Her face carries something of a dark tone after the words left my mouth. "You made me and immortal...?" she says stunned and with a dark look on her face. "what gives you the right to make a decision like that involving in my life?" she says angrily with what seemed to be contempt and hatred. "Do you think this was an easy choice to me anything that happens to you happens to me I carry the pain and burden of it as well if you were conscious then your neck was broken by agares the moment that happened I lost consciousness completely because of that its a curse for that reason but it allows me to protect and keep what I cherish most of all." I say flatly "why did you save me then? why make me an immortal that will only be able to cause you pain you have no idea who I am yet why did you save me what purpose does it serve?" she says tears beginning to form "Do believe I have no clue about who you are nor do I personally care about who you are I made a decision and I have to live with it for the rest of my life I chose to make you an immortal because I couldn’t bear to see another person die in front of me like that day...?" I say unable to continue "what do you mean that day-" she says "well you seem to be doing well your not laying dead in your bed anymore which can always be looked at as a plus." a voice from behind me speaks out I turn around to see shockingly that it is Headmaster Johnathon "what are you doing here sir?" I say shocked he looks at me and begins to speak. "well due to the circumstances I needed to speak with you and her During the fight she was dying and you made 'that' decision knowing the repercussion’s to ensue the council wont be thrilled to hear that you used you curse without permission but under the circumstances I feel they will understand you did it to keep her from dying as to gather information from her to better help us combat the Demons and there commanders right?" he says with a smirk I understood what he was doing and nodded in agreement "good then you can explain that to them so they understand the situation but to think that you of all people would be forced to use Zephyrs Flare that’s quite serious matter you are on par with a member of incarnum due to you special quality and you ability to use The Flames but you still lack the combat and reaction time to deal with a commander class of demon had it been anyone else like you they would have been slaughtered without fail and that would have been the end of it. to ensure that this never happens again Im ordering the You ,Felix, and elicia to begin your training along with her" he says gesturing at her "This training is going to break down to the core you and your teams capabilities and restructure them to where you all will be able to survive well not necessarily survive as more you all cannot die but more or less be able to all stand your own but we need to ensure that you all as a whole are able to collectively stand and defeat A vermillion class demon." he says calmly I stare at him as if in disbelief " A vermillion class sir I am in this position because I faced off against a commander class demon and was entirely out matched a vermillion class is out of our league for at least the next 15 years and that’s if we devoted everything in our lives to training for that whole time but you want us to be able to beat them in the next year how can you hope for us to be able to take on a vermillion class demon when it incurs casualties even when the entire incarnum team is required for one and there are 50 member’s in Incarnum and 4 to 5 of them are killed almost every time one appears but you expect us four to be able to eliminate one on our own that’s impossible sir." I say staring at him intently waiting for a response "Yes normally I would say that it would be impossible but you and your team are special especial with you ability and curse everyone of you team members is special and carry’s a power of there ancestors and what we know about her is yet to be revealed but she is now and Ester Like you and your team To appropriate the term better you all have a power that can be developed past that of an incarnum and even further beyond That of an ignium. most of all your power is the rarest but also the most dangerous if you for a moment let it consume you, you will become what is hated more then a demon although with what has happened you didn’t use it and my question is why?" he says puzzled " I didn’t use it because my goal wasn’t to beat the demon it was to protect the innocent and to ensure she survived I needed to make sure that I stayed level headed and didn’t go berserk and had I used that power I would have and there is a possibility that we all would have been killed because of it I needed to stay level headed and asses the situation and I succeeded in that the girls safe the demon fled but im still curious as to who killed the demons mount." I said questioningly " im sure you’ve guessed as well it was him 'Issac' he’s the only one who could have done so much damage in such a time as when you used zephyrs fire and the time it took for them to get there" Why was he there to begin with it doesn’t make any sense at all if he was there why didn’t he step in could it be he was watching to see how things turned out ..." for the first time since the headmaster arrived Elizabeth spoke " so why do I have to go with him and his team?" he looks at her and speaks "You were saved