Chapter 14 - Ch 14 Mana Pathways

In the end, it took days for Mira to calm down and return to her normal cheerful self, through I still didn't get why she was so hyped up but oh well.

Anyways, all in all, it was a happy trip and a day well spend, the next few days were full of happiness as everyone in the orphanage were blessed and since a lot of people visited the orphanage, even we were treated better.

From good clothing and better food, everyone was provided with them all during these past few days.

"See this!!" Jay said, showing as what looked like a contract.

"What's this?" Mira asked, as I tried to read the contract in the hand but before I could get a good look at it, Jay told us himself.

"It is a given to me by a knight," he said as a smile appeared on his face, "He will teach me how to use sword. Apparently, he is was a a magic swordsman who specialises in fire element."

Holding it close to his chest, he looked at it with unsuppressed emotional, "He will help me become a magic swordsman... One day."

Was he crying? Maybe. Were it tears of happiness? Probably. His dream has always been to be a magic swordsman, but was it even his dream? After all, in this orphanage, half of the dreams are dreamed by dead and passed on to living.

Soon, even Mira get was promised a scholarship due to her High level blessing in fire and Low level blessing in wind... It seems she will become a mage to, just as she wants to.

An year went passed by quick, as Alex too awakened with 3 element blessing, except for earth element however, he was blessed with the blessing of Sword too.

Due to all that, we weren't even restricted to go out of orphanage as much as we were in the past.

These days were beautiful, every day better than the last, they all were filled with joy and laughter... As time too slipped faster than ever, as it do when you are happy.

'I wish these days continue just like this...' I thought as another year went by as everyone started to prepare for thier second blessing, honing thier first blessings.

If you want to be a magic swordsman, you need basic understanding on how well you can use your element and sword.

Blessing are like weapon, just like a sword, how well can you use a sword depends upon your own talent for it, and talent is what you can use to surpass other with your second blessing.

And what if you don't talent to use that weapon or don't show any results with it? You won't be given more resources which in this case is blessing.

However, even though everyone started thier training, there wasn't much for me to do.

Since I didn't receive any blessing from God of War, there is no point in me learning any weapon, as my growth with it will be far slower that its not worth it and as for magic?

Well, I could learn that just like Mira who has started learning as a dual mage or Fire and Wind but the amount of magic a person can learn are limited.

For every new magic a person learn, they need to create a new mana pathway, which with time and familiarity with that spell, imprint on that body as an instinct, making it difficult to remove so you must consider all this before starting to learn any spell.

For Mira, it's not a big deal as she could learn 3 Fire Spell and 2 wind spell with her blessings, and can learn 2 element spell like, Fire tornado if she successfully receive her second blessing.

Her path is set and even though I could learn 2 spell of each element with my Low level blessing, I was hesitant to do it, as even though it's been years since I met that thief, there was no doubt that he was skilled.

When even the priest, mages and Paladins at the venue wasn't able to notice him, how was I able to see him? Even I have no idea.

But still, I continue holding onto the thought that we will meet soon enough with the card that he gave me in his hand.

[THE RED CLOWN - FREE PASS]

I don't know what it all meant, as for all it looks, it was nothing but some sort of ticket or pass to some event.

That's why, even though a few people advised me to keep to learn atleast one spell to protect myself in case of some accident but refused them all stubbornly.

Just like that, another year passes and before I know it, I was 8 years old and...

"Ouch," I said lightly as... "No..." I said looking at blood... "Murder?" I muttered, "i muttered my parents?" I asked, with fear in my eyes as a sudden headache hit me before clarity returned on my face and...

"I see," I said as I looked at my hands again, one had a apple, which was half peeled and other one had a knife.

However, that wasn't all... "So, blood is one of the triger? That's... Good to know." I thought to myself, as I looked at my finger that I cut while peeling apple.

It wasn't pain that brought me back tho, "Knife and Blood... Bring back memories." I said as I closed my eyes, they weren't happy memories.

Anyways, I had left one more false safe last time I gained my clarity, but still, it's been years since then and I never once did had clear mind.

"Well, but a knife tho, this can come in handy." I said, it could be said that just knowing a way to be who I am can help me a lot, after all, if I died as Liam, while being Liam, then Aura will never return, that's why, I have to die as Liam while being Aura.

Only then, even if Liam dies, Aura will stay alive... "I will never be same after its over," I muttered to myself as 3 years worth of happy memories came to my mind.

Well, it wasn't time for thinking all this tho, I won't be able to keep my clarity for long, I don't know what, but I have to do something atleast... "Things are still under my control... Yeah..."
