The Life of a Wizard

Chapter One

Chapter One

As I woke up, I saw the sunshine peeking through the curtains in my room. Hi. My name is Le Cadmar, and I seem to have been an orphan. However, a wizard named Le Feeh had seemingly found me and decided to adopt me. He had found me on the outskirts of the forest. 

I have red eyes and green hair. Every season, for some reason, my eyes turn a different shade of red. For example, in the winter my eyes are blood red, while in the spring my eyes are light red. My hair also changes colors in the different seasons as well. Except, it doesn’t just turn a different shade of green. It turns into a different
color. In the winter my hair is green, in the spring my hair is red, in the summer my hair is orange, and in the fall it is brown.

Right now my hair is green so it is winter. My hair is pretty handy to Feeh though. The reason being, Feeh loves to garden and before I came, he couldn’t tell when winter was approaching and he had to pick the fruits that grew in the garden, but after I came, the day my hair turned brown, he picked all the fruits. Thanks to my hair we can eat unspoiled fruits every year. After picking the fruits, he puts them in a magic container that keeps them fresh for a whole year. 

Feeh is a kind man. He taught me, a total stranger that he found on the side of the road, how to read, write, and do arithmetic. He has even given me his family name, Le. (A/N: Just to be clear, in this world names are formally written with the last name first then the first name second. If they say the first name first, it means that the people they are talking to are close friends or family. Also, Cadmar’s first name is Cadmar, and his last name is Le. Kind of like in Japan.)

He keeps teaching me new things every two years. The reason he teaches me new things every 2 years and not all the time is because he lets me comprehend the subjects that he is teaching me. Since Feeh found me when I was two years old, I have learned reading, writing, and arithmetic. If you calculate, you can conclude that I am eight years old. 

I can’t wait for today, because today is when I am going to learn something new! It has been 2 years since I have started learning arithmetic, so today is going to be a new subject. I hope I can learn magic, because to me it is exciting. Seeing flames pop out of thin air, water shooting out of the palm of Feeh’s hand and seeing the hut grow with Feeh’s magic atre really exciting. By the way, Feeh is a wizard. He told me he is really strong, but I don’t believe him. Saying that he has saved a country before may sound epic……. If I hadn’t seen him trip on his own underwear. When I told him about me seeing that he just looked away whistling….. And he can't even whistle. Totally suspicious. 

Anyways, I am really excited today. As I go down the stairs, I meet Feeh on the way. He was carrying laundry in his arms and didn’t see me. Because of that, we got knocked into each other. 

“Whoa!” Feeh lets out a shout.

After he shouted, Feeh started to bend back, about to fall down the stairs, but then all of a sudden he flew over me. 

Yep, that is what he does almost every morning. He always bumps into me on the way up the stairs. Then, as he is about to fall down the stairs, he uses wind magic to fly himself over me. He has done it so many times that I have gotten used to it. However, he has never stopped. Everytime he is about to fall down the stairs, he lets out a surprised sound. Whenever I ask him why he never remembers that I am coming down the stairs, he just comes up with a lame excuse, saying something like,”I am getting old. You will also forget things when you get old as well.”
