— Entry #3: May 24th - Tuesday —

So, James comes back today. And I'll get to meet him for the first time. Tom said he'll be here in a couple of minutes or so. So I'll have to wait until he comes to figure out what the heck is going on.

Being accused of angering some god you don't know in a world you don't know when you have next to no clue who you are is ridiculous. But I can see how people are suspicious of me. There are a lot of coincidences here that would suggest that I had something to do with this. I hope not. I really hope not.

I'm not looking forward to learning what I did if it turns out that I in fact had something to do with Mianite's anger.

Vienna has three gods; Mianite, Dianite, and Ianite.

I looked into them last night because I was curious as to what people were so afraid of and I think they have a good reason.

Dianite is the god of the Nether. Now, the Nether does sound familiar to me. The name of it sounds familiar but the name Dianite rings no bells.

Mianite, the god of the Overworld. The Overworld is just another name for the surface as some would call it. The world that humans and wizards live on.

Ianite, she's the goddess of the End. Again, the name of the End is familiar, but not the goddess. It seems the names of the worlds are ones that I knew before but I have no clue as to who the people are.

But update to the list:
- My name is Seto (Think it is at least)
- I'm at the magic level of an Elite Master Wizard
- I'm around 21 or 22 (Don't quote on that)
- I have a type of military background
- I have the markings of some type of War Hero and/or someone very important
- I may not be from Vienna, but from a different world in general
- My magic type is unknown in Vienna
- The Nether and the End Realm are names that are familiar to me
- I may or may not have angered some god
- I don't know the gods of Vienna (Realm of Mianite)

Longer list but still short...I wish I could learn more at a faster rate but...things just don't go well for me...

On a completely different note, one of the books that Matt brought me had chapters about the Fyre Brothers in it. It talked about their magic and how it is different than anything that has been seen before.

They can create anything they want out of thin air and they can fly without depending on mana, which is why I think they are such gifted builders. I have heard of their magic type before since Tom told me about it a bit. Athar magic, magic that is unlike anything people have see before and only those four have it. That's why people think that creating things out of thin air and flying without mana, they think it is the athar magic since those abilities are so unheard of. But there is a catch, they are easily susceptible to corruption. And if they do get corrupted, it would be a catastrophe. That type of power seems really cool but of course, it comes with a heavy price if you were to abuse it. As well as creating things and flying, their magic grew much stronger. James apparently grew the strongest since he got the lion's share of the power. But because of that lion's share, the magic messed with his mind and his heart. That wasn't mentioned in the book but that's what Tom told me when I asked him about it earlier.

It was a heavy price but they only did it because at the time, Matthew was dying and they had to save him. So James took the price and it changed his personality but they save Matt. The only problem is that Matt does depend on his magic to be able to even function. But he is a very powerful fire wizard, one of the strongest. Phil is one of the strongest Elemental Earth Wizards, Tom said he uses electricity magic and James...well I actually don't know because no one has told me. But I have heard that his magic type is the strongest of the four.

So at least I know I'm surrounded by capable wizards.

I think I hear James coming, I'll write tomorrow or later today.

-Seto

I closed the book, putting the quill down as I heard voices, voices I didn't recognize as one of the three Fyre Brothers I have met. I put the journal in a drawer, getting up from my seat. I opened my door to find a woman about to knock on the door. I stared at her and she stared back at me for a minute. Her eyes soften at me and she turned halfway, looking at a man that had dark ashen grey skin and red glowing eyes.

"This is Seto, Wag? But he looks so adorable, how is he capable of angering a god?" she asked.

My eyes looked at the man. So that's James? James is sometimes called by his middle name, Waglington. Tom said his real name is James Hayes, but people call him Waglington or Wag a lot.

I saw James nod. "Yes, that's Seto," he said before looking at me in particular. "It is nice to see you are on your feet instead of laying in a hospital bed. I have your sword. I had it fixed in the city since sword repair is not Phil's thing," James said before he handed me a sheath with a sword in it. I took it and grabbed the handle, feeling it fit perfectly to my hand before I pulled it halfway out of the black leather sheath and I looked at the blade. There are runic symbols on the blade, symbols that look familiar to me.

