-- POV Freya --
In my back, two identical and majestic ice wings had ford. I had imagined them to be large, light and at the sa ti powerful, so that they could carry up into the sky. They must have been about 2 ters long and even though they were immobile for the mont, these wings could envelop completely by their size. My new creation had long ice feathers of a pure blue almost transparent. What struck imdiately was that the feathers were smooth but also looked like scales.
Finally it was hard to determine if my wings were those of a bird or a demon. Above the wings and feathers, where they were supposed to unfold, there was a horn on each of them making them more terrifying. My long black hair fell between these two wings and the contrast made look more like a fallen angel.
*Wonderful*
Now that I had succeeded, one thing was certain: the more ti passed, the more I felt capable of doing anything. My limitless system was making more and more powerful, making unique, formidable and constantly evolving. While I was admiring my wings, a thought was running through my head.
*Mmh I thought I would unlock a skill this way*
[Maybe if you try to fly ? So far you've only created a "thing" that is no different than any other in the eyes of the system. To get there I think you need to find a use for your creation. For the mont these wings are only decoration, but if you manage to fly you should get a ssage from the system]
Until now my wings had remained immobile and the first step was to make them move. Closing my eyes, I concentrated again as I imagined them as an extension of my own body. Again I used all my senses to beco one with my creation as the mana in surged. The more I concentrated, the more I felt a strange connection between the ice and my body. Just by imagining them in motion, I began to feel them moving in my back.
*It's...it's special because I know they're there, I can't look at them and I can't really feel them but these wings are part of *
The feeling was more than strange. It was like being aware of sothing, controlling it but not feeling anything...like that part of the body was asleep. These wings were not real mbers of my body, which explained this feeling. As I finally opened my eyes, at the sa ti my wings opened to their full length and size. At that mont, a great gust of wind ca from this single movent and turned the dust of the ground.
[They look powerful, will you try to fly ?]
*Yes, I'll try even if I don't think I'll succeed right away*
This feeling was new to , not to ntion the fact that I had never owned wings until today. Moving them slowly, I folded them towards to touch them. I wanted to get to know them in detail before embarking on a potentially dangerous aerial exercise. So my fingers ran over the ice and to the touch these light blue wings were neither hot nor cold.
*That's interesting. Unlike my attack and defense creations, this ice I create with ambient mana has no temperature*
[Didn't you already notice that ?]
*Yes, but I never really took the ti to think about it*
[Well, I think that's because this ice doesn't co directly from your body but from the environnt. Your whole being is born from ice and chaos which explains your skills playing on the temperature as well as your "Natural aura of the ice Empress" skill]
*Mmh I see. If it's not from my body then this ice is nothing more than an elent without temperature...*
As I answered Kira, my mind was working in the background to try flying for the first ti. My wings began to flap slowly and then more and more rapidly, turning the earth over in clouds of dust. I could feel my feet lift off the ground as I experienced this for the first ti. The muffled sounds of flapping wings could be heard on the training ground as I climbed carefully in a straight line into the sky. I moved slowly, very slowly, ter by ter as I concentrated on not falling.
[Wow you almost got it right the first ti, that's perfect keep going !]
I felt like a baby taking her first steps and my little sister's words made smile. I was making a lot of noise but it was due to my inexperience and by the ti I reached 10 ters high I had already started to get used to it. My wings were now stirring the air keeping still in the sky as I spoke.
*It's quite difficult at first but my mind manages to keep up without getting too tired. With practice I should be able to do it without thinking*
[Tsk cheater haha~ That said it's true that it's pretty impressive, you'd have to master the move now]
Kira was right, it was good to be able to go up in the sky but if I found myself unable to move, it was of little use. The theory was acquired, the idea was clear in my head but what about the practice ? I had no idea how to do it. However, I saw it as a challenge, a wall that I had to learn to cross alone and needless to say that this thought excited .
*Let's practice !*
____
I had been practicing my flying for several hours now. No one had co in yet, so I had been able to spend my afternoon concentrating.
*Let's see the result*
I was above the training ground but this ti much higher than my first attempt. I could see the entire Empire beneath my feet and after fighting off an unexpected vertigo, I could stand with dignity in the sky. My wings flapped more quietly to keep still and as I felt a gust of wind, I suddenly closed them to dive head first to the ground.
[Don't miss onee-san, your fall could very well destroy the manor]
Kira warned but I didn't listen, I fell at an impressive speed and as the ground was getting dangerously close, my wings suddenly opened. With this one movent, I was rising thanks to the draughts before flapping my wings to accelerate. I was carried by the wind and the power of my flapping, flying through the air, free and in my world. My wings still made a little noise but I was so fast that I didn't even notice.
*It's incredible ! Kira look, we are flying !*
In front of my little sister I couldn't contain my excitent, I had practiced for hours and the result was amazing. I was flying in the skies as if no one could stop and the sky was no longer a limit. When I was human, a fantasy like that was impossible and even when I ca to this world I thought so. Today I had beautiful wings on my back making twirl and flutter, the result of my hard and rigorous training.
