Chapter 10 magic and soul arts
A/n: happy Easter! I think it's time for Louise to undergo a change in appearance wouldn't you say? All comments are welcome here so have at it. Also, Sorry for going into so much detail about some things in here. But I really really just love detail in my stories!
-Louise's room-
Louise was still asleep in her bed as she had the covers over her body. She moved a bit over to the side as she wanted to get close to Eli, Only, She felt nothing. Louise then started to awake from her slumber as she looked over at the other half of her bed.
"Eli?" Louise said as she then looked over to the pile of hay to not see him there either. Louise looked at her room to not see him at all, Louise then got out of bed as she walked over to the door and opened it. She looked to the right and she didn't hear Blake or Kyan at all.
"Hmmm, Maybe Vendrick had to see them perhaps" Louise thought as she closed her door and began to get ready for breakfast, However as she walked past her mirror she instantly walked back to it.
"What!? What is?! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR!?" Louise yelled at the top of her lungs as she went over to her mirror. She put one of her hands through her now faintly dark reddish pink hair, She then noticed as she was stroking her hair, Her nails were now long, Sharp, And pitch black like the midnight sky. Louise then looked at both of her hands to see that both of her hands were like this. She looked at herself in the mirror and almost gasped.
Her body now had curves, A size 12 in fact. She then placed her hands on the side of her hips as she slowly moved them downward. She was still in shock, But at the same time a little happy at this, Louise then turned around as she looked at the back of herself. She no longer had a small figure like before, She was almost on par with her family rival Kirche, But she dismissed that completely. She now saw that her butt wasn't it's petite shape anymore. It was now an amazon shape, Louise just blinked at this as she then turned herself around.
"Okay...as much as I like this humongous growth spurt. This has to be a dream! This just has to be! I mean, How can-" Louise stopped speaking as she then noticed that the top of her small nightgown had two large lumps up top. Louise just looked down and almost had her mouth hanging at what she noticed. She had breasts! She wasn't an A-size anymore, She had actual large breasts. Louise then placed her hands on her newly large chest as she felt them. They were an E-size! They weren't nearly as large as Kirche's who had an H-size pair, But they were more than enough for her to handle.
Louise just kept feeling herself up as she then actually smirked at this little bonus, But her smile soon turned sour. "I guess I'll have to get my uniform adjusted now...as well as new clothes too" she said "But I can feel them, Their real...so that means...that means that this...this isn't a dream". Louise then realized that she was wasting time as she then remembered that she had to get ready for breakfast.
"Ah! I'll be late for breakfast! I have to get ready and-wait! I can't wear my uniform with a body like this! Dammit! To get a growth spurt at a time like this!" She said in frustration as she then thought about the outcome of her situation.
"Okay, If I go to breakfast like this. I'll be getting the attention of almost every single male student in the hall. Not only that, But it will make some of the girls jealous, Especially that tramp Zerbst". That last part struck with Louise as a wicked smile came to light across her face, She had always wanted to get back at Kirche Von Anhalt Zerbst. And now, Thanks to this new body of hers, She had a chance if not by a bit much since she was popular by all of the second and first year boys, And hated with envy by the girls minus her friends Tabitha and Montmorency.
She nodded at her plan but then thought of her familiars.
"Wait! What about Blake, Kyan, And Eli?! What would they say to me if they were to see me like this!? Kyan I already know his answer. But what about Blake and Eli? Would...would they be disappointed in me? Blake might probably get upset over my new look, And Eli...would he...would he not look at me again the same way? Would he hate me? Would he ever want to talk to me ever again?".
Louise was then starting to worry about it, Blake she could handle him a bit if he was disappointed in her, But Eli was her absolute favorite! She always liked it whenever he cared about her, How he made sure to defend her at all costs, Everything he for her she adored him for it. She liked him for that, But if he saw her like this then his views on her would surely change. Louise just had her head hanging low at the thought of it.
'Please don't hate me Eli' she thought as she started to tear up.
-the fifth building-
Vendrick, Aldia, Nashandra, Blake, Eli, And Kyan were walking into the building up a flight of steps. Aldia was reading over the book of soul arts as they walked. "Alright" Aldia said "The first thing will do is use soul sense to see if you three have any powerful souls within you when you were summoned here by Louise".
