Chapter 29 - The Ark Of Time And Dark (1/2)

”And who is this?” asked Minwoo, who had finally awoken from his slumber.

Raiyen's ears perked as he gazed at the abnormal human. His mouth, full, could not answer. Minwoo cracked his spine pleased at the rest he had been given. Truly, Baldwin was one hell of an overworking employer. Either that or stamina is not a concern of a Mage.

”It's a new friend that Mavislin made,” replied Ysabeau.

”Did she bite you?” asked Minwoo, looking directly at Raiyen.

”No?” he replied, still stuffing his face.

”Why would she? I don't taste that good...”

”That's not fair...”

”She only bites humans, Minwoo.”

Raiyen looked at Minwoo questioningly. Who was this human and why is he allowed to live with the Mages? It's a miracle on how Minwoo hasn't been eaten by little Mavislin.

”He's not human?!”

Raiyen shook his head. Meanwhile, Mavislin was busy devouring another stag.

”But you seem human enough,” complained Minwoo, starting to eat his meal.

”You look like a Mage as well,” commented Raiyen, shrugging off the matter.

”We look like humans, but it doesn't mean that we are,” explained Gillian.

”But he eats likes a normal human...”

As the boy was eating, Baldwin made a remarkably strong point of being livid at little Mavislin for bringing a boy back home without permission. Gillian, however, was the opposite. He found the young Time Mage to be quite an attractive little guy.

”Why is the Angry Man upset now? Are you wary, Dark Mage?” taunted Gillian, holding up his spoon and wiggling at Baldwin.

”I'm not! On top of that, Time Mages indicates trouble for anyone near them. I sincerely doubt he can stay,” reasoned Baldwin, looking elsewhere.

Young Mavislin merely shrugged and continued to eat. Minwoo looked confused. Since when was Baldwin so overprotective?

”Time is not the exclusive thing I possess. I am born with the Element, but it doesn't mean I'm incapable to perform other Elements,” said Raiyen, staring at Baldwin.

”A Time Mage is, nevertheless, what it is,” retorted Baldwin.

Gillian issued a glare.
