Big day of New life.
It was a long Talk making sure we understood what we were doing.
It seemed like They Wanted us to Cry and Whine but To us Children, It was just a big adventure.
I understood the severity BUT Said nothing!
Why would I This was a dream come true and I am still going to get to Summon A Beast Of magic or a creature of mystical Lineage!
Hey, I may even get lucky and get something So Special It Dominates The World.
As the Queen Said We were all Separated And Allowed to Clean up, rest, and Get ready for our awakening.
This was simple, For us to make a contract, we needed to extend our Souls.
Us five-year-olds had no clue how to do this Well from my point of view I had no clue Likewise as the others.
The man Behind us Walked up to each of us and set his hand on our backs I was last and When he set his hand down.
I felt Fire in my back, I looked over and Everyone had their eyes closed?
I did not take their advice.
I sat Down Held both my eyes open and Began To breathe.
IN AND OUT!
IN AND OUT!
IN AND OUT!
Eventually, I felt that Burn Spread throughout my being Each of my veins Felt Lively as The Pulse of my heart made the Burn Mellow out I felt a pinch in my heart, Head, and Stomach.
I fell over to the side as the old man grabbed my neck and held me He Spoke.
" You unwittingly opened All Nine meridians and Are Cultivating from the air?!"
He Sat me straight and Spoke.
"You must breathe Listen to this pattern then match it.
In through the nose Deep, Two Short Breaths out, One long out, In through the nose deep repeat."
I did as he said as I felt Energy fill my lungs.
The Burn began to Turn Cold As I felt My Blood And My muscle Every ounce of my body Stiffened as the Cold Circulated from my Core To my head Then to my heart.
That Was where the chill turned into Burning energy.
I was Forced into this weird breathing pattern and the air began to tingle as it was now Slightly sour!
I felt that breath Enter my body and spread to all Nine of my meridians the Solidify in my Chest.
The next thing I know I was bleeding and then Expelling an awful Smelling Nasty Black Goo The Blood wasn't A large amount but the Nasty Black stuff was Everywhere.
It seems I wasn't the only one to do so Four out of the Eight of we Did so.
It was A small Black haired girl with bright blue eyes in a Blue summer dress her elf ears twitched as she looked at the goo.
A Young Blonde Boy In a red Tea dress his eyes matching the dress looked at me and then away In anger.
Woah That was Fine I mean for me to say I have no intention of angering the poor bastard.
You shall be my rival With an attitude like that!
A Bald boy With a monk's outfit his eyes were Grey and His skin was like mine except his Hand had No claws.
The last one was Me in my white and Purple pajamas.
Grey-skinned chubby face One black eye and one green eye.
I can see my reflection in the Mirrors above us.
This Hall Now that I have had time to look at it is Quite large It would host a large ball easily.
The thrones were simple wooden Chairs With beautiful color cloths and Cushions.
The colors adorning the room in vibrant Shades of gold and Red made the Bright yellow carpet Seem Insignificant.
But the real beauty was The mirror ceiling that was Lighting the room with Natural Light while accenting the Red.
The Smell of this room however was putrid thanks to our Goo which I might add may have ruined the carpet...
The Large men Beside us both casts spells As The Mana Around us Swirled I felt it like Live wires as the mana condensed into the man's Body.
One Said "Cleans", And the other said "Purification".
This made Short work of the smell and Cleaned us of the Goo also!?
"That was Awesome!"
I unintentionally blurted out.
No that's not the embarrassing part.
This was...
" I Need that spell, I would never have to take a shower again just boom Spell clean!"
Yep, I was so excited I said that aloud and the looks I got were mainly from the women.
All the guys were Nodding in agreement!
I Then Heard from my left.
" That is unnatural to not shower is tantamount to blasphemy!"
That was the Boy in the red tea dress.
I looked at him for a second and answered with my honest opinion!
" Bathing Is A luxury! what happens if you are in the field and get Something gross on you Do you want to trudge back with all that nasty or boom clean spell."
"That way you can take your time getting back and Then Enjoy a Nice Relaxing Bath?"
the Boy Scowled at me Before saying his Peace.
" That is logical Yes, but just remember to bathe.
Hygiene isn't taken care of completely!"
He Spun around And The Queen giggled as did the king before he Spoke Up.
" Let's get The next ordeal over with So We can get you all Set For bed. It is getting quite dark outside."
At his words, I noticed a window to the Far wall and the sun was setting.
That means that we were Cultivating for hours not minutes!
There was No real Problem with it Except all of the New tingles and The Weird outer Sensations.
But I can get used to it.
The Royal Court gave us each a room and a servant to help us.
Mine was a gentle Old Dude.
He was a Combat butler, It seems this is his last year of service as he just turned three hundred and only has a few hundred years left.
I listened to a few of his stories about his time at war, I also Heard Something that made me Incredibly proud.
I gave him my undivided attention.
He explained to me How His Creature was a small Black snake Called a poison Oil snake.
He used shadow magic and would Practically commit assassinations.
He looked me in the eyes and asked.
Want to learn Some Old magic?
I Was ready I nodded my head So eager and he spoke Swiftly.
" Okay, Don't speak Just think of Black Ink covering your hands."
I did as he said and with my Imagination, I made Puddles of Ink that pooled in my hand.
This was extremely important when I say The Ink was like a mist after it left the little pools although the feeling wasn't of liquid more like Gel or jelly.
His eyes seemed to sparkle as he Spoke to me.
" Good! good Boy, It is Nice to see you so eager to learn Black magic. I may talk to a few of the other butlers and Maids to see the Extent of your Magic Skill tomorrow."
He Grabbed my clothes whilst talking He Straightened up the room and prepped the bed as I got changed and ready for bed.
He looked Across the room As if to answer some invisible force and I could feel the Mental aspect of the Message but was unable to Grasp it.
Or so I thought as the man looked at me With Wide eyes.
" Boy do that again!"
I opened my mind as The Pulse spread from my Brain I felt A Ting off of his Location and From his location, I felt Thousands of Tings Almost like a Message alert nonstop.
His hand Flickered and His Mind Pulsed out also He Then Pinpointed to my location and Sent a message directly to my head which I heard Clearly.
" Great You have Telepathic ability! I applaud you for casting a mental aura At so young, As This will help you out in the future."
His glow seemed Different As He Didn't Bother to move his moth and Just Spoke mentally To me.
After about Ten minutes Of his Telepathic storytelling, My head began To burn.
I got an internal shock in the back of my neck and It was lights out.
I felt the Fuzz of My consciousness and the Inputs From his Words But I couldn't Focus As It was just garbled.
Everything went Completely Blank.
All I could hear was Static But In My mind, I saw some Event Play like a movie.
A man and woman sitting on a porch Both Shrowded in the void As The Line of Sight faded so did The Vision of those Two.
The Void Floating around Their small plot of land and little house Made her Words Echo but I still didn't understand.
Her eyes Filled my Dream Turning it into a nightmare as the Eyes Duplicated Staring into my Soul from everywhere.
