"I have been selected." Her eyes filled with tears as she ran away from him. His heart was broken. He couldn't even run after her. There was nothing he could say to that. Nothing he could do to bring her back to him. It was like the breath was knocked out of him. She was the only girl in the entirety of Vale who he got along with.

The way she ran away from him. The sunlight hitting her beautiful Blonde-Brown Curls as her laughter filed the air like music. His favorite activity was searching the river for stones to give to her as gifts. She would always smile perfectly with each small gift he gave. The rest of the boys couldn't understand why he would rather spend his time with her then playing leg ball with them.

He just couldn't explain the affect she had on him. Even the teases from his own Mother didn't deter him. He had made a decision that night and came to her as her family was gathered to celebrate the occasion. "I will find you again, I promise." He didn't know how he was going to keep that promise but he must. The thought of losing her was too much. It was like the world didn't make sense without her in it.

His Father had an old book about magic in the attic. He climbed up the ladder and dusted it off. Rielen's father had taught them both how to read and write when they were younger. His father would work all day in the fields so there was no time to teach Eon. He wasn't even sure if his father could read. It was a skill that he never mentioned to his parents before.

Every night he would go up to read this book in secret. His father said that the stuff in the attic was best left forgotten. Something pulled him to read it though. He had never thought to put into practice what the book said to produce magic. He more like thought it was like a children's book full of made up stories. If it was so easy to produce magic why didn't everyone have it?

Eon began to meditate like it taught him in the book. It took most of the night but he began to feel what the book described as Mana in his stomach. It was a flashing light blue feeling. He pulled the Mana to his hand as the book described. His hand started glowing the color he felt within himself. Amazement filled his thoughts. I can follow her.

The exhaustion hit him hard. When he woke he was in his bed and the doctor was examining him. "Is she already gone?" he asked weakly. His Mother's face was grim. "She left at the first bell." He tried to push himself up but was too weak. "I don't see anything physically wrong with him. Tell me boy what were you doing in the attic?" The doctor looked him in the eyes. "I was practicing magic." Eon replied weakly.

His mother gasped and immediately called for the magistrate. One from his household immediately descended upon Eon's home and he was tested. The stones that had seemed regular before had finally shined for him. He smiled as they began making arrangements to escort him to the capital. He was going to be with her again. Any pain was worth seeing her smiling face again.
