Hello everyone, thanks for the support on the last entry to my life's diary, I see that you humans enjoy my story. Ah, i should probably introduce myself. My name is Kislev, the son of Arcanus. Todays story is about awakening, supposedly the hardest part of a Magickus's life. Anyway enjoy the story!
When I was 10 years old I had the most brutal awakening to my powers. I was attacked by a lycanthrope, specifically a PythinBear. A creature that is half Python Half bear. No matter how much the creature attacked me, I wouldn't die. I still have the scars to prove it. I was gifted with the power of reflection-. Ah, forgive me I'm getting ahead of myself, you all probably want to know how i got out of that situation. That was the hard part.
After getting sick of not being able to kill me, it began to hobble away, calling to its pack in the process. Whatever damage it had done to me was seemingly reflected onto it. Now I just had to escape with my mind intact. So I scrambled to my feet, sprinting to get back to the guards shack that was around 4 miles away. It seemed a lot quicker going back, and the guards were quite shocked when I, a panicking 10 year old who came out of nowhere, was saying "There's a pack of PythinBears after me!"
They laughed in my face saying "Go home kid, you've obviously been out too-". And thats when they pounced him, thankfully the guards Gift allowed him to emit spikes out of his body. It didnt go so well for that Pythin. The other guard told me to run, so I did and I ran the remaining 4 miles back to the city I got there in less than 10 minutes. I wasn't too worried for the guards, as they've all been trained to be able to take a pack of Pythins on their own.
I immediately ran into my home, trying to conceal my actual power from my father. Though he knew what my power was cause he saw the event take place. He can see the past, the present, and the near future, amongst other things. He asked me how I wasn't dead. I told him honestly "I have no clue dad! All I know is that after the monster got off of me, it seemed hurt." He grabbed my arm which had all sorts of scarring, but no blood. He then stated blankly "Humph, you have the powers of Speed, and Reflection/ Regeneration." He pulled out his knife which he kept on him, still holding my arm and cut me. He winced from the pain he had caused himself from cutting me. "Now , heal me." He ordered, I put my hand over his arm, and as it began to heal, my stomach gurgled. "Dad Im starving I don't think I can finish healing you." He proceeded to wave his hand over the wound and it was gone. "Did you feel nature calling to you when your powers awakened?" I nodded yes, and he proceeded "Let that calling take over next time, that is nature giving you its blessing of mana, why else could you have gotten here so fast? You received the blessing of the forest." -
Sorry to leave you all on edge here but i think this is all the time ive got today, retelling such old memories really takes it out of me. So thank you all for joining me in my podcast. This has been Kislev, and I hope you all join me again, for another part of my adventures.
