Arc II Chapter 11
━━━━━━┛༻❁༺┗━━━━━━
Iris's bad conscience forced her hand. Iris lied to comfort the sad girl. Bending the truth wouldn't hurt. It was for a good purpose.
“Don't be sad, nothing is lost yet.“
“What do you mean by that?“ Aurora recovered her hope. Her purple eyes sparkled once again.
Iris poked the girl's nose. Her ploy succeeded. “Listen, you might be in possession of hidden magic potential. Only the spirits truly know. Magic might very well slumber deep inside you, hidden and without your knowledge.“
Aurora tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand. Or rather, she appeared as if she didn't understand. “I can't follow ...“
Aurora was poked once again. Sister Iris apparently loved poking her cute little nose. Again.
Iris beamed. “With a bit of luck, you might become a little mage. We are living in a world full of aether. Aether surrounds us. Aether is all around us, a force always present. You might not sense its presence, but the land, the water, the air, are breathing aether day and night. As such, traces of mana, traces of magic, reside in all of us, in all living creatures.
What makes us mages special is our gift. Unlike the vast majority, our powers allow us to wield the elements. Our souls harness the power of aether, turning aether to mana, and mana to magic.
So don't give up yet. Outside of nobility, magic usually manifests during early or late puberty. You are as much a mage as was I when I was younger. I only discovered my talents after turning fourteen. The church recognised my latent potential and recruited me into their ranks. Without their assistance, a simple village like me wouldn't stand before you today.“
“...“ Aurora and her doll were listening carefully. Aether .. Nature .. Mana ... Magic ... Nobility ... Puberty ... Church ... Much crucial information to process ...

Aurora looked up to sister Iris. “So you say I might be able to use magic?“
Iris nodded. “It's not impossible ...“ Just extremely unlikely.
“... Tell me, did you already undergo your confirmation?“
“Confirmation?“ Aurora tilted her head in childish ignorance, not having the faintest idea.
Aurora and her doll shook their heads in unison.“Not that ... I know ... Sister Iris, what's even a confirmation? “
Iris chuckled before ruffling Aurora's fluffy hair. “Thought so. Not surprising, though, considering your circumstances. Confirmations are ... a special type of blessing, one of the major sacraments and a ancient custom, administered by the church to adolescent boys and girls. Usually, upon turning twelve.You know what a blessing is, right?“
Aurora nodded. Motivated little Aurora. Confident little Aurora. “I do ... A blessing is when a priest is blessing a person, right?“
...
...
...
“... More or less ... Blessings are a special category of spells. They serve to bestow a form of magic and spiritual protection on the destinatary, but they also react to latent magic potential.“
Aurora tilted her head. “And that means ...“
Iris raised her index finger. “That means you were never checked. If you never received your confirmation, you never received your second due blessing. If you never received your second due blessing, your magic potential was never properly investigated. That means you might posses hidden powers you never knew about.“
“...“ Aurora chose silence. That sounded like a logical conclusion.
Iris beamed. “If you are interested, I can help you to determine your magic aptitude after we return to Freyburg. My spell skills might be rudimentary at best in this department, but they should suffice to perform simple blessing.“
Aurora squealed. Her eyes sparkled. “You would do that?“
Iris nodded. “Of course, sister Iris has a heart for cute little girls.“

Aurora tackled Iris with a hug. Her attack showed little effect, as her weak arms were unable to mustered much strength. “Thank you very much, sister Iris! You are the best!“
Aurora hugged her doll. “Did you hear? We are going to learn magic!“
“We are going to learn magic~.
We are going to learn magic~.“
We are going to learn magic~.“ Aurora bounced along the trail in high spirits. Nothing ruined her impeccable mood.
Iris chuckled. The girl amused her. Her enthusiastic nature left quite an impression, not only on her. The girl lifted everyone's spirit.
Arwing giggled, as even the most stubborn and stone-hearted elf mustered what appeared to be a weak, almost unnoticeable smile.
Nelaeryn smiled. The girl elicited a smile, one he hated from the depth of his heart. Pesky emotions.

Sky Sight
A city of the future. That's what they called Agona; the isolated experiment, built for efficiency and technological integration from the ground up. Cameras and microphones are everywhere, super computers buried beneath the city serve as processors to judge the actions of everyone living within it, dealing out real life karma. For years, peace reigns. The city is the envy of many, a place of prosperity and wealth. Then a number of trains malfunction, being routed through the city's blue external barrier, and the game begins. Gaining positive karma no longer gives discounts on goods, it gives otherworldly abilities, supernatural powers. But gaining negative karma gives those same abilities as well. The barrier surrounding the city becomes charged, turning anyone who wishes to leave into a pile of ash. Forced into the seemingly impossible game of good and evil, the new residents of the city must decide which side they're on or remain helpless.

Skeleton Sovereign?
A lawyer, along with ten thousand other people, is kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon of Decay to participate in a campaign against the Monarch of Everglades. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, has chosen these ten thousand people to be the captains of his 100 man squads, saying that beings of lower realms are easier to boost temporarily. Our lawyer didn’t complain much at that. A generic hero summoned to another world setting, he thought. And as he didn’t have any family or much attachment to his previous world, he even liked his situation. But that was until he found out, that the “Heavenly Demon of Decay” was a necromancer. And that he along with millions of other humans, and various beings, were processed into undead soldiers. ‘Well fuck!’, he thought. And after being equipped with high quality equipment, and being robbed of his free will, he marched, along with billions of other horrifying undead, against the Monarch of the Everglades. But his poor luck didn’t end there. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, and his army lost. But the worst part was, they left him behind while retreating. Now, he is stuck behind in a huge jungle, full of various monsters, where every moment he must struggle for his life. But isn’t he already dead? This thought only serves to incense him further. But that is not all to his story, he finds that he is in a different, more powerful world, where wizards, warriors, dragons, dungeons but most importantly “CULTIVATION” exists. Albeit not very Chinese, but cultivation nonetheless. But, can a skeleton even cultivate? Not a native english speaker. So don't expect impeccable grammar. Although I do try my best, this is also my first novel so pointers are appreciated. Haters, just stop reading if you don't like it. Please don't spoil my mood by evil comments.
