《Divine Painter》 Chapter 1 - First Drawing In the world of Eros there were Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, Demons, Goblins...Everything you could imagine. There were 5 continents: Besia Continent Humeo Continent Demios Continent Draco Continent Subra Continent All children from around this world, at the age of eight, had to attend a nearby church from The God of Creation, to discover their affinities,abilities or some talent in something. There were many Academies. There were the one''s specific to Element''s, other''s for different power like reading minds and more and other''s for Martial Artists. Right now there wasn''t any war going on, but the peaceful air was not going to last much. ******************************** In the Keros village, on the Besia Continent,there could be seen people working hardly to feed their families. In one of this village''s house there was a little five year old elf boy about to receive his birthday gift. His name is F¨¦lix. F¨¦lix looked excited. Waiting for his father to come home and bring his birthday gift. His blue eyes glowed and his black hair was like the night. His mother,Tanisha, could only smile while seeing her dear son so excited. She knew that the gift wasn''t going to be nothing special, but is what they could afford. Tanisha and her husband already had two children to create, and it was getting difficult. Keisha, F¨¦lix''s big sister, was already sleeping after coming from the Velement Academy. Thankfully she was a good poison magician and she got a place in that academy. She actually lived there, but it was now holidays. There was a noise from the door being open and there stood Leo, F¨¦lix''s father. He has brown hair and shiny brown eyes. Tanisha had brown hair too and blue eyes. They didn''t know where did the black hair from F¨¦lix came from but they were ok with that. Leo had something hidden inside his jacket. F¨¦lix saw his father and ran to him. -'''' Father, I want to see my present! Pretty please!'''' It was already night but F¨¦lix waited for his father to come from work. Leo looked at his son and ruffled his black hair, giving him a smile. -'''' Ok, here you go.'''' He showed F¨¦lix the Paper, the feather and the Ink. F¨¦lix wasn''t disappointed. He knew they weren''t rich, but he was happy with their life. -'''' Can I draw now? Please?'''' Tanisha could only sigh. It was getting late at night and they had to work tomorrow morning. -'''' Honey, can you draw tomorrow? It''s getting late.'''' F¨¦lix frowned but understood. He thanked them for the gift and ran to his room. Everyone was now asleep besides F¨¦lix. He was a child, he was energetic. Even if it was nighttime he felt powerful under the moon like the vampires. He loved the night. This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Inside his room there was a simple little wooden desk along with a chair and his bed. Reaching his chair he put the folded clothes on it aside. He reached for his materials and put them on the table. And then he sat on the chair. In front of him was a window and there stood the moon. So beautiful. This was his first time drawing, he wanted to make something pretty, so that he could show it to his family. And then he had an idea. Why not draw their house with all types of plants around? It would be pretty if it would really come true. Through the night he worked on it and didn''t even realized his glowing hands, he didn''t even recognize the masterpiece. He didn''t look at his finished drawing, he was too tired. He fell asleep. **************************** Tanisha and Leo were already up in the morning. The sun was almost appearing. Leo was getting dressed to go work at the market and Tanisha was about to go out of the house and pick up some herbs at the safe part of the forest since she was a healer. With a basket on hand she and Leo got out of the house. But they stopped once outside. Their house was surrounded by flowers, herbs and other kind of plants! There was herbs Tanisha has never saw before here, in front of her. How could this happen in one night? -'''' H-how?'''' Tanisha whispered. Leo had no words, it was mysterious and beautiful. -'''' Mommy, Daddy! I worked all night on my drawing! Is it pretty?'''' They were surprised by F¨¦lix''s voice and turned to look at him. On his hand there was an exact replica of their house, the plants everything. How could that happen? It was his first time drawing, on his hand was a masterpiece! -'''' Swee-theart... Did Violet help you?'''' Tanisha could only calculate that his sister practiced on the academy and helped him. -'''' Nope! It was me!'''' F¨¦lix said with a proud look on his face. At that moment a eleven year old girl with brown hair and blue eyes appeared behind F¨¦lix and gave him a hug. -'''' I really didn''t help him. Wow F¨¦lix your going to be an artist? This is so pretty!'''' They were smiling at each other and reacting like girls when they see their crush. They weren''t even seeing the problem here. Villagers were starting to surround the house to see where this came all from. No one could explain what happened. Of course there were rumors around that this was a blessing from Nela,The Goddess of Nature. No one could even imagine what really happened. And this would change everyone''s life forever. ***************************************** I decided to write this story since this idea appeared and I just had to write! Let''s see how is this going to come out. Comment, Rate Chapter 2 - Clan * Somewhere* A young man was sitting on his chair in a luxurious office. He was reading through the papers regarding his clan and requests. There was