Avatar: Mage of All Elements-Chapter 115

«What the fu...» and immediately received a slap from Azula. «... A deer with antlers?»

«She chose a horned rabbit», muttered one of the guards, who was basically our guard. Seeing our confused faces, he still managed to give details: «When you started the merge and got distracted, a horned rabbit jumped out into the clearing and Kaguya-chan ran towards it, yelling 'rabbit'. But that's why your tails and ears were left» Was it just me, or did he really ask that with envy?

«I see», Azula stretched and looked at Kaguya with a stern expression. The latter just shuffled her feet, «We'll talk at home.»

And walking over to us, she took our hands and led us home with a quick stride. Still, we attracted a lot of attention, for kitsune walking freely on the island is not a common sight.

But I'm more worried about something else. What was that wave? I destroyed the portals, and even though I was distracted at the time, I couldn't help but sense the energy of the spirits. The only question is how? For the first time, I regretted being a child.

«What was that?» Azula asked me nervously when we got home, since she also recognized the energy.

«I don't know», I shook my head, stroking Kaguya's head to calm her down, «Except for one thing I can say for sure. The world is changing.»

«What do you mean?» Azula asked me, unable to put her own feelings into words.

«The wave of energy that has traveled around the world has begun to change the energy that we had before», I tried to explain, as I did not fully understand everything myself, and a child's mind makes you see things from a slightly different angle, «Most likely, after a generation, almost all mages will lose their powers. At the same time, they will feel that magic is leaving the world, though it won't be», I twisted my hand, trying to find a sentence, «It will just change.»

«What about us?» she asked worriedly.

«Nothing», I smiled, «We're lucky in a way. After all, that wave caught us while we were merging with the spirits, which interrupted the process and left us with tails, ears and horns», I scratched Kaguya's horns, which made her laugh. «That's a minus. On the plus side, this merger has allowed us to be closer to the spirit world, so changes in the world won't hurt us.»

«So we get to keep the magic», she muttered slowly.

«Just like everyone else who has already merged with the spirits», I nodded, smiling, «Although they will be affected by the changes, but not as much. They'll just have to find another way to control the energy and that's it», I shrugged.

«You know, it's not that easy», she muttered doubtfully.

«I know», I nodded importantly as the stress eased a bit and I wanted to relax, «Except the world itself won't let magic go to waste, so there will be a genius in this or the next generation who will find the right way.»

«Where does this knowledge come from?» she said doubtfully. And it wasn't me she doubted. It was something else.

«It's hard to explain», I scratched the back of my head, «But back then», I emphasized the word, «I saw a lot», the smile faded and I sank into those memories, «To see a world die and something greater be born in its place is worth a lot. It is the process itself that gives tremendous insight into the fundamental laws by which the world operates. It's why I understand some things.»

«I see», Azula murmured, but I could tell from her tone that she didn't understand anything.

«Except why did you merge with the rabbit?» I pinched Kaguya lightly, causing her to yelp and twitch, «It's almost the weakest spirit.»

«It's not weak», she frowned, «It's strong.»

«Why?» Azula asked quietly.

«I don't know», she pursed her lips, «But I know!»

«Can you feel it?» I decided to help her after all.

«Yes!» she smiled immediately «You feel it!» she mumbled, swallowing the letters.

«Good then», Azula calmed down, since I had explained to her earlier what her potential was, «Are you hungry?»

«Yes!» Kaguya muttered.

We all ended up eating what we didn't eat in the morning.

Finally, I can train properly. Now that I have a connection to the spirit world, my abilities are back to their previous level. Yes, my body won't be able to handle one percent of its full power yet, but just the basics I'm about to lay down.

An impulse, and a small stone flew into the wall and shattered. Bang, and a small jet of water crashed into the same wall, splashing across it. A flick, and a small fireball came out of my hand and hit the same wall. And concentrating, I «Took» a larger stream and then launched it at the same wall.

As they say, I feel like an Avatar. Four elements and all my own. All that's left is to unleash the full potential of the air.

'Are you here?' I asked, wanting to try out some energy magic techniques. And the answer was silence. No thoughts, no emotions. Sensing something bad, I sat down in a meditation posture and immersed myself. So I had no inner peace.

Why do I need to visualize when I understand the essence of the process? So I started to search Kyūbi inside me. And the results were pitiful. I merged with him. Not absorbed or killed, but merged. Apparently, since she was so weak, her recent birth and merging with me had made her a little weak.

And the energy wave just finished her off, and in order not to die completely, she merged with me. That's why I have a tail and ears.

I had no words. I killed a mother and mutilated a child.
