Wielding of a familiar? What the hell does that even mean? Reilly exclaimed and I shared her thoughts on this. I met her at the crossing door on my way back to Umbras and then we went to grab something for our late lunch. At first we discussed what we did during our first day of The student's week which wasn't that interesting for both of us. I only attended classes while Reilly only discussed with Professor Ikaim what they can work on together. I mentioned meeting Nathan and that I also invited him to the party. Reilly only shrugged her shoulders saying that she doesn't mind others joining us, even though the party might get shut down if there is too many people and if we are too loud. We dived into our food and after a few minutes, Reilly was on her way to grab another box. I was content with what I had so I only asked Reilly if she can bring me a cup of tea on her way.
The cafeteria was maybe half full, filled with people's chatter or sounds of cutlery clunking against the plates. The air was a little bit colder than it was at Aveus which I noticed after a shiver crawled down my spine and I had to pull my sleeves over my hands, then cross my arms in front of my chest and hug my body to generate a little bit of heat. Luckily, Reilly got back quickly and placed a cup of hot jasmine tea in front of me. I didn't hesitate even for a second and grabbed it the second it touched the table and Reilly let go of the handle. I blowed a few times to cool down the top layer and took a sip to warm me up. Reilly was back to eating while I was happy with my tea as I continued talking about today. Then the thing Professor Coldos told me came across my mind so I told Reilly about it. I didn't care if anyone is going to hear us, maybe because we were pretty tucked away in a far corner but also even if they heard me talking about it, they wouldn't understand, probably will just assume it's part of some studies.
Reilly: So this wielder thing is... what exactly?
Me: I have no idea. Professor Coldos came across that tattoo or sigil thingie which was written in this Noion language he is currently studying. Exact drawing with the name "wielder of a familiar" next to it.
Reilly: You can like manipulate metal things and melt them?
Me: I can move them based on creating a magnetic field with my electricity but not melt them. That's a welder, Reilly.
Reilly: Oh, my bad. Wait, wasn't there a mention of something named familiar in that wolf boy prince book you had?
I tilted my head at Reilly in confusion, trying to remember what she is talking about and then it hit me. The Ulferonn book. But all I had with me is the book Professor Coldos published. I quickly stood up on the spot, taking my backpack from the empty chair next to me and walked away with a fast pace. Reilly quickly stuffed her cheeks with the last pieces of her fried chicken, then caught up with me.
With my lungs burning and crawling out of my throat, I ran up the stairs and arrived at the Zeus dormitory level. Climbing those stairs is getting a little bit easier but it's only a teeny tiny bit. Without wasting any time, I entered our room, took of my shoes so fast even I don't know how and then went straight towards my desk. I tossed my bag on the chair and then rummaged through the mess on my desk. No book. I bent down to check the drawers but my back was protesting so I had to crouch and continue my search for the professor's book. I found it in the bottom drawer and wondered if I wasn't meant to return it by now. He let me borrow his book for how much I wanted to but he might need it so I should probably take it with me tomorrow and give it back to him tomorrow. I took the book, my secret notebook and went to sit down on my bed. I placed everything in front of me, opened the book, then the secret notebook and flipped through the pages to find the mention of a familiar. Reilly also sat on my bed in front of me, the books now lying between us. I crossed my legs under me and hunched over the texts while Reilly kept her feet tethered to the floor. At least one of them, then she placed her right leg over her left one and leaned back, supporting herself with he left arm. She picked the secret notebook which is not so much secret anymore and started to go through it.
