There were only a handful of mory-books with parts missing left. But they were ones with rather large parts that had been ripped out of them. Eiro was positive that they were mories that were deeply connected to 'Emotions', sothing that was often rather hard to explain in words. So, it made sense if Eiro wasn't able to complete them just through logic by writing things down into the new books he was transcribing.
Eiro read through the books multiple tis, trying to figure out how he should be able to recover the emotions from that ti, but no matter what he tried, he was unable to feel anything. He felt weirdly disconnected from these mories, even when he made his ability focus only on that specific mory.
It was... like Eiro would never be able to feel that which he felt there at the ti.
But then, Eiro slowly got an idea. Instead of focusing on a specific mory, maybe Eiro could change the library to only include books of a certain topic.
Since these mories that he still had to recover mostly had to do with the children, or other important people in Eiro's life, he had to try anything he could in order to rember them. He didn't want to return still not holding the sa feelings for them as he used to.
Slowly, the Demon focused his mind and let go of this specific mory, instead just filling it with any mory that included Clentine inside of it. He knew everything about Clentine, and only Clentine filled his mind. This was what the minds of obsessive people had to look like, those that only ever lived for one specific person and cared for nothing but that person.
It felt a bit weird to Eiro, considering that he just drew this ntal comparison, but he should be able to figure this out like this. He grabbed the books that were left now that still had mories missing, and once more read through them, using the mories of Clentine he had to fill in parts. He acted these mories out, and soon, a small scrap of paper fell from the ceiling as Eiro felt sothing.
He felt his deep love and care for Clentine from the mont that he had first felt this parental love for her. It basically rged with all other emotions that he felt for Clentine, and made Eiro realize that this truly did work out properly. He would not need to return without these emotions for the children.
After going through and completing any and all parts of the mories that had to do with Clentine, he did so with Sammy. And then with Rudy, Leon, and Avalin. He rembered all of them.
Eiro chose to leave Arc for last, though, since he was aware that there was sothing else of importance connected to him that he should figure out in that situation as well. So, Eiro first rembered the emotions he felt for everyone else.
Especially those complex emotions, that were a mixture of deep trust and anger, connected to Jas opened up a lot of different mories for Eiro. For the next hour or so, this was all that Eiro did.
And then, there was only one person left that he had to focus on in this way. Arc.
All of Eiro's mind was filled with this reckless, intelligent young man. The Demon beca able to connect certain information about him in a new way, and soon ended up completing all of the mories that were missing.
Eiro rembered everything again. Finally, there was no need to worry about anything anymore. He would never end up forgetting sothing permanently ever again.
But not only that, Eiro's mind was filled with another realization. One that beca even more apparent when Eiro returned to the normal library of his mind. A single book fell from the ceiling in the center of the room and slamd down onto the ground with a loud thundering smash, way too loud for what a book that size was supposed to be able to create.
It was a book with pure white leather covering its outside, and a small tal lock placed onto it, keeping it shut. Nervous about what was going on, Eiro approached the book. He slowly picked it up, noticing that it was many tis heavier than it seed to be at first. As if it was completely made from lead instead of paper and leather.
The Demon looked at the lock that was placed onto it, unsure of what it was that was held in here. But he had a rough feeling at least.
These were the mories that Eiro pushed down into his subconscious over ti. Those that he didn't even want to rember sohow. Things that he rejected, or things that were so horrid that he didn't want to look at them.
He was able to figure out roughly which mories were in here from other mories. The specific mory of what it was like seeing Avalin be eaten alive.
The mory of what Eiro saw inside of his own chest cavity when opened it up using the Key card.
And the mory of what happened when Eiro nearly died during the fight against Edward.
There were certainly other small mories in there, and all of them were things that were important to know, and ones that Eiro did know before. Things that were probably sealed away when Eiro was given the chance to forget about them like this.
Now, he had to make the choice if he wanted to rember them. It was an easy one, really. Eiro put a bit of pressure onto the lock that was holding the book shut, and it quickly shattered into pieces. Sure, Eiro wasn't able to use actual strength here, but there was no way that he would let anything be sealed away within his own mind without being able to exert ntal power onto it.
