Dc: The Brother of Superman

"Magic: A power that allows a person to manipulate creation itself."

"In order for someone to practice magic, they first need to become aware of it, understand it, and bend it to their will."

"The spells that a magic user possesses must have these two components, which are?"

"The incantation and the will" A young little

girl responded. 

"Correct, Liri," said the mature teacher.

I've been here in Azarath for 3 weeks, learning piece by piece. The reason is that I wasn't invited here, so I'm putting it to trial.

I don't mind; the only thing that I negotiate is for me to contact my family from time to time. I explain everything to them, so we are cool.

{Still, this place is amazing} Huge buildings of white and gold—the only thing out of place was the constant dark sky, and I probably know why that is.

"Tch, she's still alive."

"Bad omen" 

"Shhh, you want Madam Azar to reprimand you again?"

"Tch...yeah, yeah" 

Even the kids knew they were pointing to the lonely little girl in front of me, Raver.

{She is an innocent soul in a cruel game; since her birth, she has been hated; the only ones who show some level of love are Azar and her mother}.

{Well, I guess I need to introduce myself}

 "Hi, there"

 ....."

{Ok, that didn't work}

"Isaac," "Hmm...oh, Master, what can I do for you?" Turning my head around, I saw Azar walking toward me.

"Your request for the first floor of the library was approved."

"Oh, good. Thank you, Master."

"Yeah, Raven, come here". The little Raven didn't respond; she just stood up and went to her side.

"Well, I will go to the library; see you around, Raven". She didn't respond; she just stared into my eyes.

{At least she's looking at me.}

 ****** 

The origins of magic can be tracked back to the dawn of time, when the multiverse was in its first form.

After the big bang, chaos and order were born. Shortly after, magic followed. This magic was raw and pure, and from within it, two powerful beings were born: Hecate and the upside-down man.

Hecate gave the gift of magic to the first humans in the universe, thus creating a new race called Homo magi.

Since humans received this gift, they have done the most beautiful and horrendous things with it, to the point that some of them have revealed it to Hecate herself.

{So they know about the betrayal of humans against her}

I was at the library at one of the many long tables for reading. With me, I had four or five books.

"Still, this is really a detailed account of history."

"Well, thank you."

"Hm.." When I heard someone's response, I looked up. Before me was a petite woman with orange curly hair, milky white skin, and huge ass glasses.

 "You're Madam?"

"My name's Alice; I'm in charge of the library here in Azarath."

"Ah, a pleasure to meet you, Madam."

"Alice is fine, young Isaac."

"You know me?"

(Giggle) "Mast Azar spoke with me about your request, and I was the one who approved d it

"Oh, double the thanks then, but I must ask why?"

(Giggle) "I have good sight."

{Well, with those glasses, anyone has}

She squinted her eyes and asked me. "You just thought of something rude, isn't it?"

"Never, Madam Alice," I put the best poker face that I could muster.

"Hmm...well anyway, please return the books when you finish, and young Isaac..."

 "Yes?" 

"Don't involve yourself too much with that child; it will only bring misfortune to you."

 ...."

 **********

It has been four months since I started to live here in Azarath. By now, I knew all the important people and was continuing with my magic studies.

Thanks to my skill, I finish remembering the first floor of the library by the third month, so with the knowledge, I began my experimentation.

{So the incantation can be words, runes, even numbers...wow}

"According to the ancient text, the incantation can be found with deep meditation, right?"

"That's correct, but I recommend that you wait a bit more for you to build more knowledge."

Azar, Raven, and I are in her personal quarters.

 "Why?" As soon as I voiced my question, Raven was the first to respond to me.

"Because you're not gifted with magic."

She responded in a monotone voice. It was not her fault; in order for her to control the huge energy inside of her, she needed to regulate her emotions and the side effects. well-rested bitch face and a monotone, almost sarcastic tone.

{I know that deep inside, she just wanted to be normal, but normal is something that she will never be.}

"Thank you for stating the obvious, Raven."

{My solution was for me to treat her like she was my little sister}

"Hmm..." She just looked down to continue reading her book.

(Sigh)"Like Raven said, you Isaac are not a homo magic, so conjuring magic will bring you u danger"

"I'm aware of the danger, Master Azar, please."

 "You..." 

"Please....." I practice my puppy dog eyes for this occasion.

 (Whisper)"shameless" 

{Shh...Raven} 

(sigh)"Alright, is your life e Isaac"

"Thank you, Master."

********** 

We are now in one of the many rooms that Azar had in her place; it was empty, perfect for practice.

"First, take a seat in the middle."

"Yes," I did as she said. I sit down with my legs crossed in the middle of the room. Raven was here too for some reason.

"Now, I want you to take a deep breath."

 (Huuggghh) 

"Hold it. Exhale."

(Huuuufgghh)

"Now, close your eyes and keep with the deep breathing."

"Hear my voice, breath, imagine a place inside you, breath, this place is dark, breath, at the top there's light, breath..."

While I was hearing all that, I indeed traveled inside my mind; it was pitch black, and when I looked up, there was a golden light.

I felt like I was getting closer to her—closer and closer until I could touch her.

"Touch it"

I heard the voice of Azar in my mind. I did as she told me, and when what I thought was my hand touching the light, I felt a current of something—something ancient, something that doesn't belong here.

"Speak the first word that comes to you."

 "[Kèter'elyon]" 

"Huh?" 

"Hmm?"

I felt it; a current of something was cursing my body, especially my head. It felt warm.

 "How?"

 {How?} 

That broke my concentration, and the energy that I felt dissipated, as it wasn't real to begin with.

"What happen?"

"You used magic..."

"On my own?"

"Yes..." 

"How?" 

"I don't know...how curious, first your other ability now this."

{The system? ...right, you're the source, aren't you?}

 [Correct]
