Rai followed along with the other's explanation, listening intently. Surprisingly, this subject was a little easier for him to digest when he was looking at what the other was explaining; it all seemed to make a lot more sense to him compared to when he was trying to keep up with the other as...
Rai noticed how just exuding this much mana for the other was...challenging for him; he was already out of breath and, at least for Rai, it didn't feel like a lot. But oh, how warm it felt, how welcoming, how pleasant. Even if it was just for a small moment, he felt like this small little bubble...
As they walked into the entrance of the mansion, Rai had his head up looking at everything they passed. Looking up at how tall the ceiling was, all the support and decorative pillars, all the plants, the pristine floors, the chandelier, everything. There was so much to take in that merely...
Rai listened closely to Dylan's explanation of a mana garden, nodding along once he understood it. As he looked around the garden they were in now, he guessed it made a little more sense. Why would someone with his type of magic have a garden anyway? Dylan said his family was mostly life magic...
Blood lotus. He bookmarked the plant in his mind for later as he knelt down to look at it closer. The color was so vibrant and striking. He did as he did with the mushrooms and looked to the soil, what surrounded it, and things of the like. If there was a further use for them out in the rural...
Oh god, this guy had a mansion, was the only thought that passed through his mind when they eventually got to the "gates" of the estate. That meant this person, who for some reason, is so dedicated to sticking by Rai, had money; probably way more money than he had seen in his entire life. That...
As he listened to the other speak, his eyes slowly started to rise from the ground, not completely meeting Dylan's but enough so to indicate that he was listening to what he had to say. Conflicting thoughts and ideas rose in his chest, fighting over what he should do. On one hand, he wanted to...
When the familiar figure of Dylan began to approach him, Rai felt a wave of relief wash over him. He actually stuck around. He didn't leave... Why? He was probably in there longer because of the mishap with his magic, but why was Dylan sticking by him even though everyone else was always scared...
Soon, he heard his name called. Swallowing hard, he made his way through the crowd of people that seemed to have no issue parting like the Red Sea for the boy who's aura of death only got worse the closer he got to the front. When led out of the room, he was able to calm down a little bit with...
Every explanation the other gave went in one ear and out the other with Rai. That was certainly a lot of words Dylan had just said to him, barely 25% making sense to him in total though. He knew nothing about what the other was saying, but he could tell the other was hurried to get to...wherever...
Rai almost didn't seem to believe the other when the other three were mentioned, knowing that what he was saying was probably just baseless reassurances. He wouldn't have been pushed if he didn't reek of magic and he knew that. If he knew how to control his magic, none of this would've happened...
The pinto, with eyes a blazing gold, at first tried to move her head away from the stranger once she was caught, but as she continued to settle her down, the horse stopped resisting and let it happen. The cart it trailed definitely needed repairs after the charge; one wheel had a number of...
Curse? Is that what was wrong with him? He had a curse? Is that why he couldn't stop killing things? Can he get the curse removed here? How much would it cost? Was it expensive? Could they just get rid of it and he'd live a normal life now? His mind filled with questions and thoughts of hope at...
At the second kick, Rai groaned and curled into a ball, holding his abdomen. Before he could even think of moving, the third stepped on his ponytail with a sandaled foot. As Rai winced when his hair was tugged, he instinctively went to grab on his assailant's foot to stop him from pulling...
Howi was no stranger to the west. He actually preferred it out there compared to the big city; it reminded him a bit of home, back when he was a young kid and barely able to comprehend the world outside of his small community. Nowadays, he sometimes questions if he can even call that place...
The war had been no stranger to Prince Damar. A bloody and ruthless battle that's waged for nearly his entire life. One that's took countless of his own men and family of the royal throne, including his own father in an attempt to dismantle his family's control of their land and end the war on...
Education was a luxury few in his town could afford. If you were lucky to receive an education, then it didn't take long for people to move out of the small, urban farming town where your closest neighbor was tens of acres away. Rai was just one of those few uneducated kids growing up in the...
