Chapter 17- Origins

Hello there everyone. Just some background info for now... don't worry, I'm working on it... gonna have some smut for you all... sex fiends. XD


Chapter 17


"Calm down."

Easier said then done it seems, for no matter how much he tried, Hieas could not stop the little girl from crying. She had come so close to being held in her parent's arms once more, embracing them in a friece hug while they told her everything would be ok, and it was taken from her. What more, she had witnessed her father being defeated and knocked aside like he was nothing. All these pent up feelings bursting inside, they found their escape in the only thing she felt she could do right now.

I'll never understand humans. Hieas thought to himself.

Deviod of such things like pity and comfort, Hieas could do little to calm the girl down while his 'companions' were examining their latest find. A book that his new 'master' had been searching for. Hieas shuddered lightly at the thought of calling that human 'master'. Yet his power was truely something terrible to behold. Even though Hieas was now stronger then ever, he could not even scratch Elno. And he possessed no form of magic whatsoever.

This thought only infruated him more then ever.

Which in turn did not help his current situation. He had been told to watch the girl and make sure she didn't do anything irrational. And still he had no idea what this girl was worth besides the talk of a ritual. If he had it his way, she would have been killed long ago.

Of course, I wouldn't even be here if that were the case... Hieas sighed to himself as the girl's crying only increased in volume.

Sometimes it didn't pay to be a demon.


"Damn him."

Elno stood by his employer, lightly tapping his foot against the stone as the one before him stood looking to the book. Elno had been watching him for some time now, wondering when he would say something or tell him to go back and kill them. Perferably the latter. While Hieas was watching the girl, they could focus all their attention to the task at hand. Which, in this case, seemed to be harder then expected.

"The seal placed on this book. Its a blood seal, a very rarely used one. Only someone within the sealer's family can open it."

"So then assuming that Aaron is family, all we have to do is get the blood from his daughter. We do have her."

"It's not that simple. If we try to harm the girl then we risk botching the ritual. Which is something that we don't need right now." He crossed his arms. "On the other hand, we cannot simply just strike John Aaron anytime. It's more then likely he's gonna be on high alert and won't agree to anything we have to offer."

At this Elno smiled, withdrawing his blade. "I'm glad I didn't clean this yet. But there is a chance..." He rubbed both sides of the blade against the book cover, as if to wipe something off. They waited for a few moments before the book's pages began to glow. The 'lock' on the book dissolved away to nothing. "Yes, just as I hoped, some of Aaron's blood remained on my blade after our fight."

The man smiled and opened the book, intent on reading and learning the secrets it contained.

"Amazing... look at these passages... This person... this person really had some interesting theroys." Elno leaned foward and read silently to himself the words printed on the pages about halfway into the book.


For many years now, many of the greatest minds in the world have come to observe the callings and discuss the power that came from within. The power of magic and it's origins amoung human beings.

We have always believed, without a doubt, that there were beings in existance beyond our understanding. Demons and angels, the dark and light who carried the power within them from the moment of their creation. We ask why such lowly creatures as ourselves have contracted the power within us. Was it always there, waiting to come out? Or were there certain people who were born with this power?

Some people believe that we had stolen this secret from demons. But it was impossible, for there were some who never casted magic throughout their lives. Some believed that this was the blessing of angels to certain indivuals. But then it didn't explain why magic was like any other trait that a person had and could be passed down from generation to generation.

Where, why, how.... these are too many questions for one alone to answer. Yet through much research I feel as if I have been able to come close to one.

I have mentioned, though without detail, the Destined throughout my studies. Yet I believe here is where they are best mentioned and studied. Destined, as I have once said before, are specially born. They possess more then one power of magic, though are perferably strengthened in the magic of their family. It was also noted that the appearence of Destined was random at best.

This information has led me to believe one thing. What if there were Destined before magic was widespread? What if these 'Original Destined' existed in times when magic was still not yet seperated. The magic in their bodies was stronger then any others. And over time, the magic was passed down. It is wise to believe, therefore, that certain families began to practice more of one magic then another. In time they specially selected elements to which they could train and perfect.

Although this is one theroy, all of the ones I have formulated begin the same way... with the Destined. I believe they are key to it all. Yet still, I know so little about them. Why are they born? For what purpose is their existance? Too many questions and not enough answers. I swear to find them one day and record everything in this book.

Speaking of books, today I stumbled upon a most curious one... While it's origins are disputable, I sense a great power raditating from it. I wonder where this book has come from and why it has come to me... I will study it further when there is more time.



"So, he found something that held the Forbidden Seal. But how?" Elno inquired.

"I am not sure." He studied the book more, turning past a few spells that may come in handy later, and onto the front of the book. He noticed another, smaller passage and read. He had no idea where the Forbidden Seal was in this book, but he was determined to understand everything about it. And it often meant reviewing over some of the older passages of spells and notes. "But I do know the answers are here, somewhere."

Turning the page again he read more.


Even now, as I begin to write this, I feel a sense of foreboding. Like what I'm doing is wrong. But how can it be? I only wish to use my knowledge to better this world. I want to be strong for them. My own children, I wish to be the greatest of all and truely grasp all there is to know about where we live and why we live. Perhaps it is because I feel the need to know things, which is why I perform my studies.

Although I study many things, magic is always something for me to tinker with. Many secrets lay in wait for us to tap into and project out to the world. I beleive magic is the key to this world's fate. For it's spiritual power is abundant everywhere.

Several people come to me, each carrying different elements of magic... I study each one, marking notes to later be inscibed into this book. Their techniques and styles of studying and practice magic differ. Maybe it's because they are from different families, but I have the suspicion that it is because of their magic. Each element of magic has it's own unique place in the world and thus, in theroy, has it's own style that seperates it from the rest.

But there is one that does not abide by the natural rules that everyone else seems to follow. That the body is a host for one type of magic alone. She is a unique one that is true. I know her family, both of her parents contain the powers of Water magic and it has been their practice for generations back. Yet it does not explain how she is able to cast all four elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Never have a seen such a sight!

Although her mastery over all these elements is impressive, I noted she should have only inherited the power of Water. Strange... This power doesn't seem to be inherited. Nor do any other of the volunteers seem to hold such capacity. I wonder what this power could be... And how best it is controled. Certainly so much power in one body can and will overpower it with time. I will help this one... she looks to be a most valuable assest. She shall partake in my most precious and valuable experiments. But first I must help her contorl this power she holds.

The power to control all elements... surely this is a blessing of Fate. As such, I will call those who obtain these traits 'Destined', for perhaps they had been chosen to obtain this power. I wonder if any others exist out in the world... I will make it my mission to find and study them further. But first comes first. I must study this girl. Perhaps I will obtain clues to what lies beyond this strange condition.
