As he was finishing his sentence However, it was already too late crystal turned dark the moment I placed my hand on it and it exploded Shards flew in all directions fortunately nobody was injured except for The Grandmaster Everyone got startled
and started shouting at me
"Kid what look what have you done"
The Grandmaster tried to calm everyone down by saying
"Calm down everyone luckily it was just the eye nothing serious no need to resent the kid for something that wasn't his fault"
As everyone went quiet he then continued by saying to me
"However Adam don't you ever try to use your magic it's very dangerous for everyone around you even yourself"
I became emotional when I was a child i dreamt of being a strong mage just like my grandfather so hearing those words teared me up the grandmaster felt bad and told me
"I am Sorry child but you were born with Darkness magic this magic ever since it was discovered nobody was able to use it without losing an arm or even his life due to it being very unstable and impossible to control for that reason it was forbidden and seen as useless magic by people"
As The Grandmaster finished saying that the entire crowd started laughing their lungs out as they said
"hahaha haha haha What is the point of even being born with an element if u can't use it"
"Seriously HAHA HAHAHA"
"If you cast a spell you can lose your life what kind of magic is that HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"Better if he weren't born with magic in the first place at least the grandmaster's eye wouldn't be damaged what a disappointment hahaha"
As they kept repeating these words and laughing The Grandmaster got furious and Shouted
"ALL OF YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW"
but by the time he finished shouting I was already running away towards my home as the grandmaster thought to himself
"Poor kid he wasn't even given a chance to try considering what family he is from he is only destined for cruelty"
As I got home I went to my room where I would lay into my bed and spend the rest of the time crying till evening as evening approached dinner was being prepared so I had no choice but to leave my room cause I was hungry as I was on the way to the dining hall I saw my brothers and sisters however the way they looked at me was full of disgust
I was shocked by their look and tried to forget about It . I sat at the table and had dinner when we finished dinner my father loudly spoke to me
"ADAM I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR YOU BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE JUST USELESS TRASH"
I asked him why he was speaking to me in such a tone
"YOU DARE TO ASK WHEN NOT ONLY DID YOU INJURE THE GRANDMASTER'S EYE YOU ALSO WERE BORN WITH DARKNESS MAGIC"
I started crying as I said these words
"It wasn't my fault"
However my father didn't want to have any of it and shouted at me
"I WANT YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE THIS INSTANT WE ARE A FAMILY KNOWN FOR RAISING THE STRONGEST MAGES USELESS TRASH LIKE YOU DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE HERE"
the instant he said that I broke down mentally even more than before and ran away from the house. I went to the center of the city which had a big statue but was also a memorial for my grandfather who was called
"The Mage King"
The reasons why he was called that were simple in terms of power and intellect he was unmatched by his peers he also wrote theories about magic and mana which he researched for most of his life till the last moments of his life were numbered I never met my grandfather since he died of old age when I was a newborn
but my mother as I got older used to read me stories about him but that's all in the past now. It was a cold night I fell asleep next to my grandfather's statue as I was falling asleep a silhouette approached me and said
"You kid remind me of myself how cruel and rough it was during my childhood and what I needed to go through to get here I hope one day you can do the same that I'll do right now"
as he finished his sentence I fell asleep next morning I woke up in an unfamiliar room
the room itself wasn't that fancy but a small sized room bed was located in a corner of the room while doors were a few steps away from the bed in the room there was also a small table with a chair as I finished analysing the room I heard foot steps aproaching the door so I got scared and hid under the bed sheets
as foot steps stopped you could hear sounds of knocking on the door
"KNOCK KNOCK"
after knocking I heard a strangely familiar voice calling my name
"Adam are you awake"
I replied with a still startled voice
"Yes I am"
After my reply I could hear doors open and I would see a familiar face it was The Grandmaster I was very shocked as I saw him and I asked
"Grandmasterrr what are you doing here and where am I"
Then he told me
"Don't worry child everything will be fine come now let's have breakfest"
I asked him while starting to shed tears
"Why did you help me "
He told me while coming up to me and hugging me
"I will explain everything during breakfest now come"
As he said that i stood up from the bed and followed him to the dining hall
