"Mana runs in everything. It's up to the mage to learn and master it. A mage needs to know his or her limits. It could lead to endangering themselves and endangering others."
Aeon Mage- Mastered their magic. Headmasters, Scholars, Royal Family Members, Emperors Royal Guards.
Adept Mage- Greater understanding of their magic such as teachers, doctors, and mages that work within the news center.
Central Mage- the borderline understanding of their magic like soldiers of the Amoria region, Ardian, Magic Academy Students.
Novice Mage- learning how to work their magic.
Mages are classified by their mage rank. All mages start as Novice mages learning how to learn their magic and its fundamentals. For some jobs, you must meet a certain required mage rank to take it. To undergo a promotion to the next mage rank the Four Royal Families created a system called a "Duel of Progression". A match between mages of the same rank that is foreseen by the current Headmaster at Ardian Magic Academy and one of the members of the Four Royal Families. In some rare cases, both sides have been promoted.

Village of Rupta Year XX03
The sun is barely visible in the sky.

HOOT HOOT
An owl delivers the mail outside on the porch of the Cordelia family home.
"Yawn" a tired Bri wakes up.
"What day is it?"
TAP TAP TAP
Bri looks out her window.
"Morning" Axelle waves from outside. "Ready to train?"
"Axelle you're here" with her sleepy eyes and groggy voice staring at him. "He looks so real" as she heads back to sleep.
TAP TAP TAP
Bri bolts outta bed. "Oh, it is you!"
"Alrighty" Bri puts on her clothes and heads outside to her dining room.
"Good morning Bri" her mother greets her. A middle-aged woman with waist-length black wavy hair, with very light touches of teal within her hair, brown eyes, and wearing a cooking apron.
"Morning Mother did Father already head to work."
"Yes, he did the same time he was leaving Axelle came by. That boy sure does wake up early. I asked if he wanted some breakfast but he kindly turned it down and waited patiently for you to wake up "
"Oh dear, I hope I didn't make it wait too long."
"Maybe around 10 minutes."
"Okay"
Bri walks past her mom going near the front door.
"Bri honey do please be careful this time."
She puts on her shoes "Don't worry Mother we shall be close to the house this time. I believe you can see us as you peak through the window here" Bri points at the window closest to the front door.
Bri is about to exit the front door" Also Mother."
"Yes"?"
"Did father mention anything about the "gift"?"
"Oh yes he did he's going to find the last piece of it today after he finishes work"
"Excellent"
"Also Bri could you also pass me the newspaper outside"
"Of course Mother"
Bri walks outside and passes the newspaper along to her mother.
"Thank you, dear. Be safe"
"Will do"
SHUT
Bri leaves as she heads off to train with Axelle.
Bris's mother then sits down at the dining and reads the daily news. "Be aware of the rebellion group "Aero Desperados" seeking what is right and undoing this region's wrongdoing" she speaks aloud.
Axelle and Bri continue to walk down a short path that leads to a nearby stream.
"Aero Desperados?" Bri asks.
"Yeah, I saw the news article that arrived this morning just before you came out. Supposedly a group of Orphans from the remnants of that civil war that happened a couple of years ago"
"If I remember correctly that war was fought in the region of Amoria but I forgot who was involved my father told me that story because his job was affected by it and had to stay home" Bri adds.
"My father helped Amoria's Strategic General Galen Rossi I remember him telling me it was a war about using the resources for the walls and military and not giving to the poor. The Valentine Family tried to intervene and give them a loathsome of money but it was already past that point. It makes sense why the kids of those parents would want to start something" Axelle responds.
The two continue walking until they reach the stream.
"The Great War Hero Galen Rossi" Bri asks.
"Father told me he was given that position as Strategic General because his great-grandfather helped to defeat NYX."
"I wonder what plan they came up with to defeat NYX?"
"Am not sure but we all know it was down to the Heavenly Mages that finally defeated NYX" Axelle remarks as he has a conflicted look on his face.
"Were you surprised by my spell yesterday?!" Bri says as he tries to lighten up the mood.
"Y-Yeah you sure did where did you learn that?" Axelle wonders.
"I've been secretly practicing that spell to show you but good thing I perfected it in the nick of time"
Axelle looks slightly at her arm and sees the scar from the other day.
