An Elf Called Fatry

Training and Puzzle Pieces

"Great job as usual, Langris," Ledior said before turning to Finral. "Alright, Finral. Let's see that knew spell."

"O-okay," Finral replied turning away from his Father and holding up a hand. "Spacial Magic: Fallen Angel's Gate."

"Fallen Angel, huh?" Liliane said sitting down next to her husband. "Fit's a noble with his weak magic rather well, don't you think, Dear? What a useless fool."

"Perhaps. But as for right now, we need to give him a chance to see if he can gain stronger spells, ones that actually attack."

"Aren't you setting your expectations a little high, Dear? If his base magic can't attack like Langris' then what's the use of giving him a chance?"

"I have no expectations for him, Liliane. He just needs to think he's actually getting a chance, so I'm giving him one. If he doesn't come up with better magic by September there's no way he'll become a Magic Knight which means there's no way he'll ever be fit to lead House Vaude."

"We all know Langris is going to be head of the house so I don't know why you're putting so much effort into this."

"I know that... but I still have to give Finral a fare chance... or at least as fare as I can... and try to remain neutral.... It's what his mother would have wanted."

"Please don't speak of that... that despicable...."

"Father!" Finral called, interrupting Liliane.

"What is it Finral?"

"Come look!"

"Ledior! I'm still talking!" Liliane said when he stood to see what Finral wanted him to see.

"I'm busy right now Liliane. I need to focus on the boys' training."

"Come on, Father!" Finral said shoving Ledior to the portal and positioning him so that one half of his body was on each side of it.

"See! You're in two places at once! I can take the family anywhere they want to go now!"

"Yes.... But there are a lot of Spacial Mages who can do that. And only one of them is in House Vaude."

Finral's smile faded as he turned his gaze to the ground, "... right...."

"How about we go for a flight tomorrow so you can mark some locations with your mana. That way we can get some real training done and get you some real spells."

"A-alright...," Finral replied.

That night, Fatry found himself in control of Finral's body once again. He sat up in bed and looked at the clock. It was only ten.

I hope this doesn't make Finral tried in the morning.... I'm not really sure how this works. Is he asleep while I'm awake at night? I need to do some research and figure out how the heck I was even reincarnated," he thought as he crawled out of bed. Not to mention I still need to figure out if anyone else is reincarnated to this point. Patry was the last to die, next to Licht.... And he's always been close to Licht.... So if that devil has a specific Elf to go after.... He walked to the window and opened it. It's sure to be him... because he saw Licht cast that forbidden spell just before he died. So he'll probably think Licht cast the reincarnation spell, if he has been reincarnated as far as I have that is... and try to get revenge... if he's feeling the same malice I felt earlier.

"I can sense all the other Elves' souls...." he said as he continued to work out the puzzle pieces that he aready knew.

It felt like it could have taken over Finral too.... I couldn't hear or see what was going on but I could feel what Finral was feeling and it made me so angry that someone could make someone else feel that way.... But once Finral started feeling my malice.... Something about him calmed it down.... If I could just talk to Finral, maybe he would help.... I can't exactly let people see him looking like an Elf.
