Chapter 25 - The Ark Of The Time Mage (1/2)

When the young girl thought she had located where the annoying brat had been, the voice decided to change position. Leaving the young girl to be a sitting duck for another attack.

”Underestimating me, huh?” asked the voice as it went to kick Mavislin.

Mavislin looked shocked, how could the voice have moved when its Aura did not? She quickly placed her hand to block the kick.

”Helios!” yelled Mavislin as a fireball shot out from her tiny hands.

She was beginning to tucker out, especially after using so many spells at one go. As she began to fall, a pair of scrawny but sturdy arms grasped her on time.

”Your Elemental Aura pool is astoundingly large but you need to work more on your usage of it. Sudden bursts of Elemental Energy is sure to break your little body,” warned the boy, still cradling the small girl.

Her eyes widened as she saw what had caught her. Instead of a monster or another being of sorts, the voice was from a boy. A human-looking boy who had a blue Elemental Aura surrounding him.

”Huh?”

That was the only thing the poor girl could muster as she tried to understand what the boy was saying. The boy sighed and shook his head.

”In simple terms, you bit off more than you can chew. You used too much power at one go,” explained the boy.

To seize the falling girl, he had to reveal himself. A short boy, pimply with jet black hair parting to the side. He kept two small daggers in a holster that was around his waist. He seemed slightly older than Mavislin in terms of appearance, but his actual age was undefined.

”No way... How did you do that?” asked Mavislin, looking at the being.

”Time Element Manipulation,” explained the boy.

The Valkyrie looked very confused. The boy cleared his throat.

”I'm a Time Mage,” said the boy, bluntly.

The young girl was still quite afraid. After all, she had not seen a Time Mage before. Who knows what he could do to her? The thought of that happening freaked the poor child out.

”Hey, I didn't mean to scare you...” said the boy as the Valkyrie shivered slightly in his arms.

The boy gave out bothersome sigh. Why was he always the one to make girls cry? Whether young or old, they all have the same reaction to him. Fear.

”I don't wish to hurt you. Besides, you are a child. Sorry if the earlier encounter was too hostile...” mumbled Raiyen, rubbing the back his head.