"So it can remove scars," Axelle thinks to himself. "Perfected? Am not too sure about that wolf was able to get through. I would say work on the time it takes to set-"
Bri pouts as her eyes begin to tear up.
"W-wait it was a great technique and it saved us yesterday. I-I was just worried you know. That I might not be there next time to save you. So you should practice it."
AHAHA
"It's always so funny to see you so flustered. Am kidding" Bri chuckles.
"Your mean," Axelle says playfully.
"Jeez, I am just kidding" Bri laughs.
Haha
Axelle laughs.
Bri flicks her left hand towards Axelle.
Water from the stream jumps out and soaks Axelle.
SPLASH
"Haha," Axelle tries to wipe himself.
"You let your guard down hahaha" Bri teases him pointing and laughing.
"Now am soaking wet" as he dries his hands.
"Can't you warm yourself up with your fire?" Bri asks.
"I have to change my clothes am not trying to burn myself"
Bri looks guilty as he walks towards him.
"Well, I am sorry here I can-"
SPLASH
Axelle splashes water on Bri from the stream.
"You let YOUR guard down" Axelle mocks Bri.
"Why you"
Axelle and Bri enter the small stream as they splash and play with one another.
Moments pass by.
The two were fully drenched in water.
"I guess we didn't do no training"
"Yeah, but at least we had fun. Woah its gone this late in the afternoon" Bri smiles.
"Ok but we do need to change our clothes now"
"Dont worry about it" Bri waves her hand as she extends her left arm out.
The water molecules from both of them begin to collect in the palm of Bris's hand.
"Wow didn't know you could do that"
"It's one of the first things that my father and mother taught me to have control of the flow of water. They did say it can become a problem if I don't train it properly but I don't think that'll be an issue." Bri says as she smiles.
Axelle smiles back.
"Hey, you two!" a middle-aged man with a fair skin tone, blue eyes, black side combed wavy hair, and a beard calls out. Wearing a white button-up shirt, dress pants, and carrying a briefcase.
"Father" Bri says excitedly running up the path.
She gives him a big hug.
"How was my beautiful little girl today"
"I was good me and Axelle just played by the stream as you told us to"
"Really? Did you have fun?"
"Yeah, we sure did. I also got to show Axelle some of the spells that I've been practicing"
"Oh just make sure Bri that you don't use too much" as he pats her head.
Axelle slowly approaches very cautiously.
BADUMP BADUMP
Axelle's heart races.
"Is he going to be mad at me? Is he going to scold me for yesterday? No, I should be fine because Bri's mom was nice to me. She even offered me breakfast. Oh, this is her dad. Completely different. Maybe he's going to warn me? Maybe we shouldn't play with magic anymore?" All these thoughts spiral through Axelles head as he anxiously waits to hear what Bris's father would say.
"Axelle" Bris's father speaks.
"
"M-Mr.Cordelia how was your day" Axelle responds.
"Just a normal day at work no off-putting things to report. I just wanna say-"
"Oh here it comes" Axelle winces his eyes as if he was getting punished.
"Thank you for saving Bri yesterday"
Axelle's eyes widened.
"I know she can be a handful at times as she just learned her magic but please look out for her"
"Your w-welcome sir"
"And you little missy you have to be careful okay."
"Yes I will Father"
"Alright" her father smiles as prepares to head inside their home. "Oh yes and one thing Bri I have the "thing""
"Alright," Bri responds as her father takes out an item wrapped in cloth from his briefcase.
She slowly grabs it from her father and turns back to walk towards Axelle.
"What's that" Axelle asks.
Bri slowly reveals it unraveling from the cloth.
A beautiful necklace with many different sea stones, charms and good luck symbols on it.
"Wow that's cool"
"Here this is for you" Bri says.
"Woah really what for?"
"The symbol of our friendship and for always being there for me. Supposedly this necklace brings good luck and an increase in mana to whoever wears it"
"Wow thank you but I don't have anything for you."
"That's okay Axelle you don't have to give anything" Bri smiles.
Axelle attempts to put it on him. "Woah it's a little too big for me but I just let it dangle or just wear across my chest for now"
"How does it look?"
"Great you look like a warrior with that on"
"Hmph with this mighty necklace and my blade of flames I shall dimish all who stand in my way with my Fire Blast" Axelle monologues.
Bri chuckles to herself "All alright Mr.Warrior of Fire"
They both smile with a clear sunny sky.
However sunny days will fade away.
