17 Adam Silvia
The academy presentation for humans ended on a small note, "Treat everyone how you choose yourself to be treated." This sounded so familiar to me at the time, very much familiar to something I knew before. Though, other than that, Lucas and I finally chose three others to join our dorm room. The fourth prince of Soltica, Jacob Flairen II, he's nicer than the other princes above him in his family, but also quiet. Lord Marcus Trivius was another victim of our "dorm friends" chase. Then there was Julio Lenez, he was a transfer (and a commoner) from the 1st city of Soltica. I like his "new guy" vibe, he's a decent person to have around.
While we have gathered in the dorm room Jacob had decided to go to the library instead of our greeting dinner. Here is after he had left for tonight.
"Although, I would have liked it if Jacob had joined us…" I say.
"Indeed, I sense he has a nice spirit." Julio says.
"We must commemorate this gathering with a toast later tonight." Lucas says. "First of most, Julio Lenez, why did you come to the top school of Lords and Ladies?"
"I have come here to learn more advanced magic and become a teacher someday." Julio says.
"Quite the goal you have there." Lucas smiles. "Enjoy your stay in our dorm room. As for you, Marcus Trivius?"
"I strive to be the greatest chef of my family!" Marcus says.
"Culinary, I see." Lucas laughs. "That is wonderful, do not forget to serve us your food someday."
"Mind if I speak my thoughts, Lucas?" I say.
"Oh, please, Adam." Lucas insists.
"I have a knight of the 50 tutoring me starting in the next day." I say. "Will this affect my training for magic as well?"
"That may affect your training in magic, although, you need not worry." Lucas says. "The Silvia family has extended time of needed for training, for you have a strong bond with my family."
"I appreciate this news, thank you Lucas." I smile.
"Now, shall I call for foods, treats, and drinks?" Lucas laughs.
"Yes, that would be amazing!" Marcus gets excited. "Many more food on my side please!"
We all laugh together and gather around a table to feast. 'I do not remember the last time I have had so much fun with others. Though, do I really not remember…? What is it that I feel like is missing…? What could it possibly be?' I think to myself as the others try to gather my attention.
"Adam, are you okay?" Lucas says. "Do you need to rest early tonight?"
"Uh, yes, Lucas, I am alright." I say. "I will go to the washroom; I will be back to rest."
"We will go with you; the time will set for the washroom to close in 3 hours." Lucas says.
"Thank you for your company, I will start heading out now." I say.
"Very well, let us put down our drinks and food to lead us towards strong bonding!" Lucas says.
The other four laugh and follow along with me. I begin taking my clothing off and grab a towel to set myself inside the large area of warm water. The others do the same and join me to ease their bodies.
"Adam, I have only seen your arms uncovered two times now." Lucas laughs. "I never knew you had so much muscle! Although, there is some sort of mark."
"That was a mark from birth. I remember to have seen it grow since I was a child." I say. "My mother and father do not know what it might be."
"I can attempt to help you with that, Adam." Julio says. "I have been able to somewhat advance in magic. Would you mind?"
"Go on, Julio, I would like to see if something may happen to it." I say.
Julio makes his attempt which takes a little while. I wait patiently as he mumbles spells while the other three are watching. Then the symbol starts to move from my arm to float the air and spells out a name.
"Al, Krelin?" Marcus says.
"How could that be?" Lucas says. "That is the name of the Immortal Moon Elf. Earlier you had stared at a painting of him!"
"I have now broken it… The name was cryptic and now you understand it." Julio says. "This is the name of who your past life was. Adam, you were an immortal. I have read in the books about this. The ones who have names on their bodies are the ones who are looking for their immortal self!"
"I have no recollection of this happening… It cannot be true." I say.
"Either way, Julio, you have done marvelous work." Lucas says. "You will most definitely learn quick to teach others."
"Ah, I thank you, Prince Lucas." Julio says.
"No formalities in the academy, please, call me Lucas." Lucas smiles.
"Very well, Lucas." Julio smiles.
"Look!" Marcus points.
Marcus is seen pointing at the name that begins to change and form into a face. The face of the Immortal Moon Elf, Al Krelin.
"What is it doing…?" Marcus whispers.
"I suppose it is attempting to call Adam." Julio whispers back.
"Adam." Al Krelin says.
Lucas and I both scream when we hear this.
"AH!" I scream. "W-w-w-what?"
"Calm yourself." Al Krelin says. "If you wish to know why you were born, tell me to give you my memories. If you do not wish to, the people I cherish will never know where I had gone."
"I would like to know why Adam was born." Lucas says.
"I will give you my memory to show, not to share." Al Krelin says. "Come closer, great prince."
Lucas moves closer and he stops moving for a few seconds. The others and I wait for a response from him. Though, he comes back confused.
"Why must you have such a tainted past?" Lucas asks. "This may as well damage the reputation of Adam Silvia!"
"Which can also be his own decision to seek power or destruction." Al Krelin says. "Adam?"
"Yes?" I look at him.
"Adam," Al Krelin sighs. "I am not to choose your route; I am to be with you or to be forgotten."
"I cannot choose at the moment." I say. "Though, how can I call you to me?"
"You may speak my name, Al." Al Krelin says. "I do not wish to use formalities with my reborn being…"
"I see, I will now call you Al." I say. "May you show me your memories later?"
"Absolutely, Lucas shall attend as well." Al says.
"Oh, is Julio, Marcus, and Jacob allowed to attend as well?" Lucas asks.
"If only those three, then yes." Al sighs. "I do not sense darkness in your spirits, I recognize Jacob to be a former immortal being as well."
"Jacob as a former immortal being?" Julio says. "He may as well be anyone!"
"Marcus." Al says. "What is your family's profession?"
"Cooking…" Marcus says. "Just as I suspected. Do you recognize this face?"
Al's face forms into a woman's, blonde hair and blue eyes. Marcus seemed to be shocked when this is shown to him.
"That is the best Chef, Jastria Xil!" Marcus says. "How do you have knowledge of her?"
"She was one of my companions." Al says. "Julio, do you recognize this individual?"
The face changed once again to a green haired beauty, a male personnel who seemed to be gorgeous.
"He wears a hood and has green hair!" Julio says. "That is Klotic the assistant of Al Krelin! He was one if the best sorcerers, but how could this be?"
"At this time there should be nothing wrong with how these two are living their lives." Al says. "Although, they suspect my spirit to be either gone or lost. It is your choice, Adam."
