Thud thud! a young boy was walking briskly turning back and forth at intervals, it seems like there is a presence around him he can feel it, his heart beat increase as his steps increases. The road was unusually quiet this afternoon. Alfred had decided to wait after school because he was scared of this particular bully he offended in school, he knew the boy would ambush him on the way home so he decided to wait extra thirty minutes before heading home. Now he is walking home but this feeling kept coming, 'Alfred be a man and walk home you are just afraid of nothing' he braise himself up to release the tension that that has swollen up in him. as he was walking he heard a rustle in the little bush by the road and out came the bully he dreads so much but he wasn't alone. Alfred wants to run back but as he turn he saw two other boys smiling mischievously at him He looked at Caleb the bully he Was grinning from ear to ear. "hey Alfred why going home now when school have dismissed a

In the middle of the night when the whole world were sound asleep, Alfred woke up he looked at the small alarm clock on a small desk beside the bed he stares with his sister. it was only two o'clock, he sighed deeply and looked at his sister who was fast asleep, he quietly stood up and stretch himself perceiving a little pain in his waist. he sat down his reading table, he switch on his soft rechargable lantern and scan through the books piled on the table and the ones on a hanging shelves. if there is something Alfred loves the most it was reading he is an enthusiastic reader, even from when he was seven he started reading like an adult he has read many books by many legendary mages and even the one written by his ancestor. He searched for it and found it, it was an old book, the cover page was made of animal skin, on it was written " the fall of a legendary mage" written with bold letters on it, the book looks very old and evidence that it has seen many ages. At he top of the

The curse was a bloodline curse that is to say that ,as he has been cursed, it will also affect his son at home he can't awaken magic and his children can't awaken magic. shackling a mage's Mana core is equivalent to killing him completely. Leo knew that within some hours he will become an ordinary person without any magic power, it will be a big disgrace, the whole Mebon city, even Vashut region will shake, even his countless enemies lurking in the shadows will laugh in triumph when they heard the news of his downfall. and Blake family will be made a thing of mockery. he considers commiting suicide but the thought of his wife and five years old son stopped him. he decided to return home, put his house in order and disappear completely.when he returned to Mebon city, he was tattered and unkept and has lost the aura of a mage, he is just like an ordinary person. He didn't disclose what he encountered in the mountain range to anyone except his wife and warned her not to disclose it t

School resumed one month after the Awakening exam, Alfred and Emelia were allowed to stay in the school, for three months to allow them to repeat their magic Awakening. if at the end of Three months they were not able to awaken magic they will be expelled from the school. Alfred knew that even if they were given Three years, they can't awaken magic, but he has his plans and his already preparing to carry it out. Alfred never knew that trouble is roaming for him and Emelia, it started from the school. Many of the students have arrived in class and were discussing their experiences during the magic Awakening festival. " sister Clara do you Know I was shivering when I stood before that starstone, I thought I would not be able to awaken magic, but immediately I closed my eyes, Ah! I saw the stars and connected them and Pam! water filled everywhere" one skinny girl who looks as if a little wind can carry her away was speaking to her friend who she always refare to as sister Clara, Cla

Alfred went under their bed and brought out a small wooden box which contains some materials which Alfred thinks that are valuable, he emptied the box on the floor and many junks rolled out. Alfred picked something that looks like a small scroll, he dusted it and spread it on the table, the scroll looks ancient and very dirty, he noticed that the scroll wasn't complete it likely have been torn into halves. there are many shapes and lines that were sketched on on it. as Alfred was scanning it his eyes widened in disbelief and surprise " is this not....no it cannot be! " he was still doubting what he have seen, he thought that his eyes is playing prank on him. He checked very well to confirm what he has saw, on the top corner of the scroll was written "The map of Celest...." the name ended on the torn area so it wasn't complete, but this is enough evidence that what he is holding is really one of the halves of the Celestian mountains map. " hahaha! yes yes!" Alfred was overjoy. As f
