Feel the gentleness of a winding air, the warmth of a shining ray from the sun, the twirping bird on a tree branch, and the beauty nature of my surrounding.
Trees everywhere, bushes with berries, fruits hanging in a small trees. The road to somewhere it leads is very steep, the resonance of flowing river reaching her ears.
Resting under the tree, leaning on a trunk, and comformtably sleeping.
A young girl wearing a white coat made out of firm fillaments is sleeping under the tree, as soon as the sun beams through her closed eyes, her hands moved and laid it to her brows to block the ray.
She stretches her arms upward, and her legs. She yawn as well at the same time.
She stood up slowly and stretches her body again.
“Sigh, did I slept long…?”
Asking herself. Truth is that she slept for five hours, but what she thought is that she slept for three hours. She can’t track the time since she doesn’t have the device to tell her.
So why is this girl sleeping under the tree, and how did she end up here?
Let’s throwback!
--
Yesterday, was a day for Magical Possession Test, it is a settled schedule given by the Mage Organization. There are actually 242 people who were subjected to the test, that includes that girl as well.
The girl was the 232rd testee. That time, when it was her turn to determine her possession, she stepped upon the vast room. Where the magical cube situated upon the surface of a small table at center of the room. The reason why the room is vast, is because of a drastic measures which there might be an incident when the magical cube may explode.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
As for safety, they built a wall made out of a rigid textiles collected from wild golems inside the cave somewhere outside the country, there is also a glass placed as a window where the other side is a room. That room is where the evaluators are situated.
Evaluators are people who appraise one’s magical possession. They evaluate strength, aptitude, and type of an individual.
When they evaluated the girl’s possession, the evaluators found nothing, they said that it was completely blank.
And it was obvious as well, as the magic cube did not react when the girl touched it.
As a result of evaluation, the girl was magicless.
When her parents and sibling found out her result, she was treated violently, her siblings are cursing her.
“You’re not a child of this family anymore. You’re an embarassment!” said her father.
“You f***ing girl, you deserve to be executed…” said, her sibling.
“Get your a** out of here, you don’t belong here!” said, her mother.
Having no magic in this country is unacceptable, and they receive penalty as a result.
However, because the province where she lives has a governor that is merciful, she was not executed, but was exiled.
As she was being treated violently by her siblings, the soldiers arrived at their place.
The purpose/reason of their arrival is because the girl was scheduled to be exiled in the same day of Magical Possession Test.
The soldiers forcefully hold the girl tight in her arms and carried her, while her parents and siblings are still giving her a penetrating words that hurt her feelings, until she was brought inside the magical carriage, the soldier now treated her friendly.
The girl wasn’t expecting that, but she was crying when the soldier told him “It must have been hard for you… Maya Mirahelios… You don’t have to worry, the governor of this province will not order us to execute you. But giving you a chance to live freely outside the country.”
The penalty of expulsion.
Before going to the other side of the gate, the governor order the soldier to give her three days worth of food placed inside the magic bag, a sword for fighting wild creatures, and clothings.
Though the girl does not know how to use sword, but she still accepted it.
And onwards, she bid farewell to her home country, and went out to the other side.
The outside country.
The chances of surviving here in this unclaimed land, is low.
