Summary/Plot:
Magic AU: In a time where magic is all over the living, magicians reigned supreme, and guilds spread throughout the country. The country's King has decided that Magicians will be allowed to live and to train other. That's why he appointed the Olympian Courts of Magic to train magicians in the skill they are destined to have. Magic is divided into six courts: Water, Air, Darkness, Light, Earth, and Fire. But other branches of magic have been introduced such as Time, Ice, Shadow and many more. The country stayed peaceful with the Magicians at their sides. The Olympian Court then decided to divide the courts into Guilds. Water, led by Poseidon, named his guild: Rulers of the Sea. Air, led by Zeus, named his guild: Imperators of the Heavens. Darkness, led by Hades, named his guild: Shades of Darkness. Light, led by Helios, named his guild: The Society of Light. Earth, led by Demeter, named her guild: Monarchs of the Earth. And Fire, led by Hephaestus, named his guild: Council of the Phoenix. And their was peace in the world. Until a bunch of misfts, led by Perseus Jackson better known as Percy Jackson, started to cause some commotion in the city. Magicians ignore for it was a minor threat to them, but they soon learned that these misfits are untrained magicians. So, the courts send out their agents to retrieve these untrained magicians. However, the agents returned in failure. The Courts then decreed to their respective guilds that they should be on the look out for these misfits. In answer to the call, the guilds send out the best agents they can offer to the Courts to catch these misfits. Will the hunt be successful? or Will something chaotic distrupt their city of peace?
Endurance of a Magician in Love
Can you handle it?
2. Questionable Faith
/At the Same Time. The Shades of Darkness Guild\
"Again! Summon your claws again!" commanded the Olive-skinned Magician in Dark Gray robes to another Magician in a Dark Gray hood and cape robe
Nico Di Angelo, most powerful of the Shades of Darkness and their leader, was training Viper Fullbuster, second-in-command and second most powerful Magician of the Shades. Viper did as his boss told him and summoned dark claws from the ground and tried to swat his leader out of his place, but Nico was protected by the same claws. The sets of claws were now fighting for dominance on who was the strongest among the both of them. Nico's hands were crossed but his eyes were purple rather than the brown eyes he originally has. One of Viper's hands was surrounded by a dark purple aura, his other hand was slowly surrounded by the same aura. After a few minutes and Nico's claws won against Viper's. The claws then disappeared and Nico's claws charged at Viper but he smirked and shot dark flames at the claws and they disappeared. He then focused and shot the same flames at Nico. The Shade King (A/N: Cheap pun for the "Ghost King" ahaha!) quickly raised the shadows and protected himself from the dark flames but the flames died quickly. Viper panted and also summoned the shadows. With the shadows, Viper summoned lances and shot them to Nico's shield. After a few shots, the leader's shield shattered but he was able to dodge the lances and he summoned a purple square beneath Viper's feet and instantly demonic lances come out on the four corners of the square. They impaled Viper and he immediately stopped his assault as he saw the Shade Prince go to his knees and turn into ashes. Nico sighs and looks in the other direction
"You can come out now Viper. I win. Again" echoed the leader to the arena
"Damn it! Are you cheating or something? You're getting unbeatable" echoed the arena. Nico went to the area that was carpeted, which was out of the boundaries of the arena. The entire arena turned dark and Viper comes out of the shadows "Is there nothing in Master Arcannis's teachings that I missed?"
Arcannis, a name that Nico will never forget. He was the former Shade King before he transferred his title to Nico and went to the Order of the Dark
"Well, you're improving. I mean you summoned Dark Flames. That's a technique that even I haven't mastered it. Dark Pyromancers are very rare in the world. So, you kinda win" chuckled the Shade King but that chuckle died and his tone became more serious "But, overall, you're getting cocky. Even though you WERE a disciple of Arcannis, still your style in combat is lacking. But your magic is almost on par with me"
"Well, just almost" sighed the hooded figure "I just need to hit more on the books and testing out those skills myself"
"That's the spirit" chuckled the Shade King and he ruffled the boy's hair "Read, train, and come back. Knowledge of the Dark Arts is what you need to become stronger"
"Yes, sir Neeks" giggled the Shade Prince as he disappeared back into the arena and he never came out
Nico chuckled as he heard that nickname. He wasn't called like that in a long while, but he kinda hated and when people called him that. The name makes him lose authority over the Guild. He sighs and he started climbing the stairs. On his way to his room, he saw the other Shades and smiled. Bianca, third most powerful Shade, Shade Princess and his sister, was teaching the other Shades on how to summon the darkness around them. Lou Ellen, 4th most powerful Shade, was teaching some Shades on how to call on the shadows and not to be afraid of the shadows. Miranda Gardiner was their newest Shade, was smiling widely and she was listening to Bianca's teachings. Nico continued his journey to his room, but he passed the library first to check on the Shade Prince. The Shade King saw the Prince levitating with some books surrounding him but he sensed that Viper was getting tired from their fight, well his clone's fight but he manipulated the clone and channeled his Dark Flames to the clone. He was also getting tired from levitating and reading. He entered the library and knocked the room where Viper was
"You know if you keep that up, you'll eventually tire yourself and you won't be able to beat anymore" chuckled the King to the Prince
"Well" panted the Prince and sweat was forming out through his eyebrow "If I am gonna beat you, I have to beat my limits, overcome them and become-"
Nico sighed as he caught Viper before he fell to the floor. Viper fainted due to the exhaustion of the fight, levitating himself, grabbing 21 books, and trying to process them all in one shot. He carried Viper, bridal style, to his room. As soon as he reached the Prince's door, he used his magic to open the door, levitate Viper to his bed, and gently drop him to the soft surface. As soon as Viper made impact to the bed he smiled and curled up. Nico smiled at the sight and gently closed the door. When he reached his room, he saw a black figurine on his lamp stand. He approached slowly and saw the figurine was a mini dog with three heads, Cerberus, mythological being of darkness (A/N: Don't judge me). He knew that Hades was summoning him, he sighed, wrote a note and sent it to the shadows. He looked around his room, then he looked at himself before get out of the guild. He started summoning the shadows "Well, I wonder what in the name of the Underworld does he want now?" mumbled the Shade King before disappearing in the shadows he just summoned
Author's Note: Alright, that'll be all this week. I've got Student Teacher week and I've been chosen to teach a bunch of 10th and 5th graders. But I'll be doing that for the entire week, meaning less time to continue this, but don't worry. As soon as the next weekend hits, the last 3 chapters will be out. Review, Fave and Follow! Plus, tomorrow is the last day for voting on the star couple for the third story! So, vote vote vote! You can find the poll on my profile. Anyway, see you guys on the next parts! Oh and Wizard's Chess from the first part of this chapter. Here's the meaning (in-case you were to lazy to google it.) The enchanted variant of the classic board game in which the pieces move of their own accord when commanded by the player. When a piece is taken, it is removed by the attacking piece, often in a barbaric manner where the losing piece is smashed violently by the winning piece (Source: Harry Potter Wiki. Thanks btw!). So with that I bid you all, Ciao!
