Family and Goddess 2.164

After the incident with the weapons, Viggo and Rosewisse rested for an hour. Then they took out his wands and Rosewisse began to explain to Viggo how the runes worked and how he should channel his mana so that he could pass through the wand, and he could throw the magic.

Both were at the bottom of the fifteenth-floor alley, where there was only arid earth and solid rock walls. The heat and cold effects of Viggo's weapons had passed, so the place maintained a bearable temperature level.

Rosewisse dressed in her ornamental golden armor, pointed to the background, and pointed with her wand as she explained to Viggo. The latter was only wearing the red robe that covered him from the waist to the knees and leather boots. He was also holding his golden wand, but he had a bored expression.

-Now, with respect to maintaining control, you must keep track of the logical process you do- Rosewisse said in a serious voice and a teacher's attitude -that of doing it out of a feeling or instinct is forbidden-

-That don't ask me so much- Viggo said with a frown.

-No, you said you wanted me to teach you magic. I am a strict teacher, I will not ask you beyond your strength, but do not ask me to be permissive-

-Sounds boring-

-Sounds like a study of magic and understanding. We said we would do it this way, don't escape before we've started-

-Ok, I won't escape the boring study- said Viggo, staring Rosewisse in the eye and asking -If I do it right, is there a prize?-

-That- Rosewisse said, bowing her head, turning red from the neck to her ears as her white wings waved slightly -could, there could be a prize- she said in a low voice, then raised her face and continued in a firm tone -but you must impress me. You must do a magic correctly or I will not consider it, even if you beg and cry-

-That's more than enough- Viggo said with a sly smile.

Rosewisse frowned, kicked him in the tap, and became angry at him for thinking only of his carnal desires. It's not like she's not interested but being too aware of those things wasn't good. She put her hand to her mouth, coughed to get attention and continued -ok, let's put everything on a simple scale, from one to ten. For example, how do you consider your mana control to be?-

-A, well, if we compare it with Dad, I will say a 0.5- Viggo said with an uncomfortable smile.

-Your father is not a point of comparison- Rosewisse said.

-Why with you?-

-Don't you want to?- asked Rosewisse in a small voice.

-No, I, well, with you- replied Viggo, not wanting to earn Rosewisse's anger -let's say a five-

-Stop being pretentious- Rosewisse said with a frown.

-Ok, ok, a three ¿Happy?-

-Why does it bother you to recognize that you're not so good at something?-

-I'm not going to discuss that-

-Ok, well. Let's get on with our own thing. A three is a good description of your efficiency in mana control. I would be five, so don't feel so bad-

-Yes, yes, the goddess of magic does everything right-

-Don't start-

-I don't start anything. Come on, let's continue with the studies-

Rosewisse frowned and folded her arms. Viggo looked in another direction and made the mistake. In the end, Rosewisse armed herself with patience and continued her explanation for several hours until they began to practice magic. The task was "simple", Viggo had to channel mana to the wand, generate a circle of magic with Isa's rune and launch an ice projectile the size of a fist. Short story, Viggo couldn't.

Rosewisse stared at Viggo for a long time and said -ok, let's try it with Sowelu. Throw a fireball, but beware of the power of your magic-

-I understand- replied Viggo, pointed the golden wand at a rock wall, channeled mana, and this time the circle of magic manifested. The fireball flew out, hit the rock, and exploded in a sea of flames. Viggo and Rosewisse were twenty meters away, so they were not hit.

-I'm telling you to control your mana- Rosewisse said with a frown -Why is it hard for you to listen to my words?-

-I didn't do it on purpose, this thing is very strong- Viggo said, pointing to the wand in his right hand with his left hand.

Rosewisse stared at him and when she saw that he was serious, she believed him. She let out a sigh thinking that teaching others was hard -ok, let's see it as your affinity. That's why you can do that kind of magic and with so much power- she said -but this is a problem, because it means that you can't perform Blessing of the Sun or any other magic. Tell me did you read Kiara's book ?-

-Yes- Viggo said with some annoyance -complete, from cover to cover, several times. I can even recite the pages, their content and all that-

-We are going to have to continue practicing-

-How about recording the runes?-

-How? Do you mean to record them on the wand? But if the runes are already engraved on the wand-

-Not the runes, I mean the magic itself. Father taught me how to make those rings. They do not serve us much, but it is a logical system that could be imitated and occupied in other things. That means that if we turn a magic into a written system that facilitates its activation, we will only need to feed the wand with mana and we could throw all the magics we wanted-

-Mmm- Rosewisse said with a flirtatious smile -sometimes you come up with sexy things-

-I always come up with sexy things, only you are not used to recognizing my genius-

-You only think with what hangs between your legs. Don't tell me stories-

-Hey, am I the vulgar?-

-Well, who is to blame? I wasn't like that when I met you. We've only spent a couple of months together and look what I've become-

-In that case, let's separate-

-Well-

-Well, you can go on your own-

-You first-

-Not me, I'm a native, you're the one who's in disgrace-

-Do you want to fight?-

-Whenever you want-

Rosewisse frowned and stood in front of Viggo as she looked into his eyes. Viggo held his gaze, wait, and wait. She never left but punched him in the ribs.

