Episode 2

After chasing after the Thunder Mage for twenty minutes, the Thunder Eagle lost sight and was unable to catch up. The Thunder Mage dropped Kain in the woods and said, "Boy, stop crying. What is your name?"

"Kain... My name is Kain Bersk."

"Kain Bersk, I needed time to regenerate my mana. Will you stay still and be quiet to avoid being detected by that Thunder Eagle?"

"Yes..."

After resting for two hours, the Thunder Mage fully recovered his mana. He looked around and said, "Looks like the Thunder Eagle was banished by its caster and will not chase after us anymore. Kain, I know you have questions. I am here to answer."

"Mister, why were those people trying to kill me? Why did they kill my parents?"

"Kain, you were born with a Twin Soul. Twin Soul Mages can use Blood Magic which terrifies those people. They created a law that anyone born with Twin Soul must be killed. Your parents broke the law by trying to protect you, a boy that possessed a Twin Soul, that was why."

"Mister, who are you? Why did you save me?"

"My name is Menas Danamark. Just like you, I possessed a Twin Soul."

Menas raised both of his hands up and activated his Twin Soul. A dark red energy ball was flying on his left hand while another bright blue energy ball was flying on his right hand. Menas explained to Kain that only Twin Soul magic casters could use Blood Magic and freely choose another type of elemental magic that they wanted to learn. Menas has chosen Thunder as his second magic type. Menas is just a Novice Mage where he can use up to level 10 spells for both Blood and Thunder Magics. Most of the Twin Soul Mages are weak and died of old age before they reach the Legend tier. They have to train twice as hard compared to regular mages that are born with a single Elemental Souls.

Menas said, "Kain, would you like to follow me back to the Blood Mages Guild? In there, you will be safe as everyone else was also born with the Twin Soul."

"I wanted my parents. Mister Danamark, would you please save them?"

"I'm sorry, Kain. I am not strong enough to rescue your parents. The time for resurrection has passed. Even if I rescue their bodies now, they won't be able to be revived. Kain, only Twin Soul Mages can have access to the Blood Mages Guild. If I was able to rescue your parents, then they will have to live the rest of their lives in a dungeon. This is not the life of ordinary people like them should endure."

Kain agreed to go with Menas to the Blood Mages Guild. The Guild was secretly built underground in a small village near the Erbi city of the nation named Sungaria. The current leader of the Blood Mages Guild is Etgar Revenmar. He is a Legend Mage of Blood and Wind Magics. Inside the Blood Mages Guild, Kain was given access to the library where he can obtain spell books to learn novice spells of Blood and Elemental Magics. After a long hard thought, Kain has chosen Conjuration as his second type of magic. At the age of five, Kain Bersk was chosen to be a pupil of Andrella Whistler who helps him practice casting magic spells on the living. Before Kain, Andrella trained a total of twenty-six other students. Each of them gets trained separately until they reach the age of ten. After that, they will be given false identities that they can use to join one of the Mages' Academies built by the Mages Council to learn of Intermediate, Master, and Legend spells of Elemental Magics. To keep their true identities from being exposed, all of them have never met each other. They will not be able to recognize their fellow Twin Soul Mages when they see each other during their time training inside Mages' Academies.

Etgar Revenmar wanted to create a powerful network of Blood Mages that spread throughout all nations of Toria Continents. On the day that he stepped into the maximum level of Saint tier, it will be the day that all the Blood Mages rise up to overthrow the Mages Council. Etgar has a dream of rebuilding Toria Continents where all mages can live together. Just because a Saint Blood Mage went evil and killed more than ninety percent of the population, as well as, over eighteen hundred Saint Mages of Toria Continents in the past does not mean that all Blood Mages needed to be executed. This incident occurred sixteen calendars ago (sixteen million years ago). It is time for society to accept Blood Mages again.

More importantly, why killing innocent children that were born with Twin Soul? They did not have the choice of being born without it. Just like Kain, Etgar witnessed his parents were killed when they were trying to protect him from being killed by the guards during his Elemental Soul examination. Etgar did not choose to have a Twin Soul, but still, he was unfortunate to have one. Etgar was rescued by another Blood Mage that happened to pass by. There was no Blood Mages Guild at that time. The Blood Mage trained and protected Etgar for thirty-two years. Etgar was very happy that he wanted to follow the Blood Mage for all eternity. He thought they can live happily forever together, get married, perhaps even have children with her. But he was wrong when the Blood Mage sacrificed herself to save him from the Executioners. He will never forget that Blood Mage for the rest of his life. Her name is Linette Whitfield. She is his master, savior, friend, second mother, lover, his everything. Etgar promised himself that he would overthrow the Mages Council. He will avenge for Linette Whitfield by personally cutting down the head of the Executioner that killed her.

Forty-eighth calendar, in the year of 415,822 (eight years later.) Inside a small home of a small village located near Morric city belonged to the Commonwealth of Krorg. A voice called out, "Jaane, have you done yet?"

Another voice answered, "Yes, Mother... Almost..."

"Jaane Almos!"

"I'm done... on my way down now."

A girl walked down the stairs. On her right hand is a big backpack. She put it on her back and ran toward a lady and said, "Mother, I'm ready now."

The lady softly knocked on the girl's head and said, "Jaane, you have to be good. From now on, you will be by yourself. Your father and I will send money monthly allowance to you so you can focus on learning magic. Take care of yourself, okay?"
