Toddler and Magic 2
The party started off with empty tables, grills set up and fires going with the smell of seasoned meat cooking wafting through the night air. thirty minutes later the table is full of cooked meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, breads of wheat and rye, soups with meats and veggies with pasta or rice, and liquor and juices and elven teas. people playing instruments while singing as others sang and danced, not one person man woman or child was left out of the festivities. drinking games and wrestling matches among the youthful adults, games of strategy among the elders and older children 12 to 14 years old seeing as 15 years old made one an adult. children 5 to 11 played tag and hide and seek, while 4 and under got to listen to stories that have been passed down through many years well before the peace of the last hundred years.
Chronic having gotten into the party spirit like everyone else but, encouraged to try his magic again decided to try once more. However, this time he was prepared for what might happen having experienced the unexpected explosion of the fireball. Gathering his magic once again wings of light formed on his back and he took to the sky ready to create many fireballs to emulate fireworks from his former life on Earth. He fired off 20 fireballs about 15 seconds apart surprising everyone even farther as the sky lit up as many mini suns formed and faded. going further to play with his magic he made the next set different shapes like stars, crescent moons, wolves, cows, and of course weed leafs. Everyone was left speechless as different shapes took form in the skies above them, even more surprising for all was this plant leaf none had ever seen before. Most people just assumed he was trying to make leaves from a maple tree and just got it wrong so they clapped and cheered anyway. Everyone was more impressed with the control over magic Chronic had than anything else. Even the best magic users in town weren't sure they could pull off what this toddler has just done.
Hearing all the cheers he was getting he decided to try making the fire change colors by adding different magical properties with the fireballs. Some were pink and some were orange others had a hint of green and a few with blueish colors added. The surprises kept coming as he switched to ice spikes filled with light magic of different colors having shot fifty all at once and another fifty more to crash into the now falling previous ice spikes. booms could be heard all around the town as the ice smashed and shards of light filled ice covered the entire area of the party and even a few streets over. twenty minutes later the magic show ended with Chronic completely tired and nodding off in his moms arms thinking "So this is magic? it's nothing short of amazing, still I miss weed and can't wait until I'm twelve."
The party was the talk of the town the next few days, no one could believe what they had seen from a child. "His future is going to be bright" and "Truly blessed by the Gods that child is" were among the top comments. only a handful of people saw Chronic as a bad omen saying "He's definitely blessed but, anyone that blessed must have a hard and even cursed future ahead of them right?" and "For what reason has the Gods blessed this child for? I fear peace might not last much longer" were the top negative comments. Even though he heard these things it didn't matter to Chronic, after all his real magic will come when he turns 12 years old was all he could think about. Only now his thoughts were about how magic could make weed even better, as he started thinking about how he could improve it and what effects could be had. the best part is he had just under 10 years to learn more about magic and its effects on other plants such as herbs for healing and poisons. Chronic knew he was going to spend his next few years studying magic and herbology. it wasn't going to be fun exactly but, it would be worth it and that's what mattered most.
Worries of the townspeople reached Freya and Fenrir, at first they brushed it off as if it was a child's fear of monsters under the bed. Days went by and still people shared their fear for Chronic and his seemingly cursed level blessing from the Gods. Freya and Fenrir decided that starting now Chronic would learn to fight using not only his magic but, also with weapons and unarmed. What no one knew was that from his previous life on Earth he knew MMA style fighting having taken lessons from age 18 to 35 the age he was when his previous life came to an abrupt end. Muay Thai, Karate, Jujitsu, Jeet Kune Do, and Wrestling is what he used most often. His favorite however was own style a mix of Taekwondo and Muhammad Ali's boxing, which he called his Chronic Burst style which he only ever used in one fight. He was about to be jumped because a fake friend was feeling jealous of his success and set him up, being outnumbered and seeing his now former friend joining his assailants he lost his cool. the fight lasted 5 minutes and only he walked away, without any injury yet covered in blood head to toe.
When Chronic heard his parents talking he knew he was going to surprise them again but, was looking forward to training with weapons. Like every anime fan he wished he could experience battling monsters with a sword and magic and now he wasn't going to have to dream. Soon he would live a life of adventure but, he'd still have weed. "My life couldn't get any better" he thought to himself as he opened up another book about herbology, "Well, after I get my seeds that is" he thought with a smirk.
[Authors note: he can only read books because he always watched his mom read to him, when he would point at a word she would say it and he would remember it having a photographic memory. of course they thought he was just pretending to read and yes, he could talk but decided against it having always been a quiet person in his past life. Also I will give full character description of Chronic and his parents in the next chapter]
