First turning point

POV Julian Kingscrown

After waiting for about three hours sitting next to Silvia unconscious, she woke up

"Julian?", she said without having fully woken up

"Yes, it's me Silvia, how do you feel?" I replied, moving closer to see the state of her body

"I'm fine, better than I've been in a long time. Did you do something with your Ether art?" She said as she looked at her body and spoke in a repentant tone

"It wasn't me, but fortunately a Djinn remnant, who was here on the teleportation arrival platform, helped you extinguish those flames, but your life expectancy is still the same" I said in a neutral tone

"You don't seem as sad as I thought you would be after saying that" she said as she looked at me with a complicated face

"Silvia, I want to save you, but right now with my current skills, it's nothing but a dream, I know, but I still want to try everything I can" I said as I looked into her eyes

"What's wrong, you look a bit tense" she said in a worried tone

"Silvia, do you have the ability, after giving Arthur your will, and then using a technique to give me your body and join it to mine, as well as your soul entering some kind of hibernation state in some egg or container until I can help you?" I asked her the question in the most sincere way possible

"I see, it's a pretty smart idea, but you would stop being human, do you want that?" She said as she watched me

"What I want is not achieved by normal means and neither is saving you" I said giving her a reassuring smile

"Okay, we'll go with your plan, but there will be conditions; besides I can't do it alone, I need help from the Djinn remnant you mentioned" she said speaking seriously

"No problem if you need my assistance, but if I see that you are trying to take over the boy's body, I will cancel all help" said the old purple one appearing again in a tone of absolute caution

"I don't plan to do that; I'm on his side after all" Silvia said in a pleasant tone, to reduce the hostility of the Djinn remnant and appease him, even if only a little

"What are the conditions you mentioned Silvia" I asked, as I was very curious to know what they were

"First my daughter will go with Arthur initially, to not show him this place to Agrona, but she will stay with you after you manage to erase the tracking and control spell they have on her, plus you have to promise me that for no reason you will kill or do something unnecessary to bring me back" she said in a tone of absolute authority, not giving me a choice to refuse

"Okay, I understand, I'll do what you ask" I said in a cheerful tone for choosing me over Arthur to take care of Silvie

"Well, since you have reached an agreement, I have some things to say, the body of that Asura you call Silvia is damaged, so the process will take a long time to be stable and you will have to be in a kind of induced sleep for three years at least according to my estimates, besides we can not take all her body you will not resist it, with your age, body and current core, so we have to dilute it a bit what do you want to do with those remains? Said the Djinn asking for clarifications

"That's something I didn't expect, it's going to take a lot of time, can't you do it faster? And with the remains of her body, can you do anything at all?" I said in a worried and confused tone

"What do you expect, I'm just a remnant, I'm doing a feat by being able to help you in this state, and with the body we can start three Acclorite, since her body is full of mana" said the Old Djinn in an annoyed tone

"Okey I understand don't get mad at me and where did you get those things I thought only the Asuras had them, besides why three? Wouldn't they end up coming out the same?" I replied in a confused tone

"Why only the Asuras can have it? Aren't they the only ones who handle Ether?" Said the old Djinn in a bad mood

"Ok ok ok don't yell" I said covering my ears to avoid his screams

"Julián, I didn't mention it to you, but from my body you will only get its physical characteristics and the ability to resist the use of Ether, do you think that's enough? Silvia asked me after the old Djinn stopped screaming

"The Realmheart is a kind of less powerful legacy if we exclude the fact that it can interact with Ether, there is no distinction between that and the legacy I have, so there is no problem, it is already a blessing to get such a powerful body, besides I should be able to add the relationship with Ether when I use the mana vision" I said in a cheerful tone

"Besides, old man, you didn't answer me, why three Acclorite?" I looked back at the old purple man

"My name is Barbatos not old man, remember that, I don't want to set you up a girl's body by mistake"

"Sorry great elder Barbatos please, excuse my insolence" I said while apologizing sincerely, I didn't want a girl's body, you had to be crazy to want something like that

"Much better, now in response to your question, our Acclorite I don't know how similar it is to the Asuras'; since we didn't want weapons, but assistants or tools to help us manipulate and reduce the load of Ether in our bodies, that's why each one has a different representation, it varies from person to person, the way they interpret the Runes and how you are going to have three runes with you, I'm getting ahead of myself, your original Ether art is one, the others, will be one that I will give you and the other that will leave you that Asura with her affinity, that's why they are three" said the Old Barbatos in a proud tone

How did a clan like theirs end up like this, were they really so stupid as not to realize their destruction or had Ether damaged their heads

"Okey I'm not going to question that anymore, but let's go back as I told you my friend has to do something before she can give me her body, could you leave me the key and we'll be back in about a year" I said to the old man

"Remember, we have a contract, don't break it, now I'll guide you to prepare everything, before the process"

After that we went to an area that looked like a workshop, where there were many Acclorites, but he only let me take three

"By the way, how do you keep this place so well? I said to the elder Barbatos

"Conservation Runes" that was all he said

After arriving again at the platform and seeing Silvia who looked better and could already get up the old Barbatos spoke

