faes stayed in her library thinking over what aiden had told her. he was right the amount of techniques she was using were a lot and they were holding herself back.
thinking it over the hours and planning faes found out a solution and began to work on it. instead of using magic particles faes was going to work with qi now. faes can use magic still with qi and make her own unique cultivation method.
this time using fire and air for offensive, earth and water for defensive. lightening for movement reduction or stun and light and dark when she had no other choice.
faes created a set of moves based on the laws of elements using qi and magic particles as base and turned those set of moves into levels so that they can keep up with her level up.
faes even made special set of moves using qi and one using light and darkness, which she was going to practice along with her other set of moves. these two moves will be her foundation and ofcourse they were not going to make her past techniques and practice go to waste, instead they will make it stronger. faes actually didnt had any idea on what to do but after surfing through the library for few hours she found few cultivation method sets which gave her idea to create these three sets.
the methods faes created by merging a few were named immortal elemental mystic arts, transcend qi mystic arts, darklight star arts. faes spent her time writing and creating these sets for a few days both in lore and mystic fog castle.
on other hand aiden began to teach sky and found that she was no less of a freak than faes. sky though was a newborn had knowledge and maturity that of a five year old and her learning speed was no less than faes maybe even more.
aiden taught her about the world, politics, mathematics, languages, magic, social communication and also about her and other royal families.
aiden only had one thought for both 'they're freaks'
when faes showed him the new set of cultivation he felt proud that faes was his daughter though not real, he was also not surprised when he noticed that changing the methods wont affect her cultivation much.
this made aiden remember that he still needs sky to choose a cultivation technique.
aiden had prepared many cultivation methods which he showed to sky and explained them as she was still just a newborn even with high intelligence,
sky choose a set of cultivation similar to faes which allows her to use the elements she have an affinity with along with qi and a set of complex movement technique which she cant practice for some more time.
the methods sky choose was names elemental dragon wave, it includes the elements sky uses and qi turning it into a radiation wave called dragon wave. it was a method with similar difficulty as the one faes is using.
when sky began her magical practice and cultivation she turned out similarly powerful in magic as faes after easily cultivating in her difficult method which no one can master not even him who was considered a genius in his generation.
'indeed powerful people are going to emerge again soon, then the world will change again' aiden thought before turning to faes who was feeding sky while eating her own dinner 'kailial i found someone similar to you, faes will help you in the future to save the world and its peace'
.....
"sky do you like it?" faes asked as she walked in the forest with sky sitting on her shoulder. sky was now a month old and they were currently going on a hunt after aiden allowed sky to leave the cave.
sky gave a nod looking around in joy and awe from her shoulder. aiden was also with them so they were able to look around without being alert most of the time.
sky had taken a liking to sit on faes shoulder, whenever they were alone sky would sit on faes shoulder and watch what she was doing except when faes was practicing, at that time faes made sky sit at a distance and just watch to make sure she is safe. today they were going to hunt again after sky was born and this was her first time leaving the cave so she was excited which even faes felt through their link.
"we are still going to hunt manaless and teir 1 animals today as this is sky's first time in a forest, though you can play around too" aiden told them. faes and sky didnt mind as they made their way where aiden led them still looking around they soon came in front of a cave which belongs to a tier 1 beast, a fox.
faes turned to aiden and asked "we are hunting a fox? and not the gale rabbits, its sky's first time hunting."
"sky cant run to catch the rabbits so we have to skip them dont you want to hunt a fox together if not i will just find another tier 1 beast for both of you" aiden replied but faes noticed that aiden was getting slightly tired which never happened before. when faes noticed this she looked at him more carefully and saw that his skin had more lines than usual, there were dark circles under his eyes, his nails were turning slightly bluish and his mana was weaker.
'system how much time aiden have?' faes asked
[about two months max] the system replied sadly.
faes knew that this time would come but not this early, it had only been slightly more than a year since she met aiden how can he die this early?
but faes also knew that she cant do anything regarding that except she have to take care of sky for him as he did for her.
a nudge from skh brought faes back to reality where she had been lost in thought for some time.
"sorry lets go and hunt this fox right sky? " faes asked putting theb sadness to the back of her mind so the sky cant sense it even when it looked like she already did.
aiden who was tired watched from the side how faes stared at him with her eyes filled with sadness and sighed, she had seen through his tough act. the poison had weakened him greatly and just walking had him tire out. he was no better than sky though he can still use his mana and easily kill a king establishment but it will only take a troll on his body and decrease his time with sky and faes.
aiden had already prepared every thing he thought was needed and had already accepted his death but he was relaying on faes to take care of sky for him. he was sure they would be safe together and also help save the world.
