"Uwaah! So you made potions that healed people, Auntie Faylen?" Asked Aquarina.

"That's pretty amazing, I guess magic can't resolve everything in the long run…" Said Zack.

"Back then I wasn't as strong with my magic as I am now… The power I have acquired has been after hundreds of years of training and gathering power. Unlike my husband or Aquarina's parents, I had a very slow growth that took me many years. Although when I was chosen as a Hero, I was already stronger than every other young hero, they quickly caught up to me in various regards… And are equal if not surpass me in their own specializations." Said my mother.

"I see… But I think you're more awesome, mom, you worked very hard to get your power…" I said. "And the dedication you put into making these medicines and everything else… You're really a fitting queen…"

"Q-Queen?! Me?" She asked while blushing a bit, my mother was so cute when she blushed. "I cannot become a Queen… My father has yet to move out of the throne, and my mother doesn't want to either, it is a bit iffy in the elf kingdom… Because we live so much and with magic we can even prolong our lives even more, it is every thousands of years that a new pair of governors appear, and that is not going to be, I am a young sister compared to my older brothers, who all are more talented and fitting for it."

"Oh… But have they helped the citizens like you've done?" I wondered.

"…I don't think so." She said. "Well, they must have in some way or another! A-Anyways, we shouldn't go into that topic, I don't like to talk badly about my siblings."

"Oh, sorry about that…" I sighed.

"Well, as I said, I have been researching a lot about magic since I was young. I started in the magic academy at the age of 10 after all, and I spent hundreds of years there, hahaha!" Laughed my mother, a bit of insanity was within that laugh, I guess nobody that lives so long studying something would remain completely sane.

"I guess that's why you're so good at magic, auntie Faylen?" Asked Aquarina.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "I suppose, I studied so much that I memorized almost every magic formula I could ever learn from the libraries of the elves… But still, there are better teachers than me, there is just people capable of teaching better than others, it is not something that I can surpass with just experience at the end, they are better at handling children, at understanding how they feel and how they should conjure their own magic, and more…" Sighed my mother.

"Mommy you're already amazing! You and dad taught me a lot of spells…" I said. "I think you're just putting yourself a bit too below these other people, you're already someone that saved the world! Right? So cheer up!"

"S-Sylphy…" My mother sighed, while feeling flattered once more, she smiled warmly and approached me, hugging me tightly and kissing my face several times.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Aww, my little girl, you're so sweet with mommy!" She said. "You really know how to cheer me up, don't you? Mooch!" My mother began to kiss my face happily, as she looked at me with her eyes that shone with bright emerald light.

"Listen to me, Sylphy, I don't really care about recognition for the things I have done… I don't really care about standing out either…" She said. "I've only cared about Allan, my friends, and you, my greatest treasure. As long as you're here with mommy, I can be happy and fulfilled… You'll accompany me through my long life, right? Even after… even after everyone… Everyone… Ah, don't mind it."

"Huh? S-Sure… Of course I will… I wonder how long does Hald-elves live though…" I said.

"I am a Pure-Blood from the Royal Family, my father is a man with an incredibly pure blood and my mother is also incredibly pure-blooded as a fairy, therefore, the two lifespans combine and grant us… I think it is too much to imagine it." She sighed. "As you inherited such powerful bloodline, it is as if you were almost pure-blooded even if you're an half-elf. I believe you'll live longer than everybody in the Elf Family."

"T-That long?!" I asked.

"Yep, Allan is a human but his human tribe is also quite long lived for humans…" She said.

"Oooh! I see…" I said. "As long as I got you, my daddy, and everybody else, I am also happy, mom, so don't worry! I haven't even planned about leaving the nest yet either, I am still too little."

"Fufu, I am frightened by how self-aware you are of your own age, dear, you're really quite mature for your age, but that's not so uncommon from elven children…" She said. "At the age of 3 I was already reading books and knew how to speak rather fluidly."

"So mommy was also a talented girl when she was small?" I asked.

"Yep, but I wouldn't say I was that talented, it was normal for elf children." She said. "But it is more impressive when you do things because you're half humans, and this is definitely not normal for human children… Your father used to freak out a bit when you were so responsive to questions and interacted with us even when you couldn't talk yet… But I convinced him that it was a norm for elf children to showcase high levels of intellect at a young age. And of course, also a big reason in why our babies are not so loud nor they cry so much like humans or other races do…"

"W-Was Sylphy that amazing back then?!" Asked Zack. "I am pretty sure that I only learned how to talk not as early as her... Damn, I was always so slow?" He wondered.

"Zack you spent like almost all your first years of life inside the jungles, give yourself a slack, you're still a growing child." Said my mother, petting the boy.
