Hey,what’s up?I read my first chap and it did’t convey my real image of the story(Probably because I never wrote in my life),but I will try to get better, so please,help me pointing out any mistakes I make.Being that grammatical or not giving the right feeling for the chars.Thank you!!
Heads up 1: If it is in italic,is a thought
Lance was patiently waiting in the kitchen, but cautiously thinking about what would make his father become worried like that. For Lance, his father, Drake, was the best! He is the strongest Hunter of the village, without counting in the Elders.
He was in deep thought about what would make that type of man, like his father, to not play with his daughter, that is so precious to him.
Then a thought struck his head.
[Lance]:”Maybe it is related to the people that came looking for healing from Mother…”
But even being a bright kid, he couldn’t analyze all the circumstances. The North Is a dangerous place, because of the creatures and the weather, but there is another danger and that’s the people that live there.
Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and others sub-races, like the Beastmen would be found on the North. With that much variety is obvious that would appear conflicts. Besides the inter-racial conflicts, there is intra-racial disputes. That’s the dispute for the control of the villages, and that has a motive and it’s not power.Being a place that has monsters everywhere it would be impossible to defend a territory with men power alone. It would take far to many people for that.
But there’s a simpler way of defending a territory… That’s the use of magical barriers to stop the advance of monsters. This is the cause of 90% of inter or intra racial disputes in the area. People are looking for these places with great magical essence to form a magical barrier and to be protected.
It is unfortunate, but these places with great magical essence are rare, and because of that, a lot of blood spilling comes from disputes.
Of course, there is beings that can destroy the magical barriers, but these types of creature don’t usually come out of the wilderness.
With all these circumstances, Lance, couldn’t make out what was really going on.
After 10 minutes or so Drake an Sylvia entered the Kitchen.
Drake spoke out and explained what was going in the wilderness for his son, with a serious expression.
Then, pointed out with even more serious face:
[Drake]:”Lance,with all that said. Do you still want to participate in the ritual?”
Lance quickly replied:
[Lance]:”Of course!”
Lance was a smart kid, he understood what his father told him, he was afraid, but he still was a kid! And had his father like a idol. Being the son of Drake Tacet, people expected great deeds from him. He wasn’t worried about those people, but he wanted to become strong to make his father proud of him.
With a small smile on his face Drake said:
[Drake]:”Then it is time to start your training”
Sylvia was with a preoccupied expression all the time, because her baby was putting himself at risk.
[Sylvia]”Honey,it is no problem if you don’t want to go anymore,okay? Mommy and Daddy will understand.”
Lance said with a resolute expression:
[Lance]:”I know, mom. But I will go anyway.”
[Sylvia]”Okay, sweetheart… Anyway, let’s start your magical affinity test”
[Lance]:”Yes,please!”
There are 5 basic elements in the universe, that are: Earth, Water, Fire, Lighting and Wind.
Don’t be fooled… magic is way more complex than that. Magic can be used from moving vehicles and opening portals to read and dominate minds.
This test consists of the most basic type: A rock would be embedded with magic and be put in the hand of the tested.The corresponding possible results of these:
The rock raises its temperature= Fire affinity
The rock gets heavy= Earth affinity
The rock shines= Lightning affinity
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
The rock lower its temperature= Water affinity
The rock gets lighter= Wind affinity
Being a basic test it doesn’t show the magnitude of the affinity or if it is manipulation/reinforcement magic aptitude.
Manipulation is the ability of transform and manipulate the elements in the nature.
Reinforcement is the ability reinforce the body with elemental energy, like the name says.
The Reinforcement type is the most common.80% of population that has magic affinity are from that type. That’s ‘cause to reinforce the body isn’t a difficult thing. Even with low talent and compression in magic, most people are able to do basic reinforcement. But,like was said, don’t be fooled…Magic is deep, don’t underestimate the Reinforcement type. The power level will only depend on the ability and dedication of the person.
Basic Reinforcement consists in these effects:
Earth: Better defense
Wind: Better dexterity(Agility)
Fire: Better stamina
Water: Auto healing(Regeneration)
Lightning: Raise in strength
On other note, If a individual don’t have a certain affinity there are ways of making you able to use other elements, and that’s the use of a contract with a spirit or a familiar with that affinity, but that’s a subject for another time. Besides that, magical researchers found ways to mimic the Reinforcement type magic, but it is not cheap.
The Manipulation aptitude is a real head start in the road of understanding magic. To manipulate the element around you is a great advantage in combat for a mage, being able to attack from a distance. Mages with manipulation type magic are very valuable in times of war.Besides that, Manipulation lets them use the element around them and to form weapons with them. They are know as the ultimate magicians.
In resume, Reinforcement mages are know as Paladins, because of the lack of ranged magic attacks they use their abilities to improve their close combat techniques. And mages who can use Manipulation are know as “Sorcerer”,because of their ability to manipulate magic.
Sylvia gave Lance the enchanted rock and said with a smile;
[Sylvia]”Honey, do like I showed you last time”
Sylvia and Drake taught Lance the principles of magic and combat since he was 6.So he was quite familiar in how to
control his magical essence.
Lance put his right hand on the stone….
Immediately the rock started glowing.
[Drake]”Hahahaha, you have lighting affinity like your father! I have low talent, but will try my best to pass to you all I kown” Said Drake with a smile in his face.
Suddenly, Lance started feeling pain in hand and removed quickly!
Sylvia and Drake were startled.
[Sylvia]”What happened,honey?” asked with a worried face
[Lance]”It was nothing,mother.I felt my hand in pain because of the heat.
Drake and Sylvia were surprised. A dual element affinity is rare and, probably less than 0,1% of mages had it .
[Drake]”Let me see it.”
Drake went and lifted the rock wich was about 20 cm.
He couldn’t make a sound…
Sylvia got worried and asked:
[Sylvia]”What happened?!?”
[Drake]”He… he has Fire affinity too.” Said in a surprised tone.
[Sylvia]”That’s terrific!! My baby is a genius!”Said in joyful tone.
[Dake]”That´s not all… catch it.”
Sylvia hearing her husband saying that prepared to catch the rock.When she received…came the surprise.
[Sylvia]”It is…light.”
[Drake]”He has wind affinity too!”Said Drake in a joyful tone.
