Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 245 Help from the Past.

"My Queen, if these people do not have anyone to guide them, I believe we should take matters into our own hands.

If they somehow traveled through the past, it must mean that they seek assistance, if we could help them in some way…

How about we summon them here?"

One of the Elder Spirits suggested. The other fairies nodded as well. Most of them were still shocked and even worried about their impending doom, however, since nothing was clear and since all the leaders were taking the news quite calmly, no one acted out and decided to work something out.

If they could make contact with the boy and his spirits, they could also try and understand what happened in the future and somehow try to change it.

The Spirit Queen, however, shook her head.

"That being comes from the future, the moment we make contact with him, the timeline would change, it would create an alternative timeline that would deviate from the real timeline.

To correct that, the universe would react, if that happened, not only would we be hastening our doom, but we would also be putting his life in danger.

Or… there might be a protection mechanism that would send him back to his original timeline the moment we try and make contact with him.

No, now that I think about it, with how you told me that they were simply hiding in a corner, watching in silence, and not making any moves, it is most like the case.

They cannot interact with living beings of our timeline, I believe that they aren't even allowed to be seen by people of our world and the only reason we can see them without them facing any consequences is because we live in our separate dimensions."

The Queen's analysis was spot on.

Honestly, it was surprising that she could deduce this much information with the limited amount of information she had received. The other Spirits, however, weren't surprised.

It was an everyday occurrence for them.

The Spirit Queen was an immortal being with endless wisdom, deducing something like this wasn't a difficult task for a being of her level.

"So what should we do…?"

An Elder Spirit questioned.

"There is nothing we can do. Since they come from the future, all our actions would create an alternative timeline which the universe would try to erase."

"But this doesn't make sense, if the universe didn't want the change, it would never allow something that could help living beings travel back in time to exist. The very fact that these people are here means that the universe wants them to be here.

If we do not take any action, I would feel that we are doing something wrong. Don't forget, the ones around them are only children. When have we ever ignored our children who seek our help?"

Another Elder Spirit spoke out loud and suddenly, the entire hall turned silent and turned towards the Spirit Queen.

The Queen observed all the spirits for a while and then, she nodded,

"Elder Rashtri is correct, we cannot possibly leave our children who seek our assistance alone, but at the same time, we cannot put that child in any form of danger either.

So we will only be summoning the Spirits around him and not interacting with him.

Since it would be an interaction between beings that do not belong to this dimension, the universe would not react."

"So you are telling us to interact with the boy through the Spirits?"

"That is correct." The Queen nodded.

"Remember, once those children are here, none of you are allowed to mention any information that shouldn't be mentioned.

We will only be implanting basic knowledge into them and once we are done, we will let them go, is that clear?"

"Only the Basic Knowledge…?"

The Elder Spirit named Rashtri was uncertain.

"Time we have in our hands is limited. Even the Basic Knowledge we give them will be in abstract form, something that would need to be deciphered and then comprehended in the future.

I know you wish to help them more, Rashtri, but there is a limit to how much we can do in a short interval. We would need to leave the rest of them. If they are capable enough, then with the knowledge we provided as the base, they can grow further on their own.

After all, as the Spirits who surround the Special Being, they should at least be this capable, no?"

The Spirit Queen smiled and in the end, Rashtri and other Spirits had no option but to agree.

The Decision was made soon, fast forwarding to presence, Flamey and others who were rushing towards the whirlpool of energy were summoned by the Elder Spirits using the summoning Magic.

Vaan, who was surprised and almost lost his control was calmed by the Fairy Queen herself. She couldn't interact with him, yes but she wasn't left with many options either.

With how Vaan had reacted, it wouldn't have been a surprise if his existence was revealed and he would face consequences. The Spirit Queen would never allow the 'Special Being' to face problems because of her decision.

…

"Krriiii…?"

"Gurruu…?"

"Skriii!?"

On the other side, Flamey and others who had appeared in a completely different place couldn't believe their eyes. Just now, they were in front of the huge, desirable energy, and now, they had appeared inside a hall that they were seeing for the first time in their life.

None of them could understand what was happening and in an instant, as the Eldest, Flamey appeared in front of Splashy and Breazy, ready to protect her little sisters from the unknown. Splashy and Breazy seemed quite nervous as well.

Seeing them act like this, the other Spirits couldn't help but chuckle, then, they decided to reveal their existence.

So as to not overwhelm the little girls, the Queen had ordered all the Younger Spirits to leave, so right now, there were only 3 Elder Spirits and the Spirit Queen in the room.

The moment the 4 revealed themselves, Flamey and the others all stepped back, clearly, they were being extremely defensive.

"They are much different from our children."

Videl, one of the three Elder Spirits commented with a curious look on her face as she continued to observe the Spirits.

Rashtri nodded. Even if they were children, the three of them should have sensed that they weren't here to harm them and should have lowered their guard.

The fact that they were alarmed meant that the three couldn't even naturally comprehend who the four of them were which would mean that their senses were much weaker than normal.

"Wait… the red one is already more than 2 years old…?"

Suddenly, the last of the three Elder Spirits, Vidyaka, spoke as she narrowed her eyes in doubt and confusion.

Hearing her words, the other two Elder Spirits frowned and observed Flamey's age.

"This… this doesn't make any sense…"

Rashtri blinked in surprise as well.

A Spirit is able to speak fluently within a month even if they are not taught. The smarter ones even start when they are merely 10 days old but…

The fact that Flamey, who was already over 2 years old and still couldn't speak even a single interpretable word surprised the Spirits a lot.

The other two standing behind them didn't seem very bright either, yes, they were younger, but they had shown no improvement either.

The Elder Spirits couldn't understand, how were they supposed to teach them when the three were this dull.

No, this wasn't even the problem of implanting knowledge. They were worried if the three little spirits could even perform basic actions and survive as Spirits.

The Elders, who were looking forward to teaching the companions of the Special Being couldn't help but feel down.

The Queen, however, was different from the others.

She glanced at Flamey and the others who still had their guards up, the little girls seemed to have sensed that resisting in this situation was useless since they wouldn't be able to do anything, or… the thought of showing resistance didn't even enter their little minds.

This didn't mean that the Queen looked down upon the girls like the Elder Spirits.

She simply smiled at the three Spirits in front of her and in an instant, Flamey and the others could feel their hearts move, the Queen's smile was so gentle that all sense of caution they felt disappeared in an instant and they stared at the Queen with lost looks on their faces.

The Queen chuckled as she then extended her hand towards them.

The three little spirits stepped forward and held the Queen's finger with their tiny hands.

"Do you three wish to learn things that would allow you to help Vaan in his future endeavors?"

The Queen questioned and the Spirits who understood what they meant all nodded in an instant, their eyes shining brightly.

The Queen chuckled and suddenly, her finger that was in contact with the tiny hands of the Three Spirits started shining.

It was time for the little spirits to learn just how ridiculous of an advantage Vaan had for being able to see them.
