Ep.3

"Woaah!" The students were amazed as a phoenix flew from the flames.

"Magic. One of the elements that protects us beings against the foul beasts of the underworld. So in order to protect the city, we must learn the basics of magic first." Said Haneera.

"Magic has three sectors. Elementium, also known here in our city as Accordia, is the sector of magic that controls elements such as fire, water, earth, air, and so on. Creatures that possesses this sector of magic helps our world to be fixed. Lamanentium, sector that controls magics that creates certain things, it can also control anything that surrounds it. Lamanentium is the magic that is superior among the seven races and those are Seraphims, Ternians, Atrocians, Valierians, Elves, Dark Elves, and Nymphs. Last is Diniminium. The hardest magic sector to be acquired. Out of the three, Diniminium is the most mysterious. All races can acquire it but it is very hard to accomplish. Only Elder Lizier have this magic in Halderan City for hundreds of years. It is known to be a powerful magic. Acquiring it means having all sectors of magic." Haneera told the students.

"If I can acquire Diniminium, I can be powerful too!" said Pane.

"Stop dreaming Pane. The greatest elder is the only man in Halderan that is able to possess such fearsome talent. With your clumsy self, you wouldn't even handle the first stage of Elementium." Said Rigor.

"You two, stop it." Ray told them. "With enough practice and body control, one self can reach any heights, even surpassing the peak of Diniminium!" Said Ray with pride.

"Right!" Pane and Rigor both said cheerfully.

"My magic sector here is Elementium: Fire Spirit. I am at the peak of Sector Elementium right now. So my rank here in the city is top 52. Our city's current strength is 100,000 Mages of Sector Elementium, seperated in 5 groups namely Wind Group, total of 2,000 Mages, Fire Group, total of 33,000 Mages, Earth Group, total of 46,000 Mages, Water Group, total of 4,000 Mages, and Thunder Group, total of 15,000 Mages. As you can see, the Wind Group has the fewest mages here. But do not underestimate them. The fewer mages that acquires this kind of magic, the powerful it's possessor is. Then we have 1,000 Lamanentium Sector Mages." Said Haneera.

"Now is the end of our class. Practice cultivating and next week, we will examine your strength." Haneera announced.

"What? Next week?" Shouted the students as Haneera leaved the room.

"Let's go everyone!" Ray shouted to his friends.

"Okay!" His friends answered.

After going out the room, the wide grounds of the school is seen. Ray and his friends walked past the grounds going outside the school. Ray's Uncle Huegyen was out there with his carriage.

"Hey Ray! Your mother is waiting for you at home! Let's hurry!" Huegyen said.

"Okay Elder Gyen!" He said happily.

Ray waved goodbye to his friends that was already being picked up by their families.

Huegyen drove the carriage to their village of Ciarma. A village that the once Great Hall of Merindan or Old Halderan was standing. The remainings of the Hall is still there. The walls is still up, but not as fortified as before.

Ten years before The Age of Decay ended;

"Lord Barion! The Merindian Plains have already been filled by the enemy!" Said the soldier, panicking and panting.

"Tell King Hardiun to go! Protect the king at all co-" Barion stopped as another soldier heads out to tell another bad news.

"Lord Barion! We're too late! The Kingdom has already fallen! King Hardiun fell! Around 60,000 men died in the battlefield! The surviving soldiers have already flee to the forest of Dulan! But with the army of Martiev, I think the whole area is already filled with Demons! I don't think they will survive too long!" Said the soldier.

"How could this be!?" Barion was stunned after he heard the news.

"What is happening in this world! Oh Holy God Valier! Help us!" Shouted Barion.

Another soldier ran towards Barion..

"My Lord, this place will be surrounded by Demons any minute now!" The soldier said exhausted from running.

"Now we don't have any choice! If we'll die, better die fighting!" Barion said.

"What is your orders My Lord?" Said the soldier.

Barion then told the soldier, "Prepare the Great Hall. We'll begin the last stand there."
