"Magic is a manifestation of someone's life energy taking a physical form in which it affect the person's surrounding." Alice reads the definition of magic in a textbook.
The textbook further adds that magic has 4 types of elements that each have their own awakening. These elements are Fire, Earth, Water and Wind.
"Wait Wha-What do you mean awakening?" Lily tilt her head in confusion.
"Well, when we say awakening… we refer to reaching a new level of power, which means leveling up your element."
Alice giving her own thoughts to Lily. She pick up a different book that talks about the stages of awakening.
Magic has 3 types of awakening. 1 is Basic awakening, 2 is Advance awakening, 3 is Special awakening. Basic awakening is awakening your element and using basic skills of your element. Advance awakening is split into two categories. 1 is Mind awakening and 2 is Body awakening.
The third type of awakening is Special awakening.
*Bam* Alice closes the book and puts it down on the ground. She begin's to feel excited.
"Lily, time to know what type of element you posses."
"Wha-What?" Lily surprised hearing what Alice just said. She trys to explain to her that she has not awaken nor know how to.
"Do not worry it seems you already posses a functional core."
"A core?" Lily wonders if this is another type of magic.
"The central part of someone's spirit which it helps with harnessing and using magic."
"So how-how do you know my core is functioning?"
"Your eyes…" Lily puzzled again by Alice. She notice the confusion in Lily and further adds. "…You see Lily people who do not posse's magic have the same eye color which is brown. Then those who do posse's it have blue, violet, indigo, red and green eye color."
"Wh-Why does have a different eye color matter?"
"Well alchemist believe that it is a symbol of someone's will."
Lily begin's to have more questions, but she recalls a time when Aunty Futa told her if she kept asking stupid questions that start with why then she won't get any knowledge but just get confused. At first she did not take Aunty Futa's words to mind believing that she is scared to answer her questions. Now she almost did what Aunty Futa said. Realizes that she only has one month, she decides to stop asking questions that will not benefit her.
"Th-Then how can I know my element?"
"Oh! I completely forget that we need an orb(searches her bag but finds nothing) Lily wait here while I go fetch something in the kingdom." In a stressful voice she turns around and runs straight to the Mercian Kingdom.
Meanwhile inside the priest office a door opens with wooden stairway that leads to an underground room. As you go down the cry's of pain and death could be heard with every step you take to get to the underground room. The priest finally reaches a big black door.
*Creak* The priest swings the door open entering slowly into a room that is full of white walls, scientist running around and merchines dissecting people and extracting their blood.
A scientist notice the priest standing by the entrance of the door and approach him.
"Good day Father Mexi." Speaks in a very respectful manner and hands the priest who's name is Mexi paper documents.
"Mhm(looks at the scientist). Don't call me that when we are in here. Though it seems everything is working out as we planned." Flipping through the documents.
"Yes, and it is all thanks to Sir Albert's theories. And sorry for calling you Father, just a habit I picked upped."
"Is the crystal ready?" Lifts his head and looks at a green crystal half full with a red liquid inside it.
The crystal is 26 meters above ground with multiple tubes connected to it. The tubes are directly connected to multiple human heart extracting their blood from their bodies.
"50/50 as we are still short with 21 hearts for it to be able to work." Tilting his head downwards a grin creps up his face.
"Then I shall give you two weeks to complete it." Annoyed hearing what the scientist just said he turns around and heads to the stairs, but hears a man devoid of blood say.
"Listen hear Mexi(punts) as scriptures say..."wherever there is darkness their is light as well."…And I curse you that you will fall!!!" Drawing his last breath he falls to the ground with the tube pulling his heart out.
Though Mexi is pleased to hear that he continues forward climbing the steps.
'It is a real shame that may not come true. As that person you just cursed is the purest being in the world.' The scientist thinks to himself glaring at the back of Mexi.
While Mexi continues heading to his office two men stand outside his office. Glaring at each other with a intent to kill one another.
They both look to be around their twenties and both of them having the same brown hair color. The one on the left wearing a blue suit, mascular body and indigo eyes. The one on the right wearing cloths that were worn in the 1100s, a aesthetic body and yellow colored eyes.
"Hey Nono why the fuck are you standing here?" The one on the right speaks while spitting on the man on the left who's name is Nono.
"…" Nono looking down on him, his mind and heart disgusted by him but decides to not show his expression to him.
"Tell me this why the fuck is a non-believer doing inside the Great Church?"
"…"
"Well let me excuse myself. I will continue hoping for the day the Great Church dethrone you as one of the guardians (smiles) and when that happens I promise to kill you." Walks past Nono, with one hand on his face and smiling.
IN THE MARKET PLACE OF THE MERCIAN KINGDOM
"Yo Victoria we need to come up with a plan to infiltrate the Great Church." Sam speaks.
TBC.
