As you may remember, I gave most of the species the ability to move atoms; basically magic. It’s pretty rare, though. Only few people are randomly born with it, and as such they’re seen as a higher class than pretty much everyone else. OGG started training their ‘mages’ for the second attack. The other mages did pretty much whatever they want; while some become soldiers, many become craftsmen, farmers or even cooks.

However, after the first attack, the various nations joined together and created ‘The Coalition of Light!’. It’s essentially a council made of the rulers of each species. Their goal is to support each other by making mutually beneficial decisions. One of their first agreements was that every mage must be officially trained for at least a year by someone who is recognized for their talent and knowledge in the craft. They also agreed that every species would station a small battalion of soldiers at the other capitals, to help protect them in case of attack.

I’m currently watching Crusch Lulu, a promising lizardman mage apprentice. Well, promising for lizardman standards. She’s currently concentrating, trying to heal a small cut on her hand. After a few minutes, it’s sealed, leaving only a faint white line. An elf would have been able to do it in a few dozen seconds; that’s how much better they are.

When she finished healing herself, Crusch ran to her master, overjoyed with her small accomplishment. Seeing as he was a prideful elf, he sneered at her and told her to do better next time. He then took out his knife and cut her hand, drawing blood. What an arrogant jerk!

I could smite the elf, but I think it’ll be more fun if his ‘useless’ apprentice surpassed him completely. As Crusch tried to heal herself again, all the while crying, I modified her DNA a bit. If a lizardman’s magic power were one, and an elf’s was five, then hers would be ten; more than enough to completely overshadow her master.

Crusch gasped; as if the deities themselves had blessed her, she felt magic pour itself into her body. It was as if her pitiful amount of power had been multiplied by ten! Her wound healed itself in just a couple seconds, and didn’t leave any form of scarring; it was as if it had never been there.

Now crying tears of joy, Crusch kneeled and started praying. She wasn’t sure which deity had blessed her, so she prayed to them all, thanking them for their help. Silly girl, it wasn’t the deities, it was me!

When he heard Crusch praying, the elf walked over. He wasn’t very happy. When she showed him her healed hand, he yelled at her, saying there was no way she could have done it so quickly or well, and she must have cheated. Getting furious, he took his knife, saying he’d teach her a lesson. Crusch responded by creating a wooden club that smacked him on his head, knocking the elf out. That’ll teach that prick!

Ahh...I’m going to keep tabs on this mage. I have a feeling that she’ll become very influential in the future, and have a pivotal role in the upcoming wars.
