Chapter 215: The awakening of Thalassa.
The month that followed, all was silent in most of Eldoria in terms of scandal, not a peep came from Emmah and all the noble houses were more careful than usual. They were not as lavish as they usually were and they urged their children not to engage in criminal activities.
Those that had defended the former prime minister kept their heads down even to avoid being implicated in the scandal.
As for the Windrider’s they left the capital and embarked on a long journey to the small town that would become their home for the foreseeable future. It was reported that Emmah Windrider had not gone with them.
Winter arrived in Eldoria, along with it, the awakening of Thalassa. It had taken Sigrid a fortnight to make the king’s impossible dream, possible.
In the first four days, Thalassa was plied with pills that Sigrid purchased from the bank. The pills changed Thalassa’s constitution, allowing her magic to seep into her bones and soul.
In the following four days, Thalassa was fed elixirs that helped her sense magic around and connect with it. She would meditate for six hours until her senses connected with the patterns of the world. This included ripples in the water, flight of a bird, veins of a leaf and the slightest change in the sky. It was not enough that she just be a mage, Sigrid wanted her to be a true mage.
She was more in tune with water than other elements of the earth.
The days that followed, she was put to sleep and magic circulated within her, flowing like blood in her veins. As she lay unconscious, her body emitted light and sparkles which increased in momentum every passing day like a storm seeking to break out.
On the morning, of the fifteenth day, she finally opened her eyes and sat up. Her appearance had changed, she seemed to be softer and gentler. There was a calm in her eyes that not existed when her mother was alive.
