Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Episode 105: Itching for Revenge

*Lei*

My eye darted around the hospital room. "I know Kun stayed to look over Sarah and that my parents and Shandian went sightseeing, but where's Yen?"

"She went to get food," Adela responded as she glanced up from her phone.

I pouted. "So food is more important than her brother..."

Iah snickered. "I wonder what you would choose in her position."

"Yen of course! I would just have someone bring me honey chicken."

"I offered to do so, but she said that she rather do it," Nyima said as she sat back down on her chair. "She said she wanted to get you something for when you woke up."

I inched closer to her. "Something?"

The door screeched open. "I'm back! Look who and what I brought with me," Yen yelled.

Walking in front of her was Shandian, nibbling on a pierce of honey chicken.

Behind her were our parents.

Mama ran over to me and hugged me. "Lei, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," I said, hugging her back.

"You sure gave you mom and siblings a scare," Papa said, rubbing the side of his neck.

"Sorry about that."

Papa nudged my little brother forward. "Go on, Shandian."

My kid brother glanced at the box in his hands. He slowly made his way over to Mama and me. "Uh, sorry, Lei... We got you chicken but I ate some on the way back..."

"Ahh, don't worry about it, little bro!" I said, ruffling his blond hair. "Say, are you full? If not then you can have some more."

His electric blue-eyes glistened. "Really?"

"Of course. You'll need as much food as you can get in order to become big and strong! Not to mention to power your magic! Lightning magic takes a lot out of a person."

"What makes you think he'll be a lightning mage?" Yen asked. "He could be a sound mage. Or an earth mage. Perhaps even a water mage like Raul."

"True... but I have a feeling it'll be lightning. His name is 'Shandian' after all!" I said, picking him up.

My kid brother lowered his eyes. "W-will I even be able to use magic?" he asked. "I read that most kids develop their magic by age six... in a few months I'll be six..."

Papa ruffled his hair. "Don't worry too much about it, Shan, it'll manifest when it does. There have been cases of people not awakening their magic until age seven. Some even go beyond that."

"True, I was seven when I awakened mine," Mama said, smiling. "And you know, it's said that late bloomers tend to have special powers."

Shandian smiled slightly. "I hope I can be as cool as all of you!"

"You'll be the coolest one of us all... second to me of course," a voice called out. Standing by the doorway was Kun.

"Kun, aren't you supposed to be with Sarah?" I asked.

"The doctors are conducting some screenings on her. Plus her brother sort of kicked me out. He wanted me to get some rest. So I thought I'll check up on my little brother. Hey, is that honey chicken!"

"Want some?" I asked, glancing at the box in Shandian's hands.

"Really?" Kun said, almost drooling.
