El said as he turned the pages of the old book Kit gave him. He began reading the contents; the book contains journals of a man who in his writing is described as a close apprentice of Elian Gilsorths, the Great Mage. The journals also describe how the Great Mage made his Magnum Opus, his Grimoire. El's hands tremble out of excitement as he continues to turn the pages of the old book. "Uhmm El? You ok?" Kit expressed his concern. "This is AMAZING!!! Kit you really are my lucky charm! This is it! This is what I’m looking for!" El shouted out of his excitement. "Again Shhhh this is the library, one more noise and you both are out!" the librarian said as she moved towards their location. "Sorry again" both replied apologetically. "Anyway, Thanks, I am indeed lucky, by the way why are you looking for another spell book when you already have one?" Kit said as the librarian goes back to his office. "It's not just any spell book, Elian's Grimoire contains powerful spells that the Great Mage created himself, the legends say that its power is beyond 9th tier and can change the world itself." El explains. "Wow I don't understand what you just said" he said sarcastically. "Can you explain how magic works again?" Kit continued. "How many times do I have to explain it to you? Fine, El sighed. Magic is like air, it's naturally flowing and everywhere, it can be found in the sky, the oceans, even inside you but like air it is not visible to the naked eye however some people are talented enough to see and wield it. No one really knows where it came from, some say it from the other realm, some say its nature and religions say it is a gift from the Gods they worship." El continued. "How do you harness it then?" Kit asked clearly still confused. "Well that’s when it gets complicated, Wizards like me need to study and practice magic but only a few people can achieve it, you need a certain amount of knowledge and skills to harness raw magic like wizards, but there are some who are born with it, the Sorcerers who were born with the gift through lineage, one of his parents or sometimes both have the blood of a Dragon or a Celestial, that gives them the innate ability to wield magic, but there are also people who can bend the magic with the help of nature, those are the Druids, who assimilate themselves to nature in return the nature itself bend into their will, but if you’re looking for more similarities with Wizards, there are Bards who are also learned but to a different means, they study magic through music, they translate magic spells into songs or poems that are easier for them to understand, on the other hand, there are simpler way to use magic, you can be a Cleric who exchanges their devotion to a certain God for the usage of their divine magic that are more well-known for healing and banishing evil, however if you really want an effortless way, well you can be a warlock, all you need to do is trade your soul to a powerful entity. And that’s mostly it" El explained. "Oh your finished? I already stoped listening when you said study" Kit uttered. "Of course you did, shame a Half-Elf like you has a strong affinity for magic" El replied as if he knew already that Kit would not pay attention. "Anyway, now that you got what you came for, your gonna help me with my problem now right?" Kit said with a smile. "Of course! Lead the way, troublemaker" El answered.
Both El and Kit returned the several books and scrolls that El used and quietly continued to exit the library. As the two leave the premises off the tower, El turned around and looked back at his favorite place in the Republic. The alabastered color tower is shaded black by the approaching night creating a silhouette covering the bustling street of the higher district. The usual cold fog envelops the area making a somber yet elegant atmosphere; the magic generated street lamps begin the nightly gloss turning the dusky street lit for the people of the Republic.
"These walls never cease to amaze me" Kit uttered as he points in the direction of the gargantuan black walls surrounding the inner district which overshadows any building near it. "They say that it is made out of ores known for forging Dragon-forged Steel" El replied proudly. "Really? Wow that's means it can really pack a punch huh" Kit responded with amazement. "More than a punch, more like a fireball! A HUGE fireball!" El replied matching Kit’s amazement. "OK nerd, let's go before the Captain returns" Kit retorted. "Shut up! So where is this dagger exactly?" El countered. "In the bedroom of course" Kit answered arrogantly. "This is gonna be a difficult task indeed" El muttered. "Nothing is really difficult if we do it together!" Kit replied with enthusiasm as he extends his fist to El in which El responded with the same action. “That is something I would not disagree with"