Eiro slowly opened the book up, as nurous mories filled his mind. Most of them were just overwhelming mories, like tis where he felt extre sensory stimulation, but there were the mories he thought would be there.
And two of them made Eiro question quite a lot of things. Or rather, the things that those mories seed to hint at.
Eiro opened his eyes and stood up, looking at Lognir imdiately, "I'm done. I recovered all my mories." Eiro explained to the Dragon of Truth, who looked back at Eiro surprised, "What? Already?"
"Yes, already." The Demon muttered. He was more focused on the two important facts that were revealed to him after unsealing all those mories.
Eiro took a deep breath and looked at the figure in front of him, "Can you teach the rest of the steps of manipulating my abilities? Is there anything else that I need to know in particular?"
"...Well, there's not too much. You should be able to combine your abilities with each other rather easily. And then, combining Magic will work in the sa manner, it's just a lot tougher and requires much more ntal focus. And of course, it will use a lot more mana than normal, fusing magic within yourself."
Eiro slowly nodded his head. He understood what Lognir was saying. But right now, with his mind racing as it was, Eiro wanted to do sothing to make it stop.
The confusion was too much for Eiro. Sure, he brought this onto himself, but that didn't an that he wasn't allowed to struggle with this new knowledge.
Eiro tapped into the Spirit Gateway that he held within himself and pulled raw magic from there. And at the sa ti, he created ice magic within his own body that he would be pushing out of his body soon.
The Demon made both of the magical elents intertwine as he brought them to the tip of his finger Eiro slowly pushed the two types of magic out of his hand, and kept trying to rge them. But for now, all that happened was that a cloud of mist dropped down, due to the cold air and hot air hitting each other instantly.
Slowly but surely, Eiro pushed them together into each other.
"Wha-... you want to start with trying to fuse magic?" Lognir asked with a wry smile, "Sure, go ahead. But I don't know if it's going to-"
And the next mont, a fla sparked up in front of Eiro's hand, interrupting that which Lognir was going to say.
It was a pale blue, nearly white, fla that was floating in front of Eiro's finger.
"There we go." Eiro muttered quietly as he waved his hand around, making the fla grow in size.
"So, now that I can do the hardest step, I can probably do the rest as well. Is there anything else you wanted to teach ?" The Demon asked, but Lognir slowly shook his head.
"I... don't think there is much to teach you anymore, no. Now all you need to do is master these things, and any sort of abilities you can figure out from then on out is part of the next step. But that step is truly just to figure out which version of your abilities and skills is best suited for different situations, and being able to switch between them instantly." The Dragon explained, so Eiro took a deep breath.
"... I see." The Demon muttered quietly, before smiling at Lognir, "Thank you for your help. I'm truly indebted to you. If you ever need my help, in any way, shape, or form, I'll do whatever I can."
Lognir laughed quietly, "I will keep that in mind, but for now I'm fine as long as you stay around Solomon and choose to help him out when you can."
"Of course, that's what I was planning anyway." Eiro pointed out. Slowly, they made their way to the next room over, where the other Dragons were sitting like normal, just playing around a bit.
The mont they did so, Krista stood up and walked over to Eiro and Lognir, "So, you finished your training, I assu?" She asked, and Lognir slowly nodded, "Yes, why are you asking?"
"It's quite simple. Co here, child." Krista said, clearly looking at Eiro. The Demon approached her and felt the Dragon of Chaos' palm pressing onto his forehead.
And then, for just an instant, his mind went completely blank, before nurous senses and mories filled his mind in a chaotic manner, coming at him randomly. Things were slightly different for a few monts, changing every ti Eiro focused on anything in particular.
Just a minute later, everything returned to normal though. And Eiro looked back at Krista, confused and startled before the Dragoness spoke.
"There you go.. My training must be a bit more simple. But I'm sure now, you will understand what 'Chaos' truly is, is that not right?"