still many people wanting the clan''s service, but sometimes it wasn''t enough. The other clans were stealing customers from each other. Acquiring young genius people and using them. He put down his glassed and leaned back on the chair closing his eyes. He only wanted to take a nap in this afternoon but it seems he couldn''t when a knock was heard. He could only sigh. Being a clan leader was not easy. -'''' Yes?'''' The door opened and a young women appeared. She too used glasses and had a slender body. -'''' Clan Leader, we have some suspicious news.'''' The clan''s also investigated everything that happened so they could recruit someone, blackmail or if it was a threat than kill. The women gave him some papers. His eyes couldn''t handle more words. -'''' Can''t you just tell me the news?'''' The women coughed a bit. -'''' Of course I will start. A few days ago in the Besia Continent, in Keros village there was a strange happening. Around the house of commoners during the night appeared plants of all types and some even unknown. We don''t know if is someone with some kind of nature ability or something more powerful.'''' The young man got excited hearing this. If he was fast he could maybe discover someone powerful before the other clan''s, but maybe not so fast like the Green clan since their base was there. -'''' Is Charlotte still in Besia Continent?'''' The women nodded. -'''' Tell him to drop his mission and go investigate this. Send another person to complete his mission. Now.'''' The women nodded again and hurried out of the room. The young man chuckled. The Silver Clan wasn''t going to lose. *************************************** * Charlotte POV* Seriously this fat noble guy is getting on my nerves. Why is he always surrounded by women? Poor them. I have to this quick, but I wanted this to happen without any witnesses. I heard my crystal ball making noises. A call? Maybe later I will see who it is. I turned to look at the man again but he wasn''t there now! Oh come on! The crystal ball continued making noises. Ugh, fine who is it? I picked the crystal ball and accepted the call without even seeing who it was. -'''' What the fuck do you want? I just lost my victim because of you!'''' -'''' Please calm down and listen.'''' I knew the voice. Oh my god. -'''' I''m so sorry Vice! I should be dead for treating you like that!'''' Thankfully people in the Silver clan were pacific. When they wanted. -'''' No problem. Drop everything your doing now and head to Keros Village. I want you to investigate something. You won''t miss, it''s a house surrounded by plants.'''' Plants? ''''- But, why? Did I do something wrong?'''' She was confused. She was new in the clan and this was her second mission. -'''' Leader''s orders. Now Go.'''' The call ended. Charlotte couldn''t contain her happiness. She was picked especially by the clan''s leader! She had to make them proud. But she didn''t know he picked her only because she was the one nearest the village. ******************** Arriving at the village it was already night. There were some people still on the streets but they were few. If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. She looked around for a bit and saw the house. It wasn''t big but the plants around gave the house a majestic aura. It was beautiful. There were many things she had never seen. -'''' It''s beautiful isn''t it?'''' An alluring voice spoke. She looked around scared. She didn''t even sense this person, it looked dangerous. -'''' Show yourself!'''' The voice chuckled. She shivered. -'''' Down here, miss!'''' She looked down to see a cute child. His blue eyes and black hair. It was just a freaking child! How could she not have sensed him? The child gave me a big smile and showed me a drawing. It was an exact replica of this view. -'''' It was me who did it! Is it pretty?'''' The boy was actually really happy from all the good comments he received. She was surprised. How could this child draw something like this? -'''' This was you who did it little boy?'''' He nodded. -'''' I like to draw.'''' That''s all he said and then ran inside the house. He must have five years old! This is absurd! I can''t even draw a tree! And this kid, this kid... That night her pride was destroyed. She finished her investigation and went to report everything personally. She headed towards the Humeo Continent. *********************** Charlotte arrived at her destiny after one day of traveling.She just had to get to the teleporter of the Besia Continent and teleport herself to the Humeo Continent. She could have reported through the crystal ball but the clan leader said it was fine that she was heading towards here. She knocked on the office door. Her hands a little sweaty from the nerves. -'''' Yes?'''' The leader''s voice. This was the second time she was meeting him. He was a handsome young man with silver hair. Kaleb Silver. She entered the office and reported everything she could find out. -'''' In that house lives a family of four. The mother, Tanisha, is a healer in the village and the Father Leonardo is a merchant. They have two children. Violet, ten years old, Poison Magic. She entered the Velement Academy.'''' -'''' Hoo, she looks promising...'''' Kaleb said while rubbing his chin. -'''' And the other child?'''' Charlotte gulped loudly. -'''' Is something wrong?'''' Kaleb noticed her discomfort. -'''' F¨¦lix, 5 years old. I-I don''t know if is just because I am a newbie, but when I was investigating the house I couldn''t sense him approaching me...'''' Kaleb was surprised. Yes, she was newbie but they were all trained and only admitted in missions when they were