Troops from the capital of Fukviyu came knockingon the Fivindus estate inquiring about the recruitment of several members one being Lilith. Etros rejected the legality of the order and said that unless it came directly from through the royal commission he wouldn't personally allow his family to be recruited into wars.
The soldiers vehemently tried to convince the head of the Fivindus family to let them recruit atleast one. Etros rejected them again and told them to get a royal stamp that stated the emergency that required the Fivindus family.
The wind blew softly and sun was warm and bright as Etros watched the soldiers leave the property with a stern expression that turned somber.
Lilith and I were sitting in the dimly lit library. She took out a bunch of lox crystals and started to teach me about lox absorption, it was a specialty of Nihility, the ability to drain loxes and infuse into something else. She instructed me to try sucking the loxes out of my body and put into the crystals.
After a few demonstrations from Lilith I managed to make one of my lox crystals black. I set it down to her dark purple lox stone and asked how lox crysals were even used.
Lights flickered from the flames of the candles as she looked up from her book and gave me a confused smile.
"Didn't the royal academy teach you the principles of lox control?" She asked confused.
"They did, but they didn't really cover everything. They just said that lox stones are used to store loxes for later use."
Lilith closed her book and picked up both of our lox stones on the table.
"They can be used in more ways."
Her mouth opened wide and she placed her purple stone onto her tongue and swallowed it.
"First use, is lox replenishment. If you consume lox stones you will recover your reserves."
She danced her finger across my body. Her delicate finger ran from my hand all the way up to my chin.
"Second use is unleashing a special technique that requires heavy amounts of energy. Using a lox stone temporary makes you unable to run out of loxes."
She then ran her fingers through my hair and started to gently scratch my scalp.
"Third use being lox transfer, for example."
She put the black lox stone on her tongue and swallowed and suddenly from her finger tips a tiny amount of black sludge started to form.
"You temporarily allow others to wield the same Aeonic affiliation as you. Though there are certain Aeonic affiliations that aren't compatible with each other and will instead lead to your body being brutally torn into two due to the Aeons repelling each other."
Lilith started to play with the black goo on the tip of her finger before sitting back down and giving me a few lox stones to test out the different uses. She filled 2 of time with her loxes and told me to have fun and went back to reading.
Now that I thought about it, I haven't seen the white rabbit anywhere. Was it because of Lilith's presence she didn't want to show up? I went ahead and tested the different uses for lox stones and thus an afternoon went by. Just before nighttime when Lilith was supposed to head back to her room I asked her about troops that came today to the Fivindus estate askinf for help. She soft expression turned bitter and annoyed the moment I mentioned those people from Fukviyu.
"From what I have heard there is an ongoing revolution in a neighboring kingdom. Apparently the royal family supported a coup to overthrow the democratic republic of Wien and made it into an absolute monarchy lead by extremists. And they wanna drag the noble families into this conflict to help them suppress the Wienian rebels."
"Sounds a bit complicated."
"I wonder what makes them go to such lengths, the emotions or thoughts that goes through their heads whilst fighting each other by a war instigated by the royal family," Lilith retorted.
Lilith got onto both her feet and poked me in the face.
"But anyways, goodnight my little disciple."
