The kid was very happy just because he could get outside of that motel room. He was so thrilled just to see the weather outside of those four walls.
He was not typically liking any kinds of people around but just the fact that he could go outside made him very happy .
The weather was very cold, which is why Ezekiel made sure to create warm clothes for him..
And as they walked outside of that place , Nathan didn't let him carry him around .
He just wanted to walk around which made Ezekiel extra protective.
Ezekiel didn't know the place very well and he didn't have his phone to search for the map of this place .
Yet he just continued to walk around until he reached the borders of that city where the forest was .
It was an abandoned place which made perfect sense for him to use it as a place where he could use it as a place to rehearse all of the spells he just learned in that grimoire .
Just seeing his brother so excited about magic gave a huge motivation to start practicing very soon.
Ezekiel knew that it was not going to be very hard and that is why he just put the grimoire aside in his back bag and started casting the spells he learned from it .
He didn't even need to read it each time to cast a spell or remember the runes .
Ezekiel memorized each spell in that grimoire.
There were hundreds of spells in it , each of them had its specific runes and they were categorized by the elements that it is based on and also by how powerful it was .
To him, all these spells sounded powerful because he never saw such spells being cast .
However, there was a note from the past owner of the grimoire at the end saying :" This is just for beginners…shiiiit…I Am certified as a Novice magic user …I have to find the other ones ".
Ezekiel was not sure about the person who wrote this but he just assumed that the old lady did it.
At the beginning, he thought that he found something bigger but now as he read that note last night he couldn't sleep..it was just that brutal confrontation with the bitter reality.
"Do the fire one …." Nathan said when he saw Ezekiel standing motionless thinking about the note he found .
" The fire spell is not that cool, let me show you something cooler Kiddo"
Ezekiel looked at his brother then he cast a spell on him, Nathan started to levitate in the air.
The levitation spell was one of the spells that he found in that book, Ezekiel raised his arm in the air and Nathan levitated in the air .
This spell was simple, once activated it will be causing the caster or the object to levitate.
The magic user would need to concentrate to maintain the spell and control the levitation. The duration of the spell and the height at which the caster or object can levitate would depend on the strength of the magic user's abilities.
In this case, Ezekiel levitated Nathan very high but slowly, he didn't want him to be scared or anything .
Then he cast the spell on himself to join him as he was giggling and moving his hands in the air, very excited by what he was seeing ..
The two brothers levitated together in the air, feeling weightless and free. Nathan laughed with joy as Ezekiel controlled their levitation, soaring higher and higher into the sky.
As they floated in the air, Ezekiel suddenly remembered the note in the grimoire. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was much more to magic than what was in the book.
He wondered if the person who wrote the note had found other grimoires . He wondered if he and Nathan could learn even more powerful spells, and what kind of magic existed beyond what was in the book.
As they slowly descended back to the ground, Ezekiel made a decision. He would continue to practice and hone his skills, but he would also search for any other books or resources that could help him and Nathan become better magic users.
"Come on, Nathan," Ezekeil said as they landed back on the ground. "Let's go back to the motel. We have some research to do."
Nathan nodded excitedly, and the two of them headed back to the motel .
They spent a long time floating in the air , it was very cold and also it was very hard for them to breathe, however, the experience was worth it .
Ezekiel looked at his brother as he was running around all the way back home .
That felt very good and it made him keep watching him from above .
" That was magic, " Ezekiel said to him suddenly.
"Magic ?" Nathan's eyes widened.
" I know that those bastards didn't tell you about magic…they kept you in the dark and expected that it would work very well for them "
Nathan was clueless about what Ezekiel was saying .
" Magic is a power that can be controlled by individuals, it can be used to cast spells, perform acts of levitation, control elements and so much more.
In our world, everyone from the age of six and above could use it "
" Me too?" Nathan asked, very excited.
Ezekiel bit his lip very hard then said :" Yes …you too"
Nathan was still trying to process everything that Ezekiel was telling him, it was a lot of information to take in all at once.
Then he just said with the same look in his face :" I can't wait ….I will be just like you !" .
Ezekeil's heart ached , from what he learned from Xylia, his brother will never be capable of using any type of magic and he is going to die before that.
Ezekiel knew that his parents were very high in the society, not that he thought more about it, he realized that there is no chance that they don't know about this …
" Those fucking bastards knew !"
