Fate: Trial Of The Past

Manny

Hugo got two of his friends. "Okay, you're going to have to stop and be real with us." Be real? My gaze shifted to Amelia, who also turned to look at me. "What do you mean be real?" Kaida asked as she came back. Hugo looked at us, "Right, the past. I mean be honest." He pointed at Manual, "I got little explanation of who he is. I need more than that to trust you."

Okay I get it now. "I am Aiden Stone." Hugo suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, "Like one of the Stones. From the book!" He exclaimed. I shook my head. "I am the last Stone left alive." He looked at me in concern, "What do you mean?" I looked at Kaida. "The Stones were killed off by the Overlord. Leaving Aiden and his older brother, Cayden, left alive." Kaida spoke knowing I couldn't say it.

"Then we fought the Overlord, and Cayden sent us here, just before he himself was killed." Amelia ended the sentence. She hugged me, "And now Aiden is the last of his family bearing the name Stone." She squeezed harder when she said stone. "Okay that's enough, stop." She stopped and decided to just look around.

"Well that clears me out. He is my friend Manual." I got out a bag of gold, "here you go Manny." I gave him the bag. "Alright, but what is this for?" I looked at him, "For ignoring you." I looked back to face Hugo. "I sometimes call him Manny. Anyway, he is a wizard. Sort of like me."

He pulled out some potion bottles, "But I prefer to use potions." We both looked at him, "And I enjoy messing with the ones I have made." I looked at Hugo, "Don't worry, his work makes up for his annoyance."

I grabbed a bottle and threw it. "Hey, no that's important!" He said as he reached out for his wand and used it to levitate the potion before it hit the ground. "And he can use his potions to enhance the team's physical abilities and performance."

"Allow me to say more." He pushed me aside. "Though I lack formal physical attacking skills," he paused to put a bag down, "My intelligence in brewing is at its finest," He took out a book, "as well as my great understanding of magic."

"So he's a nerd in magic." One of the females on Hugo' team spoke, "That's good. We need a wizard." She then stayed quiet. I looked over to try to see who she was. You know magic! "Yes, that would be true, if you already weren't a witch." I strictly added.

"Excuse me?" She shot back, I know more than you, don't test me. "Hey, he seems to be normal again." Amelia whispered behind me, "Yeah. That's good." Kaida responded, also whispering. "So, you think I know magic."

"Well, I wouldn't put it that way." I looked at her, "I can see it in you." I signaled Manny to use the revealing spell. He flicked his wrist with the wand on his hand and her wand went out flying in front of us, "See, that's your wand. But don't put yourself above me," I paused, "I will not put myself above you either."
