Valkyrie and Family 2.159

-Do you think I also need a wand to do magic?- asked Viggo to Rosewisse one afternoon when the two were talking about magic. They were sitting on the terrace in the middle of the forest surrounding the mansion. A dome and pillars made of marble protected them from the sun. The drafts brought the aroma of humidity and nature from the forest.

Viggo and Rosewisse were sitting at the table with all kinds of delicacies on the surface. Rosewisse was sitting on the left side, holding a white cup with gold edges while Viggo was on the right side.

-I think so- Rosewisse said, placing the cup on the plate on the table -but I'm not saying that because you can't occupy magic with your hands. I can and I think you can too, but its manifestation is slower. If you want to use magic, for example, as you use your bow and arrow, you must have a wand-

-I understand- said Viggo stroking his chin -I think it's a good time to test if I can use magic. We will go in two days to Muspelheim. The number of draugrs Surtr must test people's strength is not normal-

-I think if it's like you say, it would be a good time to try magic. Try to occupy that instinct of yours and see if you can innovate in something-

Viggo remembered the conversation with Hitomi and nodded. They both kept eating for a while until Viggo looked at Rosewisse and asked her -would you let me see your wand?-

Rosewisse nodded quite naturally. The wand appeared in her right hand, and she stretched it out on the table. Viggo pulled his right hand closer and took it. The wand was made of silver, with dwarf-type characters forming a circle around the runes such as Sowelu, Isa, Laguz and others. The wand was wide on the back, but thin at the tip, as if it were a pencil.

-Is there anything inside?- asked Viggo.

-Yes, mistletoe- said Rosewisse -a type of wood that no longer exists in any kingdom at Odin's request-

-It must be important- said Viggo -it must be taken into account-

-No, no, no- Rosewisse said in a serious tone. He stretched out his right hand and asked for his wand back. Viggo held it out and she took it and returned it to wherever Rosewisse kept it -this wand is the only thing I have left of my family. You will not occupy it against Odin or anyone in his family. If I lose it, I die-

-Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you-

-Just keep it in mind "Red"- Rosewisse said in a mocking tone. Yesterday she met Tsubaki and hearing her call Viggo that way, she was very funny.

-Leave it, now. I can't do anything if my wives want to call me that way-

-What does Semiramis call you? enlighten me, majesty, king, your excellency?-

-I'm not going to tell you; you're going to bother me from here to eternity- replied Viggo with blushing cheeks and a smile on his lips.

Rosewisse let out a funny chuckle at the sight of Viggo so embarrassed. Well, all people had a pseudonym to call their loved ones. For example, her father and mother called her "hairless" as a child. However, it is normal not to have hair on certain parts of the body when you are so small. Sure, she wouldn't tell Viggo those things. She would be embarrassed that she would look for a hole in which to bury herself and never look at anyone.

-I'm going to tell father to help me with that- Viggo said.

-With what thing "Red"?- asked Rosewisse and gave a burlesque giggle.

Viggo could only scratch his head and smile. On the other hand, even though Rosewisse's laughter had become outrageous, he could tell that she had a beautiful smile.

-To make a wand, father must have some rare materials. Most likely things that in this or your world should not exist-

-Your father emits that feeling- Rosewisse said with a serious expression. Being a Valkyrie and a strong, she could feel the powerful soul energy when they visited Kain. It was like being near a sun that could burn you if you expose yourself to its power.

-Do you want me to ask for help with one for you?-

-I have mine, no problem-

-You just told me that if you lose it, you die- replied Viggo -Wouldn't it be better for you to keep that wand, wherever you keep it, and occupy one that you don't mind breaking, losing or having stolen?-

-You have a point, Red boy- Rosewisse said, stood up and asked -Are we going immediately?-

-What time is it?- asked Viggo, standing up.

-How six? Why? Is it too late?-

-No, because at nine o'clock they have dinner at my father's house. We have to get there as soon as possible if we want to have time to talk to him-

-In that case I take you-

-That...-

-Come on, don't be a coward, red- said Rosewisse -we've already flown a dozen times, you should be used to it-

Viggo let out a sigh and nodded -just don't shake me too much, I wouldn't want to vomit what I just ate-

-That's disgusting-

-Whatever you say, but it's the reality. Wait for me five minutes, I'm going to let Esther know where I'm going to be, so they don't wait for me for dinner-

-What's wrong? Will your wives beat you if you don't warn?-

Viggo walked a couple of steps, stopped, and turned his face to say with a smile on his lips – something similar-

Rosewisse amused denied Viggo's words and attitude. He was too relaxed a person, she thought. He was a good friend, someone who had no reservations about sharing what he had with others. She liked his cheerful character when he sang or when he shared his adventures. It had a unique charm, she thought. She shook her head, thinking that her thoughts were heading in the wrong direction.

