Bronwyn
Year 26 of the Third Era
If it had been solely up to me, I never would have allowed something as
powerful and dangerous as magic to be so easily accessible.
All one needs to attend the Academy of Magickers is a little bit of
magical proficiency—something that three of the four people groups native
to Ruskhazar are capable of.
Magic itself is no easy skill to hone, despite how many people are born
with it in their blood. Indeed, it takes many years to even become remotely
proficient at it. Spells are difficult to memorize and cantankerous like our
cook’s poison recipes; the slightest variation from the norm could have
disastrous consequences. Most people need magic enhancers such as staffs
and wands to aid them in using it. Only the most powerful family
bloodlines can wield magic in its raw form.
And yet, anyone can attend the Academy of Magickers where they will
have every resource needed to excel at magic practically at their fingertips.
Whether they deserve to have it or not.
Perhaps it is my father’s teachings, but power is something that should be
sought by few and attained by even fewer.
After all, if everyone is equally powerful then no one is powerful. What is
power if not an edge over your enemy?
Now, don’t get me wrong, it isn’t as if I think I’m better than everyone
else. Quite the opposite actually, I know that I am one of the many who has
no right to learn magic. I am well aware of where I hail from. By blood, I’m
nothing more than a farmer’s daughter. I was born to work the ground, not
study magic in illustrious halls.
By all rights, I should be a nobody, just like my birth father was.
But that was not what the gods had in store for me and my sister. I don’t
know what caused us to catch Elwis the Eel’s eye, but he chose us all the
same. He chose to make us a part of his family, to call us daughters, and
raise us up to a position above that of a farmer’s daughter.
I don’t remember much about my life before Elwis took us in, but I do
remember the fear. And I still have a scar or two from the beatings.
But I’m a farmer’s daughter no longer. Elwis saved me from that life by
killing the man I called “father,” and he didn’t abandon me and my twin
Natasya. No, he took us in as his own daughters. Through Elwis, perhaps, I
am a little more deserving of this academy and the pursuit of magic. After
all, my father is wealthy and capable of buying me any magical trinket my
heart could desire.
But because of Elwis I can never be a mere magicker. I am the daughter
of who might just be the most powerful man in Ruskhazar—not that anyone
would realize it.
