I spent the next three years getting stronger, faster and mediating. We moved into Cedric’s old house and my mother Mary took over as the Mage of the village. The house is three time the size of our last house and has a wood roof so we don't have to replace it every year. A couple also moved into our old house. They had been waiting for the fall to build one so that they would have straw for it but he moved which allowed them to take the house for themselves. They knew my pretty well so she gave it to them for free. Sophia visits me everyday but I don't do anything exiting anymore to avoid the attention it draws. I take daily walks in a different field everyday to get the pests out using FEAR surprisingly he wasn't got fat from all the rats/raccoons/mice/rabbits and other omnivores and herbivores he eats. Many of the villagers like me because of this. Many times I have been called “The Goddess of Harvests Servant.” While FEAR hasn't gotten bigger his skin is incredibly hard. From what codex says its almost on par with a dragons scales but since he is going to make it hard enough to withstand dragon flames it has a lot more to go as dragon fire can melt dragon scales. I delayed talking until the age of 2 to flaunt expectations of me being a genius. Me and Codex tried many experiments that were not completed in the books he absorbed since I could already read when my mom gave me a book for my third birthday I simply wrote that on piece of paper that the book was to simple for me. Surprised by this my mother looked really pained that the book hadn't been a good gift. So what I did was ask her if she could teach me Magic. She readily said “no” but then I asked her if it could be my present. I know terrible crushing my mothers emotions so hurtfully and then using them against her was bad but I couldn't safely use magic with codex as I always ended up overextending myself. So starting three months ago I had started learning magic.

Every six months Elaine comes to visit to touch my ears. She hasn't aged all to much its at the point where codex measured that we will be ten years old at around the same time if I don't start extending my lifespan. Every time Sophia was saved me from spending the whole time in the house having my ears touched by Elaine. The other village kids view me as Godlike as I have a dog sized lizard that follows me, an elf princess that visits me and the cutest girl in the village follows me around. I mean I am awesome right? Using my skills from my previous life I am able to easily avoid the other village kids who practically worship me. Codex also explained to me that it would be too much of a pain to explain my stats to me as the math calculations would be incredibly hard to keep doing so he is going to tell me when I turn 5, 10 and 15 years old. The last 6 days me and Codex have been working on trying to find a lab for us to work on to start our next experiment. And that where our story starts again.

“hey codex what about the library below us?”

“It collapsed in on itself once you removed all the books and left.”

“well the forest is a no-go do you think my mother has any maps?”

“probably not but she did say she was leaving for a week to talk to the council of mages and hand her report into the duke of the area.”

“ya and doesn't she have to do something else the week after?”

“yes she was to mediate between an elf and human hunting rights in parts of the forest west of here with another elf mediator from the other side of the forest.”

“I feel like there was something else...”

i then heard my mother call me from the other room

“Charles come here there is someone here to meet you♪♪”

Who the hell could it be if she sounds happy to introduce us?

I walk into the kitchen to see a man dressed in complete black and has an eye patch over his right eye. He has a crow on his right shoulder. He was jet black hair like mine and black dog ears to go with it. Once I enter we intently stare at each other. You can feel the tension in the room its overbearing and heavy almost as if were underwater. Then the door burst open and Elaine her father and Sophia walk in with FEAR in tow. The three rush me as FEAR wants to talk a walk, Elaine wants to touch my ears and Sophia simply wants my attention. They take three steps in the room and I haven't even bothered to look at them yet. Elaine's Father isn't good with this kind of situation and only makes the air even harder to breathe in as I’m nervous when I’m near him. No one talks and every minute feels like an hour. It seems that the man in black and The King of the Elves know each as they also look at each other. Seeing this we have seemed to have formed a perfect triangle with each of us having an eye on the other 2. leaving a tense situation and letting everyone else deal with it seems like a great tactic at this point. So i sprint for the door saying

“were playing tag you three have to catch me!”

I know that's not how you play tag but I want them out of the house. We leave and I run to the nearest field that my mother told me was rat infested. We play for many hours no one was able to catch me. When i was time for supper i simply let all of them catch me letting FEAR catch me first as he wouldn’t brag. We walked into the house everyone exhausted expect for me as I trained on the daily for this. The other three entered before me and when i entered it felt like i was in a swamp it was hard to breathe. Both Elaine's father and the man my mom wanted to introduce me to were in the room. Seeing them both look at me i spoke telepathically to both of them as I didn't want my mother to here this.

“what the fuck you looking at no one can breathe expect for us”

The room almost instantly become much lighter as all three of us relaxed. While surprise showed across the elf kings face and the man my introduced. They quickly recovered. FEAR sat at my legs and I stood on top of him I then spoke from my podium which made me about 3/4 of the other 2 heights.

“Mom care to introduce me to your friend?”

before my mother can reply the man with the crow says

“I am your Father Charles I am to look after you for until your mother gets back from her trip.”

I have to contain my laughter because of the star war quote but no one realizes it. I then make the room drop almost drops 10 degrees. Surprise goes across his face when i simply respond

“ok but don't get in my way and I can't cook”

I then walk into my room with the Elaine Sophia and FEAR in tow. Just before the door closes I can hear the last snip-its of a conversation.

“That boy doesn't need my training”

“Henry Silver-Claw i ask one thing out of you and you can't even do it.”

“if you do train him he might end up training you in the arts of concealment”

I was really surprised when the Elf King said that last line. And i was annoyed when i heard the next line.

“his fighting skills however are none existent when he doesn't use magic.”

“how can he use magic? When he was born and i checked he had no mana to speak off!”

the door then closed and I missed the rest of the conversation. The girls were tired so they simply dragged me to the bed to snuggle with me. The whole time Elaine was holding on to my ear and Sophia to my chest.
