Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 Lessons from a Different World

I have been living with Stella for at least 3 years now I have learned her language well fortunately and since there is not much to do it is not like I have my video games or my cell phone from my past life or my computer to spend time with me I have decided to spend my time training my body as much as possible for a 3 year old which is how long I have been with her and learning to read which was not that hard and the best thing is that on the top floor of the house is a study there are bookshelves with books on various subjects as well as instruments that look like instruments that are similar to the ones I have in my past life. The best thing about it is that the top floor of the house is a study with shelves of books on various subjects as well as instruments that resemble telescopes among others. After playing outside for a while I spend most of my time up here, well I also have to study and help Stella with housework and some of the work she does.

I have learned several things in this time one of them is for obvious reasons the existence of magic however I don't know how to describe it according to Stella's explanation all living beings have the ability to manipulate or use magic was when my question came up then everyone can be a magician to which Stella answered no and why not was my answer you just told me that everyone can use it was when she started her explanation.

Stella: All beings possess that ability, but not everyone can use it because they lack 3 essential things knowledge, intention and a connection.

Connection I answered 

Yes, a connection you make with your teacher or in special cases a contract with a spiritual being.

 Teacher a question "raise my little hand as if I were a kindergarten student".

So the knowledge works as a catalyst

Catalyst you say is a very complicated word for a child of your age I doubt you know what it means.

Yes I know what it means it is something that favors or stimulates the development of a process.

Hey, you've been sneaking into my studio again. 

Not like you think

But if you're right little As 

On the other hand, I guess the intention would be the source of that power wouldn't it?

What do you mean? 

If the magic responds to my will or in other words to my intention to do something.

In a way you are right

I could only watch as she puffed out her cheeks as she turned around to check a book. 

Anyway, that's not the only thing I've learned I also learned about some types of races that exist in this world the first were the elves to which Stella belongs. Thralgor these are the semi-humans that exist in most of the stories but I was surprised that they had a name for their race and that they are not referred to as semi-humans as they are not a standardized race as I mean there is a great variety of them most of them have human traits but fused with some kind of beast like the rabbit girls or so Stella mentioned.

Solarii these are the most abundant I guess they will be like us humans in our world in fact they are identical I do not understand why they were not called human. There are more races, Stella even mentioned that there are some undiscovered races, it was then when I thought of running to Stella to ask what race I belonged to, however I immediately discarded it since it would be strange that a child who grew up with her would doubt that, leaving aside that I am only 3 years old, at least I would find it suspicious. 

The days went by, my 4th birthday came and she prepared a big meal for only two people and I asked what was the reason for so much food and she quickly ran to me and hugged me.

Stella: That's because today is your birthday As, a day like today I found you and you have filled me with happiness that you can't imagine that's why I want to celebrate it.

Wait a minute you found me? Internal thought "I already knew it".

Stella: Ups I guess that wasn't the best way to start, but I think it's time you knew some of the truth. While I consider myself your mother and will be until you are an old man who can no longer fend for himself. 

I notice a slight doubt in her

I don't know how long I can be by your side, I wish it would be until the end of the world, but even I don't know how long it will be. That is why I have decided to live with you as long as possible and teach you, take care of you and make every day a good time for you to remember, even if I don't have anything material that I can give you, at least let me teach you to stand on your own two feet.

That means you will teach me magic and how to fight.

You could say yes but not only that I want to teach you to live and be happy my boy came up to me and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

After a talk we started to eat and he prepared an apple pie or so I think the smell is identical, later I will ask him which fruit it is, the celebration ended and we both lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

Today was a great day, it's as if I got back something I lost, I don't know how to describe it.
