Chapter 2 - the awakening of a forgotten skill

as I'm running in the Forrest I can't help but be excited knowing today is my fourth birthday and I'm only one year away from being able to try out for the magic knight academy I know I'm not ready but I promised myself I won't fail and determination is all I need as I arrive back home I hear a voice call out to me one I haven't heard in awhile I turn around to see rose. Ciara over here don't ignore me I know it's been awhile but I'm back from training to spend the rest of the year training with my parents for crystal academy of magic I'll be here the rest of the year, I turn to see rose who eagerly hugs me and has us go to our old meeting spot to talk in the woods as we go the half hour in to reach are location we sit and talk I ask her about magic training she asks me if I've awaken my magic trait or more commonly known ability I tell her know and she gets alittle mad telling me I promised her I would work on it after all without a magic trait you can't cast spells even with mana as she's talking after awhile she let's the topic go and we sit and talk about our plans to get into vermillion and crystal academy as we talk about our goals a roar is heard as we turn to the sound of the roar a creature with the body of a bear but twice the height makes itself known. Ciara we need to leave its a king woldbear there big fast and and intermediate beast we can't win we need to hold it off and run till we get help but as we try to leave 4 more regular wolfbears appear blocking our path once they appear I realize this wasn't a mistake they've been waiting for us to make a move so they could strike with no where to run we prepare to fight as I pick up my training blade which is only a basic sword I charge at one if the wolfbears as I go in for a strike I miss and get hit with a claw attack which digs into my side as I back up and ready another stance I look behind me to see rose struggling against the king wolfbear even with magic she can't do anything but dodge and once false move will leave her in a state close to death as I look back at my opponent they took the opportunity to charge when I was distracted and I barely dodge most of the hit with 2 making contact as I look back rose's shield spell is smashed and she thrown away with ease with no where to run and 6 enemys I feel one of the emotions I haven't felt in awhile fear as I scream for help knowing my voice won't be heard because of how deep in the Forrest I am I still hold onto to hope and as I've accepted death I look over as the king wolfbear is about to finish rose and I turn with all my power I scream and in that moment something awakens as anger boils up for the bottom of my being and I shoot a blast of fire hitting the king and killing it as I do the other wolfbears see there leader die and retreat as soon as he falls as I get up I see a weird screen [ability unlocked elements of emotion] [item obtained intermediate wolfbear king crystal] as the new info appears I realise my mage ability has awoken along with guide all mages recive along with it as I cheer I start to feel myself slip and within that moment I faint and lay unmoving on the Forrest floor when I wake up I'm the village hospital and in the bed laying next to Me is rose not knowing how we got here almost as if my mind had been read a voice says I found you two laying on the Forrest floor next to a dead intermediate beast I have no idea what happened but I assume one of you killed it and fainted from mana exhaustion and seeing as you were the least damaged and were laying in the path of fire I assume it was you. I nod and try to explain but he says don't worry your secret safe with me however the village failure finally learned magic guess everyone was wrong about you as he gets up and leaves. finally having time to look at my abilities I pull up the menu of abilitys that i gained now having an ability and look over the details of what I can do [magic trait elements of emotion information available] access I say aloud not knowing I can awnser in my head as well [information accessed magic trait elements of emotion. magic attribute unknown attributes unlocked fire.] access how ability works [how to use elements of emotion. elements of emotion works by using your emotions by feeling a singular emotion strongly you gain the ability to use the elements tied to that emotion permanently for example you felt great rage so strong you unlock its attribute fire in order to unlock other attributes must feel strong emotions] huh I wonder if I could force an emotion to unlock each element avaliable [ warning in order to unlock elements emotion must be felt for real can not be forced or faked] well there goes that idea so fire was tied to anger I wonder what the other emotions hold as I sit and ponder rose wakes up and thanks me for getting us out of there. I then explain I scared the bears off but I didn't get us out I then explain in detail about the man and then her I've unlocked my ability instead of telling her I can eventually use more I just decide I'll let people think I'm a fire mage and still go to the knight academy as I'm more experienced in how to fight then use magic. as I finish with that I return home with a new determination I then go outside and see the training gear that all knight's use a dummy bot that has a beast crystal in it useless for gear but perfect for the doll it allows the door to be set to a level 1-5 1 being the minimum I must pass to become a knight anything higher I've been told is suicide for my age I then walk up and say lvl one and with a new determination I ready myself for the future.
