Chapter 55
A young Sporean ripped his seaweed in half and holding it up to Jay . "Thanks buddy!" he said accepting it and placing the little guy on his head letting it play with his hair . "So what is the Deputy head doing? . . . " I asked seeing her walking around the edge of the entrance with her wand out casting something .
"The Deputy Head is one of the few known to able to use Rune Magic . . . . " Jay answered
"Rune Magic? . . " I asked .
"Yes it's different to the magic you and I use . . . . she is able to write runes on people and objects to cause different effects . " He replied .
"Wow . . . . . That seems pretty awesome . " I replied .
"It's a pretty strong form of magic . . . " Jay added .
"So we wouldn't be able to use rune magic? . . " I asked .
"Rune Magic is what we call… . . Old Magic, remember the ascension event and what came to pass? . . " He asked .
"Yeah" I answered .
"Well we call that The Calamity, so old magic thrived Pre Calamity where each individual Sorcerers could use and manipulate magic creating countless different types of spells and effect, but after the Calamity . . . . all the kingdoms gathered and came to an agreement forging the first universal spell book, and forced all school to only teach spells in this spell book . Fast forward hundreds of years this old magic has faded away . " he explained
" . . . . do you know any Old magic? . . " I asked .
"No I don't my first teacher was just an ordinary sorcerer and didn't know any old magic I think" Jay answered .
"You had a teacher before Atlantis? . . " I asked curiously .
"Yeah there was an old man who took pity on me I suppose and gave me my first spell book and taught me basic spells one day a week . " He answered .
"Ohh that's really nice . . . . is he still around?" I asked .
"I suppose so . . . . . After a year or so he said he needed to get going and move onto somewhere new . " Jay replied .
"Ohhh I see . . . . So who do you know that can use old magic? . . " I asked .
"Hmmm Headmaster Bran knows of an ancient spell . . . he used it during the invasion wars, tales say that it was so devastating that it obliterated an army the size of a main city completely to ash in an instant, and apparently Egwene the Ageless… . Being ageless is rumoured to know many!" He said .
"How about Paul? . . " I asked wondering .
"Well no one has witnessed him using any old magic but I'm sure he has a few in his pocket . " He answered .
"How do you know so much? . . . . about everything?" I asked a little curious on how is knowledge is so vast .
"Ummm . . . . I only know of things that appeared on the news or books . . . . and escapades . . . like Elves for example because they are such a secluded race my knowledge of them is extremely limited" He answered .
"I see . . . " I replied .
"By the way . . . . . Cast levidis-efficio on your clothes and think about drying them . " He said with a smile .
"Sure!" I replied pulling out my wand and following his instructions, casting the spell thinking about drying my clothes . A sudden breeze washed over me quickly, slowly I felt a warmth sudden manifest around my clothes . "What's happening? . . " I asked .
"That's just a minor cantrip it does very limited things… . Such as making food taste a little better… or creating or putting out a fire… . . Just simple stuff . " He answered .
"Wow that's pretty useful . " I said astonished .
"So how does it feel to be in a world of magic? . . " He asked seeing my reaction .
"Huh? . . . . A little boring . . . . nowhere near as exciting as here . . . . back in my world we would have all sorts of fictional stories where people had special powers defeating a grand evil and stuff . " I began to explain in excitement .
"Tell me more!" He said listening intently .
"When I was a kid I loved reading books about magic and mysticism . . . I guess I had a boring and uneventful life, so it was like an escape for me . . . . imagining to be in a world . . . . like this . " I answered .
"So what's it like . . . . life over there? . . " He asked .
"Hmmm . . . Well . . . . for one . . . we only have humans and animals . . . . nothing crazy like dragons and stuff . . . " I replied .
"Is it big? . . " He asked .
"Yeah . . . . . Pretty big . . . large continents and oceans and stuff . . . I think the human population was around 4 billion . . . . I guess . . . . " I replied .
"Billion? . . " He asked .
"Ohh it's just a very big number . . . " I answered .
"Ohhh I see . . . . . So what was life like growing up? . . " he asked still look completely fascinated .
"Hmmm well we get brought up at home and family . . . we go to school . . . . . Till we are young adults then we find a job . . . . . Maybe love and start our own family . . " I answered .
"Ohhh what do you learn in school? . . " He asked .
"Normal stuff . . . . English . . . . so that would be like learning to read and write . . . " I said taking a pause forgetting the language we speak .
