Things going wrong

Lucas was nearly there and all he had to do was touch the kid.

Doing so would ensure the kid is pulled into the subspace present in the system and Lucas could then teleport away from the guards. From there on, he could go about his ways and finally harvest the prodigy and get himself an all elemental affinity.

This plan, although sounded really simple, took great efforts to come to fruition. 

Lucas had to stalk the kid's family for a long time and in this process he ended up learning too many unwanted things about them.

It wasn't a great experience but Lucas felt that it was worth it as long as he became an all elemental mage.

At present, the affinities Lucas had were Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Dark. He didn't have anything extraordinary or mind blowing affinity like Space or Time or Life.

Lucas was as ordinary and average as one could get.
