The earthly mud rises up out of the swampy water, dripping spills of muck back against where it came from. The lumpy brown mush, hovering over the lake, starts forming into different shapes; first a circle, then a square, after, a triangle. The random shapes were just practice; to see if there was enough power and focus to make them precise. The clump of mud was perfectly held in the air, and soon moved around. That was a mistake; as soon as the piece of earth moved, it fell back into the water, splashing the apprentice's face.
The boy sighed as he walked out of the swampy earth. His bare feet were embedded into the earth and it took a lot of force, and strength, in the legs to pull them out of the mud. He slowly made his way to the hard earth and noticed his mentor sitting by the willow tree, reading one of his old books written by an ancient master.
He looked away, not wanting to have his mentor see the failure on his face. The boy moved over to his stuff and picked them up as quietly and quickly as he could. Once he had his stuff, he started walking toward his old, nearly abandoned village that was home to him. "Daniel." He jumped and sighed. Daniel turned to face his mentor and saw the young British man's serious face. "You failed to move the mass of Earth again." His head fell. His mentor, who goes by the name Arthur Kirkland, smiled and patted his shoulder. "It's okay," his student looked up at him again, "you'll get it soon enough."
The boy smiled. "I hope so." Arthur nodded and Daniel started running home. He stopped and turned to wave good-bye. "See you tomorrow Arthur!"
The man smiled and waved back. At the age of fifteen he can do so much, Arthur turned to retrieve his own stuff and go into the forest, where his home lies and his sister waits, and he chooses to be a mage to control the elements. He chuckled to himself and headed off home. "Children these days, they're full of wonder and mysteries."
