Arcadia Continent,
Isopia Empire,
As being a Elves race Empire it's mostly covered by greenery. Bulidings and Houses situated here are all made by keeping them near to the nature itself.
It also mostly crowded by the Elves moving here and there, buying things for home, children playing within them etc.
....
At the borders side of the Empire, a worn out house was situated. It's hard to believe this type of house is these in the Empire where all other houses are atleast average looking.The sorrounding some houses near it looked not very good but better than it.
Inside the house, there were two elves near to each other. One was laying down on a blanket laid on the floor, other one was sitting besides it holding one hand of it pressed between hers hand.
The name of the elve holding the lying Elve hand was Alva. She was holding the hands of her sick mother who seemed to be at her deathbed. Normally elves lives along life for some races there lives are close to be immortals.
It's like that but her mother was assaulted by a rare disease. It's not that this disease can't be cured, but its roots has been spreaded inside her mother so deep that without any special elixir or higher level of healing Wizards she can't be saved.
They charge huge sums of money which they don't have. The capitals healers have already said that Alva's mother has not much time to live.
Alva already work at 5 to 6 jobs but was not be able to earn even half of the amount needed for recovery. The Magician route have high sums of income but in Lava's case it's not applicable.
From birth Alva seemed to be the only Elve in the whole Isopia Empire who is not loved by the Magicules. The lowest level of affinity ever found, Alva have ever lower then it.
So, Alva even tried to take the War Locks route but this route requires to have much amount of wealth as well as resources to be able get qualifications to become a Warlock. Due to the amount of work she does her figure has also became weak and frail.
I am sorry, Mother. I can't save you.I can't even do a thing for you.
Alva cried while her head facing her mother's face. Her tears went down like steady stream of waterfalls, having no end.at that moment,a palm comes resting on Alva's head.
It's okay dear. You did what you can. I hope after I go you can live a good life.
Her Elve mother said while pampering her head. She also smiled at her, it contained a warmness which made Alva quite for sometime.
All of a sudden the water stream stopped, the hand pampering Alva also stopped moving it setteled silently on her head. Her mother died with a smile on her face.
She not shouted or cried again on seeing her mother die. She slowly lifted the hand on her head and silently put on her mother chest.Both hands together. She waved her one hand on her mother eyes to close them.
Alva stood up and stepped back 2 steps and bowed to pray for her mother.
She then organized a funeral of her mother at the local cemetery. Alva and some near neighbours only came in it. After successfully ending the process, others all left.Only Alva was there sitting on a bench in the cemetery.
The previous stopped tears starts rolling down, like the the world got sad because Alva was sad and the raining also starts.
Out of nowhere,while Alva was crying on the bench, a speck of light came flying near to her forehead and after touching it disappeared in it.
Alva felt a warm feeling spreading all over her body. She cleaned her tears and saw her body which was weak and frail started getting strengthened. She also started seeing various color particles flowing in air. She recognised them at first glance.They were magicules, she was able to see it by naked eyes meaning her affinity was very high to be able to see it.
She also got an unknown message in her mind saying,"Reach the Eternal Range".Alva burned some brain cells on it but decided to think of it another time.
At first she got happy very much then she thought to try a basic-tier magic spell learned by her in past.
She absorbed the Magicules in her body and moved it towards her hand, while thinking of the spell and the effect of it. In end she said,
"𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹"
A spark lit up and it instantly increased in size floating on her hand. It increased according to the amount of magicules was imported. She let the Magicules move to her hand continuously, the fireball gradually increased to a size simulating that a sun had descended on land. The sourrounding metals also started melting due to high heat.
Alva closed her palm and the fireball disappeared. She not used it here cause it could caused a large destruction here.
On progressing, she moved near to her mother's grave and bowed on her both legs.she said facing her grave.
Mother, see now I can also become a magician. I will follow your very wish for me. Hope you 'rest in peace' mother.
In end of it, she stood up and walked out of the cemetery. It was like the world got happy of seeing her, the clouds vanished & the sunlight shined on her. Wishing her best of luck for her upcoming journey.
