Elemental Summoner 1, D. Levesque [ereader android TXT] 📗

couple of seconds. “Yeah. Blue, a powerful blue throughout your entire body.”

“And when you looked at me?” Bridget asks eagerly.

“Yours was more intense; it was like tons of colors, almost like a kaleidoscope of colors.”

“So, say like red, blue, white, brown or green, and purple?” Leeha offers me.

“What? You think what I am seeing is your magic?” I ask her, surprised. No fucking way? I can see the magic around me? Or in others?

“Well, if it’s what you called it, a Third Eye, that would be amazing! Imagine what you could do with it!” Bridget cries happily, and I hear her clap her hands.

“Like what?” I ask her, curiously.

“Eer, I don’t know,” she says, sounding uncertain. “I figured you might have ideas.”

I can’t help but laugh at her attitude. I need to remember she never really ‘lived’ before, and she might have knowledge, but that’s it. Getting up and sitting on my ass, I face the direction the girls’ voices are coming from without opening my eyes.

“Let’s try this again, shall we?” I tell them both.

“Are you sure?” Leeha asks me, concerned.

“Yes, I can’t be walking around with my eyes closed now, can I?” I tell them with a chuckle.

“True, but take it slow!” Leeha says anxiously.

“I will, I promise,” I tell her, nodding towards her voice.

Taking a deep breath, I open my eyes slowly, almost squinting, but I am blasted with the light coming from their direction. Closing my eyes again, I turn my head away from them so they will not be in my line of vision, and I open my eyes. What I see takes my breath away. There is light everywhere, it almost looks like vapors of light. And they’re all different colors! Whoa! Is that magic in the air? But I thought magic came from inside the person and their Elemental?

“Bridget, where does magic come from?” I ask her curiously, turning back to them both but keeping my eyes closed.

“From the Elemental, of course,” she says, as if I had asked a dumb question.

“All right, and where does the Elemental get the magic from?” I ask her.

“From inside them,” she says, but now I hear some doubt in her voice.

Deciding to push it and see if she truly knows, I ask her, “Are you sure? What if you run out? Where do you, say, recharge from?”

“I think we just do.” I can imagine the frown on her pretty Elven features.

“Well, I think I might know where it comes from,” I tell her with a grin.

“What? You do?” Bridget says in surprise.

I wave my hand around me, still with my eyes closed. “I think it comes from all around. When I opened my eyes, not looking at you but just at the surrounding area, all I saw were vapors of lights. I saw blue, green, red, white, and purple.”

“What?” Leeha says in astonishment. “You can see magic in the air?”

“Yep,” I tell her with a laugh.

“Can you touch it?” Leeha asks me hesitantly.

“I don’t know,” I tell her in shock. Is it tangible?

Turning so the girls are away from me, I open my eyes and see the lights again. They are all over the place! Though, when I look at a tree, where I expect it to be lit up with green energy, there isn’t anything. What the fuck? So the trees have no energy in them? Getting up and stepping away from the girls, I move until I am right in front of a cloud of white energy that is mixed in with some blue. I slowly reach out and put my hand in the cloud.

Time to absorb the energy: 00:00:04:59.

“What the fuck!” I blurt out in surprise. What the hell is this?

“What?” Leeha says from right behind me. She must have followed me.

“What do you see?” Bridget asks me eagerly, and she is behind me as well.

“I can absorb the energy,” I tell them both numbly.

“What?” they both shout in astonishment.

“Yeah. It’s telling me for the small cloud that is in front of me, it will take five minutes to absorb its energy.”

“Energy? Not power?” Leeha asks me carefully.

“Yes. Energy. Oh shit. Energy, not power! When you use Elementals, they use power! But wait. How is there Elemental energy here, but not power?” I ask, mystified.

“Alex,” Bridget says hesitantly. “When we Elementals give our mages power, we convert the energy into their power pool.”

“So what does it mean that I can use energy now? What does it mean for you?” I ask her.

“I am not sure,” she says slowly. “You are the first one I have ever heard of with this ability. Even with all the knowledge your God has given me.”

“Oh,” I tell her.

Closing my eyes, I turn back towards the girls and slowly try to squint my eyes open again. Once more, I am blasted with light, but I ignore the headache this time. I look at them and see that they are bright, but not as bad as before. Maybe I am getting used to it, or my Third Eye is.

You have stopped absorbing the energy from your target.

Energy absorbed: 01 of 50.

Interesting, so I can absorb single units of energy. I slowly open my eyes wider and wider until I see the girls’ full outline, including their energy. Leeha is pure blue, and Bridget is the multicolors of all the Elementals, and I realize that Earth is green, not the brown that I expected. Finally, I’m able to open my eyes fully. I walk closer to them and peer at the energy. Wow, this is fucking cool! The energy in Leeha is moving around inside her, and it’s the same when I look at Bridget’s. Reaching out, I place a finger against Leeha’s chest.

Time to absorb the energy. 00:09:59:59.

“What the fucking hell!” I cry, pulling my finger away from her.

You have stopped absorbing the energy from your target.

Energy absorbed : 00 of 4000.

“What?” Leeha says worriedly.

“I touched you and it said I was absorbing your energy, and it would take
