Chapter 12

[Third Person's PoV]

After Medea's scream Lucian held out his hand in a stopping motion and held out a finger, saying to wait a minute.

Medea seeing this wanted to go and wrangle his neck, but she held herself back. She knew how dangerous it was to Interrupt someone when doing something like this. So all she could do was grit her teeth and hope for a good outcome.

Once Lucian said his piece although he couldn't see it Hecate raised her brow in astonishment, 'He actually went and did it… does he even understand the implications of such actions. No he does, i don't know why but I have a feeling he does.

Furthermore he's the son of Medea, and for as long as I know Medea I know she would teach her son everything she knows, even if she was a little unhinged. So still knowing the implications he went and did it, what a crazy child.'

Hecate then continued with what they were discussing earlier "Now that that is done, let's discuss the reason for your prayers."

Lucian nodded his head "This is a magic I've been researching for years I already have the incantations ready, now I just need your help, o goddess"

"Hmmm, very well, but in order for me to do this you must accept a quest of mine later on, do we have an agreement?"

Lucian nodded his head "We do"

"You may begin"

Lucian nodded his head once again and aimed his hands towards the daggers on the floor, he then closed his eyes and started to remember the incantation he came up with for this specific spell.

"In shadows deep, where mysteries swell,

With whispered words, my power I tell,

Trace on, through arcane design,

In fiery forge, my strength shall shine!

Earth's embrace, foundation firm,

Metal's edge, the blades affirm,

Ignite the flames, let power surge,

Trace on, the elements converge!"

As soon as he finished his words, information started appearing in his head about the weapon in front of how, all information on how it was made.

An excited expression soon came across Lucian's face, 'FFFFFUUUUUCCCCKKK YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHH'

Hecate made a sound of clearing her tone, making Lucian realize what happened. His ears grew red in embarrassment, "Sorry" he squeaked out.

"Now was that all?" Hecate inquired.

Lucian shook his head "No, this is a two parted spell, I will now begin the second part."

Lucian then closed his eyes and started saying another incantation "From mind to reality, a conjuring art, In the void, where creations start,

Project, the essence of my desire, Bring forth the image, set the world on fire!

No limits bind, no chains restrain, In the realm of projection,

I shall reign, Manifest, my will to be,

A reality born from the void, set free!"

As soon as Lucian finished saying it, daggers started appearing. Lucian was using his control of precious Metal to make them float next to him.

The daggers were exactly the same as the ones on the floor, they were an exact replica.

Lucian nodded proudly with a large smile on his face. Lucian bowed his head "Thank you, O' goddess for your help, I would be forever grateful."

Hecate just scoffed at that "Yeah, yeah, sure, don't worry about it. Now if that is all I'll take my leave."

"Wait before you go." Lucian said, stopping her.

"What is it?" Hecate asked

Lucian went and grabbed all the remaining baked sweets he made for this occasion and threw them all in the fire as an offering.

"Here for you as a thank you gift"

Although Lucian couldn't see it, Hecate smiled slightly as she went away. When he felt her leave, Lucian let out a sigh of relief.

He turned towards his mother and gave her a thumbs up.

Medea once she saw it nodded her head and looked at Lucian with a bright smile, when Lucian blinked she disappeared from Lucian's view and where she was standing.

*SLAP*

Lucian was then thrown to the ground as Medea reappeared in front of him, she slapped him so hard across the face a large bright handprint was seen on his cheek.

Lucian was on the floor with a shocked expression holding his burning cheek and looked up to his mother in surprise.

When he looked up at her with his shocked expression and watery eyes due to the pain, he saw Medea looking down at him with tears in her eyes.

She then crouched down and enveloped Lucian in a tight hug "How can you be so smart and so stupid at the same time. Did we not discuss this, the gods are not something to be messing with. It could lead to serious problems,

AND THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT A BET ON LOSING YOUR FREE WILL ARE YOU CRAZY, OOOOH YOU JUST MAKE ME WANT TO WRANGLE YOUR NECK YOUNG MAN"

Medea screamed as she held his face with both of her hands. Medea then sighed while looking at his face and brought him in for another tight hug.

"Ohhh I can't stay mad at you. BUT DON'T THINK I'M FORGIVING YOU THAT EASILY YOUNG MAN, YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT BET YOU MADE THAT YOU WILLING MADE THAT BET."

Medea screamed once again as she broke the hug and held his face. To which Medea sighed once again and brought him in for another tight hug.

"I'm sorry for hitting you but what you just did was very idiotic, so I don't regret doing it. And I will do it again if you are thinking of doing anything remotely similar. The only one which is okay is your father

So started talking mister what is that you were willing to risk your freedom for, and it better be good. If it's something stupid I swear to the gods Lucian I will hit you again."

Lucian sighs, he couldn't be mad at his mother for hitting him, as she was mostly concerned for his safety, so he started explaining.

"Basically, the goddess couldn't believe my father would be the first one to break the oath of the big three, so I made a bet with her that if my father was really the first one I would give up my freedom to her and if I was right she would take me as her student.

Now before you get mad at me, just look at who my dad is up against so I'm willing to say my chances are really really high. And my intuitions told me I was right and as you would always say "Trust your intuition for they shall never fail you", if anything I was just following your advice"

"Oh so you're saying it's my fault now" Medea said with a hand on her hips as she was now standing up looking down on Lucian as he was explaining.

"No ma'am" Lucian said sheepishly, kneeling in front of her with his head down.

Medea scoffed as she said "Very well, you said your intuition was telling you, you were right, so I guess you're right on taking this gamble, so I won't stay mad for long"

Lucian let out a sigh of relief and stood up, he then turned towards his mother and bowed his head "Sorry for worrying you. Now if you don't mind I need to work in the Smith thanks to my new magic a lot of ideas have opened up"

Medea sigh of again and nodded her head "You are forgiven, you can go ahead"

Lucian nodded his head and went back inside, but not before picking up his two daggers and dispelling the ones he made.

IT WORKS BECAUSE I SAID IT WORKS, AND THE EXPLANATION WHY IT WORKS IS BECAUSE OF MEDEA'S SKILL WHICH SHE TAUGHT THE MC IT GIVES HIM THE ABILITY TO USE FATE MAGIC WITHOUT THE NEED OF MAGIC CIRCUITS. SO HA!

"High-Speed Divine Words (高速神言, Kōsoku Shingon?, alt. "Rapid Words of Divine") is a Skill that assists with magical incantations via a power to activate Thaumaturgy without the use of Magic Circuits. The language of the Age of Gods, back when words played a heavy role in spellcasting. As such, it is a power long lost by modern magi. It is particularly useful for direct attack magic."

👆, I copy and pasted that from the wiki on Medea's skill from the Fate universe so once again, HA. IT WORKS CAUSE I SAID IT WORKS.

Hope you all enjoyed 😊
