5 White and Black flowers Ethon's story
After Aegiri left, Ethon returned to watch the flowers from the garden. All of those flowers were beautiful, but the feeling with them was an alarming dangerous aura. They had different effects, and the effects were not good for people with elemental magic. Ethon was not affected by them for some reason Salgot and he knew: Ethon didn't have any elemental magic or power to be affected.
Salgot was watching how Ethon took care of the flowers with an unbelievable care and delicacy to be as cold and serious as he was normally with people. He didn't like to people to get near him so he usually avoid them when they got lost in the Spirit Forest. Ethon like to be with the spirits of the forest, they made him be relaxe and happy. He remembered when the spirits got worry about something happening in the forest, and an earth spirit left him during a hunting. When he returned to the house, he realized that the reason of the change in the sipirits was the presence of Aegiri and her 'fifth' power. After thinking about that fifth power, Ethon knew what was in reality. In his previous life, he was a witness of that strange power, it was something unrealistic even for the kind of world that Parven was.
Ethon didn't want to have a relationship with someone, because he always lost everything what it is important to him. After he met Aegiri and she left, he realized that he would miss her after a year she came to his house. She was the first person that didn't feel fear to be near him. While he was looking at the flowers, Salgot went out to the garden "Ethon, why did you give her those flowers?" Salgot asked him with a childish voice, like he was playing with Ethon "I don't know , I just think that it was the best for her and she wanted to take one with her to the academy" Salgot smiled with calm because Ethon didn't look at him while saying those words.
Ethon got inside the house to continue his studies, he needed to control his magic and make it useful for his living day. Salgot observed him "I think it was a good idea to make Aegiri enter the forest, even if elder Esti got mad" he looked at the white and black flowers, he felt nostalgic.
Seven years ago.
Salgot was at the Great Royal Academy. At the age of twenty-seven he won the title of elder. He was a genius that achieve that title before the forties, he was the third person who accomplished the requirements to become an elder in a young age. During a time he taught the specially to tame beast spirits, his students respected him because of his abilities. One day, a man appeared. He had injuries in all his body "Please someone help me! Someone help me to save my wife! She is innocent!" Salgot was having a class when he heard the loud voice of a man "The class finished" he went where the man was kneeling covering his face full of tears with his hands. "Where is your wife?" the man heard an amiable voice, he raise his sight and saw Salgot "She is in Aster village, they want to kill her, please help her!" Salgot quickly departed where the man told him.
The Aster village was near Jadee city, but for some reason Salgot felt like it was getting far, it felt like something didn't want to Salgot arrive at the village. During his way, he saw that the sky was getting darker and darker but it was still morning. Finally he arrived to Aster village, but there was a strange feeling around the village. Salgot got a defensive position and conjured a water spirit wolf. He entered the village. The first thing he notice was the silent that reigned the village, he thought that it would be a chaos because of the intend of killing the woman. The village was empty. There was any single villager and animal, like if everything disappear from the village. While he was walking, he finally heard a living signal: someone was crying, it sounded like a baby. He quickly went to the origin of the cries, but something stopped him: white and black flowers. He was not an expert in plants but he knew that those flowers were dangerous for him. He remembered a book that he read about herbs and flowers, where he found those flowers said that they were legendary flowers that started to grow when the lord of darkness and light died. The effects of those flowers was bad for people with elemental magic but in the other hand, when they are purified they have excellent effects for the elemental magic. With knowledge, Salgot got difficult to find a solution to get near where the crying baby was. Looking around he found a path between the flowers, like someone passed many times. He used that route and at the end of the path he saw a woman with blond hair
laying in those flowers with a baby in her arms. The baby was crying. Salgot got near the woman "Please, take care of him. His name is Ethon, he is innocent" Salgot was took for surprise when the woman suddenly opened her eyes that reflected a sadness "He is different from the others, some people might want to use him and others might kill him, but it was not his fault what happened to the village and the villagers" Salgot noticed that the origin of the flowers was from the human bodies, and the bodies were of the villagers "I would like to see Ethon grow, and I know that you will take care of him. Thanks elder Salgot…" the babies cried louder. His mother died with a tear of happiness in her eyes and with a relaxed smile. Salgot took the crying baby in his arms and the baby stopped crying and laugh with joy when he saw Salgot's face. Salgot smiled "Now I know who is he, I should leave my job to be far the royal family" with his water spirit wolf and the baby, he returned to the Great Royal Academy. He looked back to watch the darkness that was surrounding the village, but after he left the darkness disappear.
When he arrived the guards told him that the man died and after that, strange white and black flowers grew in his body. Salgot was worry and thought "Better I don't tell anything about the baby" he looked at the guards "I need to talk with the rector urgently. Thanks for the advertising" Salgot hurry to the rector's office. When he entered he saw a thoughtful middle-age man "Elder Desf, I'm going to leave the school, here is my Here is my letter of resignation from employment" The rector got surprise "Why are you leaving such great job Salgot?" "Sorry elder, but I make a promise to someone, and the word of man is everything for them, no matter what happens. I'll take my leave" Salgot went out and the elder Desf reach a look to a baby in Salgot's arms "Guards! Stop that man immediately!" When Salgot heard that order, he started to run. He was already in Jadee's downtown when two people stopped him "Master, you should stop this attitude, please return and give that baby to elder Desf" they were his students, Salgot looked at the baby and the baby was sleeping in peace "Sorry my fellows, but from now on, no one will know where I am", after saying that, Salgot make a movement with his hand and he disappear. The academy was in chaos, the family royal too: the lord of darkness and light was born again. Salgot appeared in a distant village named Dendelion, where he met Esti "You are elder Esti, aren't you?" Salgot was tired "I heard the news from a friend about what happened in the Great Royal Academy, you must be elder Salgot and that baby the reincarnation of the lord of darkness and light" Salgot didn't know why, but he knew he can trust elder Esti.
"In this village we can't have this child, but inside the Spirit Forest, is a house and you are a spirit tamer. I assume you can take care of both" Salgot got happy "Thanks elder Esti, I will take care of this child to make him a good man" Salgot entered the forest and found everything like elder Esti told him. He raise the child and when the child was one year old, the white and black flowers started to grow in the house's garden but for some reason they didn't harm Salgot.
Present day.
"Salgot" "…" "Salgot!" "…" someone was calling him "SALGOT!" Salgot opened his eyes and saw a worry Ethon "Ethon! Wha happened?" Ethon looked at him with open eyes "You are touching the flowers, are you okey?" Salgot looked at his hands and he smiled "Don't worry Ethon, I just remember something" Ethon didn't know exactly the origin of these flowers, but he knew the effects. He felt like the flowers were taking care of Salgot and him. Suddenly he felt something was happening, something bad. But then he felt calm.
He didn't notice that now the flowers were taking care of another person.
The flowers are a mistery. No one know what are they, and anyone want to investigate them. It is said that in some areas of Parvend those flowers grow, and in those zones the peace for the spirits remained. No human has the guts to enter because the civilians of Parvend believe that those flowers were the spirit of the lord and where those flowers grow, it means that the lord owns those lands. No one knew the truth of those flowers. Some people who saw those legendary flowers said that they take animal forms, seen like shadows and like flash lights.
