the lesson for magic was quite simple. Pierre made Lucan practice meditation. the goal was to teach a skill known as total concentration. the skill was a must for any aspiring mage.
It was a year before Pierre taught lucan any magic at all because concentration is so important to learn control, especially for Kallin, who has killed before because of lack of control.
the same day, magic lessons started, and he started learning general studies that were normal for nobles.
It had been a long 6 years of learning from his various teachers.
I had become proficient with sword and magic to a point I was comfortable while using both.
Father had told me I was a monster recently for my prowess to absorb the skills taught to me.
In the 6 years, my family grew as my father married and had a child.
It finally came today it had been 6 months since I turned 12. I was a tall child, and i could easily be mistaken for being 15. I have been told i take after giants in my size even though im smaller and my body more resembles a humans in some aspects.
Today was a strange day as i got an invitation to a debutante party for the kings daughter. I found it strange as im still considered way too young for such a party. I brought it up with my father, and he told me to go as it would make the family look bad.
(Debutante: it is a Debut party nobles have at the age of 16)
The ride on the carriage was going fine till there was an abrupt stop followed by the smell of smoke.
I left the carriage against my guards advice to see a horrifying sight. the town of Ludmar was in ruin, homes were burning, and there was panic on the now blood filled streets.
"What kind of fiend would do such a thing. This is a massacre. Gart, come with me. We are checking the surroundings. find who did this and capture them."
"Yes, sir."
I then began to walk through the town it wasn't long till i found what looked like a soldier.
the man had a malicious look in his eyes, followed by a sadistic smile. he raised his sword and began to swing
lucan immediately blocked the incoming attack with his sword and then backed away
he then chanted in a mystical voice, and soon after, cold mist started falling from the blade.
soon after another strike came from the soldier. lucan blocked it, being cut on the cheek.
there were several more clashes before he landed an attack.
as the strike hit cutting the man, his arm began to freeze as well as the man beginning to shake as his armor began to suddenly get cold.
there was one more strike lucan's sword struck his chest, killing the man.
At this time, lucan felt his heart beating fast from panic.
Soon after, almost like instinct, lucan dodged a sword going for his back it ended up barely missing, only leaving a large gash in his back.
Kallin turned and attacked, cutting the man down.
After attacking, the man fell after making a strike to lucan's arm.
Kallin looked around and began to walk back to his carriage after noticing there weren't any more soldiers.
after stepping back in, he froze his wounds to prevent him from bleeding out.
It was at this moment that Lucan finally passed out.
