Rebirth of the Phoenix_

Chapter 5: Routine



1 year and 3 months later, a month before Luis 7th birthday.

Luis was disturbed from his dream by his fathers voice "Luis! get up dinners gonna be ready soon." His fathers voice came from outside his room sounding firm but familiar.

Luis didn't want to leave the softness of his bed just yet but this was already the third time he called him. Reluctantly he got up

Aftwe waking up Luis went to the bathroom washed his face, brushed his teeth, and then went and, took a shower.

Luis now being 6 years old was around 3 feet 6 inches tall. He had short black hair, very bright brown eyes, Luis was very light skinned , and he was also neither chubby nor slim he was fit for his age.

As Luis was taking his shower he was humming the song he heard on the last village festival, he was excited since tonight there would be another village festival between the 7 neighbouring villlages.

By the time Luis was done showering breakfast was already ready his father was pouring some tea and his mom was putting some fruits on the table.

Luis sat down, ate some bread and looked at his mother he asked in a curios tone.

"Mama, how much longer are you gonna have big stomach?" he asked, his words muffled as he said it while eating.

Noah then said in a sharp tone. "Luis, I told your that's not what you say did? When people are pregnant you should ask them, 'How much longer will you be pregnant?' Not about how much longer will you have a big stomach."

Luis gulped. "Sorry, Mama."

Elena chuckled. "It's alright, Luis just don't say that to strangers it's considered rude. Also in Just two more months, you'll have a baby brother or sister to play with maybe even both."

Luis eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really? Can they come to festivals with me in the future?"

Noah smiled. " yes but not for this year, but maybe next year."

After breakfasts Luis had his morning aura training with his dad, he would have this 4 times a week today they say outside under a tree on a mat.

"Alright, Luis. Let's do the same as always focus on your breathing try to guide your aura to atleast 2 parts of your body and see how stable you can be while moving those parts of your body."

Luis was now able to focus on his aura easier even if he was thinking about other thinks such as the festival or what to eat he would still be able to focus on the aura. He was also able to make some movements even though they were very stiff and it take a lot of effort for him to move while using aura it was impressive for his age.

His father though was impressed by something else thinking inwardly "Luis's quantity of aura is slightly more than kids his age. One of the ways aura capacity increases is by continuous use and with his aura helping his body grow stronger in areas with the Phoneix essence it has helped his aura grow, but what's good is unlike most people who have to slowly learn to gather their aura in one spot from their entire body and then learn to move small bits of it, his aura is already gathered mostly in his chest, but it's not a bad thing as it can help him progress. Still he should have more aura to live when they Phoenix try's reincarnating though him."

Speaking out loud

"Okay Luis In about four months, we'll start working on increasing your aura capacity. But for now let's keep working on improving no your control."

Luis had asked many times what the training would be but his father would keep telling him to be patient.

After the mediation ended Luis got ready to go to school. It would only happens 3 times a week, Luis didn't partially love them but he did not hate them either as he could play with his friends and watch the older kids use aura, kids from the other villages also came to Luis's village for the classe.

Today in class one older girl with blue hair was showing her ability as demonstration for blessing. She used her ability too form mist that cooled the classroom and also cooled down everyone's drinks for them it was very useful.

Luis had heard about how she got the blessing, she had saved a mid-tier snow fox cub, the creature appreciated this and had given her its blessing. Luis wanted to see the fox but the creature decided it was gonna go with its family and the village also had rules to not make creatures stay if they did not want to if they didn't like the climate or if they wanted to leave with their family. His mom did tell him that the girl was lucky because if the adult snow fox would have seen her, it might have killed her sensing that it would have been dangerous for a village to know its position or that they might spot its kids and try to kidnap them for its blessing.

Luis sighed, wondering when the lessons would finally focus more fun stuff like more about blessings or aura because his parents had already taught him half the things they learned.

After school Luis was excited because he would be going to the festival with his neighbours because his mom said she needed to rest today and his dad was taking care of her but this meant Luis would be able to eat more snacks as his parents won't be there to stop him.

"Ready, Luis?" the woman asked, smiling down at him.

The neighbours he was going with were named Rico and Mira two older kids around 18 years old who were the son and daughter of their neighbours(their neighbours were all surviving members of the Phoenix clan).

Luis was very exited while on the walk towards the village holding the festival, he knew today was gonna be an amazing day.
