Chapter 2 - Would You Like To Train Under Our Wing? (2/2)

”And whose fault was that?!”

”You were the one who unleashed the Demonic Wings.”

By the third whack, the young girl was trying to hold back her laughter. Despite how they were being portrayed, they were nothing but newlyweds at heart. As the couple finally focused once more, the young girl was able to unleash the most powerful spell within her arsenal.

One that was strong enough to strain her Elemental Endurance but not enough to completely drain the hapless girl's Elemental Energy. With a deep breath, the young girl gathered up her strength and unleashed a taste of the power she had within her being.

”Coeli Rotam; Die Iudicii. (Heaven's Wheel; On the day of judgment),” she chanted, glowing bright with golden light.

Two immense circles appeared; above and underneath the whole hall. The circles started spinning rapidly, absorbing streams of Light Elemental Energy within the area. With arrows coming from both circles, an enormous pillar of light and flash left Gillian and Ysabeau impressed.

Gillian gave a contented smile as he clapped. The young girl's eyes lit up in happiness.

”I had a hunch, but I couldn't know for sure. It has been a long time since I've encountered one of your kind. Years, perhaps. Tell me, young one, what is your name?” asked Gillian.

The young girl smiled and went towards the couple.

”My name's Mavislin Roydon,” introduced the cheerful young girl.

Ysabeau next crouched to the young girl's level.

”Would you like to train under our wing?”

Mavislin was taken aback, was she hearing things? Two great Mages were proposing her to be their disciple? It wasn't even an order; it was an invitation. The girl showed trepidation as she tried gathering her muddled thoughts.

”Are there other students under your expertise?” asked Mavislin, seemingly unsure of her own words.

The two shook their heads, further increasing Mavislin's nervousness. With a deep breath, she narrowed her eyes and allowed her mouth to execute the agreement.

”Great! I'll be by your side when in training to make sure this demon doesn't steer you to an early grave,” said Ysabeau, giving a slap on the back of the unfortunate husband.

”Why are you so violent, woman?!”

”Why are you so terrifying, man?!”

Mavislin found it difficult to stifle her laugh as the two continued to bicker. A shadow captivated the attention of the young girl, but she decided not to pay any heed to it.
