It was almost my third birthday! The last 2 years consisted of me getting used to my brand new petite body. Walking was still not easy for me , but it definitely got much easier. Recently , I discovered there is a library inside this house of ours! I must explore it.
I crawled over to the library's closed door. I looked up , it seemed as if it were 50 feet tall! I remember when I was about the same height as it. I barged my body into the door , forcing it open. This , unfortunately , alarmed my mother who scooped me up from the floor. I frowned as she scooped me up , foiling my plans of learning about this place. There's nothing embarrassing if I made baby eyes..right? Mustering up my courage , I let out my secret weapon , baby eyes. "Mama!" I said softly , pointing at the library "Please?" It seemed effective as my mother sighed , "Go on then , thirty minutes alright Asher?" She kissed my forehead before setting me down into the library.
As I crawled towards a shelf full of books , I had realised after looking at a books title , they write in the same language as my old world! This will be very effective for me as I grabbed a book , which felt like 5 tons to my baby arms. I let it tumble next to me. I read the title of the book ' The Magical Encyclopedia of Mahri.' Jackpot! I hope this will help me on my future journeys. I lifted the first page , opening it. I started to read. After an hour of reading , I was scooped up by my mother , "Darling , time for sleep!" she said as she walked towards my crib , placing me down. "Have a good night Asher!" I nodded slightly back to her , as if to respond.
As she closed the door , I sat up leaning on my pillow. Entering into deep thought I realised mana in this world seems very similar to the fictional games in my old world. There are set mana channels which are activated after one has been in contact with mana. Mana exists in everything and is everywhere , which means there must be mana near me. The mana channels can be used in two ways , casting or reinforcing. Casters were normally long ranged magicians who could propel their magic with force after gathering some of the mana from the environment. It seems like reinforcers used only their mana , without using any exterior mana. Due to this , they couldn't propel their spells , and their spells normally covered only their body and enhanced their bodies reflexes , strength and endurance. The example in the book was a man who used rock magic to create armour on his skin and making his endurance skyrocket!
This intrigued me. If there were rock , does that mean the mana were certain elements? Water , wind , fire and earth? If it was , what element would I have? My new mission has been set now , get to the library. I grabbed the blanket on me , hanging it over the edge of the crib. I planted my feet on the side of the crib and slid down. I crawled cautiously , looking out for any inconveniences , or worse , my mother. I made it to the library , it was wide open for me , as if it were planned. I entered and grabbed the same book I had earlier. Time flew by. What I had learnt is that the mana channels are wired to only accept one element , except in rare occasions where there were dual , trio or quad elementals! They could use two ,three or four elements! These were very rare and because of that praised due to the variety of their spells , and so they are more versatile. To activate a mana channel , your body must be exposed to the external mana which matched the element you will be able to wield. I crossed my legs , hands on my knees. I started breathing rhythmically. This allowed me to get an insight of my body , seeing the mana channels inside me. Hopefully , this will allow me to absorb some mana. I saw my mana channels to glow slightly , There must of been something happening! Perfect , I may be able to awaken already! I took a sharp breath before exhaling. A warm feeling engulfed my body , was this mana? Had I already awakened?!
I opened my eyes and stood up , my body already feeling lighter than before. I walked up to the window , watching outside the window , my dad was swinging his sword , gracefully. His feet never entangled , a result of practice. Will that be me , one day? I now turned , breaking my line of thought , walking towards the door. I looked up to where the door is. Why must it be a pull door! I groaned audibly , jumping to try to reach the doorknob to pull it. I reached it , but I now hung from the doorknob. I let go , falling and making a loud bang , which alerted both my parents. My father dropped his sword , making his way towards me with haste. He opened the door and picked me up , cradling me. I had felt no pain from this fall , though it was amusing to see how much they cared for me. My father immediately noticed how my mana flowed through my body. My father had a wide grin , calling Maeve , my mother. "Our son... he has awakened already!" My father said smugly. My mother looked shocked , if I knew no better I would of thought she saw a ghost with her expression. My father chuckled at this expression. Maeve stood there , in disbelief. She gestured to hold me and felt the mana. "It's true.." Maeve said , letting out a nervous chuckle "He really did awaken.. whilst it took me till I was 10 to awaken and I was considered a genius.." She smiled.
I had awakened. A wonder boy , that's what I was.
