Cazanette - The Birth of Mage-Knights

CHAPTER EIGHT - The Birth of Mage-Knights

Queen Allythycne enjoyed chatting with the boys. She looked for her mother because of sudden disappearance during the ritual. She ran in the corridor and checked out her mother's room.

"Mother, are you the-"

"Nice to meet you, your Highness." I greeted.

"She is a friend of mine. I saw her rose from the riverbank at the backyard when I was taking a walk earlier. She is also friends with those boys." The dowager introduced.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, it is, your Highness. We got separated when I was caught by han gin hebi mushis and that's when and where I met your mother."

"Come on, let's go to the living room." The Queen invited.

After some walks in the marbled-floor-lighted-with-chandeliers corridor, we arrived in front of a wooden arch door. The queen opened the door silently and coached me to walk in silently so that I couldn't be heard by Brix and Reevahn who are taking a nap in opposite couches.

"Shhh... They are tired. Let's start the ceremony at the veranda. The elemental baptism doesn't need words. If my aura is released from my body, concentrate a lot and think that your sword is an extension of your body. Ok?" the queen whispered.

The dowager got the sword she ordered for me and gave it. "I hope you like it."

"Of course I do." I answered with joy

"Shall we start?"

I nodded.

Fronting each other, I held my sword like how reserved officer trainees hold their swords. Queen Allythycne gently closed her eyes and released a white aura. The tentacles of the aura approached me but it seemed they can't. The Queen closed her eyes harder but still the aura can't reach me. Suddenly, it became calm and stayed in its place while trying to suck out the elemental energy inside me. I can feel my body became warm then became hot. Suddenly, a blazing aura was released from my body. Because of the sudden aggression of the element, it throws the Queen and her aura. The Queen looked surprised and had a blank stare expression on her face. I have no idea what is going on. The elemental aura from my body was mixed from the invisible shield that covers me. It emanated to the sword that I am holding while the sword slowly looked like lava then melted into light. The melted sword suddenly entered the gem on my right shoulder.

I quickly run towards the queen to check if she is alright. Brix and Reevahn woke up from the noise. They were surprised with my presence. Before they ran to me, the queen said,

"I have never seen an aura like yours before. You are also the first person, whom his/her weapon is elementally baptized, to have a very strong bielemental aura."

"Bielemental aura?" We asked in chorus.

"Yes. The shield that protected you is the earth element which is already released in your body and the fire element is hidden in your body. It is like a core power of heavenly bodies that my mother told me."

"I don't know how I became bielemental"

"I gave you earth energy so you can easily protect us."

"Nymph Theta?" I was surprised to hear her voice so I looked where the voice came from. I checked the veranda where the river can be seen.
