Chapter 51: A Veil of Secrets
"So Grandma keeps on watching over me," Nero said with a small smile, the warmth of the realization settling in his chest.
"That she does," Rowena confirmed, her voice carrying both pride and sorrow. Her eyes softened as she gazed at him, as if seeing Melina within him. "And not just through memories. Her presence lingers in ways you have yet to fully grasp."
Nero swallowed, his fingers brushing against his robes absentmindedly.
Melina Ravenclaw, his grandmother, had given her life for him. And now, even in death, she had left behind something far greater than a memory, a piece of her very essence woven into his being.
Rowena studied him for a moment before continuing. "Nero, we of House Ravenclaw are naturally more attuned to the Laws of Space. It is part of our blood, our very nature. But few are blessed with an even greater gift."
She paused, then said with quiet reverence, "Those who awaken their Raven Eyes."
The words sent a faint shiver down Nero's spine.
"The Raven Eyes!" he echoed.
Rowena gave him an approving nod. "A rare trait, appearing only in the most gifted of our lineage. Beyond what you have already experienced, it grants those who master its full potential an unparalleled perception of the very fabric of space, an insight that allows for manipulation beyond ordinary means. I possessed them. And you too, carry that same potential."
A battle system based on Spatial Laws...
The thought sent a thrill through Nero, his mind already racing with possibilities. What if he could learn to bend space at will? Warp distances? Turn space itself into a weapon? Imbue space laws into barriers?
