Chapter 7 - What is magic?

Kaito year 12

Kaito is sitting on the training ground floor with his mother. 

"Kaito, as you know magic is something that flows all around us. It's our way of life." Moon explains. 

Moon is explaining the basis of magic to Kaito. The planet they exist on is called Shea and from the early stages of the planet Magic has always existed. Humans evolved to weild and harness this magic as a ways to defend themselves from the monsters of this world.

The monsters on this world are fierce creatures, so the humans always found new ways to fight them. Moon explains all this to Kaito. "Mom, is all this necessary?" Kaito asks his mother. "Well of course it is, Kaito. You plan on leaving home for your adventure once you turn 14, so you need to know this stuff," Moon tells him.

Kaito sits silent. Moon notices. "What's wrong Kaito?" Moon asks him. "Why have we been inside of this forest, I mean ever since i was born it's all i can remember." Kaito asks his mother.

Moon sighs. "That's a bit harder to explain." Moon says. "Simply put, Kaito, the world just hates us we Kaya are seen as monsters. No better then the ones you see growling and attacking people." Moon explains. "But why?" Kaito asks. 

Moon smiles and shrugs. "I don't know." She playfully says. "But mom!" Kaito says but Moon playfully pinches his cheeks. "Let's change the subject back to your magic." Moon instructs. 

Kaito seems confused. "But mom, it's just fire magic, not like it's anything special." Kaito responds. Moon laughs. "You never know Kaito, there could be more to it then what meets the surface." Moon says. "Kaid and Kate can use tons of magic. Why am i stuck with just one." Kaito says dissapointed. 

Moon pats his head. "Kaito, the world gives what it gives. I beileve you just need to give yourself time. You are a late bloomer afterall." She says. "But i'm not even a flower." Kaito responds innocently and Moon laughs. 

Mages magical properties can change person to person. Some people who use flames can only fire them off like a ranged weapon. Others can use it as armor to enhance their bodies and increase the potency of their attacks. Moon explains this to Kaito who is trying his best to keep up. 

"You Kaito can do both which already makes you quite special. Also." Moon holds her hand out for Kaito to grab. 

Kaito reaches his hand out and grabs Moons hand and his eyes glow a vibrant red. "You are like me." Moon says as she releases Kaito's hand. 

He inspects his hand and he wonders what just happened. "Watch closely now Kaito." Moon says as she just vanishes. 

Kaito blinks twice and rubs his eyes. "Mom...?" He silently questions. She appears back. "That's just a quick teleport trick i can do. Well you can do it too now." Moon says and Kaito is surprised. "How?" He asks. 

Moon laughs. "Just think about wanting to go somewhere and poof!" Moon explains. Kaito begins thinking. 

Moon then remembers something and starts to tell Kaito, "Since you're so new to this, you can only teleport one-" But Kaito disappears before she can finish her explanation.

Kaito teleports in his room on the bottom bunk of his bed. 

Kaid looks down from the top bunk and notices him down there. "Have you been there this entire time?" Kaid asks him. Kaito laughs. "That is so cool!" Kaito exclaims. "Kaid look at this, I can teleport!" Kaito says. 

Kaid hops off his bunk and begins watching. Kaito thinks real hard and tries to teleport and nothing happens. "Wow dude, super cool." Kaid sarcastically says. Across the room Kate has her face buried in a book. "Guys quiet down!" She demands.
