Elysian Tale: Flare of Frost

Kabanata 57

Third Person

Frost swiftly moved his hand and the whole forest in the Snowlake City froze. He snapped his fingers and it immediately unfroze. It happened for just a matter of seconds. Wala sa sarili siyang napatingin sa magkabilang kamay niya.

He thought he had become useless and powerless. He thought he can never wield magic once again. Kung ano man ang nangyayari sa kaniya ay hindi niya rin maipaliwanag. He was unsure himself where this powerful and uncertain element coming from.

He opened both of his hands, the blue flame started to ignite. It was something he could not figure out. Inangat niya ang kaliwang kamay niya hanggang sa tumapat ito sa mukha niya. It was burning like fire, it was hot but somehow cold, and it can either freeze or burn anything he wants.

"Frost," Aerus called him. Tinapunan niya lang ito ng tingin. 

"I think I know what happened to you." Frost stared at him, urging him to spill what he knows. 

"It's one of the Ancient Lost Magic,"panimula nito. If it's something ancient, Aerus knew about it. He had vast knowledge when it comes to ancient writings, spells, magic, and a lot more to mention. 

"What's happening to you is a rare case of Bid Healing Magic," Napakunot ang noo ni Frost sa sinabi nito. 

Bid Healing Magic? 

Five of his spiritual points were severely damaged, that includes breaking his bid. There's no way of restoring it. Tanggap na niyang hindi niya magagamit ang elemento niya, pero hindi siya nagsisisi rito kung kapalit naman no'n ay kaligtasan ng babaeng mahal niya. 

"It's a Void Magic for it endangers the person who performs it, that's why no one else tried it," Auerus paused and Frost just stared at him intently, attentive of the information he is giving him. 

"Bid Healing Magic. It means transferring your own bid to a person with a broken bid. Once they combine and merge with each other, the healthy bid will try to fix the broken one. The ability of the bid to heal depends on their strength and compatibility." Frost nods his head. Naiintindihan niya ang mga sinasabi nito. 

The nature of the magic was natural, what he don't understand is why did it became void. Why did people try to burry it and considered it ancient and lost? 

"The tricky part is, the longer the other person's bid stays and heal your bid, the more he or she feels weak. Sa bawat araw na dadaan na wala sa kaniya ang bid niya, manghihina ito. The body of the original owner of the bid might lose the ability to accept it once again." Frost then brushed his hair up as he began thinking of certain scenarios. 

Aerus was pointing out that someone willingly transferred their own bid to him and that he needs to recover and heal quickly before the body of the person who helped him get weakened and lost all the magical prowess. 

Bahagyang napakunot ang noo niya. He doesn't even know who gave him the bid. Paano niya malalaman kung sino 'yon upang maibalik kung hindi niya rin naman ito kilala. 

"However, there's something wrong." Aerus' facial expression suddenly changed. Magkasalubong ang kilay nito't halatang naguguluhan din ito. 

"The Bid Healing Magic is only transferable to same element. It means Water Elemental bid can only heal its co-water Elemental Bid," All of a sudden, Frost was confused. 

What does he mean?

"Ano ibig mo sabihin?" agad nitong tanong. 

"Ano ba nararamdaman mo sa sarili mo?" Napaisip naman ito. Now that he mentioned about it, he noticed some changes in his body.
