The Wizard's Lover

CHAPTER 1

Once it was said that deep inside the thick forest near the mountain lived an old Wizard who had lived for many centuries. He was a strong powerful wizard with all the power at his disposal. He was even said to rival a Demon Lord. He was quite old, he was to wait for his time when the human pleaded to the Wizard to help them vanquish the demons which ran havoc in the face of the earth. The Wizard though powerful he was reluctant to help the human for he knew the depth of the human heart. But the Wizard does not want the human to perish and so he lent them a hand but with a promise.

The promise was after the demons are vanquished, the human will not interfere with the Wizard anymore and he was to be allowed to hide from the human. Remaining in his territory until he met his time. The human agreed and so he went with the Hero agreed of they went to vanquish the demons. With the unparalleled power of the Wizard, it was an easy win for the Wizard and the Hero. In a desperate measure, the demons that managed to survive fled from the human world by opening a portal. There the wounded Demon King vowed vengeance to the Wizard by placing a curse.

The Demon Lord cursed the Wizard with immortality. The old Wizard became young again, his time has now brought to a halt. The Demon Lord had placed a curse so powerful that even the almighty powerful Wizard couldn't undo it. The Demon Lord used his life to cast the curse and the only one to be able to lift the curse would be the Demon Lord himself. The Wizard doesn't understand why the Demon Lord would place such a curse, he does not even believe that this would harm him in any way.

But the Wizard soon realized that by becoming immortal he cannot love anyone without getting hurt. For no one can stay by his side, without them eventually left him. All of his brethren eventually died, replaced by the next generation. The cycle continued over and over. Unable to take the suffering of seeing the people around him passed by in a blink of an eye. He decided to exclusive himself deep in the forest never to seek the outside world.

Though in the end, his brethren decided to find a new world so they wouldn't conflict with the human. He was asked to come with them but he refused because no matter where he was, he would still be bound by this curse rather than to continue he prefer to be left behind, he felt it was better for him to just accept his fate and lived in isolation. At least with that, he doesn't need to feel the pain of losing something dear to him.

And so the tale continued with the Wizard remaining on earth. Living as the last wizard on earth, with cold stone heart never loving anything. Spending his days in isolation deep inside the woods all alone until the end of time.

But due to time, the tale became only a fairytale of a lonely Wizard cursed with immortality.

Though... Is it really just a fairytale...?

============================================

Rustle... Rustle...

Ugh... Why is it so bright?

A young man tossed and turned in his bed as he felt the sunlight beaming over his eyes through the curtain of his window. He rubbed his eyes and slowly opening it.

"Umm... What time is it?"

He mumbled. While stretching his arms high he looked at the clock that stood on the table near his bed.

"7 o'clock..."

Well better wake up now, I need to take care of the chores.

Getting out of bed he went to the bathroom. As he stood by the mirror he could see his reflection clearly. A young man with pinkish hair and bright crystal emerald eyes. If anyone saw him they could say that he looked like he was in his teens. He had delicate and dainty features which made him looked feminine, though he was still a looker despite that. Looking at the mirror he frowned a bit. Letting out a small sigh, he washed his face with the water before him.
