In a field, covered in blue flowers, as far as the eye can see, a clear river with the surface sparkling like stars from the uv rays of the sun, creating this beautiful, picturesque view that could bring peace to the most chaotic hearts.
In this peaceful field, there is a disturbance in space, as a dark purple portal appears and a young man with indifferent, emotionless eyes steps out, he stands there, unmoving, admiring the view in front of him, as he could feel his fears drifting away, as if the land has a magical effect.
" where am I?"
'I have no idea where I am, I didn't really have an idea of where I was going when I opened that portal, I just wanted to disappear, go somewhere, where I could escape from my problems, I suppose my emotions resonated with my element and it connected a portal to this place'.
'Now what? I'm 100 percent sure they will hunt me down and there's probably a bounty out for my head, should I go back to the orphanage, they might cause trouble, but the orphanage is supported by the traders guild and it will be a bad idea to attack them, guess I don't need to worry'. You might have already guessed, this young man is Astro.
With no particular goal in mind, he just kept walking in this beautiful yet strange land, Astro just kept walking until he could see the sun starting to set, casting an orange glow on the land below, and this point he has been walking for hours and he could finally see something other than blue flowers, he could see a forest.
Thinking about finding something to eat and a spot to dwell, he took his first step into the forest, it's not dark yet so, he is still generally safe, which is why he needs to find a cave or something for the night, then tomorrow he can go back to civilisation.
'My mana has recovered, using such a long distance spell really drained me, now I can use my powers again'. Astro thought before he disappeared from his position, appearing atop a 20 meter tall tree, that bore some purple fruit, called aqua berries because of amount of water they contain. Grabbing a couple, he quickly disappeared from his location as he appeared back on the ground.
Short distance teleportation barely uses any mana because his affinity with the space element is so high, " he" on the other hand posses the element of fire, there is something different with his fire, it's black in colour and possesses a trait of death, I guess that would explain his obsession with destruction and killing, because mages, usually embody their element and this also includes battle mages like him.
Astro kept walking deeper into the forest, looking for a cave or a hollow tree, since he plans to rest before he return to civilisation tomorrow.
While enjoying the fruit in his hand, the ground starts shaking and the roars and cries of multiple beasts reaches his ears, as he looks ahead in the distance, he sees something that made his blood turn cold, beasts, probably a hundred or more running towards him at full speed.
'shit!' Is what he thought .
What caught his attention though, is the girl in front, seemingly the target of the beasts rage.
"You moron, are you blind, get out of here!" A shout brought him out of his stupor, as he quickly teleported himself atop a tree, a distance away, shocking the girl with his disappearance.
Releasing a sign of relief, Astro thought why can't he catch a break without something happening, talk about bad luck, but brining his attention back to the scene before him.
He can see that the girl is fairly powerful as non of the beasts have been able to get close to her and if any was able to get close, it was quickly cut down by her sword.
" Seems like she doesn't need any help, I should get out of here". That's what he thought before.
ROAR!!
A roar that shook the trees and he even felt a tremor in his bones.
