" Yes..." Serpent said.
"Woah! Raliz I've gotta tell you, having a pet is also great. Well, it's good to have a spirit but handling two spirits in your body will be strenuous." Serpent added.
" Why?" Raliz asked.
" Ugh! It's because us spirits also need our owner's body to live. If the body of the host is not strong enough to handle our power, it will make the owner explode. Now you want it?" Serpent explained hard.
The truth is Serpent don't want Raliz to have a new spirit because it might change Raliz's attention. Serpent was scared that Raliz would love the Thunder Phoenix more.
But what Serpent said was true, though.
In her state carrying two spirits is quite hard but she could totally handle it. Having a spirit means having its power. The more powers that are stored in a body, the more complicated it is to control, making the body overwhelmed with power and explode.
Raliz believed Serpent. She also knew what Serpent's intention is. Raliz just smiled at Serpent.
After that having that generous amount of Spirit Energies, her body was energized. She picked up Vanessa who was on the ground, looking cold.
Raliz put Vanessa on her back just like giving someone a piggy back ride and then she ran very fast.
She reached a giant dead tree. The tree was devoid of leaves but on top of it was a nest.
Raliz jumped from branch to branch until she reached the top. The nest was very huge as well as the eggs inside it.
Raliz touched the egg on her right. Then, the egg's yellow markings glowed in yellow and exuded little lightning.
Raliz's shoulder began to glow too and she felt that tingling sensation again. Raliz touched her shoulder and found a mark.
" What's this? Serpent, what's this in my shoulder?" She asked.
" That's the seal that the Thunder Phoenix gave you. So that her baby would recognize its new Master." Serpent said.
Raliz nodded.
" Also, There's one thing you need to know about these eggs."
" What?" She asked.
" There is only one chick. The other one is a decoy or more like a bomb. So you better be careful of choosing the right egg." Serpent said with a smile.
Raliz faced Serpent with discontent.
She touched the other egg on the left and the egg glowed.
Not just the markings of the egg gleamed with yellow light but also the whole egg itself.
Raliz felt a force in the second egg. But it was different. It was not power or thing but it was life.
She felt life in the egg.
Then, she decided to take the second egg. She lifted the egg but it was very heavy. She felt like she was lifting thousands of boulders all together.
Raliz held her gem. She touched the egg then suddenly the egg disappeared. The gem absorbed the egg and put it in the Space Storage.
Raliz was glad that she got the right egg. Her face showed blooming happiness.
" Good thing you've chosen the right one. Lifting the wrong one would be a disaster." Serpent said.
" Wow! This egg is very heavy!" Vanessa said while lifting the other egg.
What?!
Raliz and Serpent face became green.
" Vanessa put it down!" Raliz and Serpent screamed immediately at Vanessa.
" Why..." Before she asked the question, cracks began to appear in the shell.
Raliz acted fast. She pushed Vanessa out of the nest and she fell down. Raliz faced the egg and then...
Boom!
Spark!
Crackle!
The egg exploded along with Raliz.
The tree was incinerated and turned into ashes. In fact everything that the Lightning touched turned into ashes.
...
Vanessa took out something in her Eternal Space Pouch. A broom appeared. The broom caught Vanessa and she arrived safely on the ground.
An explosion happened a top of her. She looked worried.
" Raliz..."
...
Spark!
Crackle!
Lightning and Electricity surrounded Raliz in the air charring her.
Then suddenly, Serpent transformed itself into a giant leaf and covered Raliz's whole body.
Half of Raliz's face was charred as well as her lower body. Raliz was unconscious.
The leaf radiated Raliz's body in Green light then Raliz's body turned back to normal.
Lightning and Electricity are still in the air covering the leaf.
Raliz opened her eyes then suddenly an announcement rang in her head.
" You've discovered your unique skill. [ Adaptation ]."
Raliz's face was in awe. Along with it was confusion. She didn't know what's a unique skill and her discovered new skill.
Once again, the announcement rang in her head again.
" Activating [ Adaptation ]... Adaptation complete. Element Adaptation: Electric, Lightning and Thunder adapted."
Electricity and Lightning passed through the leaf that's covering Raliz. Her body absorbed all the Elements and her body sparked.
She felt power roaming in her blood.
