Magic?

"Hmm, they forgot about me? 20 years have passed, it is only natural they would forget. Well then, what should we do Rin? I will get my revenge it is the last thing I do! The king grew old already? Hh, humans are weaker than I thought."

"Yes. They are truly pitiful creatures. How could they get in your way, brother? They sealed you here for 20 years. How could you let that happen? Tss, and you were supposed to be the stronger one between us. Hm, so unpleasant."

"Yes, indeed, but I will have my revenge on the king. I will kill him, then his kid, and then the entire humanity. I will kill them all, all... ALL... DEATH."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."

"What was that? A dream? No, a nightmare?"

I am breathing heavily. I fall asleep as I was searching for a book. I was sleeping on a table in the library over a black book whit a strange seal. Oh, now I remember, his Highness asked me to open this book for him. I wonder what does this book contains that needs a seal so strong to keep it closed at any cost. Anyway, I should open it.

"Oh, yeh. Chop do you remember when we first met?"

"Oh, do you talk about the day you first took control over my body? Yes, I remember it well. What about it?"

"Well, I have some questions for you regarding what you said that day."

"If I think about it, I believe that I have some questions for you as well."

"Ok then, I will start. When I was taking your body you said something about magic..."

"I had a feeling that would be what you ask. I need to tell you that about a weak ago I started to see bits of your memories. I sow that your world doesn't have anything like the magic in this place, so I will take the time to explain everything I know to you."

"Please do!"

"Ok then. There are three types of magic use in this world. The first one, the one that is the less effective is witchery or witchcraft. This type of magic can only be performed by the witches. The magic uses a sacrifice like rats, frogs, bugs, plants, and sometimes humans to be performed. The witches are weak creatures whit little magic energy. They make use of the sacrifices to spear their magic. The church calls that "devilish cast". A witch is a fearless adversary who would do anything to get her victims."

"Oh, to remember, never piss off a witch."

"Yes, that is correct. The second use of magic is alchemy. This kind of magic is specific to humans, they being the only one who can use it. Alchemy is much like the chemistry I sow in your memories. That periodic table of yours almost applies here, whit a few changes in the elements. To be an alchemist you need to have a vast knowledge about the elements of this world. Alchemists study 20 years for that, they learn to use their magic to change the elements. For example, changing coal to diamond, or led to gold, and so on. They are the highest nobility rank under the king.

"Ok, so just like the tails about alchemy in my world."

"Yes, I recall seeing in your memories of stories that resemble our world. Anyway, the third form of magic is the row one. Row magic is not specific for any species in general, but the most powerful row magic is used by the elves even tho once in a while a human surpasses them in that category. The row magic is the most complicated of the three. Firstly, there are four natural elements, fire, water, earth, and wind. Those who can control one of them are the commoners. In this case, someone can use two of them he is automatically moved up to the middle class of the society. If there is someone who can use three of them, he is automatically nobility and in the odd case of having all four natural elements, well that guy is considered a Saint, recognized by the church. They have the highest privileges in our society, their word is almost absolute in the church, only the High Priest can command over him. And then there is the magic of the dark and light. The magic of light is practically healing, whit the only drawback being that you can't bring someone from the dead. Those who can use it are considered Saints as well. The dark magic is the opposite, it can inflict any amount of pain on someone, but the pain is the same for the user. Only devils are the exception to the rule. Those who possess dark magic are exiled from our country. Last, but not least, destruction magic. This particular one is interesting. It can negate all other magic that is shut at the user. The peoples who use destruction magic are part of the Royal Protection Service. The RPS is the last line of defense of the king. That is about all."

"Got it. Finally, I broke the seal. We should get this to the king."

"Yes, of course, you opened it."

"Oh, one last question. I see that everybody has this row magic. Which element do we have?

" Oh... that is... we... We have all of them"

"What, that means that you should be a nobility. Doesn't it?"

"Well... Those things don't apply for us, orphans. If the church would know of my powers, I would exploit, used for their purposes. We would now work non-stop for the church."

And that concluded my questions. Now all I need to do is to get the book to his highness. This strange black book, which was heavily sealed, now wide open in my hands. I wonder if the king was testing my skills.

"Oh, yeh. What about your question Chop?"

"Nevermind, I already got the answer, no point in asking you now."
