9 do you believe in Magic (1/2)
”This way” said wong as he made his way into a hut with jax, they sat on the floor
” so what have you come all the way here for,” said Wong as he poured some tea for jax and sat down opposite.
”my name is Harold miller and i am a scientist, i worked as a doctor in the hospitals for most of my life and through out it i strictly believed that i could answer questions with both reason and calculation yet i one day met a man who was jogging in a park, but i remember that 2 years ago he had a sever back injury after returning from the front lines and was never meant to recover, i asked him multiple questions of how he got to where he was now he simply told me two things, to keep an open mind and to come here and here i am,” said jax emotionally as he's hands began to shake.
the young Wong looked down and thought carefully, about what to do next.
”so, what was the man's name,?”asked Wong
”Louis xing,” said jax
”do you know how he got to where he is currently?” asked wong as he and jax made there way through a corridor and into a room.
”n..no thats why I've come to you,” said jax with a stutter as he saw people of working around with robes
”how about i enlighten you,” said a voice from behind him that made him jump, jax turned around to find the main reason for his journey, the ancient one.
wong bowed in greeting while jax stood in slight awe of the young women who was currently one of the most powerful beings on the planet
”say Mr miller, do you believe in magic,”said the ancient one with a playful smile as she twisted her hand and magic circles began to form from her palms
”h..h..how is this possible ..i mean is this a trick,” said jax as wiped sweat from his brow and continued to watch the display of light as the circles collapsed in and formed new ones which then created a huge diagram that attached itself to the ceiling.
the ceiling then disappeared and was replaced with an entire cosmos, jax was whisked across many dimensions while being debriefed about just how minuscule his existence was.
he could feel himself bonding with everything yet at the same time couldn't feel anything at all.
”huh” sighed jax as he slumped to the ground once his mind came to
”so what do you think,” said the ancient expressionless
”teach me,” he whispered

training ground
rows of trainees were trying to open portals with their sling ring and jax was in the third row and he was also finding it difficult, he needed a real life situation to help him concentrate and he knew how to get it, he saw the instructor from the corner of his eye wearing a long robe come to the front and shout stop in mandarin all the trainees stopped except for him. Jax kept on trying to widen the portal and keep it stable but he kept failing, suddenly he got a shove from the back and he was pushed into his slightly incomplete portal and he landed in a desert. jax could feel the scorching heat and the blistering sand on his sandals , he took several deep breaths to calm down and began to once again make a portal back to the training ground. hours past and he could feel himself begin to feel slightly dizzy because he was in this current weakened form that he needed to use to escape detection it slightly allowed him to survive the heat however he could still feel the pressure mentally and this allowed his focus to increase step by step as the adrenaline soon kicked in. after another 40 minutes of excruciating practice he could finally created a stable.
