Divine Magic RP

Divine Magic​

The story begins long ago, perhaps four billion years, when the world was created. The First god was named Sen Ventra, the god of nature on this world. He granted the Senz race power over natures great elements. Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. The second was named Rein (Ree- in), and was god over Light and Darkness. He granted the Reens race power over these elements, Light and Dark. The Third Goddess was named Seesa (sea - sah) who lorded over the core energy of life. She gave the Seace, (see - s) power over force, letting them tap into their auras to strengthen their bodies and work wonders with their inner energy.

How ever, peace did not last. A fight broke out among the gods, who in their greed wished to take the world for their own. A war was sparked that lasted for a hundred years. Battles raged across the three continents until finally, the gods grieved by the losses of their beloved people, decided to stop the fighting and live in peace once more. How-ever, it was not easy to stop the fighting and all the gods could do was sit in watch with sorrow as man destroyed itself.

Finally, a group of humans from all the races decided to end the war. They were called the Defd'e, and they worked to bring peace back to their fair home. When they had finally restored peace, a golden age began. But during the hundred years war, most of the histories were lost. The Defd'e, having complete their purpose, became the great Librarian Order, and began working to restore as much of the past as possible. Great libraries were constructed, and mage schools were created. These schools not only taught magic, but also medicine, reading and writing, as well as languages spoken by the various tribes of their world.

When a acolyte completed his/her studies, they were ranked with the title of Traveler Mage, and they were sent out to on vast journeys to recover lost text and legends that would give the librarians insight to the past. When their journey was complete, they became Sages, and began work in the libraries. Usually these Sages would build homes in the cities near the library they worked in, but on occasion a few Sages would live inside the library, devoting their lives to studying magic and history.

The story starts in the Mage Academy of Isenstar, a city located in the northern continent. Several mages have completed their studies, and now they begin their journey. But first, they have to make it to the graduation ceremony.

"Crap, I'm so gonna be late." Ben panted, as he turned a corner, almost knocking over a couple of seventh year students. "Sorry!" He yelled over his shoulder, then skidded around another corner. "Sen Ventra, why today of all days did i have to over sleep?" He turned another corner and slammed into another student. When he managed to get back up, he noticed it was Zuan. "Oh man. Sorry Zuan. I over slept."

 

>I ain't waiting on Zhy any more. I'll just pretend his character can't talk at the moment.<

After apologizing to a bemused Kuan, Ben headed off again. Soon he was able to see the great doors that lead to the hall of memories. He put on a spurt of speed and just barely made it in time for his ceremony. He drew a calming breath, smoothed out his red hair (his hair is actually red, not purple. I just noticed), then walked inside. Before him was his old teacher, Sage Raidu. "Hello master." Ben said in surprise. "Why are you here? I thought the head master conducted this event." "Indeed my son, he does." He said in a wispy voice. "But since I had been with you since your early days, I thought you would wish for a friend to wish you luck, and be present. I understand your parents couldn't make it." Ben looked down at his feet. "We both know why that is. They abandoned me to this school, robbing me of any knowledge of a mothers embrace, or a fathers teachings." Raidu also sighed sadly. "They didn't abandon you child. They were but poor people who wished something better for you. That was the wish of your father before they were forced to leave the city." Ben looked up in surprise. "Why wasn't I told of this?" He asked suddenly overcome with rage. "Why did no one see fit to tell me about my parents!" He lifted his hand up and blasted a nearby vase with a ball of flame. Raidu raised his eyebrow, and Ben began trying to get his composure. "Sorry. I know wielders of flame shouldn't lose their temper." "And yet, you are most justified. It was the wish of your parents to leave you in the dark so you wouldn't try to find them until you were fully trained. The head master will conduct your ceremony, and you will be elevated from Acolyte to Traveler Mage. After this, you may search for them, for we do not restrict the traveler magi in their movements unless a incredibly good reason comes up were we must direct them to a location." Ben sat down in a nearby chair, and stared at the floor again. "Sorry, master Raidu." Raidu walked out from behind the table which contained several robes and books for the mages that would graduate today. "Don't worry. You will find what your heart seeks. There is no doubt you will be a fine mage. I have never trained a better pupil." Ben smiled. "I must attend to some things before the ceremony starts. After that I will return. Perhaps you can meditate on your temper?" He suggested with a twinkle in his eye, then left.

 

"Hey guys." Ben said, stepping onto the stage himself. "This will be great. No one is more free than the traveler magi. One long adventure." Ben was a romantic sometimes. He didn't give much thought to the hard life ahead of him, but even if he did, he would be more than ready for the task set before him. He could be level headed sometimes.

 

"What is taking the head master so frigging long?" Ben asked the world at large. Not only was the head master late, but Ben was starting to feel a need to leave. He needed to move on, so why was this taking so long?

 

>Ok. Lets get the head master in this. I'll post a few words on "being careful" and "wisdom" and we can get going. As of now, no more apps for travelers will accepted.<

Finally, Headmaster Bartholomew entered the room. "Will all the graduates please stand?" He asked. Everyone stood. He mounted the podium they were on, and turned to face the small audience. "Thank you all for being here today. Because I am sure that our magi wish to start their journeys already, I will try to keep this brief." He looked at every mage's face, one after the other before continuing. "The people you see before you, although young, are now considered men in our eyes. They have shown themselves to be brave and resourceful. We would not let them leave if they were not ready. Now i say this because i know a few parents are here. I will not pretend that this journey is an easy one. Sometimes a Traveler Mage dies in this journey. How-ever, right now, i believe they will all be successful on the road ahead. It will be long, full of hardship, and pain. But it will also be full of joy and happiness. May these new traveler Magi find the hidden history we long for. May their quests be successful. I will now present them with the trappings of their new trade." He turned to face them. "First, the cloak of the traveler mage. Though you may enter many battles, this will never rip or tear, and it will defend you from the spells of your enemies, though you should still be cautious. You can still be injured, but the cloak will mend itself." He gave a cloak to each mage. "Next, the books of the traveler mage. These pages are blank, but will one day be powerful sagas of your travels. They may be thick, but these can never wear you down." He hands them all a book. "Next, the pack of the mage. This will contain all the tools you require for your magics, and they will also hold any scrolls or books you find that pretain to our history. This will also, never wear you down." He hands them all a satchel, which they immediatly put their books in. "And now, finally, i grant you all this." He pulls out several necklaces. Each has the crest of each mages family and race. "These will allow you to summon help from another mage. You need but only hold the crest in your hand. They will also boost your magic abilities to allow you greater strength. I now declare you traveler magi. May your quests be filled with good fortune. Go forth with my blessing." With that, everyone has graduated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been several hours since the graduation ceremony. All mages have to make their final good byes to friends and family. Ben came from far away, so he has no family. He does have a loved one though. A young woman, Kara. They are both sitting outside. Ben is leaning on a tree, and Kara is leaning on him. Both are looking at the full moon in the sky. Neither have to say anything. It would make the coming seperation harder. "I'll visit." Ben simply states. "I know." She replies.
