What a Rune

A Diary

-Here it's for you.

A tall and muscular man was extending his hand holding a diary to a Little Guy nor more than 12 years old. He was wearing a black costume, who did not hide the well fit body beneath, has well groomed blond hair and blue eyes, because of his physique no one would forget him quickly. Every one was in black today, after all it was a day to mourn the dead.

But strangely every one was crying apart the Family of the dead. The assumed dead man was named Lekyan the father of the little boy. It was now two years that no sign of him was found.

And in his era where the Gates opened, bringing devastating magic beast and strange civilization to their world, nearly no one believe a human was able to survive outside of the magic wall for more than two years without giving a simple sign of is well being. Apart his family.

The little boy took the diary and known that it come from his father.

-Why me?

-Why not You?

-No, I mean why not one of the twin, Ariel is your goddaughter after all, so why me?

- Cause my brother said it, why would I try to give it to someone else? I'm here to give it to you, but I don't have any right on it. So take it Dean.

The little guy then nod before thanking his Uncle.

-Thanks Uncle Liam.

Liam give him a nod and went to speak with the other.

-Hey, Little Brother, take this, it's ice cream! Float!

A Red head teen girl came to him with two bowl of ice cream, all smiling. Before sending the Bowl to him, but strangely it did not fell, it began to drift in the air tranquilly directly in the hand of Jack. The young boy took it before watching left and right checking that no one see the magic in action, and then whispered.

-Careful Ruby, you don't have the right to use magic today.

A laugh was heard not to far from a young girl looking nearly the same that the redhead one but with dark brown hair, who was the youngest of the twin Ariel, who start to whisper.

-Don't worry, if father was truly dead then no one here would be able to fight with the monster outside. So it's not really a funeral but more an anniversary of the two year trip that took a longer than expected.

-Maybe for us, cause we know how dad is, but not the other, have respect you two!

Answered Dean rolling his eyes before noticing that the twin was sticking their tongue playfully at him, letting the youngest of the family sigh.

The day passed quickly, everybody bid farewell to the family, even uncle Liam, he was the master magic engineer of the city and was in charge of the wall well being, so he have lot of work tomorrow. Dinner was ready and the family start to eat, the mood was good like always but Jack was not very interested in the food, he was thinking about the diary.

-Eat when is hot. You can go read it after

The voice was gentle, his mother was looking at him tenderly, he smiled and started to eat again.

A little time after, Dean seated at a desk, was reading the book in his room when a his mother knocked lightly on the door.

-How are you?

Her mother would pass at every one of her children, asking this question, one at time.

-I'm curious, more I read father's Diary more I found difference between your self-taught magic and the one taught the by academy. But why did you not taught us this magic instead? It seem more powerful.

Ask Dean curious about what it saw in the diary, runes unknown to the library of the academy, new magical term, new path of body energy and a lot more application of magic who he didn't know and he just read fifteen pages.

-Did you do the basic breathing taught by me and your father?

- Yeah. Every night like you told

-So you're learning our magic, you already started to use this magic. This is his magic diary, his Grimoire in other word. So yeah you will see strange term, runes that no one know about, even your sisters is just starting to learn this magic, if you have the right to read this diary it's because your father saw your maturity two years ago and known that you was intelligent enough to start to learn the magic he created when he was seven. You know, he was always trying to find the better path to learn this magic for you, cause he wanted you and your sister to be powerful enough to defend yourself and the one you love.

Tears began to roll on the cheeks of his mother, even if she knew that her husband was alright she was anxious, and she missed him.

Jack was then hugged by his mother and quickly tears began to fall from him too.

A little time passed and his mother give him a goodnight kiss on the head before going to the room of Ariel, she needed to check the twin now.

He began to read the spell-book anew. When he was at the end of the preface on the twentieth pages, he then close the diary and went to sleep, with his head in turmoil. If he want to understand the Grimoire he have to study it full of energy, fortunately he was in holidays, he will be able to take advantage of it; tomorrow will be a long day.

Just after the night quiet down, the book start shining, he then levitate a little and open itself to the page twenty-four, where all can read the title of the page, Basic Rune.
