Miguel really hadn't expected this when he came here, but as always the Warrior Spirits' intuition was usually flawless, so he would have to take some time to get to know this young mage better.
After all, the year of his 18th birthday was crucial to make him a Priest, as it was the last year he could still create an affinity with the basic elements, he had failed with Colin because no matter how many lightning particles he absorbed, the affinity with that element had never been created for him.
And since Colin there had been no mages with such potential, Alan and Ian were very talented mages but they were already too old to become Priests now, and Kevin was the first one who had reappeared and he had become a Priest in the space of only two weeks.
So if Ashton was one too, it would mean that others would soon appear and that the exceptional beings that the Priests had been would perhaps finally be reborn.
