Malum Astra

Chapter 2 - Dark Desires

[KITTY DESIK]

Oh dear. I hope the person on the hill wasn't too scared of that. Well, let's see what he left behind. A loaf of bread... A tasty loaf of bread. Anyways, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Kitty Desik and I like coffee. I trained under the great sorceress of the far lands. It's not as far as it sounds if you travel by portal. Anyways, I know the basics of using a sword but my magic is the great part. I was recognised as fate changing, powerful and highly magical. Though... Err, my fire magic is the only offensive magic I'm decent in... But my true powers lies within my words. I am a master of love magic, able to get anyone to just do what I want. I can captivate anyone I want... Except one guy I grew up friends with.

Daniel is a leader of a group of highly trained mercenaries and the sole person without use of a highly advanced magic-guard to resist my words. I often travel with him, hoping he would notice me but to no success. But, enough about me. Well, actually I need to get more clothes. My hoodie and trousers were tinted green by the power I took in. The meteor site is weird

Several things first. The meteor was not, contrary to popular belief, a meteor. Nor just a bit of stone space was tired of. It was in fact an ancient race so ancient only one book dates back to it's origin and describes them. That same book is also currently dozing off in my rucksack. Not literally dozing, just staying there. As far as I'm aware, it isn't can living being. Anyways, I'm afraid I gotten side-tracked again. The ancient race is known as the Astra Clanni. A group of beings that when defeated shoot down to the nearest planet in the disguise of a meteor. It leaves itself open to magic, hoping to stay alive in a nearby body. They don't take over bodies, they let people channel it's power into them. Which is what I've just done. Channelled it into myself.

The reason to do that is because they increase the power of the host body. Nothing negative has ever been reported after channelling an Astra Clanni. The last case of an Astra Clanni was about eighty-three thousand, five-hundred and seventy-six years ago. Unfortunately my nice hoodie was ruined by the burst of power. I've got to write down in my magic guide to not channel an Astra Clanni when wearing nice clothes. That hoodie cost me one gold piece after heavy negotiation to raise the price from zero pieces. I don't like forcing people to do things for me because of my enchanted voice. Anyways, the legends were right. I felt a surge of power go through me. Now I think I should get a cup of coffee.

"Here, one cup of coffee for the wonderfully amazing Kitty." Said the waiter, almost in a daze. I accidentally used the power of love magic to make another person fall for me. I can't control it, it's permanently turned to on. I try not to speak as often because of it. I sipped the coffee. Wonderfully amazing should be used to describe coffee. I ask quietly for a huge flask to take with me. They start the project before I even finished the sentence. Within five minutes I was out of the coffee shop with a huge flask of coffee. I took sips as I contemplated on what to do. Life is boring. Well, life was funny when I scared the kid on the hill. Oh I remember!

Forgotten temporarily whilst I was drinking my dark, wonderful coffee was instructions from the Head-Sorceress. She predicted the Astra Clanni's arrival and wanted me to collect it's power. Tick. She then wanted me to look for some random adventurer who started his quest at the sane time as me. And was nearby Vill. And had bread... Oops. I star to run for the kid sho was on the hill. I am such an idiot. I was meant to stay by him and aid his quest. I quickly buy a new hoodie and some trousers. My trainers were also replaced and so was my socks. I know where he is. Lucky for me, I'm a trained tracker. In no time I will be by his side, aiding him on his quest. The universe will be saved because of me.
