Arthur's day started like any other normal day. His traveling companion, Dacian, always woke him up the same way without fail everyday. Sometimes, Arthur wished for Dacian not to wake him up.
"Come on, Arthur! Come on! It's time for you to wake up!" came Dacian's voice. Arthur blearily blinked his green eyes open.
"I'm up. I'm up. Please, get off," Arthur said, trying to push the rather excited strawberry-blonde off of his bed. Dacian smiled at him, showing off his white teeth and the two fang like teeth he possessed.
"Good. Lukas's making breakfast," Dacian said, getting off of Arthur's bed and disappearing out of his room. Arthur groaned and got out of his bed. He walked over to the window and stared outside at the street below. People were bustling about, doing their daily morning activities, as always.
They'd been in this town a couple months, stuck because of the winter. Arthur hated winter. It was too bloody cold for his tastes. He closed the window shades and got changed into clothes appropriate for traveling. He headed down the stairs to the kitchen, where he found Dacian sitting at the table reading a book and Lukas cooking.
"Good morning," he said, sitting down next to Dacian.
"Morning," Lukas replied, putting the eggs he was cooking onto the three plates. He sat down and began eating his eggs. Arthur began to eat his eggs as Dacian put his book down.
"Well, are we leaving before or after midday?" the red-eyed mage asked them as he too began to eat his eggs.
"Preferably before midday. We should be able to reach the next town by sundown if we leave in the next hour or so," Lukas said. Arthur and Dacian nodded their heads.
After they had finished their breakfast, the trio began their last preparations before their departure. Dacian was using his magic to fit all of their spell books into one bag without ruining any of the books, Arthur was cleaning the house one last time and checking to make sure they didn't leave anything anywhere, and Lukas was conversing with his magical friends about the quickest route to get to the next town over and had a map open on the table.
Yes, the three of them were mages. They were well known for being exceptional mages. Arthur used a mixture of black and white magic, Dacian used black magic, and Lukas used elemental magic. All three of them could see and talk to spirits, even those that weren't welcomed into the human world.
Lukas and Dacian had known each other since they were young, and the two of them had met Arthur when passing through his hometown. The three had them had become a trio after that and set out to find 'The Wanderer.'
They had already spent a year looking for 'The Wanderer.' All three of them wanted to become stronger, and, with Lukas's pushing, they decided to look for 'The Wanderer.' Arthur was still unsure, for he didn't know if 'The Wanderer' even existed. Lukas believed that 'The Wanderer' existed, for it was a family tradition for the eldest male mage to search for 'The Wanderer.' Dacian had his own reasons for searching, and that was all he would tell Lukas and Arthur.
After the three of them were ready to go, they left the house and set out on their journey.
Here's chapter one! It's not the long, but it's a great opening to this series!
I'm going to try to update this every Thursday. At least, I hope that I do.
