The Hunter Wizard

Chapter 1: Where Am I?

"Your name is Warden Nightshade."

***

'Where...am I?'

Warden gave his first response towards an unknown environment. His body, weak and pale, was laid down on a wooden bed with barely any comfort as a very thin blanket covered his body.

He was wearing a white robe with a logo on the upper left. The clothes looked neat, as if it was brand new.

Warden examined the place he was in. There were no windows in the dark room, and the light present was just a palm-sized magical device simulating a candle. To include, the walls of the room were similar to ancient stone-type walls where evidence of moss creeping was found. 

What is this place?

Removing the blanket that covered him, Warden stood up from his bed. However, his body was so weak that he staggered and fell to the ground, accidentally breaking a few things near him. This caused a commotion, causing two ladies to dash into the room to check what was happening.

"An impatient type, huh? Standing as soon as you woke up." A woman with a wand on her hand chuckled. "You should have checked the state you are in."

From the outfit she was wearing, it would be safe to assume she was someone who had high authority. Waving the wand in her hand, the tumbled Warden suddenly found himself being lifted up by an invisible force from the ground to the bed.

'Who are these people?' Warden thought, as he was unfamiliar with everything around him.

Just as he was about to ask a question, the lady who used magic earlier intercepted his thoughts.

"Someone found you in a near death state earlier and brought you here. What happened?" The woman asked in a stern way as she folded her arms. 

Warden then combed through his memories to explain himself when suddenly his head hurt from finding the answer to that question.

Why can't I....remember anything?

Warden was feeling heavy at this moment as he could not recall anything before waking up. It's as if he was a newborn with only his name and a negligible bit of knowledge on how the world works.

Knowing that thinking about it would only make it worse, Warden stopped forcing himself to remember. Relief immediately gushed through his head when he made this particular action.

"Unfortunately, I can't recall anything that happened." He shook his head and replied.

Warden was saying the truth. He really could not remember anything.

The woman furrowed her brows at his response. "What do you mean?"

"Other than my name, I have no memories prior to the incident. I only remember waking up in this room."

The woman sighed and turned to the other lady who went with her. "Seems like you need to report this to the academy headmaster, Eliza. Tell him that we found a peculiar lad." 

Beside the woman was a beautiful teen wearing a blue hooded cape. Her inner outfit was a skinny dress which emphasized her hourglass figure and a pair of blue heeled boots that extends up to her knees. If she dressed otherwise, it would completely make her look like none other than a nun in a convent.

She had fair skin and blue eyes, which made her an extremely extravagant beauty that could make heads turn. Her sky blue hair complimented her outfit, giving an aura of pleasant iciness to whoever looked at her.
