August strength would more than double when using the new twin blades. This was a major advantage for him on the battlefield.
He closed the screen and checked the time. August could see that he only had 45 minutes before the ship would set off, so he quickly hurried back. When he arrived, he could see the crew putting out the large paddles and the ropes being loosened. After a short talk with the Skipper of the ship he sat down with the other passengers.
August waited for the next 45 minutes before the ship set off. When it finally set off, he was starting to fell asleep. He had not slept for the past 3 days so it was only natural to fall asleep when doing nothing.
August woke with a jolt as he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see a handsome young man with black hair and eyes.
"Yes, what is it?" August said after remembering where he was.
"Hey, I just wanted someone to talk to and you've been sleeping for about 6 hours. My names Blake what's yours?" The young man replied with a genuine looking smile.
"My names August it's nice to meet you. Where are we now?" August asked while shaking his hand.
"Currently we are entering the Bay of Bristol only about 30 minutes away from the city of Bristol." Blake said while looking out to sea.
"Thanks for letting me know. Why are you headed to Caldera?" August asked.
Blake turned back over to August and said "I'm going to attend the Magical Academy of Caldera. Originally, I am the 2nd son of the Duke of Pernios and my father wanted me to go to a good magic school since the one in Roan is not the best. How about you why are you headed to Caldera?
August pondered the question for a moment before answering since he was talking to a noble of the very kingdom he was fleeing from.
"I also want to go to Magic Academy of Caldera. Do you know how to get in no one told me?" August asked.
"Oh, that's cool we should be friends then! all you need to be able to do is pay 10 gold coins and be able to perform some basic magic." Blake said
"Oh really? Okay then that is not that hard. What magic do you know so far? August asked.
"Right now, I know Ice Arrow, Ice Shield and few more." Blake stated while making an arrow of ice out of thin air.
"You can use elements with magic?" August asked.
Yeah, you can use many different elements but the four most commonly used are Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. I'm mostly adept at Ice but I also have some potential with Fire." Blake said.
How do you know what element your adept at? August asked.
"Well for me I just had a mage bring over an elemental orb and that's how I know." Blake said after a moment.
"Do you have one of these elemental orbs with you?" August asked curiously.
"Yes, in fact I do have one with me." He said while going through his large bag for a couple minutes before finally pulling out a color changing orb. "Put your hands on it and it should show what element you have."
All people in the world have a specific element they are adept with. This means that everyone can use magic if properly trained. However, there are very few people can actually use magic because most cannot afford to learn it as learning magic was expensive.
August gently placed his hands on the orb and inserted his magical energy.
Suddenly the orb shined showing an array of colors before finally stopping. August heard a gasp and looked up to see Blake looking at him wide-eyed.
"What?" August asked confused.
"I don't know how many that was, but you are able to use so many types of magic! How is this possible?" He said while thinking deeply evident from the lines on his brow.
August stayed silent looking at him for a while before finally asking "What does this mean?"
Blake looked up from the deck of the ship and said, "It means you're a genius among geniuses a talent that comes once every hundred years a new Paragon."
"What can a Paragon do?" August asked confusion showing on his face he had never heard of a Paragon before.
"Paragons can use almost all types of magic in every form." Blake said.
I bet the reason he thinks I am a Paragon is because of the Bloodline System August thought inwardly. He looked up at Blake and decided to use Observe on him.

August noticed he could now see the elements ones is adept at. Also he could see the tag next to his race meaning he wasn't fully human.
"Are you okay?" Blake asked because August had been staring at him for almost 5 minutes now.
Before he could answer him, the Skipper shouted from the front of the ship "We dock in 5 minutes prepare your supplies!"
