The swift construction of the houses ascertained how convenient and miraculous magic was around these parts. One could conjure energy out of nothing ignoring physic laws that went against this, manipulate matter in its purest form and one of my favorites, overcome the problem of communication amongst strangers just like Zephyr spell.
It is a phenomenon that likened earthly creatures to gods and it was by no means abstract. I must say though, if magic could do this much then most people wouldn't be interested in other things that could perhaps replicate it, yes! I was referring to science and technology, I had a guess that science would dwindle in this world, why bother learning the intricate ways of physics if one can just do almost anything with magic.
The other day, I saw a bunch of the villagers after capturing what looked like a reindeer from the distance call on someone that could use magic just to help them create fire, I was certain they could make one but their dependence on magic had made them forgetful of that.
It was now the third day staying in the almost empty huts that were created with magic making it just four days before we see beyond this place before the council of leaders.
I hate to admit it but our sustenance so far had been entirely on the villagers particularly Chief Styri, those that bore obvious hatred were now our keepers, that was certainly paradoxical.
The first day we spent in there, a game had been caught and they shared a considerable part of it with us, although I hate being catered for to such an extent, I couldn't help but feel happy that over their offering and that lit a hope within me that we will become good neighbors someday.
I talked to Zephyr during the day of the test about magic, she seems to be busy or something as she hasn't visited ever since then but she dropped some interesting information.
She informed us that after surfacing our faces to the leaders of the world, our training would begin, perhaps she was going to tutor us herself or not but I was pretty excited about harnessing such power.
" Ahh, a new day it is" I muttered just to myself in my spacious room, considerable light had broken through the darkness of the night indicating that it was morning.
Ever since I came to this world, especially during my morning meditation, I do feel a strange energy in me, I had a feeling that it was what Zephyr referred to as Mana so I wasn't particularly disturbed by it.
I didn't ask the others though, I have never had the right time to bring it up.
I did a few stretches and then sat with my leg crossed as I immersed myself in meditation.
With my eyes closed, a usual feeling surfaced, this happens when I meditate, the feeling of pure energy coursing through my body.
" Ahhhh!" I left out a deep exhalation.
After rounds of deep breathing and silence, I got up done with my meditation and walked outside, I was at the door of my house and nobody was in sight.
" I woke up early today" I yawned and then my eyes met the two great buildings before me.
The school that was too large considering the number of centaurs around and the great library said to contain written works of King Oberi.
Obviously, these two buildings piqued my interest and I have been tempted to delve into them when nobody was looking but I controlled myself, just like the other days, I ignored the urge to approach the places.
I took a stroll around the place and I arrived at one of the ends of the village. Something stopped me from walking further, those Reindeer-like creatures we saw the onset we got here, one was gnawing on a bush close to where I was.
Its white fur kinda glimmered a bit in the darkness or maybe it was just me.
I stood still observing it have its breakfast when the urge to embrace it surged in me, it was cute so it wasn't entirely my fault.
I stretched my hand from the distance like I wanted to pat it when something totally unexpected happened.
A small weak gust of wind formed at its feet, lifted it a bit, and shifted it some centimeters before totally dissipating.
I had subconsciously replicated Miss Zephyr's wind spell over my desire to pet the creature.
" Wahhh!" I exclaimed lightly and looked upon the hand I stretched forward and then the creature.
Like nothing happened, it continued gnawing on the bush.
" Did I just do magic?"
