Mariana Fairchild learned at a very young age that magic exists in Paradis, and humans who could control magic are called mages. These humans received them from the elemental spirits - mystical beings who grant their powers to those who ask or deserve them. One day, Mariana, too, has been blessed with the power to become one. So she sets off to Arcanus, the academy for those who wish to master their newfound strengths. Alas, on her way, tragedy befell her. It was something she could not have escaped from had she not been saved by a stranger. From this person, an irregularity arose. His magic incinerates wood and flesh alike. His spells blaze upon his enemies without prejudice. He is a mage the whole Paradis thought should not have existed. He is...

Chapter 1: A Glimpse To the Past

“Mariana, where are you?” Marina called. The sun had reached its zenith when Marina noticed that her sweet granddaughter had disappeared. ‘Where did that child go?’ They were just about to hang their finished laundry outside and it’s the perfect time to do it. Naturally, she knew Mariana couldn’t reach the clothesline since she’s only seven. However, her old bones wouldn’t allow her to do the work anymore. So she needed her to lean down to fetch the clothes inside the basin, and hand them to her so that she could finish the work. “Dear? Come out now, grandma needs help,” she yelled. With her carried basin, she decided to look for the girl in their backyard. Their house was not that big. They also do not have a second floor. Their yard, however, was quite spacious. Only a few families are unfortun

Even if it's just starting, I can foresee that the story has a good plot. From the title down to the synopsis, it anticipates my inner thoughts. My hands are going itchy! I want to scroll my phone screen to read some more of this...

Chapter 1: A Glimpse To the Past

“Mariana, where are you?” Marina called.     The sun had reached its zenith when Marina noticed that her sweet granddaughter had disappeared.     ‘Where did that child go?’     They were just about to hang their finished laundry outside and it’s the perfect time to do it. Naturally, she knew Mariana couldn’t reach the clothesline since she’s only seven. However, her old bones wouldn’t allow her to do the work anymore. So she needed her to lean down to fetch the clothes inside the basin, and hand them to her so that she could finish the work.     “Dear?

Chapter 2: A New Dawn

“88, 99, 100! There, all done!” Mariana stretched to relax her weary arms. “Now what was I supposed to do again after this, Marcus?” Mariana called the man in front of her, who was currently writing on his ledger.       “Mariana!” Marcus yelled without turning around, then he sighed. He raised from his desk and approached Mariana. “Come on, Mariana. How many times should I tell you not to call me when I’m computing something? Now I have to count this again later...”       “Oh right! I’m sorry,” Mariana said guiltily.       Marcus complained about this all the time, but Mariana just couldn’t remember.       “You shouldn’t say sorry anymore if it’s going to happen again...” He sighed again.        Mariana couldn’t say anything

Chapter 3: The Moth and the Flame

‘Should I bring these?’     Mariana rubbed her chin, pondering whether she’d bring the books her Grandma gave when she became interested in magic.     ‘These books were owned by your grandpa before, but now it’ll be yours. Come, I’ll teach you how to read...’ the voice of Mariana’s Grandma replayed in her head.     She used to hate those lessons. Now, she’d do anything for it to happen again.     “Okaaay, to the suitcase you all go.”     Mariana proceeded to pick the clothes she’d be bringing.     Arcanus was the culmination of the five great races’ treaty. Mariana had learned before that the elves, dwarves, sirens, and dragons were at war with each other hundreds of years ago. It only ended when the Great Goddess Invidia created the human race and brought pea

Chapter 4: Repel, Part 1

“[Kindle].”     The spell manifested from the tip of his index finger. With it, he lit the wood he gathered and watched it burn — a perfect campfire. For now, he had no tasks left, so he grabbed this chance to catch his breath.     He sat down next to the fire and glanced at the unconscious girl he happened to save. He observed her exposed figure and noticed that she seemed young — around the same age as him. However, he was sure she had no battle experience as she just completely surrendered to the bandits who tried to mug her. Hopefully, she did not develop a trauma.     He observed her some more. He spotted the soft blue glow emanating from her right hand’s ring finger — a water ring. She’s wearing a white long-sleeved linen dress, which appeared well-taken care of despite looking old. She topped it with a brown woolen sweater. Her clothing suggests that sh

Chapter 4: Repel, Part 2

The chirp of insects woke Mariana from her light slumber the next morning. After checking if there's any danger through her morning routine, she figured it was safe, so Mariana started packing her things back into her suitcase. Mariana checked if she dropped anything when she caught in the side of her eyes that Ignis was still on the ground, dozing off.       'Not an early riser, huh?'       Mariana lightly tapped his shoulders several times. "Hey, Sir Ignis. It's morning already, I guess you should wake up."       Surprisingly, that was all it took to wake him. He soon put all his things back in his magic pouch, which made Mariana feel envious.       'Oh, someday I will have one of those.'       "Thanks…" he said.

