Chapter 885 Two New Skills
-----
After the sentimental speech, I reunited with the rest of my family after two weeks of sleeping. Mom and dad were in tears, and Zephy too! This was the first time I've seen them all cry at the same time. They were really worried…
"You dumb little girl, why did you had to sacrifice yourself like that?! Don't ever do something like that again! I was so worried; you weren't waking up for two weeks and I couldn't do a single thing than just watch over you!" My mother cried, kissing my entire face. "I love you, my little babyyyy!"
"Y-Yeah, what she said! Don't be so reckless, you bratty girl!" My father was genuinely angry, although it was cute because he was saying it between tears. "I was so worried!"
"Big sishhh…!" Zephy was covering me on his snout and tears.
"I-It's alright, I'm here and I'm fine! I was just taking a really long nap, everything's alright…" I giggled a bit. "I'm happy you were so worried and concerned, thanks for taking care of me."
"Of course, that's what family is for!" My father rubbed his eyes filled with tears.
"We made sure to administrate you with nutrients, wash you, and all while you slept." My mother sighed. "Every day that passed we hoped for your wake… They felt like an eternity, each day…"
"Yeah…" Zephy cried. "Big sis' alright now, really?"
"I'm fine now." I smiled, kissing my brother's forehead. "You've been a good boy, I assume!"
"I've been a good boy!" Zephy nodded. "I've done my homework and… trained magic with mama, and sword with papa."
"Fufu, well done." I smiled. "Now let's talk while having breakfast, I am starving so much!"
"Alright! I've made you some pancakes already! I'll go cook some eggs and bacon, and how about an apple pie too? Ooh, maybe a pizza as well! Been a while since we've eaten one! How about it?" My mother got into her full chef mode, as two hands made of light magic flew towards the table bringing a big plate with pancakes, topped on syrup, whipped cream, and berries.
"Okay! Let's eat until we burst!" I celebrated. "Everyone, come out too! I bet you've been bored!" I summoned all my Familiars to enjoy the feast.
While we ate to our heart's contents with Aquarina, her parents joined the feast, and then Zack, Ninhursag, Luck, Lara, Celica, Celeste, and Mist! Even Mary and the other orphanage kids came to join us, at the end, we ended holding up a big party to celebrate my wake.
Even the guards and some of our friends we made in the city came to visit, the word of having woken up spread across the city, and people started celebrating it, as if it was that big of a deal… I think it wasn't but well, whatever.
And while enjoying a feast with everyone, I checked on my new Skills to see what they were all about, I'll leave the two spears for later, maybe I can disassemble them and fuse them together into an even stronger spear on another occasion, who knows.

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
The Ability to wield the Element of Void itself into a variety of ways, from provoking the slight distortion of space to piercing through hard defenses, or even negating elemental powers altogether. It can be quite dangerous to both the foe and the wielder, so proper usage and mastery is needed.

Level Bonus (1): Increases Void Attribute Runes in the user's Magic Circle by +1000.

Wow, this already sounds quite potent. Though, it feels like it will be a pain to master to the level where it will give an acceptable performance. And I fear I could end up getting my arm swallowed by the void or something… I'll need to do this very carefully.

This one seems ideal to use it as fabric for the creation of new clothes or equipment! Though I have no idea how to properly wield it, I am quite alright at sewing though. I'll have to practice a lot as well.
It can also be used defensively or offensively… But I am not sure I'll need it that badly, seeing how I have a variety of other damage-dealing abilities, techniques, and skills available. Well, maybe it will eventually come in handy.
"Sylphy, Sylphy! Hey, Sylphy!" Lara was calling me from behind.
"Yes?" I wondered.
"All the Spirits are happy that you're back! They really like you!" She said with an adorable giggle, as I noticed hundreds of colorful spirits wandering around everywhere.
"I-I see!" I saw, feeling overwhelmed as the adorable little things started swarming my entire body. "Uwaaagh! Can you tell them to calm down a bit?"
"Hehehe, I can't." She laughed.
"Wait, can't you control them?!" I cried, as they started carrying me around.
"Nah, I can just ask for their help, and give them suggestions, but it's always up to them to do whatever they want to!" Lara smiled, her eyes glowing brightly. "The Spirits of the World are different than the ones you make a contract with, they obey nobody. At most, I can just talk to them so they understand what I'm saying!"
So… Lara is just such a sweet and innocent girl that the Spirits just genuinely love her…
Well, she's not a Saintess for nothing.
