The next morning, Veronica Graves, a 5'1 woman with short black hair, was in her house in Trudid reading the news about what happened in Culcheth, She was practicing her magic while reading, creating crystals, amethyst crystals rather, she was an apprentice amethyst mage, but reading this, her emotions caught, and a huge crystal shot out of her hand and almost destroyed her roof.
She finished eating her breakfast, and left to her best friend, and tutor, Ignacio Banks, she had gone to school with them and watched their boom in magical energy, when she knocked the door swing open, the mage standing there wearing blue leather and hat.
"Welcome, welcome, lets go" he walked out the door locking it as he left, he walked down the road, Veronica tried to keep up, and she asked
"where are we going, we usually practice in the house"
"We are going to do it out of the city, you gained enough magic energy that it'll be a pain in the city"
These words kinda shocked Veronica, as she heard Ignacio say this, he was the one who defeated the minotaur, one of the bandits strongest leaders.
As they left the city, they entered the forest, they went to a clearing in the forest, and Ignacio was teaching Veronica her first spell, a crystal blast. As she raised her left hand moving her magical energy to the palm of her hand, as her arm reached a 90degree angle a light purple magic circle with a symbol of cristel in the center floated to where her hand faced, an inch away from her palm.
"Am...am I doing it" she asked in shock
"Yes you are" Ignacio said with a hearty laugh "now, say what words are on your mind to name the spell"
After a bit of thinking she said "Minor Crystal blast"
And once she said this, a shard of crystal shot out of her hand, hitting a tree going through it.
"Well done, now you are considered a starter wizard, and you can choose your own path"
Veronica decided at that time that she would be a hero, not just any hero though, but the greatest hero ever.
