The Magician School
Chapter 1: Meet Kai
Kai Cordatus was a very normal person, well, in his dreams maybe. Kai loved life, he was the top of his class, but wasn't a nerd. He had soft brown hair that he ran his hands through when he was nervous or excited. His eyes were a stony grey that twinkled when he was happy or… Well, to put it simply, Kai's eyes showed all of his emotions, his face could remain completely blank but his eyes could be twinkling merrily or drooping sadly.
Kai was 11 years old, he was around average height and not skinny nor fat. He seemed like an overall nice person except that when you actually looked deep into his eyes you could see a giant raging inferno inside his very soul, but this inferno was covered by a material so hard that it made steel look like water dripping through your hands.
This was mostly why people stayed away from him, the other reason was that strange things always seemed to happen to him. When Kai was 5 he had almost been run over but had suddenly known what to do and smashed his fist hard on the ground, crushing the car and a few of his knuckles. As well, just last year he was running away from some drunken teenagers with knives, he was wishing he was just somewhere safe and he suddenly found himself in his room at home. That's probably the reason why he was the top of his class, he had no friends so all he could do was study.
Now, Kai's home life was perfect, he had a little brother named Jaylen, their Mum and Dad were named Nicole and Graham and they were an average family, well, except for Kai. Sometimes when Kai would be in bed he would sort of feel a soft tingling in his heart and when he was angry you could sort of feel some sort of power radiating from him, like that inferno inside him had burst wide open. You couldn't see the power but you could just sort of feel it and it was quite scary.
When Kai got home from school, he once again sighed. He was tired of people staying away from him, well, at least then they couldn't try his temper and he wouldn't do his 'Power Out' as he had labelled it. His parents of course told him that he was just a bit different and a lot stronger than everyone else and Jaylen teased him but overall they helped only little.
Kai quickly put away his bag and logged onto his favourite chat room and sure enough she was there. His only friend who actually understood him. Her name was Ember Ashes but online she called herself 'Nynon' and he called himself 'Bluegen'. She seemed to understand all that happened to him and some of the things that happened to him and some of those things happened to her as well, like the reappearing thing when she was scared.
She was the only person who didn't avoid him and only she seemed to be able to calm him down. They were very close friends and wanted to meet but she lived in Scotland and he lived in a little town called Castleford that was in England. For some reason she called every one who didn't do things like them 'Nyons'
Bluegen: Hi, Ny!
Nynon: Hey, blue
Bluegen: Howz ya 2day?
Nynon: Fine, u?
Bluegen: Fine
Nynon: So, what u wanna talk 'bout
Bluegen: Dunno, just tired of people at school avoiding me
Nynon: Don't worry, it'll be coming soon
Bluegen: Huh?
Nynon: Oh, never mind
Bluegen: Wotever
Kai really was curious but he hid it, which was quite easy as she couldn't see his eyes, like normal his face was blank of emotion. After five minutes of normal talking she had to log off leaving Kai the rest of the day to wonder about what she said. 'Don't worry, it'll be coming soon', what did that mean? Kai would be finding out the next week, and it would change his life forever.
Chapter 2: The PackageAbout a week later, Kai did find out what she meant. As usual, Kai had a lay in as it was a Saturday. He was the first one in the family that awoke that day and so, he started washing his face but left his hair in its messed up state. Kai walked downstairs to get the post and suddenly noticed that there was a package for him.
He took at carefully and felt it, it felt quite heavy and was wrapped in a strange lime green wrapping paper. And so he carried it upstairs and quickly walked into his room and put the package on his bed. He carefully unwrapped the green paper so he could use it later if he wanted and gasped at what he saw.
It was a pale grey laptop and had old-fashioned curls on the corners that suited it perfectly, the curls looked old but the laptop looked brand new. Kai checked inside and around the paper that wrapped the laptop but there was neither note nor a letter.
'Well, maybe whoever sent me this left a note on the laptop.' He thought.
Lifting the laptop up to check if there was anywhere to plug it in or any batteries, he couldn't see anything there except the CD and floppy drives. Why would anyone make a computer that doesn't work? Unless it runs on something that you can't see! His mind shot back.
Kai lifted up the 'lid' of the laptop and ran his fingers across the keyboard; all of the keys were completely silent. Tapping experimentally on the power button he jumped back in surprise as it booted up silently. His own computer took a while to boot up and when it did it did it quite loudly yet this quickly and silently booted up.
As the screen loaded it showed a picture of a giant castle and the cursor was that of a long stick of wood. The icons then loaded up and Kai saw all of the normal ones: My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer, Librar…. Wait a second? Library? Well, it's a mysterious laptop, why not a mysterious icon? Just a few seconds later Kai noticed a small notepad icon in the bottom-left corner: Info.txt