at their best. -'''' He... He showed me a drawing.'''' -'''' A drawing?'''' What was this women talking about? -'''' The drawing, it was an exact replica of the house, and all of the plants around. In the same positions, the same forms! I don''t know why, but even if it was a masterpiece I believe it. He has some strange power, I''m sure of it.'''' Kaleb didn''t have words. Five years old and already showing some kind of power? If this isn''t a simple coincidence then this could be a great discovery. -'''' Let''s wait until he complete''s his ten years. Then we shall see it. *********************************************** What did you think? Next part more of little F¨¦lix. Comment ,Rate Chapter 3 - Best Friends Along the few years after the strange happening F¨¦lix understood his power. He tried many things to control it and some actually worked. Even if he was just a child he knew this power was great and it would be bad if he showed to people he didn''t trust enough. He was now nine years old and next year he would take the test { A/N I would also call it awakening or something similiar so don''t be confused.} He wondered what was the name of his power or if he would have an elemental affinity. -" Honey, it''s dinner time!" F¨¦lix ran downstairs and sat with his family, eating a good meal. Keisha wasn''t home but they were happy that she was being given a proper education. They even got a letter from her saying that she got a boyfriend. Father wasn''t too happy about it. His family were the ones he trusted the most, so he will share his power with them. -" We''re running out of money, how is work?" Mother and Father were whispering to each other about their problems not wanting to worry their son. They knew his favourite thing now to do was drawing. But for the past years it was getting difficult to buy the paper, ink etc. They had to made their best to atleast let their son do what he liked the most. And he was good a it, very good. -" Mother, Father I have something to share with you." They looked at their son waiting for the announcement. -" I want to show you guys something." F¨¦lix got up from his seat and picked his materials from one shelf. He sat again and started to draw something. His parents were confused. They knew he was a genius when it comes to drawing but what was he really trying to show them? He finished his drawing. It was a golden coin. Perfect size, every little detail. They have never shown him a golden coin, he must''ve had seen around the market. But to memorize the details, he was really amazing. -" Is this what you wanted to show us?" Tanisha asked. -" Wait, there''s more.." Not expecting ,their son started to do some strange movements with his hands, they were giving a gold aura around them making it look like it was a godly aura. Out of nowhere the gold coin that was on the paper dissapeared and appeared on F¨¦lix''s hand. It wasn''t a drawing anymore. It was a real gold coin! Tanisha and Leonardo had no words for what they just watched. This was some kind of talent they have never seen before. They were sure no one had that power ever before, yet he knew how to wield it so well. Leonardo picked te golden coin and decided to bite it. Being a merchant he knew this was a real gold coin. Their son''s gift was amazing. -" So, it was really you who made those plants appear around around our house years ago?" F¨¦lix nodded. He was expecting his parents get angry at him for not telling them but they were calm. Well, only on the outside. Leonardo put down the gold coin and picked his son''s hands clasping them together. He looked in his son''s eyes and with seriousness on his voice he spoke. -" Son, in this world there are many bad people that would do everything for your power. Please use it carefully." This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. F¨¦lix already knew this. He wouldn''t use his power for useless things. He would help his family. His power didn''t make him tired, but sometimes when he tried very hard it could be exhausting. Tanisha clapped her hands breaking the silence. -" Well, let''s forget this for now and talk about other things, here honey." She said while handing the gold coin to F¨¦lix. Of course F¨¦lix didn''t accept and after many tries he convinced his mother to stay with the money, It would help, a lot. -" When is sister going home?" -" Oh she told me she would come next year to watch your awakening." Father answered. -" She said she was going to bring that brat she calls boyfriend too. I can''t believe this. And the boy is a freakin noble! An arrogant noble!" Father was fuming with anger. It was normal Keisha could get a noble boyfriend even if she was a commoner. She was talented and a beauty too. Even if sometimes, with the puberty, she would be very tiresome towards F¨¦lix. After the dinner they all went to sleep. Or not. ********************** F¨¦lix woke up with the sunlight on his face. He wanted to sleep a little more but today he would be meeting with his Best friend Sophia. Sophia and him met when they were 6 years old. They soon became great friends and would do everything together. Sophia was kind of boyish. She liked to play with boys and dress in some pants and a simple shirt. She hated all kind of dresses and skirts. Even being boyish, F¨¦lix couldn''t hide that she was his little crush. She had red fiery hair and green eyes. A very beautiful face and silky skin. How could he not have a crush on her? F¨¦lix got up and got dressed. He arranged his messy bed hair and rubbed his eyes from the lack of sleep. Of course he didn''t go straight to sleep. He had to draw something. That''s why, now