Magic

The day after that indulgent feast, and after a night filled with revelry as Yiksa watched over the sleeping Kalia while I satisfied the lust of my wife and our two daughters, I was sitting inside with Kalia, everyone else either outside working or hunting.

Last night, I gave Camara {Archer} and {Familial Bond}, while I gave Aethisia {Archer} and {Pleasurable Body}, which took instant effect as she had Camara and I cumming much more frequently when she was inside us.

Rhefia still knew my body best, and her alternating of rough and gentle pleasured me more than any skill could possibly manage.

After such an active night, I found my body to be rather numb and achy, but I didn't let Kalia see that.

I had promised Kalia that I would show her my magic, and maybe she could learn something from it, maybe not.

For the moment, I was reluctant to give her her next two skills, as I didn't want to give her a Breeding skill without giving her a Survival skill to go with it; I didn't want to find out if I only had that one chance to give skills or not, so I wasn't risking it just yet.

The young Dark Elf sat before me, her eyes focused on my hands as I uncorked a vial of rabbits blood, before I gesticulated with my fingers, guiding the blood out of the vial and into the air.

Morphing its shape, I concentrated hard on the blood, molding it into a flat rabbit caricature before changing it into a sphere, letting it float around in the air.

Kalia's pink eyes were wide open as she stared at the blood, curiosity, awe, excitement, and longing inside those glistening pink orbs.

"Mama, mama! How did you do that?!"

Hearing her excited voice, I smiled as I returned the blood to the vial, taking a deep breath as I thought about my answer.

While I moved the blood around, I could feel something connecting me to it, like thin strands or threads.

When I concentrated hard, I could almost see those threads, and my guess was that those threads were mana; my mana.

Now, I couldn't really feel it, nor could I entirely see it, but the threads were becoming 'clearer' to me the more I played around with my Blood Magic.

Besides that, I could also 'sense' the blood inside of others and myself, and out of curiosity I had tried to reach out towards Kalia's blood, only to frown as nothing happened.

I needed to improve my perception and control of mana it seems...

But, firstly, Kalia's question.

"I don't entirely know, little one, so bear with me as I... try to explain it? There are these... threads, that I can manipulate. Now, those threads are-"

She listened intently to every word, and as I spoke I returned to playing with the rabbits blood, using the visual stimulus to explain it better.

As I did so...

[You have unlocked the skill {Mana Sense}]

[You have unlocked the skill {Mana Control I}]

[Mana Sense : You can sense (See, Feel, and Touch) mana around you, be it in the air, inside yourself, or in others.]

[Mana Control I : You can manipulate mana crudely]

Smiling slightly, I finished explaining as I stared at the now visible threads, holding in my awe as I noticed how abundant and how bright they were.

In fact, the threads around Kalia were the brightest I could see, and for a moment I was blinded, but when I thought about canceling the skill, the threads vanished.

I could still feel them, but it was more like a phantom feeling, something that just brushed past me, or was just out of reach.

"Kalia, baby, come here and close your eyes. Mama will help you feel these threads..."

"Really~?! Okay~!"

Scrambling over to sit on my lap, Kalia leaned back into my bountiful chest and rested her head between my breasts, a content smile on her face as she closed her eyes again.

Gently pressing my fingers against her skull, I opened the {Skill Transfer} menu and gave her {Mana Sense} and {Familial Bond}, making Kalia tremble on my lap as a warmth flooded over us.

"Okay baby, open your eyes..."

Kalia nodded, slowly opening her eyes before gasping, her hand shaking as she reached forwards.

Activating my own {Mana Sense}, I saw her pluck one of the threads, her eyes alight with joy.

"When you don't want to see them anymore, just... think about returning your sight to normal. Conversely, when you wish to see them, think about them again. Alright?"

"Yes Mama~! Oh Goddess, this is so beautiful~!"

Chuckling, I started looking around the room, wondering what the world looked like with these threads.

Normal threads were white, and they could be translucent or opaque, while they also shone dimly or brightly.

Beside these white threads, as I glanced at the burning oven, I saw red and orange threads, the mana emitting a warmth throughout my body as I stared at them.

Turning to look at the sink, where a bucket of water sat, I saw blue threads there, while occasionally a pale green thread would slip in from the window or door.

Looking around in wonder, Kalia and I sat together as we took in this new world of ours, the {Mana Sense} skill opening up a new chapter in our life; one that would be the beginning of something wonderful.

A new section of our own books of life, and we didn't know just how important this skill would become.

How it would shape and change the world around us.

How it would push us up above others, strengthening our family beyond what we could ever envision.

All because a mother wanted to grant her daughters wish.

Putting this here just in case; authors have a tab that lets them see PStone donations, comments, paragraph comments, and more, and we get daily reports about those things.

One of those things are Reviews, and I have, apparently, gotten two reviews in the last two days, and yet they aren't there, which is either the website messing up, or people posting a review and using language Webnovel isn't okay with.

So, if you think it could be something bad, which honestly is a blanket term that Webnovel has, put a peri.od between words, like that.

If you reviewed this novel recently, and had a word like gen.der, ra.pe, mur.der, or who the he.ll knows what else, write those no-no words like that, so that I can see your reviews.

That goes for comments too by the way, so just a heads up~
