Chronicles of the Magiks

Chapter One: The Wounded

I walked throughout the village, and saw the wounded everywhere, they were limping wincing in pain, they couldn't heal quick, because the guild only had three who train in healing, I looked around to see a six-teen year old girl, with one of the guilds healer, the healer girl wrapped the six-teen year old girls wrist in a special silver tissue, what was it called? I think it was silver iron cover wrap. Long name huh? Atleast thats what I learned in training.

I looked over to another part of the village, an old man was lying on a wood bed, with soft wool blankets around him, he was bleeding non-stop, and was missing a leg, he was unconscious and was bleeding from a large scar in the head, he was surely gonna die, he looked terrible, then a healer then came over to him, this healer was a man, with white hair, and worried pale blue eyes.

The healer man, made a star shape with his fingers in the air, and drew a line both way across it, then a golden star appeared he controlled it with his hands, he drew the star down, onto his forehead, then he pretend to punch the star, then in a couple of minutes, the guys had wound, slowly started to heal, way too lowly for me to stick around and watch it.

"Jasper Moon Shadow! Get over here and help me collect water for the wounded!!" I heard my name being called by my mother.

she always cared very deeply for her guild, she motioned to me and when I ran over there, she handed me a wooden cup, I then reached down into the well, and filled up the cup. My mother then pointed over to the line of wounded people, that were waiting to get healed by the healers. I nodded my head and ran over to the wounded, drowsy, and wincing line, and noticed one thirteen looking hear old boy who could barely even stay on his feet, I immediately rushed over to him, and forced the cup of water into his cut and bleeding hands. He then smiled happily and dipped his head, I guess he was too hurt to talk.

I the rushed back over to my mother, she handed me another cup, I scooped up more water, then ran back to the line to give the water to a young woman who had an eyepatch over he face, and was walking by holding a big along stick, I handed her the water, her eyes shone with delight and thankfulness as she continued to drink from the cup.

I went on handing out water to the whole line for the past hour until the sun started to slowly set tinting the blue sky, into shades of pinks, purples, oranges, and red, all vivid colors splayed across the sky like fireworks, I just loved the sunset, especially when it was as pretty as this.

My mother then grabbed my hand, shattering my thoughts, she dragged me back to our house, when I stepped through the door, I immediately sat down on an old wooden chair, it made a squeak noise when I sat on it. "Whats for dinner?" I asked her excitedly.

"Bread rolls and chicken, I was given free chicken to me by the butcher, he's a ice guy ya' know, he's been giving out free food all day to the hurt, Im gonna make the bread rolls myself, after I cook the chicken." She explained in long detail that I didn't really care about, all I asked was what was for dinner not, 'How as you're WHOLE day?'

My mother smiled at me, I guess she thought I was listening, but I wasn't, my mind was completed somewhere else, I was thinking about the fight, the fight that left all those people out there wounded, the fight between Tiger Fang guild and the Pheonix Gold guild, my guild.

Tiger Fang are extremely goof fighters, handy with axes and other sorts that resemble an axe, most of their people of their guild are trained in fire magics, witch is the reason all our guild men and woman are covered in bad burns, and terrible cuts, but since my guild has even better fighters, I bet Tiger Fang lost a couple of lives. The lord of Tiger fang, Blackbone, is a super talented fighter, but when he battled against our lord, Sunflower, he was almost killed.

I remember standing off in the distance, far from the fight, but I was not trained enough, so it broke my heart to see people fight and fight, die and die, kill and kill, It was a horrible feeling knowing someone is dying right now and you cant even do a single thing about it, its the worst feeling in the world.

I hear my mother call my, name, I snap out of my thoughts and run to go grab a plate for dinner, I take a wooden plate, and eat A LOT and I ate FAST. I was very hungry, working all day in the scorching hot sun, we were already running out of water in the well, and the village river was drying up because of the unbearable heat.

I set my empty plate on the table as I walk over to my bed and curl up in my sheets, I can't fall asleep! I can't knowing that there are people suffering outside and dying! I thin these things... But my mind... still wants me to sleep. I blearily and drowsily let all my thoughts fade away into the darkness as I close my eyes and enter deep deep sleep.
