Chapter 67 - Magicless Human


    "Teach me magic"


    Elisaria had dropped an extra phoenix feather in her pot of bubbling substance by ident, her eyes


    staring at me wide eyed as if I said I was going to fly to the moon or something. "What?" her voice


    sounded incredulous.


    I leaned my lower half and immediately cupped her wrinkly hand "Can you teach me magic?" I


    repeated, staring in her owl-like eyes with determination. Her mouth was wide open as if she couldn''t


    utter anything from disbelief and confusion.


    "Please" I really want to do the water magic the fairies could do. At first it never bothered me if I didn''t


    know how to use magic because I could fight my way around and I have ess to my weapons but


    after the witnessing the amazing water magic from the fairies I wanna learn it to.


    Diana had water trait and she could have manipted ice as well, but she never knew how to because


    no teachers were assigned to her, so Diana never learnt it and I couldn''t rely on her memories to skim


    through the basics.


    I wanna freeze people or drown them in a ball of water maybe even magically build an ice castle on a


    faraway mountain and sing how I''m unhappy in this ce and I don''t belong here like Elsa did....


    Just kidding...Maybe


    "I don''t teach magic" her words came out venomous as she tugged her hand back. "Especially water


    magic" the old witch mmed the ss jar that contained tons of red zing phoenix feathers that I


    was curious on where she got them.


    "If ya wanna learn water magic find ya self a water-based magician. Maybe someone from Isvand"


    "Thanks for stating the obvious, Miss Elisaria, it''s not like I haven''t tried to ask a person from my


    hometown to teach me and none offered too" the sarcasm came out easily through my lips and I rolled


    my eyes, crossing my hands and mming my but on the chair. Pouting like a child.


    My only chance of learning magic while I''m on break is gone.


    I nced back at the witch who was now sprinkling in some green powder in the bubbling substance of


    blue that turned red instantly. I tilted my head and eye in curiosity.


    "What are you brewing?"


    "Scumtumis" she answered, now stirring the pot. I''m seeing a witch brew potion for the first time well


    physically not on screen. "I have no idea what that is. Can you exin please?"


    I heard a cumbersome hack of agitated annoyancee from her. "It was always peace and quiet


    before ya showed up. Always asking this and that never keeping ya mouth shut for a second."


    My lips twisted in a scowl, and I narrowed my icy blue eyes ring daggers at her. "It''s not my fault


    your stupid ancient house doesn''t contain a T.V" I mumbled silently so she couldn''t hear me.


    "Heh?" she turned her head to face me. "Sorry your old ears can''t hear me properly" I said a grin of


    mischief crossing my face.


    She rose an eyebrow as if she epted my challenge of who can insult the other until one starts to cry.


    "I''m not the one here who can''t even use simple magic that even a little kid would know" the mockery of


    her voice made me my eye twitch and an irritated smile twisting my lips.


    "I rather have no magic than be an old hag in the woods"


    Her iris diluted, the eyes of a birds of prey red at me as if I was it''s next meal, she kept her gaze on


    me for a while she smacked her lips together when suddenly she let a cackle so loud that it would have


    woken up the whole forest.


    "I may be an old hag, but I have lived far longer than ya old age would ever" Elisaria pointed her long


    bony finger with a long yellow stained nail at me, her face expressed the glory of victory.


    I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out, my mind had went nk at the moment.


    ''She''s got a point''.


    Elisaria smirked in amusement before continuing to stagger around the pot throwing in whatever


    seemed to catch her eyes. "Can you please teach me magic" I nagged her hoping she will give in and


    teach me.


    "I told ya. I don''t teach anyone magic" she mmed the jar on the shelf making the rest of the jars


    shake. "Why though? Just teach me how to start off and then I will figure out the rest myself"


    Elisaria looked at me as if I was stupid or something. "The elemental magics are all different, Artemis.


    They have their own way of functioning the users abilities. Earth mages get their source of power from


    the core of the earth, their spiritual source is connected to the earth itself. That''s how we are able to


    manipte the traits of earth itself" she exined, her voice old and creaky as ever.


    "Earth mages can learn the aspects of earth magic anywhere in Alphyria due to the power source


    being in the core of Alphyria however Water mages however are different whening to learn the


    basics and can only learn to manipte water is to learn it before hand in Isvand, the power source"


    my eyebrows dropped down to my eyes, twitching in annoyance as my lips pulled into a scowl.


    "If ya wanna learn to control the water ya must go back to Isvand where ya came from." The growl of


    annoyance that spat out from her lips got me to narrow my icy blue eyes at her in response


    ''What is this now? Avatar thest airbender? I ain''t going across the world to learn water magic. Nah


    **** that shit I''m just going to be a magicless human like I was in my past life''


    "Tch, forget I even asked" I crossed my arms and pouted like a little child, angry at the fact that the


    author had to make it difficult to learn a certain magic. ''Couldn''t it be like a normal learning magic


    system like mana? would have made things simpler for me to learn it. Oh well goodbye to drowning


    and freezing people then and Hello to slicing their throats again'' a long distressful sigh escaped my lips


    as I shook my head.


    "However, I''m curious on how ya do not know of this straightforward knowledge" I froze, wide eyes with


    eyebrows rose up staring into her skeptical eyes. Her brows were creased, and her nose wrinkled,


    narrowed eyes that held many questions towards me observed me thoroughly.


    "I don''t know if you were listening, or my words went through one ear and out the other. No one in my


    vige wanted to teach a woman, especially me. They never even provided me with basic information


    of the concepts of magic either." I spoke with confidence not a single stutter or hesitation to be heard.


