Chapter 201: About the Forbidden Magic
My heart felt warm talking to my mother like this. Talking about things such as my love life to a mother is one of the things that I had only dreamed of, but now here we are faced to face.
"Oh mama, I have a lot of things to tell you." I am so happy that tears are starting to fall from my eyes again.
"We have much time for that, now that we are together again." My mother wiped my tears away. "But first we need to talk about the most pressing matter." My mother's tone became more serious and her smiling face changes to a neutral one.
I looked at my mother with confusion. What is the pressing matter she is talking about? Is it about the war my Aunt Patricia started? Does my mother know something?
"Since the time your aunt saved me, she was always trying to contact me through my mind. There is a reason for this." My mother said with a serious tone. "She is planning to revive the forbidden magic our father once used. That was same magic that destroyed our country."
"Mama, you know of the forbidden magic?" I asked in haste. If my mother can give us some information to prevent the forbidden magic from being used then it would be a win for us.
My mother shook her head. "I was just a small girl that time the research of the forbidden magic was ongoing. What I know that only the 'chosen one' can wield and use such enormous power. And my father thought he was that 'chosen one'." My mother looked sad while recalling the past. "The only thing I could remember was that in activating the forbidden magic, there is a key to be used. This key was divided in three parts and they were hidden in different parts of the continent. It is said that after the three divided parts of the key was combined into one and used to unleash the forbidden magic, if the bearer was not the chosen one then these parts would be divided once again and will be magically transported back to their hidden places respectively."
"Are you saying that because grandfather was not the chosen one, these parts have returned to their original place after he used it?" I asked.
"I believe so." Mother replied.
"Then Aunt Patricia is searching for them right now?" I felt a shiver down my spine.
If my aunt gets her hands on those parts and the key was formed once more, then there is a possibility that they can use the forbidden magic again.
"We need to stop her from getting the parts of the key." I said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, that is why I am not willing to talk to my sister." Mother explained. "The map that leads to the hiding places of these parts was entrusted to the both of us. We have half of each map. Without the other, the map is useless. It is because the map is engraved in a magical object that was broken in two."
"The map was engraved in a magical object?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes, remember the necklace I have entrusted to you?" My mother asked and I nodded. "That necklace was an ancient artifact embedded with a huge amount of magic power that was said to be from the Almighty One himself."
"The Almighty One?" I asked mother confused.
"The Almighty One was the founder of this continent. He was a powerful being that gave life to this land. The Atlantians are his descendants and we of royal blood are his direct descendants. Thus we can use magic powers that control the elements of nature and also non-elemental abilities." Mother explained.
"So the necklace you gave me contains a big amount of magical power and also serves as a map to the hidden parts of the key." I concluded.
There was a wave of information being given to me right now. What I need is to digest all of this so that I can analyze and remember all of them.
