For the rest of the rest of the day Isiah stayed in bed, thinking about that memory and even questioning himself about the fact that he held on to it when he should have erased it from this moment when Adelita afforded him some solace.
His body was too tired as if he was doing some hard job, he slept without notice and when he woke up it was too dark. Original content can be found at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
He heard some people yelling in the kitchen , he recognized the voices, it was Jivan's and Adelita's voices, they were arguing about something.
Isiah forced himself to get out of bed and walked slowly to the kitchen where both of them were yelling at each other. It was something related to leaving, when they saw him there both of them were stunned not because he stepped there unnoticed but his body looked different from the one in the morning.
He looked older, his hair was long and so did his body built, he looked mature, after a quick analyze from Jivan he smile then said:" Look at you, all grown up"
Isiah couldn't understand why Jivan said that but Adelita had the urge to tell him that he looked different, she even gave him a projection of what he looked like in that moment.
Isiah was speechless about what Adelita said to him, he went closer to the projection, that person looked like him but older, he tried to shake his head and the projection did the same thing.
Jivan walked towards him and moved around him to spot the differences in his body then said:" It is a side effect of the spell I did, breaking the spell by my humble powers was impossible yet I made it happen, but yeah …these things happen."
" What do you mean by this..you freak"Isiah said while his eyes stayed glued on the projection.
"What I mean is that, when I stabilized the divine energy …ah …did Adelita explain to you how the spell worked?"
Isiah shook his head negatively then said :" Did you try things on me!"
Jivan smirked then said:" Both spells, i mean …the spell that made you retrieve your sight and the one for unsealing your magic powers…both of them required the divine energy from Emperium"
"Yep, and let's say that, because you don't belong there it is why it had this affect on your body, it made your body grow fastly, i expected this but i can't reverse it"
" Shit…Jivan …you had to mess things up" Isiah yelled at him.
And that's when Adelita stepped in and said: " Don't worry Isiah, the best part about this is that you can use magic, right now and without any fears, this is just a minor problem and Jivan will fix it"
Adelita looked at Jivan and started to glare at him then said :" Right Jivan ?"
" Well, i can do something about it, but not for long, he has to level up or have some specialist help in this domain to fix it, apparently the spell is missing something that i don't know"
" So you are asking me to stay and do nothing is that it "
" I could do something temporary to stop you from growing,"Jivan said.
Jivan reached for Isiah and hold his right hand in a hurry then started to create a silver bracelet around his wrist , it didn't take much time and when he finished he added:" Well this bracelet is a stabilizer for the divine energy, this effect is happening because the divine energy from Emperium is not stable inside your core which deteriorated the time in your body, having this bracelet with will slow it down till the point of stopping it "
Isiah touched the bracelet then said:" If i keep it with me i will be okay, right !, be honest with me"
Isiah looked again at his projection then said:" Well, i need a new haircut but my body shape looks alright"
Adelita smiled at him so he added :" Why were you fighting with Jivan before i entered here'
" There is something you need to know Isiah"
" Tell him or I will," Jivan threatened her.
"The world is ending, the old globe is witnessing something that never happened"
"Why! what do you mean by that?"Isiah replied very confused and that's why Jivan said;" Well the world is ending and your beloved teacher is asking me for help, she desperately wanted me to guide you through it "
" What are you both saying! The world is ending ! i kind of knew that since the beginning , what changed , tell me"
Jivan laughed his heart out then saide: "Are you slow or something, she is telling you that the world is ending and i was telling her that there is no way to help you"
" Okay" Isiah muttered.
Jivan started to clap his hands in complete disbelief while moving around and saying:" Yeah he is built differently Adie, for someone who just heard that the apocalypse is coming he is either insane or brave or both, but for me i think he is insane, let's form a sect you and I, just you and I …let's call it 'crazy people VS the world'...i think we would make a great duo"
Adelita walked towards Isiah then said:" Cut your crap, he doesn't know the consequences of what's going to happen"
"Aaaaah …and you do ??" Jivan said sarcastically.
" Well, no one knows how bad is it going to be but, thinking about it now, i think that Delwias Island will be erased by the creatures from the world beyond, or drawn to the other side, or doomed by disaster, it is going to be worse than the triple full moon "
She was now looking at Isiah, her eyes were filled with unbearable guilt, Jivan kept smiling as he usually does, but Isiah said with a calm voice:" Now, i am able to use magic, i can do whatever i want, i will learn it a step by step until i level up"
Adelita screamed at him unintentionally:" It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter Isiah …because …the last evaluation in this region happened today, they are going to give up on this place".
