The White Demon's Origins Part 2

Two days later its finally time to take my Tier Test. The festival is for all the 10 year old children that are being tested today. It is considered to be the most important holiday of the year, the entire day is filled with games and food, and the children march down the streets adorned with flowers and robes on their way to be tested.

The whole day seemed to be a blur from excitement. Finally, after hours of waiting and being praised along with the other children, the parade towards the giant Parthenon where we will be tested.

As we walk down the street toward the Parthenon, Ida runs up and is jumping with excitement. "what Tier do you think we will get? I hope mines Diamond Tier like mom's!" I smile and ruffle her golden curls.

She then attempt to grab my smooth shoulder length blond hair before i duck out of the way laughing. I pull the hood of my robe up to help protect my pale skin from the merciless sun. After around 30 more minutes of this walking, we reach the steps of the Parthenon.

At the top, a man wearing golden robes stood on a balcony and began to speak in a loud booming voice. "Children today marks a historical day in all your young lives, today marks the beginning of your life in society.

After a long speech, he finally announces please proceed to the room you are assigned to within the Parthenon to take your test the man finishes. "Good luck Ida." I whisper in her ear. She turns and nods, her smile nearly blinding me.

I turn and walk into the building and head towards the downward stairs. "Room -124." I repeat to myself to make sure I don't forget. As I pass through the halls, I notice they are richly adorned with gold an expensive paintings. Finally, I reach the room.

I take a deep breath, then step inside. The room is lightly light and there is a man in the corner wearing purple robes. "Hello, you must be Tasuki Pyxis. It's a pleasure to meet you. I will be your test administrator Knox Maxilla. Are you ready to begin?" He asks in a slightly accented and kind voice.

Too excited for words, I sit on a stool and nod my head. He takes a needle and pricks my right index finger. He takes the blood over to a little container and then casts a spell on the blood and studies it for around five minutes.

He then turns pale from shock. In a weak voice he asks, "Please stay where you are and don't move. He then begins drawing a weird circle around me. Confused I asked the man, "Um sir, what are you doing?" He ignores me and continues drawing the circle. "Um sir Knox, whats going on? He replies, "Just be quiet and sit still." Confused I oblige to his request. Soon he finishes the circle, it begins to glow and everything turns black.

"AH" I gasp as soon as I wake up. "What the," I mutter "where am I?" I look around, and everything is black. Then I hear a deep raspy voice in my head.

"Hello young one."

I look around but don't see anyone. "Uh h-h-hello?" I stutter in fear.

"Your magic smells delicious. I can't wait to feast on it."

"M-m-my Magic? F-f-feast?"

"Yes it smells amazing. Once I devour your magic, I will finally be able to materialize in the real world."

"wh-wh-what about me?"

"Ah yesss, what about youuuu. Well, my guess would be that you are returned to the human relm without magic."

I am stunned. "No! I won't let you take it, IT'S MINE!" I scream at the air.

I hear a husky laugh, "VERY GOOD, you interest me. Tell you what, I will let you in on a little secret, once I devour your magic, and I WILL devour it, I will materialize in a random location in the world. I can tell by your magic strength, that I will be hailed as a powerful demon lord. If you manage to kill me, then you will be able to reclaim your magic. My name is Demon Lord Phantiaxe, remember it well, as the one who stole your magic from you."

Then suddenly, a excruciating pain comes from my chest and I scream in pain. It feels as if my very soul is being devoured. I scream for what seems like hours as I see my blonde hair turn white. The pain is overwhelming, tears streak down my eyes, "NO, my magic." But due to the pain I can't even manage enough resolve to fight back.

In the back of my mind before passing out, evil laughter echo's through my entire being. Thank you human you have been extremely helpful.
