The Flare | Chapter 1 - Part 2 |

Percy woke up and found himself sat down on a wooden chair; he looked around the void-like expanse, it was like he was on floating chair in the middle of nowhere, all there was the sky, a peachy sunset.

He felt a humming voice in his head as a bright sun emerged from the distant horizon, the bright light did not blind him as he stared directly into the sun and felt an absorbing sensation, eventually his arms began glowing with magical energy.

“Did you finish the rest of the devil shrooms?”
A feminine voice, heavily muffled in the ears of Percy spoke.

“Yeah, we’ll order new ones for the sleep potions.”
A male voice replied to the women’s question.

Percy gasped as he sat upright on the bed he was resting on, the room he was in looked very much like a laboratory where potion-makers would study and create new formulas.

“Woah, Woah, take it easy there, not any regular human as yourself tanks a magic blast like that and doesn’t need a long period for your body to rest.”
The man spoke walking over to Percy.

“Where’s Amy, where is she?”
Percy looked at the man, he had blonde hair, fair skin and dark brown eyes, dressed in white wizard robes.

“Is that the strange girl who demand to visit you almost every day? Well, uhm, she’s fine just very concerned about your seven-day coma.”
The male alchemist raised an eyebrow.

Percy could not help but smile knowing that his school crush really cared that much to visit him so frequently.

“Your body has been rapidly changing ever since you’ve been blasted by the Arcane-Meliorator, it’s possible you’re experiencing the positive effects of the experiment.”
The women spoke.

“And…the…negative effects?”
Percy slowly responded in confusion.

Just then, none other than Derius Graves entered the room, dressed very much the same as when he attended the last auditorium.

“None so far, other than the galleons i had to pay for damages.”
Mr. Graves removed some gloves and placed them on a nearby bench.

Percy’s heart began racing in excitement as his idol stood before him but controlled himself and wiped the smirk off his face.

“Ah you must one of the many Collateral damages we had, Percy. I believe you already know my name, i checked your diary and knew you were quite the fan of my work, sorry if that was an invasion of privacy.”
Mr. Graves would apologize.

“It’s…no problem at all.”
Percy smiled as he responded.

“Mhm…i believe you’ve already met my two assistants, Violet and Nickolas.”
Mr. Graves looked over to the both of them.

Percy slowly got up from the bed and began looking around the building he was in, he saw many shelves filled with various potions each one labelled with the corresponding potion-type. He couldn’t help but to smile like a kid inside a toy shop.

“Well, let’s test out some of them positive effects, now?”
Mr. Graves tapped Percy on the shoulder, grabbing his attention again.

“I’m sorry but, i really need to get going home, my parents must be worried sick!”
Percy spoke after a long while of discission"

“Your parents will be picking you up shortly, it’s mandatory to examine the extend of your new magic capabilities.”
Mr. Graves spoke as they all began exiting the building.

-Twenty-minutes later | Grassy field outside of Summerhold-

All the scientists were seated behind a rock for protection as Percy walked towards a test dummy wearing protective magic-proof suit.

“You should be fine, Percy! These suits were made by me and is designed to protect the wearer against low-level attacks of magic!”
Nickolas yelled out loud.

“Most anyway, how are you feeling Percy?”
Violet followed up Nickolas’s statement.

“Well, this suit is very uncomfortable but, i feel alright so far.”
Percy replied back, stretching near the crotch area of the suit as it was fairly tight fitted.

Percy stood there for a while, holding out his hand and hoping something would come out of them.

“Erm…by the power of Zeus!?”
Percy began saying random nonsense attempting to cast his spell.

After reciting every magic type he could think of he was all out of ideas. Until Mr. Graves leaned forward, his eyes slowly squinting."

“How about Flare magic?”
Mr. Graves gave a suggestion.

Violet and Nickolas both looked at Mr. Graves in confusion, as lost magic types were often unable to be naturally gifted.

“Flare Blast!”
Percy held his hand outwards as Flare magic shot out his hand knocking himself backwards meanwhile heavily singeing the test dummy and burning the hay inside.

“WOAH! That was amazing!”
Percy rested on the ground looking at the damage he caused on the test dummy.

“…How did you know?”
Violet turned to look at Mr. Graves.

“Let’s just say the A.M.R totem can apply any magic onto the user, natural or even lost types”
Mr. Graves replied.

Percy raced over to the other scientists, jumping up and down in joy.

“You mustn’t tell your parents immediately, who knows what their reactions could be.”
Nickolas spoke.

“Yeah, yeah, i won’t tell them just yet.”
Percy smiled shaking all of their hands

Just then Percy’s parents arrived as they took Percy back home.

-Four hours later | The Calding’s House-

Percy began resting more, his body still resting from when the magic blast had stuck him but then began thinking about Amy and the fact how she always visiting him after his week coma, He slowly began opening his window until his father knocked on the door.

“Is it alright to enter?”
Percy’s dad spoke behind the door.

“UHMM- y- yeah, yeah, sure, come in!”
Percy quickly went back through the window and onto his bed.

His dad opened the door, noticing the opened window and the awkward face Percy had.

“Heh, live a little kid.”
His dad smiled, giving him the thumbs up and closed the door.

Percy smiled and went through his window to visit Amy Drake.