"We have everything ready, when you come back in a few months I will insert the Acclorite and we will start the process, also don't worry about the container of your friend, I will take care of it the best I can" Barbatos said

"Okay, see you in a few months and I'll keep the key safe" I said that while looking at the medallion with intricate purple shapes in my hands

"I'll be waiting for you soon" said the Elder squinting his eyes

After that Silvia and I returned to the cave where Rex, Ingram and Vanangard were waiting

"I think it's time for a temporary farewell Silvia; I'll come when you're finishing the training with Arthur, I'll hide from him until Cadell shows up and we can make him believe you disappeared somewhere far away" I said reciting the plan I had in mind

"It's a shame we can't spend more time together for the moment" Silvia said in a melancholic tone

"We'll make up for it in the future when everything is over I swear" I said in an optimistic tone

That's how I left to go back to Grandma Rinia's house, after four months and a few days of being away, there were about 8 months left until Arthur met Silvia and a year to start the process of rebuilding my body with Silvia's

After arriving home I had to explain to Grandma Rinia that I had been training with a wise woman and I did find what I needed most, although I don't even know if the amulet was activated

She didn't ask me who she was, only about what I did, if I had fun, if they treated me well, she knew better than anyone to distinguish the line that she shouldn't cross and I thanked her a lot for not asking questions, that I wasn't going to be able to answer

During that whole year I was training in my fundamentals with Weapons, since I think that is the weak point I have and I purified my core to Solid Orange with cracks, I was already 5 years old

Also although I knew the cost of evolving other species, I decided to make another one, this time a Rapacious Alicanto with Lightning mana that I called Galia, a fierce lightning bird with purple plumage

She and Vanangard were in C rank when I went out again in search of Silvia and Rex and Ingram had reached B rank

Finally I sent a letter to Virion who came to tell me, followed by his granddaughter who was looking for me, sometimes I went and played a little with Tessia

But I focused mainly on absorbing knowledge from the library, since I was going to lose three years, I needed some way to compensate for it and this was the best way to do it

After two weeks of travel I finally arrived at Silvia's dwelling

I waited until night, said goodbye to my Wolf and Bird friends who have been with me for some time, gave them two instructions, one that they go to the beast clearings, get stronger avoiding the eyes of humans and Alacryans alike and that they don't let themselves be captured I wanted to see them alive when I returned

So, under Silvia's instruction, when Arthur was resting, I went down and hid from him waiting for Cadell's arrival

Which arrived a few hours later

This time the farewell was not so dramatic, since Silvia is without ailments, but, her lifetime was approaching its end

So when she handed her will to Arthur she was very weakened

"Arthur you are like my other student who has stubbornly refused to call me grandma, both are too stupid in my opinion, when the right time comes you will meet him and give him what you have in your hands, meanwhile become strong and enjoy each one of the joys of life" Silvia said in a kind tone

From what we talked about so far I could understand that Arthur had also liked her, she says that we look alike in the strangest moments and that we would be good friends

She told me to support each other, not to carry everything alone and to trust others, because I had the power to make them stronger

Then Cadell arrived his aura was no joke

"Lady Silvia, I advise you to stop being so stubborn and surrender, give up now, he might heal your wound" said the scythe in a cold and penetrating tone

At that moment, Silvia, activated the static void, sent Arthur to the Eleanor woods where, Ingram informed me that, fortunately, Tessia was captive of the slavers and I came out of where I was hiding behind Silvia's dragon form which should look majestic, but was slowly withering

"Ready little one? To deceive the world as your other grandmother told you?" She said in a cheerful tone, with a smile on her face

"Sure Silvia, thank you, no thanks Grandma Silvia" I said giving her a smile and activating the medallion to take us to Eden

----------------------------------------------------------

Cadell Vritra

"Spatial movement?" Tch as troublesome as ever, I couldn't see it coming, how can she still do that, being seriously injured with my soul fire burning her life

Besides, I can't feel where she moved, is she in some protected place?

Ahhh it doesn't matter; from what I can see she doesn't have much time left, she's just a candle in the wind

The problem is going to be what the high sovereign thinks, you couldn't just give up and surrender Lady Silvia

Cadell tried for some more time to find Silvia's whereabouts, but because of Eden's barriers he couldn't

----------------------------------------------------------

POV Silvia Indrath

After we arrived at Eden we were guided to a section where everything necessary for the physical reconstruction process was prepared

"Boy lie down here and Asura start the process, I'll help you in everything I can" said Barbatos

At that moment I activated the Ether art to leave my soul in an egg-shaped container, although I didn't tell Julián, I know it won't be easy to wake me up

Because not only my body is damaged, but part of my soul too and it needs to be repaired, besides the body will not be easy to rebuild, a vessel that can resist my soul is complicated to restore

It will take more than a lot of Ether, mana and skill to wake me up, I hope we see each other soon, Julián, Arthur

That when we meet again we are able to smile, having overcome all the difficulties

That way I fell into the infinite unconsciousness, without knowing when I would return, but with the promise that they will do everything possible, to allow me to see this world again
