-Sienna Opal- Earlier that Day
It was a simple day really. I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon that Jordan was making and went to go wake up my son.
He's a pretty weird kid, I wouldn't quite say he's the silent type, but he definitely does not talk to other kids his age. However, he's a very smart and innovative child finding his Mana at such a young age without his magic, you rarely see that.
"Rise and Shine August!"
He was such a cute kid with a large curly afro, brown skin, and deep brown eyes that were so captivating. AWWW, he's so cute!
"..mmm... give me like an hour I promise I'll wake up..."
"Your, father just made breakfast come on, its your favorite!"
With a loud groan he began to crawl out of the covers and walked over to the bathroom. The room in itself was pretty small, with a large window on the side along with a bed and desk. It's not to shabby for farmers like us and we get to cultivate our own food.
Me and Jordan try to get August to work in the fields and help with the animals, but in his own words "No I'm better than those stinky animals". I have no idea where he even learned to talk like this, probably from his father. In his younger days, he swore he knew it all.
"Mommy, can I go outside in the forest again?"
"Y'know the farm and outside are practically the same thing? It should be easy working on the farm"
"....it's different."
"....Ok honey sure, after you eat breakfast"
He than beamed at me hugging my legs with a wide smile on his face
"Thank you!"
'This kid I swear' I inwardly thought as I rubbed his hair and brought him downstairs to eat.
-August-
JESUSSSSSSS LORDDDDDDDD.
I hate waking up early. There's like no use for it when you got nothing to do but I still got to listen to my parents. The guilt for taking the OG body from them, not giving them a true child, still eats away at me. I guess I can look at it as if I just got a new set of parents but still, they're not getting the authentic experience.
Well regardless, I found some cool things in this world. I got to keep my hot showers thankfully due to the mana stones and inventions of people that live here. Some magicains are able to imbue their magic in objects and give it certain properties.
Maybe that's a business I can divulge in when I get older. Somehow make broad streaming service.
After Finishing my eggs I quickly left for the forest
"I'll be right back guys!"
"Be careful August!"
-Jordan- 2 hours later
As I tended to the Cows and sheep on our property, I began to think about the potential of our son. August was able to find and display his mana at such a young age, he even began to circulate it which was both amazing and scary at the same time.
With such a young body and mind, I doubt he'll be able to handle mana running rampant through his body. It'll be best for his body to get use to mana for another 10 years before he starts again.
I wonder what his inna-
Suddenly I heard a loud screaming and cursing coming from...
"AUGUST!"
I dashed my way over to the forest hoping to make it in time. Utilizing my ability, I strengthened the tendons in my legs to take longer and quicker strides over to his direction.
*POW*
Shitshitshitshitshitshit. I knew I shouldn't have left him alone, Sienna's gonna fuck me. I add more output into my legs practically tearing them off, exploding off the ground to the point large craters are left in the dirt.
I then began to make out August's figure and a large green pole above him..?
'Is that his Ability?'
"Hey August buddy! Are you alright? Is everything okay?"
He's silent for a moment before looking at me with the largest smile I'd ever seen from him. I then look to the left to the little where I see a Vaspe with a large hole in it on the tree.
'what the hell...?'
"DAD DAD DAD DAD LOOK LOOK!"
Then this kid is jumping all over the place and grabbing onto me screaming my name with so much excitement. This is honestly the happiest I've ever seen him its actually crazy.
"DADIGOTMYABILITYOHMYGODIACTUALLYHAVEACOOLABILITYTHISISOCOOLOHMYGODIGOTTHATWASPOHMYGODDADLOOKABOVMELOOKATTHEGUNOHMYGODDADLOOKASDAD-"
I then covered his mouth and held his shoulders trying to calm him down.
"August slow down, tell me what happened this time slowly"
He was still jumping around crazily but manage to tell me what happened in a calmer manner.
"I WAS JUST SITTING ON THE TREE STUMP THEN A WASP CAME OUT OF NO WHERE TRYING TO EAT ME AND I RAN AND DODGED THEN I THOUGHT I WANTED IT GONE AND DEAD THEN THE WASP GOT SHOT AND DIED I ACTUALLY HAVE MY POWER!"
'we need to fix his Vaspe pronunciation'
"Alright, Nice job buddy but are you okay? You feel tired? Are you hurt? Did you get poisoned?"
He shook his head no wildly and was still bouncing up and down. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, but what is that thing above him? Why is it smoking? He must have awakened his ability. I wonder what core it is?
I looked at him with a smile and began to pick him up and put him on my shoulders. He was still bouncing and shaking on my shoulders with the utmost excitement. Cutest thing I ever seen I swear.
"Alright then, lets go home"
"CANIUSEMYPOWERSAGAINPLEASEILLBECAREFULIPROM-"
"Calm down buddy, also no more forest alone time."
"..."
As I looked above him, the large green pole began to dissipate into thin air. I really wonder what that is, and I think I smelt gunpowder..? Weird...
-Sienna-
"MOMIGOTMYABILITYANDITSREALLYCOOLDOYOUWANNASEEITITSREALLYCOOLCMONLOOKATITIPROMISEITSCOOL"
First thing this kid says as he walks in is incoherent jumble. I look at my husband and he just returns a helpless smile. What happened out there? Did he say something about his ability?
"That's cool honey, but calm down first, tell me slowly what happened"
I looked at Jordan for an explanation. I got one from Jordan in which he translated August's excited but incoherent words.
"...No more forest alone time..."
August began to pout and whine but I was having none of it. It was a mistake in the first place to let him go out alone anyway. Never should have let a 7 year old convince me to go outside, even if the area is relatively safe.
"Well since you awoken your ability, we can head into town to go check your core, and find the details of your ability. Isn't that better?"
"...sure.."
"Alright we'll do it tomorrow first thing in the morning...and Jordan let's have a nice and long talk....."
