Amanda and Dedrick both agreed as long as I could keep him out of trouble
Clara and I decided Felix as he seemed sophisticated and noble
"But I think it's strange Clara, you have a lot of mana."
"What about it?"
Clara looked at me confused and I continued
"I think you have a talent in magic Clara."
"No way!? I can't even do what you do."
"It's my supernatural power, not magic."
I looked closer at Clara
"I barely had any mana but you have so much, if you train hard you'll be a great mage!"
Clara was thinking for a moment until she shouted
"Then I want to be a mage Claire!"
This was how Clara decided to be a mage as she wasn't talented in anything
She had no self confidence but when I encouraged her she gained it back
"The only problem is that I can't teach you…."
"You'll have to ask my parents or go to a well known academy."
———————————————
Felix got better and clung to me like I was his mother
And I appreciated every moment with him
"Claire? Are you doing alright?"
"Yes mom, I think I'm doing great."
She decided to drop by and was surprised to see Felix in my arms
"This is Felix, I decided to take him in."
"That's fine, but are you sure you're okay. You can come back home."
"Home is anywhere that is precious. This whole village is precious so anywhere here is my home."
I knew that she missed me but I didn't want to see Lewis at all
"Felix is just a few weeks old so be careful mom, I need to make his food."
I left Felix in her arms and went to find Clara
"Clara, my mom is here so you can ask her."
"She's here!"
She got up and ran as quickly as she could
I had about enough mana for the day to make Felix's meals so I guessed that things would be fine.
—————————————————
Mom agreed to teach Clara as Felix nestled his body on mom's legs
I guess his male instincts led him to where he desired
I could even hear him purring on her lap
I got the milk and my discussion with mom is continuing
"So I just wanted to let you know that when you turn 12, 6 years later in the future, you'll attend the Clear Grove Academy."
"What's all this about?"
"His majesty the emperor has given me the opportunity to admit you in the most prestigious academy for my loyalty and work."
"I don't understand."
"Clear Grove academy is run by an ancient mage who has lived for 800 years and has taught every single figure in history ever recorded."
She looks deeply at me
"When I heard Clara wanted to become a mage I instantly thought of putting the both of you into that academy."
"I want you to know that this is a great opportunity that not even I would ignore but if you don't want it I underst….."
"I'll go, If I don't then I won't be happy with myself."
"Alright sweetheart."
She smiles and hugs me and kisses me
I tell her I loved her and we said good bye

Clear Grove Academy
I have never heard of its name when I was alive so it must've been built after I died
Just how long was it since I died
Moving on
*scratch*
Felix was clawing at the door
It seems that he likes mom more than me
But I know how to win his heart
I activated a memory of craftsman name James
I went to Dedrick where he was chopping wood for the winter
"Can I take some of them?"
"What for?"
"It's a surprise."
He was okay with it and I got a few logs
I went to my favorite tree and climbed up
I made little tools of ice and got to work
————————————
I took the whole rest of the day but I finished
Now I could win Felix over
I opened the door and showed it to Felix
He went wild and loved it
It was a box
A wooden box with a circular hole at the top
And cushions on all sides inside the box
He went berserk inside of it and the box tumbled with every turn
*clack*
I think I should cushion the outside as well
But all that matters is that he loves me
When I poked my head in the box
*boop*
He booped my face with his little paws
I love him
He's adorable and so much cuter than dogs
I backed away and when he took a peek outside I booped his wittle nose
(Spelled wittle on purpose)
I don't know why I'm doing this but I find it cute
Clara came into the room and stared at me like a weirdo
But I could not even care for her existence while playing with Felix
——————————————————
A few days later I patched his box of destruction and made a little mouse toy that he could chew up
I made it with magic so it should be very durable
Things are going well
*slam*
The door opens suddenly and Dedrick looks exhausted
I spoke too soon
"Your mom is fighting a giant squid!"
It seems like mom went towards the sea and she got attacked by the squid
"Where is she at?"
"Just a few minutes west down the river."
I got up and started running
Mom is fighting a monster that is resistant against her supernatural abilities
Under normal circumstances she would at her strongest in places full of water but now it's different
I saw the river and made a small boat of ice and got on
When I was inside I made a huge blast of wind with magic from my hands propelling me faster than I can run
I was starting to run out of mana so I incorporated my authority
In other peoples eyes, it's a supernatural power but it's actually an authority
Possessing an authority makes you a demigod or in my case a witch
I was quick in enough to see sand and my mom held tightly by tentacles
Dad was there as well, throwing spears made of fire at the monster
He used to be able to make huge flames and set monsters ablaze with a snap of a finger but because of his arrogance he lost his eyes
He now is cautious and is struggling to save mom because he does want to hit her
Mom kept summoning blades of water and tides to push it away but it just brushed past the kraken like it was nothing
And even if it did hit, it would regenerate shortly
I immediately rode my boat and blasted onward
When I was within reach I blasted the arm holding mom
It immediately froze the arm and shattered shortly after, dropping mom
"Mom! Pushed the monster further in the sea."
"What are you doing here!?"
"Just hurry!"
She did as I ask and the monster was pushed back
I charged my authority and formed a ball of ice and threw it at the monster
Seconds later it made contact with the monster
*boom*
The ice ball exploded and completely froze the monster and waters
It was so strong that the tides went wild
But before It could thaw, I broke the ice and monster into millions of pieces
The waters became so shaky that I started to lose my balance
"It would be nice if you could get me out of the water mom!"
"On it!"
She pulled the tides to push me back to land
I got out of my makeshift boat and hugged mom
"Are you alright mom?"
"I'm fine honey."
"Dedrick came back from the fishing trip and said that you were fighting a kraken and I knew it was a disadvantages for you!"
"Thank you Claire for coming to my rescue."
Dad came in suddenly
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
He muttered like he was pouting
"Oh grow up you man child! You thought you could protect me and lost your eyes because of it."
"Just because I think it was admirable did not make it any less stupid."
Mom went on a rant in front of Kieron
And I'm not surprised
She said he used to have a flamboyant personality but it was more of an idiot and always showed off to her and tried asking her out
When he lost his eyes, he lost his balls and became timid
This is amusing to watch
But I know there will be a times like this where we will be in danger
I should get a head start on my studies…..
