Chapter 3

Anais Point of View

"Anais, close your eyes and feel the warmth of your insides. Now tell me, what can you see?"

I heard mother's voice.

I'm currently taking my lessons with mom, she's my master in magic and I don't know but it seemed I already knew what is she talking even though I haven't learned it yet.

She's teaching me how to identify and control mana inside my body. And after this, she'll teach me how to transform mana into magic.

Kaagad akong nagmulat ng mata at iniangat ang kamay ko. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just following my mind. Mother is confused when I suddenly opened my eyes.

I focus while staring at my hand, I put a little amount of my mana in my palm as I form an image inside my head.

Laglag panga na lamang akong tinitigan ng aking ina nang lumabas ang bilog na tubig mula ro'n.

"Anais, where did you learned to use elemental magic?" Mom's face was in horror.

"I don't know mother, my mind just told me what should I do." which isn't a lie.

I clearly saw the face of my mother when I answered her.

"Daughter, you're just six. How can you learn to do magic without casting." I can clearly tell she is worried when I heard her voice.

I maintain my stare as I stared at her with my reassuring look.

Not until her eyes started to widened. "Don't tell me this child awakened one of her skill?" kaagad akong napakunot noo sa narinig.

"You must awakened an ability to know everything, having unlimited  understanding or knowledge. Having infinite awareness—omniscient."

Hindi ko magawang makapagsalita dahil sa narinig. Didn't the history said that only royalties must have this ability?

"But let's set that aside." halos matawa ako sa harapan ng aking ina.

She's setting aside this life changing matter? My mom is surely something.

Pero bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay may ipinatong itong bolang itim sa lamesa.

"Put your palm here, let me know your man capacity. I only have this ball,  I treasure this since I made it."

I put my palm there as what she said.

Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko habang tumingin sa kaniya samantalang ang mukha ng aking ay hindi ko na maipinta.

Kakasabi niya lang na mahalaga ito sa kaniya.

Not even a second.

As soon as my palm touch the ball.

It got broken.

"I'm sorry, mother!" I panicked a bit.

She stood up while looking at me in disbelief. "Y-You will easily surpass me." she almost whispered.

I can't see any hatred in her but more in worried face.

Since that incident happened. Mom said I should take break so I am now inside of one of my favorite places here in our place. The green house.

Surprisingly, with this body. Mukhang gusto ko ang mga tanim.

Which is so far from the real me. What the heck, I don't even plant a tree back then and yet, in this life my favorite thing to do is to take care of this shits?!