by this boys decision and to make sure he isn’t effected while he’s fighting I think it would be best for you to train as well and join them on the battle field you like them are an Ester and as such you now have a responsibility to ensure that he is not placed in a state where he is incapable of fighting in battle if something happens to you he will be rendered incapable of fighting and as such you need to become stronger and become capable of defending yourself as a whole if you are injured he feels the pain if your body is damaged and you are unable to fight he becomes hindered entirely in battle if your neck is broken he becomes incapacitated as well while you can become his greatest strength like his other team mates you are also his greatest weakness he knew this yet decided to make this decision to make you into an immortal like him so I ask are you willing to help the one who gave you immortality and the ability to keep fighting and live your life your way or are you going to hide and hinder his abilities I might also add if he chooses to die then everyone bound to him looses there immortality and is returned to the state they were in before they became an immortal so you would return to the state you were in during the fight with agares?" he says with a hopeful smile on his face " Yes I will fight not for his sake but for my own." she says coldly "very well then once you are healed and ready you will be sent to the Dreadnaught cave and be tasked with killing the demon that resides in there and if you can manage to do that then you will be able to stand your own against a vermillion class demon I trust you know what weapon you are capable of using" she looks at him and she chants slowly bringing forth Two wicked looking daggers with a black streak in the center of the blade she looks at him and says "yes I do know what my weapon of choice is" Hohoho It seems you really do have talent but might I ask where did you learn to do that to bring forth your weapon like that " she looks puzzled then reveals on her left arm what seems to be two circles with weird marks on the inside that glow brightly when she places the dagger to it and they vanish" its a simple storage spell that can be accessed quickly but instilling the circle and spell on ones body is incredibly painful and is almost unbearable but it can allow for you to store and withdrawal items quickly with a single chant it isn’t nothing special" she says looking at him " that’s quite a talent would you mind showing us how to apply it to someone it could prove useful for being able to carry information between places. "well you can tie two spaces together and once that’s been done you can retrieve the item from the other seal immediately it can also be used to store other things aside from weapons and messages it can also be used to store rations and medical supplies that can be used in the field but there is a issue no matter what you can never attempt to place a person in there they will be able to enter but they will die the space is not capable of sustaining life even for a split second even as an immortal like himself he would not be able to fight I do not believe I would rather refrain from trying it because it would leave me unconscious as well" she says in a manner you knew she was serious " why would you be unconscious if I did that?" I ask inquisitively "well did you not say the pain we feel and senses are connected so if I suffered you feel the pain as well so isn’t the same for you if you feel pain" she looks at me cautiously "No that wouldn’t happen the senses shared is completely one sided you don’t feel the pain only I would if you got hurt I would feel the pain its a curse mint for me and me alone I can make someone immortal but must bear the burden of there pain for the rest of eternity I am a progenitor of the esters but there are only four of you that have ever been created because the toll and stress it causes on my body I wont die from the stress but it severely dimishes my abilities to think and analyze the situation. only a handful of people are knowledgeable of the situation and I would like to keep it that way" I say calmly she looks at me and asks" alright but who are the other esters?" the headmaster waves his hand at the door gesturing two people forward it was elicia and felix but when did they come in. "these are your elder esters and I ask you two speaking to elicia and felix please welcome the newest member to your team. Elicia looks at me as if trying to kill me with a stare of blades and felix just sighs and speaks “well we cant change it now so we can only move forward extending his hand outward to offer a welcoming handshake to Elizabeth. I look at the headmaster and say "If this is what you want us to do fine but those circles I say pointing at Elizabeth’s arm each one of us needs those" I look at them all we will need those so when its being applied I will dull everyone’s sense while its being don but please don’t do anything dumb afterwards for a bit im going to have a headache for a while.
the headmaster looks towards Elizabeth and then asks her to write down the incantation and what’s needed for the storage space she writes down everything that is needed and he says "well I shall take my leave you have one week to recover before being seen into the cave so prepare and be ready well have the seals placed on your arms the day after tomorrow so be prepared."
