«« Mana is present both inside the body & in the outside environment. For Elemental
Arts, Mana is necessary, a person can only use elemental arts if he is able to control the mana
within his body & is able to bring out the mana outside.
Everybody is born with a particular elemental type which can be inherent or not. The
elemental types of an individual can not change & they cannot gain new elemental types.
There are 6 elemental types Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light & Dark. People are normally
born with one or two types, having 3 & 4 types is considered special & rare, having 5 & 6
types is considered extremely rare almost impossible.
If a person has a single elemental type then he is capable of making that very strong, while if
a person has more than one type then learning to use more than one type results in their
strengths being reduced.
But it is upto the individual if he wishes to make both his types stronger or give one type
preference over the other.
Certain elemental types are more common for certain races like wind & water for elves,
earth & fire for dwarfs & dark & fire for demons.
For Beastmen & Humans the four elemental types earth, air, water & fire are considered
common, whereas dark is rare & light is the rarest of them all for all races.
With the help of Mana, the physical strength, speed & agility of the body can be enhanced.
A child can start to feel the mana inside & outside the body at the age of 6 but to control
that Mana & to take in mana from the outside requires a lot of training.
After being able to control the mana inside the body & after acquiring enough mana from
the outside to be able to release mana outside the body, a person can use elemental arts &
would get to know their elemental type as mana would come out in the form of its type.
Normally a person requires two years of training to be able to release mana outside the
body. There are various different forms for various different elemental types which require
the individual to imagine it's form & to say it's chant.
The basic elemental forms for different types are : Waterball for water, fireball for fire, air
disc for wind, stone bullet for earth, dark orb for dark & light orb for light. »»
Hmmm... Mana huh... Ok let's try to feel it inside the body first. I guess mana can be
something like blood or energy. Closing my eyes, relaxing myself & doing the basics of
meditation, I started to imagine mana like blood, focus Leo focus, you can do it.
Oh I can feel a strange energy, it feels to be having some sort of matter but isn't in any form.
It's strange really but it feels nice, now to feel it outside, I guess mana is more like energy :
light, fire, air, water, earth & dark all seem to have some matter & in my previous world all
matter had some kindof energy, I should take that into consideration to feel it outside.
I am able to feel a bit of mana while breathing in air, there is also a feel of it in the land, I can
also feel it in the pond beside this tree & in the heat of sunlight & in my shadow as well,
seems this is what Mana in the outside feels like, it's truly amazing, I really wanna be able to
use elemental arts fast.
"Leo come on, it's time for lunch"
"Yes Mom, coming"
Let's continue this later.

{ Same day, inside home }
[Grace's Point of View]
"Okay now that lunch is ready, all I gotta do is go & search that sneaky brat"
The day he was born was the best day of our life, he truly looked like the personification of
our love, having fair skin with those white hairs resembling his father & those pure golden
eyes resembling mine.
He has been sneaky ever since he started to crawl, just take your eyes off of him for one
moment & that brat sneaks away, & everytime I would find him either in the study room or
out in the garden watching his father train or playing with farm animals.
"Honey lunch is ready, have seen Leo ?"
"Oh yeah, He is here sitting there....eh !? I am sure he was here a while ago !"
"Oh God ! How irresponsible can you be Honey ? Anyways go put your weapons inside the
shed & clean yourself, Imma go & find that sneaky brat"
.... Oh there he is "Leo come on, it's time for lunch."
"Yes Mom, coming."
"Oh you were reading outside today ?"
"Ah yes, It feels better & more fresh outside"
"Ok, you sneaky brat, let's go home now"
"Yup, let's go Mom"
He looks so cute & adorable, especially his face when he looks at me or Reine, there is a
sparkle in his eyes & a wide smile always appears when he calls us mom & dad. I just hope
he grows up to be a strong, kind guy & is able to find all the happiness in the world.
