<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened to you?" Jack questioned as he saw Keith and the two return home. Well, it was mainly Alfia and Faelyn. Keith looked the same as he left. But the two elves were a stark contrast. Faelyn''s aura was radiating like no tomorrow, while Alfia was the opposite; it looked like she went through a spartan workout.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who''s that on your shoulder, Faelyn?" What was different with Faelyn was the small hedgehog riding on her shoulders. Quill was now doing the Fira.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is my spirit, Quill," Faelyn exined as she noticed how Quill shook. He was a little frightened.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Jack said nothing else as he headed to his bedroom.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What am I supposed to do?!" Alfia was about to have a meltdown.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There there, Quill." Faelyn patted the hedgehog''s head. Yet, the small being quickly hid inside her cor. That giant explosion urring beside her scared him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, you guys go and take a break." After all of this, they needed some time to rest. Faelyn nodded and walked with light steps while Alfia trudged to her room.
<span style="font-weight:400">A sigh came from Keith''s mouth as he headed to the backyard. There, the three great spirits outside. Udine tended to the seed while Diana and Nephele tended to the garden.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you''re back. How was it?" Diana knew about the training.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I ask you guys for advice?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What''s the matter?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How do spirits and elves get along with one another?" This was something he was confused about. From how Alfia and Faelyn exined it, spirits were revered. But this was inurate. Diana and the two were revered, while the others were treated normally. It seemed something was up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm, I guess we''re treated as equals by the elves."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please exin further."
<span style="font-weight:400">"The elves treat us like an equal race to theirs. For example, a low-ss spirit would be consideredmoner in their book. Middle would be nobles while high-ss spirits are considered kings and queens."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see. And you guys would be the highest?" If high-ss spirits were equated with royalty, what about these three?
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll be considered higher than the elven king. However, we''re not the highest. That would be given to the spirit king ss." There was someone higher than them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Keith thought about it, "Also, Diana, why are spirits so close to me? Is it because of our contract?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Partially." Diana shook her head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Partially?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"My contract with you does give you some benefits; one of them is to make spirits know you''re contracted with me, a great spirit. They would show you great respect. However, their fondness for you is something entirely on you."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That means you have a natural affinity for spirits." Nephele grinned as she hugged Keith from the back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I guess?" Keith scratched his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How did you not figure that out?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I had an inkling."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, I know how to help Alfia with her spirits." Keith smiled as he knew what he could do.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, I''m going to switch things up." Keith pped his hands together. The three had returned to the forest.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Faelyn, you continue with the pace with Quill." Faelyn and Quill became best buddies overnight; they were attached to the hip with one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Try to have him use magic," "Understood."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now. Alfia, you will be working with one spirit for now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I-"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith raised his hand, "Before you say anything, you dealing with two spirits is overkill. Focus on one first before you have them both here."
<span style="font-weight:400">If she couldn''t handle two, why do it? Divide the amount first so she could get used to it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Fine." Alfia took a sigh, understanding what Keith meant. Justst time was enough to show how rough she had it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about we start with the hawk?" Keith thought the hawk was the better choice of the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alfia nodded as she summoned the hawk. The hawk looked at the two before itnded on Keith''s shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">Twitch! Alfia''s eyes twitched in a weird way. Keith kept his cool as he stroked the hawk''s beak, "I''m not your contractor. She is."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kwak!" "I know. But she really wants to work together with you." Keith grinned. It looked at Alfia for a moment before jumping onto her shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good. Let''s start with some simple exercises."
<span style="font-weight:400">"How?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The simplest thing is to ask the hawk to go around the tree." Simple enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go!" Alfia pointed at the tree, but the hawk only shook its head, uninterested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let me try." Keith looked at the hawk, "Go around over there."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kwak!" The hawk did just that as it quickly dashed off and flew back to Keith''s hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good job!" Keith patted the hawk and turned to Alfia, "Now, it''s your turn."
