Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Another Class, Sub Elements, Dragon Flame
[3rd POV]
Stepping up to the front of the class, a nervous Aisha stood in front of Lucifer. She hadn't even attempted to control the blood of others before, and she was terrified to even attempt such a thing, especially on another human being that could potentially be harmed from her using it on them.
"Are you sure it is okay for me to use this? I don't want to hurt anyone" Aisha asked as Lucifer chuckled.
"Yes, Aisha, it is fine. Nothing will happen while I am here, and you won't be testing on another human being, but instead an animal" Lucifer replied, as she summoned a rat, it was a fake rat that she created, but it still had blood within it, which would allow Aisha to safely control the blood of the rats without worrying about hurting anyone.
"O-okay" Aisha said nervously, as she looked at the rat.
"Remember, you control the blood through the water within it, Aisha, focus on that aspect and you will accomplish what it is I am asking of you" Lucifer said as she watched Aisha closely. The teen nodded slowly as she breathed deeply and began to focus on the water within the blood, slowly she began to pull on that connection, as the rat began to move and squeak.
Smiling, Lucifer watched as Aisha's eyes glowed softly, as she controlled the blood in the creature, and the creature itself. The teen's eyes widened in surprise as she found that she had done it! She thought it would be a lot harder, but controlling the blood was...easy.
"I told you that you could do it" Lucifer said with a pleased grin, watching as Aisha excitedly manipulated the rat, ignoring the fact that this was a living being she was manipulating. The other students of the class watched with wide eyes at the sight, not expecting it to actually work, and seemingly with such ease.
"I-I actually did it!" Aisha exclaimed in surprise, a happy grin forming on her face as she continued to manipulate the blood within the rat, as the others watched in awe.
"Like I said, Aisha, all you had to do was focus on the water within the creature's blood, and you'd be able to accomplish the task I set out for you. With this control, you will now be able to increase your power well beyond any normal water fairy, and few will be able to stand against you in battle, once you gain enough control over the blood of your foes" Lucifer replied, pleased with the progress of her student.
"Thank you Professor, truly" Aisha said with a smile, as she stopped her manipulation of the rats blood, as it dissipated into nothingness.
"Well, now that you are done, I shall put you onto the list of those who will be allowed to learn how to bring out your wings" Lucifer said with a hum, as Aisha blinked and the students eyes went wide again.
"W-Wings?"
"Oh, did I not mention that? If you do this test correctly, and well, you will be taught how to bring out your wings like the fairies of old" Lucifer replied with a grin, knowing that she just made everyone far more motivated to work hard on this test. She knew that the only one who could potentially fail was Bloom, due to the Dragon Flame, so this was more of a way of getting them to try their best, than anything.
Their eyes lit up at this piece of information, as excitement began to enter all of them, except Alice who was just giggling at the reactions of her fellow students. While Lucifer had promised her that she was going to teach her a higher fairy form, as long as she was good of course.
"Now, who wishes to go next?" Lucifer asked with a smirk as their hands shot up. Laughing at the response, she looked them over before picking Terra.
"You're up next, Terra! For this test, we'll be seeing how well you can manipulate crystals and lava!"
'Lets see just how good my students have gotten'
______________________________________
Turns out, very good. All of her students had passed with ease, well...except for one.
Staring at Bloom as she struggled to warp the flames into something different, Lucifer's eyes softened as she noticed that the girl was ready to cry. She had been trying so hard the past few months, and doing so well, that she was terrified to fail after so much practice. The fact that she was nearly crying simply because she failed, wasn't lost on Lucifer, and after a flex of her divinity, she understood why.
It turned out that her parents would hit her everytime she failed to get an A on a test or assignment, which led to MANY sleepless nights, sleepless nights that have continued even now, so that she could pass Lucifer's class. Seeing this, Lucifer struggled not to show her rage at the sight, before breathing out.
