Ice is more rigid, firm, and unyielding compared to water's adaptable and flexible nature. Ice is solid and stubborn, resistant to change and movement. It's symbol can also be seen as stability and endurance, able to withstand pressure and maintain its form over a long period of time.
It must be that my mana was now that of a level 1 person cause with just a thought of activating my ice magic I felt my fingertips turn cold but in a comfortable way. I heard a crisp sound and on my hand ice formed to a protective glove. I couldn't believe it, just like my water or any water I'd control it was blue in Colour. I cancelled it then stared at the river before me with the intentions of freezing it.
I tried freezing the flowing river feeling my energy lessen at an amazing speed making me expect good results but none of that happened. I wasted it for nothing , it seems freezing a river is still something far fetched from a beginner like myself. I controlled the water in the river turning it to two pumpkin sized water balls that weren't perfectly made cause water still dripped from them. I then imagined them becoming firm and solid like ice, I waited while pouring my energy in freezing them and just as I was about to get tired I was able to freeze one.
Progress! Again I began freezing the water and summoning ice to familiarise using it so that I can start working on attacks. I spent an entire day just focusing on that task with a few breaks inbetween when I ran out of energy but I'd bounce back quickly cause Calestia says I have to drain myself till exhaustion so that I am able to last a longer period in battle. He sure is strict if you ask me but I can't complain cause I can see the fruits of his help. After absorbing mana for the second time I went back home, home? Yeah it definitely feels like home unlike where I come from. I can't wait to eat grandma's food and maybe when I'm not in a tight spot I'll ask her to teach me some of it and other amazing stuff she knows.
" I'm back grandma" I said while entering the living room " I'm in the kitchen" I heard her voice from the kitchen's direction. Walking in the kitchen I saw her baking muffins and I remembered the first time I tasted them. I had wounded my leg and couldn't stop crying, the healer hadn't arrived but she was able to cheer me up by baking them for me. They were so delicious that I cried again when she said I had finished them all. " Arya and Zoe went to buy a few things for me so it's just the two of us , tell me how was your day dear" said grandma causing me to feel excited to tell her everything I've achieved but I refrained from doing so cause I want her to see me in action, seven years from now . " Just normal training that's all" she nodded and didn't force details out of me and again I wondered why couldn't father and Victor be more like her.
Anyway I went for a bath and returned downstairs finding Arya and Zoe just walking in with two bags on each of them. I can't believe she sent a bunch of 9 year olds to buy stuff ,my grandma is the most...chill and carefree person I know. " I hope you trained hard Claudia cause after your display we've also decided to focus more on training our magic than hunting" said Arya and I was surprised to hear that, hunting was like something they're proud of doing. " Yeah we're going to get strong so fast and so hard that getting in the red claw guild will be a breeze" said Zoe with a pumped up spirit " no you're the one getting in the Red claw guild, I'll enter the femme fatale syndicate guild" said Arya with pride.
They already know which guild they want to enter and i don't. Im really stupid but not that stupid , it might be that I don't want to rush things so it's understandable. I asked " Arya can you list and tell me all about the 10 mighty guilds" , " yeah sure thing. Im gonna start from the bottom to the top judging by their popularity".
" 1. Eclipse Order guild- doesn't have many requirements or restrictions that's why it has many members than other guilds _ Judas Bros is the leader and he is the first commoner to ever become a guild leader
2. Phoenix Legion guild- mostly accept wind and Earth magic, _ Sedric Roam is the leader and it's no secret that he has both Wind and Earth magic and he uses a lot of resources to strengthen his guild members
3. Dragonblood Society- only accept nobles and has a no commoner rule. The most flashy guild out of the ten, their base is said to be made out of gold_ Mathew Stone is the leader , he is also the 2nd prince and is known for his powerful and mysterious Fog magic
4. Midnight Shadows- also doesn't have Strick requirements and restrictions , the leader _ Serena Flawous is the most powerful dark magic welder in this country, she always covers her face with an iron mask
5. Serenity Vanguard- is very Strict and doesnt involve itself with the public, only complete missions and keep to themselves_ the leader is Aurora Evergreen, they call her a flower with thorns cause she's very unapproachable and has a power plant magic.
6. Femme fatale Syndicate- strict restrictions, no males , only females but not just any females. Strong and determined females_ the leader is Charlotte Blin who is also strict, she is known for her love of swords plus her magic is known to be very rare and the guild is very popular for its Beautiful female members
7. Red claw guild- consist mostly of fire magic wielders and provides priceless materials for their members, they're very popular for completing dangerous missions. _ the leader is a powerful noble who has quite a temper , Seth Morgrissin who has a very powerful spirit beast
8. Shadow Revenants guild- it is very powerful and is wild on missions, also popular but not in a good way. The shadow Revenants have members that are very abnormal and magic considered odd by the people so not many like them cause they don't follow rules, are dangerous and unpredictable_ Azazel Darkheart is the leader , he doesn't go by the rules but he is very powerful. It's just his uncaring attitude that most people don't like.
9. Brotherhood of Valor- opposite of the Femme fatale syndicate, it doesn't allow females. It consists of only males and its knows as the second best guild . _ leader is an ordinary looking man Thorn who is as thin as a mosquito, he has yet to display his magic and no one knows how he got the position
10. Apex Dominance guild - said to be the most powerful guild for the past 50 years, this guild is always on the top . Its everyone's unrealistic dream to enter it but its almost impossible to be accepted by it. _ leader is Malachi Nightshade, has light and starlight magic plus a spirit beast. "
Wow okay that was wow, all these guilds sound amazing especially the last one but here's the real question would they accept someone like me? Theres One guild though that stood out to me, the Shadow Revenants guild is filled with people that have odd magical powers so there is a chance that they might accept me. It's ranked eighth so it means it's also powerful, I know I said I'd enter the most powerful guild but I don't think Apex dominance will accept a freak like me. Plus the Shadow Revenants leader doesn't follow the rules which is something that's very cool, it'd be a shame to have a boring restricting leader just like my father. I think- no i know that the Shadow Revenants guild is the most suitable place for someone like me.
" So have you decided?" Asked Zoe and I nodded with a bright smile " come on tell us which one ?" Said Arya and I smirked at her " you'll see when we're fifteen"...
