Mage
Chapter One
Mage

I didn't want it to happen. I wanted peace. I didn't want to start a war. But I was too late to do anything. It started on a regular Monday. The regular plan. Ya' know, school, lunch, TV, all going as planned. But at 8:30, I figured out what I had to do. "Hey, mom?" I asked. "Yeah?" She said. "I don't want to go to camp over the Summer." I said. I'd remembered the last camp. It was scary. I felt a force circling around me. "Well, son, where will you go? You know I'm very busy." She said. "What about dad?" I asked. "You know he's gone." She said sadly. "But, last time I couldn't sleep. I swear I felt magic swirli---" I was innturupted. "There is no such thing as magic." She said soothingly. But then I felt it. The magic. Right above me. "Son, I'll tell you. Your old enough." She said over the sound of the magic swirling around us like wind. "You are a mage. A magician. You are...special." Out of no where, shadows appeared and the magic stopped. A wand, a staff, a book. I needed one of those. I had nothing. War without a weapon. I was doomed.