I sheath the sword, looking at James. "Thanks, so...whose this?" I asked him.

James glanced at the woman. "Oh right, this is Sabrina, she's a friend of ours," he said. Sabrina looks at me with a smile. Well, she looks normal, I can tell she is a wizardess because of the magic signature she is giving off. But compared to James's signature, she doesn't seem that strong. I've noticed that stronger wizards like Phil and James give off much stronger signatures while weaker wizards like the students do not. But I've learned my lesson in not judging books by covers because of Matt and how much I misjudged him. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

I looked at James. "Did you find anything?" I asked him.

James shakes his head at me. "Unfortunately no. I went to every outpost both on the frontlines and around the area. I've asked around in Laenadur to see if anyone filed a missing person report but no luck there either. Don't worry though, Seto. We'll figure out where you are from. Right now we have bigger problems with Mianite's anger and people accusing you," he said.

Sabrina nods before she crosses her arms. "Yes, it might not seem like a big deal," she said making me look at her. She looks at me. "But gods like Mianite don't get angry without reason. Though I doubt you had anything to do with it since this has been going on for almost three weeks now. If you had anything to do with his anger, he would have struck already which he hasn't. People are just overreacting," she said.

James nodded. "Exactly, not that I wouldn't entirely disapprove if you had something to do with Mianite's anger, but you know, others will," James said making me smile before Sabrina smacked James's arm with the back of her hand.

Sabrina looked at him. "That's because everyone knows you are Mr. 'to hell with the gods'," she said.

James nod. "Yeah, well, they should just stay in their lane where they belong and we'll stay in ours but they always have to cross to our lane and blame us for things we never did," he said.

Sabrina sighed. "Well, it doesn't help that they haven't picked new champions yet. So they must be bored," she said. She looked at me. "But Seto, you did get a bit lucky here. Mianite may dislike us wizards, but he isn't unreasonable. If this were Dianite however...well I wouldn't want to be you--"

"What about Ianite? Isn't she a goddess too?" I asked them. I've heard everyone talk so much about Dianite and Mianite but I have heard next to nothing about Ianite. But I saw Sabrina's expression drop a bit making me nervous. Was what I said out of line or something? Am I not supposed to ask about the gods? Because I am quite curious about them.

Sabrina glanced at James before looking at me. "Ianite is the goddess of balance, she is Dianite and Mianite's sister. Out of the three gods, she's the one who gets along the most with us wizards. We've never had any type of problem with her, just with her brothers. But she barely ever shows up on the Overworld. Only Dianite and Mianite show themselves here. Contacting Ianite is...it's a hopeless venture," she said. The goddess of balance? But if that is true, shouldn't she be keeping the balance? You know, keeping the peace? Well, she isn't doing a good job if there is a war going on right now.

James nods, but he steps back. "Come on, let's go up to Phil's workshop. I have a lot of explaining to do to all four of you to catch you all up," he said. I strapped the sheath around my hips, letting the blade rest on my left side before I followed them up. Well, I went up about four steps before my leg screamed at me and I levitated the rest of the way up. Wait, if the Fyre Brothers can fly then why bother making stairs? Seems pointless to me.

But I made it up to Phil's workshop, where I see Phil, Tom, and Matt already waiting but I see two other people as well. My feet touch the floor, my eyes looking at the two new people.

Tom chuckled as I landed down. "Good thing you remember how to do that or else I would really feel bad about making you walk up all those steps," he said. I looked at Tom, going mostly to him and Matt to stand beside them. With recent events, I think it is better to stay close to the Fyre Brothers and be wary of newcomers. For instance, one of the two new people in the room haven't stopped staring at me and it's making me uncomfortable.

I point to the two new people. "Who are they?" I asked Tom.

