Chapter Five
(Sky's POV)
The stars shine through the trees as the flames in the fire shift and sway. ASF's snore echo around are camp as I glance at the bruised figure lying in my tent. How in the Nether did he wind up in that ravine? The closest village is miles from here. I shifted my wait a little to the right, only to have a hard object poke into me. I reach into my pocket and draw out the offending object. It's the book. Small, with a leather cover, the book has a metal clasp keeping it closed. I really shouldn't pry......... but this book could tell me who he is, and maybe where we could take him. Or, it could simply be a fairytale.
Felling slightly guilty, I unhook the clasp, and open the book to the first page.
Drear Seto,
I'm sorry that you had to find out this way, but I thought that this would happen near your birthday. You're probably very confused and scared, but you need to understand that I once new your father. Before he died, he asked me to watch over you. I didn't find you in time to take you with me to somewhere safe. Lucy had found and adopted you. I couldn't take you from your new family, so I stayed and looked out for you.
So Seto is his name. Sounds like he had a really bad life, but what does he have to be confused about?
I should of told you sooner, but there was a chance that you wouldn't end up have the gift, growing up away from it all. But don't think badly about yourself because of this. It's part of who you are. The armband I gave you is the key. Travel to the city of Roanoke and you will find refuge there.
So he needs to go to Roanoke? Isn't that the place that Husky said we are going to?
To answer your biggest question, you are a mage, Seto. You're the first purple mage to walk the earth. Your father had red magic, and your mother had blue. They were the most powerful mages to have ever exist. Some say they married for that reason, but I assure you, they loved each other almost as much as they loved you. You could be one of the most powerful mages to ever be. The rest of this book I have left you with is to help you start practicing with what magic you have gained. It will only grow stronger the longer you live.
I choke on air as I read the word mage. I thought all the mages were gone!? Aren't they sapose to be evil!? I can't bring myself to believe that this little scrap of bone is evil. From this it looks like he might of just found out, too.
Now, I can only assume that your magic will take after your parents. Your mother was an elemental mage, and your father was an Alchamie/Warrior mage. That should give you the widest range of magic. The most beneficial to you right now, is to summon your familiar. It's part of the Alchamie magic, and is linked to your armband that you now wear. The bat on the bottom is your familiar, and you can summon it with one of the instruction sets in this book. I wish you the best of luck, and hope to meet you at Roanoke city.
With love,
Issac Merfy, green mage
I can only stared the sleeping Seto as my brain processes all that I have learned. The mage s are alive, and one is sleeping less then ten feet away from me. How did we wind up finding a mage, maybe the most powerful one in history? I think I should keep this to myself until Seto wakes up. I don't even know if he's read this yet.
