Chereads / Death Chaser / Chapter 9 - Neutral Era

Chapter 9 - Neutral Era

I refused not to participate but it was not convincing enough. So ever since that day I have been so naughty to convince my parents to go or to Dr. Renné who was in charge of me.

But as usual, if I will it has to be not too much movements around my wound. The wound is on my left waist, left side is where my partner's arm goes to my back to support it so it may count that it supports most of my left. But the problem is my waist which most movements are controlled to execute the dances properly, besides the footwork.

In dancing, not just ballroom but all dances, footwork is the most important to master to execute the dance properly. Footwork is like the epicenter of an earthquake, where the focus of the wave starts which eventually spread throughout the body and will automatically follow the movement of the wave produced.

Mastering the correct dance steps in a dance and perfecting the footwork becomes a powerful wave which will be the energy to execute the dance correctly and properly. But not only perfect movement, execution can make a dance seen beautiful but also your passion and love in dancing makes it more radiant to watch.

Back to my wound again, I can reassure to dance slow waltz safely but tango and quickstep, I can't make sure about that.

"Yuu, Dinner is ready!" Mama called from below. I clearly heard since I left my door open. I was discharged from the hospital earlier this noon and I've been in my room sorting my mind.

"Coming Ma!" I answered back then walked downstairs to eat dinner. I found mom carrying the dishes to the dinner table, as usual her brown hair is bun up while I saw my father, combed black hair with his clear light brown eyes still wearing his suit sitting in a chair facing the food at the table. I guess he have just arrived from work.

My family is often mistaken as models. My father having a sexy body, yeah it is weird to say sexy about my father but I've known that the adjective sexy is more for men while for women are gorgeous. And yes, my mother is gorgeous which possibly makes me too, hehe you know genes.

We love wearing some fitted clothes including my father but he wears not that fitted as you imagine but just right size which shows, obviously, our body figure. Well fitted clothes makes us comfortable to move, so yeah.

I sat down as the aroma of the foods on the table enters my nose. Mama really is a great cook. We prayed and start eating. Steamed fish dip with mixed mayo and ketchup followed by warm cooked rice. Simple dish yet wonderful.

After dinner I helped my mother with chores but stopped me halfway to not push my self. I can't argue with her words so I went back to my room, took a shower. Wear my grey with a pink patterned pajama pants paired with loose grey shirt. I patch my wound but did not bandage it so that it will breathly heal.

I faced my mirror to examine my wound properly but the thing I noticed was my hair that was clipped behind ear down to my shoulder. Looking down I notice the ends, it was turning golden-yellow about an inch. Nah, It might have accidentally colored by some unnoticed paint or something. So I ignore it and went to bed. What a tiring day...

...

Dreaming, Yuna saw a beautiful woman in a misty place. Curious, she went to her but was not able to look at her face that she don't have control of her dream body. Yuna focuses her eyes and examine the woman clearly. Silver hair, grey robe and a crown around the woman's head. Looking at her right a fire was lit.

'Hecate?' after speaking she felt D-sense activated as her heart beats fast.

The woman turn around with no eyeballs but a green liquid flows from them with a wicked smile on her face, spoke with a very cold voice.

"Found~ you~"

Cold wind ran down Yuna's spine as she was terrified. Her surroundings turned dark as the woman slowly stood up walking slowly with heavy footsteps echoed, towards Yuna.

Terrified she tried to run away or shout but to no avail she stood there terrified. Then the woman extended her hand and turned green as it burst with green light befors it reached Yuna... Whoosh! Mist covered her like she is being swallowed.

"Nooo!!!" she shouted. As came to her sense misty place surrounds her. A sense of familiarity run through her.

"Are you alright?" a voice called out. Yuna turn around and hurriedly got up to move away from her.

"It is alright, dear. It is me, the Hecate. Thank goodness you called or else you would have gone somewhere I do not know", the goddess' voice reassured Yuna's cautiousness.

Yuna having the sense of familiarity, knew she was in the Boundary and examine the Hecate in front of her confirming she is the Hecate Yuna knew, thus she calm herself.

"Who... What... was that?" Yuna said, stuttering in fear.

