Chapter 1 - Prelude

The Administration of Mages gathers together to discuss a matter of importance. "Where's the leader, we need his assistance hiding this artifact from that young sorcerer." He's becoming so powerful it is calling out to him" yelled the co-leader. People in robes of different colors symbolizing the power they hold paced around in a panic trying to find the leader. In an instant, the leader bursts through the doors and the room falls silent. "Another dream? I feel it calling to me it's even showing me visions" said Greymont, while getting up leaving my room and putting on my trench coat. All I can remember is that day when the pinnacle of Aether as we know it told me to push past my limits. "Today is the day I learn a forbidden spell." l say, while walking past the very room of my dream. In that same corridor, a shadowy cloaked figure passed me I couldn't make out their face, but his Aether felt familiar. Within moments of walking past him, he cast a spell that showed me the location of the spell I was in search of. "Today's the day isn't it kid?" Whispers the cloaked figure, I immediately look back but the cloaked figure is already gone. "Could it be you?" I say, while touching his chin with a smirk. I made my way to the dungeon where the artifact was held. I feel the presence of the artifact and traps it's hard to tell the difference. After an entire day of disabling traps, I finally reached the final room. But I still hesitantly placed my hand on the handle of the door as I felt multiple presences. However, I opened the door anyway only to reveal a deep glowing blue stone. It called to me, "Come to me, show me your power and master me." Although it was ominous I did as I was told. And I placed my hand on it and immediately I felt most of my Aether get taken by it. In an instant a deep purple portal the color of my Aether opened with the inward suction of a black hole. I was caught inside of it and flew through a dark ethereal tunnel before getting thrown into an unknown starry night sky. I was extremely high up in the chilly atmosphere, I was tumbling through the cold air. BOOOM! Abruptly I crashed through a two-story house landing in the living room leaving a crater on the floor. The loud crash awakens a sleeping teenage boy. He lies there to process the fact he has a hole in his ceiling and can see the moon. "What the hell is going on?" He exclaims under the moonlight pouring through his ceiling. He jumps up, and as he walks past the hole in his floor identical to the one in his ceiling, panic sets in on his way to the stairs. He rushes to the house phone in the kitchen to call his parents, but nothing happens when he calls the number. Chills are sent up his spine when he hears a rumbling under the pile of debris in his living room. "What was that sound?" He says as he carefully turns around to investigate the crash site. And to his surprise he sees a human leg sticking out of the debris. "No way a person just fell through my roof, was he trying to rob the house or something?" He says on high alert grabbing a nearby metal pole fearing that he might be in danger. At that moment I get out of the rubble and survey my surroundings. The moment I see the kid armed with a metal baseball bat I get on guard. "Fireball," I exclaim, a ball of fire appears at my fingertips and I aim it at him while the flames are roaring fierce. "Who the hell are you?" The boy yells, in a panicked state. I look at him, watching his every move, I reply, "I'm Greymont Miller. Who are you?" I ask curiously, but still on guard. The boy freaking out replies, "Why the hell are you here, why fuck did you crash through my roof and room, landing in my living room? My parents are going to kill me!" He yells walking back, and forth dropping the bat. He puts his hands on his head wondering what he's going to tell his parents. I look at the boy, and extinguish the fireball in my fingertips. "I was exploring the Dungeon of Spatial Magic on my world. And I touched a stone that took my magic and activated. It sent me flying through your home. My apologies." I say bowing my head, to show my sympathy. The boy looks at me eyes wide. "So what are you?! A god damn alien?" He exclaims, clearly about to lose it.
