Vincent Kasarian

" What's your magic skills like ? " I asked.

" Huh ! Strange, your father asked me the same question after seeing my stats for the first time ! " He said.

" Do you guys know anything about warlock ? " I asked seeing that father knew what it exactly meant.

" It's a myth ! " Rahil said.

" What kind of myth ? " I don't pay that much attention to religions and lore books.

" The Ptahsius and his 7 Apprentices ! " Rahil said like it was some common knowledge.

" Ohh that one ! Yes I know that one too…" Vincent said.

" What is it about ? " I was the only one who didn't know shit about Ptahsius !

" Ptahsius a god of artwork and craftsmanship trained his 7 apprentices. One of them was warlock who could create magical weapons and armors ! " Rahil explained.

" So warlock can create magical weapons ? " I asked.

" At least that's what I have heard. " Rahil said.

" Heard ? You mean read it in a book right ? " He said it weirdly so I had to ask.

" No, I heard about him in the village near Kanisk. No one knows much about it anymore he was an old god." Ahh old gods were a taboo subject for people because of the Sekhmet guys and it was also kind of portrayed as evil to revere old gods. But still old families commoners or noble alike were very loyal to the old gods. The one who was most popular was Asmosdius - the god of earth.

" You know smithing ? " I asked.

" Not at all. It's so hot and all that sweat - aghh ! I will not do that please, Thank you." He said.

" Wait a minute ! Are you saying my skill is this warlock thing ? " He asked after a while.

" Yes. I think it's something to do with enchanting magic. "

" You mean weapons with effect ? Are you saying that I can create them ? " His eyes were starry now.

" It's just a guess ! Do you guys know anything about enchanting ? " I asked since I had never found anything about it in any book.

" No "

" Just that people are trying to imbued magic in weapons for years but no one has succeeded " Rahil really was a walking wikipedia.

" If not smithing, then maybe it's just inscribing? like writing a formula on weapons ? " I said.

" No ! Many have tried doing that too but nothing works ! " Rahil said sighing.

" Yes, but no one had the warlock skill right ?! " I said. And they both looked at me like I had just opened some new doors for them.

" You should also try smithing at least once ! " Rahil said.

" Yeah, I get it. Hell ! I will try it. But you kids are sure you are not mistaken in translation !? " He said with slight excitation and slight hesitation, little pain in between.

" She is the best translator I have ever seen ! " Rahil said.

" Weren't you the prodigy in literature ? And you saying she is better than you ? " He said looking at Rahil.

" Yes, I have learned a great deal from her. I am not sure about it but I can say that no one has greater knowledge of ancient language than her in the entire waccaria ! " Rahil said with pride. Lol shut the hell up ! It's just one dumb language ! What will these guys do if I suddenly started speaking french or spanish ? Change the topic - I had to change the topic !

" So at least try inscribing for now ! " I said while creating a two-handed sword.

" How ? I don't think just plain writing on weapon with ink would work ! " Vincent said.

I opened my stats and selected one of my memories, (I don't need to open stats - I can just imagine a memory, but making complex structures from imagination hurts my head ! ) it was a memory I had saved named pen ! Yes, it sounds like just a pen but it really is hard to construct with it's little - little intricacies, so I just saved it as a memory for instant use just like this using - Flash Memory. I made the point thicker and with fibers (like a marker pen specially created to write on plain surfaces) I gave the pen to vincent.

" What is this ? " He asked.

" A pen " I replied.

" You write with it ! " Rahil said.

" I know what pens are !! " He said a little loudly.

" Just open the cap and write a fireball chant on this sword " I said.

" Neff ! you sure you want another fireball here ? " Rahil said.

" Oh yes ! I mean no. Write air slash formula instead ! " That was a close one.

" What are you guys even doing here ! " Vincent said while opening the cap and writing on the sword.

After he was done I picked up the sword and pointed toward a window. Rahil and vincent both came running and stood behind me just in case ! Well what could happen now right ? The window was so big three people could easily pass through it together. A little sir slash can easily pass through besides that's in case it works ! I lifted the swords almost to my solder with two hands and swung in full force ! I felt like a lot of mass from my body just separated from me. And then I heard a big smashing sound like wall and glass breaking !! I made a dome of krigara protecting the three of us. After everything quieted down I removed the dome. And hell ! The entire wall was missing ! I walked a little further and I saw many small pieces of the wall down on the ground with the two biggest pieces at a certain distance cut like a triangle ! Fuck I cut the wall in two ! But that was just a small air slash formula !

We heard some guys shouting and people running towards us. The guards from before and ten other soldiers who were nearby all came inside at once.

" What ! Who was it ? What happened ? " Aras shouted coming from the hallway into our room.

" Uhh ! It was nothing ! Just a little air slash collided with the wall…." I tried nervously laughing.

" A little !? Lady entire wall is missing I heard the blast in the training ground !! " He roared.

Then I heard another 5 - 6 guys running towards us we all collectively turned our heads towards the door and father came rushing in ! He saw me first then rahil and vincent, then he saw the wall ! He looked back at me and I looked down, and so did Rahil and Vincent !

" WHAT DID YOU JUST DO YOUNG LADY !?? " He shouted.

" Just an air slash…." I squeaked.

