Baptism 2

"The baptism shall begin!"

The shaman-like priest then began to make some dances that looked like the way they represent animals, it was a bit funny to watch but then he started to walk straight then he spoke in a tone that looked like he was pretending to be someone else and said.

"My childs, today we shall celebrate the birth of new members of our family! Come Lionas, son of Bernard and Lionne! Come Usa, daughter of Guilerme and Yukki! And come prestigious child Alexhander, son of Sir Robert and Lady Bela!Shall my blessings reach you in form of abilities and may the beastman clan prosper!"

As the shaman said the names each of the called went to the altar and presented their child, when the shaman finished give their blessings he threw himself on the floor.Is he okay? Well, nobody tried to help him so it's problably part of the baptism.Then the shaman got up and picked a bowl with a green dye, then he got each of the baby up and showed us to the crowd and to the light of the sun that was illuminating the altar, what is that? where is the circle of life music?Jokes aside it really is a magnificent sight to see, it looked like it was a movie with special effects.Then the shaman said

"May the blessings of the holy forest of tamar give you the strenghs in you battles throughout your lifes!"

The crowd repeated the phrase the shaman said in union and the cheered with clapping their hands.Then the shaman toched the hands of Lionas, than Lionas smashed his hands!They are not broken but it must have hurt, then he touched Usa hands and then she jumped the triple of her height, I see so that's how they identify magic, Lionas magic must be Force and Usa magic must be Impulse, I want to know what is my magic, then the shaman came to me and picked my hand, I felt then a stream flow through my body then this stream bursted in my legs and I moved , it was fast but not for very long, I couldn't continue to run at that speed so maybe it's not speed the type of magic I used but Acceleration.Also look dad I'm up on my feet I even walked a bit, but then fell into my butt.

"We have quite strong children today, right?I bet they will become quite the prodigy in the future."

As the baptism ended everyone left the capel but we children and our parents went to the park and our parents talked for a while I overheard somethings from the convesation, something about paying Usa and Lionas some school fee in exchange for something I coundn't hear since I was feeling sleppy maybe the use magic is acutualy pretty tiring.

Three years has passed and I Lionas and Usa started to play together, it been only a month that I met them again but they are surprisingly sociable.

"Alex, Usa let's see who can climb that tree the fastest?1,2,3 GO!"

As a child I need to play to seem normal but climbing trees are also good for execising my body since I want to see the world I need to know how to fight, after all this is my world.I used magic that I've been trainig to control, and run with a incredible acceleration then jumped high in the tree and climbed till a branch where I rested,

I got some information I got during this three years was that magic is just a mean to boost your phisical ability in our case at least, since there is teperature magic that is not fisic but it's not like you can create fireballs or anything, normally people who have this type of magic create magic tools like a lighter or AC magic tools,magic tolls are consumable since they have a limited amount of mana from the creator and if you can put more mana of the type of the magic tool it's kinda useless since you don't need the magic tool to use it's proprieties, and it's expensive so you can't keep buying it well you do can resell it put you'll need to sell for less than you bought it, well whatever, it's kinda annoying to explain everything but it's needed.

"Alex that's unfair you can't use magic to win in a fisical competintion! Come here and compete with us like a man!"

"Tche, what a sore loser."

Lionas is a sore loser but a good fella, and Usa well she is quite a silent type, some might say she's timid but I think she likes to compete and I think she evaluetes every person she meet in some criteria I don't know, or this is just me fantasizing and she's just a timid girl,but the way she is climbing the tree make it loom like she likes to compete.

Usa have white hair with a bum in the back and red eyes, she expresses herself with small changes in her face so she's quite dificult to read but you can tell her intention a bit by the feeling she gives off.Lionas has a blonde hair with a bit of black in the ends that look like a mane and green eye the same as me.If you read carefully this chapter you may have noticed in the baptism that the shaman called us the beastman clan, well we are still humans, the beastman clan is an ethinity of the human race of this world that belives in the hero-god Tamar, the beastman clan belives that one of the animals tamed by Tamar give blessings to people and they become a human incarnation of these animals, Usa is a bunny, Lionas is a lion and I am a tiger.

"What are you thinking there,hya!"

As I was thinking Lionas pushed me from the branch and I fell.Ouch,ittatata that hurts damn it!

"Lionas, you will pay for this!I chalange you to a beating no magic just our fists this time!"

". . . You shouldn't. . . Lady Bela said you mustn't beat each other. . . "

"You say that but you wanna see wich is stronger the lion or the tiger, right?And Alex I already told you to call me Leo!"

I chalanged Leo , but Usa tried to stop us but Leo is not pacient and she spoke too low.We take out our shirts and look at each other in the field, you could hear the sound of the sheeps, then a ball of hay flew between us like in a cowboy movie and then we charged at each other.
