Chapter 3
One year later
Light and Alice had living with the two phoenix for just over a year. The two had learned magic from the Phoenixes. Light had learned darkness phoenix magic while Alice had learned light Phoenix magic. Both had discovered very soon after starting to learn magic that they possessed a natural talent for it. Both were the kind of talents that came around once in every few generations.
While both hadn't learned any of the Secret Arts, those spells were still too advanced and energy requiring for the two ten years old to learn to preform but they still had an arsenal of spells that couldn't inflict some real damage upon most humans, ever trained Mages or soldiers.
Light nearly spend all of his time training. He loved magic, he lived and breathed magic. His grasp of magical theory was incredible and he had already grasped much of the techniques required for the more advanced spells. This was both good and bad. The good being it permitted him to learn at an brilliant rate. The bad being he liked to try to create his own spells, most of the item this merely resulted in a puff of smoke and a rather tired Light.
Unfortunately there was a few times which Lights new spells were not quite as harmless. One of these accidentally obliterated the clearing where he had first met the phoenixes and had left him in such as bad way the for a time it was doubtful if he would live.
Alice on the other hand, balance her time in training and learning about the world. She learned that magic revolves the world they are now and what are the different types of magic. She also learned that mages were usually join a guild to have jobs and earn money.
She is not as strong as Light nor she's good in creating new spells but she's trying her best to catch up with him. She also learned martial arts so she can save her magic energy. She listen on whatever Star says to her and always put it in her mind. She once tried to create a new spell which result for her to drain her energy which is why she stop on creating new ones and stick on mastering the spells that her Phoenix taught her first and when she's strong enough she will try to create again.
The two young wizards, despite their weaknesses, were still very dangerous. The problem was, as neither had ever met other wizards, they had no idea the exact scale of their powers. Light specialised in offensive magic, dark magic was suited for this purpose. While Alice, being a light Mages, focus more on defensive and supportive magic although that was not to say she couldn't become aggressive when needed.
Training was hard, but if it wasn't then how could it be effective. The two phoenixes were hard task masters and worked their apprentices hard. Both apprentices worked hard and trained hard. Both learned a new spell every few weeks and usually had mastered the spells few weeks later.
It's around Fall when both Phoenixes realized that they already taught everything to Light and Alice. The two Phoenixes fly above from the two children who are currently busy training as they discussed them.
"The two were fast learner, especially Light. I was surprised that he can create new spells." Ra said as he watch the two children training.
"Indeed, Alice too. She managed to master the healing spell which really could drain her magic at first, but now she can heal herself and Light without a single sweat," Star reply as she watch happily the two.
Ra continue to stare on the two as his eyes narrowed and glance at Star.
"I think it's time for us to teach them the Secret arts of a Phoenix Slayer," Ra said with a serious tone.
Star turn her head and face Ra as she smile and nods.
"Yes, I think the two are ready," Star reply.
"We must be careful though. If we mess up during the teaching process" Ra said as he shuddered violently.
He dived suddenly racing towards the ground with great speed and landing before the two young Mages. Faced the two of them and looked down at them seriously.
"As you may both be aware" He began" myself and Star have taught you all but the Secret arts and while there are still fine tuning of basic skills you both have reached a degree of skill and power at which we believe you can handle the most powerful spells."
The two looked at each other, Light could barely conceal his grin. He knew that each phoenix possessed three secret art spells. Each more powerful than the one before. He also had geared mutterings of lost arts but he decided not to dwell on that and instead force upon the new spell which he was about to be learned, he hoped it would be offensively orientated and knew that it would be, or at least probably would be. After all, just about all of the dark magic spells were forced on fighting and inflicting damage.
Alice, on the other hand, was less overjoyed about the new spell. While she was certainly looking forward to learning one she was also aware that hers were never as flashy as Lights and that often left her disappointed when he got to vaporize stuff while all she got to do was fix it again. She didn't hate it, but, it doesn't mean that it didn't bother her at all. You can't say Light magic are weak, and she knows it too, but Light's magic are more stronger than hers.
She glance at Light who is still grinning. Then she felt someone lands in front of her, she doesn't need to look who it was as she knows that it was Star. The female Phoenix stare down to Alice. Even if it's just a year, she can tell what's on Alice mind. Star knows how Alice wants to learn spells almost like Light's and she has, but she's just making sure if Alice can take it.
"Alice," the gold Phoenix called the little girl's name in a gentle tone.
Alice looked up and saw Star smiling down at her. She just gave a quick smile then it turn into a frown. Star noticed it and bends down as she stare on Alice's eyes.
"I know what you're thinking and I know how to cheer you up," Star said as her smile widen.
Alice just look at her in confusion. Star didn't let Alice speak as she grab her and started to fly a little bit far away from Light and Ra. They will teach them separately as the spells are more powerful and it would be better that they won't be next to each other.
A/N: And that's Chapter 3. We're near making the two kids meet some Fairy Tail characters. And we're still in need of your help on the names and magic.
