I raced out of the house yseult close beside me. Yseult wore a similar uniform to me however she was a member house of Malthor.So instead of wearing a cravat striped with white (like me), she wore a purple striped one; her cravat also bore the crest of her house which was a Pegasi on its hind legs, about to take flight. I was proud of yseult she was one of the most powerful mages at school but I hated that everyone always compared me to her it makes me look like I’m a third rate mage. While loathing and admiring yseult I remembered that I had forgotten my broom.
“Yseult waits for me, I need to fetch my broom” I blurted.
“No need,” she said smugly
She chucked me something, a broom it was a long broom in an adoring sky blue colour with an arrowhead-shaped tip the end of the broom is a pearly white colour. It was a replica of hers except for the fact that this broom was etched down with the same rune as my wand, lagaz. It was breathtaking but … my thoughts were cut short by Yseult making an abrupt coughing noise.
I looked at yseult she smirked “happy early birthday kris, I got you the same model as mine” she exclaimed “ man I was meant to give this to you at the end of the week but you know what I’m like, well what are you waiting for.
I blinked twice not because I was not expecting this. “Thanks, yseult, but I’m not the best at manoeuvring a broom and … doesn’t it take practice to get used to a broom”
“Ugh stop being a pus…uh just try it out kay,” yseult said her patience wearing thin.
I took a deep breath in and stepped over my broom. I looked at yseult who was staring at me encouragingly I started to focus channelling mana from my mana circuits into the broom. Around me, the wind started to swirl I closed my eyes and began to think of light and bubbly things. My forehead started to bead with sweat. I could feel my futile efforts starting to slowly sap away at my mana reserves. Suddenly my feet slowly started to leave the ground when I finally opened my eyes I was airborne. I looked around yseult was already gone. I knitted my eyebrows together and willed for the broom to move forward it made a quiet humming sound and then shot forward. It was exhilarating. It was swifter than I had ever travelled before, in little to no time I had caught up to her. She was standing on her broom her right foot on the arrowhead of the broom and her back leg leaning back on the body of the broom; her lilac hair swaying against the wind. She was looking forward into the distance then she suddenly whipped her head around probably have heard me coming. She let out a burst of soulful laughter, her eyes turning from visibly alert to shining in a million hues of brown. How could one be so diverse with there emotions.
“Why are you in such a rush” she question “just sit back and enjoy the ride”
“Just trying out this new broom” I replied.
“Oh enjoying the gift I got you” she jokingly said.
“Hmph yeah.. thank you” I muttered
Yseult looked at me she seemed taken aback by what I said, it’s not often I show any affection towards her. She smiled and we went started to travel in silence.
We started to approach the school, I could tell because the area was rich in external mana. There are two types of mana internal and external. Internal mana comes from our mana reserves and it travels through our body through our mana circuits. It’s like the cardiovascular system but instead of blood, mana is distributed. Internal mana can be used for acts like reinforcing your body while fighting, powering your broom, summoning familiars and most magics that don’t include elements. Internal mana is rarely used by mages because it strains the body and quickly depletes mana reserves. In some cases, it’s even looked down upon.
External mana is found in your surroundings and can also be extracted from plants and animals. It is used by mainly elemental mages its density varies from area to area. There are 5 types of (external) mana particles they include fire, earth, water, air and unspecialised. If one can learn to utilise unspecialised mana they most likely not be able to use the others however they can use any type of elemental magics that don’t fit into that category. That ability is fairly rare and is used by mages who specialise in healing type magic. I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly I felt a shiver down my spine, I realised that must have been the magical barriers.
We were here.
