Unite
Chapter 4


I woke up in a familiar room as flashbacks of my encounter with the bull flooded my mind,I could still feel the pain all over my body. I was wondering how I got to the house, I opened the doors of my room headed downstairs with hopes of finding my aunt downstairs, she'll probably be able to explain how I got back home.

He wasn't even able to protect himself against a low level beast, I heard a man's voice say from inside the sitting room.

That doesn't mean you should take him away, my aunt argued back

Now I was interested in what ever they were talking about now that I knew it was about me,I couldn't still make out who he was but from the way he dressed and the men I saw outside standing guard I knew he was someone of high rank.

Winston, my aunt said, I do not feel comfortable putting the only child of my sister in harm's way,sending him to the capital also means exposing him to more dangerous situation than the one he faced today.

And I can't stand by and watch my brother's legacy that he worked hard to build die off, Winston said. And it's not like he would be exposed to danger, I was thinking of registering him in Remus city academy along with my daughter.

My aunt opened opened her mouth to argue but not a single word came out as she sighed.

Remus city academy,was well known for raising strong mages, I heard my dad was one of them,to think I'll have the opportunity to attend such prestigious school.

It's rude to eavesdrop on elders conversation Xavier,my aunt said as I walked towards the door. I believe you heard all what your uncle said,'she continued',the decision is up to you.

Can I have sometime to time about it,I asked

Sure, but just don't take too long thinking about it cause I'll be leaving soon, this time it was my uncle that spoke up.

Yes sir, I replied.

I left the house for a stroll but I didn't wonder of far from the house because of the fear of being attacked again, I began to think how my life would be like if I left for the academy,will I be able to come out as my father did. I thought of how defenseless I felt when I was attacked by a low level beast,if I had a little knowledge in magic maybe things would have been different. I never wanted to be a hero like my dad,I wasn't ready to die for people that might eventually forget me, but then again I could feel the excitement building up in me, it wouldn't be a bad idea if I had little knowledge of magic I thought to myself,after what felt like years I finally knew what I wanted. I walked back to the house, found my uncle and aunt sitting where I left them.

"I want to go with uncle Winston."