"Bloom, why don't you stay with me after class? I believe I know why you are struggling to change your element" Lucifer said softly, shaking the girl out of her oncoming panic attack. The others noticed Bloom's look and decided that they should probably leave her alone when she talked with Lucifer. They had all noticed her staying up at night, and it made them worried for her, and seeing the way Lucifer was looking at her, it seemed their teacher had an idea what was going on, and wished to help.
"O-Okay" Bloom whispered, trying her best to fight off the tears that were threatening to spill out of her eyes.
"Ah, would you look at the time! It's time for lunch! Off you trot, next time you're in class, we'll begin teaching on how to bring out those wings of yours" Lucifer said, waving her hand as the door opened.
"Have a good day Professor Morningstar!" Aisha said before walking out of class, Beatrix gave her a smile and walked out soon after.
"Rose, love, go ahead with Beatrix to lunch" Lucifer said to Rose who nodded, understanding that this wasn't a talk she needed to be a part of.
Watching the rest of the students walk out, Lucifer shut the door and placed a barrier around the room, so that no one would hear what was going on inside.
Moving, Lucifer placed a chair in front of Bloom's desk, and sat in front of the girl.
"Wh-why didn't it work? I tried so hard to change it like Aisha and the rest of them, but it didn't work" Bloom asked, looking up at Lucifer with tears threatening to spill once again.
"Because your flames are different than a normal fire fairies, Bloom"
"What do you mean different?" Bloom asked with furrowed eyebrows.
Lucifer sighed before a soft glow formed in her hand "Long ago, before magic was born, before the realms had existed, and before fairies were dominant through the realms. There was a great dragon, a dragon made up of pure and incredible magical power. This dragon, eventually had decided to try its hand at creating something, and so it did. It created, and created, and created. Until the magical realms that now makeup this universe were born from it, and with that, came the birth of life, and magical creatures around the realms, and the birth of fairies. But eventually, it decided it needed a change, for its power was too great to continue to simply exist, and so...it took a host" Lucifer spoke, as Bloom's eyes widened, realization slowly entering her.
"You mean-" "It has taken many hosts over the years, Bloom. But you are the current host of the Dragon Flame, the most powerful magical force in all the realms, capable of many things, but great and horrible. That potential comes with caveats, one of them being your deep connection to flames and heat, and the difficulty of changing those flames and that power, in order to manipulate its sub elements" Lucifer cut her off, continuing her speech as Bloom went silent.
"Why...why me?" Bloom asked after thinking for a few moments.
"I don't know, Bloom, it chooses hosts randomly. But what I can tell you, is that you are more deserving of this power than just about anyone I know. And you are NOT a burden" "How-" "Bloom, love, I can sense emotions" Lucifer cut her off, as Bloom's eyes widened, her emotions portraying fear, embarrassment, horror.
"It's okay Bloom, I'll help you learn this power of yours"
"H-How could you help me? You don't have this-" "Who said I don't? You forget that I am old Bloom, many many many millennia old. And with that, comes a lot of power, some of which is from universes beyond this one, from Great Dragons superior to even yours" Lucifer cut her off once again, as the dragon flames formed in her hands.
"Like-like the Multiverse? I thought that was just a thing from movies!" Bloom said in shock. She remembered watching a few Marvel shows and movies with that in it, but she didn't think it was real!
"Oh it's very real Bloom, afterall, if magic can exist, why can't this?" Lucifer responded with a soft smile, as Bloom looked at her.
"C-Can you teach me?" Bloom asked with a pleading look in her eyes. At this question, Lucifer softly smiled, before replying.
"Of course, anything for one of my students, why don't we get started right now?"
At those words, Bloom's eyes lit up as she nodded rapidly.
The rest of the lunch break was spent learning and teaching, with Bloom not realizing that for the first time since she had come to this school...she was comfortable, and Lucifer was quite pleased with that, for she hoped to grow closer to the teen.
Afterall, she and Alice wanted a large family, and Bloom deserved that family.
Lucifer had one finally thought as their teaching session came to a close.
'Let's just hope she's as open to that idea as Beatrix has been'
