Wednesday

When I wake up I feel someone gently shaking my shoulders. I open my eyes and see Gaia. Before I can say anything she puts a finger over her mouth while making a shhh noise. I get up and follow her out of the room. I see that only Asami is missing from the bed, aside from us.

"Sorry for waking you up." Gaia says.

"It's fine, what time is it?" I ask her and she smiles.

"It's a few minutes after your alarm would've gone off. I saw the others were still sleeping and turned it off so it wouldn't wake them." She says and I thank her.

"Wait, why'd you wake me up a few minutes after my normal alarm time?" I ask her and she turns away. I notice her cheeks blushing and smile, already suspecting what the answer is.

"O-oh, well I saw you sleeping and lost track of time." She says, probably hoping I'll assume she got tired of watching me and almost joined me.

"Okay." I say in a teasing manner and she blushes deeper. "I'm going to go shower." I say before petting her. She flinches but makes no effort to move away. I do this for a few more seconds before leaving and entering the shower. I check my notifications while showering.

Level Up! You're now level 46! +10 Max MP and HP, +6 Skill Points.

I smile and think about my choice. I already have a Nature Essence. It's interesting that I can get Essences I already have. So that leaves me with Light or Dark Essence. What would be better? What would they add though? The Domain already has a day/night cycle so I doubt they'd add to that. They could make it day or night all the time. Would that be it? Hmm, let's go with the Dark Essence. I'd rather have it be night all time. Besides, if needed I could take it out and hang onto it until I get a Light Essence. I think before choosing Dark Essence as my reward. I Observe the Essence and items I got from the Dungeon.

Domain Essence: Dark, Legendary

This Essence will add the power and nature of Dark to your Domain. This can cause your Domain to become an eternal night or create cave systems among other things. Linked with Eric Steele.

Lesser Flame Essence(27), Common Alchemy Ingredient

This small burning ember is warm to the touch. It was taken from a Fire Elemental. It contains the powers of the Fire Elemental. This will cause it to increase a potion's mana recovery or damage slightly.

Fire Stone(10) Rare Crafting Material

These Stones were taken from a Fire Elemental. They contain the Elemental's resistance to fire. It can completely negate any fire damage if combined with other flame-resistant materials. It's for this matter that most use these in armor or shields.

Flame King Core, Legendary

This Magic Core was created, and kept, with a Flame King Elemental. It contains much of the Elemental's powers. Unlike most Cores, this one is completely made up of solely the Flame King's magic. It doesn't have any natural mana contained within. This will cause the magic boost given to whatever weapon or armor, to align to fire. This will make whatever it is inside only usable by those closely related to Flames.

Flame Kings Spellbook, Mythical

This Spellbook contains the magic of a Flame King, a Royal Elemental. The spells of this School are very powerful and destructive. Masters of this School are capable of burning creatures to ash in mere moments or causing explosions capable of leveling buildings. Requirements: Only a Spirit or Elemental with a similar nature to the Flame King may read this.

I smile as I finish showering. I step off and dry myself before taking the book out and reading it. As soon as I open the cover my head throbs with pain. It feels like someone just stabbed a knife into my head. I drop the book and the pain vanishes, like it was never there to begin with. I store the book away and get dressed. What was that pain? Was it the book? Yeah, I think it was. The requirements said only a Spirit or Elemental could read it. But my Mythos side let's me read and learn Schools that humans can't. I even learned magic that only Hydras could! So it has to be the Nature then. I must not have a similar Nature to the Flame King. So I guess my Mythos side only lets me bypass the race, or species, requirements. But not any others. Just to be sure I'll ask Prisma the next time I see him. I think before entering my Domain. I eat breakfast and leave for school. Before leaving Myla texts me asking to meet on the roof for lunch. I respond saying I'll be there before hopping on my bike.
