Chapter 6: staying at the palace
I waited for them to get done talking to each other as they where talking I looked at the lightning that is dancing over my body I can feel it's excitement and eagerness to be unleashed I try to calm it down and promise to use it often then I thank it for letting me wield it and for listening to me
It gets a little more excited crawling over my body then a little spark licks my cheek and I feel a little tingling sensation then it calms down and just crawls slowly over me I smile at this because I did think it would really respond because I said all this in my head I would have talked out loud but i didn't want to look crazy I'll tell Elise what happened later
I look back to them to see if they are done talking they seem to have just got done so I ask " you keep saying quirk what is that but what is it " they both to me " a quirk is someone innate ability something they are born with and all are unique a quirk can be anything to being able to snap someone out of existence to just be able to dry up a puddle they very in power and ability but only very very few people are born with them and it can be very hard to know if you have one just because it's innate doesn't mean you know you have one"
He continues " but it know that most travelers have a quirk it just a matter of figuring out what it is that's why we think it's your control over you elements you shouldn't be able to do what you did after just forming the bond it's like you meeting a strange and him telling you to do something and you do it no questions asked it should have taken more time for it to get familiar to you before be able to do that "
"Exactly even you body seems fine it should have got a bit of backlash from trying to do that so soon but you seem fine" Elise chipped in I look at them for a few seconds thinking " well I guess that's fair I'm not completely fine I am feeling tired and hungry from doing plus all I did was call lightning and manipulate gravity which was all ready there so it wasn't that hard and I got backlash last I'm because I tried making a black hole by forcing all the matter to a single point " I said to them
"That's not the point it shouldn't listen to you at all!" Elise yelled in disbelief of what I was saying rubs her head with her hand I then smirked " o I see now your just jealous that the mana loves me at first sight and it took you a few years" she looks up with a raised eyebrow"what did you say" I keep looking at her with my smirk " you heard me your jealous that it loves me more" then I gasp in shock and hold a hand to my chest " your not jealous that it loves me your jealous that you not the only one that does anymore"
She looks at me intensely then her right eye twitches then I feel my life is threatened and I quickly use lightning to enhanced my body and dodge to the left I look where I just was and my face paled because a giant ice spike was there I looked back to Elise but she was suddenly in front of me
My eyes widened and I jumped back quickly and looked at her with a wronged expression " you almost killed me" she looks at me with a murderous smile and said " what didn't you say that the mana loves you that should have been nothing for you how about we have another no limits this time " right now she looks like a angry dragon ready to burn me to nothing " no..no I'm sorry I didn't mean it you made very clear you don't love me" I say as I slowly back way like she is a predator and I need to slowly move away she looks at me with a angered expression now " oh no you don't get to get out of this that easily come here let me show you how much I love you" she said as she started walking quickly over to me and I stared at her for a me seconds and thought "this bitch is crazy!" And I started running away but be for I do the floor below me freezes and I slip on my back and before I know it Elise is on top of me pinning me to the floor
" Where do you think your going the fun hasn't even begun " she said with a smile and a crazy look in her eye I stared at her for a few seconds honestly a little scared and turned on at the same time " fine you can have me you hethin take my body as a apology please be gentle it's my first time" I say and lay my head down in defeat she looks at me for a little bit blushing then rolls her eyes and get up and starts to leave the room " you take care of this fool I can't deal with him right now " she said to zamel then leaves the room
When she is gone I chuckle zamel looks at me "she does like you too you know " he said to me and I look at him hesitant to say how I feel but decided it's probably good to God knows I need help " maybe I want to believe that but I got burned a little to many times so I'm a little hesitant plus I've never been good at talking to people and that goes double for women I like so it's hard for me like what I just did I would have never done in my world or even find myself in a situation that could happen in so everything I'm doing is just what feels right I'm basically just winging it and hoping not to fuck it all up" I say to him
He looks at me and sighs " well I'm not sure what I can say it's been so long since I lost my love and I never searched for a new one so I can't really give any advice other than follow you heart but I can tell that she is a very kind and caring girl although she can be ruthless at times she is a great woman so just keep doing what you are she seems to be responding well to it and for what it's worth I'm rooting for you seem like a good person at least better then the other suitors so good luck lad... now lets continue with your training " he said
I nodded and I continued to hit dummies and do other techniques to help my bond with mana grow and after a few hours I was exhausted " Alright that's enough for today you can go to your room and clean up and wait for dinner he and I nod and make my way to my room and to my bathroom which was surprisingly modern there's a toilet and shower with a sink in the corner all wood of course don't ask me how or why
And there are runes near each one which control what and temperature and there is a bright blue rune in the middle of the room this is where some with water element comes and charged it with you guessed it water element then I took a shower and rested after put on some clothes that where in my room When I got there but there was a familiar scent in the air when I got I guess that's partly where she was when she left she is very sweet to think of this for me
I smile and rest until it was dinner time I didn't need some one to lead me there at this point knew where I was going it was a little freaky how fast I learned my way around here I feel very comfortable here like I'm at home but I'm not I'm in a elven palace in a whole new world maybe even a new universe and here am going to have dinner with the king and queen of the elves how did things end like this I wonder sometimes then I shake my head and push open the doors to the dining room where the king and queen are there with Elise and zamel like usual
I entered with a green silk like shirt and pants which are a little tight I hope it's not to noticeable and I bowed then I sat at the end of the table like last time and we all started to eat
After a little bit the queen said " I'm sorry if your disappointed about not having breakfast with us we sent someone to get you but you were still asleep and they couldn't wake you" ilook at her and shake my head " no it's alright I know I'm a heavy sleeper plus I needed too sleep it was a long day for me yesterday" she nods at what I say and continued eating
Sometime later the also said something " I heard you have been doing great at the training hall I heard you spared against our daughter and even put up a good fight even had excellent control" so might be worried that he knows that but I just feel he is try to make small talk I nod " yes it went very well I got too fight with a wepon I love and use my magic which is one of the things I have fall in love with since I got here" I say with a smile
And the king nods seeming glad I'm enjoying my stay here then the queen looks at me teasingly " and what are some of the other things you have fall in love with since you gor here" she said teasingly and my face goes a little red and I sneakily look at Elise and see her blushing slightly I open my mouth to reply but Elise cut me of "mmmmm this is great mom whatever you guys put in it is fantastic" she said after taking a bite of meat
I nodded taking the bail out " yes this is delicious please give my compliments to the chief it's really good" I say and stared eating so I can't answer her
The queen chucked see our antics " while thank you I'm glad you like everything I'm one the chiefs since I like to have a hand in the cooking of my family's food I'll let the others know to she said and went back to eating and the rest of the dinner was uneventful then I made my way back to my room
and just like that a few days go by
