Well, the punishment weren't so bad as you thought it would be, maybe because you explained that you saved a monster and that's why you were late. Alwaid at first looked at you suspiciously, you tended to make excuses to free yourself of punishment but this time the anger in your eyes while you talked there was no doubt in her mind. But it amuses her sometimes how you talk about not wanting to die when you're late. She wasn't going to kill you!
But she was going to make you beg her to kill you.
''One... two...three'' Alwaid said keeping track of how many times you flexed your arms while being upside down on top of the roof's temple. It was a punishment, but not the worse you've had. Being a mage has its perks, your body was much more resistant and strong than a human's, even being a kid. But yeah, not exactly the best way to train a kid but hey gotta learn somehow, right?
Right?
''Can I take a break, please?'' You yelled a bit nasally. After all you couldn't be upside down and talk normally with all that blood making pressure in your brain...talking about pressure...this is starting to make you a bit dizzy.
''How many times have you flexed? Did you keep track of all of them?'' She asked while she watched you from bellow, in the precious, safe floor.
''A few times..?'' You offered hesitantly. You thought she was keeping track! Not you!
''How many times exactly?'' She hissed, her neck hurting of watching up for so long. But what about you? Your arms, legs and spine hurt for being forced to keep the balance for so long without mentioning that your brain was going to burst out if it keeps pounding like that.
''S-sixty?'' You closed your eyes tightly trying to focus on not falling off the roof rather than the crushing feeling of your skull. ''I-I can't do...do much lon-longer!'' Your arms started to shake slightly making it much more difficult to grab a solid hold on the top of the roof, the sweat on your palms almost making you slip. ''Please, please, please'' You begged desperately shaking your head.
Taking pity on your suffering form, she sighed and said ''Alright, that's enough.''
Almost sobbing on relief you opened your eyes, your spine arching towards your stomach making your feet touch the roof. A bit shakily you removed your hands off the roof tile as you stood as straight as you could with your back aching in pain.
''Get down here, there's something I wanna give you'' Being the kid you were you couldn't help but get excited at the sound of receiving something. Running all the way down the roof you jumped in the edge of it crouching when your feet touched the floor to absorb the impact. Still a bit weak from the punishment you tried to get up swaying a bit in the process.
''Come with me, little one'' She said before turning and heading towards the temple. The temple itself was big, but the inside were pretty hollow, besides a basin of fresh water that were too tall for you to reach, a few candles, a big mirror that was the first thing you saw whenever you entered and a few gems that floated around the place that you never understood their purpose no matter how much you asked.
Silently you followed her towards the basin of water and watched how she sinks her hand in the basin. ''Soo...What did you wanted to give me?'' You asked curiously with your arms behind your back. She looked at you and pulled her hand out of the basin holding a gray tear-shaped gem that glowed gently in her hand, letting it fall off her hand to show the string it had attached. She offered it to you and you excitedly took it into your hands.
The crystal of the gem was cold and wet in your palms, but you didn't notice it because when you touched the gem it started to glow a beautiful ruby color. She giggled gently at your amazed expression and patted your head to get your attention. You very slowly moved your head towards her but your eyes never leaving the red precious stone but after a few seconds your eyes locked with hers.