" Obtained new elements. Thunder, Lightning, Electricity. New Skill obtained.
Element: Lightning
Lightning Strike"
The announcement rang once again in her head. She felt being reborn.
The Leaf gently lay down on the ground then it turned back to Serpent. Raliz was standing. She felt strong. Energized.
Vanessa saw Raliz, she felt relieved. She ran towards her.
" Raliz! Are you alright?" Vanessa asked Raliz worriedly.
" I'm better than alright! I'm... I feel powerful!" She excitedly said and green lightning appeared in her body. It spread everywhere.
A green lightning touched Vanessa but it didn't harm her. But, it made her energized. Her energy came back.
Raliz saw what happened then summoned her gem. Series of informations appeared in front of her like a hologram.

These informations made Raliz glad.
" Raliz! You have lightning elements?!" Vanessa was surprised. She cannot believe it. Raliz wielded two elements.
Well, it's pretty normal here in the Alpha World that people or Creatures possessed multiple elements, especially Wizards.
Vanessa was just happy that Raliz could wield more elements than Nature.
The most awesome part was that Raliz's Lightning could energized a person. That Green Lightning was called Energized.
A user could pass her or his overflowing energy to an another person. But it could only energized, it couldn't heal or restored mane or anything. Just like making people more positive and Energized.
Raliz opened her palm then casted, " Lightning Strike!"
Lightning appeared in her palm and directly flew to the sky. She did this Ten times until she got weary.
She looked at her stats and saw her mana reduced by 1,000.
So every time she used Lightning Strike, she'll lose 100 manas.
Raliz stopped using it when she felt her body weakened.
" Reckless." Serpent and Vanessa said while looking at Raliz laying on the ground.
...
Since it was getting dark, Vanessa and Raliz camped for the night. Raliz directly fell asleep when she reached her bed in Vanessa's Castle like tent.
They slept for the night peacefully.
Serpent was looking at the sky.
" Raliz, it seems you're different from what I've expected. You are able to adapt other elements too. And... Recieving the seal of the Thunder Phoenix? Fate is getting interesting." Serpent spoke to itself while smiling.
Serpent noticed something in the sky. A black cloud.
...
Raliz!
Raliz heard someone calling her. That familiar voice, it is her Grandpa!
Her Grandpa appeared in front of her. She cried and hugged her Grandpa. As she touched her Grandpa, she noticed that her Grandpa wore some kind of weird garments that exuded Dark Energy.
Her Grandpa also wore this Black Breast Plate. The Dark Breast Plate has a mark. A Black Mark.
She felt dark energy burst out in the body of her Grandpa.
" Raliz, I found you. Wahahaha!"
Her Grandpa laughed evilly.
Raliz pushed him away then prepared for battle. Lightning appeared in her hands. She was ready to strike.
" Who are you?! Where's my Grandpa?!" She asked angrily.
" There. There. We'll see each other soon." After her Grandpa said that he turned into a black smoke then flew towards her.
" Raliz wake up!"
A voice made Raliz woke up from that horrible nightmare.
Raliz was sweating all over. Serpent looked at Raliz. Worried.
Serpent asked, " What happened?"
" I saw my Grandpa." Raliz said.
" Your Grandpa?" Serpent's face looked confused.
" Serpent, what's this mark means." Raliz asked while she wrote something on a paper.
She showed it to Serpent and Serpent Eyes bulged.
" Dark Lord's Mark!"
Serpent was shocked. Raliz was also shocked as Serpent.
" What did you say?! Dark Lord's Mark! That means... Dark Lord has my Grandpa!" Raliz concluded.
Serpent's thought was different than Raliz so it asked again.
" What did you saw in your dream? Tell me what he looks like."
Raliz told Serpent what she saw. Serpent couldn't believed it.
Black Mark. Black Metal Breast Plate. Strange Garments that exuded Dark Energy. Leads only to one person, Dark Lord!
" Tell me Serpent, He has my Grandpa, right?" Raliz asked worriedly.
Serpent only nodded. But Serpent lied. Serpent knew it's not that Dark Lord has her Grandpa. Her Grandfather was... Dark Lord!
And she was the chosen one that will have her Grandfather's head.
Serpent got more worried because Dark Lord found her.
" That Black Cloud... She needs to get stronger." Serpent said in its mind.
