Let the Light Show

Chapter 1: The Little Metal Box

3 Years Later

Theo was hard at work, making more orders for the military. Theo had invented the 3DMG (3 Dimensional Maneuver Gear). He may be wealthy, but her uses his currency wisely. He was a noble dwarf with a heart of gold. He wouldn't plant his money off, but yet only buy what he and (y/n) needed.

3 years have passed since that fateful night. 3 wonderful & worrisome years. Theo knew babies were tough, but this certain baby was tougher. Her magic had already shown at a young age. It's not controlled, but wild. So for now, Theo is making a small but comfortable magical band that will keep her magic at bay till she is old enough to start to learn how to control it.

And to Hide it.

Hard at work, little did he know, a little (Y/n) was sneaking up to the workbench beside him. As Theo was putting the final touches on the band. The little (h/c) haired beauty made her way up a work stool, on the top, she jumped onto Theo's head.

"Oi! Careful you little wyvern." Theo says through a hard chuckle.

The little beauty grabbed onto his goggles and put them on herself. To big for her, the goggles slipped down her face as she gives a small laugh and a toothy grin. Theo puts the band on her wrist as he removes the goggles from her face.

"I'll teach you all of my ways...along with your parents'." Theo mumbles the last part.

Theo starts to tickle the young girl as she laughs, little did she know her family's crest was carved into the leather of the band.

"You'll know soon little one."

9 Years Later

"Ugh! Why can't I control it?!" a 12 year old (y/n) proclaims.

"Calm. You're just as wild and impatient as a baby wyvern. You'll learn in due time." Theo says.

"I've been practicing everyday though since I was 10 years old, Papa Snow. That's 2 whole years!"

"Yes, I know. 2 long successful years, but you must understand that your abilities are special and more complex than others and will take more patience and control than others. More dangerous...that's also why you must keep it a secret and hidden away. You know this little one."

"Yes...your right, like always. But the...the...abuse and harassment is getting worse Papa Snow..."

The young girl sits down at her own personal workbench and lays her head down upon her arms. Theo sighs and get up from his workbench and gives a warm embrace to the poor girl.

"I know dear, but you must stay strong. Soon, you'll be able to control your power. But you can never let anyone know of it I'm afraid. You are the only one with this gift, but I'll teach you much more. I'll teach you to human ways that can protect you if something ever were to happen."

"What kind of skills?"

"Hand to hand combat for fighting off enemies without revealing your abilities. I'll teach you how to blacksmith and create like I do and much more. These skills can help you presently and in the future."

"Papa Snow? Will I ever be able to reveal my true magic?"

"Maybe...but for now, you must keep it hidden. People will use your abilities for their own needs that will not turn out so well. Trust me little one for I've seen it happen before."

"I trust you."

(Y/n) gave a smile as Theo returns the gesture.

'Just like her mother and father.' Theo thought.
