《This time its my Turn》Chapter 10 First mages

Advertisement

In a small clearing just outside of Greenleaf village, two little boys can be seen running with an old bag on their back.

Little Mike for the first time added weights when following little John. He never carried weights because keeping up with little John's exercises already made him too tired.

But this mornings failed awakening increased his resolve to became a warrior.

'If Jhon can carry one kilogram while running I can do I too.'

After a few minutes, little John noticed that Mike's breathing hard and slowing down with every step.

He can't helped but admire the little guys resolve, for little Mike didn't even have a single sign of giving up or stopping.

"Let's take some rest first. Do you know what a stupid cat says when it meet its owner after being away for a long time?"

Little Mike was puzzled by his friend's sudden question, "I... I don't know." Answers Mike while trying to catch his breath.

Little John just smiles while encouraging his friend.

"Think about it, come on what do you think?"

"The cat says 'Hello master.'"

"Not correct."

"Long time no see."

"Still wrong. "

"Master I'm hungry."

"Wrong again."

"Come on Mike! How can I know what a cat is thinking, and a stupid one at that?"

"Hahaha of course the cat says 'meow...' What else would a cat will say, stupid or not."

"Your right, why didn't I think of that."

"Let's continue our practice well ask for some juice later at old shamans house."

After their daily exercise which little Mike barely able to finish, they pass by the shaman's hut and ask for some herbal juice.

The old shaman never denied the little kids request, she even has herb already prepared.

"Both of you are so hardworking, I'm sure you will became famous someday. Anyway, your parents must be waiting for both of you, go home directly after drinking that."

Says old shaman which both boys followed.

That night little John had a hard time getting sleep.

Little Mike passed the warrior assessment earlier this afternoon.

John is happy he can study with Little Mike on Lett magic school.

Since he have a hard time sleeping he tried to focus on something else.

He try to feel mana on the air, and although too little compared to the one this morning, he can feel them all around.

Even the air he breath has mana too bad the mana followed after he exhaled the air.

Little John tried to absorb mana to his body, and they really did enter his spores and travel in his 15 magic viens to the empty space somewhere in his head.

After a few minutes of absorbing mana, he stop for he don't know it he's doing this the right way.

'I better wait for the instruction tomorrow.'

That night little John sleep early hoping for the next day to come faster.

The next day, little John arrived at a house where the guests resides.

No one lives in this house on normal days, for they are for guests like the city delegate.

Earlier, when little John arrived at village chief's house together with little Mike, the village chief told him to go the house for the guests.

"Come in." He heard sir Gagap just before he knock on the door.

Jhon entered the guest house for the first time, inside is just simple living room with a table surrounded by four chairs.

There are two doors at the right side probably for the bedrooms.

The living room looks simple and old but clean. On one of the chair sits old man Gagap.

'Grandpa Mograine must be on one if the room.'

"Come sit, sir Mograine left early in the morning for some personal business.

By the way little John, what do you think about mages?"

Sir Gagap ask little John after sitting on the chair.

"Powerful."

"Hahaha you might heard about them being powerful, but if someday you reach those powerful mages level you will think that you are still weak.

Then you will try to get stronger and stronger until you reach the limit of your talent.

By then you might still think that you're weak.

What I'm trying to say is the journey of mages are boring and always have a sad ending."

Little John might have a 5 year old kid body but hi had a mind of an adult so such scare tactic won't work.

"I still want to be a mage." Says little John as he look at the eye if sir Gagap.

"Good kid, I like your determination, let me tell you about the history of mages."

Little John heard a plot like history of planet Syndra.

The first beings to control mana are the dragons and elves.

Both of them has inborn talent in controlling mana so both the dragons and the elves live like kings on Syndra.

The dragons love shiny things and sleeping, so they rarely travel outside.

They spend most of their time sleeping on their treasures.

They took pity on the little dwarfs that was being bullied by beastmen and take them as servants. The dragons like the dwarfs for they are good at mining shiny things, like gold and other gems.

The dwarfs offered all the shiny things they mined to the dragons, while the other non-shiny metals they use them to practice their smithing.

The humans are the weakest that even if no one bully them they are still being killed by wild beasts.

The elves are peace loving race and although strong they never bully anyone unless the forest is being treathened.

The dragons love sleeping and only ate those annoying humans who keeps asking for protection even after being rejected. Humans have little meat after all and they don't have mana even a little bit.

Beastmen don't see any honor bullying the weak humans, the see it as a disgrace so as long as humans don't bother them the beastmen left them alone.

The beastmen also has the biggest territory, but they don't ever wage war on the elves for they know that elves are powerful and they are content of their territory.

In this cruel world where the mindless beasts sees human as food, the poor race really was on the brink of extinction.

The lasts humans seeks protection from the elves, which they are accepted by this peace loving race.

Although humans can't enter elven cities, the elf protect them while they are building the town walls. They also teach human about mana but humans can't use mana so the elves tried different methods in order to helped humans control mana.

The humans didn't disappoint because they finally got their first mages with the help if the elven saviors.

Although humans can't use the magic of the elves, they started their own ways of manipulating mana borrowing the elves knowledge.

This are the first mages on the Syndra's history and the start if the humans rise.
