Magic Research - Chapter 1:Adrian The Dreamer
Magic for some person is the search for knowledge and the truth for others the way to gain a great source of power .
For Adrian the search for power is a waste of time and energy, Elferant is a land filled with mystery and legends why waste time pursuing power when one can reveal the truth about legends that often relate to the power of gods and mythical creatures.
For example the great mage Alnareus who spent his entire life looking for the cross of the greats saints who according to legend would allow the bearer of the cross to heal every disease and curse 3 times before returning to the kingdom of the gods to recharge for 100 years.
Or the holy alchemist Eldrui who created a potion capable of transforming a human being with no talent for magic into a super genius based on an alchemical recipe found in the ruins of an ancient civilization.
But all this are only the thoughts of a young man who finds himself in front of his future school of magic.
In front of the doors of the school stands Adrian a young man who has just celebrated his 14 years, despite his young age Adrian seems tall in the crowd. He has long black hair, black eyes a square jaw that does not match the face of a child of 14 years.
He seems to have his mind elsewhere, probably thinking of legend and myth, putting himself in the place of the legend that fascinated him during his childhood.
His childhood was spent in a big city called Azuria, a city so beautiful that even mages like it and live there. It can be said that Adrian was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is the son of one of the biggest merchants in the city, his father is a noble man trading even magical ressources.
And his mother was a magician until one day she was pregnant ,She lost all her magic power(in Elferant when a female magician is pregnant all her magical power goes help form the baby , To recover the mother often needs between 10 and 20 years).
We will talk about his mother later, the doors of the school just opened and 2 man and a women crossed the doors, dressed in a dress adorned with rune-like symbols .
The first to speak was an old man with a thick gray beard and eyes filled with wisdom and mystery, his voice went directly into the ears of the crowd “Welcome to the magical art academy I am the dean of this school Mr Magriate on my left is Mr Elretur the professor of the art of destruction and to my right Mrs Furial professor of the art of illusion.”
“Your magic talent will be tested, all you have to do is pass the doors of the academy, the more you will go far behind the door the higher your talent, know that the most talented students will have more freedom and will have a chance to become a teacher’s personal disciple, Less talented students will still have some freedom know that even if your talent is low you have the chance to be a great magician for example watch Mrs Furial are talent was among the lowest in her group and yet today she teach here.”.
Eyes filled with passion and curiosity the first 3 students stood in front of the school gates.
