Chapter 647 Silver Taigriel
[Eon's POV: ]
In the distance I could see. A creature so attractive that it was shining like a star in the earl,y morning.
It's body, covered with feathers that were made of silver, original silver that the people adored themselves with.
Feathers so big that they could be used as ornaments these vest, wings so large that they seemed to cover half of a small cloud in the vast blue sky, it's green eyes looking straight at me as I looked back at it with my bluer ones, and, there was smile on his face, a smile that I had remembered from our last meeting.
'He is the same as the last time I saw him. Attractive, shiny, egoistic, and cool. She sure has a nice familiar.'
Mom doesn't know about the truth of Miss Sarah, and it was a secret that she, Rein and I had promised to keep only to ourselves.
'To mom, Miss Sarah was nothing more than a special friend that she could never part ways from. And, even though she loves her, Miss Sarah is happy just watching her from the sidelines even though it is much more painful for her to do so.'
Miss Sarah and the two of us have a secret between us, and that secret extends to keeping the existance of this specific creature a secret as well.
"Alright everyone! Jade is here! I request you all to close your eyes for a moment if you don't want to-"
"I think it's too late sir."
"Kwyaiiiiiiiiiiiii~!"
He increased his speed when he was in the range of this place and in a moment of seconds, reappeared right above all of us, creating a gust of wind, and reflecting all the light of they sun towers the place we werre standing with its shiny body, blinding everyone present for a brief moment.
There were loud screams all around us for a moment and the students were stunned for a brief moment as well, however, after hearing that strong voice and feeling that strong gust of wind, they all came back to their senses, and, when they all opened their eyes, a special creature, something that resembled an eagle, but, had four legs like that of a tiger.
And, it wasn't something like a griffin, but, simply a mix of a tiger's underbody and an eagle's upper body.
It had wings large enough to cover some of the trees present in the garden,. It was so tall that it was half the height of some of the taller trees, it's green eyes were like a big round mirror that reflected their reflections in a unique manner, and, whenever it blinked with its silver eyelids, the shine it reflected back to the people under it was something unique all in itsel;f since this special reflection was unique from the prtrvious blinding reflections.
This was more like a warm reflection f a gentle light that was intentionally given out to someone.
It was special, but that wasn't all there was to this special being.
It's body, feathers, other body parts, even the smaller feathers, all of the things about this creature was silver.
It was made of original silver, the metal that was valued highly in the human socity.
The eyes it had seemed to be jewles as well, but when looked closely, one could catch on that the green part was the ouster surface of the eyes, the inner surface of the eyes were, once again, made of silver.
'A being purely made of metal, something that makes its body heavy to lift and still allowed him the ability to fly higher than the clouds themselves, granting it enough strength to reach this sky isn't on its own.'
When i met him the first time last year, I knew practically nothing about him, how he was one of the special origin beasts from a lesser known kind, or how there were even more specialities to this creatuyre that what met to one's eyes.
This was a unique being, and, the most amazing aspect that I found during our first meeting about this being…
[ "Hello Elkin. I see you have been doing well…" ]
He was looking at me while saying that in his Mana voice. Yes, he was saying those words. Himself. To us. To uncle El.
'He's one of the rare few highly intelligent creature that had the ability to converse with the other creatures. And, he was even more special since he himself had learned many special languages to support his speaking abilities.'
"Wow… that bird just talked!"
"Is that bird though? It looks like a golem."
"It has legs with a tiger like stipe… so I think it's an animal rather than a bird?"
"No, I think it;'s a bird. Did you even see how high it flew?"
"Just to reach this sky island, a creature would have to fly for hours if they don't have the special abilities like the speed boosting abilities of the magic ships. It is impossible without that, so, it has to be a bird to be able to do that!"
"It's a beast!"
"Shut up bastard. Just listen to what the teacher has to say before asrguying!"
"Yes, and do not curse in a class setting. We are out but we are still attending a lecture. Mind your language."
"Okay pkay everyone! Please calm down!"
