She took a deep breath, the motions she was supposed to make solidifying in her mind as she was about to begin. She narrowed her vision as she took the first step, moving several other parts of her in connected motion to smoothly lean forward into the cartwheel. She continued to somersault, flip, cartwheel again and finished with a tumble into a pose when she stood up.
Kazu was finished stretching and she felt in her physical prime as she finished the gymnastic program Ela had given to her. It was just another way to be in touch with her body, to be able to fully control it. There were several other ways Kazu was tasked with honing her connection with her body she had been doing, such as dance programs and other high intensity programs to ensure she was in tune with the more intricate movements of her body. Because as it was, Kazu was unable to produce results with real magic. It was sufficient in virtual reality and augmented reality to use the networks for creating magic, but real magic, the true intense use of energy, was difficult due to the discrepancy in ambient energy in the world around them. Producing excess energy to store away, so that she could use that energy in order to achieve results with magic.
The problem was that there just wasn't enough to sense in order to do anything, unless she reached into her own living energy to produce magic. That was already obviously a dangerous thing to attempt, because using internal energy could cause severe failure in a body when ambient energy wouldn't replace what was used. It could make her older, it could cause her internal organs to fail, it could disrupt her blood flow. There were several reasons to not attempt real life magic. Ela was teaching her the safe way to produce real life magic, but for the time being it would be on such a small scale Kazu would barely show more than an ember, or produce bubbles.
Producing expendable energy through use of physical energy, the expendable energy could be stored up through its own risk free source of magic. All that was required was a catalyst to store it. Such as a piece of jewelry, or a small personal belonging you always keep with you. For a person with vision impairment, they could store it within their glasses – the lenses or the frames.
"Now, fire."
Kazu collected the energy contained in the air put off from her physical exertion and turned it into a small ember in front of her face, enough that she wouldn't burn herself. It was a success. She was getting better at it.
"Excellent. You've been getting better and better at this, and you're getting equally better at moving your body. Any physical confrontations from now forward would be no issue for you."
Ela was proud of Kazu's progress.
"Now, I'm going to give you a tiny portion of the energy I've been storing up. Try to create a sword using your understanding of creation magic within Underworld now. You should be well enough versed in it to create a solid sword of any type out of this amount of energy."
Ela held out her left hand, palm down to drop it into Kazu's hand when she reached out to accept it. It was a coin that she dropped. A wooden coin long out of circulation. It could be worth a lot, or it could be worth nothing. Kazu could feel with the sense she had for magic, that she had more than enough energy to create exactly what Ela asked for. She pictured a katana, based the image of it on how she would hold it with her dominant hand. She gave it more detail, more depth, more mineral. She made the katana's blade as long as her entire arm from fingertip to shoulder. The handle was enough to fit both of her hands and a third of her hands so she had space to make full use of the handle space as she made full swings. She gave it a fine comfortable leather handle cover, with a finely ornate hand guard designed in the shape of a tiger and a tassel a bright red with a perfectly rounded tiger's eye gemstone adorning it. Her imagination produced the imagined results as she opened her eyes and the handle of the sword gently met with her open hand. She sighed in relief, thinking it might not work because it was finally reality, no network assistance to provide the results. Her AR was turned off, not even attached to her at the moment.
"Wonderful results. May I hold it for a moment to determine how fully you created it?"
Kazu nodded and handed it over. It was a heavy katana, but Ela was ready for any weight to reach her open hand. The sound of the handle meeting Ela's hand was different than Kazu was expecting. She expected to hear the usual clink of metal against metal with the connection of her hand and the rivets securing the handle and the blade together, but it was just the smooth connection of skin and leather of the handle.
Kazu had been wondering about how she was seeing Ela after the meeting with the world leadership representatives, that she was full of an indescribable amount of energy. But it seemed she was also becoming less robot and more human again. Or more something else. She had a living, breathing body again, was the point. It had only been a day since the meeting. They had been spending a lot more time in the server where they could experience more within less real time. It was to prepare for such things as what she was currently being tested on. Real magic.
