Young Master Damien's Pet (WN)
chapter-690-30041322

The wind bearer looked down at the young white witch who was getting drenched in the rain, and at the same time, his eyes caught hold of something in the corner of his eyes. He saw it was a woman who stood near the trees who didn't come close to where they were.

"What is it going to be?" he asked her, his eyes lazily looking towards her. Even in the dull atmosphere and weather both the elemental bearer as well as Penelope's eyes stood brightly looking at each other.

Penny didn't know why but the way he was asking to bestow her with the elemental ability made her feel like there were some side effects to it. It was because when a person received a certain power or ability, people took it in stride and happiness to have something and hold what others didn't possess.

She had already once gone through something like this by putting a spell without knowing if it could be fixed, "What will happen once I claim the ability?" On her question, the bearer finally cracked a smile as if his face telling her that she wasn't an idiot like the rest of the white witches.

"I knew you were the right choice when I decided to wait for you here," and even though he told he had napped or slept for so many months, the man's eyes still appeared to look droopy, "Once you receive the ability you will be shifting closer to the nature of being a black witch."

What?

"Of course, you aren't going to transform to the other side of the witch but you will be taking one step closer. A lot of white witches aren't aware of the elemental abilities and people who are aware don't try to summon the elements at the fear of turning into a black witch by mistake. Because once you claim the element and you tap into the forbidden magic, then it will time to leave the world of light and time to enter the darkness. But once a person turns to a black witch, the ability won't stay anymore," said the wind bearer. He raised his hand and the water droplets stopped moving and stood still around them while the other part of the forest continued to rain, "I don't think it should matter in your case, especially considering your origins."

The man knew she had mixed blood running in her veins.

"What else?" Penny inquired wanting to know if there was anything more she had to know.

"Just because a person is an elemental bearer and gets bestowed with it, it doesn't he or she can use it by their will. It takes time to temper and understand how to make use of the ability," said the man.

Now that she noticed him closer with her last thoughts disappearing away in her mind and being there right in front of him, she noticed the edges of his body that were hazy like there was no proper outline.

"Why didn't you move away from the raindrops earlier?" she didn't know why he got drenched and in a blink of an eye, he had dried himself with not a single drop of water on him. Penny gave him a surprised look. She and Caitlin were still wet because of the rain while he appeared as if the weather had turned bright and sunny.

Penny could now understand why every time she summoned the elements in the ritual the water bearer arrived at her door and not him. The man was here waiting for her and even if he wasn't, the ritual wouldn't have worked as he wouldn't respond to the summoning.

"Is it true that I have two elements in me?" she asked looking into his eyes.

"You do. You don't have to wait for Sally to do it to you because she has placed the ability right next to your door. Once I bestow you with the ability, it will be yours to wield but you will need to learn to control it. Ready?" Penny nodded.

Bracing herself, she took in a deep breath to see the wind bearer raise his right hand up in the air.

Now that the raindrops were no more falling on her Penny could feel the wet clothes of hers sticking on her skin. Suddenly, the velocity of the wind started to increase around her and it felt nothing less than standing at the bridge of the Quinn's during the time of evening and much faster. The wind started to circulate around her, raising her hands in the air without her doing anything before one of her hand came forward, in front of the wind bearer and he moved his open palm to place it on her hand. The wind increased, moving without any proper direction that had started to pull out the water droplets that had soaked her clothes.

He said, "When the water bearer visits the person once, the power of the element only needs to be picked and given. After this is done you will be bestowed with both the wind and water element," the wind was too high around her and she had to concentrate on what he was telling her. When the wind around them finally quietened down, he said,

"It's done."

Penny felt like a child that was yet to unwrap the gift that was given to her. She couldn't feel anything more than the vibration of the wind that she had been feeling because of the high wind a few moments ago.

"There's no guide on how to wield the element and it is something you will need to harness and workout by yourself because it isn't hard to adapt," said the wind bearer.

Before he could disappear, she said, "Wait! Do you think I can control the weather?"

The man gave it some thought, "Just a little. Consider your gift to be a drop of water from the ocean. Use your spells wisely. Though you have both the types of blood running in your veins, you don't know when time can turn bad."

"What if I want to reach you?" she asked as she was yet to learn to do it.

His gold eyes stared at her, saying, "I will be around. Farewell," he snapped his fingers, and the next minute he had disappeared from there.
