Chapter 24: Clashes with brother 2

- You are weak Prince Alurik, so weak that if the other gods saw it they would make fun of me. - I heard a familiar voice, I opened my eyes in shock, how could I not recognize him if he belonged to the goddess of chaos Ges.

- But how? Why am I here and not in the arena where my brother is? - I asked in a shocked voice, remembering what happened before that, thoughts began to appear, I looked around, it was the same place as in dreams, and while taking the mark, that same fire was around at night and a figure of a girl was sitting near the fire. Not in dreams, not during the adoption of the mark, I could not make out her figure and face.

- You are not dead if you think about it and this is not the afterlife. I stopped time in the arena and brought your mind here. - Hes answered my questions, I felt her look in it there was no anger, no other strong emotions, or she skillfully hid them.

- Why am I here? I lost to my brother. - In a hopeless voice, I asked if it meant that she now wants to break my mark? And start looking for a new favorite?

- You haven't lost yet, the fire hasn't touched your emblem, but you're right, without the talent, you'd already lose to him. - Hes answered in a calm voice, looking at me tilting her head to one side, I stared at her talent? I didn't have any talent, even a swordsman would be a stretch to call me.

- What talent are you talking about? After the change in the body, I did not feel anything, strength or power. - I asked in an annoyed voice looking at the goddess.

- Are you stupid or should I say idiot? After going through accepting me as your god, you have gained an unlimited talent for magic, but you deny it with your meager brain and refuse to accept it! Close your eyes and send your attention inward. You don't have much time if I keep the frozen time even longer, the other gods will notice and you're not ready for them to turn their attention to you. - Hes said angrily, throwing a withering look at me, she turned away and stared at the fire, leaving me in silence.

Looking at Ges, I did not understand why she was so angry, but most of all I was paralyzed by her words about the talent for magic.

Could God, at will, reward a person with a talent for magic? Of course they were gods, but not all of them could do what they wanted? Or all? But having thrown these thoughts into the far corner of my brain, I decided to concentrate on her words.

I closed my eyes and began to look for magic in myself, at first there was nothing, but the more I got angry, the more it seemed to me that something was eluding me. At first I did not notice it, but the more I paid attention to it, the more I was sure of the truthful words of Ges.

Trying to follow this energy, I went deeper into my consciousness. Each living creature had its own consciousness, but it differed from each species, for animals it was like a lone star in space; for monsters, there were several large stars in the sky; the stronger the monsters and animals became, the larger their stars became.

Races such as elves had a different consciousness; it was in the form of a sea; orcs and dwarves had a different one, but few people knew which one, since both of these races were secretive and did not let anyone go there.

I had a lot of small and medium stars in my mind, but as I traveled farther and farther, I began to notice an anomaly in the middle of my consciousness, a huge star hung and next to it were six large stars of different colors white, black, blue, blue, red, metallic color if I understood correctly these stars were different elements but how it was possible I did not understand I will have to ask Ges next time when she is in a better mood.

Starting to inspect the stars, I noticed that of the seven stars before the presence of the power that eluded me came from the black star, swimming up to it, I did not know how to activate this power, I decided to put my hand on it and see what would happen.

Putting my hand on the black star, at first I didn't feel any changes in myself, the star was cold after a while, I decided to close my eyes and focus on it, if this magic was inside me, then it was already a part of me and should only open the way for it.

At first there were no changes, but after a couple of seconds, I felt warmth begin to spread inside me, and instead of cold, the star began to give me warmth and fill me with strength, it seemed to me that I was omnipotent, but having driven away these thoughts, I directed my thoughts inside the star.

I could feel the power slowly developing within me but time was against me, I needed to get stronger as quickly as possible even if it meant attracting extra glances. Putting my other hand on the star, I focused on absorbing the power absorption speed began to increase, as did my understanding of this dark magic power.

t was probably because of Hes but I had a basic understanding of this magic what needed to be done in order for her to attack or put up protection and at this time the star shone brightly and began to decrease until it became so small that it fit on my arm.

Opening my eyes, I looked at the hand in which the star lay, lifting it, I directed the star to my forehead, touching my forehead, it began to dissolve and at that time my body began to heat up strongly, as did the power inside me.

After a couple of seconds, I opened my eyes, now I felt the power inside me and it did not disappear, it flowed inside me. Looking at the other stars I didn't even try to touch them as it was still too early to absorb any of that power. Coming out of my mind, I looked at Ges, who did not take her eyes off me.

- So you found the power, it's good understanding of this power took you a long time. Ges spoke in a calm voice

- But you are ready to come back and demonstrate it, but remember that you have only just begun to realize it, do not overdo it. - Hes warned me in a serious voice and snapping my finger, I returned to my body surrounded by fire.

Opening my eyes, I saw the flames eagerly reaching for me and it was time for my emblem to act even if it threatened to demonstrate a power that should not be mine

- Cover of darkness. - Whispering, I felt how darkness envelops me and the fire that previously threatened me ceased to bother me. The fire tried to penetrate my darkness for a couple of seconds, thereby weakening the spell more and more.

After waiting until the power of the spell becomes so strong that it ceases to threaten me, I canceled the cover of darkness, pulling the sword from its scabbard, I hit the fire, destroying it. The world was filled with colors and sounds again. Taking a deep breath, I looked at the culprit who made me feel the possibility of defeat.

I was grateful to him, if not him, I probably didn't soon realize that I now own magic, but that's all I didn't have anger towards him or any other emotions that could want to harm him. When Nreu saw me, at first he broke into a mocking smile, but when he saw that my emblem was intact and the victory was not counted to him, his face changed to surprised and then shocked.

- How could you survive the spell without harming the emblem? - Nreu asked in shock, this question was raised by both deans as well as the director of the academy who were watching the fight.

Looking at Nreu, I began to walk slowly in his direction, I didn't answer him because I wanted to keep the magic a secret from everyone for as long as possible.
