"The days passed quickly. I can't believe I am already 6 years old. I am brought up with a lot of love, care and affection by my parents. I Lexus Pristine am successfully 6 years old. I don't know what or whom I was in my past life but I bet I was not this happy as I am right now. This night at 12 A.M I get my magical elixir and I can manifest my core and cangetmy own power. I can't wait to do it." These were Lexus's thoughts before his 6th birthday. He was also curious to know what his brother Oscar's powers would be.
With those thoughts in mind, Lexus goes to sleep. As he was curious he set an alarm to 12 A.M to see how the elixir would appear. At 12 A.M the alarm rings and he wakes up but sees nothing special happening. He waited for few more minutes and went to his mom and dad and told them about the issue. Laura tells him with a smile that it appears in the persons hand when they are not conscious about it.
Lexus didn't understood what she was talking about then Laura tells him to go and sleep and don't worry about it. Lexus was worried that he would not get his powers so he was not able to sleep well. As he was just a kid, his sleep kicked in and after thinking for a few minutes he slept. He woke up in the morning and thought "What? When did I sleep?" Then he tries to rub his eyes and notices that there is a bottle in his hand. He understood that it was the elixir.
He looks around and realizes that Oscar was not in his room. He goes running to Laura and says "Mom! Look what I got in my hand. Can I consume it? And by the way where is Oscar?" Suddenly Oscar comes into the room and beats Lexus on his back with his new weapon which was a spear. Lexus gets confused on how Oscar got that and then he realizes that Oscar has already manifested his core. Laura and Caleb gets shocked at Oscar and they were not able to utter a word.
Lexus asks Oscar what his power is and Oscar says that it is The Light. Then Lexus says that "Are you crazy? There are only six elements. And Light is not one of them. He turns around and sees Laura and Caleb who were completely shocked. He asks "Mom! Dad! What happened to you guys?" Then Caleb replies saying "There is no such magical power as light. How did he get it? Is he cursed or something? Lexus drink your elixir." Lexus does as he was told to and consumes the elixir then suddenly a burst of aura came out from him fainting his mom and dad. He doesn't get what was happening and tries to wake his mom and dad. He asks Oscar to bring some water and he sprinkles the water on them and they wake up.
They were terrified at their sight. Lexus's core was pitch black. They asked him to summon his weapon and he asked them how to do it and then Oscar said "Hey dumb brother just think about it in your mind to summon it." As Lexus did it he summoned a kunai with a chain to it and it looked cool. Oscar laughed at his weapon and said "HA! You got a puny little knife." Lexus said "This is what I exactly wanted : A short, strong and sharp weapon which can be used in fast attacks it would really help me."
Oscar's core was purely white and his spear was also white with a yellow shade. Whereas Lexus's kunai was black with a violet shade. Lexus asks his mom and dad about his powers and they say that as Oscar's power was light, Lexus's power should have been The Shadow. Lexus remembered the thing he read in the book and said that there was nothing mentioned about the 2 other elements. Caleb said that he was confused about the same thing.
After some time they calm themselves and start to search about the new elements in books. Although they searched for the whole day, they couldn't find anything. So Caleb tells the kids to not to reveal their powers to any outsiders and when they are admitted in ASHFORD, they can learn the tricks by making sure that anyone does not notice them. As there was no proper information about the new powers he told them to stay calm and control their powers as they seemed too powerful.
Both of them nodded yes to their father and goes to bed. Lexus asks Oscar how he knew about manifesting his core as he did it before Lexus. Oscar tells him that he just consumed the elixir as soon as he noticed it and he got his powers. He didn't know about the existence of new element as he didn't read any book. So he was not surprised at the new element. Saying that he slept. Lexus felt sad as he was not sure if he could achieve his dream of becoming a celestial leader as there were only six elements and only six elemental leaders.
He also felt happy that he would be the first person to use the power of shadow and he thought maybe he can become a celestial leader by becoming strong and mastering his abilities in that shadow power. Thinking that he sleeps.
