The Life of a Wizard

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight

As I opened my eyes to another bright and great day— I hoped— I felt refreshed. I felt no pain from yesterday’s Krav Maga practice. Maybe this is the magical effect of sleep? Truly a different kind of magic.

Well, I should probably get out of bed since I need to start another day. A good start to the day will make a good day! Yosh! I need to get up! 

OH! But the bed’s so comfy! Should I or should I not get out of bed? I probably should since I need to start another day, but I could also stay in because I need to pay attention to my needs, right? What should I do? Me having to look after my needs was definitely not a lie. Definitely. Not. A. Lie. No, not at all! Argh! I’ll get up.

I pulled down the bedsheets and raised myself up from my bed. I had my legs pushing against the side of the bedframe and I could smell my sweat from yesterday’s practice. I stink! 

I stood up from my bed with my feet touching the carpeted floor. I need to get a shower. Now that I smell carefully, my entire room reeks of sweat. If anyone looked at me at that moment, I would probably be a funny spectacle, with my scrunched-up nose pointing at the air like a dog. 

I need to get my room cleaned. While at it, I also needed to shower. Those two things I needed to do ASAP! I don’t want to be stinky! Despite how young I am, I care about my hygiene. I am very careful about it, and rarely get unhygienic. 

I get out of bed and I start to walk towards my desk. I have a desk, a chair, a bed, a bedside table, a bookshelf, and a lamp in my room. It isn’t too much, but there are enough things so that they make my life easier. 

The desk that I was heading towards was brown, just like in the library, and came with a chair. The chair had some magic engravings on it that allowed it to float when I put a bit of magic inside of it. This allowed me to go from one side of the room to another while still sitting in my chair. (A/N: Think of those hover-chairs from those movies about the future!) 

The chair was curved and when I sat on it, the back would tower over me. It was basically an oval with its middle caved in. There were no legs on it, since, you know, it could float. This chair most likely wouldn’t work for people with low magic power, because it needs a constant supply of magic power. I didn’t know this before learning about the differences between the amount of mana a person has and thought that it was a chair that could be found anywhere. I wonder where Feeh got it?

Let’s not worry about that, as I’m here for a reason! The reason why I’m at my desk right now is because I have something I want to see. Let’s see…… mmmmm, not here……. not there…… ah yes! 

The thing that I was looking for was a necklace that Feeh had given me when I was five. It was a present to me on my birthday. The necklace was made out of rope and what seemed to be orichalcum. That is a bronze-looking metal that could withstand magic in it since it has engravings made on it naturally. The naturally engraved engravings, I’ll talk about them later. (A/N: Remember, as I’ve said before, that Cadmar has at least a common sense about things in this world. Just think of orichalcum as a metal that is like steel. You know about steel because it's common sense, right?. That’s what Cadmar sees orichalcum like….. though it may be rarer than Cadmar thinks... :p )

I think of this necklace as my good luck charm, and for some reason I’d been feeling like I needed good luck today.

I don’t really know why, and can’t explain it, but I NEED good luck. Perhaps instinct that’s telling me to protect myself from some monstrously strong demon? I don’t know.

………………

Somewhere far away.

“Huh? Why do I feel as if I was insulted just a moment ago? But it can’t be true since I am the “strongest god in the universe” after all. It must’ve just been a mistaken feeling.”
