3063 Untapped Potential (Part 1)
Once infused with the bloodline ability from Ryla's silver eye, the mana of any light element spell would keep being diluted in world energy until it lost cohesion and the spell degraded into formless energy.
"I don't get what I'm doing wrong." Lith looked at Solus who shook her head.
Even with the Eyes, the process was a mystery. They had no data about Ryla's mana organs and when Lith manipulated the energy with his own silver eye, the number of variables more than doubled.
"And we can't help you unless you teach us Light Mastery." Morok sighed. He didn't even try to ask for lessons, knowing Lith would rather walk out. "Let's move on to darkness."
The final element turned out to be a massive failure. They just stood there, enveloped in creeping shadows until they ran out of ideas.
"Solus?" Lith asked.
"Still no clue, sorry." Aside from the raw mass of darkness element and world energy, there was nothing for the Eyes to pick up.
"No problem." He sighed. "Before we give up for today, I'd like to try something."
Lith walked to Valeron and offered him a hand. The baby boy grabbed it and after the Dragon scales relayed the message, he gave Lith as much Life Maelstrom as he could.
"Thank you, son. I'll make good use of it." Lith caressed Valeron's cheek who replied with a happy:
"Papa!"
"Dya!" Elysia grumbled, angry for being still incapable of emitting non-draconic complex sounds.
"Don't be jealous, sweetie." Kamila said. "Valeron is older than you. It's natural that he speaks better."
"Ba." Elysia could faintly grasp the concept but it didn't make her feel better one bit.
"Mama!" Valeron giggled while looking at Kamila with his round silver eyes.
"Thank you, sweetie." She peppered his head with kisses, knowing how much feeling accepted by his new family meant to the baby boy.
"Ba!" Elysia glared at Valeron in outrage, engaging him in a staring contest for almost five seconds before they fell asleep as one.
"Why didn't you do that during our first sessions?" Morok asked since it was the first time he saw the little Valeron use one of his bloodline abilities aside from Origin Flames.
"Do you think it's easy to explain to a child so young what a bloodline ability is and how to use it without hurting himself or others?" Lith replied. "It took me days to reach this point.
"Babies are not fond of training and have an attention span shorter than yours."
"Hey!" Kamila and the Tyrant said in unison, but for completely different reasons.
"Don't drag the children in your crazy schedule. They are infants!" Kamila said.
