The Arks - Chapter 394

“We only used the humans for the breeding process. There were strictly no Mages allowed to breed, I made sure to check on everything,” chimed Rina, straining her voice slightly.

“Blood transfusion,” said Ysabeau, remembering what happened in the first room.

“I beg your pardon?” asked Mavislin, looking at Ysabeau.

“When Gab and I were trying to save that kid, we had to pull out all the tubes. All of the tubes were with substances that were harmful to humans except for one, very thin tube. It had dark, crimson liquid but it wasn’t being put into the kid,” explained Ysabeau, with memories rushing back.

“It was being taken out. Kris had mentioned that the blood of my child would be used to further experiments on the other children since it was shown to have regenerative abilities. But, the children were only given a few doses, so that shouldn’t matter too much, right?” asked Rina.

Somehow or rather, Rina had learned how to control Fluffy and steered the beast closer to the group.

“It does, on a Mage’s level. Even the slightest blood transfusion from a Mage can give a normal human power. They would be weak but they’ve got powers, nonetheless,” explained Mavislin, glancing at everyone in the room.

“But we’ve checked everyone! Tomoe, you can at least back me up about this. Even Gillian had mentioned that they were all humans,” replied Raiyen.

“Gillian said that they were healthy, nothing about if they were humans or not. Besides, humans who receive powers by anything other than having Mages as parents are late bloomers. We won’t get to see their powers now since they are still growing,” responded Tomoe.

“I am willing to bet on that chance that they’ll be having powers,” answered Mavislin, nodding at Tomoe.

“I still can’t allow that to happen. It’s just too dangerous,” said Riayen, shaking his head.

“I thought you said part of the courting was to support her decision? Seems to me like you are opposing it, Leader of the Vigilante,” whispered Tomoe, raising an eyebrow.

“I’m saying this as a Time Mage, not anyone else. Don’t confuse my work with my courtship. I have not seen the damage yet and as far as I know, these things won’t go well. It may look alright to you but once you are in there, there’s no guarantee if you can come back,” explained Raiyen.

“An unstable Time Frame could damage the Time that we are in. Time may not be as linear as you think but buildings work differently. It drags the Time Frames of the other people who worked on the building. Like a ripple effect., I’m not betting that this would be the best option.”

Raiyen folded his arms while Tomoe kept his fan to hit Raiyen on the top of his head.

“Ow! Why’d you do that for?!” asked Raiyen.

Tomoe grabbed Raiyen’s collar and held him up. Mavislin gave another glare and Tomoe lowered his owner but still had his grip remained on Raiyen’s collar.

“They have powers, we can’t just let them into a normal human village and ask them to work it out from there! They’ll freak out! They should be with people who understand and can help them control their powers. Remember, they are not born with it. They were forced to have it.”

Tomoe’s words rang throughout the room with a strong and sad meaning behind them. Rina and Bryan looked at each other to agree on that fact. The fact that they were better off with people who understood their powers, things would have gone better.

“Tomoe has made a strong argument, I’d rather have the children be brought up in a way that they loved their powers instead of being haunted by it. It’s part of them, nothing can change that. But what we can change is the environment that they would be living in,” said Mavislin.

“But what if it’s too unstable to live in?”

“Time Pocket,” said Ysabeau.

“You want me to stuff an entire area into a Time Pocket?!” asked Raiyen, in disbelief.

“Why not? It should be easy for you right about now, you are not a novice Mage anymore,” asked Ysabeau.

“Easy for you to say! Try asking Z to pull that off!” protested Raiyen.

“You can just use a Time Frame to create a Time Pocket, right? I’ve read it in Gillian’s journals, you’ve done it before!” asked Ysabeau, before she realized what she had said.

“Spoilers?” asked Mavislin.

Ysabeau nodded while Raiyen sighed. He couldn’t blame Ysabeau for knowing that, she was his wife anyway.

“I’ve only created Time Pockets for myself and I can only hide small objects such as my weaponry. We’re talking about a whole building, meant to house tiny little running things! That’s a drastic jump!”
