_"Iry, say hello to Mr. Bryn"
Looking up to meet that man's eyes, I can't really say that I sensed danger, but definitely he didn't give off a nice feeling
His jet black eyes shined for seconds, like he found an interesting prey.
_"oh, nice to meet you Iris, I came here to have a little chat with you, okay? "
_ah I don't feel his intentions are pure so,
Time to act.
With a crying voice and trembling hands, I held into my mom's skirt tightly, as if asking for protection.
_"m _mommy, why is he here, is he here to hurt me like the others?"
_" oh, no of course not my baby"
She picked me up, while I hugged her neck with both of my arms
_"you know that mommy won't let anyone hurts you right? "
As I slowly nodded my head I looked at him with the corner of my eyes.
_ha seems like he is also taking a back
_" um don't worry ms.Yenna I usually get along with kids very well "
_ hmm he is starting to get nervous I see.
We went inside setting on the table,
And mom started to explain things
_" Iris, I asked for Mr. Bryn's help to hide your eye colour, you know mom is so worried that someone might hurt you right "
_oh so that's how things are,.... wait a minute,
She can use camouflage magic, I have seen her using it serval times to change her look while gathering plants from the forest.
_" don't worry little one, just stay still I will try it out "
He sat in front of me putting his hand in the air close to my face, mumbling some words.
A glowing ray stared to surround me, sparkling, it felt a bit nice though.
And then, the sparkles suddenly stopped and the Ray darkened and in a seconds everything disappeared.
As well as the collision reaction Mr. Bryn had
It's like something had hit him.
He looked at me with surprised eyes,.. well it was a first for me too.
_chuckle ~
_"haha I never expected a kid to have this amount of power , you are really a treasure, Irisa"
_eh.... I don't know if I should feel nice or creeped out from him really
_" oh is that why the spells doesn't work on her? "
_" I think so, she really carry a great amount of magic within her, our normal magic won't effect, only a very strong one with do"
_I think it's good though, but mom have those worried eyes again.
_" let me try something different one more time"
He took out a book from his bag, the book looked so old, and it had a lock?
Why would there be a lock though
Hmmmmmm
_"oh, is that?! "
My mom didn't finish her words, as he gave her a stare while nodding his head.
_you bastard don't look at mommy like that
I wish I could say that really...
He started to perform it again but this time I felt a little eh uncomfortable maybe
The glowing rays this time were dark and bigger, it surrounded my whole body and I really felt dizzy.
In a few seconds he was finished and I finally could open my eyes without dizziness
_"oh my, we succeeded! " mom said and hugged me
_ummm what
They got me a mirror to look at and I saw that my marvelous crimson eyes had turned black, with a shaky voice I said :
_" but _but mommy I want my eyes back red "
I was really upset if you ask me, I liked my eyes alot.
_" Iry, it's just to keep you safe from people "
_" don't worry I can teach you how to turn your eyes back if you want "
_" what! Mr Bryn that's dangerous she is still a kid"
_"actually if they found out, they will definitely take her"
Looking at him, I'm pretty sure the magic he used isn't the normal one,
huh.... maybe he knows the " dark magic".
As I said before "dark magic" has serval kinds
And only the royal family and some high bloodlines have the ability to use it, however most of the soldiers and academics of course aren't capable of using it so, they give them "power mark" and that to give them a limited amount of magic to serve the kingdom,
However, there was some commoners that have hidden dark spells books, some were sold in the black market, sinse spells doesn't really require the user to have that power within him.
Of course the books have limited and low power but it's better that nothing.
Maybe as he he has that book he might know how can I use my powers.
_"teach me"
_" but Iris! That's dangerous my baby! "
_" mom you just said that I have strong magic, I want to learn how to use it and how to fight "
_" but... I "
_" I want to become strong enough to protect you and Kenny, like you did to me "
Turning to look into that man's eyes, I was boiling with unexplained emotions crashing my heart, anger, hope, excitement and fear
_" So teach me "
..........
A memory of two years later:
The kid's hopeless eyes was seeing the huge fire flaming and eating up the house that she once felt safe in
_.... If someone have told me that it would be this destruction ....
Mom I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you in the end.
With injured body on death doors, seeing everything she ever called home getting turned to ashes.
her helpless eyes have closed for the last time.