he had a new carpet. He got downstairs and prepared his breakfast. Tanisha and Leo were already working and they knew F¨¦lix already knew how to take care of himself. He ran outside towards Sophia''s house and waited outside for her. When she got out he couldn''t hide his surprised look. Sophia the boyish girl was wearing a summer dress. She looked gorgeous. And angry. -" Don''t say anything! My mother forced me to wear this, can you believe this?" F¨¦lix chuckled. Thank you Miss Jenett. { Sophia''s Mother } Hearing his chuckle Sophia could only blush from embarrassment and led him to play. Sophia too had a crush for him. He was getting more handsome every day that passes and he had a mysterious aura, and she liked it. They played all day with each other and another children from the village. Their 10 year old awakening was coming along with surprises. ***************** I know this chapter didn''t have much but next it is going to be better! I wrote this chapter on the phone! I would edit tomorrow and see if there are any errors! Comment, Rate Chapter 4 - ERROR Today was the day that finally F¨¦lix could understand a little bit more about his power. Sophia had already taken the test last month since she was a month older than F¨¦lix. She got the a affinity with fire. It complimented her hair. People could have a affinity and another power that wasn''t an element. It was rare but they could. F¨¦lix was getting dressed. It wasn''t nothing fancy but a little better than what he usually wears. His parents got a clearance for some time so that they could see the test and have some holidays. Keisha and her boyfriend were not here yet so they were all talking and relaxing a bit. F¨¦lix started to hear the sound of horses, his sister arrived. He ran outside and she was coming out of the carriage with her boyfriend right after. This was a family moment so the family didn''t understand why he came. He was a tall boy. Not much muscle and had a prince face with the typical blue eyes and blonde hair. Keisha was beautiful with a nice dress hugging all of her curves. Keisha and F¨¦lix ran at each other and embraced each other. He could smell her rose perfume. Oh how much he missed his big sister. After giving everyone a hug she started to introduce her boyfriend. F¨¦lix was now on the side of his father. He now didn''t like him, just his face...Ugh. Arrogant.Maybe they were judging someone for their looks but he was Keisha''s boyfriend they had to test the boy. F¨¦lix and Leo were standing there arms folded and an intimidating gaze. Tanisha was waiting with a happy smile on her face. -" Family, this is Fred Lion... And we have some news too, and this will justify to why I brought him here." House of Lion?! Everyone was surprised. The House of Lion was a rich family of nobles {Like all the others, but more} and they were more arrogant than others to let one of them be boyfriend of a commoner was incredible. -" So what is it?" Tanisha was excited. After a great silent Keisha finally got the guts to talk. -" Well, we''re getting married." Keisha said while rubbing her neck. All hell broke loose. Leonardo couldn''t handle and he fainted. Thankfully F¨¦lix was there to catch him. F¨¦lix was making a drama with fake tears. Crying with his face on the body of his dear father like he had died. Tanisha didn''t even care and ran to them and hugged them giving them her blessing. Fred was entertained with this family. He really loved their daughter. They were already sixteen so it was a normal age to marry. Yes he may look like an arrogant brat but he wasn''t. He actually got in some fights with his family because Keisha was just a commoner. He could feel that her father and brother didn''t really accepted him but he would gain their trust. It was his first time seeing a commoner family, and all elves. They were all very pretty and had some sense of humor. This was going to be funny. Tanisha gave Leonardo a kick on the stomach and he woke up. F¨¦lix and Leonardo started to hug each other and saying how they would test the boy. -" Oh shush. Stop being such babys we have to go to the awakening." ''You traitor''.Leonardo and F¨¦lix thought. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. They all got on the carriage and after some hours they arrived at the Diosos village. Thay were the only one around here with a church. They all entered the church and a priest appeared. He didn''t look like a priest. He looked like a fat thug. F¨¦lix couldn''t believe. People could take the test alone or let the family watch. F¨¦lix had a feeling that he shouldn''t let his family watch so he went alone. The priest showed him a simple tiny room with some runes around. In the center of the room was two crystal balls. One for elemental affinity and another for the other power. The priest had to stay in the room supervising the test. Because you could actually cheat. F¨¦lix wasn''t comfortable with the man being here but he let it go. He touched the elemental crystal ball and it glowed like gold glitter. It was holy affinity. Holy affinity was the opposite of darkness and many people worked at the church when they had this power. Of course he wouldn''t be a priest or something like that. F¨¦lix didn''t know but his glowing hands while drawing were actually partly because of the holy affinity. The priest was surprised seeing the holy affinity. It wasn''t regular this days and his parents didn''t have anyone with holy affinity in their family. He had investigated. F¨¦lix then touched the other sphere and it started to glow and shake like a washing machine. { A/N they didn''t have washing machines, I''m just describing.