'What is that weird sound?' Master Zach thought as he continued to watch Auryn.
"Focus on my arms" Auryn said.
Crack!
Suddenly his healthy wheat colored skin started to turn slightly gray color! The cracks closed up, followed by his hand tuning completely gray!
"Why don't you touch it and feel it's texture?" Auryn asked as he walked toward Master Zach and extended his hand for Master Zach to touch.
Master Zach extended his hand and touched it, he ran his old hand over it feeling the texture, "It is smooth but very hard, beyond the realm of skin and flesh, don't tell me..." A realization suddenly dawns on him.
"Yes it is indeed true, whatever I've absorbed, I can transform my hand into it, for now it is only my arms"
"I don't know if I can extend it to other parts of my body in the future, for now I can absorb up to three materials and store it for when I am in need"
"I can use this in combat and also in some other tasks, will this be consider as magic?" Auryn asked.
Crack!
Suddenly his other arm turned rough like the bark of a tree, dark brown in color.
Auryn opened his arms and closed it once again, feeling the new material his hand is made of.
Master Zach is silent for a while before his old face blooms into one of joy! He is beaming with joy from the discovery, "Auryn, it is indeed a unique magic in its own right. I always has this thought that even if you won't awakened fire magic like mine, you might awaken elemental magic"
"You have always surprise me since when you are a little boy, I am really happy young Auryn! With this, you will have enough power to protect yourself"
"I will protect you first and I will use this strength to help you find a cure, you are the only family I have. No matter what, I'll find you a cure and make sure you are healthy once again"
He only cared about a few people in the world and the #1 in the list is none other than Master Zach, he is the only person that Auryn felt that he owe him his life.
Meaning Auryn can die for him when necessary, even as a wounded person, Master Zach brought him up while making sure he had all three meals a day.
He can't repay what Master Zach has done for him, especially when he knew that he is not his relative and thus not his responsibility but still Master Zach took care him, that is enough for Auryn to protect him with all he had!
"You want to spar?" Master Zach asked as he straightened his back.
"No! Not yet, I don't want to have another lose again" Auryn sharply refused.
Even when wounded, Master Zach is an absolute monster when it comes to fighting, he can thrash Auryn left and right.
He is very skilled with sword and that is when you are not talking about his fire magic, he is on a realm of his own, a different league form other fighters!
'I always wondered why he is in this remote place, with his talent, it will be enough for him to live and survive on the mainland' Auryn thought.
'Or maybe is it due to me?' Auryn ask himself a question.
"I think it's time I start to prepare for the journey" Auryn said to Master Zach.
"You are scared?" Master Zach teased.
"There's no reason in fighting a pointless battle, I always envy your skills and Magic prowess even though I've never seen you use your magic powers in a fight" Auryn said truthfully.
"Hahahah stop flattering Me" Master Zach said while laughing, "What will an old man like me be capable of?"
Auryn scoff, only him knew the type of defeat he received from this so call old man.
"I'll take a bath first" Auryn said and turn around to leave.
"Finally, Auryn is able to awakened his magic" Master Zach mumble to himself with a proud expression.
===
After Auryn has taken the bath he quickly bought all he need for the journey, he is going to construct his own boat by himself.
After Auryn has taken the bath he quickly bought all he need for the journey, he is going to construct his own boat by himself.
'Since my crafting skills Is top notch , why should I need to buy a boat?'
Without wasting time, he fell down a tree and started his carving, soon the materials for the body of the boat is formed.
He then assemble it and make sure everywhere is greatly improved, making sure that no part will fall off.
He finish everything by evening.
Auryn look at his beautiful work of art, 'I will set off tomorrow morning'
Auryn plan his journey and gaze at the setting sun, "What a beautiful scenery..." Auryn praises the beauty of the setting sun as he stood alone and admire it.
