Chapter 15 - 15: THAT LEGEND?!!!
"You can stop now, Erik."
"Alright."
With Sigrún's words, Erik stopped his movements and sat back down in the chair, eating cookies like a mouse. He really loved those cookies, munching away throughout the conversation, and to his delight, each time he was about to finish, more seemed to appear on the plate out of nowhere.
"You mentioned that you changed those exercises after a while. Why did you do that?"
Still full of doubts, Sigrún asked casually, focusing her gaze on Erik, who simply responded with a somewhat worried question after stopping his cookie munching.
"Shouldn't I have?"
"No, not at all. I'm just curious. Besides, the ones you use now are much better," Sigrún replied with a reassuring smile.
"That's a relief. Actually, I did it because these energy balls guided me to do so. While practicing, they seemed to guide me to change them, and when I did, they started to enter me, and I became stronger. So I kept doing them, and before I knew it, they turned into what you saw", Erik explained calmly before resuming his cookie eating.
(This is no genius; he's a damn CHILD OF THE MYST! How the hell can someone like him exist in this world? Life is so unfair... but at the same time, so interesting. Fufufu.)
"Well, I think that's enough for today," Sigrún stood up from her chair and continued, "Follow me. I'll take you to your room. Your wolves can stay on the deck. After you rest a bit and unpack your things, I'll teach you how make a new contract and how to make them smaller."
"That's great! Keiser, Tiberius, stay here and don't break anything." Erik stood up, took his huge bag from the floor, and followed Sigrún, while the wolves responded with a couple of barks.
