Destiny of the destinies

Chapter 4: The Red Flames



I climbed onto the stage where the priest, aged around sixty maybe, stood, dressed in white robes. He had hair that was a mix of grey and golden. I initially thought maybe he was a young man with golden hair, but with time his hair turned grey.I'm not sure, but after seeing him, or perhaps climbing the stage, I felt a sense of peace and relaxation.

In the middle of the stage, I saw a large rock. "A Rock!" I thought, quite confused. The priest then gestured towards the rock with his left hand. As I approached, I saw a large, ordinary stone, not quite a rock. It felt too ordinary. Next to it was a smaller, ordinary stone,and a small mirror which looked like a hand mirror on that same rock. The large stone was as big as my father's hand, and the smaller one as big as my mother's one hand. Nevertheless, the priest gestured for me to place my hand on the large stone. The funny thing is, the priest didn't speak during this time. I placed my hand on the large stone, and then a big fire appeared in the air. It was an illusion because I didn't feel any heat. This show, my element, transforms fire into stone, changing its colors to a bright red, changing ordinary stone into extraordinary one,which means my power is "Red Flames." Afterwards, he pointed towards the mirror with his finger, indicating I should use my finger to touch it. So, I did.

It was a "Sila Metter." My "Sila" was shown in numbers; it said '83'. That was confusing, but I didn't have time to dwell on it because he swiftly pointed towards the smaller stone for me to touch with my hand, and it revealed a Dagger. "Yes, it's my secondary power, 'The Power of Weapon,' thanks to my mother." After he gave me a page or a letter in an envelope, he announced, "Ariya Ignis, daughter of the Duke of Arderia, Kedhi Uri Ignis, has the power of the 'Element – Fire,' her power is Red Flames with 'Sila' of '83%.' Congratulations, House of the Ignis! I hear a thunder of applause, the feeling is overwhelming. After I came down from the stage with my letter, I heard another announcement, but I care less, and entered my chamber where my family was waiting for me before I could open the door. Someone opened it from the inside; it was my brother Agni. Before I could react, he lifted me and spun me around. I gaped.

"Yes ,You did it, Arya, you did it, I know you will rock one day, I am so proud of you!" he said, still spinning me around. Yes, I do feel happy and blessed today again.

As for my brother, he is six years older than me, and has much 'Sila' than me. He is more happy than me. "Okay, that's enough, put her down," Father said lightly. Hearing that, he immediately put me down. Even though my head is still spinning, my mind is in cloud nine.

"Arya, my baby, we are so proud of you!" Father kissed me on my forehead. "Seen my baby grow up so big, I don't know what should I feel," Mother, while wiping away her tears. "Mother," I said worriedly. "I am so happy for you my little baby," my Mother hugged me tightly. I instantly melted in her arms.

Today, I felt the worst emotional pain and the best emotions of my life, and I felt blessed for everything. We all settled to watch the ongoing ceremony. But there is a confusion. My 'Sila' in the story was clear that 'Arya' did score nicely; her 'Sila' score was '71', while the heroine who was just a Baron' daughter"Rosalie," scored '76' higher than Arya. In 'Sila', her magic power was 'The Power of Emotion', but now I got '83'. I don't know what changed. Usually, higher bloodlines have higher 'Sila', like from a Duke family; you easily get a plus-65, and a person whose score is plus-50 can use magic.

The royals, on the other hand, kept secrets about their scores, only telling what type of powers they have. The Prince and Princess are currently eight years old, and so they received or unlocked their magic last year, but they keep everything a secret, only telling their powers. Actually, everyone's family has different powers. Like our family has 'Fire Element,' some have 'Soil Element,' but the royal family has two powers, 'Air & Water.' So, the prince inherited 'Air element' and the princess 'Water element.' While I was thinking about the plot, a name was announced, "Rosalie Ironpetal." Yes, that's her, the heroine, from where I was sitting. I couldn't see her much, but I was anticipating something, and then the announcement: "Rosalie Ironpetal, daughter of the Baron Aspen, Le Ironpetal, has power of the 'Emotion,' inherited 'Sila' of Love Emotion with the score of '76'."

Hearing this, I don't know why I felt relief. She is some, 'nothing change about her.' On the other hand, my family enjoying themselves, but here I was worrying about nothing. Thank you, Goddess, for your blessing, giving me such a loving family and changing things for the better. I wish that I truly felt peace. Now, I think my future is some as everyone.