It really is resuming, it must have been hard for her encountering that. Thus she has the right know now before it's too late. Hecate thought, keeping her facial expression calm.

"You've been curious about the Era I have mention before. It is related to what had just happened to you but before that you know about that. Let me tell you the Era when and where it all started." Hecate seriously said tapping her torch to the "ground". Before Yuna could speak a silver barrier with runes and magic circles appeared enclosing them both.

"This will keep us from being seen, heard and to whom attempts to invade us. But by the time you have heard this. You must not speak a word about it, even a whisper or a dream. There are many dangers once you have known more. That is why I have created this barrier. Would you take the risk despite of what has happened?"

Yuna thought for some time. My, is this where the MC makes his/her life-changing decision? then becomes awaken with some powerful magic and things like MC will protect the world then there comes his comrades protecting etc.

Cringe just saying it but it might not be that bad to experience it. As they say, Experience is the best teacher. Ahh sh*t! I'm in my delusional mode. Hey, self. This is real its freaking happening. Alright, breath in, breath out. Yuna calm herself thinking back to reality...

Well I had already got involve in this matter and possibly I could get drag up again which I might not be able to avoid it. And knowing more about this matter may help me act fast when something happens... Many things compiled in her mind and finally came up with her decision.

"I've been involved in such situations and possibly will be. Risk has always been in me. Knowledge is also power therefore why not dig deep before getting swallowed up knowing nothing." she sincerely stated.

Seeing a young lady determine of her choice in this life-changing decision. Must be hard for her to decide such things. Hecate thought. She nod and smile to Yuna hoping she will be alright.

"Listen carefully and you shall not say a word anything you will hear from here. Keep this to yourself." The goddess warned Yuna. After seeing her reply she started the story.

...

In the beginning, Majicai lived in harmony on Earth before the humans existed. They were able to use magic freely no restrictions. At first when they saw an indescribable creature which is human being they treat them well since did not feel any aura in this creature.

After interacting some time, one of them concluded an idea to let the humans borrow an aura from the different races of Majicai but in exchange they must respect them and to not forget where they gotten their power. The humans were delighted but some of the magical creatures disagreed. For those who agreed, each race gave a speck of their aura to a group of humans.

Some inherited the only appearance or the abilities only of the race they received the aura from yet there are who inherited both, only one in each race. In which they become the leaders of the human race. They call themselves Magi. There is only one Magi in each race who inherited aura.

Elven the race of elves. Pointed ears and has a long hair, either blonde or silver. Not only great archers but crafty in magic artifacts. Enhanced eye sight, accuracy in using long-range weapons and skillful in controlling magic especially in creating artifacts.

Most live in the forest. Making tree houses with the help of the dryads, one of their kind. They talk and ask the trees for their needs. They use the leaves as their cover to keep them from intruders. And some live in the caves or mines deep ones with crystal cores. They use crystal core and their magic in making magic artifacts.

Duwende, they are like the known dwarves yet different. Their average height is one to two feet, skin are green or brown in color. Average sized muscles yet sturdy and flexible. Crafty hands and mischievous in magic, because of these skills of theirs they are also known as Thieves. They wear a bonet like gnomes which has a storage magic, it is where they put what they have stolen. Unique thing when they steal is, they only steal what they need not what they want or curious about.

They live under and in big trees. Create space inside and even dig as an underground shelter. But be careful, when you stepped on their house, territory they'll curse you using their magic, mischievously. Mushrooms, if there is a certain mushroom under a big tree then that is where they live.

Sirena, has an upper part of a woman and lower part of a fish tail. Their bodies are a form of water for they are part of the ocean waters. They live within the ocean as it is there magic itself.

Their beauty, charm and voice attracts who see and those who hear them. Even their presence itself can hypnotize other Majicai.

"And there were many more races of Majicai. To many to mention them all. Eventually, you'll encounter them. Now where were we... " Hecate added and continued.

Even of all that inheritance they did not became a Majicai itself, still a human being in heart and in mind.

As they multiply, the Magi's power will only be passed to the next heir when the current Magi has passed away. Since Magis have a longer life than any human, even to those who have auras, it takes many generations before the next Magi will arrive.

The existence of Majicai and humans living together, the balance of magical and non-magical beings which the era was called Neutral Era.
