a thirst for mana

alice spoke "and that's what happened~"

blake released alice and spoke "so your saying aunt made a substitute of us?"

(sorry blake but there are things you shouldn't know yet----or I'll kill you)

alice replied "y-yup---so we can stay here as long as we want~"

whew*

blake replied "you got me nervous there"

chuckle*

after their conversation, both of them went downstairs to the living room and saw a kitchen and a dining room at the back.

pearl spoke "oh, just right in time, let's eat"

alice spoke "coming~"

alice and blake walked to the dining room and saw food on the table. pearl who already sat down waiting for them, asked them to sit down and eat. after their done eating, alice helped pearl with the dishes while blake who has nothing to do went straight to his room.

blake after entering his dark room, lied straight to his comfy bed, he brought his necklace out and stared at it with a sense of disappointment.

sigh*

blake spoke "guess, I'll just carry you around for now."

blake, who was getting sleepy staring at the ceiling closed his eyes, then he suddenly thought of absorbing mana, no, to be exact, blake suddenly felt a strange urge to absorb mana.

huff* huff*

blake who was lying quietly on the bed, began breathing heavily while sweating bullets, then he opened his eyes and sat down.

huff* huff*

blake continued to breathe heavily and felt that he was craving something, then blake closed his eyes and followed what his instinct was telling him, that is to absorb mana.

when blake started absorbing mana, he was engulfed by a silver-gold mana covering him like fire. as he absorbs mana, he felt the urges started getting weaker and his breathing started to stabilizing.

blake enjoyed the feeling of absorbing mana so he kept doing it, the rate of Blake's mana absorption is so fast, that his body is becoming stronger by the second without him noticing.

blake kept absorbing mana till morning, he didn't know the effects of absorbing mana, so it came to surprised him later.

3 hours past, it's already afternoon and blake hasn't stop absorbing mana yet, alice and pearl started to worry.

alice spoke "why isn't he coming down yet?

pearl replied "maybe, let's just give him sometime for himself, I think it's because he failed to awaken an natured mana."

alice replied "yeah, maybe you're right--"

after one night and one afternoon blake finally stopped absorbing mana and started opening his eyes slowly.
