”Do you think we’ll find anymore? We’ve only got half a dozen rabbits and ten squirrel. That’s not enough.”

“Ah. Who knows. This forest gets more and more barren each year. But we could still find a deer if we are lucky. Besides it may not be enough to feed everyone but it’s enough to last us a little while longer.”

Logan was in the bushes hiding from the two men. He continued to eavesdrop on their conversation in order to find out what kind of me they were.

Apparently they were two hunters from a nearby town that would stay in the forest for days sometimes weeks at a time hunting for food. For whatever reason their village was short on food. There were actually hunters all over the forest doing the something they were.

Seeing that these people seemed friendly and that there was something that he could offer them, Logan decided to reveal himself. But before he did that he spoke to himself in a quiet tone.

“Grant me the power to create any kind of food I can imagine using magical power”

Now that he had something that he could offer them in exchange for information he decided to do a few more.

“Grant me the power of terrakinesis”

“Grant me the power of hydrokinesis”

“Grant me the power of pyrokinesis”

“Grant me the power of aerokinesis”

“Grant me the power of electrokinesis”

“Grant me the power of cryokinesis”

“Grant me the power of photokinesis”

“Grant me the power of umbrakinesis”

Logan thought that this was a more than good enough arsenal to greet those strangers with. He could now control earth, water, fire, air, electricity, ice, light and darkness all with his mind.

He got out from behind the bushes and trees, put his hands in his jacket pockets and started strutting towards the tent.

Logan was feeling quite excited. He couldn’t wait for his adventure to begin.

~~~~

“HELLO!” He spoke perfectly in the two men’s language.

Logan was trying to play the character of a completely confidant OP MC. He was determined to be the first to say hello so before they even noticed he was there he yelled out to them. But he didn’t expect what happened next.

Both men jumped out of their chairs, grabbed their bows and aimed their arrows at him. Logan didn’t expect this instant hostility. He raised his hands in the air to show he was unarmed.

“Whoa there. I come in peace” he said with the least bit of fear.

Logan was well prepared to use his telekinesis if they should lose the arrows at him.

The two men look at each other confused but still didn’t lower their weapons.

“What do you want” the man on the right said.

“Nothing much. I was just walking through this forest and saw your guys. I thought it would be impolite not to introduce myself. My name Logan Williams; Wielder of the Elements” Logan said giving himself a grand magician’s title.

“Is that some kind of magicians title? Are you a Mage?” the man asked.

“That I am” Logan said waving his hand in the air conjuring a fire ball.

The two men stare wide eyed and slack jawed at the ball of fire floating above Logan’s hand.

A few second later he dismissed the fire ball. The two men returned to their senses. They both dropped their bow and arrows. Their hostility completely gone. They each gave a short bow.

“Our deepest apologies Grand Magician. With your attire we thought you might be some bandit or thief come to steal our catch. We are sorry if our actions have offended you.”

The two men seem to completely change. One moment they were aggressive and the next it was gone like it never was there at all.

Logan looked at his black clothes and thought that he probably did look like some kind of villain.

“Ha ha ha. These are my traveling clothes. They are sturdy and quite comfortable, which is why I wear them. But you are right. I probably looked like some shady character to you. Ha ha ha.”

The two men were confused. They were not expecting such a high and mighty magician to be so kind. In all honesty they half expected to die right then and there. They had never seen a magician before but from what they heard magicians looked down on and mistreated any who couldn’t use magic themselves or didn’t have a high status.

‘This is going to be fun’ Logan thought.
