As me and the man continued to walk it dawned on me. I looked up at the man and asked "what's your name by the way?"
The man turned his head back still walking forward and answered saying "my name is Falcon, also known as the reanimating mage."
"Reanimation mage, we'll I guess that explains how he said he could revive Amethyst." I mumbled to myself. I then asked "so if your a reanimation mage, why can't you revive my mother and father too?"
This time he didn't look at me as he said "those people you called your parents, If they learned of the prophecy, they most likely would have killed you so it was better this way."
I looked down sadly and asked "why would they want to kill me?" Falcon let out a small chuckle and said "it's because whichever of the kids ends up on our side, is supposed to be so evil. But that's not the case it's just that our missions entail of taking care a trash."
"Trash?" I said confused, Falcon stopped and turned around. He bent down to see me eye to eyes and said "yes, the trash of this world. We take care of them, but we must also fight the so called holy warriors, who think their so good but are really just a bunch of maniacs who get a kick out of murdering people."
A bit surprised I asked "so does that mean that i'll have to fight Arthur?" Falcon nodded his head. Looking down to the ground I continued walking thinking of how I could explain to Arthur that I wasn't bad.
After what seemed like just minutes, I bumped into Falcon because he had stopped in front of a cave. I looked up to him and asked "why'd you stop?" Falcon put his hand on my hand and pulled me to right next to him and said "this is our base."
Their base? I thought to myself. Falcon pulled his hand out, and place it in front of the cave. He mumbled something, and all of sudden a portal looking thing appeared. It was purple and looked like there was an entire galaxy inside it. Falcon pushed me inside and followed after. As soon as I was in the portal I fell, I flew my arms around trying to stop myself. As I did Amethyst fell from my arms, I immediately stopped what I was doing and tried to grab her. That's when I saw Falcons arm reach out, and he fought both of us. He threw me over his shoulder, and help Amethyst and her head. Then he started walking, it was like he was walking on air! I asked a bit scared saying "how are you walking there's no floor?"
Falcon let out a laugh and said "I use magic to make a pathway through it." Magic huh, I wonder what kind of magic he has I thought to myself.
You see there are several kinds of magic in this world, you have the four main elements, but you also have elements that branch off from them like lighting, and illusion magic. The rarest Magic's are as follows, death, life, creation, and destruction magic. Now I know it sounds like creation and life are the same thing as well as death, and destruction, but life means to be able to bring something back from death or healing someone or something. While creation is the ability to create any object at will, if you have enough magic force you can create living things. Now for death and destruction, death is the ability to either kill someone immediately, plan their death, or slowly drain their life essence but if you use it wrong then you yourself will die. While destruction magic is the ability to be able to, break any defense, destroy objects, and If you have enough magic force then you can even destroy mountains and more. So destruction is quite simple. Oh now that I think of it, magic force is how much mana a person can control, it's also a realm that one can go to so they can train without destroying the land in Greendrain, by the way. That's all I know, but then again I had limited knowledge back then.
Could Falcon have life magic? I thought to myself. I mean it's quite rare but since he can heal easy enough I think he has it I continued. Turning my neck so I could face him as best I could while bing carried on his shoulder I asked "what kind of magic do you have, Falcon?"
I could see Falcon grin as he said "none."
"Wait, wait ,wait what?! That doesn't make sense! I thought everyone had a magic type!" I yelled confused. Falcon laughed out loud, and said "not everyone, some unfortunate people are born without magic." I then asked "so how are you able to reanimate someone?" Just as I said this, we were both covered in shining white light as he said "I use alchemy, I also created this place."
As soon as he finished talking, I realized we were no longer inside the odd realm, but outside a beautiful forest. He set me down and placed Amethyst in my arms, and walked over to a clearing. I followed after him, having to keep a brisk pace to keep up. When we reached it, at first I thought it was just a real,y big clearing, but then it was almost like we walked through a portal, and then there was a village inside it! Almost dropping Amethyst, I had to clench my teeth trying to stop my jaw from dropping. Falcon saw this, and with a smile he said "Welcome to the Green."
I looked over to him and asked "how did I not see this before!" Falcon started laughing, and said "like I said it's simple alchemy, jeez kid how uninformed are you!?"
Embarrassed I looked away, Falcon stopped laughing after a minute or too but he still had a grin on his face. We continued walking, while he showed me around. The right side of the Green was more for residential buildings, while the right were training grounds, hospitals, a single restaurant, a few shops, and a lab. As we walked through the residential place, I saw a few people walk by. Everyone here seemed to wear exactly what Falcon was wearing, right to the hood over their head. I bit confused I asked "why do you all wear that?"
"Well I guess it's kind of like a uniform, it's also to protect our identities in case one of us is caught." He explained. I then asked still confused "why does everyone wear it in here too, I thought no one could see this place?" Falcon continued looking forward and said "it's because someone died today."
Someone died? Finally I asked "who died, and why do you have to wear your hoods because of it ?" Sighing he explained saying "the person who died, was a child going by the name of hector. He was killed by some of the holy warriors. And the reason we wear our hoods is because, when someone dies we must wear our hoods throughout the day."
Now sad I looked down and continued walking,eventually Falcon said he had to go do something and that I was free to do what I wanted. So I started exploring the village, and tried my best to make a makeshift hood. When it was done, I placed it on my head but it just broke immediately. Sighing, I continued walking and looking for materials on the ground, with my head down I hadn't noticed the person walking my way and we bumped right into each other. I fell down Amethyst dropping from my arms, looking up I saw a beautiful girl maybe a year younger than me. She had white hair like the snow, and eyes as blue as the sky. Her ears seemed a bit pointy, so I guessed she was an elf. I quickly stood up, grabbing Amethyst as I did. I took a step beck, and walked away as fast as I could. I had heard that elves, would kill whoever disrespected them, and I'm pretty sure that bumping into one and man king them fall down is a sure sign of being disrespectful. But maybe I should've helper her up, but then she would've killed me. Oh I'm so confused, I continued walking away. When all of a sudden I heard a voice in my head, it was the voice of Falcon. He said to meet him at his house, and gave me directions. I started walking that way, and looked over my shoulder every minute or so. Eventually I reached his house, and stood in front of it. I started to smell something odd, and my conscience started to fade. I fought trying to stay awake, but my limbs gave out and I fell to the ground passing out.
