When Alex and Gracier descended to the first floor there were lots of customers present, Lea was busy serving the customers, when she saw the two she waved at them,
”Morning Gracier, Morning Alex, just take a seat I’ll bring your breakfasts soon.”
Lea disappeared into the kitchen soon she came back with their breakfasts.
”Sorry Gracier I’m really busy as you can see, we will spend time together later and have a girl’s talk,” Lea said apologetically before going back into the kitchen to take another customer’s command.
Gracier smiled looking at the busy Lea before looking at Alex as though she was waiting for him before starting to eat. Looking at the impatient Gracier, Alex says,
”Let’s eat.”
“Understood Big brother.”
A few minutes later the two finished their breakfasts and went to their room. Gracier sat on her bed while Alex sat on a chair.
”There is something I want to test,” Alex announced, Gracier nodded her head and stayed still.
‘Appraisal’ Alex murmured after looking at Gracier, immediately a blue window panel containing Gracier’s status appeared before Alex’s eyes.

Alex became surprised when he saw Gracier’s status, the girl is talented, a magician, a Fire magician, even without a Gift she could be trained, it was simply that she wouldn’t be powerful as a gifted magician because the latter has his/her gift to amplify its magic.
Suddenly, Alex’s was drawn toward the Gift session there was [ ] there, not knowing what it means, Alex decided to turn toward the only person who will know and as if she has been waiting for Alex to notice, Silveria finally spoke.
〖Master you have stumbled upon a hidden gem, this girl is gifted and I bet that her gift is not a lesser one,〗
”Really?”
Alex blurted out unconsciously forgetting that Gracier was present, that it was not necessary for him to voice his thoughts for Silveria to heard him.
”Big brother Alex are you okay?” Gracier asked with concern.
”I’m okay Gracier do not worry.” Alex reply waving his hands to calm down the concerned Gracier.
Gracier sighed and sat back on her bed.
Meanwhile, Alex started talking with Silveria, If Gracier was gifted why he didn’t see anything? Alex asked. Silveria replies
〖It’s simply because it is not activated, don’t you remember that before you become aware of your Gift, that Goddess Mea helped you?〗
”I see, now that you talked about it, it’s normal that I didn’t see anything because her Gift was not activated. So, how do we proceed to activate it?” Alex asked.
〖Simple, I’ll do it, however, I need to borrow your body for a few seconds to be able to do it.〗
Alex became surprised when he heard Silveria’s reply. He smiled bitterly,
”You can even do something like that.”
〖Well, it’s impossible without your consent. However, I can do in emergency cases where you’re unconscious to save you. Let’s stop talking about it, Master do you agree or not?〗
”Okay let’s proceed.” Alex finally accepted, letting Silveria possess him. His conscious became blurred and he lost consciousness. Silveria became the one controlling his body.
Alex (Silveria) grinned and looked at Gracier with predatory eyes.
Gracier suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body, she looked at Alex in the eyes and immediately her body trembled, unconsciously she drew back, Gracier felt like a little lamb that was about to be slaughtered by the big bad wolf. She was the feeling that the current Alex was not the one she knew. She glared at the fake Alex.
Unbothered by Gracier’s glare, Alex (Silveria) declared ”Stay still little Gracier, It will be over soon.”
Alex (Silveria) approached the frightened Gracier who back was against the bed frame and extended his arms toward her head. Gracier was trembling.
On the other side Alex who was watching everything from his soul facepalmed. Silveria was acting like a gangster and Alex knew that she was doing it intentionally. He sighed helplessly and wish that she’ll get down with it.
When Alex (Silveria) hand touched Gracier head, Gracier felt like she has been electrocuted, she heard Alex (Silveria) started chanting something in a language she couldn’t comprehend, immediately following Alex’s (Silveria) chant a white coming from his hand entered her body, she felt warm then hot from within her body before falling unconscious.
Alex (Silveria) spat out a sigh, his forehead was drenched in sweat, he was feeling tired.
