Cassian had long pondered the belief of reincarnation & whether or not it was real.
"Maybe another day should do the trick," she said. The pancakes were warm as was the slight taste of sweet syrup, something she did not have on a daily basis. The warm tones of the downstairs room where breakfast, lunch & dinner took place was inviting & calm, save for the single small oddity that was a black clump of fur.
"Meow."
The single small oddity was a black clump of fur was a black cat, their fur coat shiny & pristinely groomed.
The drive to school was mundane as it was boring, the sound of bustling cars & greenery bright & alive, contrasted with the small notebook with images of dolphins & fish.
"We're here honey, make sure to do most of your school work ok?" said Mom, pushing her glasses up her nose as she smiled at her child exiting the car.
"Ok mom, see you later!" Cassian said, waving back at her mother while walking to the entrance of the school.
"Today's lesson will be about…" the teacher went on to draw on the chalkboard.
Magic lessons sure are tough huh.
She thought, taking note of the chalkboard in the front of the class with sigils & magic circles. The practice of magic was not only a difficult one, but also a taxing on the mind & body. Mana not only circulated in the air, but also through the body, such as in the veins or blood of a person. One's mana supply greatly mattered on one's lineage, & Cassian was lucky enough that they came from a family of sages.
Everyone had their own innate special form of ambient magic that could be crystallized & thus used, the "key" of one's core. It is said that few actually unlock or discover their key & those who do are usually part of the higher parts of society, such as being a government official or having a job such as a police man.
One of Cassian's classmates with brunette hair raised her hand, "How does someone gain their key?" she asked.
"The process of which someone gains their key is still talked about till this day & is still considered a mystery. Our next lesson will cover what they are rather than the history of how magic was used."
Sigh
History huh
She couldn't help but feel tired, the history that her teacher was talking about was the war of the first Earth & Water elementals. It was & is still said that they, or rather their remnants could still be walking the celestial body till this day.
