Cute !

[1st Century , Ancient Greece , Cosmara Year:64 A.D.]

PoV : Qetsiyah

Life seemed nice recently or maybe i have changed i don't really know . Getting back to a life of leisure and simplicity no heart wrenching love or a search for immortality .

The people that helped me when i was but a fledgling witch with curiosity beyond my capacity, the aura of the place i grew up in , it just calmed me down a lot .

Yet the raging ambers of Hate were everpresent within my mind and the breathing reminder of the grave betrayel still with me it was impossible to calm down the torrent of self loathing and despise filled thoughts .

And that was why i decided to hole in in the library looking for any clue relating to the strange explosion that almost killed me , but to my absolute disappointment all i could find was some locations of witches that defied the gods and proclaimed them as fake and and only devoted their worship to the "Sleeping one".

" Weird " i murmured and decided to give up an this wild goose chase and focus on actual things importance .

Just when i was about to leave and go to the observatory a surprising face came in my view , Svet Arya the traveller from far north in search of "strength" or he says but to me he just seems like someone trying understand themselves .

While i do not have the power to peer into one's mind i can sense emotions subtley using magic , while he presented a strong front and interesting philosphies during our walk to cosmara his emotions were like that of a child and it seemed he himself was oblivious to it , it was a rather intriguing case but i refrained from peering further than that without asking him.

" Uhm , Good Morning Qetsiyah !" he greeted me with a bit of enthusiasm while also looking out of place .

I chuckled and greeted him back , " Good morning to you too Svet , what brings you to the Library this early in the morning ? "

"Well i wished to study the different type of magic that is normally practiced in this reigon and learn about some defensive wards for my job " , he replied with a bit of sheepishness in his voice.

I smiled and said "Well i won't take any more of your time , have fun studying "

As i made my way to the observatory i couldn't help but gush over the absolute cuteness that guy expresses unknowingly around himself with his unusual attempts at coversations .

PoV : Svetlana Arya

Well it wasn't surprising at all seeing Qetsiyah in the Library though it made for a good moment of awkwardness , anyway the Library here was ridiculously huge cosidering that every book had some form of spell that could bypass natural order of things and there were about 9,000 here.

My goal for today is to look into magic crafting , spatial spells and soul. Mastery over these three things would help anyone to reach the top of almost any magic based world.

My reasons for investing in passive things like these is my relatively safe position for some time and my plan of making a Holy grail , the literal basis of the entire fate franchise is based around this cup but its only faur due to the ridiculous stuff it could churn out despite being a creation made by human hands.

What i plan to make in the future is more like a system of Grails set up in a pair of two's throughout the world collecting mana and negativity at slow pace , a spatial conduit that will form a sort of chainblock system to create continuous flow and regulated output , finally using the created system and after connecting it to my soul i could give myself theoretically infinite mana , output and Life force/Immortality as the chainblock could easily house souls.

While the vampire diaries universe contained no threat that i know of which could warrant such caution but i don't exactly know everything beyond the mid season of the spin off named Originals and i think they made something called legacies too ?

' Well whatever , i should get to work rather than daydream about stuff which is just an idea that popped up . '

I walked up to the Bookshelf titled "Έννοια ψυχς" (Ennoia psychēs/ Soul Concept) after shuffling through the random guidebooks i came accross a tome from 335 BCE made by a witch named " Eclipse " an obvious pseudonym which my ability saw through in a second {Medea of colchis} , a surprising name considering her presence in legendary myths and infamous position in history.

Eager i opened the book and began reading it , finding it to be more of a journal notes in her attempt to resurrect the children she killed in the madness of vengeance. In the end medea had failed to devise a way of ressurecting the infant with a non distinguishing soul while she succeeded in resurrecting the older one .

The conclusion in the end was that a soul is defined by the amount of experience and strength it can exert upon the all encompassing crushing force that is afterlife .

Something that made me sit there and think deeply about my reincarnation , if all the postulates that medea theorised were true does that mean my soul was incredibly strong ? , but the obvious presence of a third party only raised more questions about the whole situation .However, instead of dwelling on this for much longer i started reading other books about stuff like soul transmutation, soul sacrifice , binding and lots of miscellaneous spell.

After staying in the Library for about 13 Hours skipping Lunch i headed straight to my house with Medea's book in my hand and a guide about Transmutation of magical metals .

Since a lot of elements i typically cooked with were not present in Greece i paid my neighbour to make some food for me as i had no time to learn a completely different way of cooking as i was pre occupied with a lot of stuff in my life
