Bab 9: A Conversation with an Infant (Part 2)
Ezra found it hard to swallow the incident was the final blow to the fact that he was in a different universe. Seeing something so otherworldly confirmed this. For once in his life, he felt alone. The times when he was on earth by himself he had never felt this feeling yet here it was. A sudden longing for Earth was lingering in his gut and yet there was also a burning sensation. The thirst that was ever present all his life. The quest for knowledge. The Odyssey to find out why things were they were, this emotion overpowered all his loneliness. He had to find out why these things were possible in this universe.
"Mama is strong, little one. She is one of the most talented magical elementalists in the Emperium," Aerwyna boasted. "She can even use some chant-less magic and delayed magic. "
Ezra was having a hard time trying not comment about the laws of physics as she broke a whole lot of them. In the end, he decided to keep quiet and listened to his mother.
"I only ever lost to your father, Reitz in a duel." She pouted. "I hate to admit it but that man is formidable."
"Do you understand what I am telling you, Ezra?" He nodded slowly.
Aerwyna smiled as she said, "You are such an Intelligent little boy, Ezra."
"You seem to have inherited the Magic capacity of the Riverrun's from your Mama's side. We water elementalists have the highest capacity for magic and among them, the Riverrun's have the most magic. It's just that the Lakeborne's son, Rain, snatched the Primarch Seat this time. I'll train more and challenge him for the North East Seat. I need to secure it. Especially that your so talented, Ezra, and your father has fallen from the graces of Rex Imperia" She seemed to be talking to herself more than she was talking to Ezra.
"Mama, what are elementalists?"
"Elementalists are magic users that use the four elements." Ezra smirked,"Four elements my arse, There are one hundred eighteen elements." He thought.
"The four elements, of course, are Water, Fire, Earth and Air."
"They have different specializations, Water, specializes in mana capacity, Fire in magic purity, Earth in range, while Air specializes in cast speed." "We use spells and incantations to activate our powers and manipulate our respective elements. Different spells have different effects but some of them can be shortened."
"If you become stronger there will be a point in time that you are able to use chant-less magic for minor things. Your mother can freeze things around her without incantations or spells at about the length of a yard as long as it is also not magically imbued by another person. If it is it gets tricky for mother"
"The strongest of the Elementalists are the Primarch Four, Each of them can use three elements except their cross element. For example, Primarch Wildfire can also use Earth and Air but he can't use Water at all."
"Of course there are other forms of magic such as the Arcane which are very mysterious. We don't actually know how many types of magic there are."
"Am I confusing you little one?"
"Yes, mama. "Ezra said. "I guess Mama used many words you don't understand. When you are older you probably will understand but it is better to know these things earlier. We have many enemies little one. You must promise me you will not talk to anyone or show your talent except to me and your father, not even to Catalyna. You must not speak to other people especially strangers until you turn at least two years old. You will attract the envy of our enemies and they may strike because they do not want our family to grow strong." "You are still too young to understand little one the dangers that lurk around us. But since you are so powerful you must either fake weakness or grow strong."
"You are the son of a Blackfyre and you most definitely will inherit their element. All sons inherit their father's element and daughters may inherit either their mother's or father's element. So its better if your Father teaches you how to use Fire secretly." "Mother can't teach you her magic because it will be impossible for you to learn as your first element since you are a Blackfyre. Maybe when you become a Primarch someday you will be able to control Water and by then take on the mantle of Rex Imperia." "But don't worry, mother will always protect you so don't worry," as she said this she formed a fist and smote her chest. "I will inform your father. I wonder how shocked your father will be when he discovers your intelligence."
"Knowing that oaf, he will probably laugh so hard and point at his privates and say that he has good seed." She smirked as she said this.
