Toddler and Magic

Two years passed by in what felt like days for Chronic. Now that he could walk and talk a little he was ready for magic. Typically people wouldn't have any magic before greeting the Gods at their statues when you turn 12 years old but there are always exceptions. making his escape from the house is going to be hard, his mom never leaves him alone for more than ten minutes at a time. Three days of attempts ended in failure, the first day he didn't even make it out of his parents room. The second day was better he got to the bottom of the stairs and was picked up by his dad. on the third day he got all the way to the door before a guest opened it and grabbed him saying he is his uncle, his dad's older brother. Today though he just knew he was going outside so he could use his magic.

He has used his magic before but his mom sensed magic and woke up swinging her claws around, scaring him to the point he didn't attempt it again. She got a sensitivity to magic as a side effect of her blessing from the God of war Titan Mars called Predator Instinct. Outside he was free to use his magic because he'd be over one hundred feet away which he over heard her say was her limit for sensing magic used. lacking the blessing to use magic herself she became so fixated on it that she gained the side effect ability magic scent allowing her to notice any magic within one hundred feet of her at any time. Though if she actively used it she could sense magic up to half a mile which everyone thinks is overkill seeing as she can also remember the magical signature of whoever or whatever used magic in her presence. Still, before he could attempt using his magic again he needed to make it outside where he will be out of his mothers hundred foot range. He picked 3am as his escape time because in his previous life it was that time he snuck out to hang with his friends. Without a clock he just waited until his parents fell asleep. Then about 3 hours later he made his move climbing out of his bed in his parents room he slowly walked to the door, listening for the slightest sound that might be his mom waking up and catching him.

Opening the door slowly he climbed off the chair he placed earlier that day near the door and exited, leaving it open so he could sneak back in later. Quietly as possible he descended the stairs making it to the bottom a minute later. Stopping to listen for any sound upstairs he waited one minute before heading to the back door, slowly he pulled a chair from the table to the door which he found locked as he tried to push it open. The lock was just a simple hook lock which he easily opened, then pushed the door open and was so excited he didn't notice his dad walking up behind him. Opening the door he walked outside and counted one hundred feet out just to be sure he wouldn't wake his mom. His dad woke up the moment he opened the bedroom door having gained a blessing from the God of war Titan Mars called Hunters Soul, which enhanced all 5 of his senses by a factor of 10 making his senses more like an animal than other wolfkin which already have heightened senses. Watching his son with interest, he stood by the door ready to grab him should he stray too far.

Reaching his targeted distance he looks around not seeing anyone and why should he? His town was safe as could be so everyone slept comfortably knowing the wild wolves that lived near the town would howl should danger approach. Besides, they also had 30 guards at each entrance who would also rouse the sleeping town should it face any threat. seeing that no one was around outside, he started gathering his magic to his hands and concentrates on what type of magic he wants to use which is wind magic. From his hands the magic travels to his back, once there it forms wings of light. slowly he rises off the ground thinking to himself "holy shit I'm flying, I'm fucking flying". Watching his son from the back door Fenrir is completely shocked to not only see his son use magic but, also fly in the air like it was second nature to him. Stuck in his shock he didn't notice that Freya had woken up and was behind him with the same shocked expression on her face.

flying through the air Chronic was curious if he could use other magic at the same time, so with that thought he gathered more magic in his hands and cast fireball which he shot into the sky. Upon reaching fifty feet higher than the forty feet off the ground he was flying at, the fireball exploded with a loud bang waking the whole town. The explosion caused Chronic to panic and lose his concentration and his magic wings vanish and he started falling. "aaaaah" he screamed as he fell assuming death was all that awaited him, after all in his mind he was 2 years old and a million feet off the ground all by himself. Panic took hold of his parents as they saw their son falling, both rushed out to catch him before he could be hurt by hitting the ground. However before he got low enough for them to grab him, Chronic regathered his magic wings and completely stopped his fall ten feet in the air.

After he stopped himself from falling he opened his eyes only to see two faces filled with shock and relief. Chronic panicked seeing his parents looking at him and lost his control, he fell right into their arms and started crying while thinking "I almost died yo, what the hell why did the fireball explode? I didn't want that it shocked me and I almost died. Why don't you get any warnings about that shit?". Catching their son both parents looked at each other, then at the crying child in their arms and back to each other and started laughing. "Why are you laughing I could have died and you think it's funny you damn monsters, I hate you both. damn I need a blunt to calm my nerves." Chronic thought while crying. Within minutes the townspeople showed up along with the guard trying to figure out what just happened. Freya and Fenrir just smiled apologetically as they explained everything to everyone as this kind of thing has never happened before.

When the townspeople heard the story they all looked at Chronic and thought "God blessed child" while he thought "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it don't hate me it was an accident. In fact if anyone is to blame it's that damn Anu Bis. Yeah, it's his fault so be mad at him". The whole town decided that this should be celebrated so started gathering things for a party surprising Chronic. "instead of being mad they are throwing a party I must be going crazy, I just caused an explosion and I'm getting a party? must be because no one got hurt. Still I'm not going to jail so I guess that's what matters."
