A History of
Magus,

Chapter Two: Final Exam 1 the sword
(OOC note some things. Things that I made up that the characters a supposed to know will be listed here. There are two here. One there are three types of Zeal citizens 1. Zealieans are full magic wizards capable of casting great spells and levitating but can't do heavy physical activities. 65% of zeal citizens are of this type and are the ruling class. 2. Zealots have magically enhanced Strength and all the things that come with it but none of the abilities that Zealieans have. 37% of zeal citizens are zealots and they are considered dumber then other zeal citizens 3. Zealits. Every generation a rare group of children are born with the best of both worlds strong and gifted in magic only 7% of the zeal citizens are them.
Something else to note is that they age quickly but live long (age 3 start 1 first grade age ten start college age 16 graduate 20 end training start career. )
Note that from now on most of the story is told though Magus and so "I walked with" means Magus walked with however we will sometimes move between the two to explain something happening at the north cape changes will be noted like this
************************************************************** *************************
I suppose that the best place to begin would be here, I had just turned 3 and Schala was 10 and we walking away from one of the last few days of remedial learning and school respectively. We were walking down a hall in Enhasa when we started talking.
I asked, "So, did you get the seats yet?"
"Seats? What seats are you referring too?" she responded.
"You don't know? The end year tournament for all the grads of course! You haven't bought those tickets yet!?! It must be Sold out by now...."
She stopped me "Calm down. We're going there but....I don't have tickets yet because they aren't giving them out till tomorrow...for competitors"
I stopped in my tracks and stood there for a minute until I said "What? But a girl hasn't competed in decades.....and even then they didn't do any good lasting 3 rounds at most."
Even utopias have problems. Females and Zealots were considered 2nd class citizens with some what (some what) good reason be it right or wrong. With the magic increase came Intelligence and wisdom with it a meaning a physically larger brain capacity. As for females they in Zealot for are ALWAYS weaker the males and mostly weaker in magic then they're male counterparts on Zealiean side. Along with that only 7 of the known 1000 Zealites in history were women, one was my mother Zeal. Any real differences were minor ones but then again Zeal citizens always have been perfectionists. But all that changed with her.
"It's shocking to think these days that in such a well known tournament a girl, even in the royal family, wants to compete so why?" I asked after I calmed down
She replied after thinking it though for a minute "I dunno I just sort of feel like its something I need to do. I mean I know I'm just as strong as them. Besides you know me I always would rather try and fail then never try. ;) hehe"
"Okay so I'm convinced............now what?" I asked.
"Well besides you the only people who will know till tomorrow when they hand out tickets are the school, mom and dad, and the guru's. After I told them Melchier asked me to meet him after school today so can we go there?"
I gave a nod and we ran out to the out side. Zeal's flying continent looked even more beautiful than normal in the afternoon sun. The airport to the west and the sun palace south of it a modern marvel of science. In contrast in the east the great Zeal Lake where most of the Zeal citizen's water comes from and the waterfall ever flowing into and off the continent from a spell. And on top of the mountainside was the jewel of the world, Zeal Palace.
After reaching the palace and going to Melchier's study we found him looking at a silver sword.
"Hello, Melchier?" she said.
He turned around and said "Oh hello I'm glad you could come today, I have something for you to use in the tournament to help you out in the physical part of it." He pulled the sword from the shelf and showed it to us. "This sword is very rare, made from dreamstone. I made it myself in a deal with the kingdom where I was given the job to regulate the use of the stone as a new power source by helping Gasper's Tab project and Belthasar's time machine. I got some extra free dreamstone to mess with and I made this and one other weapon. It will channel the MP in one's own body and flow into the sword though veins spreading throughout the blade.
Melchier handed her the sword. "Just open up your energies and let it flow into the sword and it will show its true power to you." Schala looked at the silver sword in had a nice handle but the blade was quite plain and not like Melchier's other work which were for function and show. She held the sword out with the tip up and closed her eyes and focused. After about a minute the sword began to get a red aura around it as two wide crooked bars of red rose from the hilt like slow thunderbolts. The aura grew until we were all blinded by it. When we all regained sight we saw the marvelous result, a beautiful sword with a red tint and light red glow.
"Incredible this sword almost feels alive but besides that......it feels powerful. I can tell just be looking at it. Dose it have a name?", Said Schala.
"You should name it, after all it's yours." ,he requested.
"Give it a name that the zeal people will remember for years!" I recommended.
I don't know Ill think about it on the way to our room Janus. Sorry Melchier but its time for bed and we really should go.
Then when we went to our rooms after a quick meeting with mom and dad about the sword she looked at me until she finally said," I'll name it.....the Radical Dreamer."
(ooc note so there you have it chapter two its not as good as chapter one I think but i'm just setting up the storyline for the next 2 or 3 chapters until the storyline gets more Cannon. As usual R&R.)
