A/N: Chapter 22 is well on its way! I'm almost done, unfortunately I've had to change direction with some of the characters due to the story developing in ways that I didn't plan. That's nt a bad thing, it's a good thing actually since these changes have caused my story to develop (at least what I think anyway) new and awesome directions on where to go. It will be explained more in chapter 22. Thanks for the support guys and chapter 22 will be out soon.

World of Remnant (Journey Edition)

Episode 1: Magic for beginners and losers by John Arc (Voiced by Kent Williams. 1.)

"Okay is this damn thing on!...you sure? Cause I'm talking into and nothing's happening!...wait you mean its been on this whole time…oh…well then I better start huh?"

(John clears his throat and the scene opens up to a pure black screen. Before John speaks the elements rage about, Fire, crashing waves, moving earth, and loud thunder echo in the screen)

"Magic and Dust. For most of humanity the two are indistinguishable. They are the same. You use dust to make magic, simple right? Well like most stuff that humanity thinks they know about the supernatural, they're wrong. Dust and Magic are indeed two different concepts all together, but remain the same.

(Different colours of dust begin to be shown)

Magic is the manipulation of energy and bending it to your will. Dust gives the same results…but is not the same concept. With Dust you're limited to what the energy inside is. Red Dust is combustible, its fire and destruction. Yellow Dust is electricity, its energy, it can be use for offensive and defensive means. But as powerful as Dust spells can be your still limited to what the energy can do.

Not with magic. When you can manipulate the energy freely, no constraints, there is technically nothing you can't accomplish. There's just one little snag…there's only two kinds of people who can use it.

(The four maidens are shown, each in their corresponding colour)

The Maidens of legend, who draw their power directly from the four seasons, are immensely powerful and are the pinnacle of human power…now doesn't it suck there can only be four of them? To make it even worse they can only be woman from the four Royal families, Winter, Fall, Summer, and Spring making the list of people capable of wielding that power down even further. Why you ask? Why the friggen hell would I tell you why? Do I look like an expert? Do I look like I know?...okay I do know but that's for later, stay on topic dammit.

As powerful as the maidens are there is another group that can use magic without dust. The witches.

(Both women and men are displayed on the screen. Some are colourful, carrying aura, others are simply a void, black and outlined by white)

Now witches can be split into two groups, now now I know so many different things at once here but stay with me. There are Natural Witches and then there are witches that are made.

Natural witches can only be women who happen to be born with a unique connection to the world, they can use its abundant energy for their own use. This gives them the added benefit of having aura, semblance, and magic at their disposal although…natural witches rarely know what they are capable of and even if they do know finding a teacher is next to impossible…well one that's not a bitch anyways. But naturals do have a very long lifespan and eternal youth, so they got time.

The second kind of witch are the worse kind. The ones who sell their soul for power. Normal women and even men can become witches when they sell their soul to some higher power of some kind. But they have a distinct advantage that Maiden's and Naturals (witches) don't…they have teachers, access to tomes upon tomes of knowledge. That and they are impervious to physical damage.

(Colour silhouette of John, a swirling black and red, against Lillian who was a void with white outline. Now it is showing John ramming his hand through her chest, Lillian laughing.)

Seriously I'm not kidding I stabbed one…with my hand…kinda went through her heart and she just laughed…talk about walking it off. It was funny, laugh.

(Shows several people battling witches, some witches are male and female)

Anyways the only way to kill a witch like that is to burn them. It can be on a stake (Don't recommend, they can easily escape) or just throw them in a fire pit, but normal fire won't do. One lit by Dust is your only recourse.

Well look at me, talking all about witches, when I should be talking about magic.

(The world of Remnant shown as a swirling mass of rainbow colours)

There are infinite means of magic in the world. As useful a tool that witches have (both Natural and otherwise) they themselves are limited to what we call spellcasting. The use of powerful incantations and rituals to preform their spells. Their words are necessary to direct the energy, to bend it to their will. Maidens however are a different class of spell casters. The very forces of nature bends to their will in anyway they wish, and they still have access to the spells and rituals of witches if they want. Demons can use magic unique to them, Yokai have access to it, even Higher vampires have some magical shit up their sleeves. All in all magic is a very powerful tool, but unlike most tools is different from species to species. We Arcs have our own unique brand of magic, we merge the Dust permanently with our selves and forever have access to the brand of magic, we don't have to use dust just our aura.

Now if that isn't easy magic I don't know what is. Well that's magic in simple terms. I'm not really an expert by any means but for those of you just starting to understand the depth of the world around you…I think I did pretty well."

Took me a long time to find the right baritone voice for John, then I re-watched full metal alchemist and heard Edwards dad speak and couldn't help but picture John. Let me know what you guys think.
