Dark magic

Suddenly there was a loud explosion that shook the entire castle. All the people present at the hall all fail to the ground as the rumbling continued.

"What in the name of gods is going on!!!!!?" The king bellowed in anger. The large floor to ceiling french windows Have all shattered to the ground. Then everybody looked outside towards the source of the disturbance and it seems to coming from the Mage's black tower. Everyone was gasping and murmuring, wondering what it was. But then a mage came barged into the hall.

"Your Majesty!!!!Your Majesty!!!! It's terrible!!!" He screamed in anguish. Ethan who was thrown to the ground due to the explosion wave got up quickly and sheathed back his sword making sure no one saw what he was about to do. Kai also stood up and glanced at the black tower with narrowed eyes. The tower was blazing with black fire. 'so, it has begun huh?' he thought to himself.

While everyone was patiently waiting for the mage to say more, the king quickly stood up from his throne and walked to the mage in long strides. "Speak!!! You damn fool!!!", the king growled. The mage winced before replying in a hurry, "Your Majesty, The great mage has detected an abnormal power disturbance around the gates of Mestovania. W-we…we tried to track it down using space magic but...."

It was clear what happened after that. It has been a long time since the black tower has burned with red flames, a sign of danger. The kingdom of Dacris, was known for their exceptionally talented mages. This mages, also keep track of unusual magic practices in Dacris and areas near to Dacris. One of those unusual magics being, Dark magic. For over 1000 years, dark magic has been practiced secretly, and the ones who use this type of magics were bound to be outcasts. They were deemed, evil and dangerous. Even in some part of Mestovania, the dark magic users are sometimes burned or beaten to death. Hence, The concept of dark magic has been one of the biggest controversies in the history of Mestovania. That is also the main reason, The king Regaleon of Kellvenia refused to reveal his eldest daughter, Princess Silvia to the people. Even though she was born as a hybrid of light and dark, it will never change the fact that she can use dark magic and this in return will put the royal family in a difficult situation. Though, once in a while...rumors circulate, about her. About her powers which the king tries to suppress. But the rumors die down quickly.

Hence people avoid dark magic users like a plague. But Things are a bit different in Dacris. In Dacris, even though dark magic is frowned up on, there is no law that forbids it's practice unlike in Latteolor and Kellvenia. But to use dark magic, a person must have a special License, that shows a granted permission from the castle mages. And the hostility to dark magic is very low when it comes to the people of dacris. But when it comes to Latteolor, their hate for Dark magic users is so extreme that a person with dark magic can be brutaly damaged, both mentally and physically. One time, there was a mass search of dark magic users and the individuals were dragged to prison, before some of them died due to hunger, beating and many other reason. In such a country it is very hard for Dacrinian black magic users to live. Not only is Latteolor hostile to dark magic users, but also to Dacrinians as well, so if Dacrinian were to be found they will be killed without mercy. Even in Dacris, even though the kingdom, doesn't forbid dark magic, people had always had been unhappy with the fact that one of the princes of the kingdom was a dark magic wielder, But there was nothing they could do. They could only stay silent.
