Arcane war

Chapter 1

"Now class, do we all know about the art of magic?" A young looking lady with amber eyes and a page boy hairstyle, in her mid - thirties asked a class filled with teenagers, all in white shirts and blue checkered pants. The bells rang and every student walked out of the class except for the guy who looked about eighteen, tall, fair, with light brown curly hair, and lovely brown eyes and pointed nose. He walked towards the woman who sighed.

"What does this boy want?" She asked in her mind and the boy stood in front of her.

"Leory, what do you want?" She asked trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"I want a favor from you."

"What. Is it?" She asked and looked at him.

"I only want to ask for your permission to the library." Leory said boldly and the woman rolled her eyes.

"And how many times do I have to tell you that the library is free to everyone." She said, not wanting to go straight to the point.

"No, it's not that..."

"Then what?" The woman asked getting provoked.

"The secret library." He said and the woman maintained a calm stance.

"Leory. come later please." She said and he nodded and walked out of the class to large streets of Conflux Arcana, his school.

Situated in the middle of Decapolis, the ten cities. The cities were Mystica, Nebula, Nevus, Guerra, Pythonith, Dynalis, Hogwart, Achane, Cretia, and Lera. Were the ten cities in Decapolis.

Conflux Arcana being the only school in Decapolis was as large as a state, people from different walks of magic attended the school.

Leory covered up to a mile and got to the boys dormitory. He entered the gate and reached his room. He turned the gold door knob and the door and he walked in which meant his room mate was around.

He closed the door and dropped his bag. His roomie walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped a towel round his waist. He was a muscular guy, average in height, dark skinned and had black eyes.

"What kept you so long?" He asked and Leory unknot his tie and sat on the nearest chair.

"Talking to Miss Lillian."

"About what?"

"The secret Library of course." Leory said and Jonah's eyes widened.

"never speak of that again."

"why?"

"it's not allowed. it's forbidden."

"like the human world?"

"shhhh never say that." Jonah warned.

"why do you guys hate it?" Leory asked.

"never speak of it ever". Jonah warned

"I hate the way you guys act".

"just hurry up and let's get ready for lunch". Jonah said

"okay, be done in a jiffy." Leory said and walked to the bathroom, soon he came out dressed and brought out his keys. "Let's go." he told Jonah who opened the door and they walked out and he locked the door.

Refectory...

Leory and Jonah walked to the lunch lady with their trays, Jonah was served first, then Leory.

"good afternoon Mrs Oleander."

"good afternoon Leory, the usual?" she asked with a big smile and he nodded, she served him and he walked to the table where his friends Kaira and Jonah sat.

Kaira, a girl probably eighteen or so, with blonde hair, blue eyes and looked perfect like a barbie doll smiled at him waiting for him to settle.

"check this out." she said showing her two friends her phone. "Hogwart has risen, and has started attacking Decapolis." Leory swallowed hard.

"forget it, Hogwart's a spoof." Jonah said, unconcerned.

"my parents stay in Mystica." Leory said suddenly sweating.

"hey big fart." A hoarse voice called him.

"what's it Percy?" he asked trying to act calm, but uneasiness registered in his voice.

"just came to say hi." He said, his frosty aura surrounded them and he rubbed his white hair.

"get lost Percy." Kaira said and he looked at her mockingly.

"when did dolls begin to speak?" he said and did an annoying small laugh. "catch you later haters." He said and walked away with his group.

They ate their food uneasily and soon lunch was over, with Jonah finishing what they had left.

***

Decapolis. Mystica.

The city was in ruins, in an old manor, Mr and Mrs Gladier wrote a letter, packaged it in a parcel and tied to the feet of a dove and sent it out through the window, he sent an illumination spell after it and his wife rested her head on his shoulder.

"I hope Leory gets this on time." He said

"Me too" his wife said.

***

Conflux Arcana.

Leory read Necromancy notes while Jonah lay on the bed when the dove landed at his window, he took it and untied the parcel, kept the dove in a cage and read the letter.

"Oh no!" he exclaimed and drew Jonah's attention.

"what's up." Jonah asked and got up from the bed.

"listen, from my father."

Dear Leory,

It is with great regrets that I announce to you that Mystica is under attack, Hogwart has risen and with more power. We need you here even your school is not safe. Regards from your mother use the mirror for communication.

Your Father.

By the time Leory was done reading the letter, Jonah was alarmed.

"Why the face?" Leory asked as he kept the letter.

"If Mystica, the strongest of all is not safe, then, what is going to be of Guerra. Leory, we need a plan." He said worriedly.

"That's gonna be after dinner." Leory said and locked the window. They walked out and locked the room.

***

Refectory...

They both sat beside Kaira eating their food cheerless, when Percy walked to them.

"Sup losers. How are you guys taking the news. Lemme clear you. I had a hand in raising Hogwart, and there's nothing any one can do about it. Oh and also some other students." He said and walked away, the trio cast glances at each other, and finished their food in silence.

After the dinner, Kaira kissed Leory goodnight and walked eastwards, to the female dormitory, while restless Jonah and anxious Leory walked westward, to the male's dormitory, in anticipation for the future.
