Meadow in Ionia

A small blue orb floated around the boy and fox, both of which were watching with awe. The controller of magical spectacle was non-other than the boy's mother, her grey eyes shined as he moved the orb without effort.

The woman then snapped her fingers, causing the orb to slowly stretch. It stretched and stretched until it split into two. The two orbs then begun circling each other, moving her fingers the orbs moved towards Flare and Riah. It hovered in front of the two, before bopping them on their nose. The fox yipped out in surprised while the boy wrinkled his nose with a 'Nyeh.

The woman laughed as she retracted the orbs, making them float by her hand. Flare looked at his mother with a small pout. Her response was to float to orb between his eyes, forcing him to cross them to look at it, before it bopped him once more. Much to Flare annoyance.

"Mooooom" he whined, causing both his mother and father to laugh. He swatted the orb away before scooting away from it. His mother merely moved to her next target. Yelps from the fox were heard as she used both of the orbs to repeatedly bop Riah. She scrambled away from them to hide behind Flare's back.

The woman laughed once more, while her husband shook his head "I swear Gladys you never seem to act your age." Gladys raised an eyebrow while Flare and RIah looked at his father with wide open mouths.

"Really Harold?" She taunted as she snapped her fingers again, the orbs tripled in number. Harold sighed "You're only proving my point dear" he continued. Gladys narrowed her eyes and snapped her fingers once more, the orbs few towards her husband as high speed.

Harold quickly snapped his fingers. Six purple orbs met with his wife's, causing a small magical explosion. Flare 'Oh'd' at the display.

Once the explosion was gone Harold gave his wife a playfully stern look "Now Gladys, what did we talk about fighting in front of Flare?" He chided teasingly. Gladys rolled her eyes "Not to do it, dear husband" she answered mockingly. Still they manage to chuckle at each other's replies.

Flare however was preoccupied with casting spells like his parents, even Riah was astonished. And she's a fox. Looking at his hands he gathered what little mana he had and snapped his fingers. A small wisps of magic appeared from his hands, forming into a small ball before disappearing. This didn't went unnoticed by his parents.

"By jove, he can use magic!" Harold playfully exclaimed. Gladys smiled and ruffled Flare's hair, ignoring his cries "Well, well it seems that our little boy in going to be a great summoner someday if he can use magic at this age" she complimented. This made Flare gasp happily, which was accompanied by Riah's happy yip.

Both Gladys and Harold smiled as they watch their son continued practicing his magic, snapping his fingers again and again. Smiling whenever an orb held it's form. Only for his fox friend to leap at it, probably angry at the repeated bopping it received from Glady's.
