A New Light

Chapter 4

Closing up the book, I put it back into its place using wind magic. Using magic is actually very easy, it is the visualization that controls everything. And if you're like me and can visualize the compounds too, then that is just a bonus that makes the magic stronger.

Hearing my maids freaking out, I realize that I stayed a little bit over 3 hours. Not wanting my parents to get involved, I quickly left the library and tried to stealthily get back to my room. Sneaking past the maids in the hallway, I then run for it. When I feel a woman pick me up, I know I'm done for. Closing my eyes I wait for my harsh scolding and threats to come.

" Ahh, you had me so worried! I thought you were kidnapped!... Where were you?" She looked like she was on the verge of tears.

" I wad in de wibeary, weading!" After I said that I instantly felt shame. I was one year old already, but my pronunciation is still so slurred.

"Ahhh, come quickly Charles! Our little girl is so smart! She was reading! Books!" She made it sound so amazing, what else could you read if not books?

My father's face suddenly appeared in front of me, showing a tearful face. Have I disappointed him with my slow learning skills? " Wahhhh! She was supposed to learn how to read from me though! Did you cheat Liyla? Did you teach her?"

Deciding to stop my fathers crying, I step in and tell him I learned it myself. For good measure I also whisper to him," I will play with papa for the rest of today."

He suddenly sucked back in all his tears and started taunting mother. " HAH! Did you hear that! I will be having Aliria all to myself, for 8 hours and 47 minutes"

Mother, had a look of realization on her face before glaring at father and slowly walking away." Tch, that little.... always doing....and......hmph!"

The next day, I barged into father's office and gave the cutest face I could," Will you guive
mue a teater to wearn? I pwomise to fish my shpeaking!"

Father started at my face with no emotion for a full 10 seconds before shouting,"Aww, my little girl wants to learn. Of course, anything you want I'll give to you!" He spoke with such a pampering voice, it was as if he were talking to a baby... Oh yeah...I am one.

"I know just the person to teach you. He is quite skilled all around:magic, martial arts, history, math, magic theories, all that stuff. But of course he is not as good as your Papa!"

"Ob course Papa! Tank you!"
I'm sorry, I just wanted a tutor so that what I am learning would be justified. I already know how to speak properly.