〖It’s down Master, you just need to wait for her to wake up and you’ll use your Appraisal skill on her to know what her Gift is〗
Silveria explained before letting Alex regained control of his body, immediately after regaining control of his body Alex felt extremely tired so he was forced to sit on the bed beside the now unconscious Gracier.
In her own dimension, Silveria murmured ”To think that this girl was this gifted, to think that it will be her. My master is indeed lucky don’t you think too Big sister?”
Nobody answered Silveria’s question, she sighed before everything turned silent.
….
Meanwhile, when Alex regained control of his body, Gracier who was fallen unconscious was in another world.
This world was totally red, no to be more accurate this world was entirely made of flame, the temperature was extremely hot akin to the sun temperature, strangely Gracier didn’t feel hot even while amidst this world made of flame.
Suddenly, the world trembled a gigantic shadow appeared, it was a giant red dragon over fifty meters long, when this red dragon appeared the flames in this world became docile like a child that had seen their mother.
Gracier’s body trembled, she didn’t felt fear when she looked at the red dragon, instead, she felt awe and excited, yeah excited Gracier doesn’t know why she was excited, however, she was, she couldn’t explain it.
The red dragon golden pupils observed Gracier with interest before chuckling, instantly the red dragon body shrunk back, until she became a human, an extremely beautiful woman, her beauty was out of this world. The now transformed red dragon had long red hair and beautiful golden pupils, she was dressed in a long red robe, she had a pair of curved red horns on her head.
The dragon Lady smiled looking at the Gracier who was opened and closed her mouth repeatedly looking at her in disbelief.
”This queen is sure that you will be a wonderful host.”
The dragon lady says before crossing her arms and added.
”Oh! Forgive this Lady to not have introduced herself. My Ignia, a Fire God Dragon, no Fire Dragon Goddess would be more accurate. Nice to meet you Gracier, my host. Take care of me from now on.”
Gracier became more surprised when she Ignia introducing herself. It took her some time to proceed with what Ignia had said.
Finally, Gracier talked albeit with stutters,
”Likewise, I.. I’m Gracier.”
Ignia was happy when she saw that even under her pressure and even after hearing her name and rank Gracier didn’t lower her head.
”Good, you and I become contracted, you’ll use my power from now on. Time’s up. I’ll send you back. Before that let me give you a little gift.”
Ignia declared, Gracier didn’t have time to ask what she means by saying that when she was assaulted by intense pain in her left eye.
”Goodbye Gracier, see you soon.”
Gracier was not able to hear the last part of Ignia’s message before her body crumbled, the pain still assaulting her left eye.
Once alone, Ignia sighed and mumbled.
”So, it’s a time, no wonder you wake me up ******, thank you. This girl will help your host. It seems that your Big sister hasn’t woke up yet. Sigh! We shall wait.”
Everything crumbled afterward disappearing as though everything that happened earlier was an illusion.
….
Back to reality, a few seconds earlier Alex noticed that Gracier started shaking as if she was feeling intense pain, suddenly her closed left eye started bleeding.
”What’s happening Sil, why Gracier’s left eye is bleeding,” Alex asked panickily.
〖Calm down Master. It’s nothing serious, in contrary it’s a wonderful thing, wait you’ll understand soon.〗
Silveria says, refusing to explain any further. Alex sighed and looked at the now calm Gracier.
Suddenly, Gracier’s body shook, slowly she stood up from her bed and her eyes opened, instantly Alex felt suffocated as though a giant height has been put on him.
Alex was dumbfounded, Gracier has changed, the pressure he was feeling was coming from her, no to be more accurate it was coming from her left eye, her left eye who previously had the same color as her hair, red, had now changed into golden color, it’s beautiful and from this golden left eye, Alex could feel immense pressure.
Gracier smiled, an extremely beautiful smile and say ”I’m back Big brother, Gracier can now help you in your adventure.”
