Chapter 7 - Triplet Holder

"Why is the Angry Man upset now? Are you wary, Dark Mage?" taunted Gillian, holding up his spoon and wiggling at Baldwin.

"I'm not! On top of that, Time Mages indicates trouble for anyone near them. I sincerely doubt he can stay," reasoned Baldwin, looking elsewhere.

Young Mavislin merely shrugged and continued to eat.

"Time is not the exclusive thing I possess. I am born with the Element, but it doesn't mean I'm incapable to perform other Elements," said Raiyen, staring at Baldwin.

"A Time Mage is, nevertheless, what it is," retorted Baldwin.

Gillian issued a glare.

"You're one to criticize, Dark Mage," replied Raiyen, rolling his eyes. Baldwin was taken aback, how dare he mention such a thing?

"I challenge you to recite what you've just remarked," growled Baldwin.

His Aura began growing, darkness seeping around him. Raiyen stood up, glaring at him in reply. Through the two males fierce gazes, Mavislin had noticed that Raiyen's Aura was beginning to show.

"Dark Mages are even more dangerous than us Time Mages, so who are you to talk to me like that?" answered Raiyen, as his Aura slowly came into fulfillment.

Instead of the standard uniform colors, like Baldwin's dark purple Aura, Raiyen's Aura was both green and blue. More accurately, the left side of him was green while the right side was blue. Gillian mumbled a word of praise to the Time Mage and made Mavislin smile by giving her an eyeball to eat.

"No Elements on the dining table!" shouted Ysabeau, upset at the two blockheads emitting Auras.

Raiyen was frozen stiff as he had not expected Ysabeau to shout unpredictably. The inferior, shaken thing slumped back down onto his seat.

"Sorry about Baldwin's behavior, young lad. What's your name?" asked Gillian, turning to look at Raiyen.

"Raiyen," replied the boy who had a piece lamb in his mouth.

Now, Mavislin nudged Raiyen's side.

"Want one?" asked Mavislin, holding out an eyeball using a fork.

His face replied with disgust. Seeing Mavislin was getting upset, he quickly plunged the piece of a body part that Mavislin held out. The squishy thing exploded within the confines of his mouth. It was rather comical to witness Raiyen trying to eat the eyeball.

Mavislin giggled as Raiyen weakly gave a thumbs-up before passing out.

"I apologize for having to undergo that. She might seem mature, but she's just a child in terms of her kind. She doesn't know an average human body can't handle certain parts of food," explained Gillian, sitting on a chair beside the awoken boy.

"I'm no typical human either," replied the Time Mage, steadying himself up.

He looked around the room in wonder. The room, it felt odd. It did not strike him as one of the owners' rooms. It felt like it was his room. It was elementary, not many items in it. A chair, a bed, and a small closet. In the middle was a generous space.

The ceiling and floor were blue while the walls were green, reflecting on his Aura.

"Yea, but your body is withal of a human. Mavislin possesses the body of a Valkyrie. Her body is way stronger than any of us. They were probably fed with blood instead of milk as an infant."

"Oh please, we're not that terrifying. Our bodies are sturdier, but we don't consume blood as infants..." murmured Mavislin, entering the room.

"We start eating meat. We don't have any liquids to start at birth," replied Mavislin, sitting beside Raiyen.

"Hence, you mentioned about having other Elements as well. Was that the cause of the dual colors in your Aura from earlier?" asked Mavislin, tilting her head to the side.

"We are only a handful nowadays since the Congregation is down," replied Raiyen.

His left and right hands then lit up in his Aura's colors. Mavislin gazed at his hands in wonder. She'd knew how to wield the Core Elements but never the ones she was looking at right now.

"It's not the Earth Element, it's called Nature. I utilize that to be smooth with my movements, no matters where I am. Whenever I'm forced to be underwater, I would be suited to manipulate my surroundings to my advantage," explained Raiyen.

"Accordingly, is he capable of producing a tree?" asked Gillian. Mavislin stifled a laugh, in which she failed miserably.

"Not all users of Nature Magic must produce a tree be that Element Holder. I use Nature Element to notice my surroundings and adapt it to my will to carry out my daily tasks. In a way, I can utilize all Elements as well. But only in strict conditions," explained Raiyen, rolling his eyes.

"So, what is the blue for?" asked Mavislin, playfully grabbing onto the glowing blue hand. This resulted in a little shock through her body.

"Electric, I presume," said Mavislin, appearing unharmed after the shock.

"A Triplet Holder?"

"Yea. Time and Electric are my favorites but I do use Nature sometimes. I guess I resort to it for when I call for it the most, not my first choice of Element to go with," explained Raiyen.
