2 A Friend (1/1)

You close the door behind you as you look around at the small buildings and the old concrete road that looks basically brand new but was built years ago no has used it in years since everyone knew magic there is no point in learning how to drive when you can fly.

Other than the farmers who come down every few months for trading and to resupply, No one really uses these roads. You have always pitied the framers the people who had little to no mana to do anything other than work all day.

You can still remember the day of the mana test. Everyone knew you needed a mana level of 5 or above to pass if you didn't have that you would be sent to the fields where you would work as a farmer for the rest of your days only coming to the village for supply runs and trading goods.

You were so nervous that when they called your name you nearly fainted you while walking up to the light mage, whose powers were used to scan your bodies for mana. You were lucky enough to have a mana level of 8 but your childhood friend Rose wasn't so lucky she had a mana level of 3 so she was sent to the farm.

You both cried all day after that you even begged your mom to let you spend the night at roses house that night so you can spend Rose's last day home with her.

You take a deep breath as you look up at the volcano in the distance you can hear your heart beat out of your chest your legs are like noodles and you feel as if you are gonna collapse at any moment you close your eyes and breath out as you move forward towards your destiny.

Your half way to the base of the volcano when you are struck by something big and heavy. You fall to the ground and groan in pain as you blink rapidly to regain your now blurry vision then you look up and see him.

It's your friend Noah who was the only person who wanted to be your friend after rose left. He annoys the absolute hell out of you but nevertheless, you still love him he has stuck with you through everything. In the training room, he is the only one who even tried to drag you out when you passed out from exhaustion and you would glad I risk your life to protect him but now all you wanna do is beat the hell out of him.

You push him off of you and suck your teeth in annoyance. What the hell is wrong with you, you shout as you get up and wipe the dirt off your now dirty sect uniform. I saw you on my way to the volcano and I thought I should surprise you he says with a smile. ”You could have just jumped out of the bushes and scared me.”

”I like to try out new things,” he says as he jumps to his feet and you are able to get a good look at him. His hair is dark brown and he has these big curls that sometimes hang down almost covering his eyes which are big and dark blue, His skin looks as though it was kissed by the sun, His clothes are a mess his sect badge is crooked and his shirt is covered in dirt.

The grownups usually say he's gonna be a handsome man when he grows up and you can see why they say that even at your age you can recognize his latent beauty. He wraps his arm around your neck and shouts while pointing at the mountain. ” let's go so we can become powerful mages.”

You pause for a second as you take in everything he said and burst into laughter. ”Hey, don't you dare laugh at me while I'm trying to look cool! ” You take a deep breath come on dumbass you say as you grab his hand and head towards the base of the volcano.
