A friend.

(A/N - thank you all for the views and comments. Hope you enjoy this chapter. I just wanted to say my school holiday will be over soon and I'm not sure if I can get in 2 chapters daily but I will try my best.)

It was time to check my aptitude with the elements. I switched back to my human like form and I was heading into the ruined temple of Alper where a crystal ball was placed on a small pedestal. It was a perfect sphere and was see through like glass kind of.

I was told to place my hand on the sphere and try to move my mana through my mana veins towards my hand and release it into the sphere. I could use any amount I wanted as it didn't matter.

I channeled my mana into the crystal ball rather easily and the crystal ball started glowing filling the whole ball with flashing colours. Red - fire, blue - water, green - air, yellow - earth, silver - celestial, black - null there are also sub elements like ice, lightning, nature, life, death, magma and lava and some say if you mix celestial and null magic you can use the power of time but all of which take mastery over basic elements and a lot of training.

The ball would flash the colours of the elements I could use and the amount of light it released would show how efficient I am with the element. It was only Kein and my mother with me as this was meant to be done with privacy.

When my mana entered the ball it released a powerful light and showed the colours of the elements I could use.

"Okay here we go, Fire, water, earth, null, air, celestial? There is no way? You've got them all? And they all shined with powerful light! This has only happened 3 times in history! Kiera you need to keep a low profile and just say you have fire, air and celestial okay?" Kein called to me putting his hands on my shoulder looking at me with dead serious eyes.

"Alright then but don't Elemental dragons have mastery over all elements?" I asked looking between mother and Kein.

"Yes but that only applies to the basic elements. Celestial and null are not included as well as sub elements." Mother replied as Kein had no idea as he wasn't an elemental dragon.

"Do you have celestial or null?"

"I have celestial, yes, but null. No I do not." Mother said shaking her head.

"Okay then I'll do as you recommend but are they all high aptitude. The elements I tell people as in or should I say I have a weak aptitude." I ask looking at Kein.

"I think you should say you have high aptitude for them all." Kein replied, "We need to go out now, we can tell the rest that you got fire, air and celestial with high aptitude."

We exited the ruin with an awkward atmosphere surrounding us and we were then greeted by the three adults.

"So how did it go? Got any good elements kid?" A tall man with blond hair and black eyes said looking down at me.

The other two leaned in listening with anticipation at my answer, expectations were high.

"I've got fire, air and celestial magic all with high aptitudes." I replied with a look that showed I couldn't care less about this.

They all looked at me with happiness.

"Good for you kid," the same man said to me giving me a shoulder pat, "my kids only have earth and air, you know it's pretty sad they don't have flames like their father. Hahaha."

"So their elements are like their mum?" I said.

"Yeah she has earth and water."

He gave me another pat before walking away over to the three boys that had malicious intent targeted towards me.

'Their his kids huh?' I though squinting my eyes a little.

My mother started a conversation with the other two people and Kein tagged along with them leaving me alone.

'I guess I'll go back to the forest and try out the elements.'

I bent down a little and spread my wings but before I could leave I saw someone approaching me. It was the girl from before, never got her name so I'm going to continue calling her 'the girl'.

The girl came up to me and asked "what elements did you get? I've got water and fire both with high aptitudes. That was 2 years ago though."

"So you are 5, I thought so. Anyway I got fire, air and celestial all with high aptitudes." I replied.

"We both got fire!"

"Yeah I guess."

"Oh my name is Tess by the way."

"I'm Kiera."

"Wanna be friends?"

"Sure I don't mind." I gave a casual reply and a small nod.

"Let's go play in the forest!" Tess said grabbing my hand and running.

"Can you not fly?" I asked

"Yeah I can, not very well but you can't so we are running."

"I can fly my wings are strong enough."

"Really well I might crash into you though I've only flown five times and I'm still getting the hang of it."

"I'll fly us into the forest then." I said with a shrug and picked her up in my arms and spread my wings launching us into the sky.

"What? Your wings really are strong if you can carry us both!"

"I guess, I wasn't sure if I could but I know I can now."

"You did it on a whim?"

"Yeah."

"That's the silliest thing I've heard, hahaha." Tess laughed.

"I'll land around here. It seems safe enough."

I landed in a clearing of trees and set Tess on the ground. I then jumped to a tree and sat on the branch swinging my legs a little. I turned my head to Tess.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked.

"I don't know? Wanna go hunting? We can catch some birds or squirrels?"

"Sure but they are rather slow and there aren't any in a 50 metre radius around us." I said looking to the west. "There might be some to the west of us, there was a lake there."

"How do you know?"

"I know all of the stuff that happens in a 50 metre radius around myself and animals tend to gather around water sources but the same goes for monsters." I replied as if it was obvious that's where animals gather.

"I guess that's true and also that's a pretty cool talent you've got there."

"Yeah I guess." I said hopping down from the branch I was on and walking towards where I saw the lake. "The lake isn't too far. Come on."

"I've got terrible memory so I won't remember the way back to the ruins."

"It's fine I'll remember, I remember everything for some reason."

Well I wasn't lying I do remember everything in excellent detail other than things that happened from before my torture in my past life. It's as if those memories were erased or maybe there was nothing to remember? Well I don't care now.

"Coming?" I call looking behind me.

"Okay!" Tess called back running up to me.

We walked in silence for three minutes then I remembered something.

"Do you have a weapon?"

"Yeah, do you not have one?" Tess replied looking as if she would laugh if I said I forgot.

"Nah I've got one. Even if I didn't I could just use stones or fly after the birds and use my claws."

"Fair point. Where is your weapon?"

"It's embedded into my right palm, see?"

"Woah that's cool! But it's a stone?"

"It transforms into whatever I want it to be." I transformed it into a sword then daggers, a bow and back to the stone.

"That's so cool! I've just got a regular bow and 25 arrows in my quiver."

"Hm? Where?"

"Ah it's in my storage ring."

"Spacial magic? Can I see?"

'I wonder if I can copy it into a skill. [Steal] takes skills from monsters I kill but since I have [Elemental master] I might be able to copy the magic fluctuation and make it a skill.'

"Sure!" Tess used her storage ring and a basic wooden bow came out.

"Interesting."

'The magic created a rift in space and pulled an object out of the space and into our world in the casters hand. System can you copy it?'

'Damn that's great!'

"Yeah I know, my mum gave me this ring for my birthday."

We continued walking for five minutes when we arrived at the lake. There were a couple water slimes but nothing that could threaten me. There were a few deers and there was a flock of birds on the ground. The slimes didn't seem aggressive towards them so maybe they won't attack? I'm not going to test that theory though.

"Ready?"

"Yeah you?"

"I'm set." I said transforming Adonis into a bow and an arrow.

"Time for a hunt." Tess said as she drew back the string of her bow.
