Chapter 184

”If the guy was erased from time, then it would be pure shavist if he was your maker,” said Joseph to the system with a shake of his head . If the dragon could hear the system, then it made no sense for him to think at it .

”It is a possibility . Several of the things he did, or influenced, have happened, even though he never existed . Even the G.o.ds have forgotten about him,” Saisho said .

”Then how do you remember him?” asked Joseph .

”I was here, behind my barrier, before, or during, the time when EMIT was, or will, erase him . Since he never existed to begin with, then EMIT never erased him, either, so it's quite conflicted to even speak of the lost rune master . He was the one who put our origin words into written form . Even though he no longer existed, the origin words remembered their written form . My barrier blocks most divine powers . I did learn a few things being intimate with a G.o.d after all . ”

”Wow . So, the reason you won't teach me the origin word for META, is because I have learned the written form of all of the other runes first?”

”Yes . Dragons speak origin words . We have no use for the runes you use . Likewise, dragons don't study magic . We simply know it . Some are better than others, but it is as much a part of us, as your lungs are to you . We cannot teach you to do magic in the way of dragons any more than you could teach a fish to breathe . How you do magic is quite fascinating to me, child . You calculate so much to do a simple spell, but your magic is still beyond the realm of any being I have met other than my own kind . ”

”Well that's a very depressing compliment,” he said, his shoulders slumping . He had been so hopeful she could teach him something, to find out she couldn't, was disheartening .

She laughed . The rocks and crystals on the ground trembled from it . ”It is a sincere compliment . I have never met a being as close to all of the runes, as you . You seem less their master and more their friend . ”

”Maybe that is what I'm missing to surpa.s.s advanced?” he asked, thinking hard .

”What?” she asked, intrigued .

”Selena's skill level with the FIRE rune is intimate, not mastery . Fire literally takes care of her as her lover, instead of having mastery over the FIRE rune . I think I could see that . Instead of progressing to master of runes, to friend of runes instead . ” He nodded to himself . It explained why he was so good with FOOD .

”I suspect it is the only way to surpa.s.s the lost Rune Master . How you approach the runes is unique . ” She nodded in agreement .

”What do you mean? I've taught others to go to the rune worlds and learn to speak to the runes themselves as well . ”

”Wait, you can take others with you?”

”I learned that from Selena . And Derek has learned it from me . That was one of the reasons he was promoted to the elemental college head over the others . ”

”Hmm . Could you visit this rune world with me?”

Joseph looked at her size and wondered if it would work . She laughed, and suddenly, a young woman was standing before him, wearing a s.h.i.+mmery gown that stretched to the floor . Her skin was flawless, but in the light, he could still see it s.h.i.+mmer, just like the gown .

”Does this help?”