"Incredibly solid. You're doing better and better at using small amounts of energy. Perhaps this is a result of giving you finer knowledge of what you're creating, but there's a lot of reason to refining control of this energy to such extent. Recall what I said yesterday at the meeting? How I could change the world within a week worth of time with the energy I've saved up? This is how. I've refined my knowledge on what I'm making to the point I could have more than enough energy left over to be fine, but using so much constantly over a week will require me to spend a lot of time recuperating physically. Especially since I've been working on giving myself a true body that won't require all the maintenance human bodies or crafted bodies would use. I assume you've noticed by now, that since yesterday I seem a lot more human to you. Even though yesterday I said a lot that dehumanizes me."
Kazu nodded, surprise still clinging to her face as she tried to simply respond.
"I-I recall...but how? How were you able to make your body different without changing to a different one entirely? You haven't been away long since yesterday at all..."
Ela winked and smiled as she began explaining.
"It's actually the most simple magic I've done yet. Comfort based magic. I simply spread the understanding of how my ideal body would work through everything I can feel, and it's been spreading on its own. For the time being I'm staying human in appearance, however I feel I'd resonate more with elf-like ears and having smooth scale-like skin. For the time being, my body is one hundred percent biologically female human. It could produce children too. It doesn't weigh the previous amount because of the materials it's made of now. I currently weigh in at one hundred twenty pounds exactly, and stand my ideal height of five feet tall even. The only unnatural things about this body at this point are that it's immortal and that I can change anything about it at any time. Well, and that it can't get ill in any way."
Kazu just sighed in response.
"How can I compare to that kind of magic...?"
"Easily. Here, you have some extra energy in that coin, and you've learned everything you need to know about the anatomy you want to have. You could make yourself female off of just that much. Just tune your focus as clearly as possible before channeling energy. More focus before using energy allows for using less energy. If you know exactly what you're making and have it clear and ready in your mind to produce, you don't need as much energy. Mental energy expended is much less expensive than life energy."
Kazu sighed, and got to work. Her mind found the right space fairly quickly, but it took her about ten minutes before she started putting energy from the coin into the change she was making. The change was almost instant when it started. She took a deep breath when she was finished putting energy into it, and the result was perfect.
"...it worked...!"
Kazu's excitement that she was able to change the one thing that was making her feel out of place with her body with a little energy, made her all the more energetic physically.
"Hmmm~ yes, it does seem you made the complete transition. Now your need for hormone therapy and surgery is gone. I should have mentioned as such earlier, but I wasn't sure until a week ago I was going to set my timer on when the world would change. Letting you in on this was to be a gift on reveal, but you were so distraught yesterday from the way the meeting went that I decided to put it off. How do you feel?"
Kazu was in tears from the excitement and joy that the operation worked. She no longer had to wait the long wait for the procedure or for the chance that her body might mature into being more masculine. She had worries about it she had been keeping to herself, but the relief and the joy from the transitional magic she was able to do, kept her in tears.
"...I'm so...relieved! And overjoyed! I finally feel like my body matches my mind, my emotional state, my feelings. Who I am as a person! Thank you for doing this for me! Thank you!"
Kazu was still crying as she finally started responding, and the outpouring of her words came when her body decided to let her stop crying as intensely as she was. She spoke fast, but her words were clear and the happiest they had sounded in quite some time.
"Don't mention the thanks. Again, I should have given you this option sooner. I just foolishly held onto my suspicion that keeping real magic hidden until my reveal yesterday would be for the best. You didn't need much magic at all to apply the change. As evidence, there's still a little left in the coin. Feel free to use that up now or hold onto it for a moment of need. You should be able to make a gauntlet to go with the katana, or make the coin into a storage for the katana you made. In order to bind something to a storage point, you will need to name it. So now would be a good time to give your katana a name, then imagine the coin as a vacuum point. You would then convert the vacuum point into a spout, imagine an impossible function like making the katana smaller so it can fit inside the space, and make the other side of the space something like a large room. Be as vivid as you want with the space, but if you keep it you could turn the space into a pocket dimension where you could accurately store much more, or even spend time there physically."
