Chapter 4: Elder Marcus

Elijah's clan is on the edge of the main country.

The lizard beastmen lived not too far from the town.

(" That's who we mostly did business with although they are a weird tribe they have amazing food and they never disrespected us like the other tribes".). Elijah said to himself.

After eating breakfast with his family he tells them.

"I'm off to see the crazy old man that lives on the edge of town".

Elijah's mother Says. "Don't call him that. Elijah , he's your elder."

Both his father and brother laugh. He tells them all goodbye and takes his leave. "Train hard brother." Isaiah says while he's going to go train with their father

(" It really upset me that I couldn't train with them anymore. It seems like all of what they taught me so far it's going down the drain. Who doesn't get the same class as their father when their first born son?") Elijah said to myself.

As he makes his way through town Elijah gets hellos from all he's clansmen and when He gets to the edge of town He finally sees Elder Marcus' house which is like the oldest looking house he's ever seen.

"They don't even build a house like this anymore." Elijah says shaking his head. As He approaches the door He can already hear Elder Marcus talking to himself. Elijah rolls eyes.

Elijah knocks on the door and says. "Elder Marus, my grandfather Eli, your cousin sent me here to talk to you".

( Elijah was named after his grandfather) .

Elijah hears him approach the door but doesn't open it.

"Why would he send you ? Did you bring me some food? You don't look like the normal guy." Said the voice behind the door."

"No I didn't." Elijah says. Then Elijah says.

"you're the only one with the same Mystic subclass as me, Anubis."

Then the door opens up immediately and he's staring at Elijah with his crazy gold eyes.

"So you got the sight then my boy."

"What? Elijah says confusingly?

"Come in. he says as he pulls Elijah inside.

"you brought your lunch, right?

"Yea" Elijah says.

"really what did you bring ?" he replies.

"A lizardman dish."

Elder Marcus got surprised.

"You like lizardmen food too You're definitely an Anubis class". He says all of this while taking Elijah's lunch. Then he says,

"Well it's not like you're going to cook for me women?"

But Elijah could definitely tell that he was clearly not talking to him but an empty chair. He then said.

"Who are you talking to?"

Elder Marcus looks up from eating his lunch and looks at Elijah like it was a stupid question.

"Ugh, clearly my wife, smart ass." Elder Marcus said.

Then Elijah makes a face and was like.

"Oh Ight. Because Elder Marcus always says that when people ask him. It goes quiet for a few minutes then Elder Marcus says.

"Of course he can see you, he's got the same abilities as me." But he doesn't say in Elijah's direction. But to the chair again.

"Wait". He says. "You really can't see her?" as he puts Elijah's lunch down. Then Elijah starts to get up and says.

"You really shouldn't day drink Elder".

Then Elder Marcus rushes over towards Elijah and touches his Temple and Elijah collapses. While knocked out Elijah could feel the living energy outside like the animals and the plants. When he started to wake up he heard Elder Marcus talking and another voice that sounded like a young lady.

"I think he's waking up Marcus." said a soft voice.

As Elijah's eyes begin to open he sees a blue spirit-soul and the shape of a beautiful young woman. He freaks out for a second but her soul seems very calm and warm.

The whole time the elder was laughing. "I'm sorry kid." he said.

"I was just thinking, did I have that same reaction my first time seeing a spirit-soul."

"So this is what you mean (by the sight)." Elijah said.

"Yes". Elder Marcus replied.

"You can see spirit-souls that haven't gone over to the other side yet."

Then Elijah asked him. "Why do you let people think that you're talking to yourself all the time?"

Elder Marcus starts to look at him strangely.

"I don't, I always say I'm talking to my wife but they just assume I'm crazy."

("Wow he's right , that is what I assumed."). Elijah thought to himself.

" This is exciting". says the Elder. "I didn't think I would ever get a disciple . I thought the class would die off with me."

"Disciple? Elijah replied. "Arent I'm about to head off to Crescent Moon Academy in 3 years."

"That is true but do you think they'll know anything about the Anubis class? They have very little information on it and I'm here to teach you the study materials you need to look for."

"OK ,you're right,'' Elijah says."

" But I mean, other than seeing spirit-souls, what can the Anubis class really do?" There is no information on them."

Elder Marcus smiled. "we'll get to all of that kid."
