The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

- POV Freya -

"Freya, I need to talk to you about your daughter's powers...they are more dangerous than you think."

As my developed hearing heard the laughter of those in the carriage, Kalaa quickly brought me back to reality with a single sentence. She had probably waited until we were alone to tell me about it although Gaya could also hear. Inferno and Pearl were pulling the convoy, June and May were far ahead, and Kira's white horse was trotting merrily along without suspecting for a second the importance of the conversation.

"We...we haven't really had time to talk about...our past. I know you haven't had time to see your memories yet either but...I'd like to talk to you about me and my powers."

It was true, the only serious discussion we'd had since our reunion had mostly been about her relationship with the world and humans. Mostly we wanted to know why Kalaa had arrived in Elysium with the urge to kill me and where she was coming from after so many years. I understood that her relationship with Titania was very bad after she killed me or rather reincarnated in a modern world without my memories of Goddess.

However, I still didn't know what my life was like with the Gods or really what my relationship with my older sister was like. In fact, there were many things I didn't know and those memories I had unlocked in the crypt, I hadn't taken the time to live them. Something inside me prevented me from doing so, I felt that by doing so a new part of my personality would emerge the more I would unlock my full original Demon form.

However, I couldn't delay this moment indefinitely and this trip was also a way to learn more about myself and my past. Kalaa, on the other hand, knew everything and that's why I took her words with unwavering seriousness, especially as it concerned Shiro. Clutching the horses' reins in front of us, I turned my head to my older sister, dipping my eyes into hers...we had the same.

"As you know, when I broke free from my underground prison a few weeks ago, I felt the last bits of my powers bubbling up. Like you, Titania gave me her elements no doubt to control us but it turns out that the ones I possessed before didn't totally disappear."

"Indeed, when you created my daughter thousands of years ago in the form of an egg made from your being, you gave her most of your element. When she healed Angel, it suddenly awoke."

"Yes but it has been awakened...by force"

Squinting, I tried to figure out what she was getting at but with my poor knowledge of the subject it was almost impossible. I did understand that my daughter had called upon her power unconsciously invaded by her pure emotions but I didn't know more. What did she mean when she said that she had awakened by force ? Wasn't that how the beings of this world discovered their affinity during their lives ?

Besides, my daughter had Nightshade blood and although neither I nor Kalaa knew what happened to the egg once it arrived in this world, she was still different. I might have been biased but I believed in her even though I didn't want to put her at risk. My older sister had no idea of all the thoughts that were going through my mind but very quickly, spoke up again to give me more information about it.

"Time magic is very dangerous and should not be used willy-nilly like ice, fire, air or earth. Just like your Death and Blood elements, it is so-called 'divine' magic that must be handled with care by beings capable of mastering it."

"You mean that..."

"Shiro is not capable of it and I don't know if she ever will be. One thing is for sure, she should definitely not use it, under any circumstances...Freya"

"..."

"To be honest, even if I were to get my old powers back I wouldn't be able to use them without endangering my life either. I'm human now, your daughter is a hybrid, and the blood of the Gods that flows through our veins is far too weak. You shouldn't be able to use your Goddess elements either but thanks to your unique system your body, mind and soul are evolving accordingly."

It was true that my system allowed me to do many things that were unthinkable in this world, especially since I had freed myself from Titania's control. She wanted me to regain my powers and my identity as Lucifer without me remembering anything and she had been caught at her own game without knowing it. I knew that my system was now unique and free, but I didn't know that it also acted as a regulator.

In fact, thanks to it I could be sure to evolve without being subjected to any restriction neither from this world, nor from this manipulative Goddess. The possibilities had become infinite and with this advantage, I had become something else, something more powerful. But if these divine elements could only be used by Gods and Demigods, why could Kalaa and I manipulate Ice and Chaos ?

"I know you must be wondering why we can use the elements of Titania who is a Goddess and not ours. Well, because these elements are just a kind of copy of the Divine ones she has, kind of like the two original elements. When it comes to our original powers, the power is much greater and Shiro who was a part of me is subject to the same rule."

*I see*

The Ice and Chaos elements were just much less powerful derivatives which allowed us to use them to a certain extent. However, when our mana was connected to the use of Original elements there were risks that the body, mind and soul could not stand it. Much like a cup representing our being, unable to hold a huge amount of water representing mana...the liquid eventually overflows.

"What are the risks for someone unable to master the magic of Time ?"

"Well...premature aging, loss of mana, weakening of body and soul, insanity, personality changes and finally, the worst...death."

At these words, I felt my heart suddenly clench at the thought of any of these things happening to Shiro or even Kalaa. I couldn't help but relive in my mind the moment when she had saved Angel and a wave of power from her had swept over me. Moreover, I understood why my little moon had grown slightly after that event while my big sister reiterated her warning.

