Chapter 10 - Chapters - 10 The Sort-Bind Ceremony!!

(On the night of blue moon)

Giggles of a little boy was heard around the room. Serelaithe,who slept on floating bed woke up by the giggles and looked around. She stepped down her bed and walked towards those sounds, Those Giggles changing direction towards the wardrobe. She opened the wardrobe seeing a boy hiding in it. He hid his face by facing towards the other side. "Mother! You found me!" She smiled and stretched her hand to touch him, "But why did you abandoned me, mother??" His sweet voice Suddenly turned into creeky voice. "What ? No!! I didn't abandoned you Love...." She touched his shoulders. "Then why am I not with you now??!!" He turned his head and his eyeball sockets are empty without eyeballs and blood flowing from the empty space. "I will find you" A foul smell is coming from him and he touched her hand as his hands looked as his skin was scraped and flies are whizzing around it.

"No! No! I didn't abandoned you!! Please!!" She screamed loudly and woke up from the dream. Her face was sweating with tense and her body become colder. She grabbed the water beside her and drank as she is shaking from that nightmare, that glass slipped from her hand and shattered into pieces. That loud shattering sound brought her back to the reality. She wiped the sweat on her forehead,made a sigh as that is just a nightmare. She covered herself with the blanket and came out to Virial Garden. She rubbed herself for warmth and walked around the garden seeing a person doing something to the floor.

"Excuse me!!" She poked that person and he turned back. "Ignis! What are you doing he- Ha! Is that a fish??" She looked at the dead fish covered in the mud. "Shush! Why are you shouting?" He covered her mouth. She started laughing at his childish behaviour, but he panicked as it will be embarassed if someone see him like that. " Why why are you laughing?? It's not something you should laugh about?" She is still laughing and wiped her tears as she hit her limits. "Leave it like that. Why are you here?" She stopped laughing and went to bury the fish completely and grew a small sprout from it with her magic. "I had a dream. More like a nightmare." He looked confused. "So does the great silithrae getting softy with her age growing as she is afraid of a mere nightmare??" He mocked her by imitating. "I saw him" He froze for a second and frowned his eyebrows. "You mean...." He went near her and she turned back. "Yes. Maelion." He crouched down to her and hugged and comforted her.

"But something is happening around us. I felt Maelion is coming to us. Everytime he comes in dreams, brings a chaos." She release the hug and warned him. "We must be careful at Tomorrow's ceremony " Ignis nodded and they both went back to their towers.

(At Present)

Students stood in the middle and on the left hand, All faculty stood to witness the ceremony. Infront of them headmistress Serelaithe Silith stood with proud posture, "Dear Ele's now the time has come to the Prestigious ' Sort-Bind Ceremony ' . By this ceremony you will be sorted into your element and the sorted will be transported to Floating sanctum at which you will be binding with your weapon, which will help you for channelling you magic and enhance your power." All the student are very silent and totally invested on what she is saying except one who is afraid as he has no power.

"So Everyone will come when they are called upon, Place your hand on the oracle orb of the sanctum called 'Orivy Thaloryn' . It will change colour as per your spirit god chooses. But there is a twist in here, Just because your born in Prosperous families doesn't mean you will also be sorted into it. The spirit gods will choose you, based on your affinity. Accept the fate and embrace the power that your given. Let the Vaelari Glow in glory." She clapped and that is when she disappeared from that place and she went to the top of the floating sanctum.

"After your sorting, your spirit god or goddess will take you to the top of the floating sanctum, headmistress Serelaithe will guide you from there to your binding weapon ceremony." Prof. vern explained to the students. Everyone went silent and waited for there chance to be called. The oracle made a sound, "Sylas and Sylvan Molgrith" They are twin boys who wore matching outfit. They both went to the oracle and placed their hand on it, The orb turned into green and orange mixed shade, that indicate as they belong to the earth element. Suddenly a large tree roots from ground grew mixed with newly Sprouted roots and dried medicinal roots. Those roots twirled around them and took them to the sanctum.

When they reached the floating sanctum, at the bottom a projection of the Floating sanctum armory was shown below to the students. They saw Headmistress serelaithe and the twins standing opposite to her. A small bowl was placed in front of them filled with 'legurus Glory' It is known as the divine liquid, made up of war god Legurus's Blood.They say that the weapon will choose it's owner and bring victory to the blood of Legurus, so it is a ritual in Elarion since the ancient times. "Sylas and Sylvan Molgrith! Such a bliss that we got two new leaves from the inventory family! Come forward!" They both stepped forward and stood infront of the legurus glory.

"Please dip your hands in the Legurus Glory and place your hands forth. The weapon will choose you." Both of them dipped their hands and placed their hand in the mid air. The calm twin Sylas is waiting patiently but the naughty twin Sylvan is eagerly looking around with smile.An earthen table grew from the ground and had a hilt of a sword placed on top of it. Sylas looked at serelaithe and she nodded her head to proceed forward. He took the hilt in his hands and the sword was slowly appeared from the hilt with some green glowing runes on it. Other twin was still looking around for his weapon but he didn't got any sign.

He lowered his hand in disappointment, suddenly with a loud sound which came from cracking the wall, A stone spiked hammer came towards him and he jumped in happiness but the thing he didn't notice is, his weapon is coming towards him with a brute force that could destroy him. He froze for a moment and jumped up and held the handle of the hammer but still didn't stopped and hit the wall some feets above the floor. Sylas was shocked by the brute strength of the hammer and felt relieved that he got a gentle weapon. While Sylvan was struggling to remove the hammer from the wall, he pulled the hammer with his hands and pushed the wall with legs and suddenly he felt feather light as he was floating in the air but realised he was falling down along with his hammer. He safely managed to land on the floor but still smiling with proud.

"Professor look! I got the strongest weapon!" He showed it by placing it on his left shoulder. "It is a previlige to receive an earthen war hammer known for its brute strength and power at the very young age, love.It Played an important role in Zacorene War by it's previous wielder." She explained about it and turned towards Sylas "You received Gaia's Double edged Longsword known for its Precision and Generation. It is the symbol of rebirth and Victory " She smiled at him. Both of them thanked her for the guidance and went back through the door which led them to the bottom as they came out from random door. When they came out, everyone clapped and envied of them seeing their weapons.

Meanwhile, Lira is shivering from the tense around her. Robin looked at her, "Lira? You okay?" He shook her. "I-I think I am gonna fail this." Robin turned her head towards him. "What make you think like that? Look If someone who need to be worried about failing.....it should be me. I came from an ordinary human world with no magic background. But you're from a prominent water family?? You will get through this!!" He gave a tap on her shoulder and blamed himself. "Didn't you here her, Family background doesn't give you the right to be sorted but your affinities does. But I don't have any affinity that I was proud of." She crouched down with fear and shaking her head by denying her own abilities.

Robin crouched down to look at her face but she is not in this world. "Look at me!! You're perfect in every way Lira, you're nice, kind, Talented and most importantly you're Powerful maybe you didn't noticed it yet. You're no less than anyone here." He shouted at her but comforted her with his words, she was somewhat felt relieved. "Lira wynmere!" Oracle orb called Lira's name. Everyone looked at them and whispering, they looked around and to themselves and nodded to each other.