Uncle El shouted with a megaphone that amplified his voice several times and made it possible for his voice to reach even to ther places that were faraway. Place like the other aside of the garden where the small creatures were doing their daily chores.
However, thanks to his loud voice, the creatures had to pause for a moment and look around for the source of that strange loud noise.
It was too loud actually, we didn't need that much on this early morning so, realizing his mistake, he corrected the settings of the megaphone and spoke up once again.
"Everyone, this is Jade, a special friend of mine and someone I practically owe my life to.
I was once lost in the (Woods of Jumilimp), and I would have died there if I hadn't met him in a crucial moment.
He was kind enough to give me shelter and show me the safe way out, and if that wasn't enough, he even became my friend, and, promised to meet me every once in a while.
I was eleven years old when we first met, and even after three decades, we meet each other, at least once every year.
This year was good so this is the third time we are meeting personally but the previous year wasn't as good since the only time we were able to meet was during a time I was busy with something else.
Well, that aside, he is a origin beats, something called (Silver Taigriel) and as you all can see, he is quite intelligent.
I owe all my passion of magic engineering to him, to his teaching that nothing is useless, and that even the simple twig on the ground could be used to make the deadliest weapon that could destroy anything, or, the greatest potion that could bring back even the lost ones.
He is an amazing person, my guardian, and, my greatest friend."
[ "Hahaha. I have said it many times and I will say it again Elkin, don't praise me so much. The only thing I ever did was helping a little boy that was crying, a little boy that was covered in wounds all over his body, all over his heart, and little creature I first only thought as an amusing toy.
Your intelligence and sharpness, the weird way to interpret things, the way you see the world makes all the difference.
It turned a curious creature like me, into a friend that in your eyes, and for me…" ]
He looked around the garden and then straight into my eyes for a moment, then into the eyes of Rein, then at Carla and Alf, and, then the other students present in this place.
[ "A young boy I helped out of curiosity, turned out to be a man that the world p[rises for his creations, a father that his child respects, an uncle that his nephews and neaces look up to, and, a teacher that has earned an eternal respect of many students who will be the future of this world.
What I did was momentary, however, perhaps the fruits born from my curious actions will remain in this world even after I am gone." ]
"And you aren't going anywhere anytime soon, right?"
Uncle El smiled at him warmly, and, with a look of happiness in his green eyes, he lightly bowed his head as well.
[ "Not until I see the end of this world with you, friend." ]
There was something in his eyes that I recoganized very clearly, and something similar was present in the eyes of uncle El…
'When I first saw him here, I thought he was with uncle El because Miss Sarah, but, now that i have seen that look that special look of brotherhood that transcends simple friendship, I know I was wrong with my judgement.'
I thought he was with him because of Miss Sarah, but, in truth, the story seems to be a little different from that.
'It wasn't that he was Uncle El's friend because Miss Sarah asked him to be, but, perhaps, the reason he was Miss Sarah's familiar, was exactly because he was Uncle El's friend.'
I misjudged her for a moment. I misjudged the two of them as well.
I shouldn't have reached to conclusions this soon with such little information…
'I made a mistake.'
[ "So, Elkin, who are the new seeds this year? Introduce me to your hew children. Ah, I see Carla for the first time as well. Hello little one. Your father loves you a lot, remember that please~." ]
Uncle El and Jade, this special (Silver Taigriel) a, origin creature capable of transcending the realms on its own, were friends.
The friendship they had was a sopecial relationship than just the relationship between two people that were acquired with each other and talked with one another on regular bases.
The two of them had a strong bond that was nothing less than the bond between a familiar and their master, however, this bond had a different name.
'Brotherhood formed on the base of experience and trust, certainly something rare, and certainly something we don't see in today's world often.'
They weren't bound by any practical power but still, there was a special bond present between them.
A special bond that, perhaps, was similar to the bond mom and Miss Sarah had…
'Though the only thing different here was the sexual attraction, but we can't really compare the two bonds on those bases.'
She loved mom because, well, she loved her. On the other hand, Sir Jade liked uncle for who he was and who he used to be.
Both are different, and yet… independently beautiful.
