Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 8 months old)
-One hour later-
“Ken, are you out here?” Ken hears his mother say, he looks at the door and back to the frozen person still shivering on his position.
*sigh*
‘Why won’t this person just talk.’ he hears the door open and turns towards his mother who came out followed by his father, whom inspected the surroundings.
Still in their sleeping attire.
“What happened here?” said Alfred, as he took in the frozen surroundings.
“Another intruder, and this time they came as a group.” the two looked at their son wide eyed as the other nodded, they know that they’ve been having ‘guests’ here and there and probably didn’t expect a group, heck even Ken didn’t expect they were this many, approximately 35 of them.
He had scanned the area again and counted 35 of them. Sad to say they just became experiments for this vicious one’s spells.
Alfred and Lyn approached the frozen man and used their magic to inspect the said person.
“This person seems to be strong, how did you manage to beat the guy?” asked Alfred.
“I froze all his assets over, including his mana.” taid Ken while walking towards them, seeing as this person isn’t much of a threat now that he’s freezing.
“Is that even possible?” asked Lyn.
“Yeah, if you put your mind and soul to it.” but actually just used concept to enhance his ice and water grand magic to target specifically the mana inside every individual to freeze, but not killing them.
A spell that was supposed to be defensive, but with a little tweak here and there, voila, the spell became a freezing spell, without the set of wings of course.
“Have you found out who they are yet?” said Alfred, retracting his hand and cancelling his magic.
“Nope, they are too tight in sharing any information.” Ken said and looked at his father. “Found anything?” he asked, for since the time that he told them about all these assaults, they’ve been helping one another to figure out who these people are.
“Yeah actually, and it’s that they are not human obviously due to the fact that this valley isn’t traversable by the mountains, and these ones right here is actually one of the magical beasts.” the person suddenly shook violently in place.
Ken frowned.
“Ice Magic: Cold Calm.” Ken pointed a finger on the person’s head as a magic circle formed, the spell lulled him to sleep as to disengage him and prevent any interruptions, lasting for fifteen minutes, since more than that can freeze the brain of his target.
“Please continue papa.”
“I found out that they’re from the magical beasts -even thought we cannot see their animal like features- through reading their mana flow, since our mana flow is different from theirs, and exudes a strong amount of energy,
I’m not sure why but the energy is still flowing strongly even thought you told us that you froze his mana.” Ken shrugged, well he didn’t really target that kind of aspect of mana so… meh.
“Anyways, that confirmed to me that they are magical beasts, although I haven’t found out what race they are, not to worry, we’ll eventually find out later.” … oh Ken knows that look, he glanced at his mother as she also glanced at him, both nodded at each other as Ken said…
“We’re letting them go once we’ve got the information we need, didn’t we agree on that papa?” Alfred blinked at his son innocently, Ken narrowing his eyes, causing the older to sigh.
“But can’t we experiment on them since we consider them as enemies?” he said dejectedly.
“We do consider them as such honey, but we can’t subject them to torture when they haven’t done anything bad to us.” said Lyn as she approached her husband.
“I know *sigh*, okay we’re not going to experiment on them.” the two embraced. ‘I can’t help but think if my father had a cause in me having thoughts of wanting to experiment on people, remember my friends and companions? They would be the best example.’
“Oh right, Ma, Pa, do you think we can use a mind spell on this guy and extract information on his head? I think we can do it now since I froze over their mana.” Lyn and Alfred appeared to consider it for a bit and they start to talk in hushed tones. ‘Really? You two are gonna act lovey dovey now?’
“Let’s try it.” they said, Ken smiled. The three of went on three sides, similar to that of a triangle with a bit of distance from the sleeping person as thy synced up their magic as a magic circle the color of white with a shade of purple appeared below their feet and the person as the center.
“Arcane Magic: Mind Domination.” The three said as they’re thrusted into the mind of this person. This spell can either be used individually or with companions. Pretty rare do the three come up to cast one spell.
But these are just one of those times where Ken and his parents combine their magic to make the spell more effective, and to not let the subject be affected during the process.
Anyway, contrary to its name, the mind domination spell allows the caster to control a target’s mind, and gain access to information that is stored within their head, now, to see what this person has in store for them.
-A Moment Later-
“Wow, I did not think that that person had the audacity to try and steal your scythe Ken.” said Alfred, the three of them sitting at their table trying to eat while slowly digesting the information they got from going inside that person’s head, what was his name again?
‘I don’t remember, I do remember that’s he’s one of the captains of that blasted head researcher, Indur.’
“I agree papa, but the truth still remains unknown, what could they want my scythe for, I get that they labeled it as an artifact but why?” Ken said, voicing out his thoughts.
He finished his meal since he’ll still be going to the village today.
He stood up and used water magic to clean the plate he used and changed to his attire for today and strapped the scythe his back.
“Be careful Ken, I know that you may suspect Princess Lang for this, but… don’t do anything reckless.” said Lyn, worry evident in her voice, Ken smiled reassuringly. Clearly his parents know his trail of thought.
What can he do when he’s such a weirdo when speaking up about his thoughts.
“Yes mama, I will, I’ll be off now, my friends must be waiting for me by now.” he hugged both his parents and walked out of the house, right, these people are still here.
Ken dispelled the ice covering the area, excluding those covered in ice and covered the leader’s head in a block of ice, while using telekinesis to fling them out of the village, somewhere down south, nope wait, change it to east.
‘Sheesh early on to the day and that welcomed me in the morning? And with the information we collected made this even more complicated, but thankfully I know the person behind this mess.’
Ken walked to his and the other two’s meeting place beside Wilbert’s house where the two of his friends are waiting. He waved a hand and rushed over so that they could travel side by side.
“Great you’re here, so let’s go.” said Wilbert, his friend nodded as he proceeded to hold Ken’s hand as well as Celine’s.
“Wait, what are you doing?” Ken asked. The two chuckled.
“We’re teleporting.” said Celine. He looked at them in confusion.
“Aren’t I supposed to do that?”
“We’ll be doing that this time, don’t you remember?” said Wilbert, hmm…
“I think yeah? Oh right, I remember now, hehe.” Ken said and scratched his neck before holding their hand again. The two combined their magic and with a magic circle below their feet the color of purple created a portal that seemed to scan their body as it teleported them to the entrance of the village.
The three walked to the direction of the field to meet up with everyone but found them at the town square. ‘Welp, time for another adventure, let’s just expect that things wouldn’t be bad for us, or maybe I shouldn’t have thought of that.’
“Finally, you guys are here.” said Allen.
