The Last Earth Mage

Chapter Four

j α Υ

As we reached Wind Kingdom, the train started to slow to a stop.

"Welcome to Wind Kingdom, in the World Of Mages." Kane said, gesturing to the kingdom from the window.

"Wow."

"Yep." Kane smiled. Then his smile faded and he looked away. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I asked.

He looked at me in pure pity. He took a long needle from his coat sleeve. He quickly injected it into my arm.

I stuttered a few words before I drifted to sleep:

"Kane, I trusted you..."

ATFER AWAKENING

I was in a huge room light blue and white drapes decorating the windows and marble chapel ceiling. I was laying on two drapes and a small pillow.

"Where am I?" I said groggily, attempting I sit upright.

"Wind Castle, in the Great Hall." A soft voice said.

"Kane?" I called out, not being able I see clearly.

"No, I am not Kane. My name is Haru." The voice said.

"Haru... Like spring?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Yes, like spring."

My vision cleared. I saw a tall man with white hair and blue streaks, dark chocolatey skin, all paired with bright blue eyes. He had a muscular build. Some of his hair was put into small braids with dark blue beads hanging from them.

"You're Haru?" I asked.

"Yep." He said, smiling. He held a hand out. I took it and he pulled me to my feet.

"What are the beads for?" I asked.

"They're orbs. I just have to throw them on the ground or brake them open, and then a celestial being, whichever I choose, will appear to fight or protect me." Haru explained.

"So you're not a Elemental Mage?"

"Nope. Every Elemental Kingdom has at least three non Elemental Mages. There are five types of Mages. Elemental, Mental, Celestial, Traditional, and Exorcist. I am a Celestial Mage. Unlike Wind Mages, my eyes turn golden."

"What are Traditional, Mental and Exorcist Mages?"

"Traditional Mages use pendulums and do love spells and stuff. Mental Mages practice hypnosis and they create illusions and erase memories. Exorcist banish demons and monsters with holy water and they also banish demons who have taken over any human or Mage."

"What Non Elemental Mages does the Wind Kingdom have?" I asked.

"Celestial, Exorcist, and Traditional. The Leader of The Wind Mages doesn't want Mental Mages because they can control people and he is afraid of them doing that to him or his warriors. Earth Mages were the only people who could keep the Mental Mages in check, and now they are outraged with the Wind Mages for killing them. Earth Mages were the only ones who understood and cared for the Mental Mages. Now Mental Mages practically serve Earth Mages."

"Wow."

"Wow indeed."

I took my attention off of Haru for a moment and looked around. There was a giant golden door at the end of the hall.

"What is behind that door?" I asked, pointing.

Haru turned to see what I was pointing at. "That is where the Leader Of Wind Mages sits on his throne. Come." Haru gently took my hand and lead me to the door. We approached it and it opened by itself. A blinding light came from behind it. We entered a grand room with Leonardo Da Vinci works painted everywhere, on walls, floors, and ceilings.
