Tawanos: Hey, OW, Astronmir quit throwing things at me will u? Look you have two choices I can update quickly and have a broken schedule and shorter chapters or you can be a little patient and let me update at my own time with nice full chapters. I really like writing and I will continue to but if you keep bugging me to do everything faster then the story will end bad, I've seen it happen before.
Disclaimer: Nope, no, not that, or that, don't own Zoids either.
Chapter 6- Magic and Moving
It appeared to be almost noon as Bit walked over to the front of the Chariot where Leon and Doc were waiting for him.
"I've been meaning to ask, how are we supposed to get this thing to move if we have no horses?" In response Leon put his hand on the front of the Chariot and said something in Latin. His hand began to glow even after he had stopped speaking and removed his hand from the Chariot. He walked over and lightly patted Bit on the shoulder, in an instant the glow left Leon's hand and jumped to Bit's shoulder where it disappeared.
"It's a form of the tether spell (A/N: the tether spell is used to tie things up or together in a magical rope) when activated and tethered the Chariot will follow who or whatever it is tied to at a distance of about 20 feet." Leon explained. "At this moment it is tied to you so we can get it over to the Champ Caravan, where I will transfer the tether from you to the last of their carts." Bit shrugged and started to walk, with Liger by his side, in the direction of the Champ Caravan, after a moment the Chariot began to role following him. Doc and Leon walked next to him.
"So, are you a magic user?" Bit asked Leon.
"The spell for the Chariot was already in place, all I had to do was activate it. But yes I was born with moderate fire and earth magic. How about you? Can you do any magic?" Bit stuck his left arm out in front of himself palm facing away from him.
"You mean like this?" A small flame like that of a candle appeared in the air above his pointer finger, a small orb of lightning appeared over his index finger, and a small whirlwind over his ring finger. They stayed for a moment before Bit waved his hand and they disappeared.
"Yea…something like that. And if you have those three then you must also have their partners, earth, plant, and water." Leon said in amazement, it was rare to find someone with multiple magics, let alone summon them at will.
(A/N: in this world magic works in pairs, one that can be manifest on it's own, like Bit showed, and another that requires something to work through. The most common pairs are Fire/Earth, Lightning/Plant, Wind/Water, Telekinesis/Telepathy, Healing/Scrying, if I think of any others I will tell you. Also a person that is born with magic is also born with a block against using it that can only be taken down by another magic user, or could be broken down by extreme emotion such as love, hate, sadness, joy, or fear. For example Leon's Fire/Earth magic when he got his first sword at the age of 10, he was so happy that he almost melted it in his hands, also the stronger the magic the stronger the barrier.
Magic can appear randomly in a family but is more often passed through the generations. The strength of ones mind, imagination, and will are what determine the strength of one's magic. Strength of mind, intelligence as well as character, determines the kind and range of magics a person can use, imagination determines how the magic is used and in what form, and will is the power behind all magic. Because of this every person's magic is unique.)
"Your father never told me that you could use magic." Doc said indignantly.
"I couldn't, not until three weeks ago." Liger gently nuzzled Bit's side, but Bit would not cheer up.
"I see, the loss of your family was such a saddening time that it broke the barrier. But why didn't they use another Wizard or Sorcerer to break it?"
"The barrier was too strong." Bit refused to answer any questions or even talk as they walked on the Chariot in tow.
Soon they reached the Champ Caravan where they were finishing hooking up the horses to the carts.
"You're just in time for us to leave." Cornelius Champ said when he saw them. Leon disengaged the tether spell from Bit. Bit just turned and headed back to the Chariot and Liger followed as Leon explained to Cornelius what he wanted to do with the spell, Cornelius agreed and showed him the cart what would be going last so he could engage the spell again.
Bit walked right by Leena as though she wasn't there. Leena was about to say something, but she saw the look on Bit's face and thought better of it. Bit walked over to the stairs to the now dry roof and went up. Liger on the other hand remained on the bottom step, where he stood as a guard and would not let anyone interrupt Bit.
Leena understood, Bit's loss three weeks ago was enormous and the emotional wound would take time to heal. Liger was allowing him the privacy he needed. Soon Leon returned, he told Leena that Doc would be riding with Cornelius apparently discussing the map. He asked Leena where Bit was.
"He's on the roof, but I wouldn't disturb him." Leon headed for the stairs anyway.
"Why not? All I want to do is talk to him about his magic and…" It was at this point that Liger decided that he had gotten close enough and began to growl at him.
"Well that's one reason." Leena said sarcastically, but then completely serious. "He lost everything three weeks ago today." Leon nodded his understanding, he now realized why Bit had acted to sad earlier and respected his desire to be alone.
Suddenly the Chariot lurched into motion, the Caravan had begun its march.
Tawanos: A lot of stuff is going to happen very soon in the fic I'll need a few days to fine tune everything but be patient. Good things come to those who wait.
Astronmir: And bad things happen to those who stall. Get a move on you slacker.
