Chapter 24 - 24: “Did I Missed Something? (1/2)
Themis Array Formation is a sophisticated spell. Eight casters from prestigious elemental families gathered to help create the formation.
A beautiful girl in a white cloak is leading the arrangement. She is combining the seven elements to form one, strong magic, and weaving it as the Themis Array Formation...
Little Eu can replicate the Themis Array Formation. She has mastered the seven-layered elemental spell, and it shouldn't pose any problems to her. Unfortunately, it does...
'Why is it failing? I already understood everything. The precision, the movement… Why?! It can't be possibly my fault.'
She never felt so frustrated before as she starts silently cursing whoever made such a complicated spell. After following every step, how can she still fail to build it?
Elder Teacher Levi is there witnessing his little genius student failed. Still, he believes that Little Eu will succeed. If she can't manage to replicate it, no one can.
”Again!!!” the Grand Elder shouted after she failed.
The Grand Elder's voice echoes around the halls and reprimanding her again. She doesn't know how many times she failed these past few days as she grits her teeth.
'I can't believe this! This is strenuous beyond imagination...!'
Little Eu is casting elemental spells, at the same time, carefully weaving it to merge it as one powerful magic. She closes her eye as she figures out her mistake.
She has grasped all the concepts on how to make it work. It just that she continues failing to put the whole idea into fruition.
”Little Eu, you have to clear your mind. You are obviously distracted…” Di'Anon said as he brings her a glass of water.
She opens her eyes and knits her brows as she gave it a thought, 'Distracted…?'
Little Eu recalls last night's incident. She honestly can't understand because it can't possibly be a memory.
Oracles don't have past lives. She and the Divine Lord can't possible acquainted with each other. Yet what does it mean?
She decided to forgo her thoughts and started to concentrate. She needs to accomplish this and help the Holy Guardian Lord Vermilion save Lord Turtle.
”Grand Elder. Let's take a break. I need to do something before we commence. I won't fail you after.” she said.
She quickly disappeared as soon as she aired her thoughts. The elders didn't even have time to respond.
The Grand Elder can only scratch his head as he watches her disappear. He is curious about what Di'Anon said that made her left.
”Grand Elder, the Little Eu is having a tough time. You should be more gentle…” Elder Levi approaches him in concern.
”I shouldn't be lenient just because she is having a difficult time, or she is my granddaughter! You are spoiling her too much, Levi.” the Grand Elder coldly responded as he glares at him.
'I'm spoiling her? It's not my fault that she already knows the lessons beforehand. How could it be considered 'spoiling?' What else do you want me to teach? She knows more than I do.' he truly intends to refute and air his grievances but holds his tongue.
Meanwhile, clothed in a heavy dark cloak and concealing her identity, on top of the highest treetop nearby. The young girl is somewhere that she can oversee the Inner Courts.
She found peace as she looks around and beyond this place. She closes her eyes and feels the wind, hears the singing birds, howling beasts, voices of everyone, and dancing leaves.
She raises her hand and cast the seven-layered elemental spell as wide as she could. The heavens formed thick dark clouds that startled everyone in Inner Courts.
Everyone thought that sudden changes were a bad omen. They won't be surprised if it is. Much to their surprise, the familiar lights appeared.
Inner Courts witnesses the spectacular light show. It looks like an aurora borealis. It is simply magical and breathtaking.
Anyone familiar with the spell can recognize its unique shimmering glow. They can't mistake it for anything else, but there is a distinct difference too. The spell doesn't intend to hurt anyone.
It lasted for a long time before it turned as glittering and colorful specks of dust. The sun reappears and creates such a beautiful marvel of sparkling event.
Meanwhile, Captain Jairu is doing his rounds in the courtyard when he saw the beautiful spectacle. He finally felt relieved to know the whereabouts of this Little girl.
He has been worried those past few weeks as he readies his explanation once the Divine Lord sudden shows up. Knowing her whereabouts has given him so much relief. At least he knew the Divine Lord wouldn't torture him from not knowing.
Captain Jairu can assume that Little Eu is currently staying at the Oracle Village. He concludes that the girl is traveling a lot and probably couldn't update him.
”That little girl sure loves to be conspicuous. That light show sure is spectacular. I won't see a better scene anywhere in Astra...” Presea chuckled.
