***************************************************************************************

Two years have passed since my mother saved my from those crazed old men and my Trigger Happy grandfather. I have been trying to act like a normal baby and do need to say that this will probably leave another set of mental scars.

The reason for that is that I can do nothing at all and when I say nothing I mean nothing. I even had to poop myself until recently because my mother had not “trained” me to go to the toilet and I am so happy she finally decided that I would be ready for it.

Also in the beginning I had to be breastfed every day. You know it feels pretty...... lets say uncomfortable to be forced to suck on your own mothers breast.

I feel like my pure soul has been corrupted.

In many novels you read that people like me get found out early because they start reading books and talking when they are supposed to do nothing or cry like a good little baby.

Well I can proudly say that I did nothing of those kind of actions and played the role of a baby almost perfect. You could say I was born for this role. Of course some small incidents happened like sometimes my mother started crying and begging me for forgive her. At those moments I had no other choice then to drop the act of a completely normal baby and I did some things like smiling happily or crawl over to hug her as tightly as possible.

Luckily at those moments she was focused to much at those dark memories to notice that it looked like I understood her. I got to say that I am happy I took those risks because she hasn't had such an outbreak of emotions for the past half year.

In these two years I have been able to learn a lot about this world. The main reasons for this is that my mother has to habit of thinking out loudly when there is no one else around and also because as a baby nobody cares if you hear them talk.

It seems like I was right when I thought that that those old lunatics where using magic. In this world everyone can use magic and ones aptitude for it is revealed when they are five that is also the day that kids will get their name.

A little bit late if u ask me.

It is nice that everyone can learn magic but there is one slight problem.

The magic of this world uses mana that is floating in the air. This mana of this world is infinite but not limitless. What I mean by that is when mana is consumed to use magic it gets replaced by new mana. The problem with this when everyone is consuming a lot of mana it exceeds the rate at which new mana is created.

In order to counter this problem commoners are not allowed to use magic. If a commoner uses magic and it gets found out that commoner will be publicly executed.

Pretty barbaric if u ask me but I guess that those actions have to be taken to be able to enforce this law.

I really can't wait until I can use magic. It heard my mother tell one of the guards named Peter ,who is growing very close to my mother, that she will teach me how to use it since we still are fallen nobles and that means we got the right to use it. I was every relieved when I heard this. Seems like I won't need to become a criminal.

Of course its not like that law is set in stone if a commoner with blue eyes is discovered he will most likely be scouted by one of the noble houses.

The reason I said blue eyes is because your eye color shows the quality of mana one can use.

Normal non magic sensitive people have brown eyes.

People who can use the weakest forms of magic have gray eyes.

After gray comes green. Most of the members of a noble house are born with this color.

Then you have blue. This is also the peak that anyone can have without some sort of bloodline.

After blue comes purple and after purple comes red.

To have blue colored eyes one must have extreme talent. To get purple one needs to have a good bloodline and good talent. To get red colored eyes one must have extremely good talent and a very strong bloodline. With some bloodlines their bearers get some secondary traits when their eye color reaches the purple level like a tail, wings, horns.

Apparently the old rules of the country I live in called the Daemon Empire had an extraordinary thick bloodline and their eye color was another color. To bad no one remembers the color but what every citizen does remember is that the old Demon Emperor had a black tail and black horns.

It would have been a nice adventure to try to kill this Demon Emperor. To bad he already got vanquished hundreds of years ago. This country has been in decline ever since.

Maybe it will be interesting to try to become the next emperor.

Originally the country was an extremely big with a lot of sub-countries but the moment the Demon Emperor died those countries rebelled and cut all of their ties with the Daemon Empire and started waging war against it. If that was not bad enough many local city lords started to rule like kings in their own territory.

At the moment there are a 108 cities in the kingdom and within each city there are two to four noble families.

There still is a Demon Emperor but that is just a title given to the head of the ruling house.

The ruling house is just the most powerful house at the moment but it is not like they are many times stronger then the city lords. If three or four of the more powerful city lords band together and the ruling house doesn't get any help from other city lords they would be doomed.

Because of this the emperors might is not that big and some of the more powerful houses can decide to ignore his commands.

The ruling house has their home base is in the capital called Varin the Crimson City.

I really want to visit this place.

One of the reasons for this is the origin of its imposing name. Apparently one time the commoners tried to rebel against the Demon Emperor and killed a few of his kin. The demon emperor ordered for the gates to be closed for one week before he went on a killing spree. When the guards opened the gates again they where flooded with a sea of blood. Legend has it that this is the reason why the pavement in the capital is crimson

That legend seems pretty interesting.

But the main reason I want to go there is because the grand university of magic is located there.

I also learned a bit about the working of mana it seems that normal mages guide the mana into doing their bidding. This is the easiest way but also has a few flaws. The mana is only being guided by you so it is very easy to counter it by redirecting or making it shatter.

During the time I spend with my mother my feelings for her only increased. Apparently she had a feeling that she was gonna get kicked out of the house because of her relation with my old father who she never talks about and saved up a lot gold to live from when that happens. This is the reason why she doesn't need to work and is able to spend virtually all of her time with me.

Ever since she “trained” me to use the potty my life has been getting better and better.

Well there is one problem called Peter he has been stealing my mothers attention and it seems he will be my new father. It is not like he his a bad guy but and I actually like him a lot but he still is stealing my mothers attention from me and I won't let that happen so easily. Seems like I will abuse my position as a child to interupt most of their “play” time as payback.
