Legon Ascension Read Online Free Page A

Sasha found herself wondering what the Elf capital was going to be like, and what her parents were doing right now. Did they know about the royal guard? Did they think they were dead? Sasha wondered if Arkin could get a message to them, then pushed the thought away. It wasn’t worth the risk. What if it got intercepted? What would she say anyway? “Hey mother, hey father, I’m a lady of a great Elvin house now. Hope all is well, love and kisses.” She shook her head, chuckling at the thought. It didn’t take much longer for them to leave, and when they did she felt an unexpected surge of excitement; they were doing it, this was actually happening…

    Legon made his way to Iselin’s apartment feeling excited. Since their arrival at the dome a few weeks ago, Iselin would spend time in the afternoons working with Legon and Sasha. Now that Telunone was running the dragon dome, Sydin had time to work with Legon and Sasha. Most days Sasha went with Sydin for one-on-one training and Legon with Iselin.  
    Iselin answered the door and Legon’s heart gave a slight skip. Her ears easily being able to hear the sound, she smiled.  
    “Good to see you too, come on in,” Iselin said warmly.
    He was past feeling awkward whenever she noticed something like this; it was just part of being an Elf. It also helped that every time he saw her he was able to see her cheeks flush a bit when she heard his heart, so he thought he was good. Iselin’s loose white skirt wafted as she dashed into her bedroom. She was back a moment later and seemed a bit shorter to him than normal. He cocked an eyebrow.
    “Oh, I’m not wearing heels. We are going for a walk in the valley today, so hence the skirt. The normal ones just aren’t as comfortable for sitting in a field.” Iselin said, playing with the white pleats.  
    “So what are we going to be doing today?” Legon asked.
    Iselin smiled widely. “We are going to make you a proper Elf.” She winked at him.
    Legon smiled. “Oh wow, already? Should I have brought a bottle of Poti?”
    It took Iselin a moment before she smacked his arm and laughed. “No, not like that,  
    you deviant. You’re going to learn how to make plants grow.”
    They made their way out of the dome and down its side, moving toward the far end of the valley, away from the humans and Elves. Legon was starting to get used to the heat and the sun felt good as they trapped across the valley to a small hill. Iselin sat down on the top of the hill. He did the same, sitting next to her. Legon couldn’t help but wonder at how graceful Iselin was, even when plopping down on the ground. She stretched out her legs and ran her hand over the grass. As she did this, little pink and white wildflowers burst into bloom. Legon marveled at how little effort the gesture seemed to take.
    Iselin spoke. “All Venefica can make plant life grow but not to the same level that we Elves can, and not so easily. Also, all Elves can do this whether or not they can use magic.” She placed her hand on the ground and a little shoot of grass grew and widened into the shape of a cup that she then picked up. “But altering plants is not as easy. It takes time to learn and only Elves are capable of truly mastering it. Iumenta have dedicated centuries to the task, but cannot attain the same level you will within a few months.”
    “Why is that? I thought the Iumenta didn’t want to control plants like we do,” Legon said.
    “They don’t, but over time after they lost the ability they found that there are times when they need it. For example, you know that the dragon dome makes energy and that’s what powers the crystals, right?”  
    Legon nodded his head, showing he knew.
    Iselin went on. “Well, the Iumenta domes are stone and ceramic, like all their buildings. The crystals in these buildings need energy, so they grow a kind of algae that they can harness energy from to charge the crystals.” Iselin placed her hand on the ground