} The only words that appeared on the sphere after it calmed down was, #ERROR F¨¦lix and the priest were confused. Was it a new power the sphere didn''t know or was it broken? The priest ran to the storage and brought another sphere and it happened the same. He had to send the boy to the capital, Milia. There they had a better system. After having a conversation with the family and handing them a special letter they all understood the situation. But they didn''t have the money. Fred wanting to make them like him offered them money. Of course F¨¦lox could have draw the money but that would be suspicous and it would take some time. Fred had lots of it and it was the least he could do for them, even if two of the family members didn''t like him... Leonardo was actually thankful for what Fred did. And F¨¦lix didn''t think of him like a arrogant guy anymore. Leonardo gave Fred a tight hug and with a menacing tone of voice whispered in his ears. -" Don''t think I accepted you." Fred shivered and gulped. A droplet of sweat was falling. This people were scary. They then arranged everything F¨¦lix said foodbye to Sophia and headed to the capital. The priest was euphoric and he made a call. -" Leader, the boy is heading to the capital, the sphere of other power couldn''t handle him so I sent him there. Oh, and he has the Holy attribute." "- Great, I will send someone." An unknown voice answered. The Clan''s started to move. ************************* Soo, how was it? Not that many surprises but hey I tried! Comment, Rate Chapter 5 - Tell me your story I can''t believe this! i had jus wrote a new chapter and this freaking thing disappeared! Whyy!? **************************** They had to rent two carriages since the trip was going to take maybe a week and they were going to need to change clothes, etc. Keisha and Tanisha stayed in one of the carriages and of course Leonardo, F¨¦lix and Fred stayed in the other. Fred was... let''s say, nervous. F¨¦lix was just drawing like he always was, and Leonardo kept glancing at Fred. F¨¦lix felt the tension between the two of them and decided to break the ice. -'''' So, Fred... How did you met Keisha?'''' Fred no more was nervous and smiled like a child, remembering the first time he saw her. -'''' Well... The first time I saw her was when we were at the exams. She got a great score on her exam and I noticed her right after. She was smart, beautiful and everything more. I loved her laugh while she was having fun with some of her friends. When I saw her hang out with other boys i would be jealous so I decided to introduce myself to her, since we had Maths Class together. By chance she needed some help and I was the nearest person. We chatted and along the years we became best friends. I was actually very shy at that age so.. she actually asked me to be her boyfriend.'''' Leonardo chuckled. -'''' B-but, I had the guts to ask her in marriage. I remember her happy face and our long kiss... Leonardo coughed, not wanting to know more details. -'''' And I actually had some problems with my family. Since we are nobles and Keshia is a commoner I had quite a fight with them but after some time they finally accepted my request.'''' Leonardo was happy. This boy had just passed his test. He couldn''t help but remember when he was a noble guy and fell in love with Tanisha. At first she was quite furious that Leonardo always went after her, but who could resist his charms? He eventually got too in a fight with his family, but he lost his rank and turned into a commoner. But that was in the past, he now had a bright and beautiful family. Leonardo and Fred talked for the rest of the day, and F¨¦lix continued do draw. He was drawing a beast he saw in a book, it was half lion, half panther. It was strange but majestic. They were extinct now. When Fred glanced at little F¨¦lix he couldn''t help but be surprised, like all the other people. This guy was just ten years old and he had this talent, it was even better than the teacher. This guy was going to have a high score at Arts. *With The Girls* Tanisha glanced at her daughter. It seemed it was just yesterday Keisha was just a baby on her arms. Before her being born Tanisha had some problems. She ran away from home since her parent had some alcoholic problems, and sometimes were abusive. She never really saw them again, nor her big sister. She was disappointed with herself from leaving her big sister there. But now, she had to live with that. Maybe in the future they would see each other once again. She wouldn''t blame her if she didn''t want to talk with her. Thankfully after all those dramas she met Leonardo. He was quite persistent and she eventually fell in love with him. She couldn''t ask for a better husband. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. When F¨¦lix was born they were worried that he had dark hair. But now that he had a holy affinity that meant he wasn''t possessed by some kind of evil. -'''' Keisha, let me see your ring.'''' Tanisha love jewels like most of the other women. She too had a ring but nothing fancy since Leonardo was not a noble anymore when they got married. Keisha looked at her mother and showed her hand. The ring was there, slightly shining from the sun. It was for sure a expensive gem, and a beautiful one too. Tanisha was proud of her girl. -'''' Are you happy?'''' -'''' Very''''. ***************************** After a week they finally arrived at the capital. It was a big change from the village. In the city people were making path for the carriages and they obviously were already accustomed with it. There was a big market , an adventure Guild and a Guild