"Soul sense?" Kyan said.
"Yes" Aldia said as he kept reading "This is one of many traits that the book of soul arts explains". "Could you explain the other forms of the traits to us please?" Eli asked him. Aldia turned to Eli and nodded at him.
"Of course my boy" Aldia said as he began:
"Soul sense: This ability has the power to sense other powerful soul within another person. It also has the ability to sense when another person is in danger as well, And will guide you to their location to aid them. This ability activates in two ways. One is by sensing danger of another soul carrier, The other way is by soul pulse. Soul pulse is when the soul within oneself sends sense waves, Trying to activate itself and sense other souls in the process.
Soul traits: this one is simple. Once a person has a powerful soul within them, Be it lord or not. The soul of the past original owner starts to change their host in a variety of ways. For example, Say a human had the soul of a dragon. The soul would begin to change their physical form, Like covering the body in scales of changing the eyes to that of the original owner. Small little changes nevertheless. But unfortunately permanent.
Soul power: This also ties with soul traits in a sense of the way. Soul power is when you obtain the powers of the original soul owner. Like their weapons, spells, Pets, Resistances, Armor, Army, The list goes on. This can be used to your advantage with enough training and practice.
Soul steal: this is a more deadly type of skill, For this is the only way to obtain another's soul. This skill will immediately kill a person once their soul has been taken from them, With the soul removed the user who removed said soul may then use soul form to create something out of that soul.
Soul form: this is another basic explanation. Once you have a soul in your possession, You are free to either use soul bind and bind it with another person, Or create something out of it. What you do with that soul is up to you.
Soul bind: and lastly there is soul bind. With this ability you can give anyone a powerful soul, Regardless of what it is. And bind it to them. However once you have bound that person with that soul, It's permanently stuck with them until death. You also can't bind no more than one soul to a person, So no two souls or more can bind with a single being.
After Aldia finished with explaining everything on the basics he turned to the boys "Any questions?" He asked them. The three just looked at each other then back at him, Blake then spoke up.
"I have one, Aldia" Blake said.
"Very well, Blake. What is your question?" Aldia said.
"If we don't have a powerful soul within us, Then will this impede on us learning magic?".
Aldia chuckled a little bit at his comment "Heh, No no my boy" he said "Even if you don't have a powerful soul within you, You can still perform magic without one. We'll show you once we get to the top". The six made their way to the top as Vendrick opened the door as they all entered the large room as Vendrick closed the door. Aldia then looked at the boys "Now, Please stand in a line and we can get started with the soul sense" Aldia said. The boys did as he asked and stood in a line.
Aldia then looked at the book of soul arts as he flipped to the soul sense ability. He may not have had a powerful soul as his brother or nephews, But the book of soul arts still allowed one without a strong soul to still use the ability. Aldia then landed to the soul sense ability page as he then cleared his mind and got started. He then held out his hand as his hand began to glow, That's when the boy's bodies started to glow as well as a large energy was surrounding them. Nashandra and Vendrick could then feel their soul sense go off within themselves.
Aldia glanced over at them as he saw them place their hands on their chest as he looked at the boys who looked at the energy around them, That's when their soul sense went off as well as they placed their hands on their chest as well.
Aldia smiled "Ahh, Then you feel it" he said "It looks like you three have strong souls when you came through the portal. That's good, But we can talk about that latter. Right now we have to start with the magic training. Brother, The notes". Vendrick then walked over to them as he pulled out the notes from his robe "Here are some of the spells that I was able to remember from memory" he said "Using the spells will be easy if you have a clear mind and focus on that spell. Nothing too serious about that".
"Not really" Kyan said "It sounds super easy kinda".
"It is" Aldia said "Now! I can teach the three of you pyomancies, The chaotic art of Fire magic. Vendrick can teach you three sorceries, The art of soul magic. And lastly, Nashandra can teach you miracles, The divine art of white magic. Now -ahem- she does however know of a kind of secret forth magic set. One that is considered in the age of Fire as hexes or abyss magic, Or in this day in age dark magic".
