6 Another day begins

*yawn* *stretch* "MHHH, kuhhh, haa. *sigh* Time for a morning run." Said Merces sleepy to no one specific while the sun just began to creep up the horizon. Getting quickly dressed in a pair of comfy black pants and a lose T-Shirt he began to walk down the stairs to see his uncle Elkier already up and cleaning his sword and arrow tips.

"Good morning boy, do you like some Lepes Tea to wake you up before you go running?"

"*yawn* Good morning uncle. No, it´s fine I will get one after I am back."

"OK, see you at breakfast."

"Jup, bye" said Merces walking to the door and putting his shoes on.

***

The sun is slowly rising the horizon with glistening morning dew creating a beautiful scenery. One of the reasons he likes to run in the morning, especially in the summertime were the air is warm and the breeze fresh.

*huff* *huff* *huff*

"Hey Mery, on your daily morning run?" said a all to well-known girly voice.

Merces stopped running and walked to his childhood friend while shaking his head.

"Haa, Mily still teasing me this early in the morning?"

"Hihihi, what do you mean M-E-R-Y?"

"Agh, whatever. So, you are going archery training in the woods again?" said Merces, noticing Mily in her light leader armor with a bow in her hand and a quiver on her right hip.

"Yeah, I almost mastered my personal spell. So, I am eager to practice this early."

"Nothing less from my future companion."

"Hahaha, you better train hard or I will leave you behind. Humpf" said the girl with a proud face as she puts her fists on her hips and slightly looking up.

"Hah don´t you worry. Me and Zanek are getting stronger by the day."

"Good, good. I have to go now Mery see you around." Yelled Mily as she runed to the woods to train.

"*sigh* I think I will just run back now."

Back in his house he took a shower after his morning run.

"Ah, the water-crystal is almost empty. I think, I have to go into the town to buy a new one." Said Merces to himself in the shower while scrubbing his hair.

After 10 minutes he put on a new shirt and trousers and then walking down the stairs into the kitchen.

*sizzling*

*sniff* *sniff*

"Oh, uncle are you making Grath omelets again?" said the boy energetic, seeing his uncle cook his favorite dish with fire and wind element.

"Grahahaha, with your keen nose you could be a beastkin. It´s lmost ready to eat." Said the uncle loudly while putting the plates on the table.

Walking to the table and sitting down Merces said "Ah, Grath omelets are my favorite. *bites* Mhhhh dehicous" said the boy with his mouth full of his favorite food.

"What did I tell you about speaking with a full mouth?"

*gulp*

"Sorry, sorry, hehehe" said the boy while scrathing the back of his head.

"So, when do you have to be at Lady Alaya´s place?" said the uncle switching the topic.

"In a hour." Said the boy and taking his last bite. *gulp* "Thanks for the meal uncle, I will go to feed Zanek now." And runed into the barn.

"Gruuu" grumbled Zanek happily seeing his master.

"I brought you breakfast Zanek."

Merces then laid some fruits and meat near Zanek.

"Partner in a hour we have to be at teachers place so eat quickly and meet me in front of the house." Said Merces to the Dactori who is happily munching away his food.

*munch* *munch* *munch* *much*

***

*knock* *knock*

"Come in it´s open." Heard the human beast duo who are standing in front of a Victorian house.

Going inside they walked into the study room and sat there patiently, stroking Zaneks head, waiting for his teacher to arrive.

Zanek just laid next to Merces and falling in sleep again while he grumbles happily from time to time.

'I wish my life would be that easy.' Thought the boy looking at his tamed beast.

After 3 minutes of waiting the beautiful mage, in a purple rope and same colored which hat, came with a tea trail and took the seat in front of her student. Sipping some and letting a content sigh.

"Today I am going to teach you about magic affinity.""

"There are 6 main elements. Those are fire, water, earth, wind, light and darkness, which are also the most common elements. Additionally, to those 6 main elements there are many subcategory's and branch elements, such as..."
