Prologue
It was months after the fight with Sen Eva and a slaar on top of the highest hidden tower. Jakl became an official kingdom dragon and Meg were left with the responsibility of taking care of her dragon and keeping him in line from eating anything in the farm or village other than some large fish and occasional sheep or goat or even stray wild animals.
Calen never been so happy when he got an unlimited access to his master's vast library. Who knows what can he learn from them. Despite being a royal order, he was still supervised whenever he go to read a book to Calen's displeasure.
He trained harder and more determined than ever. His master knows how to encourage him via threatening him from limiting the number of topics he could freely browse from without any long lecture about do's and don'ts to read.
His 'spark' grew, from unintentional slip of tongue from Serek, and his lessons became wider and broader scale. Of course his memorizing names and date were more tedious than ever, but he could handle it if it means to please his master and allow him to learn new spells and skills needed to become a true mage and receive his first true mark. But right now he have to focus and prove to Serek that he is and will receive that mark for the upcoming gathering of mages.
His lessons were focused not just on how to cast it but also what it is. Serek dwelled and explored Calen's unique ability to see the magic being cast. He knows what type of magic through the colors. For example, violet for motion, orange for neutralization, black of concealment, blue for soothing, yellow for light and fire, and so on. Calen describe in detail on what he sees and understand as his master cast a spell from simple to complex according to Serek's mood, it seems random to Calen but he could not shake the feeling that it has a pattern. They both wondered why he was the only one among the magic users to have this ability. Calen mostly dreamed, even hoped, to know why and how he came to his ability. Why was he so different from the others?
