Chapter 50: Awakening Time 2
Vicente and Rory awoke early the next day, quickly making their first meal for this glorious day.
Today Rory would awaken his powers!
Not only was Vicente happy that his friend had reached this point in his journey, but he was also looking forward to seeing the powers that Rory would get.
No one knew who Rory’s father was, so his powers were very likely to be a surprise to all of them.
But none of them were raising expectations about Rory’s talent, but rather what ability he would have.
No one believed his talent would escape the ordinary and probably be between Orange and Yellow.
But in this world, the Magic Gem was not only associated with the magical form of its owner but how their powers might develop along their journey.
One could develop unique powers by connecting a Magic Gem to one or more Magic Pentagrams.
For example, someone with an elemental affinity for water, without any Pentagrams, could more easily use their mana to manipulate that element. But by adding Pentagrams, the greater affinity for water could evolve and form water-based attack forms.
Along their journey, one could, for example, form a water avatar, creating a form of power that would be hard to find similar in the world, like a unique power form.
Some could form weapons, others special powers capable of predicting the future, controlling objects, etc. ｂ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟ｌ.
There were no limits to this, and it all depended on how far one could go!
So all of Vicente’s group was anxious when they finished eating at a local tavern and went to the local Awakening Temple!
…
Upon arriving in front of the temple in the middle of Millfall, Vicente came upon a building similar to the one in Saltstar City.
The Awakening Temple belonged to the Congregation of Revelations, so all their buildings around Polaris Realm followed the same construction model.
Precisely because of this, what one could achieve in this temple in Millfall, Saltstar City, or any other on the continent, would be the same.
One’s powers depended more on their own characteristics than on the temple in which one awakened their powers.
The difference was the presence of specialists capable of inviting young people and changing their fate.
As such, for people who did not want to be chosen by influential organizations, regardless of their talents, smaller towns like Millfall were somewhat interesting.
Rory intended to stay by Vicente’s side and was okay with awakening his powers in Millfall. Seeing the coliseum-shaped temple in front of him, he felt nervous, full of curiosity as to what he would get there.
“Shall we go there?” Vicente smiled at him, giving Rory a light slap on the back.
Rory nodded and walked up the stairs in front of the coliseum.
Vicente watched families gathering with the young people who would awaken their skills this day in the surrounding area, but he was not so moved.
There wasn’t a single day that he didn’t think about Lauren and the day his father died. But he didn’t see this place as a weakness or a problem that would make him feel bad there.
What had happened to Lauren could have happened anywhere else. After all, Magic Gems were always visible on the foreheads of magicians, so sooner or later, those interested in his sister’s powers could take her.
He walked up the stairs in front of the Awakening Temple with Rory without bothering about what had happened about 3 years ago.
He soon saw the temple members guiding the people there.
“Who among you will awaken your powers today?” A woman dressed in the temple uniform asked their group after a few minutes of them standing there.
Rory raised his right hand and smiled. “I will. I turned 14 last night.”
“Okay, follow…” She quickly pointed him in the way Rory should go.
After that, she directed Vicente and his men to proceed to the spectators’ area.
“Boss, are you anxious? It will soon be your day to follow the path that Rory is taking today.” One of the young men following Vicente asked.
The older man among these Vicente warriors looked at the son of his former boss with a little apprehension, knowing that although it was a critical moment for his group, it was also a delicate matter for Vice.
But Vicente replied softly, with sincerity in his words, “Yes, indeed I am. I look forward to the day when I will know my limits to adjust my plans. My talents are probably not great, but I believe that with my weapons, I can go further than many imagine.
The same goes for you.”
Seeing their boss looking at them, these men nodded to Vicente, feeling good that their leader cared about them and gave them a chance to challenge their destinies.
As they smiled, they soon reached the second level of the coliseum. There they got one of the galleries with a good view of where Rory was standing.
Rory was already standing on the Awakening Platform with more than a dozen other youths, all looking around anxiously.
This was particularly true for Rory, for unlike Vicente, he had never seen any Awakenings before.
But his nervousness would soon subside as time passed. When the middle of the day came, the same voice Vicente had heard in Saltstar City sounded in that place, starting the ceremony.
“That voice… I heard it when I was in the Awakening Temple in Saltstar City.” Vicente commented while frowning his eyebrows.
Someone near Vicente heard this and commented in a humorous tone. “That’s natural. That is the voice of the temple master of our Seidel Kingdom. All temples around the kingdom are activated by him daily in the middle of the day.”
Vicente and his men looked at the young blond man with an unusual Magic Gem on his forehead.
“I didn’t know that,” Vice said. “Thanks for the information.”
“It’s nothing, haha.” That blond young man smiled. “Is anyone from your group awakening today? My little sister is here for her awakening. I’m looking forward to seeing her great powers show themselves!”
“I hope she succeeds,” Vicente stated. “My friend is going to awaken his powers in this group… I am also looking forward to it.
By the way, my name is Vicente.”
“Pleasure to meet you, Vicente. My name is Lukas.” That young man moved his hat, greeting this young man who did not look simple, although accompanied by ordinary people. “Are you far from your awakening?”
“No, I’ll be down there soon,” Vice said, looking at the Awakening Platform.
“Good for you… If fate brings us together again, I’ll be eager to find out your results.”
After saying that, that blond young man turned his attention to the platform where the Awakening Ceremony was initiated at this moment!
