The Age of Magic: Chapter 1: Enter Magic[O/Not Accepting]

Story Mode


The three friends reached the airport and got through with minimal problems. They were seated together in first class as the tickets were for such. The Ride to New York was long, but uneventful. After the trip, they friends were able to get all of there things and were now at the bottom of the Empire State Building.

Serah was glad to be off the plane. She didn't have a fear of flying or anything, but she really just wanted to be here. First Class was amazing though. Wine, great food, and bed seats. It was amazing. She would never be able to fly the same way again. She smirked, relishing the thought that she may never have to fly in a plane again. With magic, she would be capable of doing anything. Nothing wold be beyond her grasp. She took a deep breath and looked to the top of the empire state building. She let out a low whistle. "That is a long way up." There was a huge line as well. It seemed they were no the first to be here. There were still people showing up with there bags and packs too. She dragged Shilga and Dylan along by the hand towards the line.

She harumphed when they got into line. "Just look at this! This is gonna take forever.." she groaned with distaste. She was getting very impatient. All she wanted to do was get to the top and see what was in store for them. "We made it here, but now we have to wait, again!" She threw her hands up in the air and puffed out her cheeks.

Second time being in first class, it was definitely a cool thing to be there. Of course, she was still shocked that Serah had wine when she was clearly two years below twenty-one, and Shilga was not the one to break the law so she just got herself a regular Dr.Pepper and she was happy along with the great food. Getting off she could hear her friend whistle staring at something off the distance. Shilga tried to see what she was looking at to see it was the Building they needed to go to. "Looks like a pencil." She said out of nowhere as she knew they had to go there. Being a bit of a drive that meant they would need the cab or something so with that Serah dragged them down to which she gasped. "I can walk!" She gasped as they were dragged to the baggage claim to get their stuff.

They soon got a ride which was from 'Nico'. Shilga felt antsy since she did not want to sit for such a long time but they had to. Upon arriving to the State building there was already a line full of people, and Serah did not appreciate it. Shilga then went through her phone and on it created a bit of noise. "I have my phone here for a reason." She then got the app 'Heads up' open on her phone. "Wipe the pout off your face, I got a game set up. We just can't do the charade deck for obvious reasons." She then got out the Disney Deck which would be easy to go through but it was common knowledge they would all know...or so Shilga assumed anyways.

The plane ride was long, but it was alright for him. Great food and sodas. His taste for alcohol wasn't there just yet and well he would like to keep it that way for now. He was about to meet Nico and study magic. Can't do that intoxicated. Dylan was able to relax on the plane ride. Once to the building, he was dragged by Serah to the line and stood behind the girls.

For that time he followed them. "Mmm you would think they had us a private staircase or elevator for us. I am sure Nico would understand this though."

With a giggle and a bounce in her step, she quickly snatched Shilga's phone and started to play with her. Hours passed by like this, the line slowly moving forward. The weirdest part was that many of the same people that went up, also came back down on the other elevators. She stared at some of them quizzically until she worked on the nerve to ask one of them what the deal was. It was a young boy, no older then them with raven black hair, lean build, and a jutting forehead. "There is a note upstairs. No one has had the balls to do it yet though. I know I can't...you'll see soon enough." Serah turned her head in puzzlement. A note? She asked a few more people, but they all answered about the same. None of them gave any type of specifics. By the time they had finally reached the elevators themselves she sighed in relief.

"I don't know what to think about this. What could make so many people turn away from the prospect of learning magic? It would have to be pretty bad for so many to turn back. That has to be at least 30 of them by now who have come back down. Some of them weren't even that far ahead of u. What do you guys think the note says?" She had been thinking about it for the remaining time, but now she was too giddy to keep thinking about it. hey were almost at the top.

As they played with the phone, all of them eventually got up the elevator. The people coming down that had a note up there made her curious. So once they got in she shrugged. "Probably something like Magic is not a game, and has a lot of responsibility....or some sort of test to to the point we would've said 'screw you' or something." She crossed her arms as they were in the elevator. She will have to remember to charge her phone tonight as the Heads Up game took a lot of battery power from her phone. "Well, let's just find out and see what happens."

Dylan raised his eye brow at the note and looked at the girls. What kind of note? He listened out when Serah asked about it, but nothing. He did sigh in relief as well and held his suitcase in one hand and took out his phone, texting his mother to make sure she knew they arrived just fine. She texted back not long after that.

"My mother says hello and hope you two are doing okay." He tucked his phone back into his pants pocket. "Yes, we will see what is going on ourselves. We got his far, I am not giving up.

As the friends reached the top of the building and headed towards the front, there was a ring of people around the edge where a note was placed. The people up top were whispering nervously to each other. Some were just crying while others seemed to be having some sort of nervous break down. The note simply stated, "For whoever takes the leap of faith, power shall be granted upon thee" Most people knew exactly what it meant. Leap of the top and believe something will happen besides death.