Nashandra had a tic mark on her head as she raised her right hand and looked over at Aldia. "Dark edge!" Nashandra shouted as huge dark blade came forth above her head as she slammed it down at Aldia, Aldia saw the attack however and backed up from her.
"Dammit Nashandra!" Aldia said.
"Hey! I'll let them decide on if they want to do hexes Aldia!" Nashandra said as she turned her attention to the boys who were both amazed and terrified at how powerful the attack was. Nashandra then had a look of worry "Oh boys, Don't be afraid of what you just saw" she said sweetly "But Aldia is right, I can also teach you three hexes, That is...if you would like-".
"I wanna learn that!" Eli said with excitement on his face.
Nashandra was in shock, She would have expected Blake or Kyan to take up the offer, But she didn't expect for her youngest son to take it. Nashandra was absolutely worried about this. "Eli..are you sure that you want to learn hexes as your first choice of magic?" She asked him worriedly, Eli nodded his head as he stepped forward. "Yes I do! I wanna learn hexes first! But only 6 spells at least if that's okay" he said.
Nashandra sighed in relief a bit, She was still hesitant of teaching him hexes, But it thankfully wouldn't be a whole set of only hexes. Nashandra walked over to Eli as she smiled at him. "Very well Eli" she said as Vendrick handed her the notes for her to look over, She saw that some hexes were on there, But thankfully only two of them she liked were also on the notes. "Eli, How does profound still and vow of silence sound?" She asked him.
Eli smiled at those spells "Those sound awesome! What are they?".
"Profound still and vow of silence are hex type spells. Profound still cancels an opponents magic entirely until the original caster of the spell disables it, It causes the person unable to do magic at all. The same is with vow of silence, Only it not only does the same
Thing, But it affects the user as well. But thankfully the user can still cancel it. To cancel it, All you have to do is just snap your fingers, Simple and easy to use, As well as cause a bunch of pranks. These are both my favorite hexes".
Eli was amazed, A spell that could outright cancel ones magic entirely. This gave Eli a wicked idea on who to use it on as soon as he learned it. That's when Aldia raised his hand to make a wooden dummy appear in the center of the room.
"Will use this to test your magic spells, This test dummy only knows the spell force, So you'll have nothing to worry about if you get hurt. Now, Just clear your mind and focus on the spell that you want to learn. Simple and easy" Aldia said. Nashandra looked at Eli and smiled at him "You can do It Eli, Just focus on the profound still spell first" she said as she backed away from him so he could begin. Eli sighed as he looked at the dummy and pointed his finger at it.
"Okay -deep breath- profound still" he said. As soon as he said that, A small dark violet came from his finger tip as a dark aura then surrounded the dummy. The dummy then tried to perform the force spell but couldn't as it then tired over and over again to do it. Eli smiled as he then raised his hand in the air.
"Dark edge!" He said.
"Wait a minute Eli!" Nashandra said "That spell is a bit to-" however her words were cut short when she saw Eli perform the same large blade of darkness came forth as he then swung it down on the dummy, Knocking it out. Eli smiled with excitement as the dark blade disappeared. Everyone in the room was in absolute shock, Eli had just performed two spells on his first try.
"E-Eli...h-how the hell did you pull that off on your first go!?" Kyan said as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Eli just looked at his brother and rubbed the back of his head. "Heh heh, Well Aldia said to clear our minds, I kinda did the opposite and thought of someone instead to calm my inner thoughts and thought of the spell all at once, And boom! Two spells used in one go!" Eli said happily as he looked at Aldia, Nashandra, And Vendrick "Did I do good on my first try?".
The three were still in shock but they then came to their senses, Aldia was impressed by how quickly Eli pulled off the two spells "Good? That was incredible! I've managed to pull off two spells in your first try! I guess this won't take up as much time as I thought" he said as he looked at the others "Are you both ready Blake and Kyan?". The two looked at each other then smirked as they looked at Aldia.
"You bet!" They said.
A/n: done! Okay! This should be easy for them to learn magic. I hope, Eli will be the more easier ones to pull off doing magic since he thought of that little trick to help him. So the next chapter will be with Blake and Kyan doing some magic. And If you have a problem with how I made Louise, Then by all means look at one of he descriptions that I made on soul traits.
Night.
