Chapter 81: Jackson’s Secret (Part 1)
After our fishing day was over, our group sat comfortably around a fire pit we made at the beach, drinking fruit juice and sharing some snacks.
"So, are we going to talk about what happened with Armaros?" Melina asked.
Thinking that she was talking about the very last moment of the fight, where I started crying, I looked to the side, a bit embarrassed.
"I mean, what is that whole ’Awakening’ thing?" she continued, making me realize she wasn’t talking about me crying but the power I used.
The truth was that I didn’t understand that power that well myself. I thought that Yoru had given me some of his power, which was somewhat correct, he did give me some of his MP, but that wasn’t the reason I "awakened."
"Vesp, you seem to know way more about this power than us..." I said, implying that she should be the one to make it clear.
At some point during our fight, my transformation began to wane, and Vespera told Melina to quickly infuse some of her magic into me, which allowed me to maintain that powerful form for much longer, even making me summon a lunar sword.
"Well, I didn’t want to say much about it until you were both sixteen. I honestly didn’t think you would awaken before that..." she said vaguely.
"Start from the beginning. What is the awakening?" I asked.
She explained that it was a power that only demigods or champions were able to tap into. I counted as a demigod since I was a child of Phelena, and Melina was the champion blessed by her.
However, it was a power that required a lot of MP to activate, which is why she was waiting for us to turn sixteen.
