Chapter 98: 98. Perks Of Light Affinity

After a few hours,

[So, what do you think?]

"HaHaHa You are a crazy old man, but I like it."

Mack then thought about something.

"But these acolytes here on Earth? They saw my face, they can easily identify me as a warlock."

[I already took care of that, try to find any news with you on it]

Mack looked at a tv by the side and grabbed the remote control and turned it on.

As soon as the tv was on Mack saw news about him. But his face was completely dark. Not even the eyes could be seen.

Mack clicked the remote and changed channels again, and again and again.

His face was always dark.

"So.... you put a spell on me at that moment? What is this? Or how you did this?"

[Hahahaha, you are too green kid, too green, can't you manipulate fire and wind? Guess....]

"Light?"

~thurumm~

A lightning bolt fell on the pool close to the door.

[I guess this answer your questions]

"Now I wished I had an affinity with light, too. Damm it, it's so awesome!"

Said Mack, slapping his own leg in frustration.

"Since this is taken care, we can conclude our stay at Earth? I will miss the food tho.... "

[What food? You only eat fruits all the time. If I didn't see you eat a hamburger on the first day, I would think you are vegan]

Remembering the first day, Mack suddenly thought of something....

"And the cameras that took photos with me? I remember some guys say they liked my red eyes"

[Same thing, they could see you but no camera could record it, it's a kind of essence art very useful in undercover operations, because you don't want people to suspect you but no recordings are left of you too]

"Interesting....im indeed too green, so many things to learn... when do we start?"

[As soon as we leave this cursed planet, Essence here is too low]

"Lets go then"

Said Mack, grabbing his backpack by the side. His things never went out of his view, a habit he created in the tower.

Harlack stood up, took a step forward, and patted Mack on his shoulder.

~thurum~

In the next moment, Mack's eyes went white.

A second later, his vision returned, and he saw himself in front of a huge pyramid. The night sky full of stars made the scenery look as even more magical. It was the first time of Mack seeing a pyramid so close, and he bet he would never forget that image.

"Where we are? Was this some kind of teleportation?"

[It's one of the perks of light affinity. I just made us move extremely fast. We are at what you call now Egypt]

Said Harlack, pointing to the pyramid in front of him.

"An old man that moves fast, that's a new one for me."

[Stop with the jokes. We need to activate the array below the pyramid to get out of here]

Saying that, the old man took a step and started to walk in the direction of the pyramid.

Mack looked at the huge pyramid and could not believe this was indeed made by aliens. If the people that loved creating conspiracy theories were here now, they would go crazy over this.

After a few minutes of walking, Mack could not hold back and asked,

"Can't you just do that lighting trick and move us close to the pyramid?"

[Kid, why do you think I'm walking if I could do that?]

"So? We can fly too...."

[We can't, we need a steady walking to there. This pyramid has an array to prevent any kind of Essence use. Why do you think this pyramid is in a desert? It was not a desert to start, all the essence around here is still as the water of an ice lake. Do you know any animals or plants that can live in a completely frozen lake?]

"Its done this way to not 'mess' things up during the activation of the teleportation array?"

[Very smart, correct. How do you came to that conclusion?]

"Because of the Argonian cape, it's the same principle. I can't move too much while in active mode."

Said Mack, pointing to his back.

Harlack kept walking as he remembered when he acquired the Argonian cape and the girl that later become his first and only wife.

[You know kid, this cape was very important to me. Take good care of it, or I will haunt you when I die]

Said Harlack, still not changing his gaze or expression, and looking at the pyramid in the front.

Mack noticed the weird tone in Harlack 'voice', and could imagine why it was important.

"Dont worry old man, I'm not easy to be killed."

Said Mack, because the cape would belong to him until he died, but then remembering the old man was going to die in ten years, Mack had a question he wished to know but was not sure if he should ask.

But he didn't needed, Harlack could see his thoughts as clear as the pyramid in front of them.

[You want to know how I'm sure of my death, right?]

Mack heard the voice in his head but didn't say anything aloud, only nodded while they still walked.

[First, there is not such thing as eternal life, all things perish, some just take way way longer than others. Second, when you reach the control of Essence that I have, you will be able to spot all the minute details in your body, thus, you will be able to see when you are going to die of 'old age']

Said Harlack, unfazed as always when talking about his own death, for a man that lived so much as him, death was nothing but a day when he could rest in peace.

After a few more minutes of complete silence, they finally reached the pyramid, and Mack could faintly see some patterns that looked like a variation of runes engrave on the entrance. It was similar but yet different.