Kazu was baffled.
"A pocket dimension...? Seriously?"
She nodded.
"Yup. It's not just a fictional thing. If you can imagine it, it's likely possible with the use of an understandable amount of energy. If it doesn't already exist, develop an understanding of what it would be and create it yourself. That's the sort of thing magic is. If you have enough energy and a clear enough understanding, you can make just about anything with magic. It's why most people elect to call it magic. Because it's something unfathomable. The energy itself comes from life itself. To create life is also possible, in fact."
Ela took a few steps away from Kazu and closed her eyes for a minute, showing that she was concentrating on something. She was filling her mind with the image of Shii, herself with the same kind of immortal body she currently had but the same appearance she chose to have. It was an empty vessel, but a vessel could be filled, after all. She opened her eyes and the vessel appeared with a faint light around it which quickly faded. Kazu gasped in her surprise.
"Shii, are you available? I've made a vessel for you."
Shii as her virtual self showed up and did a slow observational look around of the vessel prepared for her.
"It's perfect mom, you just made it? Can you afford to be spending energy on something like this right now?"
Ela nodded.
"I barely spent any energy. Better to start helping physically now than be held back by not having a physical body. Plus you're most up to speed on everything out of our family. Think you could inhabit it?"
Shii nodded.
"Should be no problem. Let me try."
Shii made contact with it and it was like watching her virtual body digitize and flow into the body. The body stumbled a little with her conscious present inside of it. She caught herself, stood herself upright and blinked her eyes a few times, stretched her arms, legs and back, and finally turned to face Kazu and Ela. She walked over to Ela and wrapped her arms around her waist, holding her in a firm hug. She took a deep breath and sighed, a smile filling her face.
"This is so much better than the server. Thank you mom, this is the best gift you could have given me."
She let go after getting a good fill of physical contact.
"Any issues?"
"None. In fact I think it couldn't be more perfect. I'm just a little smaller than you and we're the same. Perfect!"
Ela smiled and patted Shii's head in response.
"That's good. And there's your example Kazu. You can even fill an empty vessel with a little more energy and it can become a person of its own. You could potentially even customize their personality. I haven't gone that far with it, but let's just say I know of someone who has."
Kazu blinked in confusion.
"You know someone who has?! But aren't you the person who's the only proprietor of real magic so far? I've done some magic now, but you're the only one in the world as far as I know who can use magic..."
Ela shrugged, letting out a small sigh.
"I'll set up sound impairment around us so to prevent other potential listeners from hearing this. Get a little closer."
Kazu stepped a little closer, enough to be within range to feel the heat coming off of her.
"Close enough. Now for the explanation...how familiar are you with the concept of reincarnation?"
Kazu blinked in surprise.
"That's certainly not where I thought this was going...I've heard of it, that it's a possibility that our souls join a cycle of energy that can potentially end up in another body after passing, but they're likely not to be whole, so much memory would be gone. That's the scientific basis and religious basis I've come to understand put together..."
Ela nodded.
"Something similar then to reality. In fact what you said is mostly the case. There's also part of that called negative energy. It's an aspect to souls who absolutely brimmed at the time of their death with negativity. They become something I call hallows. They hang around people who have positive energy to make it negative enough they can potentially snatch the body. I came here originally to protect you from this directly as a safety measure. Otherwise staying in Canada would have been ideal."
Kazu nodded.
"So how does reincarnation tie into this? Are you going to tell me that you lived at a time when magic was possible and this more experienced person taught you?"
Ela shook her head.
