Magica Academy

1 Discovery

Casters

Mortals who draw upon the power of magic to accomplish great feats. Protectors of the land, and a beacon of hope for the world.

However, Sorcerers, practitioners of dark magic, rose to terrorize the land. Despite their valiant efforts, the Casters were forced back. Despair began to overtake them, and the darkness drew ever closer.

Then the goddess of life, Gaia, decided to send aid to the Casters.

Spectres

Companions who would aid their masters in battle, and be their greatest friends.

Together, the Casters and Spectres defeated the Sorcerers, and the land was peaceful once again. However, the darkness still existed.

And so, a school was built to educate young Casters on the workings of magic and Spectres. This institution is called Magica Academy, and has existed for centuries.

But can the education of Casters be enough to combat the eventual rise of Sorcerers? Only time will tell....

Leon was walking through the streets that night.

He was fifteen, rather average in height, and had brown hair with somewhat curled bangs. He wore a brown jacket over a pale green shirt, and had brown eyes.

He approached a shop called 'The Quick Rest', and stepped inside. His eyes scanned the rows of goods as he stalked the place. The shopkeeper was sweeping the floor.

Then the bell above the doors ringed as three people stepped inside. The one in the middle was dressed in a rather fancy gold coat and had blonde hair that was neatly combed, but still had little curls sticking out, and the two men on either side of him wore black cloths around the lower halves of their faces. The shopkeeper looked at them with a raised eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

Then the leader approached the counter and leaned over it.

"Excuse me?" He called.

The shopkeeper set his broom down and went to the man.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yes." The man then grabbed the shopkeeper's shirt and picked him up threateningly. "Give me all of your money, now!"

"W-what!? Let me go!"

Leon saw the commotion and edged away from it.

"Not until you give me the money!" The thug pressed.

"No! It's not yours!" The shopkeeper refused.

The thug glared. "Fine, have it your way." He looked at the other two men. "You know the drill boys!"

They laughed and aimed their palms forward. On them were star tattoos, which started glowing white. Two figures started forming in front of them.

Leon's eyes widened in surprise as a red leopard with black and yellow spots rose up and roared, flames dancing around it. Beside it was a white wolf with a chilly aura emanating from it.

"Spectres..." Leon whispered in amazement.

"Leopyre!" The leopard's owner commanded. "Burn this place down!"

The leopard immediately spit out fireballs that scattered around the shop, setting it on fire. The shopkeeper screamed and ran away.

"Wait, if he's burning the place down..." The wolf's master thought out loud. "What do I...hey!"