Tom glanced at them. "Oh! That's right, sorry. Let's get introductions out of the way. I assume you met Sabrina already. The one with the black hair and blue eyes is Nyara, she's a Master teleportation and healing wizardess and a friend of ours. And the brown hair with green eyes with is Riley, he's an Elite Wizard like James and Phil and is an old friend of ours. He's a Sensory wizard. Riley, Nyara, this is Seto...our mysterious amnesiac wizard friend," Tom said. I looked at the two, Nyara is the one who has been staring at me. But when I look at her, she gives me a smile.

She steps towards me. "Sorry, didn't mean to stare. You just aren't what I expected is all," she said.

I tilted my head a bit at her. "And what exactly did you expect?" I asked her curiously.

She smiled a bit. "I didn't expect you to be cute, Seto. From what James described you as I expected you to be like some weird looking sorcerer. But no, you're adorable," she said. Wait, how did James describe me?!

I stared at her. "I don't know whether I should be offended or not," I told her.

She chuckled lightly. "Don't be, James isn't good with people in general," she said. And yet I do still feel offended at least a little bit.

James and Sabrina came up over the top of the steps with James flying her up in his arms. I was wondering when he was just going to do that since I passed them on my way up here. He set her down, putting his feet on the floor afterward.

James looked at Phil. "Did you get introductions out of the way yet?" he asked. Phil nodded before James looked at Riley. "Riley, your assessment?" he asked.

Riley has been staring at me as well, it is just that Nyara's way of staring made me uncomfortable while Riley just seems like he is staring through my soul.

Riley nodded a bit. "Yeah, there is an odd aura around him. You were right about that, he definitely is a puzzle," he responded. I looked at James for help since I really don't get what he is trying to say.

James looked at me. "I sensed an odd aura around you the moment I saw you, Seto. Riley here is a sensory/ energy wizard, your magic signature is unlike one that I've encountered and everyone here agreed to that," he said before looking at Phil. "Did you guys figure out his magic type yet?" he asked.

Phil shook his head. "Nope, his magic type is unknown here," he said. I looked at Phil and then at James. I didn't really know what to think, if my magic type is unknown here, it is gonna be hard to figure out what I'm capable of magically.

James sighed and looked at me. "How are you feeling?" he asked me.  I shrugged my shoulders at him. I feel alright right now, my leg is sore but it isn't bad. It can get really bad, but it isn't like that yet.

"I'm feeling alright at the moment," I told him.

James nods and turns to me. "I want to test you, push you magically till your instincts take over that makes you use your magic," he said. I hesitated, I have to find out sooner or later. And I feel like I can trust James with this, so I nod, agreeing with him.

"Alright, let's do it," I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Ten Minutes Later*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somehow I'm starting to have second thoughts but I know this needs to be done. We went to the training grounds since classes were in session, there's no one here leaving it open for us to do just about anything we need to do.

"You ready, Seto?" James asked me. I nodded, preparing myself.

I saw James's magic activate, I focused on what he was doing but I also focused on if anything was familiar. If I am a war hero, fighting should be natural to me. So maybe this will help jog my memory beyond just spells. If not, then I don't know what to do.

I saw James cast a spell at me, I felt my feet move on instinct, dodging around the spell and let it fly past me and hit the ground. I looked at them and saw them look shocked like they didn't expect that.

I looked at Sabrina who was a few feet away. "What?" I questioned.

"James never misses," Sabrina said. I shrugged my shoulders and looked at James. He's preparing another spell to throw at me, I stared at him. That move, that dodge, it was instinctive meaning that at least some of my combat experience hasn't died yet. I watched him throw another spell at me, and suddenly felt really lightheaded and dizzy. But my feet move backward, I felt the spell hit me and I landed on my back, but I was so lightheaded that I couldn't tell what happened. My vision blurred as the others ran to me.

