7 Choosing the correct elements. (2/2)
”Magic!” Lucas' eyes shone like two bright stars. Its as if something inconceivable was mentioned to him.
”Yes!” Lilith smiling with equal intensity replied ”This world has the presence of magic, you should have noticed it by now, considering that summoning you from another world is also magic.”
Lucas grinned sheepishly ”Of course! How silly of me. Lets go immediately. It sounds really interesting.”
Of course he knew that magic existed in this world. It was just that they had concealed it completely. He wasn't conscious when he was summoned or healed. It could have easily been advanced technology. Horns could at the end of the day be a genetic mutation. What really gave it away was the subtle clues of medieval age culture all around him and well the king did mention the word ritual.
Lucas came into the room and there were six crystals glittering in front of him.
Light(white), Dark(black), Water(blue), Fire(red), Earth(yellow), Air(green).
”You can only absorb two elements, make sure that your choice matches your affinity.”
Looking at the elemental crystals, Lucas couldn't help but click his tongue. To confirm with his act he should choose explosive elements like fire and light, but this choice should be irreversible.
He raised his arm and held the dark crystal. Soon a black stream enter his brain and he could see all the various possibilities he could achieve if he absorbed the crystal. Smiling to himself he chose to absorb the crystal.
Element- dark
Specialization-shadows/smoke
He was playing a mad character after all, he needn't be restrained by logic.
Then he immediately went for the white crystal.
Element - light
Specialization-mirage (reflection/refraction)
At the end of the day he was a manipulator. He won all wars before they even began. Combat was never his specialty. Smoke and Mirrors, on the other hand were perfect for putting on a show.
Lilith slightly raised her eyebrows at his choice but didn't say anything more.
-----------
In a similar room Martin was presented with a similar choice. Since he was the blue phantom he would have to follow the color scheme while making sure no corners were left unturned.
He chose to absorb the green and blue crystals.
Element-Air
Specialization-Lightning
Element-Water
Specialization-Ice
”Lightning and Ice? Lightning is an extremely violent element and hard to control. Ice on the other hand should be able to help restrain your lightning while assisting speed by reducing friction. Quite an interesting combination. It should help complement your skills.” Freya nodded with approval, feeling a bit more relieved.
