Awakening

<From this chapter i am speaking from the main character Reed's pov>

I Reed am from an well known Ember family known for the two great heroes , my father and brother. Meanwhile i at age 16 haven't awaken any magic or any abilities. Though i have trained with the sword and better at just raw sword skills than kids my age but that never is enough cause the gap in magic is everything. 

In an journey i even joined the northern army led by the Northern duke Owen . He is known to be one of the great heroes in the continent and is one of the Council of Heroes alongside my father. The council of heroes and the council of demon lord are quite harmonious and co-operates with each other. The Heroes are there to help people feel safe against threats, meanwhile the demon lord council consists of demon lords who are leader of their own territory maintaining peace with each other for their own people but are feared by some due to the legends. 

I knew Owen as he is the friend of my father, so i could sneak into his army and fight without my parents knowing. I did this cause of the rumor that one awakens in the heat of battle. And this was the best chance of me ever getting into a real battle. In the battle i got hard time i was behind due to me not having any magic .

Reg(a fellow soilder)> Hey kid you know you don't need to push yourself so hard , it seems you don't even have a slightest bit of magic.

Me> No I can do this

Reg> Then be careful kid.

I could see the confusion in reg's eyes of why someone so young is in army and trying so hard. One day I heard that we were supposed to follow Owen to the battle to defeat the Orc lord and his army of berserk orcs.

I followed Owen as the member of his army without Owen noticing cause Owen's priority was focused on the Orc lord. As we reached the place the Orc Lord has already evolved into the Orc disaster. we fought and defeated the army with me struggling and barely managing to kill one Orc by tricking it. Meanwhile the battle was already over , Owen had already defeated the Orc disaster and was trying to look what could've caused it to evolve. Then suddenly the core of the Orc left and flew straight targeting me and attacking on my chest . The pain was so bad that it felt like my entire body was being ripped, the parasite like core was attached to my chest and stabbing me , the pain made me faint out.

When I woke up i was in Owen's palace and on his guest Room's bed. There were doctors and Owen looking at me with concern and anger. I could guess the reason he was angry, He then scolded me and had doctors and maids take care of me. Even his wife Serina who treated me like her son scolded me and then take care of me until they decided to make me return to my home. Then the final day i awakened my magic with my signature ability to control darkness. Both Owen and Serina were surprised.

Owen> It seems that the core which stuck on your chest which was trying to corrupt you ended up awakening you.

Me> But uncle , what happened and what was that core and how did you remove it.

Owen> It seems that someone added some external element to the Orc lords core to make him evolve and it tried to corrupt you which your soul fought resulting to release of your magic.

Me> So i want you to teach me Uncle!

Owen> unfortunately i can't teach you

Me> why?

Owen> cause my powers is that of a hero while your is of darkness probably due to your heritage of a demon.

I returned to my area , deciding to learn magic on my own since i don't want to disturb my dad and brother who are busy in their duties. I returned home and hugged my mother, lil sister and told them i awakened my magic. They were happy for me. But for now mom told me to take rest. I agreed but asked her if is there are books about demon magic and darkness since that is probably what i should learn. She told me a few good books which i should learn after getting hang of magic. I then start to learn to use magic with the things i already know
