Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Novel

"The Spirit World is everywhere."

Flamey spoke, her red eyes shined with strange radiance.

"Everywhere…?"

Vaan couldn't understand.

Flamey nodded, Vaan then pointed in a random direction and, "Even here?"

He questioned.

Flamey nodded again and Vaan couldn't help but frown.

"Can humans not see it?"

He still couldn't understand what Flamey was talking about.

Elara, on the other hand, could guess the rough idea,

"I think she means that the Spirit World is everywhere, it is no different than our world, just that only the Spirits can access it,

Like a different dimension."

"Yes."

Flamey pointed at Elara and nodded with a big smile on her face.

"A world no one else could access…" Vaan muttered.

"Vaan can."

Elara pointed out.

"What…?"

"Vaan can access… the Spirit World…"

Both Vaan and Elara glanced at each other and frowned.

"Elara cannot see the Spirit World… cannot see us before…

Vaan can see the Spirit World."

Flamey tried to explain, Vaan narrowed his eyes, trying to make out what the little spirit just said,

"Elara couldn't see you before because she cannot see the Spirit World but I could because I could see the Spirit World."

"Yes."

Flamey nodded.

"Then how can she see you now?" Vaan questioned.

Flamey however, shook her head,

"…don't know."

"Does that mean that I can now see the Spirit world?"

Elara questioned, Flamey however, shook her head again,

"…don't know."

Elara and Vaan turned silent.

It was clear that whatever they were receiving wasn't enough to satiate their curiosity, and Flamey who could realize it seemed sad and lowered her head.

"It is not your fault, Flamey. Rather, you are the one who is answering all our questions, you are doing your best and we are grateful for that." Vaan spoke as he patted his Flamey's head.

Feeling left out, Splashy and Breazy flew towards Elara and sat on her shoulders as well.

"Best!"

"Best…"

The two of them cheered their eldest sister as well.

The little Flamey smiled.

"But why only me…?" Suddenly, Vaan questioned.

He couldn't understand how he was different than others. Could it be related to the fact that he wasn't originally from this world?

'No, the previous Vaan could see Flamey as well…' Vaan shook his head.

"…don't know."

Flamey shook her head again.

Elara patted her head, cheering her up.

Vaan turned silent. This time, Elara didn't have an answer either.

Seeing that the little girl was feeling sad, Vaan decided to change the topic and move towards other topics, topics the little spirit might have the answers to. As for the questions that were troubling him…

Well, since even Flamey didn't know the answers, there was nothing else he could do but keep them on the side of their mind and find the answers on his own later.

For now, he simply proceeded to the next question that came to his mind,

"Are there any other Spirits in the Spirit World? And since I can access the Spirit World, can I see those Spirits?"

Again, the little Flamey shook her head, this time, however, she had a definite answer,

"No one else… only the three of us…"

Vaan and Elara's expressions changed. Flamey had a sad look on her face as well. If asked, she would definitely prefer staying in the Past Era where she could find more people like her and wouldn't have to spend her time alone like she did before.

Of course, that is only if Vaan, her sisters, and Elara were together with her, even though she wanted to live with other Spirits, she couldn't live without the people around her.

Elara was quick to kiss Flamey's head to cheer her up, Flamey closed her eyes with a bright smile on her face.

"Alright, let's move to another question,

How did you suddenly disappear? If you went to the Spirit World, I should have seen you, no?"

"Taken away," Flamey answered.

"Who took you away?" Vaan questioned.

He had a rough guess in his mind that it was the one who protected him and talked to him, but he still knew nothing about the voice itself, he assumed that Flamey was different and knew more than him.

And his assumption was correct,

"The Queen."

Flamey answered.

"The Queen?"

"The Queen of all Spirits. She was kind."

"Is she also the one who saved me?" Vaan questioned and once again, Flamey nodded.

"How did she do it?" Vaan asked another question.

"The Fire was created from her blessing."

"What…?"

