      Chapter 1

      Concentrate, Zander, feel the magical energies which surround you and channel it, instructed an old dark skinned bald man with a thick white beard to a young man who stood next to him. The young man, who was perhaps in his late teens had an average physique and neat short dark brown hair which was parted to the left.

      I can’t do it, master, muttered Zander, shaking his head as he hovered his right hand over a bowl of water.

      Yes you can, stated the old man adamantly, placing a reassuring hand on his student’s shoulder. Just concentrate, close your eyes and quiet your mind. Let the energy flow through you.

      Well, here goes nothing then. Zander closed his dark brown eyes and took in a deep breath. A few moments passed in silence before a blue aura started to form around Zander’s outstretched arm.

      Hohoho you’re doing it my dear boy! cheered the old man gleefully. Now chant the incantation for the spell.

      Ezeref Ukeb, Zander began, chanting those two words over and over again. His hand began to glow brighter, and a ring of energy with runic inscriptions formed around it. A thin layer of ice began to form on the surface of the water in the bowl.

      You’re doing it lad! rejoiced the old man.

      I am? Zander opened his eyes, wanting to see what exactly he was doing. However, doing that caused him to lose his concentration, cutting off his connection to the magical energies that was allowing him to freeze the surface of the water.

      So close Zander, so close, said the old man, placing a reassuring hand on his apprentice’s shoulder yet again.

      I could feel it, master, I could feel the energy flow through me.

      The door of the room in which Zander and the old man were in practising the magical arts opened. Both of them turned their attention towards the door. Walking into the room was a fairly tall and clean-shaven middle-aged man. Like Zander, he too had short and neat dark brown hair that was parted to the left. The man wore a finely made dark brown surcoat with gold patterns on it and a pair of dark brown pants that matched. Pinned on the left side of his surcoat over his heart was a gold lion and unicorn pin.

      King Edmund, what brings you here? asked the old man.

      I’m here to see how Zander is progressing in his studies.

      I’m afraid you’re too late my lord, remarked the old man. We’re done for the day.

      King Edmund sighed. What a shame. I wanted to see Zander’s progress.

      You can come by tomorrow, my lord, stated the old man. We have a class then.

      Father, began Zander. May I be excused? I want to visit the market district before all the shops close.

      You have to ask Master Felix permission for that, not me, replied Edmund.

      Master Felix? May I leave for the day? queried Zander, looking to his elderly mage arts instructor.

      Go, go and have fun. We’re done for the day, answered Master Felix, waving his hand dismissively.

      Zander thanked his master and wished farewell to his father before making his way out of the room. The young boy grabbed his short sword that was hanging on the coat hanger located next to the door before exiting the room.

      King Edmund and the old man now were the only people in the room. So, is he better than I was? questioned King Edmund, looking to Master Felix who stood in front of him.

      Felix looked up to his liege, smiling. Much better than you ever were, Edmund. He actually chooses to attend class and practices.

      Let’s just say that I wasn’t as interested in studying magic as I was in going hunting and chasing girls at his age, laughed Edmund. Felix joined him.

      I see great potential in Zander, stated Felix, seriously. With enough practice, he could be one of the greatest mages in the kingdom.

      Not just a mage, Felix, but a warrior and leader too, Edmund said. Felix nodded his head, agreeing with him.

      Your Highness, why did you actually come by? queried Master Felix, looking at King Edmund.

      Why do you think I came here for anything else but to ask how Zander was progressing in his studies? remarked Edmund.

      Just a hunch, Your Highness Felix smiled, looking up to Edmund. You have the look you get when something troubles you. I saw it the moment you stepped into this room

      Edmund chuckled. You know me too well, Felix.

      So what seems to be the problem? asked Felix, waving his hand to summon two chairs for him and Edmund to sit on.

      I had another vision, said Edmund, taking a seat on one of the seats Felix had just conjured.

      The same one as before?

      No, replied Edmund, shaking his head. This one was more…catastrophic.

      What was it? asked Felix, leaning in.

      The dark clouds from the previous vision were still present, began Edmund. But this time, they hovered menacingly over the royal capital, not in the distant like the previous few. They spewed lightning, destroying everything in Londarium. I saw our House banner burn along with the rest of the capital.

      Felix sat there and listened to Edmund intently as he spoke, something he has done not only for Edmund but for Edmund’s father as well.

      I fear something calamitous is going to happen to the kingdom, expressed Edmund. I can feel it in the air.

      These are just visions, your majesty, they are not set in stone, pointed out Felix.

      But what if it is not? countered Edmund. Felix could see the fear, the uncertainty in Edmund’s dark brown eyes. He has not seen those eyes for a long time. Edmund was truly frightened.

      "Then
