After touching the head of the baby for some time, Silvan opened his eyes and said " my insights and knowledge are limited, I couldn't find anything. A proficient animencer will be needed look into him.
" Aren't you also a animencer? " said Selena " yes I am, but I couldn't find the shape of his soul. without even knowing the shape of soul I can't do anything , it might put him danger. But don't worry I have already brought the elder Amelia with us , she is right now looking after people who might have got PTSD from the yesterday's incident. She will be coming here in some time. Said Silvan
" Our baby is the only reason you have came here ?" Said Selena as she got little emotional.
" When you both took the decision of getting married and to live a happy life together. We both supported you and even argued against elders for you , and we said we will cut all the ties with you so you could live in peace. I couldn't do anything more for you , but I and your mother will always love you, you are our daughter. My little princess." She only looked at his father but didn't say a word . A heavy atmosphere was made as emotional turmoil builded.
Voltan brock the heavy silance and said " Ahm , we are directly ordered by the both sides of council of elders to check the health of the baby. This is very unique case, because both dragonoid and high humans are that of a superior races. We have very low fertility as we have very long lifespan.
We might compatable with lower race such as a humans as there are many halflings are around us. "
" You are saying that both female and male who have different superior race can't be compatable with each other and there is no possibility of having a child." said Cedar
" Yes, that is what I want to say, your case has made so many queries for the council." said Voltan.
" You are saying that they want to know more about our baby, might even try to take him with them so they could study on him? "Said Selena with cold voice
" No , nothing like that will happen, he will stay with you until he is old enough. That much We can promise to you." Said said Silvan
" Old enough? What after that? "Said Selena . Silvan didn't know what to say. Voltan seeing this , said " We will think about it when the time comes ."
As they were talking mark entered the hall and said , " Lady Amelia has come."
" Let her enter the room." Said Cedar. A pure long blonde hair lady with blue eyes, looking in her early thirties entered the room. Wearing silver silk clothes.
" Amelia it's good to see you again" said Silvan . " Yes, it a good to see you again to." Said Amelia.
She set at one of the empty sofa making herself comfortable.
As Amelia scaned the room her eyes looked at Selena and said "How are you my child ? was it worth it ?"
" Yes, I always dreamed of having life like this and I will like to let it continue."
Amelia said "I know you want to live a peaceful and happy life with your family, so I will try my best to find a good deal for both of us. You understand what I mean right?"
" Yes I understand " Sai Selena and handed over the baby to her. " He is very healthy and beautiful." She played with baby for while. ' I thought a person proficient in soul magic definitely will be a wise old geezer, but she whole opposite what I thought.'
As she took the baby in her lap , he felt like heaven as somthing soft had covered his whole body. Amelia seeing the baby to comfortable thought something about him doesn't feel right for his age.
' it might have been my imagination or talking and seeing the all memories of the PTSD people might have took tall on me. I might try to finish it earlier to get some good rest.' thought Amelia.
Her eyes and her hands started glow with a white light as she touched the head with one hand and the chest with second one. She stayed like that for a while and opened her eyes and said
" You might think I am crazy for what I say , so I will try to show you what I experienced " as she said she took out a crystal ball and put it on the table. She touched the baby again with one hand and with the other hand she touched the crystal ball.
As she again started to glow with white light the crystal ball started to saw something, there were three circle like structure, two of them were the biggest . One was white coloured and other was black coloured while the smallest was blue coloured.
As she stopped the mana the crystal ball also stopped glowing. Everyone were looking at Amelia for answers. Only Silvan looked agitated.
Amelia brock the silance and said " what you show were three different souls, I have never seen someone with having three souls from birth. There are three different souls present in your child. They are not all active, only the middle soul which is the smallest one is active for right now."
Selena and Cedar didn't know what to say. Seeing their confusion Amelia started to answer on her on " black coloured soul core is that of a dragonoid, the white coloured soul core is that of a High human. Both of them are not active souls. It may become active at some point or it may never become active again."
" What about the active soul, if that is not the soul of a either High human or dragonoid." Said Voltan .
" A soul doesn't have any gender or perticular race , they all look same. when the soul takes over a body it gets placed in orb like a container. The soul orb container is made according to the parents genes. When a soul enters the orb it automatically gains the genetical memories from it and as a child grows , it starts to understand her or his identity by her or himself. "
" But in this case , your child has three souls , the third soul core is that of a human. I don't know how or why but that is what I can understand."
" Can't we remove the human soul core, without harming the child." Said Voltan.
" No we can't do that. Human soul core is the reason that both other soul cores are still present and have not faded yet. The human soul core may be small but it may be the reason that the child is alive. It might not make sense but if the human soul didn't have entered in his body , he might have born dead." said Amelia.
Selena took away John from the Amelia and said " I don't care , what his soul is or not. The only thing I care is that he is my son , is not that right darling." in mixed emotions of pain, sadness and empathetic
" Yes, honey no one in the world will able to take away our child from you."said Cedar.
" Is there something more that we should might know."
Amelia was puzzled about disclosing more but didn't hold back after hearing the Cedar and said " even for human soul not having the soul orb container and being stretched between two soul cores might lead to a normal life of not having any congeniality for mana."
John's was in the control because his soul was attached to the the both soul orbs and cause significant influence to both soul orbs to act according to his will , it didn't had its own soul orb to get the control over the body. But both other souls were inactive and remaints of past , so both didn't possess the ability to interfere in getting control of the body.
John having little control over the both soul orbs is also the reason that he was able to understand the language of this world , as both souls were part of this in their previous life.
' what? What do you mean that I will not be able to use any magic. That doesn't make any sense, even after being born in magical world. If I can't learn to use magic, is not that biggest scam tha anyone can get.'
" We were doing a blessing ceremony for him, We will be grateful if you will perform a soul strengthening ceremony , Amelia." Said Silvan
"Hmm that might not be bad idea, we can perform the both at same time, it might solve some of the problem , If it goes smoothly. I will do my best." Said Amelia
Silvan told one of his man's to bring the all the things that Amelia told to bring. And the blessing ritual was allready was planned so it had all the necessary things were present.
A two meter tall and five meter long and four meter wide basin was present in a room. Silvan said " you should put the child in a basket and then put it in the basin."
Selena followed the instructions. As the all people were in position they started to chant the spell . It was basically a retual that performed for every High human child , during their naming ceremony.But as Selena didn't know how to do a ritual, and even if she knew enough presence of high human for performing the ritual is needed.
ceremonial ritual is a magical act that designed to welcome, and gift a child with specific traits, formally initiating them into their family or house hold . It serves as a, first rite of passage.
As ceremony initiated the water started to glow entered the baby in astonishing rate, which alarmed the all people present in the room. It was normal water, but water of the fountain Golden dew drop. As it name suggests it is golden coloured liquid that contains high amount of vitality and magical powers, created by the First High humans that came in existence.
It stimulates specifically with the body structure of the High humans and gets absorbed in their bodies but very few cases happened in the past where whole basin filled with the water got emptied.
' the water is entering in my body, it feels like every cell in my body is filling up with powers. It's getting empty very fast. They would not be mad at me for using all precious water. I would not diarrhoea , would I ?.'
" What happened is something wrong?" said Cedar after seeing shocked faces of everyone.
Amelia said with a confused faced " the body of baby absorbed the every drop of water. It might be a good thing as his body will be full of vitality and strength as his cells will become enhanced as he continues to grow with this much reserved energy."
" Without any delay, I will like to start the soul strengthning ritual." Said Amelia.
