The Corrupted Sentinel

Exercise in Magic

                                                                            ~~~Ado's POV~~~

As the day crept on Ado had finished his exercise he was trying to accomplish. He was slowly but surely fixing up the ruins that he had found with the use of magic. One would think using it would be easy, but in fact it was far from it. One would say the use of magic was like taking the same amount of energy and  using it without the physical work to it. So if one wanted to move a bolder the energy it would take a person to move it would be the personal cost to them. Of course those with skilled magical talents had a way of using their enemies own energy against them instead of their own. Others had vast pools of "mana" to draw from history of course showed that the pools were stored in gems and other items. These items were usually passed down blood lines and so rarely left a family, however far and few were lost to time, or others were raided and taken as loot.

Ado knew his brother had an item believed to be lost to time always with him. The gem of Bysmas, The North star was a strong white gemstone that clung around the young male's neck at all times. While Ado had never seen or felt its truly vast mana pool he did know that Anjui had received the gem at a very young age and told to constantly store extra energy into it and only use it in dire necessity. Of course Ado had received something similar the Gem of Myrmas, the South star. like its twin was a solid white gem he kept around his neck. Also told like his brother to put extra energy into it he had done so every day sense his childhood. The vast amount of energy within the gem was a constant source of warmth for the prince as he knew while his skill in magic was not an excellent he would have no problem out lasting most mages in combat.

Drawing in a sharp breath as the male felt the cost of his work hit him he felt light headed. Sitting down on a still yet broken pillar he ate several things he had taken with him. Bread, Cheese, A few pieces of fruit, and some salted pork that had been cooked a few hours earlier. As the little shadows from his vision faded away Ado set off to the river he knew was close by. Stopping he removed his shirt and pants and plunged himself into the icey chill that helped cool his body from the day's activities. pushing through the surface he took in a sharp breath and floated there a moment.

It was the thump thump of the armor hitting dirt close by that had drawn his attention. "Lord Ado, The Lord Anjui has requested your presence. A war council will be taking place after the afternoon meal." nodding Ado swam to shore and got out. 

"Lead the way." was all the young prince had spoken as he dressed himself quickly. The guard had covered her eyes as the male came out of the water. Of course she followed his instructions. Leading back to Shyr Tadorar. It was the sprawling city that had first came into view as the construction of the city was well under way just like back at Masol Thysaer. His brother was preparing for war in every possible way and that meant his plan was coming much faster then Ado expected.
