章 7: The awakening room

After deducting the functioning of magic with the help of his 'dream'. Luna resumed viewing her memories at the time of the ceremony of her 6 years, to find out if she has the modified DNA, and if so, what element she masters.

The first scene she saw was, a stone building, as big as a football stadium. She had just gotten off a horse-drawn carriage hand in hand with her father, Nikola, and her mother, Maria. There were several other carriages following in line, so his brothers, his grandparents and a lot of nobles. On the way to the large stone building, there were a bunch of citizens, who shouted in a loud voice: "We salute, the Emperor and the Empress."

There was no way not to have a large crowd, the large stone building was located in the main square of the capital, Nord City of the Northern Kingdom, which has more than 50 million inhabitants. In addition to this, it was, Luna Nikolson, the only daughter of the imperial couple, who was going to do the magical awakening ceremony.

Despite the large number of people present, there is no agitation except the regular cheers of the crowd. Soldiers were stationed everywhere to ensure security, but especially to form a path that leads to the large stone building.

Luna, who was no longer impressed by this kind of scene, it happens every time the imperial couple is out. Under the guidance of her parents, she began to walk towards this large building holding more closed hands of her parents, due to the pressure and importance of the event. She didn't want to disappoint and ridicule the imperial family, after learning that she couldn't use magic.

His parents, aware of his nervousness, smiled at each other. Maria, her mother, whispered to her, "Don't worry, my dear, your awakening will go well." Nikola, his father, went on to say "It's nothing if you don't have Luna magic, you can stay and take care of me…" before it can finish. He felt a pinch in his waist and a murderous look from his wife, Maria. After seeing this interaction, Luna became calmer, and a smile was visible on her face. People who saw that smile couldn't help but exclaim, "She's really cute the Princess when she smiles," or "If only my daughter was the same," which earned them a pat on the head from their wife.

To catch up just now, his father explained to him, "The big stone building is the Revival Room. This is where you're going to know if you're an elemental." he put a hand on Luna's head and continued, "You just have to put your hands on a stele and wait to find out. If you become one, the stone corresponding to your element lights up. If it doesn't turn on, you stay normal." When he finished, he wiped his forehead with his hand, while glancing at his wife.

While Luna was in her thoughts, they arrived at her destination. The recovery room was even more luxurious than the main room at the castle. There were benches inlaid with precious stone, which were themselves aligned in several rows and formed extremely large columns. Braziers were arranged everywhere, so as to have light everywhere. The ceiling was vaulted with a giant painting with its share of extremely expensive materials, which depicted characters each wielding an element in a vast battle against wild animals. And in front of all the benches there was a pure gold stele with various elemental sculptures, and on the wall paintings representing each element with a magical ore larger than Luna, herself.

Her mother smiled when she saw her daughter's stunned face and said, "I had the same reaction as you did at your age, impressive, didn't I?" She nodded softly and went to answer, but Nikola added, "It must be impressive, the magi are such a scarce and precious resource for the kingdom. We must not hesitate to show them the greatness of their homeland." Luna nodded even more was answered seriously "Daddy is really smart", on this Nikola smiled at full tooth.

After walking and sitting on a bench in the front row, the family of three began to talk about life. The rest of the family took place around their bench, the 2 brothers began to tell Luna, that the stele was going to swallow her soul, to scare her. The whole family laughed, except Maria, who hit the 2 brothers. Meanwhile, the other nobles came to greet them in person, and then left to take their seats on a bench.

It wasn't just Luna, who was going to wake up. In a city with more than 150 million inhabitants and a kingdom with more than 35 billion, it would be strange if only one person was awakened. There were more than a hundred boys, but also girls, from all walks of life. From rural civilians to the most powerful nobles, to civilians from all over the kingdom seeking to enjoy the blessing of the princess's awakening.

Fortunately the pregnancy lasts 2 years, and that to be able to get pregnant, it is not very simple, otherwise Blue Star could deviate from its orbit. But this is still too complex a subject to be explained here.

With the fact, that the princess was going to do the ceremony. The room was fuller than usual. At the entrance, in an express line, the guards asked for the money and the birth certificate of the person concerned who participates in the awakening to bring them in. While in other lines, which all lead into the recovery room, many people squeezed each other to have the chance to enter as a spectator.
