"Focus, Kian." Said Beston in a firm yet soft tone. "Focus on the fire and keep your mind calm."Beston commanded.
"Geez, I can't" Kian said annoyed by trying to control the fire which just stays unaffected even after his numerous efforts.
"It's ok Kian. If you keep thinking that fire is not acting the way you want and get irritated then it'll more difficult.Remember, focus is the key. So, are we done for today? " Beston asked he knows how tiring this is especially when someone is not a sorcerer means does not practice magic regularly.
"No not until I get this fire moving. " Replied Kian making Beston release a sigh. He knows he won't stop until he is in the risk of getting caught or succeeds in what he is practicing.
"Kian?" "Hmm? " Kian replied "Why did you want to learn magic? knowing you are not a sorcerer and it'll be difficult for you especially with the little patience you have. " Beston remarked.
"You were the one who told me that it does not matter if someone is sorcerer or not.Practice does matter but still. Focus is what is crucial. Focus is the key. " He mimicked Beston's teaching voice, serious, stern, firm still better than his father's usual voice. Both giggled at Kian's imitation of Beston. "I don't understand it though, I mean, sorcerers could be the only one with magical powers, but still it's not like I am complaining."He said shrugging."Maximilians wanted to forbid the non-sorcerers to perform any kind of magic not even the basic ones let alone the dark ones but after sorcerers' war this plan was cancelled. "Beston explained.
(Author's note:for the people who are over curious or not patient to know about the sorcerer's war and maximilians, just wait for sometime it'll be explained in next few chapters, soon.)
" You always peque my interest for dark magic and then always avoid telling me about it come on Beston, I am grown up when will you tell me about them."Beston sighed. "It's not a topic I always want to talk about Kian because of this, I suffered a lot, lost my parents, friends, ancestors and that's why I don't want to tell you about it."Beston said quietly. "Please Beston I am really curious, I don't want to pressure you but keeping it all inside is not good. " Kian replied trying to comfort him.
He has been there for him when even his father wasn't. Kian knew Beston suffered a lot because of sorcerer's war and he never talks about it he doesn't want anything but to help Beston.He already knew about sorcerer's war not in great detail but basic information from Beston only.
"Fine then listen, but no more questions I won't be telling you all the details and you won't ask for them. So, after a long pause he continued There are eight major types of magic their actual name that was given by Maximilians was banned because they named it and we shouldn't be using anything given by them. So, they are Elements through which you can control elements of nature(earth, water, fire, air), metals through which you can control metals, healing through which you can heal someone, communication withcreatures;mystic or non mystic. These are basic magic all sorcerers are allowed to perform and, human hypnosis and animal hypnosis through which you can influence them. These have a lot of limitations and animal and humancontrol are the same without limitations which makes them even worse. These four are dark magic which are forbidden to use now but Maximilians used them back in the past.Because of this my people... Beston trailed off fighting his tears. "Kian, promise me you won't ever be involved in anything with dark magic please" Beston said his voice cracking
