wood was still gold. The chief named Rollo was nearly through the stump. He said aloud "If we sell this we're going to be rich." Not wanting to draw attention to the fact that I made it. Noticing Randvi was about to speak I placed my hand over her mouth. whispering into her ear I said "Don't tell them, they might want me to make gold and trade it and that will definitely cause feuds." Realizing she nodded, using my hand I pulled the mana out of the wood causing the stump to turn back into wood. Rollo seeing the wood chair looked like he wanted to cry as he dropped his felling axe and walked back to the village.
