"It's been a long time, young. You've been through a lot in all of his years. However, you are now an assassin worthy of learning the story about your young Auditore line." declares the sea serpent.
"Sir, you told me to come back and see you when I am an assassin, but I don't know why. I questioned my father and uncle, but they didn't want to tell me. I thought you wanted to teach me. And practice. But I didn't know it was to talk about my family because I could ask my uncle or look in my dad's books. " Saibus retorts.
"Certainly, all of this is true, but by doing this, you will not learn the history of your lineage and what the blood that flows in your veins brings to you. In addition, it is always important to know the past so as not to repeat the same mistakes. Finally, you can call me Seaia. " Seaia replies to Saibus with a hoarse voice.
"In that case, tell me the story of my family, but first, I would like to ask why you didn't look the same as when I came a few years ago," Saibus said questioningly.
"I am different because I am getting old, which causes my decline, and therefore, I have gradually returned to my initial appearance, which is the one you see. But no more diversions. Let's get to the reason for your presence here." Seaia answers.
"Let's start at the beginning, see a long time ago, even before the conjunction of the spheres, there were no men, no evil creatures. There were only elves and magic. Magic. This resulted in several beings composed entirely of magic that did not need sleep or eating. These beings were called aesirs. These beings could bend magic as they wished. It was the aesirs that taught the elves to use magic. "
"Then a cataclysm that shook the world happened. This cataclysm is an outpouring of magic that ended in an explosion that created portals worldwide. From these portals, creatures that did not exist came. These creatures fell into place. It consisted of ghouls and vampires, and among these creatures were humans. The appearance of the portals is not the only consequence of this explosion of magic. The other result is the extinction of the aesirs. Beings made of magic resonated with this explosion which made them undergo heavy repercussions, the dysfunction of the magic which composes them. This dysfunction resulted in the death of all the aesirs except myself, "finished Seaia.
Seaia finishes her little monologue and lets Saibus absorb the tale he has just told. Saibus thinks for two minutes before asking Seaia something.
"Seaia, if you are a wish, how is it that you are still alive, and what does my family have with you?"
"To answer your first question, I am alive because of a fluke when young. When the spheres conjoined, I was putting seal here with some very advanced yrden magic that the witchers use. I was trying to create a new one. Water magic, the seal protected me from malfunction for years, but it eroded over time. The residue from the explosion infiltrated the seal and messed up my spell. Fortunately, this was much less important than my fellows, allowing me to live. What binds me to your family is simple. It is I who taught your ancestor the magic. "
"Your ancestor came to build his house here and found me. After talking, I agreed to teach him magic because the guard protects the area and prevents intruders from entering this part of the city—the forest where I reside. Then as the generations passed, the knowledge about the conjunction of the spheres was lost, so each generation of the Auditore came to me to bring them inside. Now that you know this story come closer. May I use the magic of the mind to impart the rest of the knowledge that will take me weeks to give to you? "
Saibus looks at Seaia warily. Mind magic is powerful magic that can do countless things, like telekinesis, telepathy, crowd control ...
"Wait, you said Auditore, but my family name is Blood."

"Blood, Auditore are one family, just a different name.
Seaia sees Saibus still suspicious.
"Don't worry, I understand your hesitation, but I won't touch anything in your head. You can trust me. There is a deal in the contract saying I can't touch the minds of young Auditore." Seaia understands Saibus's reluctance. After all, he's not the first to shy away from the use of mind magic. But unfortunately, only the idiots or the uneducated do not understand the dangers of this magic.
Saibus has finally approached Seaia. He stops on the edge of the earth platform. Seaia utters a spell that Saibus understands only a few words: Transmission, Knowledge, and Spirit.
Saibus felt a new connection forming with Seaia. The relationship is different from the one he has with Regiis. The connection he has with the latter is mutual. Saibus feels what Regiis feels and vice versa. They can also see through each other's eyes. Saibus also has control over this connection. It may or may not close the connection. Unlike the link that Seaia has just established, which is one way from Seaia to Saibus with the ability to transmit things.
Saibus felt a flow of information enter his head. The flow continued for several minutes before it stopped, and the connection was severed.
Saibus, contrary to what he thought, did not have a headache or other side effects. It shows Seaia's mastery of the magic of the mind.
"Here is young Auditore. I gave you all the information you needed and the water magic I invented. This magic is a sub-element of the latter, called blood magic. With that being done, the contract is honored. You won't have to settle here if you wish. You are the last generation of Auditors that I see before you die. " Ends Seaia, who immerses herself, having said her words to Saibus.
Saibus looks at the surface of the water for a long time trying to organize the information he comes to receive. Then, finally, he realized that Seaia had already made a first sort and classified knowledge by categories, including magic, history ...
After this verification, he left the cave. Outside, the soft white light of the moon reflected the forest's trees on the lake's water and the waterfall.
Saibus looked up at the moon before heading to his house for the night.
