There exist two types of magic, one dealing with the internal forces of the mind and the body, and the other dealing with the l forces of nature and the elements. Two great empires are at war: Kiarui, home to the Philosophers, masters of the first type of magic; and the second Kuicheru, realm of the masters of the the second type, the Alchemists. A child born with a knack for both types of magic becomes a target, for the country who possesses him can crush its opposition. That child wishes to stay hidden, and the empires will stop at nothing to find him.
Written for NaNoWriMo. Unfinished, and most likely going to stay that way.

No mana, meant you are almost guaranteed to have a nothing job doing nothing of importance. Stuck as just the alchemist's weird kid, known more for scaring off neighbors than making friends. My parents? They never talk about the past. And our little potion shop? It's barely holding together. Alchemy's all I have. It's not flashy, and it's not real magic-not the kind that moves mountains or calls down fire. But it's something. A way to build, to fix, to fight... maybe even change things. Because I'm tired of being powerless. Tired of being told what I can't be. Maybe I wasn't born a mage. But that doesn't mean I won't find power anyway. Discord server: discord.gg/zSsRFdvWAX
