Chapter 24: Truth Seeker

Matthew and the young Magician, named Micheal, were left alone in the backyard of the orphanage. The green haired young man looked at the little boy blessed by the One Power in front of him, and said, "Okay, first, tell me everything you know about magic!".

Matthew nodded, and said, "Ahm! Mages, use the One Power to perform spells, and the such, there are different types of magic, fire, water, and other elements! Umm, well, the more blessed you are, and the more you have a higher affinity with the type of magic used, the better the results of the spell performed!".

"There are many spells, but Mages still to this day create new spells of their own, some of them share it with the others, and some keep it a secret for themselves!", Matthew thought for a bit more, but realized that, that was all he knew about magic at the moment.

'I am really lacking in knowledge about magic, hah! And I want to become as strong as the Dark Crow, still, I will be taught about all of that in these upcoming days!', thought Matthew, as he then continued.

"That's all I know, and can remember at the moment, aside from that, I can perform the spell called Fire Bolt!". It seemed like the tutor wasn't very much impressed by what Matthew knew about magic, since most people knew the same things.

But still, as soon as he heard the second statement made by the seven-year-old, his eyes brightened up, and he looked at the boy with shock and surprise. He said after a few seconds passed, "You... you know how to do Fire Bolt? Hah! Can you show me now?".

Matthew nodded, and said, "It will take me about a minute or so to do it, I am still trying to shorten the casting time, but it always takes me time, I also need to focus all my mind when trying to perform the Fire Bolt spell, so, please don't talk to me while I try to do it!".

Micheal nodded, as he thought to himself, 'Hah! Doesn't matter if it takes you time or not, for a child as young as this, to not only be blessed by the One Power to this extent, but... but, to also be able to cast Fire Bolt, is... well, too much already!'.

With that, Matthew closed his eyes for a second, before he opened them again, he looked at the waves of the One Power flowing all around him, took three of them in his hands, and started merging them into one, trying to create a ball from the One Power.

A few seconds later, he had succeeded in doing so, and now, he started turning the One Power into fire. Some time passed, and a little spark lit up beside Matthew's fingers.

Seconds later, the seven-year-old had finished performing the spell called Fire Bolt. He had successfully created a small fireball beside him. The young Magician, Micheal, could only look at Matthew in complete and utter shock, after all, it wasn't every day that you saw a seven-year-old casting a spell, something that even most teenagers had trouble doing.

Micheal started clapping, as he said, a smile covering his face, "Hahaha! Wow! I didn't expect you to actually do it! Just, wow! Your knowledge on magic is pretty bad, since you don't know much more than common people do, but still, you are able to cast the spell Fire Bolt already!".

"I am 28 years old this year, and I started learning magic at 13 years old, but do you know how long it took me to perform my first spell? A spell weaker than Fire Bolt, the one known as Wind Gust! Well, It took me an entire month!".

The young Magician with green hair, continued, "Now, please, don't shock me anymore, my little heart won't be able to handle it! But, how long did it take you to cast Fire Bolt successfully for the first time? And, since we're speaking on this matter, it would also be great if you told me about the person that taught you how to do it!".

After all, it would be impossible for a seven-year-old to learn such a spell by his own, even if he knew the technique of doing it, no one has done that in the entire history of magic, making a question pop up, how did the first person do it?

Matthew smiled, as he let the fireball in his hands return to being a normal ball of the One Power, that then, returned into the currents of the One Power floating around him. The little boy then said, "There was a Wizard that passed by my village last month, he was the one that taught me how to see the One Power, as well as, how to perform the spell, Fire Bolt!".

Micheal looked at the blonde haired boy in front of him, and stopped himself from asking now, he wanted to wait until his second question for the boy was answered. Matthew then continued. He said, "As for how long it took me to perform the spell of Fire Bolt successfully for the first time, well, it was about a week or so, but, the Wizard only helped me on the first three days, since by the end of the third day, he had already departed to who knows where?".

"I tried to ask him about where he was going, but he didn't tell me, he only said that we would probably meet again if I sharpened my talent, and became a great Magician in the future!".

Matthew didn't stop there, he knew what Micheal, the young green haired Magician wanted to ask him next, and so, he said, "As for his name, he only revealed his title, I tried looking it up in the book in my... village...", the little boys' expression darkened for a bit, before it returned to normal as he continued.

"Anyway, his title was, Truth Seeker! Dad... ahm! Said that it meant that he was looking for truth. Now, what truth, or whatever else, I have no idea about that!". Matthew then looked at Micheal's expression, to see if the young Magician recognized this Wizard or not.

And, it seemed like he did, since the young green haired Magician looked at Matthew with complete shock, as he asked to confirm, "Are you sure that was the title he said he was given?".

Matthew nodded, as he asked, very curious to what the green haired young Magician knew about this Wizard that had taught him how to see the One Power, as well as, how to perform the spell, Fire Bolt.

Micheal revealed an expression of shock, as he chuckled to himself for a little, 'Hah! Who the heck am I teaching?'. He then looked at the boy, who had just asked him, "Do you know him?", and said.

"Yes, I do, of course I do, I have read many books about him! He is a Wizard that's known in another continent! Pantos, that is. Though, it seems - if he was the real one - that he is currently on our continent!".

"Anyway, I know that you're incredibly curious to why I am shocked, and well, because this person is as strong, if not, even stronger than the White Dragon! A legendary Magician!".

"Can you describe his appearance to me?", asked Micheal, as he looked at the little boy in front of him, waiting patiently to be shocked yet again by him, and not surprisingly, he was truly shocked again.

"Yes! He was an old man, had white hair, and wore a white robe. He also had this weird symbol drawn on a small pocket of his, it was a round ball, with two horns growing out of it's side! Is that him? I mean, it doesn't really prove it, but I guess it makes it sound more like it really is him, right?", Asked Matthew, after he answered Micheal's question.

The young Magician nodded his head, and said, "Yes! It's just like you said, this doesn't prove that it's the real Truth Seeker, but it certainly makes it sound like it was the real him! Anyway, I will bring you a book I have on him tomorrow, since we are here to study magic, not talk about other renowned, or, in this case, mysterious Magicians!".

Matthew nodded his head, even though he wanted to know more about this Truth Seeker - and now, instead of tomorrow - but still, what Micheal, his magic tutor said, was right. And so, he waited for the young Magician to speak.

Micheal, then said, "Anyway! Let us return to what we're here to do, first of all, learning Fire Bolt in one week, is... well, very impressive, aside from that, today, let us figure out what type of magic you can use, and which one is the best for you!".

He continued, "There are seven types, with the eight one, being not really a type, but more of, all the seven types being opened to you! As you know, or, are about to know, every person is born with an affinity to types!".

"Most only have three types, two that are secondary, and can not really be developed that much, or else, you would waste a lot of time! And the third, is the main type you are born with, the one that is the best for you to train in!".

"There are some that are born with more than three, but most are born with three, and very rarely, you could find a person with all seven types!", the young Magician took a breath, before he continued, "As for me, I was born with three like most people, my main type is Earth, and since I have Earth as my main type, you should be able to figure out my two other types as well, right?".