"Shiro must not use her powers until she is sure that it is not safe, it will all depend on her evolution"

"Couldn't you teach her to control it ? How do you expect her to evolve if she can't even use her elements ?"

The more the conversation progressed, the more I was able to grasp what she was getting at discovering new risks that I wouldn't have been able to deduce without her help. However, the idea that Shiro could not use her mana and therefore evolve did not appeal to me at all. She who a few minutes ago said she wanted to become strong...it was not possible. I had decided to call on Kalaa, hoping that her answers would hint at a solution.

"I could test her yes, but that requires a perfect mastery of mana of a high divine level that a little girl of that age can't have. And then as I said, her envelope is not that of a God, at most a wolf-half-Demigod hybrid. Your daughter only has a one in a thousand chance of success...that's very low."

"I see..."

Shiro was indeed not a demigod despite her origins and the blood that ran through her veins which was somehow also quite unique. She possessed the original element of a Goddess, her blood heritage but her hybrid race made her half a Demigod which was not enough. Still, I didn't want to give up that hope even though the chances of success were 0.10%...if it wasn't deadly, it was worth a try.

"Test her first before drawing any conclusions. The process is safe if it's controlled by someone who knows it, right ?"

"I-It is, I mean but it's exhausting training, very hard and I'm pretty sure that..."

"Test her."

I was adamant, of course I was going to have to talk to Shiro trying to make her understand because I didn't want to decide for her but I wanted her to have a choice. My Princess deserved to be able to choose her destiny no matter how hard the path to success was and that was without question. As I spoke again, I knew very well that Kalaa did not know her yet but that this little one was much stronger than she thought.

"I'd rather have full confidence in her and you than bury this option at the expense of my daughter's dreams and desires. Don't worry, I have faith in both of you and in Shiro's strength...she has something extra and you'll realize it soon enough."

Plunging my gaze back into my older sister's eyes, I placed my hand on hers with a seriousness that I couldn't hide. What she was thinking deep inside was surprisingly easy to guess, reading apprehension and fear in her eyes as her fingers trembled. A sudden urge to hug her overtook me but I decided to remain still and silent seeing that she was about to speak.

"Alright, if that's what you want little sister...I'll take care of it. I promise to test Shiro without ever putting her in danger, I will take care of her. At least...once in her eyes I would no longer qualify as a stranger hostile to her happiness haha~"

Kalaa was smiling but I could feel a hint of sadness in her purple eyes and a slight quiver at the corner of her lips. I understood, after the guilt concerning Gaya and the Era of Extinction was added the case of Shiro which came to accentuate the regrets. The situation was peculiar but at this point, I was just happy that everyone was safe and sound although I decided to comfort my older sister with my sincerity.

"For a little girl, some things are still hard to understand right away, she needs time but I assure you she will be fine. After all, you are part of the family and she probably has the purest heart in this world fufu~"

"That's right...she's certainly not like both of us, Luci hahaha~"

"Hard to do worse hahaha~"

Kalaa had once again called me "Luci" showing that she was a bit more relaxed, this habit coming back naturally, especially after years of using it. I decided not to do anything, just listening to her shy little laugh that unconsciously made me smile. The conversation about the element of Time seemed to be over, the silence gradually returning as I decided to check my daughter's status once again.

As Kalaa said earlier, her race had finally emerged making her a half wolf half demigod hybrid and thus a unique race. Since she had healed Angel, my little moon was already at level 4, her MPs and HPs had increased as well as her attributes. However two things intrigued me again, Shiro possessed two elements, one of which was still unknown and I knew that the only solution was to wait.

*Ara fufu~*

After this discussion, I just needed to think about something else and it was then the second piece of information that made me smile again. I didn't know when it had changed but on my Princess's status, her age had gone from 5 and a half to 6. She had not only grown slightly in height but she had also aged and this realization made me both very happy but also speechless.

*Everyone grows up after all, but...I have to admit that realizing directly that one of your children has grown up, hits you differently*

In my head, I was already seeing hundreds of images of Shiro at different stages of her life and different ages which made me rather conflicted. Part of me wanted her to remain this cute little fur ball to protect but another part wanted to see her blossom into a strong woman. It was probably feeling that way for a mother so shaking my head, I told myself that I was going to enjoy every second of it anyway.

*We have to prepare something for her birthday fufu~ I can't wait*please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

As the carriage continued through the eastern mountains of the Dark Forest, I smiled at the thought of celebrating my daughter's birthday for the first time. This was going to be a new experience for Shiro as well, and my heart was filled with joy at the thought of her being happy and fulfilled. What Kalaa had told me was still in the back of my mind, but we hadn't even been gone a day, so what I wanted to do for now was to enjoy this family time.