[Yes you did it !]
I could hear Kira's voice sounding just as excited as I was as I gently landed on the ground. I wanted to fly for hours and hours more, unfortunately I had to finish my checks. I shouldn't be late either because I had planned to join Gaya and Shiro.
[Eh ? Why did you stop ?]
At that mont my little sister's voice seed to sulk as I made my wings disappear. As they were gone, I couldn't help but chuckle before answering her.
*Haha~ I'll have plenty of ti to try later, don't worry. I spent all afternoon training, so I have to take care of the rest*
[Mmh I know...I opened the last notifications for you to check by the way]
*Thanks*
I was going to stand against one of the trees going around the field to rest and learn more about a skill I was very intrigued by.
[ Congratulations ! You have unlocked the skill : Master of Souls (lvl 1) ]
[ A soul counter has been added to your status - souls 2/3 ]
[ You now have the possibility to use them and increase your possibilities. It's up to you to discover the many uses of this skill. Good luck ! ]
Thanks to my Chaos elent, which had reached level 5, I could now absorb living beings. Last night I had tried this new possibility by absorbing the twins June and May. From this action ca this new skill called "Master of Souls" which was unknown to .
*Are there any details about this skill ?*
[Yes, as always, but they won't necessarily be of much help.]
As Kira spoke these words, the skill window opened.
[ Master of Souls - a skill that allows you to store souls, the number increasing with level. The souls of those you absorb are kept intact in a tiless place waiting for you to release them. Find a living or dead body to release a soul. At that ti they will automatically enter your system ]
I read the words before my eyes and was silent. I didn't expect this at all and even though I didn't have all the answers, I was speechless again. I was obviously thinking about the twins but the first thing I said was not about them.
*Kira...you...you think I could get you out with...this skill ?*
My voice trembled slightly and my heart started to beat furiously at the thought. My little sister, who had been silent as well, answered with the sa trembling voice.
[I... you'll have to find a way to transfer to this space but I think... yes, it's possible]
As I heard her pronounce this sentence, an imnse happiness invaded . Indeed Kira did not appear in the count of the souls that I had but this news was enough. I was getting closer and closer to the solution and I felt that I could keep my promise. I didn't know what to say anymore, I was happy but mostly relieved for Kira who must have been too.
*Little sister ! We are almost there !*
At that mont I wanted to hug her but I couldn't do it, I swore to myself that I would do it the day I was waiting for.
[Y..yes onee-san...I...]
As I thought, Kira who was usually excited, teasing and playful in nature was now calm, shy and emotional. Her voice was softer than usual and I could already imagine her face would have been adorable at that mont.
After a few minutes of silence during which we did not speak but we understood each other, I finally spoke. I knew that Kira was much too shy about this and preferred to move on while she recovered from the information. We had plenty of ti to talk about it afterwards anyway.
*Um, so uh...if I understand what it says, June and May are still alive. They are probably like sleeping souls and don't have a body shell anymore*
[Y..yes, that's right. So logically they could be reborn as any species you choose]
*Interesting...but for the mont I don't have anything at hand, so it's impossible to free them. I don't want to damage their souls when they co out either, so I have to be very careful*
This new skill was a surprise, when I saw it appear in my system I thought it was a basic counter. I thought that these souls would give EXP but in the end this skill was much more practical. Sothing also told that I hadn't discovered all the possibilities but that would co with leveling up.
[You don't seem to be against having them here at all, onee-san. I thought you would think a little more about it since they were human]
*Well, I don't mind. If it had been John and Sarah I wouldn't have even considered it but I think the twins deserve another chance. I happen to be able to give it to them and I would gladly show them what they have been missing in their human lives*
That night, when they had shown signs of sincere regret, I had agreed to kill them painlessly. I had not given up on killing them because June and May had still co to capture and probably kill my people. The fact that I could offer them a second chance was totally fair because they had already paid for their sins. A new life would soon be available for these twins.
[Mmh I agree. Finally June and May will have experienced sothing a bit similar to you when you ca to this world]
*That's true. Anyway I'm satisfied because today we learned a lot of positive things !*
[Hihi~ yes]
I had learned to move my ice creations, I could now fly, Kira's liberation day was not far off, and the twins were still alive and ready to join my Empire. My afternoon dedicated to the system had been a real success and as I stood up, I couldn't help but smile.
[I think I'll leave you for a few hours, I suddenly feel exhausted by all this news]
*Sure, rest well Kira*
It was totally understandable after all that had happened. Walking slowly, I returned to the mansion to clean up before rejoining my family. As I opened the door carefully, the hurried faces of Lia and Triss suddenly appeared before . With a sideways step, I dodged their heads that had missed hitting in the chest while waiting to hear what they wanted to say.
"Your..your Highness, forgive us !"
The two half-human female butlers bowed before continuing as they finally looked up at .
"We co to..."
My eyes dipped into theirs and suddenly sothing unexpected happened again. At that mont, their cheeks turned completely red as Lia fainted and Triss managed to murmur a few words before she also fell unconscious.
"Your...your face...a Goddess.."
