Elder Seraphina gazed at the trio with eyes full of curiosity and intrigue as she watched them. She moved gracefully into the room, every step exuding an air of timeless wisdom. As she settled into an empty chair, the atmosphere within the treehouse became charged with anticipation.
Elder Thalos, showing deep respect, spoke, "My dear Seraphina, what are your thoughts on these three children and the young warriors who have shown remarkable determination in seeking power to seek revenge and protect the world from the cult's darkness?"
Seraphina's eyes drifted over to Zero, Kale, Maia, and Luna. Her gaze lingered on each of them, as if she were assessing their very souls. She spoke with a gentle voice that conveyed her long life's wisdom. "The path you've chosen is not an easy one. To confront the darkness that seeks to awaken Seth, the Evil God, you will need strength, wisdom, and guidance."
"Holy Mama Miya, such a beautiful lady!" Kale exclaimed, breaking the silence.
"This idiot," Maia said as she punched Kale on the head for being a idiot.
Zero, who had been bowing, suddenly raised his head to meet Lady Seraphina's gaze, his voice filled with a mix of eagerness and doubt. "We're willing to do whatever it takes to stop the cult and protect this world. But we know we're not strong enough. Can you help us, Elder Seraphina?"
Seraphina's lips curled into a faint smile. "Strength is not solely measured by one's power or abilities, young one. It also resides in one's heart and spirit. To become strong, you must first understand yourself, your limitations, your fears, and your aspirations."
She turned to Maia, who was listening intently. "And you, dear, have your own fears, I sense. Confronting the darkness will force you to face them. But remember, your weaknesses can be your greatest source of strength once you conquer them."
Maia nodded, determination flickering in her eyes. "I'm willing to face my fears if it means protecting my friends."
Luna, who had been quiet until now, looked up with a mixture of curiosity and hope. "Grandma Seraphina, can you teach them the Drune Technique just like you taught Uncle Lucas?"
Elder Seraphina, irked by being called "grandma," responded, "Ah, my cute little Luna. Yes, I can teach them the Drune Technique. But, Maia, dear, I'm sorry; you are not suitable to learn the Drune Technique."
"The-the-then I'm nnnnot gogo... ss... What am I going to do now?" Maia asked, sounding nervous and almost on the verge of tears because of what Elder Seraphina said.
"I'm not saying you can't become strong; it's just that I'm not suitable to be your teacher because you don't have an aura; you have Mana," explained Seraphina.
"Mana?" Maia said, surprised and curious.
"I have a friend from outside the village. She is a human Mage, and she is old-school (chuckle). Though she might have a temper, she is a good mentor for you after all. She's as strong as me. I will tell her tomorrow for you, Maia," said Elder Seraphina.
"Thank you, Lady Seraphina," Maia said, expressing her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
Elder Seraphina turned her attention to Kale. "For you, Kale, you have a talent for learning this Drune Technique. It feels like the spirits favor you. Quite interesting."
Kale couldn't help himself and boasted, "Well, hehehe, it's because I am the king, the benevolent, and the hottest guy on Earth. Hehehehe." He daydreamed about being adored by countless girls. "Kyahhh, so cool and handsome, Kyah, Kale-sama."
Seraphina continued, "But the Drune technique you're going to learn is the Spear Drune."
Kale eagerly said, "Spear Drune, wow, cool!"
Lastly, Seraphina addressed Zero, "This Zero kid, his power, why can't I see it? His potential is shrouded in mystery. I don't even know if he can learn the Drune technique or not. His soul and body seem like an abyss, limitless, a limitless abyss."Thought to himself
Elder Seraphina decided to have a private conversation with Elder Thalos later about Zero.
"Elder Seraphina, what about me?" Zero asked, feeling nervous and anxious about what Elder Seraphina might say.
Well, ahem," Elder Seraphina cleared her throat, "Well, you have a knack for Drune technique," she said, much to Zero's relief.
Zero clenched his hands, determined, thinking, "This is my first step towards revenge and protecting this world."
Zero then said, "We are ready to learn, Elder Seraphina. We will do whatever it takes to protect our world and stop the cult."
Elder Seraphina nodded, "Very well. You've shown your resolve, and I believe you all have the potential to become formidable warriors. Training will be demanding and may challenge your very being, but I will be there to guide you every step of the way."
"This reminds me of when I was a kid," Lucas said, reminiscing about the past with his brother (Lavine), Luna's father, when they trained together.
The atmosphere in the treehouse was charged with anticipation once more. Elder Thalos nodded in approval, recognizing the significance of Seraphina's words. "Then it is settled. You three will begin your training, each on your unique path to strength and wisdom."
As he said this, the room seemed to brighten, and a sense of hope washed over the young warriors. They had embarked on a path that would test their strength, their bonds, and their character.
To Be Continued.