Suddenly, both Vaan and Elara blinked in surprise as they glanced at each other.

"But wasn't Lady Veronica praying to the God of Magic…?" Elara pointed out.

"How could the Spirit Queen bless her…?"

Elara however, shook her head again and,

"No God…

Only the Queen of Spirits."

"What…?"

Vaan and Elara's mouths were agape.

"Elder Spirits and the Spirit Queens blessed mages.

God of Magic does not exist…"

The little Spirit revealed and it was as if Vaan and Elara's world had turned around.

Vaan still couldn't believe what he was hearing, Elara, on the other hand, came up with an entirely different theory.

"We went to the Era where the God of Magic blessed its believers, an Era where thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Spirits existed.

Now, however, the Spirits doesn't exist and for some reason, the God of Magic doesn't bless his believers anymore.

What if…

The God of Magic was never a singular entity?

Has anyone ever seen what God looks like? What if rather than being a singular entity, the God of Magic was… or were… the Spirits who have now ceased to exist…

If what Flamey said is correct and the Spirits were the ones who listened to the believers' prayers and blessed them…

Then…

Doesn't that mean the Spirits were the God of Magic?"

"Spirits… were god of Magic…?"

Vaan blinked in surprise as he glanced at the little Spirits standing in front of him with innocent looks on their faces.

Knowing what Vaan was thinking, Elara shook her head,

"Don't jump to conclusions. The three of them are indeed Spirits but that doesn't mean they are the manifestation of the God of Magic, they cannot bless other Mages."

Elara spoke but suddenly,

"I can!"

Flamey raised her hand with an excited look on her face.

"What…?"

Vaan blinked in surprise.

This was the first time he was hearing something like that. If the little girl could do it, then why didn't she tell him?

And as if the little spirit could sense what he was thinking,

"The Queen taught me!"

She explained herself.

"She taught you how to bless believers…?"

Elara questioned.

Flamey nodded,

"Not just that, she taught us many things!"

"What else did she teach you?" Elara questioned.

Flamey however, lowered her head in embarrassment and scratched her head,

"I am still trying to understand…"

"What?"

"She taught me…

I haven't understood…"

"So you are still trying to understand what she taught you and once you do understand…"

"I will be stronger!

Right now, I only know how to Bless… but I will work hard and learn more things!"

Flamey spoke as she patted her little biceps.

"It all makes sense now…"

Suddenly, Vaan muttered out loud.

Elara turned towards him and he continued,

"The Advanced Circles, the Instant Spells that she improvises, leaving away thousands of years of knowledge to the dust with ease, her monstrously strong knowledge related to Spells and Magic is general…

It all makes sense now…"

Both Vaan and Elara glanced at each other and gulped.

'We are talking with the God of Magic…'

Both of them had reached the same conclusion.

A conclusion so groundbreaking that if any other mage heard about it, he or she would simply fall on his knees and kowtow in front of the little girls who were flying in the sky.

This news could break the entirety of Agresia and completely turn around the worldly matters as they are known to be.

The God of Magic was back… and it had returned in these… little forms that only two Basic Mages could see…

"We can revive the Tower of Magic…"

Suddenly, Elara spoke up.

"The Tower of Magic…" Vaan muttered.

A force that once rivaled the Church of Light… A force strong enough that the likes of the Dawncrest Family and even the Vaan Family wouldn't even enter their eyes…

The two of them now were looking at the soul of such power.

"Vaan…" Elara muttered as she glanced at Vaan.

Vaan was speechless as well.

All of this was a little too much for him to digest.

He couldn't believe that the little girls he was feeding and playing with all this time were… manifestations of who was once one of the Strongest Gods in the world…

"Vaan? Elara?"

Seeing the strange looks on their faces, Flamey tilted her head in confusion. She wasn't alone, Splashy and Breazy seemed confused as well.

"Flamey…"

Vaan called out.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

"Vaan?" Flamey called again as she flew towards Vaan with a frown on her face, not liking the way he was looking at her.