of mages too. In the city we could see every type of people passing by. Rich, poor, animal... There were some thieves too and eventually some slave traders. When they arrived at the church they ordered the coach man to stay there, since after the test they would go back to the village. School didn''t start right this year, only when F¨¦lix turned twelve. This time a women greeted them. Inside the church there were quite a few people. -'''' What can I do for you today?'''' Tanisha stepped forward. -'''' We have this.'''' She said while handing the letter. The priest, Vinia, read the letter very carefully. It was a letter from a High member of the church! Hello, Please to whoever is reading this letter, charge the ''''Ved''''. I don''t know if it was from the low equipment here, but I couldn''t test the power of this kid, F¨¦lix. He has holy affinity. The family isn''t quite rich so, when I get to the capital I will make sure to deliver the certain amount of money. Thank you, High Priest, M¨¦lios. The women quickly led them to a bigger room and told them to wait there. Vinia started to charge the ''''Ved'''' with the help of another priest. F¨¦lix was nervous again, it was going to work or not? ****************************** Please give me ideas for the name of the power! Thank you! And I''M SORRY IF IT ISN''T VERY GOOD THIS CHAPTER, BUT WRITING A SECOND TIME IT WAS TIRESOME... Comment, Rate Chapter 6 - Butterfly Thank you for the suggestions ! ********************************************** F¨¦lix held out his hand and put it on the ''''Ved''''. The Ved started to shine and then everything stayed pitch black.Everyone was waiting and after sometime in gold letters appeared. ''''Divine Painter; No description available'''' Vinia was both surprised and disappointed. Gold letters mean that this power was a new one so it greatly disappointed her it didn''t have a description that could make them understand better the power. After everyone talked a bit about it Keisha and Fred got back to the academy and F¨¦lix, Leonardo and Tanisha went back home. * In the carriage* -'''' Even if it doesn''t explain anything about F¨¦lix''s skill we can see it''s a kind of new power, I''m so proud of you F¨¦lix.'''' Tanisha said. Even if he had no way to know more about his power he could still experiment and discover faster ways to draw or new spells. He kind of invented that spells with the hands, so it wouldn''t take long to discover more. Leonardo continued worried, he will have to keep his family safe. ********************* When they arrived at their village they decided to array their few baggage. F¨¦lix decided he would train hard so, today, he would play with Sophia and talk about many things. He ran outside and saw her talking with another girl, Serena. She was a little shorter than Sophia with brown eyes and green hair, and she too cat cat ears and a tail since she was a beast-women. -'''' Serena, Sophia!'''' He called. The girls looked at the voice, it was their dear friend F¨¦lix. Sophia ran to F¨¦lix and gave him a tight hug, the boy smelled like peppermint, it was refreshing. Serena too wanted to give him a hug , but she was far more shy. -'''' So, how was it?'''' Sophia asked. Since he went to the capital she couldn''t stop thinking about F¨¦lix. If he was going to be okay or if he was going to have a problem. -'''' It went great! I have the Holy affinity!'''' F¨¦lix decided not to tell them about the Divine Painter skill, since they were friends, and sometimes kids couldn''t handle a secret. -'''' Oh, so I have fire, you have Holy and Serena has Nature!'''' F¨¦lix nodded. -'''' So, did something happened while I was out?'''' F¨¦lix knew for sure some people here in the village looked different. ''''-Well... Three days ago, arrived here an important Elder. That''s what the chief of the village said, and that we shouldn''t bother him...'''' F¨¦lix shrugged, it didn''t seem important. The village chief was Gil Viletto. He was married to Beatrice Viletto and they had two sons. John, the same age as F¨¦lix and the other and the oldest brother was Austin, 18 years old. John had the fire affinity too and John wasn''t gifted in magic but received a good power. It was like a boost in strength so he joined an academy for soldiers. After their great afternoon playing F¨¦lix decided to stroll around the village. After sometime he still didn''t want to go home and decided to sit on a bench. He picked a paper from his pocket and a ''''pen'''' he himself drew. It was like a feather with ink, but he didn''t have to drag along the ink, he kept it inside a kind of tube. Not much people were out now, and he had warned his parents he would be late home. Since this was a peaceful village they weren''t very concerned. In the dark F¨¦lix started to draw. He hided the shining from his hands because it was dark if anyone saw him they would definitively think it was suspicious. He was thinking of drawing a simple butterfly, yet with so much patterns and colors. F¨¦lix was so into the drawing he didn''t even notice a person sitting next to him. He finished his work and gazed at it. He was proud of himself. -'''' Great drawing you have there.'''' F¨¦lix jumped a little and looked where came the voice. An old man was sitting next to him with some strange clothing, he had never seen before. -'''' Thank you. And who are you?'''' F¨¦lix asked. He already knew who the man was, since he was the only old man new in here. -'''' Why don''t you introduce yourself first?'''' F¨¦lix looked at him confused. Is the guy shy or what? This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. -'''' Um, ok... I''m