Chapter 16 - Forest

Third Person's POV (4 yrs. and 4 months old)

Life Moon form, Death Moon form, and Light and Dark Moon magic, seems like he got some new skills to test out, although he already know how to use the other elements, and are planning to create new ones out of light and dark magic, mehhh..... this might still work for him!

His smile turned up to a small smirk.

Though these skills came from the Moon, or created by the Moon, therefore these skills are also incorporated by the power of the Moon. Or is it a Light and Dark magic version of the Moon, or was it Moon's version of Light and Dark magic....? Huh? Now he’s confused, But... Yeah.... Ugh! Who is he kidding......

Thoughts taking a fleeting moment to be grasped, his stare at the ceiling felt like it could bore holes through, White just laying beside him on the pillow, staring at his host.

'Why are you talking to someone? Who -apparently- isn't there?'

'Shush White, I'm just conversing with the people at the 4th screen or wall for that matter.'

'Huh, the 4th what now?... haha, you and your silly ways.'

*Flushes internally*

'You didn't have to tease me!'

'Mmmh' still White’s chuckles were caught by Ken’s ears, him pouting childishly at the orb of white beside him. Smiling off that playful banter, he contentedly sighed and hugged the blanket to himself.

A thought came to him. He held out both his hands, focusing on the two energies at the palm.

One white orb having silvery black streaks appeared on his right palm and a dark orb having silvery white streaks appeared on his left palm, both are unstable for a moment.

‘WOW! They look so shiny!!!! Nope! Wait! Let's Focus! aaaannnnnddddddd...... There! They're stable now.’

‘Looking at it from close range, both emit strong magical powers, wait strong magical powers!? Oh I will be royally screwed if both my parents notice something off within my bedroom, more specifically the house! Quick, Create, Spacial Arcane and Elemental Barrier!’

[Skill Created]

[Skill in effect]

‘Phew~ the room radiates a purple glow now, oh what's this?’

[You have successfully combined three types of magic to create a strong barrier, to make it far more stronger, would you like to incorporate also the light and dark magic?]

"Yes please." He replied not minding the jolly tone he used.

[Modifications complete! Skill in effect]

‘Woah! The surroundings of my walls look like space! Seems like mixing space, light, dark, arcane, and elemental magic really did the trick.’ Turning his gaze around, he nodded of his work. ‘Commence invisibility of the barrier.’

[Commencing command. Command in effect.]

‘The window system is on voice command, oh no wait, more like, my spells are on voice and thought command, including my windows too, I just said that didn't I? meh......’

A big yawn escaped his lips, with a content sigh he smiled to himself.

‘I'm going to sleep now... because it's already night, and in case you were wondering, I had just a little bit playtime with my scythe earlier this afternoon, at first it was hard since the handle would sometimes hit me on my head

But after a couple twirling and tossing into the air and catching it without grazing my arms, I'm pretty stable on it now, and as for the other two, they learned how to use their weapons pretty quickly, as they had taken half the time to get the hang of their weapons compared to mine, which was four hours later. hehe...

I'm sleepy goodnight!’ as do his thoughts drift through.

*SNORE*

Third Person's POV (Ken 4yrs. and 8 months old)

Seeing as it had already been 4 months ago since the three companions had chosen to pick their weapon of choice, everyday they are trained vigorously, I know boring right? with their days only spent on training, but they’re kids, and in the mind of the author or more like their parent's minds, it's better to be prepared for the future, in this world where the strong tramples over the weak, oh but Ken, Wilbert, and Celine are strong, like really strong.

While the three are training under the heat of the sun, casting spells, weaving and slashing their weapons, or in Celine's case, shooting arrows, the three pairs of parents,-namely Ken's, Wilbert's, and Celine's Parents-, are sitting under the shade of a tree at the edge, south of the field, the adults are situated at a circle, seemingly discussing among themselves.

"I think the kids are strong enough to wonder even deeper to the forest, but into the elder forest, just where the majority of the weak monsters are situated." said Alfred, Ken's father.

"I agree with you Alfred, what's more better in learning how to fight, is to actually be in a fight." seconded by Erick, Wilbert's father.

"But won't they get hurt?" asked Kel, Celine's mother.

"Yeah, it'll be too dangerous for kids their age." said Vin, Celine's father.

"Don't worry, we'll accompany them in the shadows, because as you all know, my wife here is really good at illusions, and once we see other monsters that are too much for our kids to handle, we shall handle it ourselves." said Alfred.

"Oh you, stop complimenting my skills, compared to yours, I feel like an ant to a lion." said Lyn, Ken's mother, acting all dreamy and looked away from her husband, Alfred hugged his wife, and spoke sweet words to her making the both of them giggle. Sigh, Young adults.

"EHEM!... sorry for interrupting, let's go back to the topic at hand, so you mean, you want us to fight too Alfred?" asked Lorna, Wilbert's mother.

"Yes, and it would also be wise to exercise our magic, we might not know anytime soon, we would undergo a tragedy, and all of us are not prepared, what would happen to our children?" said Alfred, sentimental words coming off in waves through his words.

"Oh yeah, we heard about what happened to you in the past, but let's focus on the present, on the contrary, you're idea seems great, I'll allow you to let my daughter experience battle, since she would just stay at a nearby tree whenever me and my warriors are out and hunting with her." said Vin.

"Okay, now that we're all settled, we should probably be on our way, seeing as we still have to prepare for our meals." said Kel.

"I agree with her, I better go home to-." said Lorna, but got interrupted.

"And who said you guys would be going home, everyone in this circle are to take part in the hunt with the kids." said Alfred.

"You're kidding right?" said Lorna.

"Nope, I'm not kidding, don't think you'll get away again Lorna, last time I checked you're having trouble remembering how to evoke spells, but no worries me and my wife shall take the privilege of refreshing with you the spells that has been taught to us when we were still at the academy,

and If any one of you tries to sneak out of the group, within 500 meters away, you will be teleported back to the group, hehe." said Alfred smugly.

"Harsh, didn't think you'd drag us into this, but oh well, we're all here might as well get on with it." said Erick.

"That's the spirit! Now let's go tell the kids, Hey KIDS!." said Alfred all the while the others Erick excluded, are dumbfounded by Alfred's statement, but composed themselves a while after the initial shock and started packing out their things for the said trip to the forest.

Luckily, Alfred told everyone in advance to bring their own gear and weapon, Lyn, as a battle mage as she is, carries around with her, her staff with a sapphire jewel at the top, tightly secured to the staff with metal bindings with runes running along its lines,

And with a couple of chanting, evoke her mage dress, that of a robe with off shoulders, which clung tight to her curvy body while the lower part was loose, her get up looks like a T-shirt and shorts, but with leather boots up to her lower knees and the robe of course, with a strap she secured her staff at her back.

Meanwhile Kel and Vin are only wearing their tribes clothing, while Vin is carrying two curved swords, and Kel carrying bracelets. Lorna, who is an experienced battle mage, decided to be a support for the team, and brought with her, her floating orb of power,

Able to grant buffs and debuffs, while Erick, brought with him his Knight armor, with a shield and a double-edged sword, his armor is designed with gold linings, and the chest is shaped that of a lion.

And lastly Alfred, who only whore pants, a blue t-shirt and a leather jacket, coupled with gloves, as a battle mage along with Lyn and Lorna, did not carry with him any weapons, because he is experienced in fighting in close combat with or without magic, he has profound control over his magic.

After Alfred told the three kids of his plan, he quickly teleported them three 1 mile north of the field, and quickly ran back to their group and teleported themselves near the three only 1mile northwest of the field.