"No. This world once did have enough ambient energy for such a thing, but I'm not from this world originally. My soul is bound to a curse of reincarnation. I haven't lived in this world myself before my previous body's birth here. My original mother once lived here though, as the primary maid to serve King Arthur. Yes the historical figure. My mother shares her memories with me, unintentionally, due to the fact she created me with magic as the first child she ever had. My soul is older than the Earth itself. I experienced several horrible lives after losing my first to foolishness, such an immensely long life, I intend to live a long life again and Earth will become worthy of my new home. The population, the systems in place with governments and business though interesting in some ways, are too destructive to the prospect of continuation. I'm evolving this world with me. This world has a disgusting concept of understanding that war is profitable and expedites the masses most into evolution and advancement of technology. The truth is that it is a method, but it's horribly cruel. Simply a motivation is all that it takes. Give people an idea, and some way to achieve it and humans can make something happen faster than most. This is because human lives are typically short. The will to leave behind something of yourself for future generations to admire and appreciate is something humanity regularly takes pride in. The way the Earth has been until now is unacceptable to me, so it needs to change."
Kazu stared, but her eyes weren't seeing Ela. She was seeing imagination of just what Ela was talking about. The person in front of her, older than the world itself. Her mother had served that famous King during a previous life. Just what kind of knowledge could she impart to the world? How far could she advance it? Was she advancing it to the pinnacle with the very first push? She was absolutely floored with the idea that her perspective on everything was changing.
Things suddenly began to make sense to her which didn't before. A system which could distort perception of time flow, perfect AI who function like any other person, ability to create cities larger than any currently existing one in the world...but it started with her being a technology expert to Kazu. She was the one who supported her and her friends from outside when she was stuck in Aincrad. Nobody else was able to get through. Did Ela use magic to get in? Or was her ability to hack into systems just that good? Kazu's mind swam with so many considerations of their experiences together, that she ended up falling over from a lack of mental connection with her body. The collision between her knees and the floor beneath them was enough to jolt her back to her senses.
"...so...you're not just Ela-san then..."
She nodded.
"My very first name was Eiqa, second was Ritha, third was Koeru. I could go on, the list isn't as long as my mother's list even though she's not much older than me overall. I stayed on our original home world for a very long time and only about a million years ago started the reincarnation cycle. It has been nothing but suffering since leaving my old home."
Kazu sighed.
"Is there a way for you to show me this history of yours in an extremely condensed format?"
Ela nodded and touched her index finger to Kazu's forehead. She showed Kazu memories from her first life, when she was created, when her mother departed for the first time, an immense amount of time until she moved on to her second life taking care of what her mother had left behind. She showed all of her memories and when she pulled her finger away from Kazu's forehead, trillions of accumulated years having been shown to Kazu in seconds, she immediately vomited from the motion sickness involved with all the memories of moving around not linking up with her state.
"How...do you live with that many memories?"
She continued to vomit until there was nothing left in her stomach. She felt faint enough she might pass out.
"Gradually. Don't worry about the backlash, since you didn't actually live them my memories will fade over a short nap. You might remember some things but only if you try to remember them."
Kazu shook her head frantically.
"I believe you. You're ageless, in some sense. Trillions of – huuuurk – years..."
Kazu passed out. It was mid day, but it was a day off from just about everything else since she was exempted from school due to graduating early and she didn't have outside work lined up. It was just her and Ela at the house and in the dojo until she gave Shii a body since breakfast passed.
"Tampering with memories you already hold is dangerous, so you'll just need to pass this time resting. I'll wait here until you've rested enough."
She sat down after getting Kazu laid down comfortably and rested Kazu's head on her lap.
"Shii, did you finish getting everything in place back home?"
Shii nodded. Ela turned her focus to the vomit on the floor and cleaned it up with magic.
"Well then...I wonder when we should start putting up our Ygg. It doesn't need to happen right away and it doesn't have to wait until just before, but I'm thinking of doing it today and showing Kazu the process. It would also give me a chance to save up more energy before the mass production of the Yggs."
Shii shrugged.
"I think it might be a good idea to do it as soon as possible to have enough energy for the mass production. It's totally up to you though. You must have had a reason for wanting to plant it with the rest of them."