" LOOK UP ! " He said. I did after a while.

" In my office right now ! Aras and you repair this room immediately ! Vincent come with me " He ordered everyone and we all moved at once like we were just released from some spell. We three exchanged a look and Rahil stayed behind as father said while Vincent and I started walking behind father to his office.

" Hahahahha " Vincent started laughing his ass off as soon as we reached the office.

" Shut up you ! And you what the hell was that ? You want to destroy the thousand years old palace ? " He said.

" We were just using air slash ! It was his fault ! " I said pointing towards Vincent as he was still laughing through his teeth.

" Heyyy ! You told me to do it ! "

" But you were the one who did it right ? "

" Zhukhar I don't like your daughter ! " He said to father.

" I don't like both of you ! " Father replied.

" I don't like the green vegetable thingy we eat every thursday too ! " I also added my value to the conversation.

" You ! You are grounded and also banned from the library ! "

" Noooo…..no ! I didn't do anything ! I am innocent ! " I pleaded my case in vain. Vincent made a wtf expression at me.

" You will also do 2 hours of work in the afternoon as punishment ! "

" That's just too much " I shouted.

" You said something ? " He said in the coldest voice I had ever heard.

" No sir…." I murmured.

" Now tell me how the hell did you manage to cut a wall in two !?"

" My skill ! She figured out my skill Zukhar !! " Vincent said with seriousness that he had shown for the first time since he came. Father's eyes widened.

" Is this true !?" He said looking at me.

" It's not written on his stats but he can enchant weapons I think…." I said.

" Enchant weapons !? That air slash was from a weapon ? "

" Yes ! he wrote the lines on the long sword that I had created. The sword broke afterward though."

" Just writing on sword ? That worked ? "

" Yeah I wasn't expecting it either ! It was a surprise !"

" Can you do it again ? "

" Of course ! But you sure you wanna do that again !?" Vincent said.

" let's go outside ! "

We went to the training grounds everyone noticed us and came running from afar. I guess they expected an explanation of a huge hole in the middle of a palace wall ! I saw some kid sprinting towards me, so I just turned backwards and started walking.

" Where are you going ? " Father asked holding me from the scruff of my neck.

" He can show you right ? You don't need me…"

" Ohh yes ! Yes we need you very much. Right Zukhar ? " Vincent said.

" Yeah ! You are the reason for everything that's happened."

" What are you guys doing ? And what was that big boom just now ? Did I miss something ? Is it an enemy ? Can I fight ? Please let me fight…. !?" Zhira finally arrived with a barrage of important questions.

" Ohh hello, lady Zhiralin ! It is always a delight to meet you my lady ! " Vincent started.

" Ohh Vincent ! When did you come ? That aside who made that hole in the palace ? "

" This little creature ! " He said pointing finger at me, I was still hanging in the air because of father. She and vincent started talking, Vincent started explaining and answering all her questions.

" If he is noble and you clearly know him very well, then why did you want him to be a butler ? " I asked father since I had the chance.

" I did not invite him just for that, he was anvinsik so I just thought you could give it a try. You have no idea what you have discovered here, Neff. This could change the very nature of wars." As long as I knew, my father was not the kind of person who liked violence but this line made me uncomfortable.

" What if he just goes on his own from now on ? You can't control someone else's subject !"

" He won't do that. You don't know him yet ! "

We arrived at the training grounds with people trailing behind us. I made a sword again, Vincent wrote sky strike's chanting lines, and then we both came backwards and just stood there.

" Come on ! Who's gonna try it ? " Father said looking at me and vincent.

" I don't have lightning affinity ! " Vincent said.

" I wanna try ! I wanna try ! let me !! let meee ! " Zhira was jumping around.

" You don't have lightning affinity either ! " Father replied.

" I once saw Aras using sky strike, it was the most amazing performance of this skill ! " I pushed Aras forward before anyone could point at me.

" Ahem Lady !? That's not…" Aras really had lightning affinity plus he was so surprised by my fake compliment that he couldn't say anything in protest.

" Aras…go do it ! We believe in you " Vincent said. I nodded.

Aras looked at father and he nodded too. Aras was on the verge of tears but he went and took the sword. Before he could swing I found it safe to give him some advice,

" Don't let it drain your magicules, stop the flow right after it starts…"

" You saying I just have to control magicules amount manually and not think about using the skill ? " He asked.

" Yeah

Aras went a little more ahead and everyone cleared the way for him. He looked back then lifted the sword up and made light swings left then right and finally a sweep from right solder to left in full force, it looked painful as he screamed aghhh….but our attention was not on him, from the tip of the sword, which was in pieces afterward. 4 huge bolts of lightning were released in blinding speed and fell on a huge rock middle of the ground, which now was raised to the ground like a sand castle.

" You okay ? Does it hurt ? " Father asked.

" Yeah, I am fine I just feel tired…." And then he collapsed. I guess he used too much magicules.

" Hurry someone use magicules recovery skills…" I shouted. And people started running and looking around, finally, one guy came up and he used something called - Total Recovery. After some 10 to 15 minutes Aras came back to his senses. And we let out a breath of relief.

" That was dangerous !! " Father said.

" Yeah…" Vincent was still in trance, he had not seen the destructiveness of his skill this up close like before.
