The next I awoke in the air yup my “father” had picked me up and was carrying me by the back of my shirt. I looked at my watch 3:01. I shook my head then looked again 3:02. why the hell did he wake me up so early? At least he could have waited till 5 am. When we got to the field directly to the right of the house he said.

“find your way home.”

he didn't move at all he must be trying to test how well I know the area around me after just waking up. I simply walked straight home. I knew where all the pot holes were and which direction home was in. But then I thought how the hell did he just pick me out of bed and leave with me. It would have been so easy to kidnap me and I was disappointed in myself for letting it happen. I went back to sleep knowing that their was nothing I could do. I wake up and its still dark out I look at my watch 4:59. Then I someone enter the room and approach me I know it isn't Sophia or Elaine and it isn't mother as I would recognize her scent I also know its not the Elf King or I would have awoken from the pressure he creates. The person gets closer and closer, so close I can hear there breathing. The person grabs me. I yell

“NOT AGAIN YOU DON'T”

using magic I create a fireball and hit the person Square in the face. They some how manage to deflect it and then they rush out of the room which is now on fire. My mother did teach me water ball but its a relatively weak magic so I have to fire a huge amount of them to put out the fires. This makes me quite tired as it requires most of my mana to put out the fire. Thinking it was just my “father” I go back to bed grumbling.

“god damn ass-hole of a Father, he should have let me sleep..”

I wake up the next morning at 9 am which is an hour after my usual wake up time. I smell something from the kitchen. I get up with my clothes still on from yesterday. I only have 3 changes of clothing which is a step up from the average two that the villagers have. My father puts a plate of stew in front of me and says

“eat we have more training today”

“so trying to kidnap me twice wasn't enough?”

“twice? And I succeeded”

“no the second time I used Fireball on you”

“umm that wasn't me....”

we just stare at each other and then he says after an awkward minute.

“umm maybe they wanted to steal “the servant of the Goddess of Harvest?” because a lot of the nearby towns are having problems controlling the mice and rat populations nearby. And from what i heard the villagers brag about you quite often.”

“that is possible because our harvest the last three years has been huge compared to the surrounding villages but its FEAR who is doing it not me.”

“who’s FEAR?”

“my lizard”

“You mean the one with really hard scales?”

“dats da one.”

we stop talking and I try the stew. Its the best stew I have ever had the meat and vegetables create the perfect flavour and I clean out the whole entire bowl and say to my Father

“you better teach me how to cook that.”

“okay but its the only thing I can cook. Oh I almost forgot you'll need this for your training.”

He then hands me a ring of pure Black colour and a Ring of Pure white colour. I put them on and fall down. I can also feel the Mana drain from my body. My father grabs his bowl of stew and says.

“those are rings of mana drain and gravity what they effectively due is drain your mana and make the world's gravity effect you 5 times as much.”

I speak to codex telepathically

“will I lose my memories from this?”

“no you access me using life force not Mana so were in the clear. Also what he said wasn't exactly true the white ring absorbs mana yes, but if it absorbs more from you then anyone else it allows you to access all the mana inside of it using it as a storage for mana.”

“ohh how much mana does it need?”

“from you about 3 months worth of your mana why?”

“so I basically can't use Mana for 3 months”

“yes unless your father takes it off you however you can take the gravity one off at any time.”

“how much Mana can it store?”

“if I had to guess about a years worth of your mana however their is a condition that has to be met with the ring.”

“and it is?”

“all the Mana has to used for one spell it doesn't have a limiter so it has to be used all at once or the ring will break.”

“so I could make one supercharged attack all at once?”

“If you did that the world would be destroyed.”

“great... so its useless?”

“no you could have the power of a god for a short time so you could create a law of magic.”

“a law of magic?”

“like Magic can't be used anymore or if creatures aren't born with magic they become still-born or you could summon heroes or if you feel like it you could create a dungeon that bends space and time to fit into a small area.”

“hmmm cool”

the whole time we had the conversation I had been trying to move any part of my body. Now that I had the explanation I put all my efforts into moving myself. I was able to stand but not walk or run so I opted for a very disgraceful method of transportation. Crawling. I felt like crying this was the second time I had been subjugated to being unable to walk and I realized I had taken advantage of it again. My father seeing i can crawl and stand says

“that’s pretty good takes most people an hour to limit themselves to crawling. For today’s and tomorrow's practice you have to walk by the end dusk tomorrow.”

seeing this as a challenge i say

“challenge accepted”

The girls wake up and i crawl out the door with fear behind me. For some reason i wanted to impress my father and so i do leg strength training right away. Using FEAR like a railing i try to walk with him as a balance needless to say i did a lot of face planting today. While i didn't succeed in walking today i did manage to stand for a prolonged period of time.
