15 Who Saved Us? (2/2)
The cat rolled his eyes, ”Yes, this is how it's done. Now if you're done overreacting, why don't you wake up your friends.”
...
Claude and Harrison were soon woken up. Once they opened their eyes, the both shot up looking around ready to burst into action. Seeing they were safely on the ground, they suddenly looked over to the calm child and cat.
”We're okay?” Claude suddenly asked in confusion.
Harrison nodded while also asking, ”who saved us?”
Greyson scratched his head shyly while shooting a look at Lucius, ”should I tell them about my 7 elements?”
”Yeah, go ahead. It is a little dangerous if people know about your talent, however, as long as you are cautious, there is nothing wrong with letting people know that they should treasure you. There are always sinister people who like to kill people who are more talented than them from jealousy or fear, and the best way to protect yourself is to also allow other powerful people to protect you. Kingdoms always need new talent to help protect their rule. It's better to have the best resources given to you. Why take the hard route of always hiding yourself?”
Greyson nodded inwardly before looking at them, ”actually I was the one who saved you.”
Harrison and Claude both looked to him in shock, ”you did? How did you protect us from falling?”
”Actually, I haven't told either of you, but I am a multi-element magician. I can use 7 and wind is one of them. I saved us by having the wind cushion our fall.”
”Wind, huh. Wait... SEVEN?!” Claude nodded before he suddenly realized the key word in Greyson's confession. Harrison also looked at him in disbelief.
Greyson nodded, ”I can't really prove it because I don't know how to control all of them, though.”
Harrison waved his hand, ”it can easily be proven when we get to the academy. They have a element tester that allows for hidden talent to be revealed. Sometimes children don't know they can use another element in the beginning, so they are tested to see what elements they have affinity towards. If you are telling the truth, this is amazing news! Greyson, even the principal himself might decide to teach you! What an honor! You would definitely be able to improve leaps and bounds with a powerful teacher.”
”Wow, you're so awesome, Greyson! But, hey... your eyes... weren't they blue? I just realized now that they are green.”
”Hm? My eyes? They aren't blue?” Greyson looked confused as he didn't understand. His eyes had always been blue since birth.
”Oh, you're right, Claude. Greyson, your eyes are like an emerald green now. How strange... Could it be since you used wind magic? The first magic you used was water whose element is blue and you just used wind magic whose element is green. I've never heard of multi-element people having their eyes change colors, but maybe it's because you have so many. It could just be a special case, I guess.” Harrison analyzed. Claude and Greyson agreed with his thoughts and also did not think more about it since his eyes changing color does not cause any harm.
”Well, no matter, thanks for saving us Greyson. We should all take this moment to meditate and rest before heading on our way again to the academy. We are about a 2 days ride away now.”
Greyson and Claude complied with his advice and sat down to meditate, while waiting for Harrison to recover so he could summon out Argus.