-I hate it when you get silly- Rosewisse said, turned around and started walking.

-Hey- Viggo said, feeling like he was short of breath -it was just a joke-

-Go bother your mother, you-

-You don't have to get angry- replied Viggo and began walking after Rosewisse. Within a few steps reached her, she was walking too slowly. He took her by the wrist, she stopped, and Viggo stood in front of her. She looked really upset.

-I'm sorry- Viggo said in a soft voice.

-"I'm sorry"- Rosewisse said in a mocking tone -you don't even know why you're apologizing-

-Well, I don't know, but I apologize for whatever is bothering you-

-You see, you are silly to the core-

-Yes, yes, Viggo the fool to the core apologizes-

-Don't be condescending-

-I am not condescending-

-You're really upset- Rosewisse said in frustration.

-Really?- asks Viggo with a sly smile, shortening the space between the two. Rosewisse looked down, her cheeks blushed, and then looked into his eyes.

-Me, me, well...-

However, before she could continue, Viggo gave her a kiss. Rossewisse melted in his arms. Her wings flared and she calmed down. In the end, Viggo separated by a few centimeters and looked Rosewisse in the eye.

-I only forgive you because your kisses are good- Rosewisse said in a spoiled voice.

-Just good?- said Viggo giving her another, soft, tender, to at the end, bite her lower lip. Rosewisse pulled her face closer, took his head by the back of his neck and continued to kiss him.

An hour later they were outside the dungeon, walking hand in hand as Rosewisse drew attention to her beautiful white wings.

-Is it really about recording the magic?- asked Rosewisse in a low voice -I had never heard something like it?-

-Well, if weapons can manifest the power of the elements, why couldn't wands manifest magic?- replied Viggo.

-Are you crazy, you know?- replied Rosewisse with a smile -and I'm going crazy too. For some reason I think you can achieve it-

-I don't see the bad stuff-

Rosewisse hugged Viggo's arm and rested her cheek on his shoulder -no, I don't see the bad for it either. I like this-

-I also like you- replied Viggo.

They continued down south on the main avenue until they reached the street where they had to turn right to follow the bottom of the West region, where Hephaestus' mansion was. Blacksmith shops were open and adventurers quoting weapons and repairs. The blacksmith district was full of chimneys and from all of them came a cloud of tubular smoke.

Rosewisse passed by looking towards the shops, appreciating the armor and swords -hey, are you sure to go to Muspelheim before your son is born?- she asked casually -we can wait. I don't want Semiramis to be angry with me-

-I have already told you that she is not angry with you. She's just too serious. In addition, I have the permission of Semiramis. She consulted with Kiara and told her that all possibilities are in our favor. So, there should be no problems-

-That's very useful-

-Kiara says no. The future is constantly changing and to ensure that something is one way and will not change, is complete stupidity. My father also said something about it. Destiny or future is the sum of the actions that bring a result. Simply put, to every action there is a reaction. However, looking to the future can be something of an insurance. I don't think we're going to have a problem either. When I was a kid, I wasn't even half as strong as I am now. So, I think it will be easy to overcome the challenge of Surtr-

-In that case you should start working on your theory of writing the magics, we could occupy that place as a testing ground- Rosewisse said.

-But I have not yet tried materials and I do not know for sure how to write the magics. In addition, there is almost no time left-

-That's the best, something good could come out. I was also in trouble a long time ago and that made me stronger. Come on, try it. Some time ago you told me that you used those monster stones to write the rune of Sowelu and Isa Do you remember? Why don't you try that?-

Viggo looked at Rosewisse with a sly smile and said -you can also think of sexy ideas-

-For you to see- Rosewisse said, stopping. Viggo also stopped and she intertwined her arms behind Viggo's neck -I'm learning some bad things, but also the good things-

-That's good, I like it- replied Viggo and gave her a deep kiss as everyone passed by watching.
