Destiny

It was a particularly chilly night when everything fell apart and my world drowned in darkness.

Everything was going well I had been to the mages keep Received my Decree of time and Portion of the Mages seal.

All mages at there coming of age receive a portion of the Mages seal in order to strengthen the Magical seal that holds the sanguine Blade in a sealed dimension preventing despair and chaos from being let loose upon the land's.

The sanguine blade is field with magic and chaos imparted by a God long since forgotten but all we know is the time of reckoning is here and to keep the blade from being used to destroy the world we must Keep it sealed as it is our duty as Keepers of time.

I left the mages Keep and went on to meet with Elicia At the local bakery.

I arrive there and walk in and buy three dust buns they are a local favorite and I can't help but love them they are a flakey golden bun with powdered cocoa on the top. They are a little expensive but since it was the day of Elicia's and I Graduation as full fledged Mages of the seal. I couldn't help but want to celebrate. It's quite odd to not see her on time somewhere she's usually dragging me along to make sure im on time anywhere I have to be. I found it on I sat down and waited for what seems like hours that's when I saw her coming down the street passing by the blacksmith she was carrying something heavy it looks like. Elicia! I exclaimed with Joy and went over to see if she wanted any help.

"No thanks I've got it." She replied

She sat down at the table setting what seemed to be three heavily wrapped packages on the table and one seemed to have the initial’s LT on it.

"what's in the packages" I asked in a Curious tone.

"Well Maybe if you weren't in a hurry to always rush off and vanish You would know." She says laughing at me.

"It's not my fault the grandmasters voice is so dull and boring I fall asleep." I retorted Justly

"Yeah, well maybe if you would try and work harder you wouldn't been in his office all the time listening to his voice." She says staring at me blankly.

" He may not have tried during the lectures his abilities in the field are nothing to snuff at." A voice from behind me chimes in with a chuckle after words.

Felix was standing behind me smiling with a grin on his face.

"See he get's it." I exclaim

"It doesn’t mean your strong you Just have talent" Felix says chuckling

"Well now that where all here what is it you wanted to give us" Felix says taking a seat in between us

"We'll Our weapons were finished today Grandfather put a lot of time he's spent 6 year's on each one." She says Boldly

She hands each of us our weapon that will allow us to help defend the Sanguine Blade.

I take mine and begin to open the wrapping to find a Long sword etched with The keepers oath

"Carpe diem" Live for today as tomorrow is not a guarantee.

I unsheathe it to look at it the Blade is amazing sky-blue in color with a sapphire and onyx at opposite ends of the hilt the pommel has a clock engraved in it.

Elicia’s weapon is a long bow that gathers Particles of magic from the air around her and lets her fire it at an exceptionally high rate which is terrifying because she doesn't miss.

I sit there eating a dust bun thinking about where I could go and try the Blade out.

"I am heading to the old training grounds." I say shoving the rest of the dust bun in my mouth.

Felix looks at me suspiciously then goes back to eating his dust bun.

"See you all later" I exclaim

"See you tomorrow" Elicia says light heartedly

"Bye" Felix says with a mouth full of dust buns

When I arrive to the Old training ground I pull the sword out and begin using it on the practice dummy I swing the sword and what seems to be a slash of Black and white flames flicker forward.

"The flames that extinguish the Demons" I mutter

Suddenly a Loud crack sounds behind me as if the trees are being shattered A figure is flung from the tree line and into The grand oak tree in the training ground. The figure lands at the base of the tree.

I rush over to see what had occurred and It's a girl bleeding and barely breathing.
