CHAPTER 22

Dawn Scarlett



"The white-colored orb which has a touch of crystals on it is an Ice element and the other one that is glowing and has the gold color is an element that I am really completely unfamiliar of but in books, it is called as the divine element that only the chosen divine lady could possess and it is a different element compared to the vox" he said which made me once again astounded because of what I have just found out. I really cannot believe it like how I am able to have magic powers when in the first place I am not even naturally born in this world? I am just transmigrated with my soul and original body intact so how the hell did it all happen? When did I acquire magic powers in the first place? I really need to ask Fourteen about this because honestly, he did not inform me about the possibility of having magic powers! He only told me that I am given another chance to live my life the way I want it and right now I am discovering a lot of things especially the fact that I have this title of being the Divine lady that I did not even wish in the first place?!



Argh! I only want to live my life again without any regrets but I did not expect that it also has a price to pay! Like what the hell?!

"Alright since we are already finished in knowing your elements - I am now going to start the lecture on certain things that may concern you and I will also try my best in explaining to you your elements," Raphael said and before I could even protest, my whole body started floating and before I knew it, I am already sitting on the chair and books started pilling right before my eyes. And based on the book titles, they are all about magic and the likes - I am guessing that these books are historical books in a sense.



Okay? So is he going to make me read all these books? Well, not that I cannot read these books but seriously?



"I am not going to force you read the books about magic and the history about everything but if you have time I do suggest that you read a couple of pages because you might be able to understand this world more than you could ever imagine" he said and again I cannot help but to be a little but amazed because he was really able to counter what is on my mind - well, I guess I am really predictable or rather my expressions are easier to read right now since everything is really new to me. The thing about magic and the fact that I am also able to use is is such a wrecking ball.



"Okay so first let me explain this first. While most mages only possess the ability to control only one element. Only a fraction most of the times approximately five percent of the mages population has the ability to control more than one elements which is usually only up to two elements. This is however, already to be considered as a rare talent to posses and is not something that can just be simply learned, in short it is inborn. However, there is also a little possibility that a mage could be born with more than two elements and the possibility that a mage with more than two elements is so slim. If mages with two elements - which we call as dual elemental mages are a rare case scenario then persons who with more than two are considered as out of this world." he stated which made me a little but surprised because I thought it is natural for mages to be able to use more than one element since again - they are mages and they are supposed to be versatile and that assumption of mine is based from again the books I have read and the animated series and fictional movies I was able to watch in my previous life. I really did not thought that it will considered as a rare case in this world.



Wait a minute - so that is why he easily became the archmage because he was born with more than two elements and Aurelius is considered to be a lot powerful than him because despite the fact that they have the same number of elements that can wield, Aurelius was born with the ability to manipulate the shadow element which is considered to be extinct just like what that thing I read a while ago revealed to me.



"So basically, a mage with Two Elements can perform both of their element at the same time. In some other cases, mixing them and creating a new style to their elemental magic. Just like this" Raphael continued and he suddenly summoned fire and then I just felt the wind in this place strengthened a little bit, which only means that he used magic and as if on cue, the fire he summoned on top of his hand intensified. I thought he was already finished but suddenly a metal bar just appeared right before our eyes. The metal moved and then he combined the blazing fire with it and obviously because of that he was able to liquefy or rather melt the metal - he started manipulating it and obviously recreating it in order for the mental to obtain it's new shape.



"This is one of the things that dual elemental mages can do which people with more than two elements could also do, also liquefying metal is nit something a normal Metal Mage can do, as Metal requires intense heat to be melted and is not a natural phenomenon. Just like what I did, I intensified my flames first using wind magic and that is the time when I also combined it with my the metal bar in order for me to perform the magic I just used" he exclaimed and as if on cue, the metal bar that he melted and manipulated already attained it's newest form and from being a simply bar it turned out to be something more pleasing to the eyes. I am still admiring it when it just suddenly disappeared which is again, because of Raphael.



"Other than that, we also have this so called Advanced Elemental Magic which is an extension of elemental magic. Every mage has a different personality and trait and there are times that this personality and trait of theirs are greatly affected by the elemental magic that they possess - which means that magic also has traits. Advanced Elemental Magic is simple to understand, it basically just visibly shows the growth of a Mage from the moment that he or she have learned how to use his or her element. A Magi who has advanced their Elemental Magic, will show major difference in their Elemental Magic compared to average Elemental Magic. Whether in quantity, or better control. In further cases, a Mage can reach to the point where their Element transformed into a completely different form, other than that, they are also able to gather knowledge and improve their total being - and at some point they are able to gain rank in the society for advancing their magical capabilities"



"Just like you?" I asked and then he looked at me and he nod his head.



"Proceeding, just like what I have told you, individuals have different personalities or traits and they are often influenced by the magical element that they have inside their body and so magic has also a trait of its own and I have called is as the elemental trait. While every mage was born with their element, the magic in their blood goes back to their family. In a Mage's family tree, usually they have a family member with a different element to the element they are born with. However, in some cases the individual is the only mage in the family or that the element that the individual is born with is different from what the family has, because again not all people in this world are able to use magic.



And so the blood line is necessary to know since it sometimes affects the Element of the mage, in a way it causes their element to have their own characteristic different to another mage with the same element. Just for example, sometimes a water mage will find it easier to form and manipulate other things that has water in it such as the human body, the animals or plants , compared to controlling water as it is. This is called Elemental Trait, not to be mistaken to Dual Element, Elemental Trait is a genetic trait a Magi inherited from their Family. While not necessarily preventing other Magi of the same element from doing the same task, elemental trait, simply makes the mage find it easier to do that certain task . But, not every Magi has Elemental Trait because again, every one in this world are different - at some point there are a lot of people who feel inferior to the dual elemental mages or to people who has been born with great talents and that inferiority complex is the reason why there are a lot of things that are happening in this world that shouldn't really be happening in the first place."



he continued and I cannot help but to agree with the last sentence he said. Well, I actually think that no one is actually to blame in the first place. Insecurities are indeed natural for people to have, what is wrong is that people are not contented enough with what they have and because of their greed they cannot be happy with other people's happiness and the fact that they are going to do anything just to destroy that happiness and that they could be able to attain what they can really never attain.



I am about to say something - or more of ask something regarding the three orbs still floating right before my eyes which he called as the magic inside my body because I really want to know what they actually mean. Who wouldn't be curious right? And not to mention I really do not want to be left in the shadows again - I need to know a lot about myself especially the fact that I have that title of being a Divine Lady even if I really do not want it in the first place. I need to know how exactly I will be able to keep that fact a secret until I could because from what I have found out - being a Divine Lady also entails that I am going to have my own set of enemies and the worst case scenario is that my enemies are not human beings, they are out of this world beings.



"And since you are a divine lady, you are not only able to use elemental magic but also the divine magic which is also called as the spirit magic"



"What? I thought there is only element magic? Why is there spirit magic?" I exclaimed and he shrug his shoulders



"There is really no such thing at the moment as spirit magic because such thing is already buried in the arcane history books but yeah since you came and you possess such magic then I am going to explain it to you - with the last one which is the Grey Magic"



What the actual f-ck? So there are actually three kinds of magic in this world? Why did no one informed me about these kinds of things in the first place?! Damn I really look so stupid right now - it is as if I am a baby learning new things about life!
