Future Glimpse 1: Liam acquires magic


I pull up a stool, took a seat and look over at the title less book that was given to me with a little bit of anxiety. "Well alright then, lets see what this is about..." I mumbled, as I opened to the first page and scrolled across the characters on it with scrutiny. My eyebrows raised up with interest at the contents the book contains.

"Oh? This is about magic..." My eyes light up with sudden anticipation at the knowledge this book contains. "Perhaps this can help me learn more about my Magic." I stated, thinking about the unknown Magic I have when I first got my Falna.

I dive right back into the pages, and read out loud.

"There are two types of magic. Congenital magic depends on your race. And acquired magic is determined by a Falna, or the blessing from a god. The latter is, in a sense, a form of self-expression."

I felt like something in me is being pulled in. Strangely undeterred by this odd sensation, I continued to read.

"What interests you?"

"What do you love? Hate? Desire? Grieve...? Respect...?"

As I continued to read each word, I slowly start to feel a sudden drowsiness washing over me, my eyes struggling to keep open. Yet I felt compelled to continue.

"Where does...your devotion lie...?"

"The trigger...always manifest from...within..."

And as I uttered those last words, I find myself succumbing to the drowsiness. My mind and body falling to a deep sleep on the spot.


(? ? ?)

I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself a little dazed as I looked around my surroundings. Although something seems...odd. I can tell that I'm in a clearing in the forest somewhere at the dead of a moonlit night, however it's all blurry except for what's within a few of meters from me. I was sitting on a wooden log with a campfire burning in front of me. I can feel the flames warmth, along with the gentle breeze in the air, and the smell of nature tickling my nose. Trying to make sense of my situation. 'What's...going on...?'

Shall we get started then?

I blinked a little at the sudden familiar voice in my head as I looked in front of me. Something is sitting across from me in a relaxed manner. It looked like a short shadowy figure with a hood over its head along with a cloak covering their body. I can't make out this figures facial features with their hood shadowing it's face, although I can tell it was smiling at me. Not in a malicious way strangely enough, but in a rather confident and patient kind of smile. With a hint of smugness in it. 'When did he get there...? And that voice...why does it sound like mine...?' I couldn't help but take note of.

Despite my unusual circumstances, instead of asking this shadowy figure on where I'm at or what's going on, I just silently nodded to him to continue.

Then in a blink of an eye, I find myself in a different location and position. I find myself in a different forest clearing. Now standing in a big shallow pond, holding hands with a girl in a white dress. I was looking up at her, seeing that she is taller than me. Her facial features are blurry to me despite the close proximity between us, yet I can make out that she has long blue hair. 'Who is she...?' I asked myself.

What does the word magic mean to me?

It took just a couple of seconds before I find myself answering it. "A great and mystical power. A manifestation of infinite possibilities."

What does magic look like to me?

"Energy. One that's brimming with power. A power to grant me the strength to tip the scales in my favor."

And what is it you seek to become?

"Skilled and versatile. So that I can be ever closer to surpassing them."

Is that all?

Now I find myself floating in a black void. There was just nothingness all around me, however I have this distinct feeling I was back to back with that same shadowy figure despite not looking behind me.

I pondered his latest question with much more thought. "Well...I would like...to be the best that I can be."

Is that so?

"Yes. Whether or not I would become like a hero from the stories that I've read, a great adventurer or whatever is irrelevant to me. There is no fixed path to improve ones self. The possibilities...are just endless..."

Hmph, how childish.

The figures remark to my answer doesn't sound insulting or demeaning despite how negative it is. In fact, its more like of acceptance and knowing. Like he already knew how I would answer.

"Heh, yeah it is isn't it? But..."

"That's just who I am."

A bright light shines in the void. I find myself being blinded by it, feeling it wash over my entire being. Feeling my consciousness roused up, along with feeling something granted inside of me.


And that's the end of the preview.

As you can see, this preview is missing a bunch of details and its incomplete. Yet I've intentionally have left them out except for the little bits that I want to show. Plus this is suppose to be short, and quick. It will contain everything once the Chapter of this little preview is up in the future fully completed. I would like to know what you all think, so please leave a review down below.
