Chereads / The garden of Zores / Chapter 2 - Awakening

Chapter 2 - Awakening

Their House was in a town named Marle near a city. 

Just as the breakfast was ready he called for little sister Maria who was sleeping in the room. After receiving no answer. He washed his hands and went to the room. Maria was all curled up in her blanket. With a bright smile on his face he called

"Maria wake up oor you will miss the school and breakfast will get cold."

Maria with half closed eyes sat and asked 

"Brother is not today Saturday, school is closed today "

"oh" said Zores with a moment of surprise, it was as Maria said. He replied "Ok, but wake up or you will get your breakfast cold". He said it while tiding Marias tangled hairs. Maria now fully awake rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Seeing this Zores could not help but smile with a bit of pride in her sister. After they had done their breakfast, they sat in living room where Maria started playing with her dolls while Zores immersed himself in the introductive book for abilities, just as he was past the first page, a knock was heard on the door, a sweat sound came

"its me Aisha, Maria open the door"

just as the sound came Maria bloomed with a smile and ran very fast to open the door. After opening the door a very beautiful white haired youth appeared. Maria hugged her full of energy and said:

" I missed you very much"

"I missed you too, my little sweetie pie "

Zores was seeing this calmly. Aisha was their neighbor and has known them since birth, she was just a few months older then him, a few months ago she had received the summoning ability. She could summon spirits who fight against the monsters or do other things on her behalf. 

When Aisha saw him looking at her, she said with a smile "its been a long time we have seen each other". To her Zores was her closest friend they were friends since childhood, and four years of living together made their bond quite strong.

After some chatter they sat in the garden where Aisha summoned a wind spirit, seeing it Maria bloomed with a smile. Aisha focused on Zores and said "tomorrow is a big day for you, tell me if you want anything". He replied "I don't want anything specially".

After a few more chatter Aisha returned to her house and Maria went along her. Before they left Aisha reassured Zores that what ever ability does he receive she will always support them. Zores again focused on introductive booklet about abilities.

Abilities were divided into three categories, firstly combat related abilities like body strengthening ,fire magic and like. secondly profession related abilities like craftmanship, alchemy, appraisal , etc. Then the remaining less known abilities were called unique abilities. Abilities were not given any ranks as each ability can grow with hard work.

The day ended with their normal routine with nothing out of ordinary. After Maria went to sleep. Zores walked into the garden and nervously waited for the awakening. How can he not be nervous?, his life depended on it. When the time reached 1:00 a system notification like game panel floated in front of him. Saying 

"CONGRATULATIONS ON AWAKENING"

"YOU HAVE RECIEVED THE ABILITY: MAGICAL GARDEN"

Zores was quite confused, it was the first time he has ever listened about this ability. He called for his status and looked for the details of his ability 

MAGICAL GARDEN level 1: 

"You can designate a garden field and cultivate plants in it from the given list

[list]"

Looking at it Zeros was a little disappointed, it did not look any thing out of ordinary but there was nothing he can do about it. Then he focused on the good side of the ability, with this ability he can make some money, and he could live a slow life until some tragedy falls upon them.

Before returning to his, he decided to try his ability first, when he thought of using his ability a system voice rang in his head, asking him to designate a 3m x 1m area for the garden. hearing it he hurriedly designated the corner of the garden. To his surprise the soil of the designated area became suddenly fertile
