Chapter 9 - CHAPTER 09—I AM WEAK

NARRATOR POV

 Ariel woke up early the next day in anticipation of his day with his father. He got up early, having been bedridden for a few days. Walking was kind of a problem, but he got the hang of things pretty quickly as he got up to wash himself. As he passed by a mirror, he could not help but glance at himself, his hair grown, and his muscles defined, even though he had been asleep for six years. His hair had gotten darker and longer, falling over his shoulders. He had also gotten taller, probably the age of a 5-year-old, but his body said otherwise. Ariel looked as if he had lifted weights all his life as his muscles smiled at him through the mirror. "An angel and dragon physic are quite different," he thought to himself as his body betrayed any signs of being nourished and unconscious for the full six years.

 Ariel made his way quickly to the bathroom, properly cleaning himself after a long period. He got dressed and headed downstairs for his meal. He grew more anxious as he got closer to his destination, when he popped out from the conner of the stairs he was met with his mother's radiant smile as she beamed at him sliding a bowl of pottage to him, he sat down calmly as his eyes met his father he swallowed hard before speaking up "I am ready father" he held his stare at him as ether gave him a satisfied hum and an order for him to finish his food first. Ariel gobbled down his food as fast as he could, but also at a pace it won't seem he was too hasty, minutes later he was heading out the front door for the first time in this life, he felt joy and happiness, and also at the same time a sense of freedom he never felt as an angel with HIS grasp always around his neck. He walked closer to where his father stood with the same angel from six years ago. No noticeable change was found except that his holy power had gotten a little weaker than the last time they met.

 Ariel carefully approached both adults, extending his greetings to the angel with a slight bow, which the angel returned with a smile before placing a pat on his shoulder. His father's voice rang out at the end of their yard, giving specific orders to the angel, which he carefully followed until Ariel was surrounded by magic circles all around him. "Release your mana, everything.... holy power included, Ariel," his father order carried weight as he didn't know how much mana his current body could hold before even adding the holy power; both would end up conflicting with each other, unless his body already adapted to using both powers. Ariel took a step back as he let out a shaky breath with his eyes closed. After a brief moment, his eyes snapped open, his pupils dilating almost instantly, mana waves radiating off his body before his mana started spilling out explosively. His father stared at him in awe as his pupils dilated even more release more of his mana lifting him of the ground, his eyes continued to dilate but stopped after a while a hint of gold flowing in them as his pupils widen forming four points in each eyes as the points formed his holy power starts to surge out of him conflicting with the mana instantly causing his body to convulse after few minutes in that state he feel to the ground exhausted from the release of all his mana his circuits was dry.
