The library was endless! Giant shelves full of books. It's like every being in the world has written a book. It was incredible. Stunned, I watched Aki lead me, God knows where. We stopped at a table with two chairs and a lamp.
"Okay. Wait here and I'll bring you books with basic spells and things that every magician is supposed to know."
"Good."
Aki disappeared into the labyrinth of books, and I settled into my chair a little more. I closed my eyes for a moment and thought. From the waiting, I finally fell asleep.
Dream
"So where's my urchin? You know I'll always find you."
I laughed. I was hidden under the table. Suddenly I heard footsteps. be approaching The footsteps grew louder and louder. I pressed myself against the corner of the table and perhaps stopped breathing. For a moment there was no sound. Where is he? Where is he hiding? Suddenly, a face with no face appears beside me. I exhale and come out. The fear left me at once.
"How do you always find me? It's not fair!"I'm going to shout at the character.
"You are my son, Iruka. We have the same blood that unites us. And that means I'll find you wherever you are, my son. It's the most powerful spell in the world. And you know why?”
I squirmed.
"You can share this magic with everyone and not just a member of your family. They'll always find you."
"Dad, I don't get it. How can I have it with anyone if they're not my family?"
"You'll understand that when you grow up."
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
And he tousled my hair. Looking at myself in my dream, I was maybe 3 or 4 years old. I don't have any pre-orphanage memories at all, but if this isn't just a figment of my imagination and it's real I don't want to wake up anymore.
"Now go. I have to work here again."
"But daaad...I want to study with you." Dad smiled a little and folded his arms across his chest.
“When you tell me the wizards' three ground rules."
"1. Follow your mind and not your heart. 2. There is a power in knowledge that you seek. 3. Magic is proud."
"Hahaha. proud That too, but it's supposed to be clean." I puffed out my cheeks and put my hands on my chest like my father's.
"Iruka, now listen. Those rules will never be there for you in your life. It's just nonsense invented by a handful of stupid old men. Always follow what feels right to you. Your heart doesn't deceive your mind, it just helps to look at things in other ways. Yes, my urchin?"
"Yes, Dad." And I hugged him.
"Iruka! Iruka, get up."Aki was shaking me.
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep."I answered automatically. I've always answered Momo like that at the orphanage.
"We haven't even started, and you're asleep."He was teasing me.
I didn't say anything to him and grabbed the first book. I started scrolling through it, looking at the pictures.
"So Iruka, you as wizards, have three sacred rules. They've been given for the thousandth time. Today, only the elderly follow them. There have been plenty of votes on change, too, but some other time. The rules are as follows: 1.Follow your mind and not your heart. 2. There is a power in knowledge that you seek. And three.."
"Magic is pure."I jumped in mindlessly.
"How do you know?"He asked, raising his eyebrows.
For a moment I wondered if I should tell him, but then I decided I'd better let it go. It was just a coincidence. "Here from the book."I answered after a moment's hesitation. Aki probed me a little longer, suspiciously, but luckily he let it go.
"Okay. We need to teach you the theory of magic. Then when rehearsals are over, we'll leave and start training. But don't worry, you're lucky, and you have four of the greatest experts in the elements as your masters. So we'll teach you how to control them all. If you want, that is. Of course, there are plenty of other magicians with other magic. If our magic doesn't suit you, you can go into teaching to them"
"Noo! I want to learn from you."
"Good. I'm glad."And he smiled sincerely, and you could see the relief in his eyes as well.
I smiled back and was happy to immerse myself in the study.
