Calypso Magic Academy- Akitos Adventures Book 1

Chapter 2- Growth

Agent Ivan arrived in the morning on saturday, two days before school begins.

"Alright, so I will help teach you basic magic based off your elemental aura."

"Elemental Aura?"

He smiled as Kai, Torra, Brianna and I got on board the wagon.

"Did you notice when you held your hands over the flames that you didn't get burned?"

"Yeah... Why is that?"

"That's actually a rare property in fire elementals. Your spirit actually is fire itself, because of the Kitsune soul your spirit is immune to non-magical flames and even some magical flames!"

Brianna sat up and a smile grew across her face.

"So is mine an Aura of water Mister Ivan?"

He scooped up the reins of the oak traveling wagon and whipped at the horses. The wagon lurched forward.

"You're one hundred percent correct. Kai's Aura is lightning and thunder, and Torra's is that of shadow."

Torra shifted uncomfortably. Looking out of the wagon cover, he looked worried about something. It was messing with him to the point that Torra wasn't even Torra anymore.
------
The day was long but we had stopped at an inn, Ivan Rented three rooms. Due to the fact that Kai snores louder than a sleeping bear, Torra and I convinced the naive Ivan to take him in his room.

"Isn't that kind of evil Akito?"
"Some evil deeds are necessary ones."

After settling down in our rooms for the night we had a knock on the door. Torra opened the door to Ivan standing there with a very thick black book.

The leather had bright red string that bound it togeather. The engraving was bright gold. The book was titled, "Encyclopedia of Magical Things".

"Do you mind coming with me for a little bit? I think tonight we will try and teach you a thing or two about Fire Magic."

"Yes!!!"

I was just a little bit excited, who wouldn't when your told you could control fire!
------

I sat outside behind the inn, Ivan had piled wood in a small clearing.

"A kitsune is a spirit born from fire, it is said that every hundred years they grow a tail, and their power grows exponentially. That is your soul, your spirit is the kitsune, you have been born with fire in your heart. It is a burning passion, whether or not you can control that flame is up to you."

"How do I do it?"

"Close your eyes, foucus your attention inward. Think about the warmth, visualize the power, and make it yours.

I crossed my legs on the ground and closed my eyes. That didn't really help but I'll try.

Searching through my mind, all I found was darkness. It streched on all directions for miles.

"Where are you?"

It felt like hours I walked but I knew it had only been minutes.

"Am I not worthy? God dammit!"

Falling to my knees I slammed my fist into the pitchblack darkness... And the ground began to shake.

"Come on!! I'll take anything on, I have to for the kids who can't!!!!!"

The cracks in the ground began to glow red. The light grew brighter and my surroundings became slightly more visible. It was the same place from my dream.