Nyara fell to her knees, grabbing me. "Don't move yet," she said worried before her hands and eyes started glowing. I would be listening to her closer but my aching head is grabbing my attention. I closed my eyes, my hand touching my face as if could somehow stop the pain. I let out a groan, but when my eyes opened, I knew instantly something was wrong. My headache is gone and so is the pain in my leg and right shoulder where James's spell hit me. But instead of laying down like I was...I'm somehow on my feet.

"Hey? You alright? You look pale," a voice asked me before I felt a hand touch my arm. I flinched and looked in front of me and that's when I realized what the hell was going on. I'm in some warzone, there are bodies littered everywhere and the problem is...they don't look exactly human. I looked around, shocked until my eyes land on the person in front of me. I looked at them. Blonde hair, golden eyes, dark-colored clothing, and a sword strapped to his hip. But what really takes my attention is the silver colored crown on his head. If he has some crown on his head, wouldn't that make him a king or something? But why silver?

His eyes are laced with concern. "Do you need to rest for a second? You did use a lot of your magic to get us here, I don't want you to overwork yourself like you usually do. We're almost to the throne room, if you need a break, just say it," he said to me.

I'm so confused. "W-What..." I mumbled. Who is this person? They feel so familiar to me but I...I clutched my head when it started hurting again and when I open my eyes, I see a blue sky and I'm laying on the ground. I see Nyara, Matt, and Tom hovering over me looking concerned with Riley, Sabrina, James, and Phil on their feet. I blink a few times to clear my vision, trying to figure out what exactly just happened.

I...I was something important...no, I was someone important. Royalty level important.

Nyara touched my cheek. "Hey, you awake?" she asked me. Tom and Matt help me sit up.

Tom looked at James. "I told you this was a bad idea, he passed out--"

I drowned out what they said, I was trying to figure out what I saw. That had to be some type of memories or flashbacks or whatever they are called. But where was it? I didn't see any distinctive landmarks or get any names. But I do know that there was an attack on a capital city and I was either defending or doing the attacking alongside some blonde royal. I couldn't tell if they were a mage or a human, but something is familiar about them. Also, the corpses...they...they didn't look human. They looked...hellish almost. Like they didn't come from the Overworld or something.

At least I got some answers, whatever I was doing, it had nothing to do with Mianite. But it was something that meant life or death of a kingdom.

But whose kingdom and why? And who was I helping? Who was the blonde royal?

I must have been in my own head longer then I thought because Tom gently shook me to get my attention. My eyes flickered up to him.

I saw him about to speak but he hesitated like he figured out what actually happened. "You remembered something...didn't you?" he asked me.

I nodded. "Y-Yeah..." I mumbled.

"What? What did you remember?" Phil asked me.

I hesitated, my hands gripping the grass a bit. "Have any kingdoms fallen recently?" I asked looking at the ground, staring at it.

"Not that I heard of," James answered.

I hesitated. If no kingdoms fell...that's means that I'm not really of this world but of another. "I...I remember fighting alongside some blonde hair royal in a city that was being attacked by monstrous creatures. It was either being attacked or we were attacking it. I don't know...I couldn't really tell. But either way...I think that's what I was doing before I turned up here," I told them. I looked at them, seeing their shocked expressions. My eyes soften at them. "I don't think I'm from Vienna," I said to them.

"A blonde hair royal...can you describe them?" Phil asked me.

"Um, he has blonde hair, golden eyes. He looked young, no older than me but he has a crown on his head. He might be a king or a prince, not sure," I answered her.

Riley shook his head. "No, that doesn't sound like the humans' King. What did the monsters look like?" he asked me.

I wince as my head started to hurt again, I touched my forehead, feeling lightheaded again. "I-I..." I mumbled before Nyara grabbed onto me keeping me from falling backward.

"Take it easy, Seto, you're gonna feel really lightheaded and dizzy for a while," she told me. I let out a shaky breath. I felt better laying on the ground honestly, but I rather just go lay in bed and sleep for a few hours. I let out a soft groan, I felt her arms go around me making me realize I fell against her chest. I put my hand on the ground, pushing myself to sit up straight so I wouldn't have to need support. If I just stay laying down or sitting for a while, I think I'll be fine.

