Warrior of Arcana

Chapter 1 (Resurrection)

   I wake up in complete darkness, again. I reach around me and feel a rough stoney surface and realize I'm alive.

  "Where am I?" I ask into the blackness.

  "We appear to be in some kind of tomb." I jump as a bright pink fairy suddenly appears before me.

  "Who are yo.... Wait!" I realize where I am. "My families crypt, my parents couldn't care less about me when I was alive but I die and they spare no expense." I kick my feet against the stone plate sealing my grave. It falls to the ground with a loud crash.

  I climb free and stretch, my body popping as if I haven't moved in years. The fairy lands on my shoulder. "So what are you gonna do first?"

  "Probably going hom... Alexa!" I yell as my best friend pops into my mind.

  "Alexa?" The fairy cocks her head.

  "Alexa Archer, shes been my best friend since we were kids" I look to the suit in which my family had me buried in. "This must've torn her apart."

  I push open the gate on the crypt and take off running. Her house which sits in a wealthy area known as WoodCroft, isnt to far from the graveyard. I reach her porch within minutes, quickly climbing the steps.

  I reach out to knock and just stop.
"But she thinks you're dead." I mumble to myself.

The door flies open and there stands Alexa a bow in her hand. What is really strange is the arrow is made of electricity. "Who the hell are you?!" She barks out and my hands instinctively raise in the air.

  "Don't shoot me Alexa, its me Alizar."
I plead loudly.

  "Quit lying." Her face twist with rage. "Alizar died two months ago..." Her voice trails off.

  "You run really fast for a human," Says the fairy as she lands on my shoulder again. " I fell off a little ways back."

  Suddenly Alexa drops the bow and lunges toward me. Her arms wrapping around my body and holding me tightly. After a few seconds I wrap my arms around her returning her embrace.

  "Thank you, Arcana." She whispers into my shoulder and squeezes me a little tighter. After a few minutes she pulls away and grabs my wrist dragging me through the door.

  I can hear her mother Amiline yelling into her phone. A common sound of the Archer house. Alexa pulls me up a staircase and into her room.

  "We've got a lot to talk about." She say as she shoves me in a chair and sits on her bed across from me. "How much do you know?"

  "Well, not much." I look at the little pink fairy on my shoulder. "Haven't really processed any of it."

  "Well, lets just say that Magic, real Magic exists." She makes sparks jump around her fingers. "And you were chosen by Arcana, a Goddess, to be resurrected from death."

  "Lets go back for a second... Two Months!" I look to the fairy "I was dead for two months."

  Alexa just glares at me and I shut up.
"Yes... Now back to what I was saying, You were resurrected into a world that is kept hidden from most. The reason you never knew about my magic is that we keep Magic a secret from those who can't use it."

  "O...k.. So what kind of magic can I use?" I get a little excited as I think about the possibilities

  "I don't know, its your magic." She says while shrugging her shoulders.

  "I can help with that!" The fairy says excitedly from my shoulder. "As I am your Familiar, The Aspect of Arcana.
I'm basically your magic encyclopedia."

  "Okay then what kind of magic can I use?"

  "Arcana grants her chosen with the ability to channel the arcane essence of all magic." She explains "This make you an Arcane mage, your magical spells and abilities will grow and develope based on usage and personality granting you your own unique style of magic."

  "What kind of spells can I currently do?"

   "Currently your magic essence strength allows you to channel an arcane bolt..." She stops. "I think I'm forgetting something."

  Alexa cuts in, "There are three casting styles as well as the channeling magic which all casters use." She spins her hand in a circle and pushes forward casting a small tornado from her hands. "These consist of Incantational, Scripting, and Movement. Most only excell in one style."

  "Thank you Alexa," the fairy starts talking again. "You currently have 3 movement spells, Arcane blade, Arcane shield, And Arcane shift."

  "Arcane shift, whats that?" Ask Alexa.

  "He can quickly move from one place to another in a blink." She frowns. "Its short range though."

I sit just thinking over everything I was told. "This is fucking awesome!"
Alexa jumps as I yell.

  "Well I guess." She says. "Wanna see something even cooler?"

  My eyes widen. "What?" Wondering what could be cooler than me having magic.

  "Come on, I'll show you."
