Chapter 46 - 43: Strange Mana (1/2)

The group soon stepped in the cave, Allen leading the way Collin at the back casted an Illumination spell that summoned a small ball of light that floated atop of his head effectively lightening the area surrounding them. Lana next to him had her bow drawn as a red arrow made of mana was there waiting for her to release it.

Laura examined the dark cave as they walked, the walls were smooth, no cracks were on the wall nor was there any type of rocks or anything, the whole cave seemed to be a man-made one not one formed naturally. She closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them they were once again glowing, the cave that was as dark as night suddenly brightened in her eyes as the strands of mana flowed through the air.

As she observed the mana as they walked deeper she could see the different strands, the blue water mana, the red fire strands mana, all types of strands were floating in the air but there was one color that seemed to exist more then the rest, a purple color.

The small strands of purple Mana seemed to seep out of the walls of the cave itself, she watched as a small strand came from the wall and slowly floated in the air and got absorbed by Allen who didn't seem to notice anything.

Laura was shocked at this discovery as usually strands of mana tended to avoid people unless one could will it to his body and use said strands to summon their power, a fire mage is more efficient in summoning fire strands towards their body a water mage is more efficient in summoning water ones.

That's how different type of mages came to be, as a person could not be talented with all types of mana. But this particular type of purple Mana seemed to defy logic as it floated towards their bodies on it's own some even flew towards her own.

She turned her head to Collin the mage of the party, he seemed confused as he looked back at her and asked ”Do you also feel it?”

”I can see it.” She replied, he looked at her his mouth wide open in shock, Allen stopped walking and turned back to look at them confused, Lana also stopping ”What happened?” She asked

Collin seeming to overcome his shock shook his head before speaking ”Laura, can see the mana strands.”

Lana turned her head towards her in shock as the admiration in her gaze seemed to grow, Allen on the other hand looked confused as he asked ”I know mages can feel the mana but is seing it really that big of a deal?”

Collin and Lana both turned to look at him at the same time ”Are you stupid? I mean I knew floppy ears over here was a bit dumb but you Allen. Tsk tsk” said Collin shaking his head in feigned disappointment, Lana just rolled her eyes at him and said ”Don't mind the idiot, to make it simple mages can only feel the mana in the air, they have no idea how it looks like no the general knowledge amongst mages was that it had no shape nor color. Now Laura over here can see it! Do you have any idea how groundbreaking this discovery can be to mages? The things she can see are ones mages all over Eflore would kill to see, it would help them boost their understanding of mana even more!”

Allen just scratched his head and nodded, Collin on the other hand went straight to Laura and held her hand and started to question her. ”So?? How does it look like?? Are there really different strands flying around?? Is the color the same?? and and—” before he could finish however Lana came and pulled him back by his color ”Move away from her, did you see the look on your face god.”
