"You didn't say that it was this far. My legs are starting to hurt," said Ember while screaming at Amadeus. " Stop acting like a child; we're nearly there," said Amadeus." It's easy for a swordsman like you who depends on his physical power, but I am a magician, so my training doesn't include physical exercise," said Ember.
Ember kept complaining for the rest of the road but was frustrated by Amadeus's cold face. They reached the quarry, and the doors were opened. Bertram and 30 followers behind him were all wielding weapons.
"I see, you're a bandit leader, and you took the quarry as your home," said Ember, but she was faced with Bertram's rage. He pointed his sword at her and said, "How dare you call our god a bandit! Such disrespect must be punished."
" Bertram if i wanted to harm her i would have done it, but by leaving her means i have plans to use her in so i hope we will not have this conversation again because next time it won't end with a warning," said Amadeus with a cold voice that sends shivers down Bertram Spine.
" Sorry master it won't happen again, open the way," said Bertram and the followers opened a way for Amadeus and Ember.
Amadeus took Ember to his training place but since she encountered Bertram. Ember stayed silent and appeared lost in thought, and after Amadeus waited for several minutes she wouldn't talk so he decided to start training until she woke up.
" what have i done, if what that man said was true then i attacked an actual god, what should i do, right maybe he was just lying a lot of people claim to be god," said Ember fracking out but was back to reality after a wave of strong wind caused by Amadeus training hit her.
" what are you doing, you could have killed me," said Ember who was back to reality "So you woke up, then let's talk about what i need you for," said Amadeus "Wait before that are you really a god " said Ember.
Amadeus showed his Crown to Ember who fell on the ground from shock then he said "Yes, i am a god, do you have a problem working for a god " Ember replied, " Of course not i have been serving a god since i was little ".
Amadeus started looking at Ember with menacing eyes that made her scared " is he angry because i was serving another god " said Ember to herself "Another god , let's see who is he " said Amadeus and used { Divine sight },
[ creature info ]
Name = Ember redgem
Race = elf
Age = 1252
former follower of = Agni the God of fire
current follower of = none
" you followed Agni before, that explains your strong fire magic," said Amadeus "How did you know, i guess i should not be surprised since you a god, i didn't meet him in person but i was his follower and i dont wish to talk more about this topic," said Ember with a face full of guilt and regret.
" you shouldn't force her to talk since its very rare for a strong follower to leave the god they serve, so there is two possibilities, either she left by herself or was thrown by Agni when she became useless to him," said The Crown.
" i agree, right now i have no interest in knowing her past," said Amadeus to the Crown without Ember hearing them because the only person who can hear the Crown is Amadeus " So what i need you for is ... " said Amadeus but was cut off by Ember.
" stop let me guess," said Ember then she started getting lost in the dreams that maybe Amadeus took her because it was love at first sight and she would have a romantic story with him.
Ember's face was red and steam coming from her head then she said "Mr.Amadeus i know i am beautiful but this relationship is not normal, but if you are willing i will do my best ".
Amadeus with confusion filling his head " What are talking about, i just need you to teach me magic" Then Ember replied "You dont have to be shy and lie to me " But after a few seconds of silence and looking at Amadeus's cold face she understood he wasn't lying.
Ember fell to her knees and said "No; my sweet dreams," Amadeus the said "Can we return to our main topic, and stop wasting time " got up Ember and said, "Why do you need me aren't you a god, dont you just know everything".
" i have mana in my body but i can't sense or use mana, so i need you to teach me how to control mana," said Amadeus " since i know he was a god i started remembering our fight, his incredible healing and strength make sense now, but for him to not be able to sense mana is shocking i guess even gods suffer from ungifted people " said Ember to herself with a smirk on her face.
" of course, as a gifted magician like myself, i will help you, but you know magic isn't for everyone so dont be disappointed if you can't learn and dont feel bad for being ungifted in magic," said Ember in a condescending tone while flapping her red hair and.
Avice who just come after hearing that Amadeus a captured the woman was shocked and angry at Ember and said to herself " How dare this woman talk to master like this ".
suddenly part of Ember's hair was cut and her left chick started bleeding " i tolerated your disrespect before but now that you know how i am, next time i won't let an act like this pass " said Amadeus who had his sword on her neck.
Amadeus put the sword back in his inventory, there was a rock he sat on and said " Remember you are only here because you are useful to me, once i see that you're not useful anymore i will kill you so i hope that you keep this in your mind because it will be annoying to lock for another magician "
Avice ran off after seeing what happened and said to herself " i didn't know he was this scary ".
" so she left," said Amadeus to himself " i am sorry it won't happen again, then shall we start training" said Ember.
Ember started by calculating the mana in Amadeus's body, she held Amadeus's hand and after a while, she said " i never saw this a person that can't even sense mana, has a big amount of mana inside his body ".
" that's because i consumed mana crystals," said Amadeus " What, mana crystals are concentrated mana if they are consumed directly the person will die, so they are turned into potions to be consumed, i guess your god's body saved you".
" so what should i do," said Amadeus " You have to learn how to sense mana and i have the perfect method," said Ember.
Ember held Amadeus's hands and started to connect her mana with his, slowly raising it volume until Amadeus could sense mana, time passed and it was nighttime
" i dont feel anything," said Amadeus who didn't like the holding hand method " Of course you won't, but slowly you will sense it " said Ember " And how long will it take," said Amadeus "It different from a person to another but the fastest i heard of was 1 month," said Ember.
Amadeus got up and said "A month, i dont have time to waste," Ember raised and said, "Sorry but magic isn't something you can learn by mere practice, magic takes focus and understanding to learn ".
"let's stop today, it's already late, follow me," said Amadeus then took Ember to his room " Are we going to sleep in the same room together " said Ember " i have to keep an eye on you so you are going to stay in my room, You can sleep on the bed, and there is food on the table that was made for me, you can eat " said Amadeus.
" what about you," said Ember " i dont need to sleep or eat so i will be spending the night reading documents, so make yourself comfortable," said Amadeus " i guess being a god has its benefits unlike us mortals we have to eat and sleep," said Ember.
Ember finished the food and slept while Amadeus spent the night looking through documents hoping he would find more information.
