Forest Of Acrata....
May 6, 2009....9:40am
"Lucian!! Lucian!!.... How many damn times have I told you not to water my garden with your magic?!!"
The voice was definitely Linda's voice.
She had woken up again, some minutes after Lucian had first woken her up.
She had an angry scowl on her face as she stood there, staring at Lucian from the door that served as an entrance into the house.
Lucian rolled his eyes and with the wave of his hand, dispelled his water magic.
"Sorry mum.... I was just trying to practice my control on water elemental magic".
"You can practice your magic, but not on my garden. Don't tell me you forgot how you flooded my garden the last time. It was terrible.... My garden doesn't need magic to do well. It's better off growing naturally".
"Okay mum. Just as you said, it's better off growing naturally. I would never use water magic on your garden again and wouldn't flood it, like last time".
"It's good that we're on the same page now". Linda said, the scowl still plastered on her face. "Now come in.... and start doing your chores, while I go prepare breakfast".
With that, she turned around and stepped back into the house.
Lucian sighed in disappointment, especially since he isn't allowed to use his water magic on his mother's garden.
The last time he used his water magic in his mother's garden, he was still learning how to control the elemental magic and as a result flooded the whole garden. The crops and plants in the garden all died during that season and since then, Linda wouldn't allow him to use his water magic on her garden. Even despite the fact that he has become very skilled with the water magic.
It wasn't just only that, that made Linda not want Lucian to use his water magic on her garden. She also wanted her garden to grow naturally without the use of any magic.
According to her, she wants her crops to do well naturally, just like every other human cultivated crops do.
There are sometimes when Lucian actually wonders if his mother ever gets the fact that she wasn't an ordinary human.

Actually, Lucian awakened his spirituality at the age of three, which is quite a very young age for humans to awaken spirituality.
It was quite abnormal though. For a human to awaken spirituality at such a young age only makes the individual significant and important.
During the days humans still had the ability to chant spells and wield magic, the most common age to awaken spirituality was about thirty (30) years of age.
In those days young men and women who wanted to join the council of witches and wizards by worshipping the Angel of war, usually had a hard time awakening spirituality, before they joined the council of witches and wizards.
Linda could attest to it that she was very mesmerized and dumbed found when the child she had picked up from the woods, awakened spirituality and the ability to wield magic at a very, very young age.
This had added to her belief that Lucian, was really someone who had a great destiny.
Right now, Lucian is currently eight years old and ever since he awakened spirituality, she had been teaching him with her best effort, on how to chant spells and wield magic.
At four, he was able to use two elemental magic abilities while Linda could currently wield one.
Presently, he wields both wind elemental magic and water elemental magic and also used a unique type of spiritual energy, a blue spiritual energy.
While Linda wields green spiritual energy, the boy she picked from the woods when he was still a baby, eight years ago, wields blue spiritual energy.

Lucian has now finished his house chores as instructed onto him by Linda.
Linda has also finished preparing a humble breakfast of bacon and eggs.
Presently, the two sit down in the living room, having breakfast.
Lucian sits down beside his mother while munching on his humble breakfast.
Although, his mother's cooking is the only cooking he has ever tasted, he still thinks she's the best cook ever.
"Mummy!..... Your meals....are.... always delicious. They are the best". Lucian said in between mouthfuls of food. "You truly are the greatest cook ever".
Linda, who is sitting beside him, while also eating couldn't help but smile crazily. She actually looked like a high school girl being teased by her crush despite her age.
She also loved it anytime Lucian praised her cooking.
He really had a sugar- coated tongue.
"Stop flattering me, child. I'm not that good as you say..... Finish up your food...you know you got drills this morning".
Lucian hummed in response.
"I know Mom... but I can't help but praise this wonderful meal you prepared. It's the best".
"... Alright, alright... Finish up. No talking while eating".
Lucian nodded his head and continued eating. Linda could only shake her head sideways with a smile, still plastered on her face.
As for Delia, she lay curled up in a corner, supposedly asleep.

After eating and dealing with the dishes, both mother and son stepped out of the house once again.
The purpose of leaving the house was to start Lucian's morning drills and training.
Every morning, Linda endeavoured to train and teach Lucian how to wield magic. She had started this right from when he was four years old, after his awakening of spirituality.
Still never forgetting the day, she had picked him up from the woods, Linda swore to herself that she would teach and train him on how to wield magic in order for her not to be the only magic wielder left in the human world (the only human with the ability to wield magic).
However, thanks to the grace of the Angel of War on her (which she doesn't know is dead), she has been able to keep to her vow on teaching Lucian the way of magic.
With patience and diligence, she has taught Lucian on how to wield magic almost better than she, herself and Lucian has ended up being very good and fluent in wielding Magic.
Also, Linda didn't just teach him how to wield magic, she also taught him the ways of the council of witches and wizards.
She had hoped that maybe one day, that through him, the council of witches and wizards would be revived.
And as expected, Lucian got stronger and stronger every day, through Linda's teachings and through his extraordinary set destiny.
He's so strong that Linda sometimes doubt what he could be becoming.
Logically, he's presently a lot stronger than Linda,..... five times stronger than Linda.

"Come on, Lucian.... Stand erect!!"
Linda barked out in an audible voice.
She is currently in her early fifties but still looking a little bit younger. People who may see her for the first time might think she's in her late forties.
She currently wears a green skirt reaching down flawlessly to her ankle. She also tired a long green matching scarf on top of her long dark brown hair and she wore a green and purple coloured blouse to match.
She stood a few meters away from the house.
The small house looked ahead of her as she stood, hands behind her back gazing at Lucian.
"Okay mum". Lucian answered back with his ever childish voice. "I'm ready".
Linda smiled encouragingly at her son.
The natural dark bags around her eyes squinted in the process of her smiling.
The dark bags actually making her look like the witch she really was.
