I woke up sometime during the night. I couldn't sleep well. It felt as if something in me will not let me have peace. A longing need for something. I drank a glass of water on my nightstand, it worked for now. I tried laying back down but I could not stop tossing a turning. Finally I just got up. I looked over at something almost… glowing? I tiptoed over to the object. Wiping my eyes to get rid of the night slime I noticed it was the magic book. How, why, when is it glowing?? I had so many questions. With no answers.
I walked back to my bed with the book in hand. I sat down and reread the entire thing until I got to the last few pages. The magic pages. There was three in total. A healing spell, a spell of fire, and a shield. The healing spell seemed simple. All one needed to do was repeat a chant with hand motions, it either happened or it didn't. The fire spell was much more complex
"A spell of fire, or also known as infernox, is a magic that will create a ball of fire to be used however the weilder pleases. Once mastered the flame can turn into a downfall of a civilization.
First: Think of anything that makes you mad. The thing you hate the most in this world. Chanel that feeling thought out your body. Let it overcome you.
Second: Try to put it all into your hands. All of the anger you have move it into your fingertips. Feel it move from one spot to another.
Third: Bring it out. Let it come out of your palm, through your fingers holding your hand. Let it go. Let everything you have out into that spot.
Fourth: Do what you wish.
Practice will help you become better. Try over and over again until it is second nature to oneself."
The shield did not seem as bad either. It will just take more time for it to become reliable.
"A shield is one of the warriors best tools. It can protect the owner while still able to damage the opponent. A magic shield can do so much more. Surrounding the owner in every position, protecting them from every element and harm. It is still able to destroy someone if they wish. The shield is a hard one to master. It can take years for someone to learn how to properly use it. Yet once it's completed it will be your best friend.
First: Remember a time you had to protect someone. Or had to be possessive over someone / thing. Think of how you felt in that moment. A time you were helpless. Bring it all that to your surface.
Second: Picture a sheid infront of you. Use your emotions to help build and guide it.
Third: Use your emotions to create the shield. Push them all out, our of your skin and brain. Until they become it.
Fourth: Use it all. Change the size, position, and portion
Practicing over and over will be the only thing that will help,you advance in this."
How will I be able to do that?? I have never experienced any of those feelings or emotions.
I sat up most of the night trying to practice "infernox". I gave up on shielding after thirty minutes. There was no Improvement. Right before I was about to give up on "infernox" too, a small light appeared. It was gone within the same time, but there was still light! I did it! I made fire!! I Never fell back asleep. By the time I took a break it was almost dawn.
I got out of the shower and put my normal training clothes on. I put my hair into another bun then continued to walk down the stairs. There was no sign of Tel being awake. I went into the kitchen to make us breakfast. It took me a while before I could find where he kept all the materials. "I found it!" I whispered. Tel had mentioned in passing one day that he loved waffles, so that's what I made. It took around twenty minutes before I was done. It just so happened Tel woke up then too. "Good morning Tel!" I tried sounding as enthusiastic as I could. "How did you sleep?" I continued. He looked as if he was half asleep still. "Good morning Raven. I slept well, and you?" Tel responded. We had some small talk. He also thanked me for making breakfast, he said he loved it!
The day went by pretty fast. By the time training was over the sun had long ago set. On the way walking home I started a conversation, "I am sorry, Tel, for not taking this seriously as I should have. I am also sorry for yelling at you when you tried explaining it all to me." "You are okay Raven. I understand your reaction. This is my life though, I will do whatever it takes to protect them. You are the key here. You are vital. I do forgive you for past actions. There are other ways to go about it though. I hope I'm the future we can choose one of them." He politely explained to me. "Thank you, I know there are and I am willing to. I am in for learning, training, and the practicing. I will give it my all for the rest of the days we are doing this." I tried sounding sincere. Tel and I had some small talk after the conversation. Nothing too important. We did our nightly routine; eat, workout, go to our rooms, and sleep. There was one difference this night then the last though. I practiced my magic before sleeping. I can finally hold a fire for three seconds now.
I walked into the bathing room, my appearance caught my eye first. I looked drained. I finished up everything I needed to. Fell right into a deep sleep before I could think anymore.
