Affinity reveal

Isaiah was doing what he did every morning ''feeding the cattle, cleaning the shed, and making breakfast. The cattle and the house were the only things they got from their parents. Ever since he was young Isaiah was told by the villagers that his parents had died from a beast attack and that was what he also believed. Sadly though he only had very little memories of them as he was very young. All he seemed to remember from then was that his mother had crimson red hair something that only Rachel inherited as for Evan and Isaiah they both had dark hair. Unfortunately he didn't have any recollection of his father.

Isaiah was walking toward the village clinic to check on the man they saved yesterday. Along the way Isaiah was greeted by some villagers and he greeted them back. The atmosphere of the village seemed to be peaceful and serene. After walking for a while he arrived at the center of the village and there it was. A two story building made of wood with a chimney at the top to let out smoke. After entering the clinic Isaiah was seen by the village doctor Mrs. Naveen.

''What are you doing here little one.''

'I'm here to check up on the outsider from yesterday' Isaiah said.

''Well aren't you kind, he's in the back.

Isaiah walked down the corridor to the medical room and pushed aside the curtains. There he saw the man sitting on his bed but there was something interesting happening around him. There were 6 light green spheres floating near him and every once in a while they would split into many more smaller spheres and then merge together to from the six spheres.

Isaiah stood there in a trance not able to take his eyes of the mans performance. After a while the spheres disappeared and the man looked at Isaiah.

'I heard you saved me' Shaun said.'

'I just did what anyone would do.' Isaiah spoke

Shaun Almost wanted to laugh at how naïve this kid seemed.

'Mr. was that magic that you were using' Isaiah spoke with a fervent expression in his eyes. Isaiah always had a love for magic. He would use any chance to learn more about it. Sadly humans couldn't use magic until they were at least 8 years of age as that was when the body and mind were strong enough to externally use magic.

'That was indeed magic' Shaun said.

'So are you a mage'?

'Not yet I'm only a mage disciple currently'

'What does that mean'? Isaiah spoke not understanding the difference between a mage and a mage disciple.

'A mage disciple is someone who is training to be a mage' Shaun explained.

'There are three stages,

'Rank 1 mage Disciple

'Rank 2 mage Disciple and

'Rank 3 mage Disciple.

'Mr. what rank are you'? Isaiah asked with curiosity.

I'm currently a Rank 2 mage Disciple Shaun replied.

'So are you strong'?

Suddenly Isaiah felt a strong sense of fear. His instincts were telling him to run, run and never look back. And as swiftly as that feeling appeared it disappeared just as fast.

Isaiah was drenched with sweat feeling as if he came face to face with a ferocious beast. Contrary to what you would expect Isaiah had a exhilarated expression on his face. He didn't know how strong the man was all he knew was that the man could simply erase him if he wished, so why was he feeling excited?

Why was there this feeling in his heart that thrilled him to no end?

Isaiah made up his mind and asked the man 'Mr. how do I learn magic'!

Shaun was dumbfounded, instead of seeing a terrified child he saw a child with passion and a little bit of craziness in his eyes. Shaun smirked. I like you kid I like you a lot.

'You asked me how to learn magic right.' Come here Shaun said patting his bed. It was now when Isaiah realized that he didn't even ask the man for his name he was a little embarrassed.

'May I know your name sir.' Isaiah spoke.

HAHA! Shaun started laughing. How could he forget his manners.

'The name's Shaun Agnes. What's yours?

'My name is Isaiah.'

After saying that Isaiah walked up to Shaun and sat on the bed waiting patiently.

We must find your affinity first and foremost. Give me your hand. Isaiah reached out and gave his hand to Shaun. Shaun grabbed Isaiah's hand and closed his eyes appearing as if he was doing something very strenuous. After a while Shaun opened his eyes and had an extremely shocked expression on his face.

There were many affinities in the world and many ways to use your affinity. For example some people used the mana inside their body to launch powerful physical attacks, some people borrowed power from mysterious deities, some people's bloodlines had great power and some used the powers of the elements. But to think that Shaun would find the rare element of darkness in such a small village made him almost laugh.
