Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Prologue- Dire Warning

⚔Aria⚔

"Aria, execute them," my division boss commanded me. He stood near the rim of the gaping hole in the ground, where a boot camp for juvenile-delinquents used to be. Dark blobs had reformed in the bottom of the crater.

I summoned my wand and transformed it into a set of needles.

"I'll handle them easily!" I yelled. I tossed all the needles at once, impaling the cores within the shadows and causing them to vaporize.

My boss leaped down, accompanied by another. He sliced through most of the remaining shadows with his katana. Meanwhile, the little boy used explosives to blow up the last remainder. Why Tahoma allowed the kid to use bombs rather than had him use his magic was beyond me.

I glanced back at them. "It seems that we have to put finding our true leader to the back of our 'to do list'."

Master shook his head. "Kun and Nahimana claim to have already located our master. They'll protect her until she awakens her true powers. Though we should hurry up and return to Nine Petal Academy. We've been absent long enough."

I removed my mask. "Will you be fine? Last time we were together Kun and you nearly destroyed the place."

He sighed. "Perhaps I did overreact."

I glanced up at the dark sky. "I wish that reuniting with him and the others was our only concern. One of the pillars of this world has crumbled, the others are soon to follow."

Master solemnly nodded. "Let's go, Aria, Rhys. Kun and Nahimana's guard duty is about to come to an end."

I took one last glance of the debris around me. Those shadows were more dangerous than I had ever imagined...

"Aria!" Ry called out.

"Coming!" I ran after them. I had already wasted enough precious time. In a few days, the shadows were to expand across all of Kyuu Seishin... perhaps even the entire continent...

I sped ahead of Ry and our team captain. 'Kun, Nahimana. Please keep our leader safe until we can arrive.'

**Solar Note: Aspiration to the Heavens (Formerly known as Emperor of the Celestial Sun Mist (once formerly known as Immortal Sun Mist Emperor) continues! So, what did you think of this prologue? Any guess as to who this true 'Master' is?

Replaced the book trailer video that Aventadoodlez made for me as it seems he made it private. Has the 'book' song (musical motif).**
