The Arks

Chapter 7

"Why is the Angry Man upset now? Are you jealous, Dark Mage?" taunted Gillian, holding up his spoon and wiggling at Baldwin.

"I"m not! Besides, Time Mages spells trouble for anyone near them. I highly doubt that he can stay," reasoned Baldwin, looking away. Young Mavislin merely shrugged and continued to eat.

"Time is not the only thing I possess. I am born with the Element, but it doesn"t mean I"m unable to perform other Elements," said Raiyen, staring at Baldwin.

"A Time Mage is still what it is," retorted Baldwin. Gillian gave a glare.

"You"re one to talk, Dark Mage," replied Raiyen, rolling his eyes. Baldwin was taken aback, how dare he mention such a thing?

"I dare you to repeat what you"ve just said," growled Baldwin. His Aura began to grow, darkness seeping around him. Raiyen stood up, glaring at him in reply. Through the two males fierce gazes, Mavislin had noticed that Raiyen"s Aura was beginning to show.

"Dark Mages are even more dangerous than us Time Mages, so who are you to talk to me like that?" answered Raiyen, as his Aura slowly came into fruition. Instead of the usual solid colors, like Baldwin"s dark purple Aura, Raiyen"s Aura was both green and blue. More accurately, the left side of him was green while the right side was blue. Gillian mumbled a word of praise to the Time Mage and made Mavislin smile by giving her an eyeball to eat.

"No Elements on the dining table!" shouted Ysabeau, upset at the two buffoons emitting Auras. Raiyen was frozen stiff as he had not expected Ysabeau to shout unpredictably. The poor shaken thing slumped back down onto his seat.

"Sorry about Baldwin"s behavior, young lad. What"s your name?" asked Gillian, turning to look at Raiyen.

"Raiyen," replied the boy who had a piece lamb in his mouth. Just then, Mavislin nudged Raiyen"s side.

"Want one?" asked Mavislin, holding out an eyeball using a fork. His face replied with disgust. Seeing Mavislin was getting upset, he quickly engulfed the piece of a body part that Mavislin held out. The squishy thing exploded within the confines of his mouth. It was rather comical to witness Raiyen trying to eat the eyeball. Mavislin giggled as Raiyen weakly gave a thumbs-up before pa.s.sing out.

"I apologize for having to go through that. She might seem mature, but she"s just a child in terms of her kind. She doesn"t know that a normal human body can"t handle certain parts of food," explained Gillian, sitting on a chair beside the awoken boy.

"I"m no normal human either," replied the Time Mage, steadying himself up. He looked around the room in wonder. The room, it felt odd. It did not strike him as one of the owners" rooms. In fact, it felt like it was his own room. It was simple, not many items in it. A chair, a bed, and a small closet. In the middle was a huge empty s.p.a.ce. The ceiling and floor were blue while the walls were green, reflecting on his own Aura.


"Yea, but your body is still that of a human. Mavislin has the body of a Valkyrie, her body is way stronger than any of us. Probably was fed with blood instead of milk as an infant."

"Oh please, we"re not that terrifying. Our bodies are stronger, but we don"t drink blook as infants..." murmured Mavislin, coming in the room.

"We start eating meat, we don"t have any liquids to start at birth," replied Mavislin, sitting beside Raiyen.

"So, you mentioned about having other Elements as well. Was that the cause of the dual colors in your Aura from earlier?" asked Mavislin, tilting her head to the side.

"We are only a handful nowadays since the Congregation is down," replied Raiyen. His left and right hands then lit up in his Aura"s colors. Mavislin gazed at his hands in wonder. She"d knew how to wield the Core Elements but never the ones she was looking at right now.

"It"s not the Earth Element, it"s called Nature. I use that to be smooth with his movements, no matters where I am. Whenever I"m forced to be underwater, I would be able to manipulate my surroundings to my advantage," explained Raiyen.

"Accordingly, is he capable of growing a tree?" asked Gillian. Mavislin stifled a laugh, in which she failed miserably.

"Not all users of Nature Magic must cultivate a tree be that Element Holder. I use Nature Element to notice my surroundings and adapt to it to my will to carry out my daily tasks. In a way, I can utilize all Elements as well, but in strict conditions," explained Raiyen, rolling his eyes.

"So what is the blue for?" asked Mavislin, playfully grabbing onto the glowing blue hand. This resulted in a little shock through her body.

"Electric, I presume," said Mavislin, appearing unharmed after the shock.

"A Triplet Holder?"

"Yea. Time and Electric are my favorites but I do use Nature sometimes. I guess I use it for when I need it the most, not really my first choice of Element to go with," explained Raiyen.

"A great skill set, fit for a spy…" pondered Gillian. Never knew it would be a reality.
