----------------------------------------

A fisherman was fishing on a nearby river curve and was shocked to see a baby drifting down the river.

He got up and jumped into the river to rescue the kid.

When he got closer to the baby he noticed that the kid was hovering a few centimeters above the water while emitting a turqouise glow.

(A.N. : we’re using the metric system)

He took the child in his arms as he swam to the shore.

As soon as he got out of the water he saw a young couple running towards him screaming:”Thank you for saving our son!”

He was stunned to see such irresponsible parents.

When they came closer he asked:”Who are you and what was this baby doing in the river?”

The father answered:”My name is Claster and this is my wife Pelexa.

An old man threw him in the river following the oracles prophecy. And what’s your name sir?”

Doggax: “My name is Doggax just call me Dogg and that oracle you just mentioned is a  famous swindler.”

Pelexa:”Is everything alright with Linsang?”

5 Years after that incident

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I run through the Sorson forest next to my village.

I know this forest like the back of my hand, I’m running towards Nalpure, a lake located north of here.

I like the feeling of the wind running through my hair, it’s very relaxing.

As soon as I arrive at the beautiful indigo colored lake with a slightly pink beach.

I take a few deep breaths of fresh air and start to undress to take a swim.

Suddenly I hear splashing sounds and notice that there’s already someone else in there.

I look around and see my neighbour Tanja.

After ogling her for a few seconds, I decided to dress back up and leave before she notices me.

Following the river back home I took a look in the river and saw a boy with blazing red hair an average build, brown eyes and white skin smiling back at me. (AN: that's Linsang's reflection)

When continuing my little journey I saw an old fisherman sitting on a rock. It was a 1 by 2 meters diorite rock.

He has white long hair and a green robe with a yellow belt. When I was about to pass him by I decided to greet him.

Linsang:“Good afternoon old man!”

Doggax:”Hi Linsang!”

Linsang:”How did you know my name?”

Dogg:”Well we met about five years ago as far as I can remember, you were quite special.”

Linsang:”What made me so special that you remembered me?”

Dogg:”You have a high mana affinity.”

Linsang:"Ma what?"

Dogg:"Your mana, the energy that flows inside and surrounds you ."

Linsang:"What does it do?"

Dogg:"You’ll better understand if I just show you."

After saying these words Dogg stood up and placed his left hand against the rock he was sitting on. After he mumbled a few incomprehensible words the rock started to glow bright red and the rock started to melt.

Linsang:-Wow what was that strange but familiar feeling just now. It felt warm in my abdomen, is that the mana he just mentioned?.-

”What was that feeling just now?”Linsang asked

Dogg:”that was my mana you just felt and what you have seen was me utilising it to melt this rock.”

Linsang:”Wow, could you teach me how to do that thing you just did?”

Dogg:"Come tommorow at dawn to this spot if you want me to teach you."