    Elisaria looked like she believed me again, rising an eyebrow before turning away with a whish of her


    cloak. "Ya such a pitiful youngss, aren''t ya Artemis"


    "Yes, very much I am." I spoke in sarcasm, cing my chin against the wooden table. "Is there any


    other way for me to learn" I mumbled to myself, trying to rack through my memories of Diana and the


    book itself.


    I nced over back at Elisaria, her long dark cloak that she wore the whole time I was here started to


    flow but there was no wind inside neither was the windows or door open to lift it off the ground. I lifted


    my head up from the table and gawked at her, she hovered her wrinkly bony hands on top of the


    cauldron and started to mumble a chant I could not understand.


    The boiling red substance started to bubble even more as it rose to the top, and these fog-like balls


    flew out from it. Flying around leaving fog trails behind it before circling around the old witch, yet the


    witch however paid no mind to it as she enchanted in thenguage, I could not trante myself.


    Elisaria had closed her eyes and her voice had changed into a young echoing tone, rising her hands


    slowly in the air as the red ball of fog began to follow those bony hands.


    She continued to chant when her eyes immediately opened, and she whispered a loud unknown


    what happened when the balls of red fog dispersed in different directions as a quick invisible force hit


    me, quickly sheltering myself with my arms.


    The loud bubbling sounds of the liquid had calmed down and the witch has stopped chanting. It was


    suddenly quite with only the faint sounds of flowing water was heard within the room. I peeked out from


    my arms to see the old witch waddling her way to the door. "Hey Elisaria, what did you cast?" I called


    out to her, but she ignored me and flung open the wooden door with a creek before stepping out into


    the light.


    "Oi!" I jumped from my seat and ran after her. This witch was sure fast for her age, especially with


    those staggering legs of hers.


    I nearly slid past the door but grabbed on the door frame before I slid and crashed the empty pot nts


    stacked in the corner for some unknown reason. Staggering back up I swiftly ran out the door and


    jogged down the cobblestones stairs before reaching Elisaria''s side.


    "What did you cast?" I said in a huff of breath, the excitement of seeing a witch perform witchery was


    so cool. Elisaria continued to dodge my questions, mumbling the same chants over and over again.


    ''Well, I guess I shouldn''t disrupt her just in case she messes up and mes me for it''


    I followed her quietly into the forest not uttering a word to the old witch who was busy mumbling the


    same chants repeatedly as if the world depended on her to keep chanting or it will stop and explode or


    something.


    We continued the stone and dirt path until we reached to where ric and Demarcus resided. The


    green forest wolf was resting upon a giant stone before he perched his head up when we came into


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    view. ric didn''t move from his ce and continued to stare at us with it''s green eyes that resembled


    the lushes fresh forest itself.


    I put my hand mid air indicating a hello to him and in response ric nodded his head. I searched for


    Demarcus, but I couldn''t see him anywhere near. I shrugged my shoulders ''He must have went to get a


    drink or something''


    ncing back at Elisaria who had swiftly made her way to the middle of the oval grassnd, she stood


    still under the sun and had her hands spread apart with her palms opened in a bowl as if an invisible


    ball rested within her palms.


    Slowly making my way to her, I plopped myself on the cool grass in front of her and rested my chin on


    my palm, waiting patiently for her to finish her incarnation. She kept reciting the words quietly with


    closed eyes.


    Being the respectful person I am, I waited patiently and obediently for her to finish so I can ask her my


    questions.


    Giving my surrounding side nces, I could see the breeze sweep through the trees, sight of all the


    flowers and buds on the trees which the breeze carried it''s fragrance to freshen the ce with the


    sweet aroma of fresh flowers. The sun itself was shining brightly this afternoon and it warmed the top of


    my head.


    ''I wonder what Daisuke is up to?''


    \~Tokyo Japan\~


    A bloody cough escaped Daisuke''s mouth, the warm crimson liquid raced down his jaw and onto his


    shirt, staining the white blouse to red. His wistful brown eyes stared into the cold demonic steel blue


    eyes of the master who was crouched in front of him, the pistol pointed under his chin ready to fire


    whenever he said anything that pissed the master off. Daisuke''s blood-stained hand was pressed


    against the gun shot on his abdomen, the blood rapidly gushing out and making a pool of blood below


    him.


    Daisuke''s brown orbs shifted to Kaido whoy silently on the floor without a single sign of movement to


    be seen.


    Fumihiro pushed the tip of the gun up to his chin to get the agents attention back on him again "A


    traitor is always a traitor" the cold-hearted words escaped out harsh and crude from Fumihiro''s lips


    easily. "If I see my great agents going behind my back like that again, the next bullet" Fumihiro slowly


    moved the pistol to the silver man''s head, cing the tip to the side of his head and with push of the


    trigger a click was heard, making Daisuke flinch. "Goes through your head" the man''s cold warning had


    now ced a permanent home in his heart that will make sure he wouldn''t step out of line again.


    Fumihiro stood up without a single nce towards the two men and strolled out of the room, the room


    had seemingly warm up when he left and Daisuke was left leaning against the blood-stained wall of his


    own, the defeated eyes staring at the body of his friend.


    He opened his mouth to call out his buddies name but all that came out was the stter of blood.


    Daisuke slowly reached his hand out, but the agony of his wound made him wince back and fell to the


    ground with grunt. "shit" he felt hot tears fall down his cheek, the lump in his throat blocking the only air


    way.


    "Kaido" his staggering hand had reached Kaido''s shoulder fisting the ck material within his palm.


    "Don''t die on me you bastard"
