ALEX POV:
Its been a year since I started condensing the two energies to form my core.
It was a very slow and arduous process.
I could see why the book stated that it would take at least adolescence age for a person to 'awaken'.
If I had let my core be formed naturally then it would at least take a decade to form.
But as an elder adult's my mind and the technique from my world ,it became fairly easy for me to gravitate the mana and aether in a single place to form the core.
Its not like I was complaining because normal kids my age would now be busy crying and making a fuss for food and I was getting to face the world in my style.
In the post year I accumulated enough mana and aether in my solar plexis and even though mom became suspicious and called the deviant.
Nothing could be done now that I am almost finished.
When she was able to see my core I was shocked but the plus side was that she was not able to look at the aether as she only had a core of mana and due to this fact all she could see would be large mana light balls floating near my solar plexis.
This would have made her think that my core is half finished and would finish forming in some more time.
But I cannot take the risk of stopping my progress as I will have to grow strong and be ready for what the life will throw at me.
As the deviant went to the other room, I started to form my core again if I would concentrate enough then it will form ina about 10 minutes but it will be taxing for me as it would consume more energy.
As I concentrated mire and more only four particles were seen and after some minutes ....
FWOOSH*
Wind started to blow in a spherical dome like shape and covered Alex.
STEVE'S POV:
Aww little Alex! look how cute he looks.
I was so happy we had a son.
I wonder when can babies start to train?
When did I started my training?
Man, I can't even remember, I can't wait to teach my baby boy all about magic!
I hope he someday soon will be able to defeat his old pops.
Though I cannot help him mentally to help him learn magic but I can help him maintain a nice body as being his trainer and being a conjurer myself its one thing at which I am pretty confident.
Although Amber would be more suitable to help him learn magic.
Back at the good old days we would go hunting beasts to collect the so called beast cores and skill card.
Beast cores helped people to increase their mana capacity till a certain level.
The skill cards were the skills of the beasts one can learn these skills by killing the beasts and then getting a metallic card from the beast and whatever skill would be drawn on the card that skill could ve learned by absorbing the skill card by pouring some mana in it.
The beast cores were an organ of the beasts which helped them to use mana and the beast were good in mana manipulation due to this they infinitely absorbed the mana unlike us who could only absorb limited amount of mana at a particular time period.
