The three samples had been stored so that the life force in the blood couldn’t dissipate and allowed Faluel to perform Blood Resonance magic. The discipline invented by Duke Marth, the current Headmaster of the White Griffon, required the whole subject to be employed, but the Awakened had improved it. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Faluel used the tier five spell to stir Lith’s life force, separate it in all of its components, and amplify each one of the energy signatures to their utmost limit.
The red energy of Lith’s human side burned as bright as a star and emitted a fine mist that spread throughout the hall of the Council. It touched all of those present, Guardians included, giving no reaction.
The vials belonging to his parents, instead, resonated with the red light and further amplified it as they shone of their own radiance.
"Suck it! I told you it’s an anomaly." Leegaain’s words caused more groans as huge sums of Adamant, white crystals, and even Davross moved from one person to another.
"How dare you placing bets on my bloodline?" He didn’t know whether to be more outraged by the bets or by the fact that no one seemed to listen to him anymore.
The black light of the Abomination spread as well, but it reacted to no one. Then, it was the turn of the blue-violet Emperor Beast life force. It spread slowly, overpowering the others that were already fading away.
The moment it touched Elina’s and Raaz’s blood, they emitted a very faint yet still discernible light, confirming once again that they were his parents. Strengthened by the resonance effect, the blue-violet light moved forward until it enveloped the entire room.
Leegaain and Salaark emitted a bright pillar of light while the bookmakers handed the magical goods to their rightful owners.
"What? This can’t be right!" Leegaain refused to believe such a result and cast the spell on his own, yet nothing changed.
Salaark was equally flabbergasted, but she couldn’t care less.
"We’ve had more than one fling over the years." She pondered out loud, adding more fuel to the flames.
"Hahaha! I knew it! Fire and darkness could only come from one possible combination." Inxialot the Lich King said, checking his ledger to make sure that nothing was amiss.
"Indeed. The Origin Flames made it even more obvious." Feela the Behemoth said while splitting their pay-outs. The two of them were the only ones that had bet to such a combination, earning massive profits.
"Remember your promise, or I will hold you responsible." Tyris congratulated Salaark before leaving.
"This cannot be! No!" Leegaain shapeshifted back into a Dragon in despair, yelling at the tops of his lungs until the mass of cigars, flowers, and blue ribbons muffled his scream.
***
Teraka mountain range, a few days later.
Completely unaware of who had been the unwilling donors for his Emperor Beast side, Lith had kept teaching chore magic to the children. After they had thoroughly mastered the basics of air and water, they had learned about light and earth.
Lith had kept darkness and fire for last because of the danger they posed even in their chore magic form. Aran and Leria might easily hurt each other if they lost control of their respective spells since they had to remain close to Lith so that he could follow their progress.
"I’d say to wrap this up for the morning." He said as Leria tried and failed to make a hologram while Aran was amid tall grass, using darkness magic to affect solely the mosquitos that tried to bite him.
