The Banished Mage of Stocaea 1, 2, & 3

Here you will follow the story of a banished mage called Christopher Newman as he ventures to other lands to find a family of his own. Being a wizard who has experience in spatial magic. (in which this magic type is only acceptable in nobility) He finds himself confident he won't lose in a conflict, but the world is full of surprises that our mage did not account for. Will he survive the horrors of the forests surrounding Stocaea? Or will he die not knowing where he truly belongs? This book takes place in the first twenty-five years of Christopher's life. We will follow all his laughs, cries, sorrows, wins, losses, and his adventures around the realm of Epusdma. He will make friends, acquittances and enemies as well as develop his skill and experience in magic. This is the very first book in the Epusdma series and book 1 of 9 in the Christopher chronicles *trigger warning* contains examples of problems such as racism, inequality, SA, homophobia and many more. I hope to tackle as many human faults as I can.

Chapter 2 Part 2

It is the morning after Christopher's first day of training.

Christopher gets woken up be Haider, after an abrupt morning wake up, Christopher realises that Haider shoved a waxed stick up his right nostril.

"I can't believe you've done this!" Christopher says in a shockingly calm fashion.

As Christopher tries to pull out the wax stick from his nose, Haider books it for the dining room, knowing full well that Christopher can't do shit in Sister Helga's presence.

After several unsuccessful attempts to pull out the stick Christopher yells

"When I find you Haider, I'm going to kick you in the balls!".

Realising that Sister Helga heard that, he tries to hide under the bed. As he laid there, hoping he was hidden, he hears Sister Helga's footsteps creeping closer and closer

* thump* *thuMP* *THUMP*

As the door flies wide open, he realizes that he is in fact, Well and truly Fucked.

Sister Helga knowing where Christopher is hidden, like c'mon it's his bedroom the only place he can hide is under the bed. Anyway, knowing where Christopher is, Sister Helga asks

"Can you please come from under the bed young man?"

Christopher complies with her demand

After Christopher stands from under his bed, The sister yells

"Haider come here please!"

As Haider makes his way to the room, Sister Helga puts up 2 fingers to Christopher's face.

"Christopher, close your eyes." Sister Helga asks.

After Christopher closes his eyes, A spell circle with 5 runes appears at her fingers. The spell was white in colour, producing a wind spell that she can control. A small pocket of air appears in Christopher's nose just behind where the wax ends. Sister Helga pulls her fingers back hard and the wax stick comes flying out, as well as all of Christopher's nose hairs.

Just as the stick is pulled out, Christopher produced a very loud and high-pitched scream. It was at this moment Haider walks into the room.

"Why did you do this to Christopher Haider?" Sister asks

'I just thought it would be funny' Haider replies.

"If you pull a stunt like this again, I'll use the same spell that I used on The Father yesterday. Do you understand?" Said Sister Helga in an unsettlingly calm manner.

'Yes ma'am!' Haider exclaimed in fear.

(Narrator) damn, she's even scary to the kids? I'm glad in just the Narrator.

"Now that's done with, go brush your teeth and get dressed for the day" Sister Helga instructs Christopher

Afraid of what The Sister would do to him, Christopher does just that. He makes his bed and gets dressed ready for the day. He leaves his room and turns right towards the bathroom, passing several bedrooms before reaching said room. Christopher grabs his toothbrush and wets it under the tap before putting on a dab of toothpaste. The toothpaste doesn't taste like mint like you would have expected. It's more a taste of chalk and soap.

After spitting out the toothpaste Christopher grabs a small cup and fills it with water to swill out the excess paste from his mouth. After a not so pleasant time cleaning his mouth, Christopher grabs some water from the tap with his hands and splashes his face with the cold liquid to help him wake, he then reaches for a towel made from linen from a rack next to the sink and dries his face.

preceding his daily schedule Christopher walks downstairs into the kitchen to see if sister Helga needs any help with dishing out or cooking.

"Good morning Sister, is there anything you need help within the kitchen?" Christopher asks.

Sister Helga replies. "Morning Christopher, yes could you mind setting the table for me please."

