Spell
August's sight getting weird feeling about the house's roof, at first sight there seems nothing extraordinary about it. After some detailed observation, at the ones of the wooden scaffolding there are some familiar symbol carved. It's the same symbol that he saw on the church's library in Espia.
The symbol is just a dot and two curves that made a figure like an eye. Then a flash of memories surge to his left eye from the symbol, it forced the eye to stay opened. An excruciating pain made his tears and slightly dark blood flow to his cheeks. His body then fall on his knees and he said "Damn, why always pain that comes" August doesn't feel the pain anymore, just his body that still react to it. His will have been tempered from losing his wrist.
August felt the warm around his left eye, and then he started to see some flow around him. The flow of white light that flow pass his body felt like a calm wind. When he sees the wooden floor, an asymmetric pattern looks like drawn on it. Then he started to walk near the window and the view he saw become different. The vivid and glowing scenery looked like surreal painting, but he knows that it was real.
At The Holy Church, August never got the chance to study the so called healing magic. August was originally from Celtanors Island, he and his father become refugee on the mainland of Avrupa after they run from the island. From the Verance Federation he spent his late childhood, then gone south to the small but famous port at the Kingdom of Geas all under the protection of The Holy Church.
August's father was the first disciple of the priest at the Celtanors Holy Church that had been destroyed by the invader. The Holy Church lost 80% of their believer at the Celtanors, most died and the other converted or fled. Around hundreds of disciple killed, dozen of priest crucified, and the leader of the Celtanors Holy Church gone into thin air. Carrying rosary or having tattoo that symbolise a cross then walk around the street was like carrying 'kill me' sign.
The raider and now the major power of Celtanors Island was called "Sons of Justice" an organisation that started from a small group who unified the pagans, believer of the old God, naturalist, and the fire worshipper to act against The Holy Church. At first they just refused the teaching of the church, but at the end an unresolvable conflicts forced both side to violent approach.
The Celtanors Island originally an isolated island that doesn't know 'peace' because there wasn't any war between everyone. They cooperate with each tribe, village, kingdom, cult, community about how to treat the sick or how to end the plague, it doesn't matter if you are a Pagans or Christians or other believer. Even after age of magic, they don't have a desire to annexes each other. But The Holy Church becomes a different forces after the newly chosen leader.
The old ways, the common sense and culture always have been the way of life for the population of Celtanors. The Islander becomes provoked by the new teaching and way of The Holy Church. The Islander's 'peace' getting disturbed and racism to converted or Holy Church believers and extremely the outsiders becomes worst for each passing days. At the 14
The memories of his childhood at the Celtanors Island coming back to August. He remember about his father's happy face when become the disciple of Priest Bennham, he is sometimes a mason, a blacksmith's apprentice, and a musician if needed. August idolised his father, his flexibilities and adaptiveness to stay proud and cool in his son's eyes was very impressive. Their neighbours and friends called him 'The Jack of All Trades', a man that can do anything and everything.
Priest's disciple doesn't makes much money, but The Holy Church sufficed their daily needs. Another trait that his father's agreed was because an access to the library for his son to study. He don't want to make his son becomes like him, good at everything but master of nothing. If his son have mastery over something or able to incantate any spell, world will be easier to live.