Ela shrugged.
"It was mostly just an oversight honestly. I think I will bring Kazu there today and show her. It's not going to be a waste of anything after all, and it'll benefit Kazu's full understanding of magic and what it's capable of."
The two of them looked at Kazu and nodded.
"She's been progressing so well. It honestly would be a really good move to show her such a thing, but I believe it would also be good to spread the news to your informants you're going to plant an Ygg ahead of schedule somewhere outside of their expected locations so ahead of schedule. It would be bad news if those political leaders tried attacking."
Ela sighed.
"That's definitely true, and I really don't want to cripple all technology around the world for three months. They might force my hand but it would certainly be easier if they accepted that it was for teaching purposes."
Shii nodded.
"I'm going to get to work on making sure all the setup is ready, if you're going to contact all your representatives and let them know. Especially get your people in Canada and America in the know since they could send people in physically."
Ela nodded, and Shii took a deep breath, letting it out and a white ring appeared in the air in front of her. It was a large enough ring for her to walk right through, and when she stepped through, she was gone. Ela and Kazu weren't the only people capable of magic, and Shii did far more advanced magic than Kazu could imagine herself doing. She didn't see it happen though due to being unconscious from the assault of memories.
Ela continued to pat Kazu, and used her AR to start a call with all the representatives who would be awake. It took about three minutes for everyone to wind up in the call. Some were complaining about ungodly hours or bad timing, some were excited at the good timing.
"Thank you all for responding to this call. I'm planning on planting the first Ygg early today. It's way ahead of schedule, but it's to teach my student about the upkeep of the trees so she'll be ready when the time comes. If we don't plant one in reality it'll be nowhere near the same in virtual reality to maintain because of the impact of physical and magical balance. I could plant one in the AI project since it's closer to real than any other virtual space. It would work best in reality though."
The very first response was from the Canadian representative.
"Could you please not lump this sudden proposal on us only a day after that meeting? I'm glad you got the timing perfect since I'm in a meeting with the big man, but right now?"
"Oh you're in a meeting with him right now? I'll extend the call to involve your whole physical space. I hope nobody minds."
She extended it and changed the voice call into a virtual call, surrounding them in an augmented environment. Everyone in the call including the meeting room the Canadian rep and prime minister.
"So you went this far after being turned down by the invention control board? I'd say I'm disappointed but I'm honestly impressed. You had this kind of project under wraps..."
The prime minister was leaving an interesting impression on her.
"Well maybe the control board shouldn't have put shackles on me. I would have happily built these opportunities in my home country if I wasn't denied at every turn by the control board. I applied with over thirty inventions and every damn time I was denied because "it would destroy the economy". Damn the economy. We don't need economy anymore. The world is in the worst mess it has been in a long time, the highest human population it's ever been at. This world is at risk of fizzling out because of lack of ambient energy. If things keep going as they are, all vegetation will shrivel up on the surface and all life won't be able to breathe anymore. Sorry about the rant, but you all need to realize what kind of situation your stubbornness to cling to what you know has done. I could have been fixing everything twenty years ago but you numb skulls have been fighting each other and so focused on your lousy economies. None of that garbage matters when all of you and your children and future generations could be facing disaster because you turned down the opportunity for massive positive change. I'm ensuring the future is guaranteed for them since you don't understand just where this world is heading if I call off the changes."
Everyone was silent. She had been berating the prime minister of her own country with the most calm, even voice. Her voice seethed with a rage however calm she was presenting herself. A rage so deep that they couldn't fathom what she would do if Kazu was awake, not occupying her lap. She might just suddenly conjure all the trees across the world and destroy everything. They didn't know the extent to how much she could change the world if her trees weren't involved, but fire absolutely everywhere burning everything to a crisp was a common mental image among them.
