Chapter 63 63 Evelyn’s Record
Apparently, the Aethersphere had even changed her body enough for he to be considered a new species, and as she looked back on the way her body had been rearranged when divine item was introduced into her body she understood why.
'I suppose she was going to find out eventually anyway.' Evelyn thought.
She then nodded her head and both Dara and Melisandre made a magical connection with her to hear her answer.
"Yes, I do have another magical power. I am not sure exactly what it is, only that it lets me lower or increase the weight of things.'
Naturally Evelyn did not fully explain what she knew and kept it as vague as possible while giving her explanation.
While she knew what gravity was, it was not a concept she had come across yet in the world and was uncertain if it was known in any capacity.
For now, she felt it better to just say she was unsure of what her special magical power was, and especially not to mention that it had come from a powerful divine item that might have her being dissected in order for someone else to retrieve it.
After hearing Evelyn's explanation, both Dara and Melisandre wore pensive expressions and thought about what she had just said.
"I suppose that you have managed to get quite the rare magic indeed, as I have not heard of something like that before. Would you mind using it on me?" Melisandre said with an ecstatic expression.
Feeling a bit hesitant, Evelyn did not want to show off her gravity magic here, but the gleam in Melisandre's eyes showed that she would not be taking no for an answer.
Giving in, Evelyn activated her gravity magic and extended a field of three times gravity out towards Melisandre.
Though surprisingly as soon as she did, Melisandre seemed to shrinking down. Though she actually quickly realized that she had sunk into the floor as the tiles cracked underneath her.
Apparently while she looked like a dainty young woman, she must have been incredibly dense to suddenly just break through the sturdy floor below her.
"That is enough." Melisandre said as she floated out of the ground with a perturbed expression on her face.
Dara for her part had her beak wide open as she looked at the broken tiles in disbelief.
"I can see that your magic is just as you described. I definitely felt my weight being increased drastically, and even when I tried to block your magic by coating myself in magical energy it had no effect. To think you posses a magic that can affect anyone, regardless of the difference in magical energy quantity and potency."
There was a bit of awe in her eyes as she looked at Evelyn, and a very happy smile appeared on her face as she thought about how supremely lucky she was to have found such a rare talent that might be seen once every millennia.
She then turned towards Dara, and said, "I suppose that we should give this new magic a name. As my new disciple has said it can increase or decrease how heavy things are, how about weight magic."
Nodding her head, Dara moved over and a pen and paper seemed to float around on its own and began writing things down.
Internally Evelyn groaned at her gravity magic now being known as weight magic, but she did not want to take the time or effort to explain a concept she truthfully only knew a little bit about, and that would expose she had lied earlier.
"Ah and now that I have recorded the name of your new magic for our records hall, what about your species. You appear to be a variant of a Horned Zephyr Owl, but as you are the first one of your kind, you shall be allowed to come up with the name yourself." Dara said with a smile of enjoyment.
It had been a long time since she had gotten so much interesting an new information to put into her records hall, and if not for Melisandre already having claimed her, Dara would have jumped on Evelyn and taken her as her own disciple.
Being told to pick a name for her species Evelyn was a bit taken aback at first.
She had not expected something like this to come up, and was not great at naming things to begin with.
'I am guessing that my parents were probably what Dara just said were Horned Zephyr Owls, which does make sense as they both had wind magic affinities. Hm, maybe I should take inspiration from that then.'
Quickly thinking up a name for her new species, Evelyn tried to come up with something cool, but kept creating weird names that did not really make much sense.
'Screw it, I will just replace Zephyr with Aether.' Evelyn thought as she became frustrated.
"I would like my new species to be called a Horned Aether Owl." Evelyn told to Dara.
As she heard this name, she shook her head from side to side as she thought about it, but ultimately wrote it down even though the name sounded a bit odd.
"Very well your species shall hence forth be know as a Horned Aether Owl and your new magical affinity shall be called weight magic." Dara said as she finished writing some things down that would be stored as Evelyn's record.
After that she turned towards Melisandre and said, "Now then, as her master it is only fitting that you give her a name to be designated by now that she has joined the Roost."
But as Melisandre started thinking of a name to give Evelyn, she abruptly stopped them and said, "Wait I already have a name of my own!"
