Hello everyone! Got myself a Beta! So hopefulle everything is understanable. Thank you for reading don't forget to comment!
Tonwens magic intrigued Harry, the thought of summoning creatures and elements was amazing. Tonwen had laughed at Harry's excitement and had told him to get a master when they got back. He had asked her why not she could teach him but she'd just explained that she was needed on the battle field.
Callis also intrigued Harry, he could hit anything with his bow, he wasn't too excited about demonstrating his skills for Harry but when they had come across a score of hell hounds he had taken down almost half of them with his arrows. The hounds had not even come close enough to attack.
But Harry wasn't the only one fascinated. Tonwen wanted Harry to show his magic too. She said that the magic of the realm was much divided and not a lot of mages could do as much different magic as him.
After a week of travelling the city of Nature appeared before them, Harry gasped at the beauty. It seemed as if the city itself been grown instead of built. The walls looked like small mountains covered with thorn bushes and other deadly but beautiful plants. The watch towers looked like massive hollow trees. All in all, the city was indeed the city of Nature.
"Welcome to our humble home", Tonwen winked at Harry and Harry quickly closed his mouth as it had fallen open when the city came to view. The wolves seemed to get excited and ran before the army to the city.
"They have been away from their pack for a long time", Callis said in a stern voice.
"We all have", one of the elves added. The normally collected elves seemed to cheer up at the sight of the city. That's when it hit Harry that this was an army and this army was coming home after a battle. He wondered how big the army was when they had left the city. Had they lost many?
Harry looked down. He had escaped a war to find himself in a new one.
"So where would I find a master?" Harry asked as they passed through the city. They headed to the castle where Tonwen and Callis would report to the king.
"Well, the most of the retired heroes dwell in the woods. They only come out when the city is under attack or when they want a mission", Tonwen explained.
"If you want a master you need to find one", Callis said without taking his eyes of the castle.
"And get them to agree on training you", Tonwen smiled. Harry frowned. So finding a master is not going to be so easy after all. He looked towards the walls, beyond was the endless forest. Tonwen had told him that the land of Nature stretched as far as the forest, and there for the land of Nature was called The Endless Forest.
He didn't know much about anything else though. He didn't know who the enemy was, what they stood for, or anything. He just dropped in and went with it. What the goblin had said about him being a fool made some sense now. Just because Tonwen and Callis was being nice to him didn't make them good. He needed more information.
"Hey Tonwen is there a library near?" He asked with a wary voice.
"Yeah there is one at the castle, why?" She asked.
"I think I need to read up a little about this realm and the magic that's in it", Harry explained.
"We will take you there on our way to see our lord", Callis muttered as the passed the gates to the enormous tree castle.
The library was as cool as the rest of the castle, bushes and trees twined together to make bookshelves, tables and chairs. The floor was covered in moss and flowers and the big window at the back let in rays of sunlight. The books were less impressive, they were moldy and damp from all the moist. But most of them were readable.
The realm was divided into six lands where the different kingdoms ruled. The Nature or Persever had the land of The Endless Forest. They dedicated themselves to Mother Nature, all their magic and abilities came from her. When they used summoning they asked Mother Nature to lend energy to create a being for a limited time.
In the north there was the land of Forever Snow where the Might or Stronghold lived. They didn't believe in magic and focused on raw power instead. Because of this strong faith to not believe in magic spells are not as effective on them.
In the south the people of Order or Academy lived in the land of Deserts. They based their belief on symmetry and balance. Magic and might in perfect harmony.
In the south east there was the land of Souls where the city of Death or Necropolies lay. The Death magic calls the dead and asks them to rise again but also to take lives. They have to give equally as many souls as they take back or they will be consumed by the very power they are wielding.
In the east you'll find the land on Fire where the city of Chaos or Asylum has its stronghold. They use much force in their spell casting and are not as tactical as the others but their special abilities make up for that. For example, they control the mightiest beast of all, the black dragon, which no magic can harm.
In the north east is the land of Season, the city of Life or Haven lays there. Their magic is healing and based on religion. They don't use much creatures much, just soldiers. They are the only ones who believe in a God.
After learning all of this Harry felt more comfortable, he did not feel as if the Persevers had any wrongs in their beliefs. He was certainly glad he had not ended up in the land of Forever Snow. But he still wanted to explore death magic, through for now he would stay in the land of Nature.
He rose from his chair and left the library, it was time to find a master.
