did it when she saw me fighting Chit. This whole situation is my fault.”
Bowie didn’t know what to say so he changed the subject. “Have you looked at the sword? Right now you’re a weapon bearer, just like in the legends!”
“No, he said not to touch it unless Kara started to wake up.”
As if on cue, Erica brought another two trays of food in. He ate the entire second tray and Bowie ate one as well. Erica sat on a stool in the corner watching Kilen eat. Kilen was not sure how long they had sat and talked when the wizard entered the room. He crossed the room ignoring everyone inside and touched Kara’s head, and nodded in satisfaction. He turned on Bowie and Kilen, “Okay then, what are your names, where are you from, what are you using for earth magic? Most of all where did you acquire earth magic imbuements without the King’s permission?” Erica slipped out of the room seeing his tone.
Kilen started by telling about his father and he started his life’s journey. How he had gotten to Basham, the parts that he could remember. Bowie was in awe of how the parts of the story where Kilen had swam most of the way to Basham. Bowie filled in his portion of the story. When they finished, the wizard stood and paced in the small room. “I think I understand. Bowie you will go to sleep now and rest until morning. Kilen, Kara, and I will start a journey to the Earth Realm in the morning. They have no choice but to come with me. You on the other hand will have to decide whether or not you want to join us,” he commanded as if he knew his word would be followed without complaint. “Kilen you will pick up the sword. Don’t touch the hilt mind you, just the sheath and follow me. I’ll begin your proper magic training tonight.”
Kilen followed him out of the room, looking back at Bowie who stood shrugging his shoulders. They went down the stairs and into a private sitting room where Erica was laying out bread, cheese, and had a bottle of wine with two cups. “Good evening Master Parker, if you require anything else just knock on my door.”
Wizard Parker placed a coin in her hand, “Thank you for saving my young soldier. Mistress Reanna told me what you did, and I am certainly glad I have trained you.” She blushed and tucked the coin into her pocket, yawning while she headed down the hall. He closed the door and motioned for Kilen to sit down.
“I am sorry that Twilix left you with such a poor lack of caution with those rings. I will try and make it right with my training. I will have to teach you quickly and hope that you can learn just as fast. First I must ask you, do you care for your sister’s safety?”
“I do. Is she in danger?”
“My boy, every fire wizard is in danger in the Earth Realm, at least until their powers can be controlled. Fortunately, the King has a place to hold and train fire wizards with everyone’s safety in mind. This training costs money. I subdued her so it is my responsibility as a wizard to bring her before the king. You will aid me in the task, since your struggle to get this sword back triggered her rage and that brought forth her awakening. If you want to see the protection of your sister and see that she is provided for, you will have to find a way to pay for her training. Which means you will have to find a job working for the king. I have imbued your sword which means the King will probably take you on as a weapon bearer for his army if you can pass the tests. The higher you rank in your class will determine the amount of coin you earn and how well your sister is treated. The fact that you have two earth magic rings is a big advantage. You will have to keep working for the King until your sister’s training is complete and she is no longer a danger to anyone around her. As it stands, if she is allowed to come to consciousness, she will come aflame and be very aggressive. Anyone who tries to help put the fire out will probably become her next victim, even her brother.
