Blaze was standing in the middle of the street with crossed arms and an annoyed look on his face
'Where the hell is that woman?!'
'I've not been able to find her for three days now!'
It deeply frustrated him
'Every time I come to the clinic it's closed ... where has she disappeared?'
He sighed and decided to wait for a while
'Today might be the lucky day ...'
And just like he wished, after waiting for a while, he sensed her aura enter his Domain
'Finally! This is my chance'
Before anyone else could get the chance to talk to Remedy, Blaze went and asked her to visit his house ...
Initially, Remedy wanted to refuse. But after Blaze explained Viorica's situation, she reluctantly agreed and followed him to his house ...
Blaze was walking with quickened steps, making her unable to keep up
"They both should be fine, there's no reason to worry like this, stop hurrying" She complained from behind ...
"The boy is mostly quiet and sleeps for too long, while Viorica is not as healthy as usual. Something is wrong"
Remedy brushed it off
"I'm sure it's nothing, Blaze. You're just worrying too much"
"We're almost there anyway"
After walking for a couple of minutes, they reached a medium-sized house with a nice garden.
The house was more like a Villa.
Only the upper class in the city, like Elites, high-ranking officials, and rich merchants could afford to own such a house.
The two entered the house and found Viorica in the lobby. Remedy was about to check on her first but Viorica stopped her
"Can you please check on Leus first? I'm worried about him"
Remedy nodded
"Take me to him"
She followed Viorica to Leus' bed
"Please have a seat, I'll do what I have to do"
Remedy said that to Viorica and then began chanting something ...
After she was done with the first chant, both her eyes began to glow brightly. Then she chanted another spell that filled Leus' body with white light.
Remedy began to examine Leus' body, and very quickly she was surprised by what she saw ...
'The body seems fine, but there is nothing normal about it ...'
She quickly became intrigued
'Interesting, I've never seen anything like that before'
Just to make sure that nothing was wrong with the spell, Remedy re-examined Leus' body 3 times, but the results were always the same.
Viorica noticed that Remedy had taken a lot longer than usual so she asked with a worried tone
"Is everything okay?"
Remedy quickly fixed her expression and replied
"Yes, everything is alright. Let's check on you now"
Remedy repeated the process, but this time, the results were rather worrying ...
By the time she was done examining Viorica, Leus got up, so he started to listen to their conversation ...
Remedy noticed that and said
"Let me re-check on him now that he's awake"
She wasn't sure if that would make any difference
'Actually, I'm certain that it'll make no difference ... I just want to see it again'
While she was chanting, Leus was intently trying to understand what she was doing
' ... She's obviously using Magic, but I don't know what type exactly'
So he focused on the chant and how it felt
'Maybe I can replicate it later'
When Remedy was done she called Blaze
"Let's speak outside the house, can you both come with me?"
Remedy didn't want Amethyst or Merlin to hear what she had to say, but that made Leus even more curious.
Sadly, there was nothing he could do to hear the conversation ...
'But no! There's something'
A smirk appeared on his face
Leus started crying loudly, and it worked like wonder.
As soon as he started crying, Viorica came and held him ...
"Can't we talk here? I'll ask Amethyst and Merlin to play in the yard. I don't want to leave him crying"
Remedy nodded
"Yes, of course"
Leus' plan worked
'Hehe, it's so easy to get all the attention I want'
He quickly focused on their conversation
'Now let's hear what this one has to say'
Viorica sat on the bed holding Leus, while Blaze and Remedy were standing in front of her on opposite sides.
Leus was impressed by their looks
'What a combination of hair colors in this room ...'
'Red, blue, and white'
' ... I wonder what color will mine be'
When he thought about that he realized something
'Actually, I don't even know how I look ... I didn't see myself until now'
Remedy began talking, bringing Leus back to the present
"As for the little boy, he's fine. However, for some reason, his mana reserve is lower than it should be, but the overall capacity of his mana is much higher than average newborns"
Viorica didn't understand anything, so she grew worried and asked in a low, almost depressed tone
"I didn't understand, what does that mean?"
Remedy noticed her distress and calmed her down
"Don't worry, it's not something bad"
She took a pause to organize her thoughts
'How should I explain that? ...'
She tried to simplify it
"In simpler words ... if a normal newborn's mana reserve is 1, then your son's mana reserve is 12. However, out of the 12, Only 50% is full. This means that half of his Mana Pool is empty"
She continued
"Regardless of all that, his Life Force is perfectly fine, which means that he's healthy and well"
Blaze asked
"So he has more mana than normal children?"
Remedy nodded
"Yes, exactly"
Viorica asked
"And what should we do about the problem? That his Mana Pool is half empty?"
Remedy shrugged
"Nothing much. Let him sleep more and make sure to feed him on time. It'll fill on its own; his body will absorb it naturally from the atmosphere"
Blaze concluded
"So in short, we don't have to do anything and he'll be fine"
Remedy agreed
"Yes, no reason to be worried about him"
After she heard that, Viorica breathed a sigh of relief.
Sadly though, her relief didn't last long ...
Remedy spoke in a neutral tone
"Now about Viorica, there's a serious problem"
The room's atmosphere turned solemn; Blaze was unconsciously releasing an oppressive Aura ...
Remedy noticed that, but she didn't pay it any mind and continued
"The quantity of her Mana is low, but not only that ..."
She added in a more serious tone
"Her Life Force is weak. Normally, it should recover over time, but that isn't happening."
She eyed Blaze for a moment then continued
"It seems that the delivery took a toll on her body, causing internal complications. I can't think of any other reason"
Blaze asked in an earnest tone
"Can you do something about it, Remedy?"
Remedy looked Blaze in the eye and replied with a tinge of arrogance
"There aren't enough Elite Light Mages here in Crimson-Walls. Even the number of Light Mages is low. I don't think YOU can get help here"
Blaze understood her passive-aggressive remark, so he narrowed his eyes
"Okay ... Instead of telling me this, how about you tell us what should we do?"
Viorica noticed the tension in the atmosphere and tried to calm Blaze down
"Blaze, please, calm down. She has nothing to do with this"
She turned to Remedy and said
"I apologize on his behalf, Doctor Remedy, please continue"
Blaze only sighed
"Fine, I'm sorry. Continue ..."
