"The fortune teller…." I thought for a moment before nodding my head. Sophie's idea may just help since not even Diablo had a way to help my mother. "We will do that. For now, I will take Mother back to her room to sleep. The spell will wear off by tomorrow."
"I will have Rachel keep an eye on her. She is good at distracting Mother." My brother still had his head low as he spoke. I sighed as I walked over to him and gave him a hug. "Just do not hide things from me anymore."
"I promise." My brother replied while giving me a hug back.
A few minutes later, my mother was back in her room, sleeping soundly on the bed. She seemed so peaceful as she lay there sound asleep. I reached over and moved a lock of her hair away from her eyes. "Mother, I will find a way to help you."
The next day, I found myself standing in the Dean's office. It was not easy to leave the house as my Mother clung on to me for a long time. Rachel, though, seemed to have a knack for being able to keep my mother busy. When I visited the house last time, I never realized just how bad she was. I only found it funny at how much she was clinging to Diablo and the rest, and when I spoke to her alone, she seemed normal. I can only guess that maybe this incident really broke her. I want to rewind her mind to a state to where nothing was wrong, but she would forget everything over the course of those years. While it might work, she would lose a chunk of memory, and my father already said not to do it.
"Dean, sorry for the sudden visit, but I would like your help in gathering a team." I did not wish to waste too much time as I wanted to get the research started as soon as possible on those weapons I stole.
"Mmm… His Majesty did notify me. I have selected the best minds we have in magical research. They are not too happy about the blood seal contract, but they are willing to form one." The Dean replied.
"Alright. I will have a proper facility created in a week's time, along with proper lodging within the facility. It will be underground, though, with many restriction barriers placed on the lab. I do not want any unexpected accidents to happen. So this gives them all a week's time to change their minds about joining." I explained.
"I will be sure they are fully ready by that time." I have to hand it to the Dean. He was always quick about my requests and I kind of felt bad because I kept stealing his people.
"Then I will be back by then," I said with a smile and gave a small bow.
"Oh? You are leaving once more?" The Dean asked, a look of interest flashing across his eyes.
"I need to go to the spirit domain to find something out. But I will be back in a day or so, this I promise." I said my farewells without explaining why I was going to the spirit domain.
I had to go and find out why they were stopping me from using my fusion magic. Since it did not make sense. I asked Little Bell, but she did not give me an answer besides that it was bad. I could only ask the leader of the spirits.
I had to leave everyone at home for this, even though both Sophie and Adel begged to go. But I did not know if the spirit leader would tell me what I wanted to know if I had a group of people with me.
The flight to the spirit Domain only took a few hours at full speed. When I landed at the entrance, the guards did not even stop me and allowed me through without issue. Little Bell also came out of her space and was dancing about as the other spirits began to show themselves. I once again had to tread slowly because the little spirits liked to pop up out of nowhere to the point that I would almost step on them even when I was being careful.
The small glowing light balls that flew about in a teasing manner made me smile. I have always liked this place. It seemed so peaceful. I wished the whole world was like this, but sadly, people's greed, no matter the race, would want to try to make spirits do their bidding. Because although they were small, they also were a very important part of the world itself.
When I reached the top where the spirit leader resided, I once again stood looking at what was probably one of the most powerful beings in the world. Even Little Bell could be considered a god class hazard if she got mad. They were able to control nature itself and could destroy the lands in an instant.
"Child of dragons, you have come as I thought you would…." The spirit leader's voice filled my head.
"Yes…. I am sorry to bother you, but I had to ask why did you stop me? Why is fusion magic bad?" I asked, getting straight to the point.
"Child of dragons…. Fusion magic, as you call it, goes against the basis of this world. While I know you have used it once before, at that time, it was only on a very small scale. But large scale fusion magic can have dangerous effects on the world around it. Let's say you had cast that spell. It could have created a large crater upon explosion, or it could have created an area that would become unlivable, a place where two elements collided and were still fighting one another." The spirit leader lightly explained.
"So what you are saying is that it would break the world's elemental laws? Something like creating an area where nothing but those elemental laws could exist?"
