What I saw unfold before my eyes, could only be described as another world. I was different from when I used my Inner energy. No, this ti, I didn't rely 'see' new colors, no, this ti I could 'see' different entities flying about.
Not one, not two, but countless entities filled the sky, so were on the ground, others in the trees. The entities almost felt like spirits, so had a vaguely humanoid shape, while others looked to have no form at all, simply appearing as a wisp of sorts instead.
The strange entities were in different colors, so red, so grey, so yellow, others green, then there were the blue ones. Countless wisp-like entities surrounded affectionately. I could sohow sense their intention as they stuck closer to , forming a barrier of sorts that prevented most other entities from approaching .
'Are these the different mana elents?' I wondered in uncertainty as I glanced at the different world before . The plane suddenly felt a lot 'bigger' than before. I always had a vague inkling that the mana was sentient, the scene before just seed to confirm my guesses.
Turning my attention towards grandmother in curiosity, caused to suddenly paused in surprise. The elents that surrounded her were grey ones alongside a few that looked almost to be almost pink? Still, I was not surprised by her seemingly dual elents, I was mostly amazed by how docile and calm her elents appeared to be compared to mine.
The only way to compare them was as If my water elents were a bunch of undisciplined little children running about happily around . Hers on the other hand looked like a small army standing in a formation ready to protect her from whatever may intend to do her harm.
While there weren't many elents surrounding her, I noticed that the ones that did looked significantly larger than the ones around . If my wisp-shaped elents were the size of a palm, hers were the size of an entire arm, all with various distinct forms, none appeared to have that vague wisp-shape my elents had.
Grandmother noticed my stare and smiled at , before ushering with her head towards the sky. Curious, I followed her gaze subconsciously only to pause in shock. 'How the hell did I miss that?!' I almost shouted out loud.
There flowing in the sky was the mana stream itself! It was clearly visible this ti, as It appeared like an abnormally large rainbow river with various colors of all shades. I could vaguely see the countless elents swimming about alongside the stream. The fascinating part of It all was the fact that the mana stream seed to be connected to the plane below by various small threads, threads that carried the elents down and up from It.
It was as If a whole new world unraveled before my eyes. I subconsciously took a step back as an abnormally large earth elent slowly passed by. Surprisingly, my water elents instantly gathered around , tightening the barrier that 'protected' as they turned to 'glare' at the giant earth elent.
A chuckled almost escaped my mouth as I saw that. 'Is It because of you little fellas that I can't use another elent?' I wondered. It was then that I rembered, there was sothing that bugged , and now was the best ti to test It out.
I slowly reached out to the water mana in my surroundings, curious to see how that would 'look' with my new vision. To my surprise, my whole body seed to glow with a faint unfamiliar color causing the happy water elents to almost turn crazy as they fought against one another to rush towards .
Surprised, I almost imdiately paused my summoning causing the faint glow that surrounded to slowly die out, the water elents seed to finally calm down, as they returned to simply flocking around . It was then that grandmother turned her attention towards and spoke.
"You see now little Aether, while your affinity with mana could only be described as monstrous, your control over It is still severely lacking. We are not even near a water source, yet you already have so many water elents surrounding you, that's impressive, but, If you don't learn to control It," Shaking her head, grandmother continued.
"If you don't learn to control It then It will only turn into a disadvantage instead," She explained solemnly to which I nodded in understanding, before slowly asking. "Grandmother, I don't see a lot of elents surrounding you?" I asked cautiously. Although I understood what she said about control, I was still a bit curious about the elents around her as they all had their distinct shapes.
Scratching her chin in a surprisingly human-like way, grandmother slowly explained. "Well, in my case little Aether, I prefer quality over quantity," She said causing to silently mumble. "Quality?"
"To put It in simple terms, think of the elents as dragons, the little ones surrounding you are all younglings, while the ones around are the elders," She said with a wide grin. My eyes widened in surprise as I watched her elents suddenly make a move.
One that had a vaguely humanoid shape stirred as I could 'see' a thin thread appear linking It with the gigantic mana stream above. Almost instantly, countless wind elents seed to teleport towards grandmother's location using that thin thread.
It was but for a re instant, but the number of elents that surrounded grandmother was already way beyond what I had around . I gulped unconsciously, even though she had a lot more encompassing her, I could see that she was in total control over them, instead of letting them blindly flock around her, grandmother chose to gather them into a strict formation of sorts.
Gazing at her in awe, I was surprised to see that the wind elents were a small distance away from her body, while the almost pink-colored elent stuck closer to her. Unable to reign in my curiosity, I asked carefully. "Grandmother, you can use two elents?"
Smiling she nodded in confirmation. "Indeed, I'm not surprised you can see It," I paused for a second before asking hesitantly. "Grandmother, your second elent seems a little bit familiar, but I'm not very sure..." I hesitated for a second. Her elent was indeed familiar, the color, in particular, reminded of the charming pink dragoness Linyss back in my naming ceremony.
'Though, for so reason, I don't think it's the sa elent,' I inwardly noted. Although the colors seed sowhat similar, I had a nagging feeling that they were not the sa.
"Hmm, you are curious about my second elent? Well, no harm in showing you, It's with It that I can sneak into the Gods plane unnoticed, otherwise, It would be a pain," She mumbled the last part to herself. I nodded excitedly as I waited for her to showcase the strength of this strange elent.