F¨¦lix, I live right at that house.'''' He said while pointing to a house still surrounded by some plants. -'''' Oh, you have some pretty house there. So many kind of plants surrounding it.'''' F¨¦lix nodded. -'''' So who are you Mister?'''' Before the old man could answer the Village chief came running to them while shouting. He and F¨¦lix didn''t really get along too much. Since he was always around Sophia, the village''s chief son, John, had probably a crush for Sophia and of course the father was always there to help. -'''' Oi, F¨¦lix, go home! Don''t bother the Elder!'''' -'''' Such a pain in the ass...'''' F¨¦lix cursed under his breath. -'''' I''ll see you later Elder!'''' F¨¦lix shouted while running home. When he knew nobody was watching he released the butterfly and she flew from there, with an aura of a Queen. He was going to start his training tomorrow. *************************** Elder Drulav Grateria had just arrived at the Keros village. He was a high member from the royal family and he was here to discuss some problems with the village chief. He had already passed by other villages and explained them everything. Apparently, he had the job to warn villages who were farther from the capital of the upcoming war. No one was certain of anything yet, but it''s better to warn while they can. The humans were not on very good terms with the demons, but thankfully we had an alliance with the beast-man''s. And it was not only the humans who had clan''s. Those would do anything for money, even turn against their own kingdom. ************* Drulav had arrived three days ago. He was still here since there were some minor problems. But everything was alright now. He had already packed everything and he would leave tomorrow. In the end of the morning he saw a carriage arriving. Out of it came a couple of elves and a little boy trailing after. He didn''t know there was someone out when he arrived. ************** Drulav was walking at night. Compared to the capital this was a great place to take a walk since in the capital you could always be robbed somewhere in the night, it wasn''t a problem since he was strong but it would blow up the comfortable walk. While walking he saw the elf boy sitting on a bench. He seemed to be drawing, but not with a feather. It was some strange thing he was using to draw. The boy didn''t even notice when he sat beside him. Drulav looked at the drawing and almost gasped in amazement. It was a gorgeous butterfly. If it was real it could be called ''''The Queen of the Butterflies.'''' So young, yet so talented. The boy finished his drawing and gazed at it. Drulav wanted to have a little chat with the boy so he broke the silence. -'''' Great drawing you have there.'''' The boy jumped from the sudden voice and looked at Drulav. -'''' Thank you, who are you?'''' Oh straight forward, Drulav thought. -'''' Why don''t you introduce yourself first?'''' Drulav could see the boy was looking at him with a strange look. He almost chuckled from his innocent look. -'''' Um, ok... I''m F¨¦lix, I live right at that house.'''' The boy said while pointing to a house still surrounded by some plants. It was a simple house, yet very beautiful to gaze at. -'''' Oh, you have some pretty house there. So many kind of plants surrounding it.'''' Drulav was really impressed from the variety of plants and herbs, if he had more time he would wanted to inspect it. -'''' So who are you, Mister?'''' Drulav was about to answer but the village chief ran towards them shouting. The elf boy cursed under his breath and said him goodbye. Such and interesting guy. ********************** When Drulav was about to go out of the village he couldn''t believe what he saw. The exact same butterfly he saw the boy draw perfectly was there flying around. ********************************* Crappy chapter, but oh well... Hope you liked it. Comment, Rate Chapter 7 - Family F¨¦lix was now a strong happy twelve year old boy. Along this two years his father taught him some martial arts and how to wield a sword. F¨¦lix thought it was strange, since his father was a merchant but when he asked him he just said he had learned in some academy. Besides that F¨¦lix quickly became strong. He too improved his Divine Painter power. He now could draw for example a sword and write the attributes on the paper. Like, enchanted or something like that. Of course he had to go watch how were the swords, and thanks to Mr.Carlo, the man who worked as a blacksmith F¨¦lix could learn every little detail. F¨¦lix would enter the same academy as his sister next month, and today was an important day. His sister was going to get married. Keisha and Fred had already graduated. They were already heading there, along with Keisha. They would celebrate this day in a church near the capital, of course from Keisha''s side was only going her brother mother and father. Tanisha never talked about her parents nor Leonardo, it was a touchy subject. Fred had offered them some money to buy clothes. Keisha took nearly five hours getting ready with the help from Tanisha. She wore a beautiful long wedding dress with a simple veil. Her brown hair was now curly and her lips looked rosy. Tanisha wore a formal bun and some simple jewels, along with her crimson dress. Leonardo and F¨¦lix didn''t really had another choice and chose to wear a classy tuxedo. Let''s just stay they were a stunning family. Thankfully they were already arriving. The carriage stopped in front of a beautiful church. There were some guests, nobles, but some were from other family''s, chatting ,drinking and eating. F¨¦lix was surprised that many people came, even if this was a