Elemental Summoner 1 by D. Levesque (best beach reads of all time TXT) 📕

I am the one that controls the flow of your healing power, all I did was reverse the flow. It looks like when you open one of your energy balls, it causes some mild damage. But what’s odd is, the energy from that ball-”

“Is it just called a ball?” I ask, interrupting her. “Can we call it a Chakra at least? At least then I will know what you are talking about?”

“Well,” she says, frowning. She puts her soft hand back on my forehead and suddenly I get a message in my head.

You have broken through your first of seven Chakras.

“Oh! I got a message that said it was now called a Chakra!” I tell her with a grin. “Now, you were saying something odd about my energy from my Chakra?”

Bridget nods, sitting back on her heels. “Yes. The energy is somehow slowly seeping into your body.”

“What?” I ask her worriedly. “Is that bad?”

“Is Alex going to be all right?” Leeha asks Bridget, sounding just as worried as me.

“He should be. What I mean is that the energy that is seeping into him is changing him, on a level I cannot see.”

“On a genetic level?” I say, but the word comes out in English.

“What’s that?” Bridget asks me curiously.

“So, wow. Where do I start? So, we are all made of smaller parts of us. So small that we cannot see them, but trust me, they are there,” I say as everyone starts to look at me oddly.

“So, an example is your blood. In your blood are small things that keep you alive. Well, they are alive as much as you and me. God,” I say, laughing out loud at the faces they are making towards me. “Trust me. On my world, we have seen them. We know about them. So what you are saying, Bridget, is it’s changing me on a level you cannot see? I would say it’s on that level. The genetic level.”

Bridget looks at me suspiciously, as if I am lying. “It’s true!” I tell her with a grin.

“Anyhow,” she says, continuing on but still looking at me like I am bullshitting her, “the Chakras, as they are now called, are leeching energy into your body, so I’m not sure of the changes that will cause.”

Shit, well let’s hope it’s not radiation poisoning or something like that. But I doubt God would do that to me. Oh, here Alex, have a new life, and you can heal other people. But you will die from radiation poisoning.

“Can we try to wake up my brother?” Leeha asks me, concern for her brother in her tone.

“Of course,” I tell her reassuringly.

Since I am already sitting down next to him, I put my hand over him and say, “Mind. Wake up.”

Marken had been lying on his side, but suddenly he groans, not in pain, but more like someone who is getting up from a deep sleep and is about to stretch. He opens his eyes and the first thing he sees is me sitting next to him, with Bridget still sitting on her heels in front of me.

Without moving, he says, “Hi?”

“Hey. How are you feeling?” I ask him with a smile.

“Good,” he says, skeptically. But then his eyes open wide and he sits up quickly, bringing his hand up to his face. On seeing that it’s not blistered and red, and realizing that he is not in pain, he looks shocked. He looks back at me and says, “How? What I remember is being in so much pain because of my hand. How is it gone?”

Leeha is the one who answers. “You can thank Alex for that, you idiot,” she says, but there is a grin on her face. “Not only did he give you magic, but he also healed you as well.”

“I caused the pain in the first place,” I say, glancing up at her.

“But that is because you didn’t know,” she responds.

“Magic!” Marken cries, getting up on his knees and looking at his now uninjured hand. He looks at me, and so I nod at him to go ahead and try. He takes a deep breath and then says, “Fire,” and in his hand appears a rotating globe of Fire—a Fire Elemental.

Marken begins to cry as he looks at his Fire Elemental. Leeha puts a hand on my shoulder, and as I look up at her, she nods towards the exit. Understanding that right now might be a good time to go outside, I nod. Standing up, I take Bridget’s hand and help her up as well. I nod to Maxil, who is standing over Lahana, who had gone to comfort her new mage son. Maxil nods back and mouths, “Thank you.”

Once we three are outside, Leeha walks over to me, puts her arms around my waist, and looks up at me. “Thank you for what you did to Marken,” she says with tears in her eyes. “And you as well, Bridget,” Leeha says, putting a hand out to her. Bridget willingly comes into the three-way embrace, putting one of her arms around my other side, and looking up at me with a grin.

“So, what now?” I ask the two girls, looking between them.

“I don’t know. What did you want to do? I am with you, wherever you want to go,” Leeha says.

“Honestly, I have no clue,” I tell her with a laugh. “I am new to this world, remember? I have no clue what is around here. I do know that I want to stay out of any human settlements,” I tell them vehemently. I seriously do not want to go to another town if they are going to treat Leeha like that again, or even Bridget now.

“Well, we can explore your power,” Bridget pipes up.

“What do you mean?” I ask her.

“We can go hunting!” she says, jumping up and down in my arms, which makes her breasts jump up and down as well, causing me to look down with a smile.

“And I know the perfect spot!”
