Chapter 96: Let's go to another world!
A week passed since Grey and Elara came back to the human world. Although he said he would only allow Elara stay for the night with Jesse and Clara allowing, the night slowly turned into a day. From a day to several days and then a week.
Every single day, Clara or Jesse always found an excuse to make Grey leave Elara with them for a while and since he couldn't say no to them, he always let it be but today, he finally decided that it was time to take Elara to the 'safe place' he had for her.
Grey could be seen standing beside Elara who had her eyes teary looking at Jesse crying as during the week, they had all bonded well with Elara feeling like a fourth member of their family.
Jesse considered her an elder sister although she still referred to her as her 'demon aunty', Elara's loving nature finally made Jesse warm up to her and they became closer than before with Clara also treating her like family.
So it was normal to see Jesse crying seeing her demon aunty leave so soon.
"Don't cry Jesse, I promise I will come see you if your grumpy brother allows me too." Elara said.
"Who are you calling grumpy?" Grey asked with a frown on his face.
"You of course!" She replied back and Jesse giggled seeing their little banter.
"I will miss you Elara." Clara said and Elara smiled.
"Me too." She replied. "If it was up to me, I would have stayed longer but the main reason I came to the human world is to train and grow stronger and I can't do that indoors and neither can I step out as I might be spotted by others which might freak them out."
"Yes I understand but do make sure to visit." Clara said.
"I will." Elara said.
"Can we go?!" Grey grunted in frustration.
"Sure! Grumpy uncle." Elara chuckled and Jesse giggled more.
"Call me grumpy one more time and I will make sure I electrify you here." Grey said with lightning twirling around his fingers.
"See Jesse. Was i wrong in calling him grumpy?" Elara asked.
"No! Not at all. Brother Grey is always grumpy." Jesse said and Grey glared at her.
"Alright I think it's getting late now." Clara said.
"Yeah so we need to leave." Grey said and then they stepped out of the house with Clara and Jesse standing in front of the door while wind magic was beginning to surround Grey and Elara. "And one more thing mum, where I am going, I might spend a little bit of time there so please don't get worried."
"Sure! Just take care of yourself." Clara said and then Grey along with Elara began floating up above the ground and in a flash, they sped off in the distance towards the forest at immense speed.
"You really have a nice family." Elara commented as she watched the town from above while they were heading towards the forest.
"Yeah." Grey said.
'Too bad mine do not care about me.' she thought with a tear nearly dropping down her eyes but she quickly wiped it. 'But I promise to get stronger! Strong enough to make them acknowledge me.'
"That reminds me. You never told me what powers or magic you use. I saw your elder brother using light magic, and some of your siblings using plant magic. What's yours?" Grey asked as the forest was now coming in view.
"Oh! Unlike my siblings and others that have one magic, I have two but I'm unable to control them properly." Elara replied.
"Two?! I don't think I have seen any elf using two magic before including Licht. So that makes you special huh?" Grey said.
"In a sense yes. But it is not useful if I don't know how to control them though." Elara replied.
"So what are they?" Grey asked as they could see the cave he always rested in away from the forest and beasts and slowing down, they halted before descending in front of the cave.
"Healing plant magic and illusion magic." Elara replied. "Although my plant magic is slightly different, it can heal and I can also share mana from my pool to others but I haven't been able to do that yet. Just able to heal small injuries while my illusion magic is practically useless which males me useless."
'Sharing mana from her pool to others?! That is very useful and helpful and illusion magic? Is it like Noir's?' Grey thought as they walked into the cave and stood in front of a wall.
"What are we doing here? Wait! Is your safe place this cave? Do you expect me to live out my life here in this cave?" Elara asked taken aback.
"If I wanted to let you live in a cave, I would have abandoned you in a forest no problem so quit disturbing me." Grey said as he placed his palm on the wall and mana began seeping out of his palm to the wall causing it to move and they both walked.
Elara was constantly staring around looking at the cave which looked like a small cottage of some kind with an Earth throne of some kind in the room, a mound of canned beverages off to the side and another mound of chalk off to another side.
Walking forward, Grey grabbed a chalk and walked to the centre of the room.
"You have pretty good magic." Grey said as he began drawing some circles and runes while Elara looked at him weirdly. "Because you don't know how to release this full potential yet doesn't make you useless. You yourself have to find a use for your useless magic and turn it into something great that no other person can replicate."
Immediately he was done talking, the circles were now finally complete so he walked forward and inputted a little bit of mana in it and then the circle lit up white while swirling around with a mystical swirl of white colour.
And slowly, a portal opened in the middle of the room while Elara stood with wide eyes looking at it and then Grey smiled.
"C'mon, let's go to another world." He said.
