Witch of Dishonour 2: Lance

I sit down on an old tree stump, I passed three villages that were not attacked and put up barriers. I got extremly bored so I played a bit with my magic.

I sigh, my magic never run out nor did it now. That is more than weird considering how much magic I used while I played with it and put up barriers, I have the feeling that Gisela knows but she told me I would understand myself when the time comes.

I sigh and sit up throwing my thoughts aside, I walk to the end of the forest and stop upon seeing a small town on fire. I click my tongue and run there. An Aguni demon floats in the towncenter and I release a rain spell on the town. Aguni doesn't seem to like that and breathes fire at me, I turn my ice magic into a bow and fire it while I run.

It dodges and attackes me with its flame hand. I stop and jump into the air, I narrowly avoid the attack and immidantly leap on top of his arm, I create Ice under me to avoid damage through the fire Agunis body produces. I run up the arm and sent a wall of water into its face. It responds with breathing fire at me again. It hits my right arm and I grasp it in pain, trying to let the pain vanish.

It roars and charges again, but this time at a person from town who fell and seemingly broke her leg. The ladys eyes widen and she covers her face in an attempt to protect herself. I use a sword of lava because my Ice sword would meld. I try to heal her by will and it looks like it works. The woman stands up.

„Run!" I command and she flees.

I push Agunis arm away and summon another wall of water that hits his whole body this time. It roars and disappears into ashes. I look up at the sky, my rain spell finally begins to work and the rain destroys the flames that haunt the small town. I smile and leave town.

„How cute" a hand pats my arm, I freeze it „Ouch! What was that for?!" the person withdraws his hand.

I look at him, a brown-haired boy around sixteen years old „Do you want something?"

He has sparkles in his eyes „Be my teacher!" he lift a fist into the air.

I look at him with a deadpan expression „No"

„Why not?!"

„Because I cannot teach anyone, I also have no time. Besides, you should not learn my arts and live a normal life instead" I leave but the boy follows „Go back" I order him.

He shakes his head „No! I want to become strong!" he shouts determinded.

I sigh and move forward until we reach a small cliff. „So you want to become a wizard?"

„Yes!"

„I can't teach you everything but at least a bit. Look closely" I hold out my palm and summon a water ball inside it „Since there is water behind the cliff, you will need nothing to channel the magic through. I don't know how much potential you have but we can find out. Water magic is one of the easiest. Concentrate everything you have on the water appearing in your hand" I instruct him.

He tries it but he only manages a few bubbles in his hands.

„Not the best, you need a bit of training then it should work" I close one of my eyes and smile.

„Okay!" he cheers.

„But not now. We will train a bit later in a small cove" I tell him and he loses a bit of his mood but agrees neverless „What's your name? I'm Id-... Infinity"

„I'm Lance" he answeres.

„So it is Lance, right? Let us search for some cove or other means where we can sleep during the night" I command and go ahead, Lance follows me with a smile the whole way.

We walk around for a bit until I find a small cove. I tell Lance to search for wood and turn to a lone stone that rests in the cove. I concentrade and will it to merge with the wall. I smile and form a dent into the wall that looks like two beds in the end. I ponder for a bit and go outside. I collect fallen leaves and merge them together. When I return to the cove, Lance already sits there and looks at the two beds.

He notices me „Did you do that?"

I nod „Yes, I did. Come, I will teach you a fire spell"

„Okay!" he walks up to me.

I take one stick out and let it burn „Use the fire on this stick to create one yourself. No chant or similiar is required since it's a basic spell. Now concentrade on making a fire"

„Yes!" he closes his eyes thight.

After a while he manages to let the fire burn without problems. He seemed really proud when I praised him. Seeing him like this gives me a weird feeling... It feels like I forgot something really important.

The night passed by normally and I wake Lance up. He yawns and mumbles, not willing to wake up. I shake him one more time before I give an annoyed sigh and use a water spell.

He jerks up at the feel of cold water and looks around confused „What was that?"

I sigh once more „A water spell. You wouldn't wake up"

He nods in understanding and asks if there's anything to do. I reply that we will go to the next village to set up a barrier and then look for a spacious place in a forest. With this we start to go towards our destination and arrive there safely. I converse with one of the villagers while I let Lance fetch food and other necessitys. There's a forest near here with a really big clearing. I thank him and join Lance. We go to the forest together. It's healthy and doesn't look like demons invaded here.

„Get behind me" I warn Lance.

He nods and goes behind me. I kneel on the ground and put my hands on the earth. Lance watches fascinated as a huge castle builts itself in front of us.

He looks truly amazed „Is this part of your magic, too?! Amazing!"

I chuckle „It is. I'm not sure though if you can learn something like that. I only tried this out just now, I never imagined it would work..."

„It's really large!" he shouts excited.

I nod „Well, I want to test something"

He looks over to me „And what?"

„Summoning elementals. Of course others, too" I place my hands on my hips.