commoner and noble marriage. Maybe they weren''t that bad persons... They immediately stopped and looked at the carriage. The first one to get out was Tanisha, then Leonardo, F¨¦lix and last but not least Keisha. Carefully getting out of the carriage with the help of Leonardo she finally touched the ground and breathed in. She was ready. Everyone sat at their places and waited for the bride to make her entrance. F¨¦lix was too nervous since he was going to be the boy who gave them their wedding rings. The groom, Fred was too very nervous. He was the heir to the House of Lion and he was ready to do this! He is a man! Finally a soft melody started to play and Keisha entered the church along with her father. Everyone stood up and Tanisha was already crying and F¨¦lix had to give her a tissue. When Keisha reached Fred, Leonardo finally let go of his precious girl. This was very difficult for him. The priest started to make his speech. And F¨¦lix rapidly got up and grabbed the wedding rings that were resting on a beautiful pillow. -'''' Now, the wedding rings...'''' The priest motioned for F¨¦lix to advance. Taking tiny steps he finally made to the couple and bowed down on one knee elevating the pillow so that they could pick up their rings. Keisha and Fred picked the rings and gave F¨¦lix a happy smile. F¨¦lix returned to his seat and watched as they exchanged their vows. -'''' Now the groom can kiss the bride.'''' Fred put his hand around her waist, and the other behind her neck. Then he slowly pressed his lips against hers. Everyone cheered and threw flowers while they were exiting the church. There was still going to be a little party so everyone was just having fun. *************************** Leonardo was super nervous. He saw. He saw his family here. Why did they have to come? And they obviously saw him since he took his daughter to the altar. -'''' L-Leonardo.'''' The voice was heartbreaking and he knew who it was. His mother. If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. He turned around to watch a beautiful elf women. She had tears in her eyes ready to fall. She quickly ran towards Leonardo and embraced him in a tight hug. -'''' Mother, how are you?'''' The women could only stroke her eldest son hair in a tenderly way. Her first son, was healthy and happy, that''s all she needed. -'''' It''s been difficult, without you.. Sweetheart why don''t you let go of that women?'''' Leonardo was pissed. They still didn''t get it! Leonardo quickly got out from the tight hug. -'''' You are always the same, don''t you see I have a family with Tanisha? We are happy! Much better than that atmosphere at that house!'''' Even if he was exclaiming he wasn''t shouting. -'''' I see... I won''t question it anymore. I have a beautiful granddaughter.'''' His mother seemed to finally understand or at least try to. -'''' Father!'''' Helen, Leonardo''s mother, looked towards the voice and saw a handsome little boy. She had a grandson too... F¨¦lix grabbed his father''s shirt trying to pull him. -'''' What is it F¨¦lix?'''' F¨¦lix, what a beautiful name.. Helen thought. How could she loose all of this precious time with her family because of some stupid fight. -'''' Sister was calling-'''' F¨¦lix was cut off by Keisha herself. -'''' No need, F¨¦lix I''m already here.'''' Behind her was Tanisha too. Leonardo looked at his wife expecting some kind of emotion, but she seemed relaxed with all of this. Here they were looking at each other. -'''' Father, who is this lady?'''' Before Leonardo could answer his son question ,another man appeared behind Helen. He had a strong aura that screamed ''''power''''. His hair was already white and he had a little mustache. -'''' Father...'''' Leonardo whispered. Keisha and F¨¦lix looked confused. Tanisha could only sigh. This was an awkward atmosphere. -'''' Well little boy, this lady here is your grandmother and I''m your grandfather.'''' Keisha and F¨¦lix looked at them, shocked. This people in front of them, nobles, were their grandparents. Keisha still needed to think more about this but F¨¦lix quickly recovered. -'''' Ooh, it''s a pleasure to meet you! I''m F¨¦lix!'''' Harry, Leonardo''s father, could only chuckle. This boy in front of him was adorable, and his grandson too. They had all those fights years ago and what a better way to make peace between all of them than now? -'''' Son, I''m not good with words and I know me and your mother made some mistakes along our lives. We really regret it, so won''t you forget most of it, so that we can be a family again? And Tanisha. You too we are deeply sorry for all of the fights, we were adults but still didn''t get the fact that our son was marrying a commoner. We learned to accept each person for who they are, and we are thankful you have made our son a happy person.'''' Tanisha couldn''t help the tears streaming down her face. Leonardo wasn''t going to forget nor forgive them for all of this so soon but he couldn''t help being happy. Harry, Helen and Leonardo gave each other a group hug. Helen and Harry couldn''t leave the others aside so Tanisha, F¨¦lix and Keisha ended up joining the hug too. ***************************** When the party ended F¨¦lix, Leonardo and Tanisha said their goodbyes towards Helen and Harry and obviously Keisha and Fred. -'''' Be happy Fred, Keisha.'''' Leonardo and Tanisha said. They were all crying, minus F¨¦lix. He could only think they were all baby''s. But inside he too was really sad. And thus they returned to their peaceful village. Next month was going to be exciting. *************************** Still new at writing here. Hope you liked the chapter! Comment,Rate
