"....Who is this Lyrium Blackwood?"
In the Path of the Elemental sage, there isn't a single character name, Lyrium Blackwood,
But.....
"This surname, Blackwood, it's....kind of familli-"
'Slam!'
Lyrium was cut off by the sound coming from the door, someone was entering the room, but who?
'Probably Doctors, if I am in a hospital.'
A lady rushed towards the bed Lyrium was sitting and stood in front of him,
As she gazed lovingly at the boy, her eyes shone with a mix of joy, relief, and tears.
Her face, etched with the fine lines of worry and sleepless nights, still radiated a gentle beauty.
Her raven-black hair, now streaked with subtle threads of silver, framed her face with a soft elegance.
Her slender fingers, red and swollen from countless hours of holding the boy's hand, now trembled with emotion as she reached out to touch his face.
Her eyes, those brilliant emerald green orbs, sparkled with unshed tears as she whispered his name, her voice barely audible.
" Ly-rium...."
But to Lyrium, the lady in front of him was just another stranger,
She then stretch out her hands as she reach out towards Lyrium and, to Lyrium surprise, she embraced him gently hugging him in her arms.
There was a hint of mixed feelings, the sensation and the warmth Lyrium thought could never get again, his mind was going blank and he was confused,
But his heart melted as the woman gently touch his face with her soft and gentle hands,
'This.....what's this feeling?'
Lyrium was confused and something was pulling him not to say any other words and just stay still, but he ignored it and slowly pushed the lady,
"Ma'am, d-do I know you?" Lyrium asked gently staring at her green emerald eyes.
Upon hearing Lyrium's words, she stared at him somewhat incredulously, and replied softly,
" Lyrium.....What are you talking about?"
Then, a person wearing lab coat and round glasses not older than 30 years entered the room,
"Don't worry it's not what you think it is. His memories are not loss nor he have an amnesia. Due to being in coma for 1 week, his memories will be dull to remember and and will be hard for him to remember. To make it simple his memories are like scattered.....thoughout his entire brain system and nerves,"
Upon hearing the doctor statement, she stared at Lyrium and said,
"I am your mother Lyrium, Lilian Blackwood"
When he heard her last words, his eyes widen in disbelief.
'N-No way, she's Lilian Blackwood.....the mother of one of the female lead in Path of the Elemental sage and one of the richest woman in entire Eldrida and the owner of the crimson wood estate'
The richest woman in The path of the Elemental sage was now claiming that she is his mother,
'Yea-h, I remember now, mom- mother...."
He still didn't know what did the old Lyrium Blackwood refer to her mother as,
'did I make a mistake'
Lilian was staring at him in confusion and disbelief of what she had just heard. She heard Lyrium, her son refering to her as a mother for the first time in his life, of course she was shock.
In the past, whenever Lyrium called her, he always refer to her using her name or just called he using the word 'Hey'
But for the first time in her entire life, she finally hears her son calling her mother.
"W-What did you just say....?" She said softly towards Lyrium, stiiting besides him.
"Okay then, I'll give you two some times alone, but please make it quick" The doctor said smiling softly and exit the room
Ignoring the words of the doctor, Lilian placed her left hands in Lyrium's forewood to check if he has high temperature
"...Lyrium, did you have fever?"
'....'
Lyrium just stared at her mother confused, but then, at that moment a new screen pops up in front of him, not the status window screen, but
The...

The sudden appearance of the system make Lyrium panicked,
'!!'
'Whoa.....what the hell is this thing now?!'
Lyrium said as he place his finger on his chin making a confuse face
"...oh right, did you get the message from the academy?"
She was reffering to the message he got from the academy for passing the entrance exam.
"Mhm" Lyrium simply nodded as he show her his phone
Lilian was a minor character in the Path of the Elemental sage, in the novel she had a kind of rude, cold, heartless and demonour aura around her whenever he talk to someone or pass,
But....
The version of Lilian in front of him was really different, instead of the cold and Demonour aura.
It was replaced with a warm and inviting aura, as if her very presence was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Her smile, bright and genuine, was the first thing to catch attention, followed by the sparkle in her eyes that hinted at a deep-seated joy.
Her entire being seemed to vibrate at a frequency of happiness, as if she were humming a gentle melody that harmonized with the world around her.
Her presence was a reminder that joy is contagious, and that sometimes, all it takes is one person to brighten an entire room.
'~Bzzt ~Bzzt'
Then, Lilian phone rang on her pocket as she tried to ignored the call Lyrium told her to picked up
"Picked it up mom, it could be important"
Lilian upon hearing her son's words rame out her phone from her bag and picked up the call.
"Hello....what is it, Alfred?"
[Ah....Lady Lilian, it's the time for the meeting]
As the words cut through the air, Lilian entire demeanor shifted, like a sudden eclipse blocking out the warm sunlight.
Her smile faltered, and her eyes, once bright and sparkling, turned cold and hard, like two glittering shards of ice.
Her aura, once a warm and inviting glow, began to chill and darken, like a winter's night descending upon the land.
The air around her seemed to vibrate with an ominous energy, as if the very presence of evil had awakened, responding to the words that had been spoken.
Her posture stiffened, her shoulders squaring, and her head lifting, like a challenge being issued to the universe itself.
Her eyes flashed with a malevolent intensity, and her voice, once melodious and sweet, dropped to a low, husky growl, sending shivers down the spines of those around her.
In that moment, she was transformed, her aura now a dark and foreboding presence, as she massage her forehead with her fingers.
After looking at the stiffened looked of Lilian, Lyrium felt his body sweating and thought
'I think, the novel Lilian and the current Lilian are still resembers each other'
The phone call end as Lilian accepted the meeting and put her phone on her pocket once again.
"Sigh....Lyrium, the academy will start in 2 week right?" She said after letting out a sigh
"Y-Yeah...." Lyrium said still sweating and stared at her
'Maaaan, she's scary"
"Okay...I've already transferred 300 billion into your bank account for the academy and all use with to buy things or do whatever you want, I'll be off to Eldrida for some meeting....."
".....oh and don't forget to call your sister"
She said as she stand up and walk towards Lyrium, she formed a smiled and kiss his-forehead,
"....ha...Okay then meet up with you sister when you get discharged" Lilian said as she waved at Lyrium and exit the room leaving only Lyrium completely alone.
"She is giving me the 300 billion like some kind of monthly pocket money to their childrens"
"Wellll....now.....what should we do with this thing....." He said as he stared at the thing that was in front of him
