Chapter 255: Sparkles in Water (Part Four)
"Me?" Annalise was quite confused to hear Valerius asking such a question. "Do you think I can also do it? I mean borrowing your elemental powers?"
Valerius almost shrugged his shoulders in answer to her questions as he spoke," What I’m asking is if you think you will be able to do it?"
Annalise stared at her husband as her brain was still trying to process exactly what he was trying to imply through his words. She remained silent for a couple of moments and so did both of her husbands as they waited to hear her response.
"You want me to try it and see if I can borrow your elements or not, right?" She finally asked after she had finally concluded what it could be that her dear husband was trying to do.
"Not a bad idea. How about you try it now?" Kenric seemed even more excited at the prospect of her being able to use the borrowing of magical elements from them.
"Unlike the three of you, I don’t use elemental magic. Besides, borrowing powers is not any simple magical trick. I don’t think I will be able to pull it off." Annalise was not really as excited about the idea of trying this new trick and it was not because she actually believed that she would not be able to do it. Instead, it was the actual opposite of that.
She feared that she would succeed in performing the spell and it will unlock another magical talent of hers. She was already struggling to manage her current level of powers but if it continued to grow at such a rapid speed, she was sure that she would soon end up in a position where she could not control her powers and it would become dangerous, not only for her but everyone else around her too.
And if due to some miracle, she could manage to control her massive powers, she still was not looking forward to the future that it held for her. She still remembered something that her mother once told her - "Great powers come with great responsibilities."
which meant that if she accepted her powers, she would need to accept the responsibilities they would bring along them, and she was definitely not prepared for any such responsibilities.
She was someone who spent a very normal and pressure-free childhood, without any knowledge of the immense powers that had been sleeping inside her for over two decades. She was only made to believe that she would be able to live a life away from any Sort of drama or heavy responsibilities, but now, things were changing drastically.
She kept hearing how she was born to accomplish something really great, how she had fate waiting for her with her already decided destiny, but was she prepared for all this? Definitely No! Not only that but she could tell that there was very little time left before she would be facing the biggest secret/mystery of her life and along with that... would come the responsibilities she was trying to avoid.