Chapter 4: Repel, Part 3

"Come on, Sir Ignis. It wouldn't hurt if you tell me, you know?" said Mariana.       Mariana had been bugging Ignis about how he became a fire mage for about half an hour ever since she witnessed him cast a fire spell. She — of course — failed miserably. She couldn't even annoy him, hoping that he'd accidentally spill the beans. The only moment Mariana somehow made her face twitch was when he answered her "no comment."       'What a tough nut…'       It was already noon, and Mariana and Ignis were still on the road. They were lucky that sparse trees covered the road they were traversing. Mariana, however, couldn't understand why — despite the intense heat — Ignis never once took off his robe. Talk about sheer determination, or at least that was what Mariana thought. She just couldn't put herself in his shoes, no matter how hard she imagined.

Chapter 5: Welcome to Magna City, Part 1

“Are we… there yet? I’m so tired. My legs are giving up,” Mariana said, she bellowed an exhausted sigh.     “You have a mount, remember?…” Ignis shook his head.      “Right…” she mumbled. Mariana was beet red when she silently hopped on her donkey and never said another word.      Four hours.     Mariana never stopped talking for the past four hours. If they happened to be lost now, Ignis would definitely lose my cool and blame it all on her. Ignis never really had a map with him, so he was just traveling based on the previous stories the Lady of Sickle Island, the kind mistress who took him in, told him when he was young.     She said that Sickle island, where Ignis and she lived, was located southwest of Paradis. To go to the closest human dwelling, Ignis must travel south from the island and cross a sma

Chapter 5: Welcome to Magna City, Part 2

Wider roads, tightly packed brick houses, numerous horse-drawn carriages, colorful stalls, beautiful decorations, cheerful people walking and running about: are all these real, or am I still asleep somewhere? Mariana thought.  Mariana bit her tongue to check. She instantly regretted it.  "This is real! I'm really in Magna City. Oh, yes!" Mariana threw her fist in the air merrily.  There's so much stuff Mariana wanted to explore here, but she was not sure where to start.  "Should I try the food from that stall or should I check out that magic shop? Ooh, I can't decide!"   "Why don't you try everything, young lady? You'll see more amusing and wonderful items in the marketplace," Robert said, all smiles.  'Oops. I totally forgot about him. I thought he'd leave us once he got inside.'  "I thought you already went on your way. We a

Chapter 5: Welcome to Magna City, Part 3

"I still have matters to attend to. I have to go," I declared.   "What…"   I finally had the chance to say it. It's unbelievable that it took me a while to tell Mariana that I needed to leave. I should've left her on her own as soon as we entered the city gates, but I got pulled by her familiar nature once again. Was familiar even the right term? I'm not even sure. However, I concluded unless anyone mustered enough courage to decline her about something, she could make anyone agree to anything without second thoughts.   "Don't worry, I'll accompany you until you reach Nightingale. Let's go," I said as I started heading in the direction of the Nightingale Inn that Robert mentioned.   "Hey, wait Sir Ignis, do you want me to join you?" she suggested.   This is what I was talking about. I'm unsure if it's her face or the way she talked, but she had this ability to persuade me to agre

Chapter 6: Elements, Faith, and Steel, Part 1

"Have we done something wrong?" "A mage? Here?" "Mom, can I have blue hair too?" "Shh, she might hear you and take you away!" "No, why would I do that?!" I said, whispering to myself. It had been almost a month since Mariana's hair changed from black to sapphire blue, but she still couldn't get used to the attention she was receiving. She had been the talk of the entire Common district, and although the gossip had died down a little, it still had shown no signs of stopping. At first, the gossips were just saying something about a mage investigating in the Common District. This made all the alleyways dead silent, especially at night. This escalated even further when they were now mentioning that suspicious activities must have been happening in Nightingale Inn. Some locals mentioned they saw Mariana leave the inn's door. Soon, the commoners were all avoiding the inn, and it made the owner so furious, he threw me out. Mariana tri