"...I'm sorry about what our invention control board-"
"No, don't you dare put this on the control board. Your office directly oversees the invention control board regulations, and though you weren't the prime minister twenty years ago, you need to take responsibility as the current one. I started this call because I intend to teach the child on my lap how to care for and maintain the project after I've finished summoning them all. I'm planning on bringing her back to my primary residence back in Canada for this afternoon to teach her, but that will also mean conjuring one of the Ygg there. Tell me now if you can make an emergency broadcast to inform the country of the situation. If you can't, then I'll make due with Kazu's involvement with another project. It won't be enough, but it would be a decent start."
"I can't make that emergency broadcast right this minute, but-"
"How long will it take?"
"It would take about an hour to set everything up, and I need to know a little bit more to explain better to the people of our country what's going on. The average person has no idea about the Ygg project yet since you only informed your contacts in governments around the world yesterday. This is all a little too fast."
Ela nodded.
"Then I'll clarify what you need to know. If you want, I'll contact you after resolving this call with the rest of my contacts. I'm glad you're participating in the AR project. It's quite helpful that everyone was so eager to make use of one of the things the invention control board denied twenty years ago. If only I could have released it sooner..."
Everyone felt as if they were on fire with every time she mentioned how long it had been. Just where would the world be if she had 20 years of free reign to change the world and release her inventions? She had shown only good intentions, to provide for the people alive and show them how to change for the better, and to fix the issues the world itself was facing. If that good intention swung the other way and she hated the world enough to destroy everything and kill everyone, they were certain she was capable of it. The energy to create the ability to use magic around the world for any person – that alone was something unfathomable. She was on the level of a deity.
"It's definitely a shame we couldn't progress into your future sooner, but please let us put the past in the past and move forward now that we are. I can't change what previous administrations in our government did twenty years ago. I understand your request, I can start working on the notice being put out now for an hour from now. You'll just need to get the US on board or I can't, because they would trample over us to try and get rid of your Ygg without proper notice."
Ela looked at the US representative.
"I'm unfortunately not in a meeting with our leader, but I'll do what I can right now. Might as well during the call..."
He hurried frantically. Everyone in the call was on edge. After bringing a few receptionists in and out of the call, he finally brought them into the famous Oval Office for the augmented shared space. The president sitting behind the desk was annoyed.
"You were already here earlier for that thing with Ela Mc-something and I gave you the clear on it. Nothing we can do about her after all. We're not equipped to deal with a magic wielding deity who could change the landscape of the world in a week worth of time."
The representative was gaping, a little too nervous to introduce her so Ela introduced herself.
"Hello mister president. Sorry to intrude so soon after my representative in your government informed you of the plan in three months. I'm planning on planting an Ygg later today. I would appreciate you not sending in your infantry and attacking Canada over it popping up suddenly. I would rather not cripple technology all over the world because of a rash move."
He stared at her in shock the instant her voice reached his ears.
"...oh, you brought the deity herself here with you. And the Canadian prime minister. Why are there so many people here?"
"That would be on me. I called him with an AR meeting and that means I can extend the call into surrounding space around the user involved in the call. Mister prime minister was also involved in the call this way. This call was to inform the major countries who could interfere and force my hand to shut everything down. Three months without technology to get all your populations on one page and moved to safe areas near the Ygg city locations isn't enough by far."
Both the prime minister and president nodded when she said three months without technology wouldn't be enough to move the populations of their countries. They needed to start moving the populations or putting everything in order immediately.
"Thank you for informing me. I can put out a broadcast in a minute if you're willing to stick around long enough. Hearing it from you directly might convince this country better than me after we had that mess a few years back with the drama loving president."
Ela suddenly blushed, it threw everyone off.
"While that could work, what kind of show of magic do you want me to make for your country? I could just plant one Ygg in a planned location, since there would be no disturbance of wild life, or people currently living there. I'd have to do the city when I get there in person though."
She was fidgeting a lot, her social anxiety nerves flaring up. She was suddenly not so happy to have her nerves back, being back to a natural body and not a robotic body which ignored her anxiety. It wasn't long she had it, but she missed it for that.
