247 A Week After
—–
It has been around a week since I learned that my father went back home without even telling me about it. I have grown a bit angered at him and my mother, but that anger quickly faded away when I realized I was acting too childishly, I should be more mature about these things instead of holding up grudges to people that genuinely care for me and love me… But I still felt bad for Yggdra, I wish I could meet her again soon, but that doesn’t probably seem to be the case. We are slowly moving farther and farther from the jungles, and we were getting closer to the coasts, I could even see the ocean in the long distance by using my eyes, it was beautiful.
I think I have only seen it before through flying in the skies atop my parents Familiars when we descended from Cloudia. But seeing it now with my two eyes is quite pretty… But we’ll probably take two weeks to get there at the pace we are going now. Of course, if it was just my family and me, we could easily get there sooner, but we are carrying an entire tribe of Amazon people with us, we have to take breaks every day, make a camp, and everything else, and that takes a long time, eating away the time of the day, we often just travel around 8 hours before setting down and resting until the next morning.
My parents can make all sorts of crazy things with magic but bringing such a large group of people to another continent is a monumental task that takes its time no matter how much magic they can have. Although they often said that if they had Tier 8 Space Magic, it wouldn’t be so hard to teleport everybody into the continent, but people with such an element are incredibly rare. My father specializes in fire and the sword, while my mother in healing, light, and life, so they cannot do stuff like that. Although they got all other magics learned, they’re nothing too special, and mostly used for support or daily life activities… Yeah, I guess I have thought that they’re not special but still, creating a pocket dimension where you can save an entire house inside is quite special. But I suppose that to do something like a mass teleportation, you need to be even better at space magic.
About magic itself, I didn’t had much time to learn new elements, but I have continued to specialize on my own elements, my mother had resumed teaching me new spells as we moved across the caravans, although she said that after we got to the elven kingdom, I would be able to enter the Magus Academy and be taught by “professionals” which she says are even better than her at teaching magic, and even older.
Today, after breakfast, my mother was mentioning her past. Aquarina and Zack had also joined the magic classes she does, as Nepheline and Ninhursag said that there was nobody better at teaching magic than Faylen, and that they wouldn’t be able to do a good job at teaching her unlike my mother. As we sat over our desks inside the carriage, which was quite wide inside, and as I felt the calm and cold breeze of the wind outside, my mother spoke rather carefreely.
“I used to be a teacher in the most prestigious Magus Academy inside of my Kingdom… I studied there for many years and ended becoming a teacher. I was often said to be not so good at magic, but the teachers always complimented me because unlike those that were very talented, I studied magic formulas the most, and was very similar to a Wizard, who are innately average at magic talent but research magic a lot… That’s how I ended becoming a Scholar before becoming a Teacher though.” She said. “I also studied Alchemy and became an Alchemist and Doctor, and helped the Academy by creating some new potion recipes, such as potions that could heal headache, stomachache, and more.”
“Ooohhh! That’s so interesting!” I said. I was always quite fascinated when my parents spoke about their past, it was as if I was listening to the life of very famous people.
“But Auntie Faylen, why didn’t the people used magic to heal stomachache and headaches?” Asked Aquarina.
…..
“That’s a good question, Aquarina.” Said my mother. “The thing is, people in the elf kingdom are not all amazing at magic, not everybody has big pools of mana either, this is mostly limited to nobility families, while the rest of the commoners are a mix between elves, beast-kin, and humans… Although a lot of extremist nobles like to say that these people are not citizens, they truly are, and help at the economy tremendously, caring about people that cannot easily heal themselves with magic was a priority that not many wanted to take due to their own stupid pride…” Sighed my mother, as she waved her head in disappointment.
“W-What? Elves there are starting to sound like assholes now…” Said Zack. “Ah! S-Sorry if I offended you…”
“No, don’t worry, Zack. It is a natural response for any normal person with a sane mind to think of them as idiots.” Sighed my mother. “I also think the same. I dedicated a lot of my first hundred years researching magic and alchemy to create new and more accessible potions and consumables for the people to help them at their daily lives, using cheap ingredients to reduce the costs, so more commoners can afford to buy them, it was quite the challenge… But I managed to create various concoctions for every day, and people quickly began using these small flasks to heal their headache, stomachache, or sometimes to treat other illnesses such as cold, throat pain, and more.” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Amazing, so my mother not only could heal people with magic, but she researched and created medicine that even commoners could afford…