Viggo returned five minutes later, Rosewisse hugged him from behind, spread her wings and raise to the sky. They quickly raise fifty meters from the ground, observed the houses, and dodged the smoke from the chimneys. They saw the streets traveled by many adventurers and normal people. At the same time, they caught the attention of many curious children and adventurers. Even though there were all kinds of races in Orario, no one had ever seen a winged woman.

With the help of Rosewisse's wings, it took ten minutes to traverse the entire blacksmith district and reach Kain's house. Rosewisse descended with Viggo in front of the apple tree, in Kain's courtyard. The latter was sitting under the apple tree, holding baby Eina in his arms.

-Well, that's a new way to visit someone- Kain said in a strong tone that Rosewisse and Viggo could hear.

-Kya- Eina screamed upon seeing Rosewisse and her white wings.

-Quiet, sweety- Kain said, closing one eye in a grimace of discomfort. Eina had screamed in his ear.

-Dad, Dad- Eina said, pointing her little hand at Rosewisse.

Viggo on his way to Kain's table and Rosewisse followed closely. Viggo looked at Rosewisse and said -well, now you can say you have a big fan-

-Yes, it seems that way- Rosewisse said, walking a step behind. She walked to where Kain was, feeling that discomfort at the great strength of the soul. She stretched out her arms and Eina practically jumped into his arms.

-Eina, I'm your brother- Viggo said, putting on a pitiful expression, but Eina didn't even look at him.

-What are you coming to boy?- asked Kain -I don't think you'll come for the baked chicken that Isabel makes-

-No, father, we didn't come to dinner- replied Viggo looking at his father, of great stature, long white hair, pointed ears and blue eyes -Rosewisse advised me to use a wand to be able to use magic more efficiently-

-Use a catalyst?- asked Kain, Viggo nodded, and Kain continued -What kind of magic do you want to occupy? I warn you that each catalyst is different, like a weapon. It is not the same to occupy a claymore than to occupy a broad sword or a katana-

-I understand that father- said Viggo -but I would like a wand that would allow me to use all kinds of magic, as Rosewisse does-

Kain looked at Rosewisse, who was holding Eina while the baby touched the white feathers of her beautiful wings. Then he looked at Viggo and said directly -you can't, your brain is not so good-

Rosewisse burst into laughter and little Eina, instead of being frightened, laughed like her, even though she didn't understand what she was laughing at.

Viggo gave Rosewisse an annoying look. She turned her back on him, walked away, but kept laughing. Viggo looked at Kain and said in an annoying tone -don't embarrass me father-

-I don't embarrass you, son, it's the truth- Kain said with a serious expression.

Rosewisse returned at a slow pace, with a smile on her lips and asked -Are you serious?-

-I mean it- Kain replied with a friendly smile -the other day you came with Viggo to look at my library. Describe to me everything that was inside-

-Are you serious?-

-Girl, there are moments and moments. I'm not a man of being joking all the time. You came here to ask me something serious. I'm responding to you in a serious way-

-I'm sorry, sir- Rosewisse said, looking down.

-Don't feel bad, it must be my son's influence-

-Padre- Viggo protest

Kain ignores him and continues to look at Rosewisse. She nodded and began to describe what Kain's library looked like in great detail. The position of the furniture, the number of lamps, chandeliers, shelves, the large table for studies and chairs.

-Any details that caught your attention?- asked Kain with a big smile.

-Well, on the study table were the names of Viggo and his brothers. There was one I don't know, it was called Ottar-

-That child is traveling with his goddess; he is an adventurer. Don't worry, when he come back, Viggo will introduce it to you-

-I understand- Rosewisse said with a smile.

Kain looked at Viggo and said -See? Its memory is incredible, that's why she can occupy a lot of magic, as you call it. I don't think an instinctive boy like you can do the same. I'm not underestimating you, it's the reality-

-How do you think I could do magic?- asked Viggo.

-In your case, I would recommend that you take two or three magics, practice them, and make them your core. If you use your instinct, you may master them within a year. However, I don't suggest you learn more magic. You would waste too much time and become inefficient-

-That's not at all encouraging- Viggo said, bowing his gaze and frowning.

-What can I tell you? Pastry chef to his cakes. You are a great talent, son. I am proud of you, as a warrior and person. However, not everyone is made to master magic. Even it has taken me a long time to be as good as I am today-

-I understand, father- said Viggo somewhat depressed.

-Do not worry, son, that you do not handle many magics, does not mean that you are going to be weak. For example, if you continue to learn pyromancy, you will become very strong, I assure you. Now, regarding catalysts, would you like to learn how to create them on your own? I have a lot of knowledge that sure surprises even our young, winged friend-

Viggo looked at Rosewisse who was holding baby Eina, with green hair and small pointed ears. Then he looked at Kain and said -that would be great-
