Chapter 2 - Chapter Two: The Calm Between The Storm

Isamu looked in shock before overcome in anger. "Why are you helping me, you dirty mage." Isamu shouted with anger trembling in his voice as he tried moving before being engulfed in pain as Horus tried helping him but Isamu pushed him away. "I don't need help from a dirty mage." Isamu shouted with anger. "I'm not like those mages and I wanna help you beat those mages." Horus said as Isamu slightly calmed down. "Why?" Isamu shouted. "It's because I have made many mistakes in my past so I left, 5 years ago. I swore to redemption by saving the lower-region but I failed. Now, I have a chance to train you so you can save the next village. I would but I'm an old man and my life is running low so I wanted to choose a successor from your region." Horus said, Isamu understood him. "Lower-region." Isamu said. "The part, which you live in. There are three regions. The lower-region is the region with the least mana. The middle-region is average and the Upper-Region is for the people with the most mana" Horus said. "So, when you're ready to begin after a few weeks, come to me." Horus said as Isamu tried to stand up as pain filled him. "Damn it. I don't need your help." Isamu said. "You can choose to go on your own but you know that without my tutelage. You will never be able to get vengeance and will simply die." Horus said. "I don't need you." Isamu said as he stands up as he screams in agony. "If I can't even stand up how can I avenge them and beat those animals." Isamu said as he stood up before screaming in pain as he looked at Horus. "I don't need your help." Isamu said as he leaves Horus's hut and journeys out into the wilderness. Isamu walks as he reaches the end of the lower-region as he stands in front of a huge troll. Isamu looks in fear before getting a stick as the trolls smash the totem on Isamu. Isamu barely dodged it as he ran around. 'It leaves a big opening when it smashes that totem that will give me an opening.' Isamu thought as the troll smashes the totem on Isamu, who dodges it as he then plunges the stick in his leg, wounding the troll. The troll gives out a cry before smashing Isamu into a tree, knocking him out.

Isamu stands up and sees his parents and all his friends. He smiles as he walks to them. "Why didn't you fight against them? Why didn't you save us." They all said as Isamu fell to his knees as he then saw Mazoku smiling as he sent a wave of flame, burning them all. Isamu looked in shock as he held his heads as he heard their screams. He cries as he screams in agony.

Isamu wakes up to see the troll was putting him on a fire as he was tied up as the troll danced around as Isamu was getting cooked alive. 'I'm going to die. I can't die before I avenge them.' Isamu thought as he tried getting out but failed. Tears fall down as at his last moments. "SOMEONE SAVE ME." Isamu shouted as Horus then appeared. Horus then put out the fire as he cut the rope as the troll looked at Horus in rage as he let out a battle cry. The troll smashes the totem. Horus put his hand out as he then showed his glowing purple eyes. The totem stops as the troll is lifted up by what seems to be nothing as it's then let go, smashing down on the ground, creating a huge quake. "Amazing." Isamu said in shock. "Drink this, it will heal your wounds." Horus said as he gave him a bottle. Isamu reluctantly drinks it as his injuries heal. "I can teach you how to defend yourself. I can teach you the ways of the mage. Do you accept." Horus said as Isamu smiled. "I accept." Isamu said. "Let's begin." Horus said as they left.