Christopher grabs 5 wooden plates from a bottom cupboard next to the AGA. Now you're wondering, "how the hell does this era have a cast iron oven in its kitchen's?"

well, a Dwarf named Mr. Masgreag Oor. He is a very talented and experienced smithy who uses magic to make his metal, he takes great pride, time and effort with all the inventions he creates and graciously gives out the blueprint to other smithies to get his one-of-a-kind creations spread throughout the Stocaean Empire, his most famous inventions are the AGA and a Hearth made from metal. Mr. Orr has the metal attribute with the affinity of creation. The limit to his creation magic stems from the consumption rate, the spell requires 3 rune circles with the runes themselves ranging from 30-50 in number, the more runes is added the higher quality metal but also a much higher consumption rate than conventional spells. If Masgreag was to use this spell till he uses up all the magic he can store, he can create an average of 6kg of metal at the highest quality within 30 seconds.

After such a scenario, it would take Mr. Oor roughly 12 hours to replenish his magic. This is 4 times faster than the usual rate as he has trained his body to extremes. However total depletion of magic is very dangerous, it can cause symptoms such as fever, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, severe magic deficiency and worst-case death.

Now let's get back to the story.

After Christopher grabbed the wooden plates from the cupboard. He goes next to Sister Helga who is preparing an egg in a nest for breakfast to open the cutlery drawer and collect five sets of utensils, which no one will use.

(NARRATOR) AH HA HA! The fucking idiot.

Christopher walks to the dining room and carefully sets the table for each of the church's residents. He then dusts his hands at job well done. The idiot sits himself down in his chair at the dining room table. It is at this moment that Father Newman enters the room from the direction of his private quarters.

(NARRATOR) Hmm, I wonder what he does in his private quarters.

Father looks at the poorly set table, then at the Moron sitting at said table with a proud expression on his face. The Father tries his best to hold back his laughter and sits at the head of the table, hoping and praying he gets to see Sister Helga whoop his ass.

Sister Helga bustled in with a ladened tray of eggs in a nest and promptly slammed the tray down on the dining table. This startled Christopher. She looks around the table confused as to why it's completely screwed up. Her head sharply turns to Christopher and sees that stupid grin on his face, Sister smiles at him and asks Christopher to call in the twins.

Christopher gets up from his seat, walks to the front door and calls them in as instructed. In less that than a moment Heather and Haider burst through the door FULL of energy and joy. They plop themselves down at table, patiently waiting for the food to be blessed. With the entire church's residents at the table Father blesses their food.

"I bless you in the name of the Mother. I bless you in the name of the Father. I bless you in the name of the Spirit who moves through all things. I bless you in the name of the animals and plants that provide us our food. I bless you in the name of the idiot who set our table."

After Father's dreadful display. Sister slowly gets up from her seat and starts walking over to the cackling old wanker. She holds her right arm to Fathers face and 3 almost black, dark red rune circles materialise with an estimate of 50 rune inside all 3. Each rune circle is at each major joint of her arm.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Don't you think that's too extreme?" Father exclaims nervously as he chuckles.

'Definitely not' Helga states with confidence.

A small spark hit father in the mouth as Sister finally completed the spell.

(narrator) wait, WHAT?! That's brutal, even for Helga.

'There, now your face can't say anymore stupid things.' sister proclaims as she walks back to her chair.

"What di-. C'mon please give back my tongue" Father mouthed.

'I'm sorry, what was that. speak up!' sister said with a glare so horrific that a magic aura appeared around her.

Not even phased, Father looks at Christopher and mouthed "worth it."

'Want me to steal your eyes too?!' Helga yells

Father Newman immediately shakes his head no.

'Good, the spell wares off in a couple hours' Sister explains.

'Now, let's eat.' Sister said to everyone present.

In an instant, both the twins spring forward to grab the breakfast that Sister made for them.

Sister Helga, completely stunned by how fast they moved stutters on her words and says "h-h-hay now slow down a bit, there's plenty of food for everyone. What's the hurry?"

'Sorry Sister. Me and my brother had so much fun outside playing that we made ourselves peckish.' Heather said, now embarrassed by the way she acted.

"What did you do that made you both so hungry?" Father mouthed, already forgetting that Helga removed his tongue.

It sounded like. "Hugh hgh hgh hg hugh hugh hgh hugh hg hughhu."

(narrator) Bah hahahahahaha!

Father looked as if he had given up on life after that embarrassing display.

Both Sister Helga and the orphan twins all started cackling like witches while Christopher spat out the water he had put in his mouth. it not only came out his mouth but his nose too.

Father Newman spent the rest of breakfast glaring at Helga while everyone else enjoyed Sister's hard work.
