"Dear, Lucid, have you done packing just yet?" A middle-age woman with maid clothes waited patiently in front of an oak door. She held a cape she made with a smile on her face, waiting for the person to come out of the room.
In this castle, which stood on top of a small land, people lived peacefully under the King's protection. The maids could chat with each other freely, and there's no bad rumours about the King or the Queen, or anyone here. They lived here with no urge to go out anywhere else, as the world outside seemed dangerous and brutal.
Murders. Robbery. Rape.
No one needs to experience that in this small land. But, of course. A young man is always curious about the world he'd never saw before. He would took any risk to get at least half of the way before. But right now, he's dead set on his destination. Lucid Naite, a mage who lived in the castle for twenty-six years now, read about the Pixie's temple who have a very, mysterious treasure. No one could set a foot there, and thus, no one could describe what kind of treasure that is. Well, valuable or not, if Lucid could see it with his own eyes, that would be enough.
With his fingers, he easily tied up his hair into a loose ponytail, letting the fiery red strands fell onto his clothed back as he let go of his grasp. His deep green colored eyes stared at his reflection at the mirror, and he sighed. This bright hair color always gave him a difficulty to blend in with the crowds. His red hair, came from the herbs he regularly consumed since he was a child. The herbs helped him to be immune to any mind-breaking spell or any poison that could led him to an instant death. He couldn't say that he's completely immune to some poison, since he never know what's out there. Oh, well, he could always learn while he's on his way.
Fixing his clothes for a bit, he finally prepared to go out. He took his spell book and placed it inside the leather bag, and then he went out. "Yes, I'm done. Thank you for waiting, Lucy." He smiled at the woman who waited for him outside. Lucy gestured to the cape, and he bend his body down for a bit so the elder woman could reach his height, to wrap the cape around his body. She doesn't really need to do that but, she saw Lucid as her son, and she really wants to spoil him before he go for God knows how long.
"Be safe on your journey, son." She ruffled Lucid's bangs gently, and the mage replied with a smile. He, then, stood straight and walked to the gate by the fountain. This gate was a one way teleportation device. From a castle, to a city at the next land. It would take few days to reach it by foot, so Lucid doesn't really want to take that much time to start with.
Then, he took out a transparent gem from his pocket. It shone for a few seconds, and then vaporized along with his body.
This marked the very beginning of his journey, to an unknown world.
