103 Chapter 103 Child Of Prophecy (2/2)
Stella shrugged and gave an evil giggle. Joseph's mouth dropped open. Wow, her evil villain chuckle was way better than his. He wasn't even mad. He was too impressed.
”You are ridiculously good at that.”
”Thank you. Now about your question, that is actually one of the easier to believe rumors.”
”Rumors?”
”Yes, there are several, including: blessed by the G.o.d, or G.o.ds, of magic, which is actually true ironically, trained by elven tutors in magic lost to humans, actually being a half elf, several theories have started springing up about the child of prophecy.”
”How did that happen?”
Stella laughed.
”Your original disciples talked of your marvelous knowledge and how you do magic fundamentally different than any of their old teachers. Derek and Stephan both experienced mage trances, Stephan two of them. Several of the things you take for granted, like making visible mana emit from you, is considered an extremely rare talent that only master mages have. It's only gotten worse as those you taught become more and more powerful.
”Now that the mages are traveling with the shamans, they ended up talking to each other, which they wouldn't normally do. Apparently at the basic level that you are teaching, the similarities are amazing, when they were always taught that the differences between how they did magic couldn't be breached.
”Then one of them mentioned how we killed that thing in the north and the mages were like so he killed a monster? The other shamans all jumped in with the child of prophecy destroyed a fallen G.o.d and he is only seven. Soon he shall befriend a dragon. Dragons aren't real. Are you sure there aren't dragons anywhere? Well, no, but n.o.body has seen them in a thousand years. Yes, and this fallen G.o.d, the boy destroyed, was so powerful all the elders could do was seal it away because it couldn't be destroyed, and yet he did it. Something had to go and release it, because the seal was so strong it was meant to never be broken from the other side, because that creature would destroy the world if released.
”So, the mages have a huge love of prophecy and the shamans have a huge love of talking about prophecy, so they continued. One prophecy concerns you and the elves.”
”Why didn't Tekaun mention that one?” he asked, shaking his head at the whole thing.
”Well, it's only half a prophecy. The prophetess died in the middle of speaking it. Apparently, they have dozens of prophecies about this Child of Prophecy. So many in fact, that the barbarians have debated for generations how many children would be needed to fulfill the prophecies. The mages said that n.o.body ever visits the elves, and then another said, well, his dad is the only human they talk to, so they shut up.”
She smiled.
”You enjoyed it didn't you?” he asked.
”Extremely.”
”You instigated some of it, didn't you?”
”Maybe.”
It's a good thing she had a cute smile.
