The Elemental Squire

Fifteen year old Magnus and his friends are chosen to join the ranks of the military, on the same day that his mother gives birth. To Magnus it's a great honor, but to a few others they would rather be anywhere else. They are taken to the capital and those with magical abilities will be there for two years to learn how to use their elements. While those who are less fortunate to have not have any magical powers are sent to front lines after only six months of training, to battle the Goblins and Orcs to the North.

They are vile creatures, the scourge of the earth, but if it wasn't for the hasty alliance 150 years ago between the Dwarves to the East, the Elves to the West, and Human Empire that contains the Central and Southern domains all would be lost. The Alliance of Races pushed the monstrosities back to the Northern mountains, where they came from and exterminated any beasts to the south. Until 50 years prior the alliance had thought they had killed all of the Orcs and Goblins. No one had thought that they were going to attack when they did. It was thanks to the magic and superior weapons of The Alliance, that we were able to stop their invasion 75 miles North of the Human Empire's Capital.
