The Arks - Chapter 380

“I learned the stars from my dreams. A big chubby man told me that Stars are like Magecraft. He said if I drew more, I would have powers too!” exclaimed the younger Bryan, holding up a picture of the Scorpio constellation.

Val sighed as she looked at Bryan with sad eyes.

“But we are not Mages, Bry. We don’t have powers. Only Mages have powers. I’m sorry…”

Little Bryan pouted as he faced away. He continued drawing, ignoring his sister’s words. He was hyper-focused as he made another few drawings. His sister was unable to continue talking to him anymore so she left to prepare dinner.

“I want to be a Mage… Why won’t sister believe in me…” asked little Bryan, with tears threatening to fall.

The front door swung open, scaring the child and older Bryan. A large man with an ax had broken down their door.

“Get out of there!” yelled Bryan, trying to push the child away.

But this was a fragment of what had happened and Bryan could not touch his child self. The man loomed over the child, who was furiously trying to continue his drawings.

“Where is she?” asked the man, getting ready to kill Bryan.

“Shut up!” screamed Bryan, finishing the constellation of ‘Virgo’.

“Where is your sister?” demanded the man, gripping on the ax tightly.

“Symbol Of The Maiden, Goddess Of Innocence and Purity,” mumbled the child, under his breath.

A faint glow began to appear around the child but it was too delicate for the human eye to see. That was an Elemental Aura but it was far too weak to do anything.

“Why the hell are you here?!” yelled Val, entering the living room.

“To make you pay up for your father’s debts. He owes us too much. I’ll sell your organs as compensation,” growled the man, holding up the ax.

“Get up, little man!” shouted Bryan, who was hoping that something positive would happen.

Her instinct was to shield her baby brother as he continued to draw. Shutting her eyes, she waited for the impact of the ax. But it never came.

“What the hell is this?!” cried out the man, as he held his ax.

“Virgo, Stars of the Virgin!” yelled Bryan, hugging his sister.

His Elemental Aura engulfed his sister in a ball of white light. After a second, the ball dispersed, revealing Val to be in a white dress with a crown made out of leaves on her head. She was confused and frightened as she looked at what she was holding. A sword and a pair of scales.

The sword was called an ‘English SHort sword since it was slightly shorter than her torso and the scales were made out of bronze. It was fairly heavy but she had no problem holding it with one hand.

“I had no clue my Virgo Constellation spell was this?! And since when I was could use that spell?! I’ve been trying for years to use it but nothing would come out!” shouted Bryan, still upset at the fact that his child form knew how to use Virgo.

“That’s because you used it wrongly, you numpty. The Constellation Orf Virgo is supposed to be a defensive spell, used on a woman. If the woman is a pure Virgin, then her powers would like what you see before you. It can’t be used by a man.”

“So, the Virgo Constellation Spells makes the person I choose become a warrior?”

“Correct. And it must be female, or else it won’t work.”

Without any warning, the man prepared to attack again.

“I will kill you!” shouted the man.

Val could not control her body anymore as Bryan’s powers took full effect. She clashed with the man with her sword, with her body having a mind of its own. Her clashes and movements were that of a seasonal fighter, despite not knowing how to fight.

The child continued to stare down at the fight, with his eyes glowing pink and his LEmental Aura fully coming into vision as a pink outline. Bryan looked at the child in awe as he gathered the entire situation. The child was using Magecraft to give his sister powers to fight.

“Channeling Magecraft at such a young age… If Mavislin finds out about this, she would want me to train this spell…” murmured Bryan, watching the fight.

“Are you sure about that? She might force you to have a female partner just for this spell.l Perhaps the Butterfly Girl would suffice if she had been a Virgin…”

Bryan shook his head.

“Hell no, no way that that’s gonna happen!” protested Bryan, blushing.

“Let’s focus on how your sister wins this fight, alright?” replied the voice.
