As Lucian was meditating he got this nausiating feeling, like he was going to vomit his lungs out. Trying to catch a breath and unable to withstand the pain he blacked out. After whole 2 days he woke up feeling mana surging through his body.

"I did it!" He said outloud.

"Usually it awakens at the age of 18 but I did it in 7." He pushed out a bit of mana to see its elemental nature, and it felt like Light Magic, but it was not quite it. It felt weaker and it was not the bright yellow colour Light Magic usually radiates. It was more like Moonlight.

"But why?" Lucian said frustrated. But that was not the most important thing that was worrying him. Now that he awakened his magic he wanted to join the Adventurer Alliance so he can go search for his Soul Weapon. But how would he say that to Alicia. There was no easy way to do it so he just said it.

"Alicia I am going to join the Adventu-"

"I know" Alicia cut him off.

"I know, and I do not have the strenght to stop you, just please be safe.." 

"I-" A tear slowly going down her face that seemed like it aged significantly over the past 7 years.

"I cannot lose you aswell" Lucian jumped to Alicia and hugged her as hard as he could.

At one point in the past 7 years Lucian told Alicia who he really was and how he got here. Alicia promised she would keep his secret. And so after a long lasting hug, Lucian was on his way to the middle of the Kingdom, where the Adventurer Alliance tryouts were held. They were held every Summer and only top 10 participants got their Adventurer license. He packed alot of food and water because the journey would be long. Determination was written all over his face but a couple of kilometres in it was wiped off. He was drenched in sweat and the Summer weather was killing him. His over exaggerated breaths were interupted by cries of a little girl. Instinctively he followed the sound that lead him to a girl around the same age as Lucian. 

"What is wrong?" Lucian asked the crying girl.

The girl looked at Lucian and that is when he noticed, she was not a human. She was an elf, more specifically a snow elf. He was taken off guard because this was his first time seeing an elf.

"I was on my way to the Adventurer Alliance tryouts with my parents, but a group of bandits attacked us is a nearby forest. I ran away but my parents were killed by the bandits. I ran out of food last night and this is all the water I have left" She lifted up a clear bottle that had enough water for a small gulp.

"I am sure you did everything you could. Good job for survivng this long. Actually I am on my way to the tryouts aswell. Do you want to come along?"

She was wiping off her tears and said

"Okay" With a faint smile, that kind off looked forced. Well what do you expect her parents were just murdered.

Lucian took out a battle of water and told her.

"Here I have some water, knock yourself out." Without hesitation the elf girl took the bottle and started gulping down the water. Lucian stopped her midway scared she was going to drink all of his supllies.

"Easy now. We still have a long way to go" He said putting on a smile that almost reached his eyes.

"I am Lucian. What are you called?" Lucian asked curiosly.

"I am Luna"

"What a nice name." Lucian said trying to cheer up the elf.

"There she is!" A scream in the distance could be heard.

"That elf brat is there!" The screams became more clear and even louder.

"Running is useless." Lucian said turning to Luna. Luna was crying in horror.

"No need to worry I will protect you!" Lucian said, which made him embarrassed thinking he sounded like a typical superhero from a comic.

"I will kil-" He was cut short by the evil feeling just at the thought of killing them.

"I am not scared, it is just that, those are-" Her eyes practically bulging out.

Lucian looked at the bandits and the sight he saw was traumatizing. It was 2 freshly decapitated heads of Snow Elfs. The blood still spilling from where their necks used to be attached. Their eyes no longer there and their tounges cut off unevenly. The bandits were rushing towards Lucian and Luna, but Lucian did not care at that point. He let the nasty feeling take over him, for the first time in his life he was so enraged that he was going to kill mercilessly. 

The nasty feeling yet again felt like it was smiling, but this time it was like it talked.

"Kill them all." it said, followed by an ominous laugh.
