7 chapter 7 arrival

Cuetlachtli finished reading most of the book while walking and realized he had one more week left until the summoner school. As he journeyed with one-eyed he attempted to comprehend the elements he absorbed while one-eyed lectured on how to channel it. One-eyed set up camp and told Cuetlachtli "I would like you to sit close your eyes. I can see on your cape and loincloth that you have gathered the element of wood, water, wind, fire, and earth." Cuetlachtli nodded and listened attentively as One-eyed kept explaining. "your clothes are high quality, rare, and powerful I need you to actively and passively learn your elements in case you have separated from your clothes again and you encounter another monster."

Listen and close your eyes One-eyed told me. I closed my eyes and envisioned a single element and chose an element on my tilma. I decided to focus on all them, first I saw an earthy color appear and became solid earth orb. then I visualized a deep blue color of the sea and it solidified into an earth orb, wood and wind and fire naturally had the same outcome and within each orb contained an elemental being within that appeared domineering even though they were sleeping within it and then they started pulsing a color that attributes to their element but they were flashing in a series of pattern that indicated that they were communicating. I opened my eyes as I saw One-Eyed was in the middle of guiding me saying " and then they become orbs and then you will have a small elemental inside that will later hatch from their orbs around three days but during this time they will teach, guide, and become a part of you. You will not gain any other element unless your tilma picks more up most people have to spend two to three years developing one elemental some faster than others but.." One-Eyed stopped and saw the sweat on my forehead and I asked him " Can you check my elemental and tell me if this is normal they are HUGE and I feel like they are too strong or something"

One-Eyed excited reached out his hand as he said "oh really let me see" HIs hand landed on my shoulder and I felt an energy like I never seen before enter my body and felt the elements. He withdrew his hand pausing for a moment with his hand on stroking his beard he finally spoke " you have primordial elements which are more powerful than King and Queen elementals... This was supposed to take some time during the week but since you have primordial elementals It should be smooth sailing for you. We do need to get a move on to get to that school so let leave camp and continue your travel." I got up while One-Eyed got on his horse and we started our journey as the camp behind us faded and the magic remained and will only activate if we ever return to the same spot.

Three days later all five of my primordial elementals hatched from their orbs and absorbed them. They started teaching, guiding and becoming part of me and than One-Eyed whispered "stop look over there-there is a slime why don't you try to use your fire element to attack it. I connected to the fire element and within my mind and being I began to further understand the power of fire which was destruction, warmth, creation, rebirth, and death but on a whole new level. The fire wrapped around my arms but It looked hot but it didn't feel hot to me nor did it burn me and it shot off and I accidentally created a crater in front of me than a huge burn scorch earth from the crater all the way to the horizon in front of me. One-Eyed started laughing at my lack of control over my first time using my element needless to say the slime and any other beast that was in that path is dead. Feeling the other elementals of wood, earth, and water wanting to help me fix the damage done by fire. So I called them forth from within and connected to them and understood regeneration, flexibility, growth, adaptability, interconnectedness, and foundation. My arms outstretched and my eyes in focus I could see the soil began to change as if it was healing the burnt black earth, water starting forming and created a lake and stream while the wood element was around the lake and on both side of the stream all the way to the horizon and I hoped it connected to an ocean somewhere. On the bottom of the ground of the lake, I could feel the soil changing to become perfect for fresh future plant growth within the lake and stream.

When I was finished I saw nothing but beauty and nature I understood how to control my elements after this point due to water's flexibility, earth's stability, and wood unlimited growth potential. Fire will be easy and I suppose every other element after this will be easy. At this point, I noticed I had dark, light, and flora elemental orbs so I suppose in three days I will have power over darkness and light and plants but The darkness is nothing like the corruption that I read in the book I suppose there a difference between the two. Three days later we arrived at the school without anything obstruction our journey.

In front of me was a barrier like the one we had at the camp surrounding a huge radius of the school. I saw the guards standing in front of the walkway behind the barrier and they saw One-Eyed and bowed their heads and said "please enter sir, It about time you came back for another visit! The headmaster got your message about the new student this is him I presume" I looked at One-Eyed and asked him "When did you send a message?" He smiled at me and two ravens landed on his shoulders while two wolves came out from behind him "I have my ways these guys serve more or less as my helpers." with a snap of his fingers the ravens flew off from his shoulders and left and the wolves disappeared with great speed. "come on lets go meet the headmaster." One-Eye stepped into the barrier and I followed then I saw the headmaster float out of the school and whispered with One-Eye while the headmaster glanced back and forth between One-Eyed and me as if he was hearing an unbelievable rumor about me and so he started looking more and more shocked so he and One-Eyed finished their conversation and The headmaster moved his arms in a weird manner and a summoning circle was in front of me. While the circle glowed a goblin came out nodded at the headmaster and pointed the way to the school for me to follow. I looked at One-Eyed and he smiled with the acknowledgment that it is okay I followed the goblin towards the school door the moment I stepped into the door I was already in a random room I didn't even see a lobby, hallways or anything. The goblin said, "your room, sleep now, learn tomorrow."

As I laid in bed I felt restless because it felt weird this room had everything I needed yet I felt tired for no reason and went to sleep through the whole day and night. The next day the headmaster personally came into my bedroom I guess and He was very excited but very nice at the same time. "My name is Headmaster Guard I cannot wait to get you started into our school I will explain how things work. First, the reason why you didn't see the rest of the school is that the doors have special properties and will take you to where you need to go. The school may be "small" on the outside but it actually bigger on the inside and it was such a hassle that we learned how to make it easier to get from point A to point B at any given time even if you are late you will arrive on time regardless of when you leave the door. I know it doesn't make sense but it will in due time. I Want you to understand what we do here. We teach people all over the world how to summon whatever they are specialized in. Some summoners are more versatile than others but I have a feeling you are like no other you are quite special from what the Traveller or One-Eyed as you call him tells me. He has too many nicknames. If you have any questions take this booklet on how the school operates and how to contact other people or me if needed. Okay, thanks bye." Just like that the headmaster Guard had goblin features and sharp teeth protruding from the gaps of his lips even though He had a goblin name he was extremely intelligent when he put effort into communication when he wanted to. I got excited because I wanted to get this going and I put my hand on the door and felt a shift and on the other side I heard other people talking in a classroom. I took my hand off and the shift happened again and I heard nothing. I opened the door before I felt anything and I entered my classroom. "Students meet our new student Cuetlachtli....."
