God Of Lightning

Chapter Two

- Chapter Two -

This place is strange. Mother has told me this world is filled with magic. And beasts made of magic, called Magic Beast, surprising right?

But currently, Mother and I were heading into the village known as Buena, near the house. My Mother was excited, but so was I.

Currently we were heading to a Mage's Store. Mother had explained that a Mage can cast a spell to see a person's magic affinity.

And since I showed the ability to already wield it, she thinks I'm gonna be a prodigy or something.

My mother held my hand in hers, walking and greeting those she recognized. Until finally went stopped in front of a wooden shack. A sign hanging above the door, the magic store calling itself "Dark Magic" we entered the store.

And was instantly greeted by the mage. Who was currently on top of a wooden ladder, putting books away on the tall bookshelves that lined the walls.

Though once he heard us, he began to climb down the ladder.

Mage: "Ms. Ichigo! How are you?"

He greeted, as my mother smiled and waved. Meanwhile, I decided to released myself and look around the store.

The books all seemed uninteresting, most of them about spells or incantations. The laughter of my mother filled the room, causing me to look over at them.

The two seemed closed. Is the mage flirting with my mother?

I fought off a sudden flood of disgust, and looked back at the shelves. A book unlike the others around it catching my attention.

It had a glowing blue spine, with white accents. And on the side was the title, "History Of The Gojo Family"

I reached for the book, only for the mage to step in front of me, halting my movement.

Mage: "Ichigo tells me you used magic yesterday?"

I wordlessly nodded, as Mother joined us. And the mage did a silent incantation. A white glow brightened from his palm as he outstretched his hand to my forehead. For a few seconds the lights persisted, before dimming and vanishing.

The mage seemed surprised, as he stood up and looked between Mother and I.

Mage: "He...Ichigo, who's his father?"

Ichigo: "Why? Did it not work?"

Mage: "It's just...he used Cursed Energy. No magic."

The mage seemed to be stricken with fear, as my Mother turned her gaze to me. Though I was left very confused.

Ichigo: "My son, wields Cursed Energy?"

"What's Cursed Energy?"

I finally asked, wanting answers. The mage quickly moved towards a shelf behind him, and searched for a book for a moment. Before coming back with a large brown book in hand.

He opened it up and showed me the page, which explained Magic and Cursed Energy.

In short, Cursed Energy is a more rare and potent type of magic. However, unlike normal Magic. Cursed Energy is only capable of being wielded by people born with it. Which is what makes it rare.

And it seems, I'm lucky.

Mage: "--I can't train him."

Maybe not that lucky.
