Day after the advancement

Darius opened his eyes. He inhaled and exhaled deeply. The feeling of new birth permeated him.

...Blood of ancestors circulating thy vessels. Thou are the Thunder roaring in the sky. Thou are the Sun waking up the world. Thou are the Sea crushing into the rock... }

Every part of him became more powerful. Knowledge of new skills emerged in his head.

'I became faster and stronger. Also now I can conduct mystical rituals and write runes. But I don`t know any rituals and runes...'

Darius stood up and went outside. To easy his mood he wanted to test how powerful he had become.

Listening to birds singing, he become to excersice. Every muscle in his body was working. He saw Theor emerging out of the house.

"You look more powerful than before. I even see your spirit become brighter" - Theor praised Darius with a smile on his face.

"it`s Heathen"- said Darius, - "My class is Heathen"

"Hmm, Heathen. It must be class of Spirit domain. And seeing your physical power it also have to belong to Flesh, as a part of Zombie distinction, am I right? What powers do you have?"- asked old shaman.

"I get knowledge that I can write runes and conduct rituals. It just emerged in my head"

"Oh, Runes and rituals. You are really lucky to get class of such specialization. You can become a mystic expert or beast hunter." - Theor was truly happy for his apprentice. In his own life he didn't reach high.

"With such abilities you can try to get scholarship from some powerful people to get into good academy. But first you need to learn at least some classical rituals and basic runes."

"Remember: runes writing needs a conductor. The duration of effect depends on it. If you want immediate reaction you can use your spirit as a conductor. Just form runes in your mind. There are common runes and the you get with a class - secret ones. Every class with a rune writing have their special secret runes. To get them you need to meditate."

"Can different classes have the same secret runes?" - asked Darius curiously.

"Sometimes they intersect, sometimes not. You never can know for sure" - answered old man, - " For next month you should meditate to uncover your secret runes. It would be your main argument, when you will ask for scholarship".

"What about rituals? Your class is "Witch Doctor", isn't it? Teach me some powerful ones." - said Darius with a smile.

"It will be tought in academy. And it is quite common ability. No one will be impressed with it to give you money." - some kind of sadness can be felt in Theor words.
