Ancient tales and myths of legends bounced off the walls of Blackmore residence, boasting of unrivaled might and bravery, the sounds drifted into the silent darkness of the night. A boy barely of 5 years lay tucked into his bed listening to the grand stories of the past with wide eyes and an awestruck expression. The woman told him of the stories that boasted about the might and power of these people, claiming that they were able to bend fire and earth to their will, with some that are even capable of merging the two elements to form another kind of terror for their foes, lava.
“Mummy, who are these people?”
“They are our ancestors my dear, haven’t I told you before? We are renowned magi of the earth and fire elements. We are widely famed throughout this continent as our children are blessed with the capability of being magi.”
“So does this mean I will definitely become a magus later? What about the warriors? Why can’t I be a warrior? The warriors are tougher and are as powerful as the magi as well, right?”
“My dear child, I already told you that our family is blessed with children having talent of being magi, it is very unlikely that you won’t become a magus. We are lucky to be blessed with children with such high potential being magus as there are very few people who can fulfil the conditions of being a magus. I’m not saying that warriors aren’t as powerful as magi, but they aren’t as valued by a kingdom as they are more commonly found. High-level magi have area of effect spells as an advantage over their warrior counterparts, meaning that they are vital on the battlefield. Thus, successful magi are normally awarded with titles and even granted knighthood by their respective kingdoms. Son, please remember that magi aren’t stronger than warriors, it is that they offer more to a kingdom and that they are less magi than warriors, making them more valuable.”

“Mummy, mummy, I wanna be a powerful magus and become as powerful and awesome as our ancestors!”
“Son, you will need to study really hard to become a magus. Although you have the talent for it, you still need the knowledge to bring your power to the full potential. Furthermore, our sacred family element fusion: lava style can only be achieved by receiving a high level of enlightenment in earth and fire elements.”
“I don’t really get it mom, but all I need to do is study super super super hard to become a powerful magus, right?
“Well, that’s all you can do at the moment my child. However, I am very sure that if you study hard now, your path to becoming a great magus would be shorter and easier”
“Let me start now mummy, let me start studying now”
The young boy immediately jumped on his bed and exclaimed loudly, but to be pushed down with the gentle slap of his mother.
“Get back to bed young man, it is already past your bedtime. It's good that you want to study, but that can come tomorrow. It is bed time for you now.”
“But mum…”
“Sleep tight my little adventurer, you can start your studying tomorrow. Good night”
“Good night”
