Chapter 4 - Elro

"Elro, as you may know or for now may not is a …."

And with that he began his explanation about Elro, Moonlight and Cloud both shifted closer to hear whatever he has to say.

In summary, the world was created by a being known as the Saint. The being created every non-living thing that exist in the world, and it also made Elro.

Elro is the source of every living thing: monsters, humans and even beings the world has yet not discovered. It can also be called life energy.

Every living thing in the world has at least some amount of Elro in them. Those of royal lineage are recorded to have a higher amount than your average human.

"That is all"

Great Uncle said so closing his eyes with his arms crossed and a hidden smile of his face.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Cloud protested.

"Yes, that is all. Did I not say it wasn't that long?"

At this point, Cloud began throwing the same words to Great Uncle. And Great Uncle just sat there nonchalantly.

"Is there really not anymore explanations" Moonlight asked meekly.

Great Uncle turned his attention to Moonlight and replied

"There is, but you just asked for the meaning, not the full topic as a whole"

"We did not say that. So, complete the teaching__"

"SHUT UP"

While Cloud was protesting, his voice woke up a sleeping Mera. Cloud lowered his voice and just stared into Great Uncle.

"See, your ranting has woken Mera" Great Uncle added.

"Don't act like you're not involved" Cloud bounced back.

"Alright, let me explain seriously"

After some silence, Great Uncle became serious again. Cloud stopped talking and just focused on him intensively.

"Elro can be used…"

Elro can be used as a catalyst to interfere with any existing substance in the world. These could be water, light, fire and even more. The range it can affect depends on the amount or mastery of Elro.

There are two ways to use Elro which are: release and transfer. Release simply means using your raw energy to interfere while transfer is using things of the world. But the penalty is sometimes harsh.

"Penalty, what penalty"

It was Cloud that asked the question.

Great Uncle replied "When you use raw energy. You can control the amount you want to use but for transfer there is already a specified amount. So_"

"So, you might use more than your body can handle" Cloud added.

"Correct, and if you're in a life and death situation___"

"Your death is inevitable as you exhausted your body"

"Wow, this is the most responsive class since Urta and Niel"

Great Uncle and cloud took a respective conversation of Cloud finishing his statement before he is done with it. And for the first they both saw him smile.

"But you guys are Adna's" Great Uncle continued, now looking serious.

"So__" Cloud responded.

"Right now, the Adna's are the strongest in the world. Boasting and proving every single time period that they are the strongest and better than everyone at everything"

"Really"

As Cloud heard that, a mysterious grin appeared on his face for some time before going back to neutral.

Great Uncle continued "Every Adna has a high amount of Elro, and they surpass even royalty in terms of Elro"

"Heh" Cloud muttered with a grin.

"Because of that, you are advised to never release your raw energy, and you will only us transfer all your life"

"Wait, I thought transfer is bad" I asked.

"It is. Moonlight, but to an Adna it is basically nothing. And besides if you release your raw energy, you will become immortal"

"Immortality isn't that a good thing" Cloud added.

"No. It may sound good but as time passes everything will start becoming boring and you will move on to live a life of solitude."

"Are you speaking from experience" Cloud asked.

And he replied "Yes"

"Okay"

A moment of silence came forth thee as the only audible sound was that wind blowing.

"So, right now I'm going to teach all of you, how to control your Elro and strength" Great Uncle continued.

He looked at Cloud then to Moonlight before finishing

"Moonlight"

Moonlight was spooked.

"_yes" he replied.

"Please wave your right hand towards your right and away from the house"

"Huh" Moonlight replied.

"And Mera, please get away from his range"

What does he want to do, I thought.

"Alright do it, Moonlight" Great Uncle shouted.

Moonlight raises his right hands and waves them to the right, away from the house as was told.

A shockwave appeared at the direction Moonlight waved to unintentionally turning the grassland into a wasteland with disproportioned rocks scattered in a straight direction.
