The Origin

Damon wakes up to a rooster crowing, goes down the stairs and makes breakfast for him and his sister, then proceeds to do manual labour. He comes back home slightly before noon only to find the little girl still sleeping in his bed. He gently tugs on her sleeve to wake her up but it doesn't seem to work, so he poured a bucket of water on her face. The girl opens her eyes slightly and when she notices Damon, she aimed her palm towards him and shouts: "Ligare!".

Damon couldn't move an inch as if ten people were holding him down. He was scared and confused at the same time.

-"Who are you?", blatantly asks the girl.

-"That's my line! I'm the one who found you laying on the ground late at night, what were you doing there?", replies furiously Damon.

-"I asked you a question. Answer.", states the girl.

-"I'm Damon. I found you yesterday collapsed near the shed. Now, tell me who are you and why can't I move.", answers Damon.

-"Well since I can't feel any strong magic from you, I doubt you're much of a threat so I'll cancel the spell. I'm Eleanor. I'm what you humans call: A Fairy. I come from another world called Elvenheim, where magic is used everywhere. What I used on you was a magic spell to restrict your movement.", explains nonchalantly Eleanor.

-"I'm still sceptical about this whole thing, but I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Wh...what brings you here?", asks hesitantly Damon.

-"The Fallen. They are fairies that use magic maliciously and got banished. They've joined forces and have already conquered half of Elvenheim. After they conquer it, they will try to conquer Earth, which is why I need The Paladin's help. The Paladin has an immeasurable and unimaginable strength. For one to become Paladin, he has to complete The Tower of God. In the end, he will be granted any wish.", explains Eleanor

-"If I recall correctly, you said you don't feel strong magic emitting from me, so that means I do have some. How can I use it like you?"

-"Your magic pores are sealed so you won't be able to use it. However, as thanks for letting me spend the night, I'll open them for you. Remove your shirt and close your eyes, it'll be over in a second"

Damon blushes and follows her instructions. Eleanor puts her hand over his chest and says some weird words. Moments later, Damon opens his eyes and doesn't feel any different.

-"I can't feel anything. Are you sure it worked?"

Eleanor notices something weird in his magic but decides to not pay attention to it.

-"Raise your arm, focus on your hand and repeat after me: 'Actio!' "

A cup suddenly starts levitating and moving across the room then gets back to where it was.

Damon follows her commands, and yells: 'Actio!'

Abruptly, every object in Damon's room gets thrown at his closet.

-"Weird, that's not what the spell was supposed to do. I think you're having a hard time controlling your magic. Here, take this necklace, it will help you. But, you have to promise me to not use magic when other humans are present."

Damon wears the necklace and retries. The spell did the same thing as Eleanor's.

-"You have my word. But you can't sleep with me any longer, otherwise, my dad or sister will see you. You have to sleep in the barn and the next day, you can teach me more about magic."
