It tricked me, Athena is a lake monster!
" how dumb can you be ? didn't anyone tell you that this forest is dangerous or maybe it's your parents who don't care about you?"
I flinched at those words, they should have atleast sent some guards to come and look for me. I'm also an idiot for running in a dangerous forest believing I could make a friend, even so I don't want to die atleast not like this.
" don't worry my dear I'm not one to enjoy food that's still breathing, I'll kill you swiftly and then enjoy you ahahahaha "
There is no way I can run away from it, it already got me frozen in fear and right now saliva was dripping from its mouth. It raised its arm ready to kill me using the sharp claws .
" bye bye my dear friend "
No I can't die, all I know is I have to survive and as soon as it swung its arm I raised my arms to protect myself from the inevitable death. It's what any human will do even if my arms were going to be clawed yet none of that happened and I was scared to open my eyes. After several seconds I opened my eyes but could not believe what I saw, the lake monster's claw was inches away from my face. Water miraculously protected me and it was now freezing the monster. im saved, I looked around for my saviour but there was no one around so who could have saved me.
Cracking sounds made me look back at the lake monster , I felt despair when I saw the monster was trying to break away from the ice. This is where I should run but my feet weren't really listening. Suddenly A fast beam of light coming from behind me hit the monster leaving a hole in its forehead. The monster slowly turned to white particles.
I turned around to see the one who saved me to be met with not a person but A tiger twice the size of other Normal tigers , it was beautiful with eyes similar with the sea of stars. The fur was white and blue looking so soft and smooth. It ignored me and absorbed the white particles while in my mind I couldn't believe I was saved by a beast this beautiful.
" Shouldn't you be running back home human?"
ah! it can talk too
" yes- but how can you talk ?" I was too curious for my own being , besides it saved me so I think it won't hurt me. With laziness it replied
" I just can "
wow it even has attitude , I'm so amazed. " I'm grateful for what you did, you saved my life but why did you do it " instead of answering me it took it's time stretching its own body and I got to admire everything about it.
" You were able to use magic but you have no moonra , how is that human?"
eh me? when did I do that and how does it know that I don't have a moonra. wait it doesn't mean...
" back there when that inferior beast tried to kill you , you exploded with mana and controlled the water but it wasn't a spell at all"
That can't be possible, magic cannot work without a moonra!
" I don't have a moonra so it's not possible for me to use magic. I have water, ice, lightning and storage power but without a moonra all that is useless "
The tiger didn't seem to be lying , in fact I know it's not lying but I just don't want to have hope that will be quickly crushed by reality.
" My name is Calestia , I'm a spirit beast. you are somehow able to use magic without a moonra , you have so much mana internally and around you. any spirit beast like myself will be a fool to not form a life binding contract with you"
What?
...
" Look who finally returned, I was hoping you'd come back with a missing arm " that was Victor barging in my room while I was just ready to sleep. " oh don't look at me like that I also don't want to be here but father sent me so follow me without wasting my time " father ? this day just keeps getting better and better. I followed Victor to where father was but he wasn't alone, mother was there as well. " Victor please leave us " said mother , " Claudia no need to sit , this won't be long" said father.
" Let's start with the stunt you pulled, you were reckless and showed unruly behaviour and the results from the testing ceremony were not pleasant. Since you have no future in ever entering a guild we have decided for you to go live with you grandmother , she lives in a very hidden place and there's also a small town there and hopefully you won't expose your condition" I couldn't believe father's words and the way he just acted like everything is my fault. I looked at mother who simply looked sad showing that she wasn't agreeing with father. So they'll throw me to hidden place huh atleast I'll be living with Grandma who I have missed.
" you may go back to your room" said father and I nodded, away from pressure, Victor and the high expectations I think they're doing me a huge favour. I didn't tell them about what happened in the forest and I'll keep it that way because know I'm no longer alone and I'll never be.
I locked my room and Calestia was finally able to come out of my pocket, he had shrunk himself to the size of a small mouse . " wow that was intense " I agreed but they simply don't know that where grandma lives is the best place for me. " I'm used to it , still I can't believe that we're contracted to each other, do you really believe I can be powerful someday" I'm still scared , this no moonra thing is unheard of. His answer shocked me" having a moonra is great and all but I think it limits humans , with your magic and mana you will have a lot of freedom in magic but of course this path is unknown meaning you are going to figure it out on your own and it'll require hardwork and not giving up " Everything he said is correct, I cannot waver
I must grow strong and enter the best and most powerful guild in this country!
