Chapter I: The Mage Test
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up one morning to the sound of my mother calling my name out. "Dame
Dame!" She called. That was my name. Pretty strange I guess, but not many people in
Rune Midgard had a normal name. I fell out of bed ever so sluggishly and dragged
myself to the bathroom. I combed my hair a bit so it didn't scare people, and threw
on some loose fitting clothes. As I walked out to the kitchen, my mom threw a book
at me, grabbed me by my neck and literally booted me out the door.
"What gives?" I asked.
"School! Go GO!" She answered.
"...Huh?"
"You've been studying at the Geffen Library for so long, todays the day you can learn
to become a mage, stupid!" She taunted.
"Oh yeah...well better get going then. See ya later."
Forcing a kiss goodbye, my mom pushed me out the door. Noticing the lock of brown hair in my face,
I frantically tried to fix my hair, yelling "You musked my gorgeous locks!" As loud as I could. Grabbing
my pack of small assorted items, I started to walk down the pearly white streets of Geffen. Geffen was a circular
town, best known for the various types of magic that were crafted within its walls. In the center of town was a
huge tower. At the top of the tower, strong mages could become wizards, and at within its basement...many dangerous
monsters lived. Within Geffen was also a Forgery, where merchants became black smiths.
Ignoring all this, I continued to walk along. The streets were busy as usual. Merchants showing off the items
in their carts, Acolytes and Priests assisting people, and of course the Kapra girls. The Kapra girls were a group of
women who were stationed in every town of Rune Midgard to help the residents. They were all so cute...but of course,
I was just a little dude. They would never notice me. I sighed and scratched my head.
Making my way to the Mages Guild, I noticed a building with a Diamond on the top. I quirked a brow and walked inside.
It was a small structure, with another large diamond in the middle. I walked to the back, and saw a girl standing there smiling.
She was wearing pracically nothing. Basically, she had a small garment that covered her neck and shoulders, a bra, gloves
and a Loin Cloth.
"Why hello, there. How may I help you?" Asked the girl.
"Err...I want to become...a mage" I stuttered.
"Hmm...Dame, thats who you are right? You're scheduled to take the mage test 5 minutes ago! You're late Mister!"
"Err...I'm sorry." I replied.
"Aw! Its ok. Just be lucky I'm in a good mood. Ok, all ya gotta do is take this empty bottle..." She handed me a bottle.
"And...?"
"Create a 'Solution 3'. Using the information from that book case!" She pointed.
"Err...may I ask what the hell that has to do with being a mage?" I asked, aggrivated now.
"Uh... Don't ask me! I don't make the tests!" She frowned.
I glared at her and walked over to the book case. Pulling out a book with the words "Solution 3" on it. After reading,
It told me I needed to mix some Jellopies, Fluffs and a Red Gemstone with a Morroc Potion. Blinking a few times I walked
back over to the girl and glared.
"I'll ask again, what the HELL does this have to do with mages?! And where the hell is Morroc?!"
"Err...I'm sorry...but its the rule..." She sighed.
I sighed and put the book away. Walking out of the building, Walking around, I tried to ask for directions to Morroc.
I was completely ignored. Running around, I followed a group of swordsman into the Geffen Tower.I chased them as they entered
the basement, but they still insisted I wasn't important enough to answer. After running at full speed, I managed to knock
right into a Blonde Haired Swordsman. I fell back and grunted, but the swordsman kindly helped me up.
"Hey there, whatcha doing down here? Its not safe for you." He said, smiling.
"Sorry...I'm trying to find Morroc, and no one will help me." I explained.
"Ah, I gotcha. I'll help you. Whats your name kid?" He asked.
"Dame..."
"Cool, I'm Cloud. C'mon, lets see if we can get to Morroc. Why do you need to go?"
"Mage test." I Replied.
"Haha...Yeah that test sucks, I hear." He laughed.
Cloud wore clunky, cheap armor and a small helmet on his head. His clothes looked heavily padded, with thick
boots and gloves. His hair was short, like mine, and he was a bit taller then Me. Following him out of the tower, we walked
to the center of town. I saw him walk around asking for a Warp Portal to Morroc. I saw an Acolyte stand up, and a large
white pillar appear infront of Cloud. He smirked and waved me over. I approached and he shoved me in. There was a brilliant
flash of light and I appeared in a dusty city surrounded by rock paved floors, adobe houses, and cacti. It was a large
desert! Beginning to sweat, I saw Cloud appear next to me.
"Whoo! Don't let the heat kill ya, little buddy." He smirked, and smacked me on the back.
We started walking to the north. I noticed large Pyramids in the distance. Cloud laughed and told me to try not
to get too overwhelmed. I nodded and continued. We approached a small spring. Cloud asked for my empty bottle, and dipped
it into the spring. It filled with a lime green water. Cloud smiled and tossed me a purple insect wing. He told me if I
waved it in the air, it would take me to Geffen. Oddly enough, it worked!
As we re-entered the Mages Guild, Cloud walked up the mixing machine, and put in all the different components needed
to make the solution. After a few minutes, the potion was done and I approached the girl. She smiled, and tossed me a Robe,
a wand, and a spellbook.
"Congratulations! You are a mage!" She said.
"...Yeah yeah. Finally."
Using their changing room, I took off my old clothes, and put on the robe they gave me. Long and flowing, it covered
my entire body from neck to toes. I walked out, and showed off to everyone. Cloud laughed and patted me on the back again.
Reaching in his bag, he pulled out an egg-shell and slammed it down on my head. It fit snuggly, like a helmet. He told me
it was a gift and I could keep it. He also gave me some money to buy myself a wand.
"Good luck Dame! Until we meet again, my new friend!" He waved and returned to the Geffen Dungeon.
"Aww! How cute! You look so great in your new clothes!" Said the mage girl.
"I still don't see what potions have to do with magic." I said.
She sighed.
