'The conflict between The Yadour empire and the Rimor Kingdom grows more heated by the day. With a few insurgent forces trying to declare their independence in the Breil region, the empire seems to have taken the opportunity to march their soldiers to the borders, as a full-blown war threatens to start at any day. The Academy does not appear to have any intentions of ditating between both countries. Peace is rely held by a tiny string, and I fear the day that string breaks.' ???

'I don't know what the second elent are you talking about,' I admitted, I was clueless when it ca to magic save for a few of my theories and deductions.
I never truly understood what mana or magic as a whole was, so I was quite interested in what the strange old dragon was talking about. Hearing my question, his gaze moved as it locked with mine before he squinted his eyes.
"You don't know what's your second elent?" I could easily sense his confusion as he asked.
I sheepishly nodded, feeling strangely ashad. 'Was I supposed to know my elents at birth or sothing?' I wondered.
"Judging by your size, you should have already gone through your rite of passage. No?" He asked again.
'My rite of passage?' I mumbled, my confusion must have been easily noticeable since his eyes squinted even more.
"Youngling, how old are you?" He slowly asked in apprehension.
'A few weeks I guess?' I replied, to which his jaw hung open in surprise before his body turned into liquid, once again disappearing from his place and reappearing by my side.
He constantly moved around as he seed to study my boy with shock. I stood still unsure of what was wrong until he finally stopped and turned to look at with a strange expression.
'W-What?' I asked.
"You really are only a few weeks old," He muttered, seemingly talking to himself rather than to . "How fascinating, " He mumbled.
'I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure I follow?' I asked, the strange dragon seed to have descended into a world of his own, as he kept muttering to himself while pacing left and right.
At my question, he turned to face once again. "Hmmm, since you are still young it does make sense for you to not understand. But then again how are you this big?" He asked.
'I think this happened when I hunted a strange crimson four-eyed monster in a giant lake,' I answered, unsure about the reason myself.
My growth sprout did occur right after that, so I suppose it must have had sothing to do with it? Hearing my reply, the strange purple dragon suddenly paused before he nodded continuously a few tis.
"Indeed, that would explain things," He said.
'About that magic elent you ntioned?' I hesitantly asked. I was not going to let an opportunity for to gain more knowledge pass.
"Magic huh," He muttered, a terrifying grin made its way onto his face causing a shiver to run down my spine.
I didn't have ti to react before his entire body turned into his liquid form again, this ti it extended to the sky, I hurriedly summoned a shield of water yet that proved to be futile as he enveloped whole.
It felt as If I was underwater for a second before the liquid disappeared. The strange dragon reappeared by my side, we were both teleported to a different space.
I glanced around in surprise, we were standing on a purple water surface, the purple sky seed to touch the water as all I could see was purple. 'Where are we?' I managed to ask.
"This is what remains of my soul space,' He said, his voice carrying an undisguised hint of sadness.
'Soul space...' I muttered, rolling the phrase in my mouth as I tried to understand what was going on.
"You see young one, soul space is the source of every dragon's strength. The color you see here is the one representing my elent," He explained, as his eyes wandered around the empty realm.
'Purple? What is your elent?' I asked in curiosity.
As I said that, I turned to look at him only to be t with a horrifying grin. His face moved inches next to mine before speaking.
"Poison,"
I audibly gulped as I took a step back in shock. "Don't be so surprised little one, I have no intentions of harming you, if I had you wouldn't be standing here," He said in a reassuring tone, yet that only served to further scare .
"Poison wasn't my only elent, once upon a ti, I also held control over water as well yet ti change..." He mumbled the last part with a blank look before he shook his head.
I didn't interrupt and simply waited for him to finish speaking. He continued staring ahead as he spoke. "Magic little one, is split into two branches. The elental magic, which consists of the main elents, fire, water, wind, and earth."
I nodded, father was a fire elent, mother was a wind one and I was a water elent. I think green Is wind while Golden boy is earth, but then again what about White and Blacky?
"The second branch is also the rarest one. Dragons with these elents stand horn and wing above the rest, and that is the pillars of existence." He said in a serious tone. I gulped, eager to hear more.
"The elents in the pillars of existence are also four, Holy magic, Dark magic, Cosmo magic, and finally ti magic."
My eyes widened at the revelation, Holy magic, and Dark magic, that just sounded like White and Blacky! 'Well, shit there goes my dignity as the eldest,'
Suddenly, the strange dragon continued rekindling my lost hope. "You little one, seem to have a particularly strong affinity with one of the four pillars of existence,"
'I do?!' I asked excitedly.
"Hmm, you should be able to find out which one exactly after your Rite of passage," He answered with a nod.
Hearing that, my mouth curved upwards into a wide grin as I grew excited by the thought of wielding one of the elents of the pillars of existence.
'Even the na sounds impressive,' I mumbled with stars in my eyes.
