2 the beginning

A sudden ringing jolted a platoon of 20 soldiers out of bed. The captain of the barracks fell out of bed in a surprised stupor. He had been stationed in lutarias the most quiet village in the entire empire no magical genius had surfaced there in it's entire history even the Nobel that managed the land was of the lowest rank. The lord of the land Count Parei was constantly mocked by the entire court at every meeting. Yet the Latent Magic Detector was blaring.

An exhausted private knocked on the captian's door "Captain Castor the the LMD has detected a potential mage in our area" Castor just glared at the idiot that brought him this news as if it were some newfound revaluation. The caption responded by pointing to the source of the alarm. Before leaving his room he wrote two executive orders one to prepare for if the machine had broken down to send to the count to request a replacement and the other to the private, assigning him the barracks cleaning duties for the next month.

...

Captain Castor lazily walked down the halls to the LMD to check the location of the new "magical genius"

- What crap, it's too dark to tell the time and a magical awakening please. Here, in lutarias. Wait that's Torr's home.-

The captian could no longer contain his misbelief of the situation "BAHAHAHAHAHAH HHHAAAAHAHAHHAHAOHOHOHOH!!!! THAT'S THE HOUSE OF THE TOWN DRUNK THIS DEVICE EXPECTS ME TO BELIEVE THAT A MAGICAL GUINNESS IS BEING AWAKED AT TORR'S HOME OHOHO WHATS HIS MAGIC POWER, CHUGING BARRELS OF CHEAP LIQUOR!!! HAhaha oh that was too good " after regaining his composure he grabbed to soldiers and headed to Torr's cabin

- As stupid as I think this is I still have to follow protocol and check it. What a waste of my time -

...

Castor Knocked on the door of the cabin, and no one came, he knocked again, nothing happened. He continued with this for what felt like an eternity but in reality lasted 2 minutes.

with his veins bulging and his face contorted he screamed "OPEN THE DAM DOOR" he kicked the door and It shattered on impact.

"What in the hell.." he looked in the room and the first thing he saw was Torr lying in a pool of his own excrement, which wasn't suprising at all, what was suprising was his wounds. His his body was covered in strange cuts as if the weapon that had attacked him was alive. Castor started hearing a strange hum and the air felt like it was vibrating. He looked up to see a little boy glowing with magical power?

...

Jaral lay on the ground in so much pain he couldn't even scream.

- why? what did do wrong? why does he hate me? I leave him alone, I hide, and when I come all he does is beat me. where's mom she said she would come out with me. Has she left me to die. I JUST WANT PLAY AND HAVE FUN LIKE NORMAL KID!!!!!!!-

Jaral began to cry as best he could between his father's strikes. Then a voice as soft as a whisper spoke in Jaral's ear "is this true.. do you want to live that life... the abilities to do what you want... however you want... whenever you want..?" Jaral felt something. His power awoke and for the first time he felt happy.

...

Castor walked twords the boy to discover he was sleeping, he was in perfect condition. The boy looked at peace. He felt something very wrong with that expression on a child's face it was the same look worn by his father after he had retired from war. "Grab the boy and bring a healer for Torr."

...

Torr had finally woke up he felt awful, there was an uncomfortable fealing in his pants that he was more familiar with than he would like to admit, he had the worst hangover he had ever experienced in is entire life, and to top it all off his house was filled with soldiers and some prude who looked like he lived with a silver spoon up his butt his entire life with Castor standing behind him. "Ugh Castor just tell me who I insulted and disgraced and I'll apologize" he grunted.

The prude was the first one to awnser him "Actually Sir Torr I'm here to make you an offer, We want your son he not only has tested positive for Latent Magic but he has already made a spirit contract he probably protected you from whomever attacked you."

Torr wasn't convinced " And who the hell ar-" Castor slapped him before he could finish.

"This is the lord of our lands Count Parei and you will show him the respect he deserves." Castor looked at Torr with disgust as he said this.

Being thoroughly iterated Torr just glared at the noble and asked "what's this deal you want." Count Parei estaticly handed Torr the contract. It was a fancy parchment with golden swirls along the edges, and at the top right corner it bore the King's seal. Torr was promised 300 pounds of gold and 20 pounds of power stones along with an estate which held 20 servants and 30 slaves along with the last name of Delm. " You are going to give me all this, for that" he pointed at Jaral for emphasis.

"Yes we want the boy, now give us your awnser" Castor said each word as it left like it left the taste of manure in his mouth.

Torr looked at the noble with biggest smile in his life. "Deal" both men colsed the contract with a hand shake and the signing of the parchment from both parties involved.
