It officially is taking too long it's been 3 whole hours of silence and me playing on my phone, it's very annoying having to bottle up all of your excitement for the time when you can actually do some real magic. After another hour she looked done. Before we begin, I must ask something "veronica, I have a few questions before we start"
"well ask away" she sat down next to me again
"so, number one, why can't you teach magic to my sister" I looked at her
"one magician can only have one apprentice discounting your own children, Elliott I'm sorry I can't teach your sister" this made me think, I need a loop hole my sister looked really disappointed and upset when she couldn't be taught, I thought for a minute "ok then veronica. How many books can you have active at a time?"
"two" she held up two fingers as she said this "why?" I looked her directly in the eyes
"then get a second book out for her and allow her to read it and practice from it, you wouldn't be teaching her"
"good thinking, I wouldn't be teaching them so it would work" I ran downstairs and into the kitchen where I found daisy holding back tears I grabbed her and dragged her up the stairs, she didn't resist she just followed "daisy veronica can't teach you but, you can teach yourself" I explained the specialisations using what veronica told me then daisy made her choice on what area of magic she would like to be in. "Elliott, I would like to be an Eldritch mage" veronica held her hand up as a blue book appeared in it, she then handed it to daisy, who promptly ran into her room. Veronica then looked at me "do you have any more questions?"
"yes just a second one, so how can hunter turn into a puppy" I pointed to my fast asleep puppy on my bed "I thought it was just an illusion, but he is physically a puppy like this"
"well I just called it an illusion to be simple, but in reality I cursed him he will now will turn into a puppy when told to by his master and can only turn back with the masters permission" that made sense I suppose.
"wait I have one more question"
"ask it then"
"will I be able to do things from other areas of magic eventually?"
"no but in time you will be able to mimic spells from other areas like for instance, I could curse the ground to make a wall of magic that won't allow anyone to come through and will attack anyone who tries, this is basically a ward from white magic but it is not the same. You just have to get creative when you can"
"ok" I was dumfounded, I could basically do all the things from the other areas, this will make my life so much easier.
"however now that you are a summoner you can't really do that; you see no mage can replicate what you do and as such you can't replicate what anyone else does." Well fuck that is just brilliant my dreams crushed, but there must be a way though, there are rules but I assume you can bend them a little otherwise veronica wouldn't be able to do a curse that is a ward. I am going to have to rack my brain for things, wait veronica can just curse me to be able to do some of the attack spells right? That would be so easy. Too easy. I have no idea what I can do for summoning yet though. "Elliott!" this broke me out of my thoughts "god damn man you need to listen to me I have called you enough times, now would you like to go and learn how to do your magic?"
"of course, no time like the present" she looked at me funny before jumping out of the window, I myself walk downstairs and out of the house, rolling my eyes as I see her I lead her to the abandoned Wearhouse I was just in earlier "is this good enough for magic?"
"Elliott I just wanted somewhere secluded and you managed a big open space too, good boy" although I do not think she meant it like that it was rather patronising I'm not sure I like it, hell I definitely don't like it. But now is a time for magic I best stop bitching and do some magic. Right as I was about to ask what was the first order of business there was a sound, well multiple sounds a pipe falling on the floor and footsteps I turned around to what appears to be five knights, and they drew their swords as slowly walked towards us each with a sword in their right hands … fuck I'm going to die today aren't I, shit.
"well fuck" I really need to stop getting scared of this shit they might be friendly; I walk up to one and they all start to charge and swipe their swords at me. I try to doge them the first overshot me the second just missed me by a hair and s I ran back to Victoria, unable to do anything or use magic I am useless. Pain shot me in my side after I got to my current position, looking down I see that I have been cut on my side my shirt split open, it's not a very big wound small really not much more than a cut, I must have only just dodged that one and by accident too trying my regeneration spell before I realise I cant use it anymore. Crash, worn down shelves where knocked over by some invisible force as now all the armoured knights were on the floor. "veronica what this you"
"who else would it be dear Elliott" she looked at me with an eyebrow raised and a smirk. The knightly soldiers got up again and started to slowly get up the dents in there Armor repair themselves as they slowly walk towards us. "Elliott distract them until I have prepared a curse ok"
"ok? But can't we be peaceful and try to resolve this without me getting killed?"
"they are mindless, you can try but they will stab you" veronica rolled her eyes as she started to chant and wave her hands, what the fuck am I going to do against 5 guys with auto repair armour and no magic, SHIT. Hmmmmm, all I need to do is stall right? I immediately started running around flailing my left arm around, they all ran after me and left veronica alone, which was great. After a minute, veronica shoved her hands forwards and twisted her fingers in weird directions, the Armor of the knights followed suit. What I thought would be a few naked dudes and gals where in fact just air "veronica … what are … those things?" I said out of breath god i looked like an idiot
"possessed Armor they were sent to kill someone, probably me" I looked confused
"who would want you dead?"
"who doesn't, hell they could even be my fathers" she looked kind of sad when she said that last part
