Beginnings of the Modern Mage The Shift
……*Yawn*Nao: “What time is it?”I don’t think I’ve ever slept that late into the morning. I look to the clock and notice it’s 2:00pm. Great, now my internal clock is all messed up. Nao: “Ugh.”I feel sore all over. But it’s worth it. I can feel power surging through me, more than ever. I almost…want something to happen so I can test it out on someone.I shake those thoughts out of my head. These powers are for protecting people, not indulging in fights.I get dressed for the day and go to the bathroom to fully freshen up. Maybe I should even take a bath. It’s been a while since I’ve relaxed, why not treat myself? But when I go to remove my shirt, I’m astonished at my body. Muscular, lean, and I have a nice six-packed.Nao: “I’m not even using shape shift. I look…really good.”*Flex**Flex*Nao: “Hehehe, I never thought I would look this good normally. I wonder what’s the best way to show this off.”But my eyes return to my face and I remember why it doesn’t really matter at the e

“He’s right, no one should have that kind of power.” “Yeah, enough is enough.” “I knew that family was suspicious. Like, how did they get magic anyway?” “Maybe by blood sacrifices or making deals with the devil! “The church was right?!” Nao: “Alyson, you need to leave.” Alyson: “Yeah, no witch hunt for me please. Be careful, Nao.” She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves the restaurant. Thankfully, no one seems to notice her leaving. If only I had equipped illusion or maybe made an invisibility item. But I didn’t, I need to work with what I got. I try to get back to work and keep up appearances. I struggle to stifle the urge to run home. I know Alyson has a defensive charm but will that be enough? I steady my breath and calm myself. I need to continue working, I can’t afford suspicion here. As soon as I return to my position, I see Ethan mindlessly working. I guess I’m not the only one working through the worry. Seeing Trevor like that would be shocking. He may

Ugh…my head. Arc: “You’re awake, how do you feel?”…Different. But I don’t have to worry about that, I need to-Nao: “What a minute how did I-”I look around to see the interior of Deanna’s room.

They might have set a trap after all.”Nao: “I…guess.”Still…something doesn’t feel right.*Door Open*Alyson: “Nao?”Nao: “Alyson.”I jump out of bed and rush to hug her. I missed this warmth…but…it’s a bit different than usual. More distant…Nao: “Are you alright?”Alyson: “Y-Yeah. Why were screaming?”Nao: “I…was just worried. Do you remember how you got here?”Alyson: “…Yeah. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone covering Deanna’s home.”Nao: “Yeah, how convenient.”Alyson: “If you say so. Anyway, I have

Everyone trains their guns on me but I keep my cool and shields up. “So you’re the one that made this storm?”Nao: “Of course not. If you heard of me, you would know I don’t do stuff like this.”“We can’t trust your kind. You could be trying to trick us.”Victor: “Come on, let me explain this.”“No, even if you’re Victor, you betrayed us.”Victor: “No I-”Nao: “Clearly they won’t listen. We’ll-”???: “Kill them right partner!?”Nao & Victor: “!!”Instantly a column of light appears from the right and dissolves most of the officers and their cars.Victor: “NO!!”The few left were completely shaken by the whole ordeal. Vale: “Thanks for the distraction you two.” Victor collapses to his knees in utter shock while I’m…Nao: “You…”“Y-You m-monsters…”Nao: “No I’m-”Evelyn: “Come on, we need to get back up!”I turn to that witch who’s trying to lead the remaining the officers into last police car, hers. Is this her plan? To make us seem even worse now?! No, I won’t let her! I burst for

I summon a gust of wind pushing Prisha back. I take another glance at Tallow, he is holding his own. But that won’t last long. Prisha: “Where are you looking!”!!*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*I instinctively dodged out of the way of flying swords. So she can remotely control those blades?

Try to forget about it and enjoy your victory.”Yeah…my victory. That’s all that matters. I feel my face and notice that my mask is gone. For some reason, its absence churns my stomach.

[Perspective Shift: Evelyn]Evelyn: “Hurry up Vale.”Vale: “Just because I can clone myself doesn’t mean I have super strength. This sword is heavy and it’s hard enough without having to stay clear of the handle.”Evelyn: “You wouldn’t be in this situation if you took care of Astral properly.”Vale: “You weren’t there!”Evelyn: “?”Vale: “That…wasn’t human. I refuse to fight that thing again.” Heh, pathetic. Evelyn: “I hope the new girl is more useful than you.”Vale: “Yeah and maybe she won’t be a sadist. We can only hope.”Keep joking Vale, one of these days master is going to throw you away and when he does I’ll-*Gentle Piano Music*Vale: “Does that mean we’re almost there yet?”Evelyn: “Yes, are you still nearsighted?”Vale: “Yeah but I’m sure it will get better.”I ignore the boy and lead the way to the room where master is.
