Chapter 5, Finding My Unique Magic

"Sit down. Meditating can help a lot when finding your unique spell." Listening to her I sat down and started to meditate.

________________________________________________________________

While falling into a deep meditative state my mom spoke in a quiet and focused voice. "Try to look for a small mana sphere in your chest, once you find the mana sphere look inside of it and try and sense if there is something that seems weird, that will be your unique magic, the magic should come naturally to you." her last words faded in my ears as I was fully in a meditative state. While meditating I found large mana vain and followed it to the center, in the center there was a sphere of mana with a slight blue tint to it.

' I guess this is my mana core, better start searching around.' I thought and started my search, while searching it felt like I was covered in a viscous liquid and trying to swim in it. At the center of my core, there was what looked to be three other people that looked like shadows of me holding three different weapons and armor that matched, a sword with light armor, a shield with heavy armor, and a blue staff with a long cape and robes.

When I stared at these four shadowy figures they turned their heads to me and stared right back at me, it felt more like I was looking at a mirror rather than some shadows. Suddenly my vision started to blur and shake, then everything turned black.

Pov change [mom]

I started to meditate with my son to try and help him find his unique magic, and I was watching his consciousness move around to find his mana core, when he found it his consciousness started to merge with the mana core and he started to blackout, when I saw this I broke out of my meditative state and started to shake him to try and stop him but it was too late.

My son's body went limp, he was still breathing so I can assume that I stopped it before it merged completely. He was sleeping at this point so I picked him up and ran inside. Right before I entered the door I yelled at Anthony. "Anthony go buy some high healing potions from the market our son is going through a core merge!" and threw a coin pouch that was on my side, when Anthony heard this he stopped sparing with Alex and Oliver, looked over, caught the pouch, and started to run yelling out. "Got it Jean ill be back in an hour!"

Alex and Oliver were both surprised but for different reasons, for Alex, it was the fact that John even had the power and unluckiness to merge with his core at the age of five, and for Oliver, it was how everyone was reacting to this, as he wasn't taught about core merging yet.

When I got into John's bedroom I put him down on his bed and took off the extra clothing from his body, leaving only the t-shirt and shorts. I started to use the ranked 1 ice spell [chill] as he was starting to sweat from the heat his body was emitting. Keeping the output of the spell low and waited for my husband to come back with the high potion as only rank five healing magic and above can help with a core merge.

1 hour passes

Anthony nearly burst through the door and yelled. "Catch!" and threw a high potion at me, it was going too fast and would have smashed into my hand, so I used magic to slow and catch the potion, I ripped the top off and put it to my son's mouth and forced him to drink it.

While drinking the second potion his eyes shot open and sat up quickly cough and choking on the potion, when I saw him sit up I hugged him, not noticing I had forgot to stop my mana from flowing.

Pov change to [John]

My body felt very cold and a strange liquid going down my throat so I ended up cough up the liquid and sat up, only to be crushed with a hug by my mom and my dad joining shortly after. "What happened?" I asked because I was very confused about blacking out, waking up, and nearly being crushed to death.

My mom responded very quickly with a slight tremor in her voice. "Your consciousness nearly merged with your core, this is a very rare occurrence and could have made your core implode and kill you, it's even rarer since you are five. But this does at least have some good news to it, this means that your unique magic and core is very strong."

'Well, this is good news.' I thought. I do wonder who/what those shadow look-alikes are, and if I can even use them ill have to ask my mom to help me with this latter. Now that I think about I can feel my mana core without trying. 'I wonder if some of my consciousness merged with my core, and now I can naturally feel it. I will experiment with this latter.'

Jean broke the silence by saying. "Come on let's go eat the diner that the maid prepared, we missed lunch already and I bet you are already hungry." Almost if on cue, my stomach rumbles. We went down and had some flayed fish for diner.