My attention was pulled away from me when I saw that James step in front of me, his back to me. I looked at him, Phil moving beside James. What's going on?

Tom stood up, looking where James is facing. "What are you three doing here?" Tom asked. I noticed the defense in his voice, but I also noticed the protective stances that James, Phil, Tom, and Riley took in front of me. Why do they want to separate me so badly from whoever else it here?

"I told the Council I would handle this matter," James said to them.

"We know, but the Council wanted to make sure you aren't just making decisions based on the want to protect the wizard," they said.

I saw James' hands ball into fists. "Ahh, I get it now. The Council knows that I won't do what they tell me to do...I know people are scared because of Mianite, but I'll be damned before I let you all use Seto as some scapegoat. He's innocent," James stated. I could tell he was struggling to contain his anger, but I was confused. We've only just met not even an hour ago...why does he care so much?

I flinched when I saw one of the wizards cast a magic spell at James. James just deflected the spell, making it go flying to the right and hit the ground with a loud thud and the ground shaking upon impact. I froze, staring at James. I could sense something bad, and the clouds above are getting darker in color.

James lowered his arm. "I lost a lot of my patience over the last few days dealing with you Council members. So don't you dare test me, I'm not in the mood," James warned in a much darker tone than normal. Now I understand why people say that James can turn scary in just a moment. But despite James' warning, it seems the other mages are gonna attack him again.

Phil moved closer to James, looking ready to use his magic. Why is this happening? They shouldn't have to protect me!

"G-Guys--"

Tom looks at me. "Don't worry, Seto. Phil and James know what they are doing. They can protect themselves," Tom told me. I glanced at Tom. I still don't feel right about this. Sure I know that they are strong and stuff. But...what if they get hurt? I don't like the idea of them getting hurt because of me...because they are protecting me. I want to get up and stop this but I'm so lightheaded and dizzy that moving makes me feel really nauseous and weak. Matthew and Sabrina are holding me upright, keeping me from falling. Damn headache.

"You really want to get into a fight against us? You really want to play this game?" James asked with his arms crossed.

Phil smirked. "You want Seto, you'll have to get past us first. And we know you three are weak wizards compared to us," he said.

"You would sacrifice everything just for this wizard? You would tarnish your titles as Elites just to protect some criminal? That's low even for you two," one of the wizards said. I saw James step towards them.

"The fact all of the Elite wizards are protecting Seto from you all should really tell the Council something. We are protecting Seto because we all know why the Council really wants him. You all don't care whether or not if Seto had something to do with Mianite. You all only care about using him as a scapegoat. We don't know why Mianite is angry and we shouldn't do anything until we find out what actually happened. Until then, Seto will be protected by the Elites and if you touch him, Mianite's anger and the dark mages will be the least of your problems," James threatened. I froze, taking that all in. The Elites are protecting me? All of them? I mean...I'm happy about that but why? Is it because I have the power to be like them or just a sense of justice? Or is it because of what James told them?

I tried to speak, tried to stop this somehow but as I tried that, I also had tried to get to my feet and that was a big mistake. I got my right leg under me and that was all I could do.

My vision went black for a second and I collapsed into Sabrina's arms. I saw Nyara come to me, looking more concerned and worried then she did before. I closed my eyes, resting my head against Sabrina's shoulder as I felt the lightheadedness take over me. I really need sleep and I felt the exhaustion past over me.

I blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As many of you know and I've said, I was admitted to the hospital on Monday night. I was discharged Thursday and I am feeling better than I was Monday. I took those days to just rest and not do anything, so that helped a lot.

But I'm feeling well enough to write again.

But thanks for all the well wishes you guys!

My hiatus is over since I can't return to work for a week, so I need something to do. So I'll be writing a lot this coming week.

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! :)
