As they were riding in the village square, the sky was getting brighter, and the number of people walking on the roads was increasing. Some horses even rode past them.

As Ethan was riding the horse, he kept wishing Aiden would get to awaken a power element, his last hope. If he awakens a power element, then he would most likely go to an academy meant for training benders.

..And that has been solved, one of his family members went to an academy specialized in training benders...one of his family became a warrior.

And every single one of them in the carriage was also wishing for the same thing, they wanted Aiden to awaken an affinity. From Emma, to Alora, to Hazel.

..But they've noticed one thing.

Aiden doesn't look anxious at all. He was supposed to be anxious considering he doesn't know if he has the mana core in him or not...if he'd get to awaken a power element or not.

..Not even a single opt of anxiousness was on his face.

And truly, Aiden wasn't anxious. As said, he knows he'd awaken an ability, but he doesn't know which one of them he was gonna awaken. And he doesn't know if he'd possess any of the minor abilities after awakening a power element.

He was just hoping Oliver and Ava would awaken today, he wanted to see their happy moment. And this would only happen if they come on time, so he was hoping they'd come on time.

Ethan kept riding the horse until they arrived at the village where the Xeterra Temple was situated, where the awakening was gonna take place. And they could see a lot of people heading toward a certain direction, that's where the temple was situated.

Some were going there on foot, while some were riding a horse in that direction. And each of them was with kids, those are the kids that would be partaking in the awakening.

Ethan began riding the horse in that direction. He rode the horse until they arrived at the compound of the Xeterra Temple, and there were lots of other horses on the compound. He parked the horse and then came down from it.

..And look, there was a queue already...but the awakening hadn't started yet.

Emma, Alora, Hazel, and Aiden came out of the carriage. And the moment Hazel's legs landed on the compound, she remembered coming here for her awakening years ago.

Everything just started crashing into her head, she recalled everything. She immediately glanced at the purple-colored temple, glanced at the queue, then began glancing at the compound.

The same thing that happened to Hazel happened to Aiden as well. He remembered coming here for his sister's awakening years ago. He was only one year and some months old when he came here, but he recalled everything.

..Remember, he had always been an adult in a young body.

Ethan wasn't the only official here, there were some officials whose children would also be awakening today...they were very little. And due to that, some knights could be seen around.

All the officials whose kids would be awakening were high-ranked and average-ranked, so each of them possesses knights.

As Aiden was walking on the compound, he was glancing around to see if he'll sight either Oliver or Ava. They said they'd try to be here on time so they'll take part in the first awakening.

He didn't see any of them, but he saw some students in his classroom in the queue already, they came on time.

'I wonder which one of them would get to awaken an ability and who wouldn't'. Aiden thought to himself.

And the next thought that ran through his mind was, 'Look at that queue, I wonder when Oliver and Ava would arrive, I want to see them awaken their power elements today'.

..The Dankworth family was standing on the compound currently, then Ethan glanced at them all and said.

"This is how it would be done, since all of us can't stay in the queue together, I and Aiden would stay in the queue, while you guys would stay aside and watch".

After making that utterance, he glanced at Emma and voiced out,

"Do you agree with that? Or should there be a change in the plan?".

..He needed to get his wife's consent, who knows, maybe she wanted to be the one that would stay with Aiden in the queue.

Emma nodded her head and said, "Absolutely, I agree with it".

"Okay, we'll do just that then". Ethan's voice resounded again.

Up till now, they haven't noticed anxiety on Aiden's face. Every single one of them was anxious if Aiden would get to awaken an ability or not. Hazel and Alora were anxious, but their anxiousness wasn't as strong as Emma and Ethan's own.

..But the person that was to take part in the awakening doesn't seem to be anxious at all...they were a little surprised by it.

Ethan didn't greet any of the officials, and he didn't care about that. They didn't greet him, and he didn't bother to greet them. Ethan and Aiden began walking toward the queue, while the rest of the Dankworth family began moving aside.

As they were walking toward the queue, Aiden glanced back a little, and he sighted Oliver and his family...and he became glad at that moment. One of his friends has finally arrived.

And it didn't take too long before Oliver noticed Aiden as well, and the both of them smiled at each other. Right now, Ethan and Aiden had reached the queue, and Oliver and his mother were walking toward the queue.

Oliver and his mum were at the back of Aiden and his father. Aiden glanced back at Oliver again, and both of them smiled at each other once again. The urge to converse with each other was so strong at that moment, but they just held themselves.

..They decided to keep mute, they might converse later.

Ava and her family arrived at the compound of the Xeterra Temple as well along with her family, but Aiden and Oliver didn't notice her.

She sighted them already in the queue, and a smile appeared on her face at that moment...her two friends had already arrived.
