There seemed to be 4 main Mana types but they had deviant forms, that the book had yet to cover or explain, and it was already around 1 in the morning.
I tried to sleep but the general buzz of maids outside my door kept me awake for most of the night, so when I finally did drift off I was still extremely tired.
I greeted Ither at my door, he was the one who got me up "Well why arent you up and early, for an old man" he chuckled "And you look so energized for a young person" he joked "well I need you to get ready, also I heard you checked out a Book on magic" I nodded and he smiled "Well have you learned anything yet, or done anything new yet" I shook my head "Not quite yet, I mean I knew there were 4 elements but I still haven't learned the deviant elements yet" he nodded "you are moving in the territory generally learned in schools, but thankfully you have Me" I sighed "what would a senile old man know" he frowned "quite a bit actually, well hurry up and get ready, I have a surprise for you" I nodded and closed the door and changed into a black and emerald green suit.
i walked into the hallway "Nice choice" he was holding a sheathed sword "Since you are my student you are allowed to carry a sword on you, but don't show any intent on using it... or the guards will you know" I nodded and grabbed the sword, but he kept on griping it "Dont even move your arms towards it, the guards don't trust humans" I nodded "Wear it on your back, since its just for show and not practical use" I nodded and he released his grip on the sword, and I swung it over my head and clamped the ropes together "SO are we ready to go" he nodded.
The front garden area in the morning was just as stunning as it had been yesterday, the sun while not fully up yet still seemed to complete everything tying it all together.
we enter a carriage "So shall I explain deviant magic to you" I nodded quickly "So Deviant magic is when two types of mana combine and form 1 new molecule, now this can be done forcefully but it causes Mana Disease which no mage wants, but there are many types of combinations but some of the most common are Fire and Earth creating Lava, or very rarely Metal and then there is a thing when two fire manas combine it makes Lightning" he rested his Hands on his knees "Then there is Fire and wind, creating inferno." he breathed out "and the final more basic one is Water and wind creating ice" I nodded "can you teach me more" he shook his head in disappointment "I can not, I don't know many types of deviant magic, I myself have ice but its very rare for someone to have any" I nodded "How does someone test what types of Magic they have" he looked out the window "Im not meant to tell this to many people, but we have found a special Crystal that seems to glow if the correct type of mana is put into it" I nodded and then thought of something "What if its deviant magic" he smiled and nodded "you still catch on quick, that can trip the crystals up" I was thinking now, if I could find or use one of these crystals then I could learn my mana types "Could I use them" he sighed "we will see".
we arrived in front of a massive gate, the sun shined off of it all while vines hung off the fence, he sighed, I finally noticed he seemed stressed "Do you and your family have a good relationship" He shrugged "I don't know anymore" he sighed again "Well the guards will let us in" I nodded, my palms were sweating "Are you stressing it" I nodded "I haven't been in an formal stuff for a long time" he chuckled "Your only like 6 or 7, but you don't act like it" I was tempted to tell him my secret but I didn't in the end.
we slowly moved through the massive area, and eventually came to a stop "I still think your house is nicer" he chuckled "never heard that one" I shrugged and let the guards lead the way, to a massive area the was outside and had 3 thrones made of stone and vines, there were 2 big ones and a small one.
"Welcome to our Kingdom Ezra, we have heard your tales of saving Ither" I bowed quickly "What is the boy doing" the king asked, Ither tapped me "I belive that this is an thing to show loyalty and honour to the humans" the king nodded "Then it will be accepted this time, now straight to business, Ither what is it that you need from us or what does the boy want" Ither breathed out "I have talked with Ezra and he has accepted me as his master, but we still need permission from You to allow a human to live in the kingdom" the king sighed "Does the boy lack a last name, Father" Ither shook his head again "He chooses to Denounce it, for the wrong they have committed to him" the king nodded "and what Wrong would that be?" Ither sighed "The greatest sin against a youth beyond straight murder" The king nodded "is there proof" Ither nodded "he can show you the proof if you would like" The king nodded "I would".
Ither motioned for me to raise My shirt, I hesitated but brought my shirt up in the end, most of my back was covered in scars, lines that were faded but shared my past "That is evidence enough, you may lower your shirt Ezra" I lowered my shirt "He has no family and has shown incredible talent for magic" Ither nodded, the king stood up and walked towards me "I want to know what do you want" he unsheathed my sword and pointed it at my neck "Tell me What is it you want from me" I was forced to look up at him "I would like to stay in this Kingdom, I have no intentions to return to the humans" the sword dropped to the ground "Ill give you a few years to answer that, since you are so young, but I will also grant you that request of staying in my kingdom" I bowed again "Ither, I will leave him in your care since he is your student" Ither nodded "Teach him our customs and our History" Ither nodded.
"Now will you stay for dinner as our guests" Ither nodded "We shall" the room instantly Became a less hostile environment, everything seemed way more calm "Nice meeting you Ezra, I have quite high expectations of you" my head must of tilted "Because Ither has described you as a very talented person, I wish you the best of luck in whatever venture you take" the king left the hall, leaving the queen me and either in the room "So how have you been Serylin, well I hope" she nodded and stood up "You know your granddaughter has been waiting for your return" I was just standing there aquardly, I was in the middle of a family reunion "Sorry Ezra I forgot to introduce myself, I am Srylin Durealian" she extended her hand "I belive a handshake is a human custom right" I nodded "generally a king and queen wouldn't offer such an honor to a commoner like me" she threw her hands in just pure not care "Dosent matter now, you're equivalent to royalty, father never took any Students not until you so we have high expectations" she was walking by and patted my shoulder "Dont forget you have the backing of a kingdom"
"So what did you think Ezra" Ither asked me "Kind people" he shrugged "Just wait till they get to know you" I sighed "Well we should go meet my Grandaughter, she may be a bit rough on you" he then said under his breath "Hopefully" we began to leave the Hall.
