Looking for clues

And for the first time after 50 years the black tower has exploded with red flames and for the first time it was due to a black magic user according to the mages. The ministers, the king and the two princes were shocked with this new pieces of information.

The mage who barged into the meeting hall explained the situation. "Your Majesty, ....It was a dark magic user or so great mage assumes….." he said hesitating. But the king was confused with the answer.

"What do you mean mage, is it a dark magic user or not?" the king asked. At this time Kai slowly walked to the window and gazed at the blazing red fire. That fire has been a warning signal used in Dacris by the mages, but he never seen such a big one. He smirked at the thought of it, his thin red lips pulled at one end. His ocean blue eyes scanned and observed the scene keenly.

Outside the castle near the Black tower, there stood a man in his twenties. He wore a long black robe with golden rims. There was a big symbol at the back of his robe symbolizing his position. The wind was blowing violently and his robe, along with his blood red hair started to flutter.

At this time, someone from behind him spoke."Why do I feel like you are happy about this?".

The guy in the robe smiled before turning around. "because I am?" he replied as his eyes danced with mirth.

The person behind him sighed and bent down to pick up a rubble that fell from the tower. Prince Kai then looked up at the tower again and threw the rubble away. "what do you think? The mage you sent to the discussion hall said something about the user you found to be a dark magic owner and not at the same time?" Kai asked, his eyes deep in thought.

But the guy in the robe shrugged his shoulder, acting as if none of this has anything to do with him. Seeing this Kai rolled his eyes. "You're The great mage's son and soon you will take over his role and this is how you decided to answer, Ezmiel?" There was a hint of annoyance in Kai's voice. He then walked to the tower's entrance, followed by the laughing Ezmiel.

"Oh come on, it was funny, specially that face of yours." Ezmiel laughed while following behind Kai. "Finally, some drama in this boring old tower and you expect me to be serious about it? No way. Do you know how long I have waited for this day to come?" The look of anticipation can be seen on Ezmiel's face. His hand then slid into his pant's pocket and took out, what it seemd to be a broken blue gem.

"You see this, Kai? The space stone shattered to smithereens the moment I tried to link it to the users mana." At the sight of the stone, Kai suddenly stopped walking and took it from Ezmiel. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the space stone. Never have he heard a Space stone shattering while trying to locate magic mana. 'And this stone has been working for over 45 years, so it should be working fine, no?' Kai posed the question in his mind. Seeing the deep look on Kai's face Ezmiel sighed.

"Look, I myself, never seen something like this. But it is never impossible. May be that person used a spell, a deflection stone…?" Ezmiel answered to kai's unspoken question. Yes, it is true. Even though there are 3 Space stones in Dacris that are used to give a rough location of a specified thing, it is not impossible that some people might use deflective stones or a very strong spell prepared by elder mages. Thinking of this Kai nodded his head but then asked another question.

"Then how can you explain the fact that we couldn't tell if the user was a light or dark magic user?"

"That...we will have to find out about it when we meet the user but for now we will go with the explanation that maybe he or she was passing through Mestovania's magic barrier at that exact moment of the space stone activation, which in return disturbed the space magic's job."
