Chapter 5 - The broken girl’s first lesson
"And what are those Cosmic Elements that have no color? How do I know if I’m compatible with them or not?"
That question again made my mother look away, as if rekindling memories of a forgotten past. When she started talking again, her voice was low and hoarse.
"Nobody is compatible with them. The Cosmic Elements of Light, Darkness, and Spirit, only divine beings, like the Gods and the Supreme Dragons, can use them freely. They might bestow magic attuned to those elements to the followers they deem worthy, and from time to time, a genius sorcerer is able to use them without a Divine blessing. But, as it’s normally only seen being used by some special priests, and even then, normally only the light element is visible, they just think it’s a property of blessings, and not an element on its own right."
"So, I won’t be able to use them?"
My mother smiles at me, but the smile doesn’t reach her eyes. "I wouldn’t say never... those elements are the base of everything, and the four Primary Elements are built from them. But it’s not an easy task."
I heed her words, my mind racing with what I’ve learned.
"I understand, Mom. It’s not a realistic goal, but it isn’t impossible. So I should set that aside and focus on what I have, right?"
"Oh, dear Aurea..." Mother pets my head, messing up my hair. "Sometimes you speak like a forty-year-old, really. I wonder what happens inside your head at those moments."
I blush at her words and try to change the subject. "So, what do I do now? How do I use those elements?"
