Chapter 10

Chapter 10

"What do you mean the truth about my past?" Cedric questioned.

"Well when I told you I found you outside a burnt village, and that your family died in the fire, that wasn't true." Xavier answered calmly.

"What do you mean it's not true? Why would you lie to me?!"

"Because if anyone else found out they'd kill you and I just couldn't let that happen to you."

Cedric was silent until finally "go on then."

"You see," Xavier started off with,

taking a breath. "I actually found you in the ruins of an ancient mage village. I was alone on a mission to kill a noble when I discovered it. There was fire and signs of destruction everywhere. Blood painted the ground and body's were piled up everywhere. I don't know what caused all of this, only that it must have been powerful to kill a village full of mages. Anyways back on subject.

I started searching around for any survivors, or maybe anything that could be worth some coin, when I saw what looked like a giant stone manor. I entered to find broken furniture and, of course, flames. On the walls were paintings of you and your parents, and oh yes, you had a brother too. An older one though it seemed. I looked around a bit more when right I'm the middle of the flames, I saw you, coated jn a golden aura controlling the flames. That just shows you were strong even as a baby. I can only imagine how strong your parents were.

I picked you up and look around a bit more for any information. All I could find out was that your parents were important people and also you did have a sister, the oldest sibling, but she died while fighting a group of orcs. From then on I took you back with me and raised you. And you know the rest."

"What did my brother look like?"

"Your brother... let's see. He looked to be around a few years older than you, based off his height. His hair was shaggy and thick and it was a bright blonde, like the sun. Like you he had blue eyes, although his were a bit darker looking."
Cedric nodded understandingly.
"Anymore questions?" Xavier asked the boy.
"A couple. Well one I'm confused about."
Cedric recounted the story of when he fought the necromancer and he fused his spells and managed to control the fireball.
"You combined spells? That's something only the chosen mage of destiny could do. I guess before I answer I should probably explain who I'm talking about.
So, the chosen mage of destiny, often just called The Mage, was someone who had great power. He helped fight against the warlocks in the war and saved our town. No one really knows where he came from or who he is at all. But everybody knows that he made a great sacrifice. In order to stop the war, he poured his life force into his remaining attack, killing him. He sired no kin, so we think. But now..."
"But now what?" Cedric asked.
Nothing. That's not important right now. Right so ill answer your question. I think the reason that you could combine spells so easily is because you are a mage, the most powerful race of magic users. That would be my only reason right now. The same goes for the fireball he sent at you. But to be able to do it in your condition is remarkable. You're special Cedric. We both know you're someone who will change the lives of many."
"Thank you Xavier, that means a lot coming from you. But one more thing."
He told him about fighting Nathan and the golden aura.
"A golden aura you say? That may confirm my suspicions.."
"About what?"
Nothing Cedric, you have to much to worry about already.
Now let us rest and let time heal our wounds. We have an early start and a long day ahead of us. Goodnight boy."
"Goodnight Xavier."

Sorry about the wait and the short chapter guys I just needed to wait a bit I wasn't up to my usual self. So what do you think Xaviers suspicions are? It may not be what you think ;)But please, let me know what you like about the book and if you have any questions about the story feel free to ask. Okay, see ya next time.
