19 Hunters Bizarre Part 2 (2/2)
”That's nice to hear but elves don't protect the forest or worship nature spirits just so you know. while it is quite disliked by many to worship any kind of deity or Idol we all still worship the Moon. besides that, we're more likely to cut down forests and set them on fire than anything else. I have never once in my life heard of an elf worshipping a tree. I don't know where you heard that from but it's simply wrong”. She was still smiling at Desmond not blaming him for his ignorance.
”Yeah and not all werewolves lose control during the full moon. That's only for half-blooded werewolves or someone that's been infected with our genes. pure-blooded werewolves like me don't suffer from that. We can transform at will anytime we want and are typically far stronger than our half-blood brothers and sisters. Those like me can even choose if they want to infect them with the curse of a lycanthrope”. Ragnar added as he got up from the floor.
”I'm sorry it's truly my mistake I did not mean to offend either of you for my ignorance”. Desmond then hung his head in shame or his probable offense.
seraphine waved off what he did and started softly laughing ”it's truly all right someone as accepting as you are is always welcome here. so, tell me what is it you wish to buy”.
”oh right, I simply wish to know the prices of Magic books sold in your store you see I plan to train and become a great mage”. That wasn't a lack of hesitation in what Desmond said.
There was obvious shock on the woman's face ”do you have any idea how hard that is 90% of the people on this planet can't perform Magic out of that 10 percent 70% of them wind up dead or stuck at the level of an apprentice Magi. Yes while the Magi are a super elite group of people that control the entire world of Theotera the chances of you becoming one are slim to none.
Even if you did have good enough talent to be nurtured by a clan you still wouldn't get into Twilight Academy. Clans only send apprentices with the best chance of becoming Magi there you would most likely be sent off to a resource site for most apprentices that's a death sentence. Even then Twilight academy's death toll is only 30% lower than at a resource site.
In the world of Magi, they claw and scheme their way to the top. There are no friends only foes and who can give you the most benefits.
Magi aren't known for love or having a kind heart many of them will sacrifice their own children for an inch more of progress.
You would need the luck of a god to become a mage, even then only high-ranking Magi have a say in anything in the world. lower rank Magi have to bow their heads submitting to them. For good reason too every single one of them is super powerful and has strange abilities.
Are you absolutely sure you want to study to become a mage?”. Seraphine looks at Desmond directly in his eyes as she saw his eyes twinkle brighter.
”Yes, a thousand times yes after what you said I wanted even more. There is nothing that will stop me in my Pursuit of Magic. I don't care if I am used cast aside in the end so long as I get to experience that feeling hold it in my hand and they do, to become a real magician”.