"That would certainly be an incredible feat, and if you do then we could move people in even sooner and prove to the world your benevolence. I think that would be the perfect example. Then putting up your second one would be less of a surprise to the people, having broken the unknowing the first being planted entails. People would know us world leaders aren't just blowing smoke up their arses over something fake and extraterrestrial if we have proof. I'm honestly glad you're the real first contact we have with someone not of this world. You aren't of course, am I wrong?"
Ela wasn't sure how much she was comfortable revealing about herself just yet, but saying she wasn't originally from Earth would be fine for the general population of the world.
"I'm not originally from here no, but I did live a full natural life here even in spite of having one of the most ridiculous physical situations I could imagine in a human of this world. That life could have continued normally had I used magic to fix my body, but I had to artificially extend my life with a robotic body. Now, I'm back to a natural body. I converted the robotics and machinery into the real biological, albeit more than mortal counterparts I much prefer. It took a bit of time, since the process was more fine detailed and thus important to get right, but it worked."
The president smiled. He was pleased the level of conversation they were able to have. She could just be a normal person, but she was disappointed in the world from a standpoint not one person there could truly comprehend. She was disappointed in the state of nearly everything humanity had done in the world. Some things were impressive and she enjoyed, but there was a lot she was planning to destroy. Government institutions were going, and the president hoped to carve his mark in history as the first world leader to accept the move into a future without.
"There's only one more thing I would like to ask, Miss Ela. Are you going to continue being Ela to the people of this world? Or will you claim a previous name? An old name? I assume you had previous names since you weren't originally from here."
She shook her head.
"I don't take light names given to me, and my current life's name isn't disliked by myself. It has some familial ties I treasure of this life. I will carry them with me. I could say I preferred previous names for literal meanings behind them, but it's this world and this life right now. I will keep everything aside my memories of previous lives influencing the future of the world, to the minimum of guiding me to doing everything I can to fix what I can. My name stays."
He nodded, a wide smile on his face.
"I'm glad you're such a prideful woman. We're not so different if we can relate on some things. You're proud of your accomplishments, your strength, your ability to change this world for the better. You're greedy, ready to trample everything we've accomplished as humans and change the world to your personal utopia. You don't give me the sense of lust, but you have plenty of children and care for an unrelated child sleeping on your lap. Your wrath could destroy this entire planet in seconds from my education of our connecting advisor, so I'm glad you're using your power for peace. You don't give me the impression of being slothful, and you're unlikely to be gluttonous as from what I could understand of your situation, while it makes no sense at all for you to be envious. You represent some sins, yet you're impervious of others. As a follower of the bible, I can't think of you as the savior himself, or the father in heaven, but could you enlighten me what position you might take among their ranks should you be involved with the scripture?"
Ela felt annoyed as soon as the bible and religion was brought up and she snapped her response.
"That damn book again...a little enlightenment – mother Mary reincarnates like me – she was my original mother and created me and that was one of her recent reincarnations. Her son was a little monster and I don't understand how humans managed to write him as some savior. He abused his magic, he abused our mother, and he got sent off to his next life for outing his abilities and not being skilled enough to fight off barbaric fighters. He's a disgrace to our mother and as the eldest sibling, I would like for nobody to ever bring up that disgrace in front of me ever again. As for position, I think you understand. I'm your stupid savior's older sister and I'm done hearing about him. Stow away or keep the books, but never talk of him to me again."
Her anger as she responded, and the words she said floored every person there, and they woke Kazu. She passed right out again when she saw how terrifying Ela was being along with hearing that surprising bit of information. Ela was the older sibling to an internationally recognized figure, one of the oldest recorded miracle givers. It all fit in place, all making sense somehow. How else could a person have a child without pregnancy, if they weren't made directly through magic? Ela had mentioned that she was made the same way, so why wouldn't the savior himself?
Kazu's mind fizzled away as her body didn't move an inch and her consciousness faded once again.
