Confusion was all that Lanthim, felt as he did not understand what was going on around him. Frera just stood looking like an emotionless almost dead personage.
"You will learn to forgive us Lanthim this action is necessary to preserve your life and for the fulfilment of our own goals."
Her voice was cold, so very cold, the temperature of the room seems to change with her presence. Slowly moving from the foot of the bed, closer to where Lanthim was sitting. Raising her arm the boy shook in fear. Exposing a hand from the sleeve of her long dress advancing towards him.
"I do not understand what is happening." [Lanthim]
Fear was now all that Lanthim felt. Frera's cold gaze, and whatever she was going to do with him made his skin crawl. Backing away felt like the most logical idea, however, as he attempted to do so the bed completely disappeared from underneath him. Floating where the bed once was, trying desperately to get to some form of safety was Lanthim trapped.
The touch of Frera's hand on his forehead, brought to his attention just how powerful she actually was. Trying as he might to speak, she had rendered such capacity impossible. Such a being existed, only with her touch alone. She rendered him completely unable to function, all he knew was fear of the unknown.
"Since you are incapable of speaking or resisting I shall explain your current situation." [Frera]
Frera had now taken a seat, where the chair came from he did not know.
"It has been decided due to your inability to keep yourself inconspicuous. Developing your Mana manipulation techniques to a point that may, threaten your life in the very near future. That the bulk of your mana is to be sealed away until such a time comes, that we see fit to have said seals removed."
Like a teacher at her desk Frera gave her purpose for being present, with not even the slightest care.
'What sealed who are you to decide this for yourselves, this is my life let me live it my way.' {Lanthim}
Lanthim attempted to break himself free from Frera's magic, but he could not the construct she was using to hold him in place, was of a degree that he could barely comprehend it.
"You think that we allowed you to reincarnate. for some fun game. Or that there was mercy in it. Do not be so naive child we required you to be born to fulfil our purposes, the defeat of Calgian, and nothing more. Yes we will allow you to live out a life of your choosing however, when you endanger yourself it dooms our plans so we must act." [Frera]
Her words cut deep ever since he was born into this world. He had tried with all of his might, to reach a position that he could do what Frera was suggesting. All these long months he had endeavoured to reach a point that he could quickly be ready for such a battle.
Standing from her chair, Frera looked at him with such pity in her eyes, coming closer to Lanthim placing her hand on his back then saying.
"Did you seriously think, that you could just become just like us. In a few years and then prevail in the end. You should have stopped after your mother locked you up. I found it funny, watching you carrying on with no care in the world. Only for it to fall to me to bring you low." [Frera]
A finger now pressed up against the centre of his back.
"At least, I will get to see you suffer for such insolence." [Frera]
With these final words and a dark fiendish smile, Frera implanted the sealing magic into Lanthim's back. In an instant, the pain of the magic sequence hit him. As he had never been hit with pain before. He could feel nothing, just eternal endless pain as the seals slowly carved themselves into his back.
As Lanthim continued to suffer extreme pain, Frera slowly monitored the progress of the seals. The main seal would confine almost all of his mana, in a state that he could not use it. After this, there was a pair put on each wrist. These were semi-active allowing whatever mana was left to be used but sparingly.
Tears ran down Lanthim's face, the process was almost over and he felt near death. Any energy he had been completely spent. Trying to take in breath with such pain had taken what energy he had left. Finally, the final sequences were finished and the pain slowly subsided.
Underneath him, his bed reappeared gently he was placed upon it. Frera stood over his tired little body, her smile had not diminished in the slightest.
"So now you are just like any other man, weak and powerless. Find the true way to achieve power, and you will find that what you had before was nothing but a pale imitation." [Frera]
Frera's words continued to resound in his ears then sleep took him.
