A New Start

I touched the crown and a light blue Wind started revolving around us.

"Viator Viator, quod tu es, ego fui. Quod nunc sum, et tu eris"

[Where does this voice come from?]

Then some kind of window appeared in front of me

[Whoa! So this is what the EMS interface looks like, let's see]

...

I felt as if the sky had just fallen on my shoulders, I wanted to sit in a corner and cry but I was too astonished and confused in that moment to do it.

"…"

"…"

"So this is your status…"

[Only one affinity and it is for water, the kindest element, body potential D, Trait F. This is really…]

"Well… the lazy worker tree's ability doesn't seem so bad for a non-offensive user; you may become a good resource if you go to the Porto Academy"

"Yeah…"

"I'm sorry sir Alexander, but worker are necessary for Edenfall to run too."

"I am okay don't' worry"

The wind and all those information disappeared

"I feel strange"

My head started to spin and I felt incredibly tired, I was fainting but the officer grabbed and shook me before I could fall.

"HEY! HEY! TRY TO RECOVER! This is probably your trait taking effect. You will take a nice nap once at home but now you have to meet the representative of the three academies]

[Y-yes, I have to go outside and tell Big Sis about the results.]

Roriksen passed me a golden bracelet, with a white stone, that emanated an aura similar to the crown of infinite, set on it.

"This is a fragment bracelet. It is made with some dust coming from the crown itself, it will suppress your fatigue for a while."

I took the bracelet and put it on. A stream of energy came out replenishing my body and sustaining me. It was like drinking water in the middle of a hot desert, incredibly refreshing.

"Thank you, so where are the representative you were speaking about? I thought they would be in the entrance hall but I couldn't see them there"

"They are waiting in another room of the sanctuary. Use the door on the left of the one you used to enter the building"

"Okay good-bye sir"

"good-bye mister Alexander, take care"

______________________________________________________

As I was going toward the exit, I started thinking about sis Ramona and Uncle Elijah, I could already see a disappointed expression on their faces.

[What are they going to say? Maybe Ramona will accept it but as for the uncle? He always says that a Morrowitch cannot be a weakling. Is he going to treat me as he treats big sis?]

Before I realised I was already back in the hall with everyone's look turned toward me again.

Just a second later, Elijah was rushing toward me and grabbing my wrist.

"Hurry up Alexander you have to go and meet the representatives, get ready, your life as a warrior is about to begin ahahahahahah. I will foster you in the greatest EMS user believe me; you will bring honour to our family just like me and your grandfather before me ahahahahaahah. "

"Uncle…"

"Don't worry Alexander those three all owes me some favours they won't treat you unfairly. Nothing less than Arama for my nephew."

He couldn't stop grinning and laughing, I was about to collapse, big sis understood what was happening, she joined us immediately and tried to free me from his grip.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop uncle can't you see his face?"

I was watching the floor, I did not have the courage to raise my head and meet his eyes. Then he left my wrist and stayed still.

"Big sis I…"

"It's okay Alexander, It's okay."

She hugged me and I started crying. We stayed like that for over 10 minutes before we split. In the meanwhile, Elijah had turned around and left.

"He hates me now, right?"

"No Alexander, uncle is just made that way"

"Mmh"

[I have no fault and he is not the one who has no talent. So why? Why does he behave like that?]

I suddenly felt angry toward that member of my family that abandoned me in the moment of need. Then I heard the whisperings around us.

"Poor mister Elijah, he has only those two kids, one is ill and the other one is useless"

"Ahahahah the winds of change have begun to blow, seems like the Morrowitch family is going to fall soon enough"

"He didn't deserve such a disgrace after what he passed through for our race."

[So it is like that…]

The sky fell again on my shoulders.

"Am I an embarrassment for the uncle Ramona?"

"Don't worry about these idiots, we just have to hang in there, it's me and you against the world okay?"

[Big sis…]

She was smiling at me. For a moment time stopped, that was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. Perhaps things were not as terrible as I thought; Ramona at least was still there.

"Yes"

I would have remembered that smile forever, even after what happened next.
