SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
1185 Hero Analysis [Pt 2]
Even now, not much was known about Constellations.
They were the mysterious entities that hovered above our reality, governing distinct aspects of existence.
As the guardians of a tree, they were directly beneath Aether. However, due to their nature as Familiars, and their conceptual limitations, Constellations often required individuals to carry out their will.
In essence, Constellation Hosts.
Constellation Hosts served as proxies for their respective Constellations, and the latter usually enacted their will viacriously through those they deemed worthy of their power.
And, well…
… They also just enjoyed exisiting through those their Hosts.

"If Zephyr was chosen by a Constellation, then it would make more sense, considering how powerful he was…" I began, my eyes not focusing on anything in particular as I narrowed my gaze.
"The fact that Zephyr was 15 years old when he ended the 15-year-old war shows there's a correlation between the two. He was probably chosen for that specific purpose… or maybe that's too much of a stretch. But when I consider how you two haven't been able to reach out to your Constellations, even now, the coincidences seem to pile up considerably."
I began staring at everyone around me, and it seemed they were already gaining on the theory being pieced together in my mind.
"If Legris targeted the Hero for the sole reason that he was a Constellation Host, that also means that the energy fragment he held is related to that as well."
The more I spoke, the more sense it all made to me.
'The sheer amount of energy from that fragment doesn't surprise me now that I know that it's from a Constellation.'
"You think Legris is targeting Constellation Hosts, don't you?" Beruel suddenly spoke up, and I nodded instantly.
"That's right. It all adds up. I always asked myself what kind of power Legris would be after, but now that I think about it… the energy gotten from Constellations should be far more potent than regular energy."
It was a lot more efficient to go down that route, and knowing Legris, I was sure he was after the most effective means to achieve his goals.
What the true end of his goals were, though… I still had no clue.
"You're right about it being weird that we can't access Constellations at this time. That means they're involved somewhat." Ana murmured.
'Indeed…' My thoughts trailed, and now that I thought of it, there was something else.
Wasn't the most efficient way to harness energy directly getting it from the Constellations? Yet, he was still using such a roundabout way.
That solidified it for me.
"I don't think Legris is powerful enough to face a Constellation now. That's probably why he's going after the Hosts."
Legris wasn't holding back in our fight, at least not too much. He wasn't as powerful as I had suspected him to be.
'The problem is that he's too elusive.'
We couldn't find a way to get rid of him no matter how hard we tried.
"What do you think we should do now?" Maria, who was beside me, asked with her calm tone.
It took me a while to think about an alternative, but I realized that there was only one reasonable solution to our problem.
'We are currently stranded anyway. I see no alternative…'
"The best way we can go about this is to discuss with the Constellations. They're the ones this involves, and we're currently at our wits end."
The moment I said this, a few skeptical gazes greeted me neatly instantly.
"We have already established that problem, haven't we? We can't communicate with them. That's the issue." Kuzon sighed as he spoke.
The look on his face told me that he expected me to have thought of that already, yet I ended up speaking like I didn't.
"Hold on, Kuzon. I'm sure Jared has a reason why he brought that up." Edward responded with his usual confident smile.
The moment he said this, I nodded.
"Indeed. I realize it's a problem. But that only means we have to solve it."
Kuzon's slightly disappointed expression slowly died out, and I could see the skepticism dying out.
"We would be more productive seeking out the Constellations than we would be in searching for Legris. Plus, unlike in our hunt for the latter, we have concrete means we can use to find the Constellations." My eyes rested on Kuzon and Edward as I concluded my proposition.
Silence pervaded our midst, and after a while of no one saying anything, Serah, who had been uncharacteristically silent for a whole, finally spoke.
"How do you plan on doing that—talking to the Constellations, I mean."
During the decorum, I had been thinking of that very thing as well. There seemed to be one effective method I could think of, but it was one that I wasn't sure would work.
"[Resonance]" I responded.
More confused than skeptical faces greeted me instantly.
"When you use [Resonance] and connect to another person who uses it as well, you can venture into the astral realm of one another. I've done it with Neron, Lemi and a few others."
The idea here was to use [Resonance] on either Kuzon or Edward—perhaps even both, for good measure. I explained the concept to them as simply as I could, and their responses were encouraging.
If I was lucky, I could access a Constellation and speak to them.
"Their bond with the both of you still exist, so that means I can at least pick up traces of their position."
The reason why I was so skeptical of this procedure working was because I had never attempted going in this deep before. If the Constellations offered too much resistance to my [Resonance], then it would be for nothing.
"There's only one way to find out."
******
Once we all decided to give it a try, three of us—Kuzon, Edward, and I—sat in a circle and closed our eyes.
"Are you ready?" I asked them.
"Yes." The two responded at once.
The moment I heard them, I initiated the process of [Resonance].
'This had better work!'
