Accelerated Leviathan: Rising War

AL Rising War 1

Welcome to the land of Emanotahwonktnodi, where guilds of human wizards go around helping people out, and taking out evil that lurks the great land. Well, in a way not really, before I start, the name's Jackson. Anyways, I joined the guild of Accelerated Leviathan about a year ago, being the newest one for a while apparently. I heard the reputation of this guild was great, one of the best in the area, and great members. And boy my first few months there working side-by-side with the others were great, everyone pretty much being one big family, including the guildmaster himself. Everyone helping each other out, so my first few months working (going on quests or some jobs) were easy.

Anyways, with the summary of my beginnings here, the land of Emanotahwontnodi, holding many great human guilds and wizards in it. Though the "Wizard" part is a bit incorrect and correct at the same time. There are two groups of wizards: Minor and Major wizards. Both having different varieties of magic in them, Minors having the most amount, and Majors having two. Minors, have a vast amount of magic to learn from, like infinite ammo for ranged weapons, making weapons appear, having a temporarily power boost to the body, and it goes on and on, small and simple things that can be taught to all. Learned from books that have been written, or taught by another. Able to learn many if you have the time (and enough power to cast a whole bunch), but require some inanimate object to cast some magic if it isn't making a weapon appear, or infinitely refill ammo. Now for Majors, the two types, Singular and Immense. Singular being able to use more powerful Magic, but only being 'gifted' one type of magic, Elemental Magic being the more common in this tier and some unique ones like Telepathy, but they are still eligible to learn the considered lower tiers of magic to support themselves. Singles are a bit more common, gaining it at birth, though no one knows exactly why, but just happens. And require no inanimate object to cast their magic, also having some sort of immunity if it is an Elemental Magic. The Immense being the more rare, from what I can tell, about the probability of 1/1000000. Immense being the best, able to use multiple amounts of magical abilities on a much bigger scale, due to an abnormal amount of extra energy to cast them. A few that I know of from legends and books, they can have abilities such as Long Range Teleportation (Minors can learn this but very, very, short distances), Dragon Magic, or just simply a much stronger ability that Singulars are born with. Hell, I even heard of that you can have wings. No one really knows how to be an Immense other than being born on some special day, like a solar eclipse.

For me, I'm a Singular, my magical power having an affiliation to Fire, and learned some Archery magic when I was younger. In reality, I joined Accelerated Leviathan since my hometown of Lacmia, a simple village with more normal people, only me and my father having magical powers. It wasn't until some wizards and normal people started to invade my home town, me having very little training from my father, who was a retired wizard from Accelerated Leviathan, a Singular like me. Also affiliated to Fire, with some Sword magic skills, he fought like a madman, with the normal soldiers of the village, who instantly got wiped, my father fighting to the end, giving my mother and me escape to the city of Nomia, where Accelerated Leviathan lies. For the few weeks being there, we worked hard for the little home we had, until someone from the guild recognized me as being my father's son. Taking me in, improving on my Fire Magic, and eventually joining the guild to pay for the rent, but mom said she was moving to her family, and that I should stay here and be happy for having a family like this, and since I'll be more protected here than with her. Lucky enough, the guild has living quarters in them for the members that have no home to be in, so living on my own isn't a problem.

Everything was going quite well, until just a month ago, when some mysterious girl looking around my age (which is 16), wearing an ember red shirt with a black jacket, and long black pants, her hair up to her waist looking as if it hasn't been groomed in a while, burst through the doors, and asking for the guildmaster, whom we all call Tom (not entirely sure if that is his real name, but I go with it). And soon enough, Taylor joined the guild, and given the tattoo of the guild to signify where she works for, a light blue colored Leviathan with wings tattooed onto her right arm. For the first week, no one really talked to her, since if she wasn't gone to work on a quest or job, she would sit in one of the corners of the quite big first floor of the guild, with a big rectangular window next to the tables in that area. Usually reading (with glasses)or just staring out the window, or gazing into a ball of flames she creates from her hand. Whenever someone came close, they couldn't even reach her, literally, she would create some wall of embers that is impassable, due to the few that tried to approach her, got very burned by the embers. Even though I have an immunity to fire, it still burns whenever I tried to get near. Tom wouldn't tell us what kind of wizard she was for some reason, so the rest of us concluded she was a Singular, with Fire, another one besides me.
