Embers of Resolve: A Confluence of Fates (Part 6)

From what Byron told me, there will be six different workers that have specific tasks.

Head Butler (Mansion Steward): The head butler is the overall manager of the domestic staff. They ensure seamless coordination among all staff members, oversee daily operations, manage schedules, and interact with the mansion's owner or representative to ensure that their preferences are met. Gardener: The gardener is responsible for maintaining the mansion's enchanting gardens. They tend to magical plants, exotic flora, and enchanted creatures, ensuring that the grounds remain a lush and captivating haven for all who visit. Head Cook: The head cook is a master of culinary arts and potion-making. They create exquisite meals and magical concoctions, catering to the tastes and dietary requirements of the mansion's inhabitants and guests. Assistant Cooks (2): These skilled assistants work closely with the head cook, helping prepare meals, brew potions, and create magical treats. They ensure that the kitchen is always abuzz with creativity and delicious aromas. Housekeepers (4): The housekeepers are responsible for maintaining the mansion's interior cleanliness and order. They use magic-infused cleaning techniques to keep every corner immaculate, ensuring a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Carriage Driver:

The carriage driver holds a crucial role in ensuring smooth transportation and arrivals to and from the mansion. They are responsible for the mansion's collection of enchanted carriages, which can be summoned and guided through magical means.

As we finished our business visiting the new house, we decided to go back.

On our way back home after sending my friends, I noticed there is a jewelry shop, 'Stardust Gem'. I asked Byron to drop me there and he and Elijah could head back first. 

To make my plan work out, I have to keep my relationship with Liora good. I don't want her to become distant with me as I forgot our promise and this is to get back with her.

I bought her a pendant which can be used to pour someone's magic inside it. 

By pouring my magic inside it, the crystal turns the color from white into a coloring crystal. Depending on the natural color of the user's mana, it will light based on that.

The pendant shimmered with a mesmerizing vignette of shades, as if capturing the essence of a magical twilight.

First, a delicate shade of rose pink emerged, hinting at the warmth of dawn's first light. Then, it seamlessly transitioned to a soothing lilac, evoking the tranquility of twilight. As my heart raced in anticipation, the colors shifted once more, giving way to a deep and enchanting aqua blue that mirrored the depths of the ocean.

The pendant's colors continued to shift and intertwine, creating a breathtaking symphony of radiance that was impossible to ignore. The pendant seemed alive, as if it held the very essence of my magic within its crystalline core. Its luminescence played upon my surroundings, casting a soft and ethereal glow that danced across my skin.

"I can't believe it would turn out like this" as the shopkeeper said to me it will glow the color of my magic affinity. 

As my magic ability is vast and shifted everytime with limitless capability, the pendant glows with infinite colors. 

I tried to copy this pendant to have another 4 pendants for me to give it to my parents, Elijah and Jake. All these 5 pendants are meant for the person that I care about.

After that, I walked down the street for several minutes after buying the pendant and decided to find a magical delivery service to send letters. 

Finally, I found one called "GlimmerPost Express." Using enchanted methods, GlimmerPost Express ensures swift and secure delivery of messages and parcels to any corner of the realm. Messages can be written on specialized enchanted parchment, and the service utilizes magical creatures or transportation spells to deliver them with speed and precision.

I write my apology letter to Loria and address it to the castle along with a parcel that is wrapped up with my gift inside it. 

I hope she will receive it.

…

Later on, I head back by using my flying magic to Jake's house.

That night, I passed my gifts to Jake and Elijah during dinner and they gave me a warm expression with appreciation for that present. The watch that I bought for him is more expensive than the pendant, but he is more attracted to it.

Jake: "Wow! This pendant is so beautiful. Where did you get this?"

Me: At the jewelry store, of course.

Jake: "It must have cost you a lot, hasn't it? Looking at the colors, it looks very authentic like some kind of extraordinary gem! I bet it would be the same cost as an Aetherium Rune."

"Close enough. Well, I'm kidding. It only cost me 50 Diamantite coins." I joked with him.

"Impossible! I know that pendant. So you're telling me this is your magic affinity's colors?" Jake was surprised.

I nodded to him to confirm that I didn't lie.

"Thankfully, you told me that or I would send this for material appreciation and have it for a bid." Jake explained.

I chuckled. "Please don't. You can use it as a lucky charm instead."

Our conversation goes on until late at night and we finally go to bed.

Today is really a long day for me. I had so many things done. 

In the bedroom, while wrapping my arm, hugging Elijah, I slowly close my eyelids as it turns heavy and begin to sleep.
