After about four months have passed. I've gotten better at walking, as well as speaking. My throat muscles have gotten better.
I usually walk around the place with clothes that drape over my body and hang for over my legs.
Marcilene never leaves the house, so she has always been the one to be my guardian. As well as the one to teach me about how the world is.
Usually when Marcilene and I are left alone we play around in the house and just laugh a lot.
Just as we are now. Both Marcilene and I are playing hide and seek:
"I'm gonna find you..."
I've been hiding beside the couch for a while now, and she's been looking for me for that same duration of time.
My hands were over my mouth as if to try and stop my breathing from being heard.
Marcilene isn't particularly the best nor the worst at hide and seek, as she knows the house better than I do.
"Where did you go Lazi..?"
Her voice was whispered and prolonged to make me feel scared as her voice slowly crept closer to me.
She was in the living room, I was hidden beside the couch, just out of the vision of everything in the house.
One second went by. Another sceond went by, lastly another.
"I'll go look in the kitchen."
As I unclamped my mouth with my hands.
From above the couch was a hand that grabbed me quick and:
"BOO!"
Marcilene scared me.
Making me hop off the ground a little:
"Ahh!"
She laughed as she rolled onto the couch and out of my vision.
I stand up from beside the couch and look at her with an unsatisfied look.
"How did you find me?"
She just continued to laugh at me, her orange aura following her like a hazy smoke.
She was twisting and turning on the couch as she laughed at me. The tips of her ears beginning to turn red just as her face was.
"Yuh-- YOu.. Oh I can't breathe. You thought I lost you. Then..."
She takes a deep breathe and sits up as she looks at me again. Her red face turning back to it's original white skin tone:
"...Then you got scared and jumped off the ground like a Jumping Hare."
Her laugh slowly died down as she saw me again.
"How'd you find me?"
"I saw the shirt coming out from behind the couch."
"WHAT!?"
She covered her ears, then removed her hands.
"That's not fair!"
Her smile stuck on her face, just as she tilted her head:
"You can hide again. I like seeking, it seems pretty fun."
I frowned a second then smiled as she said that.
"Okay. Close your eyes and don't open them until I say go."
She lets out a short laugh then covered her eyes with her hands. Blocking out the light from getting into them as she does so, a spike of aura.
I tiptoe around the side of the couch as I get to the front side of it and tiptoe beside her hands I see a gap:
"Cover your face good, Cheater!"
She laughed and blocked the gap in her face:
"Go, before I change my mind on counting again."
I walk fast as I pass her, still on my toes. I look around downstairs, but I don't find any good spots downstairs, so I go upstairs. Following the hallway until I go into Steel's room and close the door behind me.
I look around the room I'm in and see the bed, slightly off the ground. A nightstand on one side of the bed, with an unlit candle on it, and on the other side of the bed is a chest that Steel has.
I go closer to the edge of the bed and see that the underside has no cover whatsoever, so I go over to the chest and open it, to find four different books.
One of the books is the same one he showed me a long time ago to pour water in a tub for me to bathe in. He never really showed the book that much after.
I pull out the four books and drop them on the floor, they are pretty heavy, so I try to drop them slowly to not alert Marcilene.
Opening one of the first books I see that it's words are pretty understandable, the rest isn't very easy to read though. It seems it has mixed in english along side of it's other language here.
I read through it slowly.
"Heavenly...da da da... Bless water through my soul and blast.. da da da"
As I say those words I see a blue light form in front of me, I turn my head forward and the light seems to get bigger and it stay there for a while, before the blue light disappears from my vision.
"What was that?"
BOOM!
The door slams open, probably to scare me again, and it does.
I hop up to my feet and try to hide the book behind my legs as I stand and look at the one that entered the room, Marcilene.
"Found..!"
She tilts her head to the big open book behind my small childish legs.
'Screw you toddler body!'
I look down at my feet as I think the thought.
"Oh were you reading the Soul Book."
She moves closer to me and I'm still somewhat blocking the vision of the book from her:
"Which one?"
I move out of the way and point to the book:
"It was the one with water."
Marcilene smiles.
"Did you read it?"
"Some, but I wasn't able to understand all of it so I just read what I could."
"What happened when you did that?"
"I saw a blue ball in front of me. And nothing else."
She squinted her eyes:
"You saw a blue ball? When you said the spell? Did you finish it?"
"Finish what?"
"The spell."
I shook my head.
"I wasn't able to understand it so I just said a few words."
She tilted her head as she got closer.
"How did you see something then?"
"I... I think it might be my eye."
Marcilene drops down to my level and looks into my eye.
"Your Inherited Soul Magic?"
I nod.
"But, I'm not fully sure..."
I paused. My memory flashes to the two times with magic that involved him being able to see it
"Actually there was two other times."
Marcilene tilted her head as she continued to look into my eye.
"What happened those two other times?"
"When I saw magic the first time and then when Doctor Tamara first came to give me a check up."
"What'd you see?"
Marcilene got up and looked down to me.
"She used her magic to look at me and all I saw was a purple color cover her hand and move around me."
Marcilene looked stunned.
"The other time. Steel..."
"DAD."
She interrupts me.
I ignore her.
"... he used the magic to drop in water for the tub and when I was in your hands I saw the Soul Magic move through his body, out of his hands and then it just completely made water appear."
Marcilene squealed.
I covered my ears.
"What happened?!"
She grabs me by my armpits and lifts me.
'She's so strong for such a small girl.'
Even though I'm smaller than her.
"We, now know what your Inherited Soul Magic is!"
I continue to have my hands over my ears.
"Okay. Okay!"
She squeals and pulls me into a hug:
"Your now an even cooler brother."
'I wasn't cool before?!'
She jumps with me in her arms.
"Marcilene... Marcilene... Your too loud."
She pulls herself off of me and looks me with a saddened look.
"But I wanna celebrate it with you..?"
'I can't believe I'm being manipulated by a seven year old into doing this...'
"You can keep doing it."
She smiles then repeats her old decision.
She pulls me into a hug and it's tight, Marcilene then begins to jump up and down. Her orange aura following her from the best I can see.
My stomach starts to rumble as she continues jumping, and my throat feels like it's being filled up, from my stomach.
'She's going to keep me in danger like this...'
