Nodding at my answer, Ges walked behind me, putting her hand on my shoulder and pressing hard, forcing me to kneel, I turned my head and saw her smile, she liked to hurt.
- You could just ask me to kneel instead of doing it like this. I spoke through my teeth.
- It would spoil the pleasure of seeing your face in pain, little Aluric." - Ges laughed at my reaction, I felt something wet on my back, I tried to touch this place with my hand, but Ges threw back her hand.
- I do not advise you to try to touch your back now, unless of course you want to die. - Hes spoke in a low voice and whispered the last words in my ear.
I lowered my head down and waited for Ges to do what she was doing, at first I didn't feel anything, but after a while I began to feel a tingling sensation on my back, at first the sensation was like mosquitoes that bit my back, then like small needles dug into my back.
Then it got sharper and sharper until I couldn't take it anymore and started screaming. I wanted to get up but could not, I felt a hand on my shoulder that pressed me to the ground and I heard a light whisper.
- Scream, louder this is just the beginning, don't hold back - whispered in a purring voice Ges I could only scream the pain spread from the back to the chest from the chest to the neck from the neck to the face I thought I would lose consciousness but unfortunately for me the pain did not let me fall into unconsciousness.
It seemed to me that hours, if not days, had passed from this pain, it seems to me that I went crazy until it gradually began to recede, I began to breathe slowly, but with every breath the pain returned, but after a couple of minutes it stopped bothering me.
- I advise you to get used to the pain, the human body cannot accept my power, so your body will change with time when the energy of chaos accumulates in your body, it will transform your body and it will continue like this until the body is able to accept my power. - Hes said walking around me and running her hand over my face.
- How do I know that my body has stored energy for transformation? - I asked, trying not to move much for fear of a repetition of pain.
- Close your eyes and see where the energy flows inside you to make it easier for you, I will now direct the energy into your body. - Hes said putting her hand on my shoulder, which is why I instinctively tried to escape, but she squeezed her shoulder tightly until I calmed down.
Closing my eyes, I tried to find the energy at first, nothing worked, but after a short time I found it, it flowed into the lower back where there was a ball the size of my fist, it was filled but not completely.
- When this vessel is full, your body will change, now we cannot go to the next stage because you are not mentally ready. - Removing her hand, Ges said, waiting for me to open my eyes.
Having risen, it seemed to me that I had become taller, my eyesight improved, I could notice the magic flying next to us.
- I have a question for you Ges and not even one. I spoke after a couple of minutes.
- Ask Aluric, I'll try to give you an honest answer, but first, sit down. - Hes answered sitting next to me, I just had to agree and sit opposite her.
- Why did you gods leave our world? - I asked the first question that was of interest to me and the dean.
- We did not go anywhere, we only limited access to magic in this world and sent it to another. - Hes answered thoughtfully, looking at the fire.
- Restricted? But why did the inhabitants of that world deserve magic more than our world? I asked, taken aback by her answer.
- We limited magic in your world because it was no longer valued, all races became greedy you did not appreciate what you had until it was too late, and when you noticed you started blaming each other first and then found us guilty but it was always you who were guilty. When only magic began to appear, all races cooperated and developed, but after a while the light elves became greedy for the magic of light, they did not help, they demanded, the dark elves, delving into their study of dark magic, went against the gods by creating an artificial race called the undead. People so believed in their unshakable strength that they began to organize wars around the world, upsetting the balance. The orcs, having decided that they were gods on earth, began to forget their roots and stopped worshiping their god. The dwarves, on the other hand, were so determined to go underground that they forgot that they were not creatures of stone and metal. We were disappointed and took away those who did not turn away from us and magic. - Hes answered, I saw how memories of the days of the past flashed in her eyes, and the fire sometimes showed random things.
- Are you planning to return to our world? - I asked the main question, I already assumed the answer based on how they reacted to the behavior of all races
- It all depends on you Alurik, we are watching you and the world if you prove to us that the world has changed we will think about returning magic back. - Hes said in a tired voice, looking from the fire to me and back.
- From me? I don't know what I should do tell me Ges! - Her answer shocked me, I was hoping to get an answer from her and received only new questions
- You must find your way on your own without my help, but I will give you parting advice do not trust anyone yesterday's friend will stab in the back, and the enemy will become a friend. - Her voice was tired, looking at me when I saw a hand and heard a click, I opened my eyes in the talent test room.
