"Ooh he's so cute! Look at his face. Oh!" said Aunt Maggie. Of course at that time I didn't know she was my aunt. I didn't even know her name. To be fair I was only a few days old.
"He looks just like his daddy."
"Hehe," chuckled my dad.
Just then the doors of the room burst open and streamers flowed out like a river of colours. It was magic! I, my dad and my mum have actually got magic in us; we were one of the many families. But as people always say, with great power comes great responsibility. Well, that's what my dad says.
I didn't go to an ordinary school or have an ordinary life. Everything for me was... unordinary. Like some people have dogs or fish as pets and have you heard of a catfish. Well in the magic world we have dogfish. Not just in the sea, but for actual pets. I don't see how anyone would want them; they're brown and have fur. Sure that's normal but that's not all. Their faces are dogs but have scales on their body, with tufts of fur sticking out from in between. Urgh! They give me the creeps.
People think that we wear ridiculous hats, or have long beards. Well they're all wrong, except for the beards. Some of us do have beards, really, really long beards. Wizards are actually very nice. Not the bad ones of course. They're bad, obviously.
Speaking of bad guys, I haven't seen them for a while. You know how everyone has an enemy. Well the wizards do to. They're called The Dark Ones. I thought they had a really cool name but I was told off by my parents. Apparently The Dark Ones had caused a lot of havoc in the wizard world. So basically it's almost like a swear word now. What makes it even worse is saying it's a cool name.
Magic is really good. It's not like with a wave of a wand you can get the clothes to fly into the washing machine. That is just pure lazy. What's wrong with putting the clothes in yourself? Our magic isn't just a shortcut for chores. We have actual disciplines such as Light Breaking, Element bending, Teleportation and of course the magic that the Dark Ones use, Black Magic.
Since I'm almost 12, I know what discipline I want to learn. My mum and dad are both light breakers but I want to be an Elemental. Think about it, if I'm hot I can cool myself down with air and if I'm cold I can increase the heat within me. Now you know a bit about me and magic, we can carry on with the story.