Serah shoved her way through the crowd, puling Shilga and Dylan along with her. Once they reached the note, she fingered the words and read it aloud to them. "For whoever takes the leap of fath, power shall be granted upon thee." She looked over the edge of the empire state building and back to the people behind her. It was obvious no one was going to do this. But this was just a test, it had to be. She had spent a lot of her life studying Nico and what he believed. She put her hand up to her chin thinking. She pulled back her hair after a few moments and pulled her pack and bag on tight.

"The meaning behind his is obvious. If this is a trap or something doesn't work out. I just want to let you two both know that I love you." Her eyes remained on their faces. "More than you think as well...." She took a long breath and climbed up onto the edge. People were screaming at her to get down and told her she was crazy. Someone tried to come up and pul her down but she simply pushed them off and shrugged the comments off. She looked down and smiled. She took a step off and fell downwards into the abyss. Halfway down she completely disappeared.

For her everything went black for a moment. She was dead, she had to be. She had made a mistake and was paying the price for it. She opened her eyes and her jaw dropped. What lay in front of her was more amazing than anything she could of ever imagined. Nico smiled at her and bowed. "Welcome to Highmaul. You are the first to pass my test." He gave her a big smile.

Her eyes widened as she could see that the note meant jump to her death. "We-We are expected to do that?!" She was shaking out of pure fear. As she could see Serah saying her 'last words' before jumping. She too was screaming as she got to where she jumped from to try to find her friends but she couldn't see. She was trembling as she stared at Dylan. She then let out her hand. "W-Well...Dylan, if we have to jump...In case we....we...die.....god....I want to at least have a comforting hand while doing so." She was crying full of tears as her will to live was so strong, she did not want to jump but it seemed like they had no choice....or did they?

Dylan's eye widen as he saw Serah jump off the ledge. He almost screamed but he couldn't. He set down his bag and grabbed Shilga into a hug. "Shilga, it's fine. We are going to be okay." Dylan then let his hands rest on her upper arms. "We will be fine." He then wiped her tears from her face with the side of his hand. He then let one hand grab his bag and the other held Shilga's hand. He then took a deep breath and looked at Shilga before nodding. When she was ready, he jumped, holding onto her hand and his bag tightly.

She was shocked when she was pulled into a hug like that, but in a way it helped make things a bit better. She would never be ready for the jump but of course, thanks to Dylan's comfort and support they both lifted their feet and down they went, down to where the sidewalk would be. She had one hand on Dylan's and the other on her pocket to which held to her headphones and phone as it held more memories than people would expect from such things. Her eyes were closed, braced for the pain that could come to them. I am so sorry Ma...Pa...Imma be dead and you will never know why

As the friends took the leap, one by one they were transported to another realm. They had passed the first test. Nico stood there, leaning on his staff with a smirk on his face. He clapped his hands as the three appeared in front of him. "I must say. You three are either very brave, or very stupid. Or also very lucky." He gave a light chuckle and seemed to look up at the sky for a few moments before clicking his tongue and returning his gaze to the three friends in front of him. "I am impressed you three made it. Welcome to High Maul. Before I go any further, allow me to introduce myself. I am Nicodemus Arvias. Welcome to Elleria, my sanctuary." He waved a hand and suddenly the illusion disappeared. All around them gave way for a snowy exterior. They were high up in the mountains. Higher than even Everest itself. But the air was very breathable. It tasted crisp, cool, clear.....

Behind Nico lay the peak of the mountain, where a giant monastery that covered at least 15football fields wide was bound. "This is where you will stay. But forgive me. We will need to wait a bit longer to see if anyone else will be joining us before we depart. Also, hold off on all questions you have as well. Everything will be answered once everyone has arrived." One thing the friends would notice, Nico was far younger now, than he was 12 years ago. But it was definitely him.

Serah continued to gape a Nico. She had no idea how to react. There he was, in the flesh. She couldn't tell right away, but something was off about him. It was then her friends appeared, barelling straight into her and causing a huge mess. "Ow!" She stood up and brushed herself off, helping them up afterwards. "Sorry if I scared you guys. I just knew this was the right thing to do." She looked to the two sheepishly, Nico observing them. She grabbed her things and gave a light bow before Nico. "My name is Serah sir. It's such an honor to meet you."

It was then Nico spoke to them. "Elleria? I remember you finding a new region and seceding from the rest of the world. Elleria is a fitting name. As is High Maul." Then Nico waved his hands and everything truly appeared. Serah walked in circles, taking everything in "This place is beautiful." It was then that it hit her. "My god. You're so young. You look to be our age but I know you for a fact to be of at least 62."
