When Kyran turned 18, his life turned upside down. The Royal Army raided his clan because his supposedly non-existent magic got exposed. On that fateful night, he was the only one who escaped. Up to the present, the status of his clan was unknown. A magic inheritance that became a curse, Kyran became a fugitive. Always on the run... living in fear when the Royal Army finally captures him. At least that's what most people thought... "I'll definitely save my family. And I will make all those who made my clan suffer pay tenfold. I'll make use of this magic they so feared, and show them what real terror is...." Disclaimer: The cover image isn't mine. I'll replace it when I finished mine.
"Are you done transmuting your weapon?" Kyran asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Kairo's eyes widened in surprise. It was one thing if Kyran had used the word 'summoning,' but he used the term 'transmuting.'
This...
Even the audience who heard Kyran thought they had misheard him.
An undaunted smile soon replaced Kairo's surprised expression, and he said, "Oh? I did not think you would realize my trick."
Gasps of surprise filled the gallery. They did not mishear Kyran after all! But transmute? Most of them were mages and would not misuse that word. Did it mean that Kairo was actually...?
Kyran shrugged and said, "Was it meant to be a secret? It was too obvious. I thought you wanted everyone to know."
Kairo's brow twitched. Before he could fully react, Kyran had already made a move and ran toward him.
Light golden magic arrays appeared and circled Kyran's forearms and lower legs.
