Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

The Carriages were lavish enough to put even the most gaudy of Wolfe's works to shame, with everything coated in precious metals and silks, but the suspension was an archaic double spring setup that left much to be desired.

"I take it that your people have developed magic into an entirely offensive direction? I don't see much sign of it around the city, which is a rather stark contrast to my home, especially given that your people do have powerful mages." Wolfe asked as they travelled.

The General laughed. "Our magic is so much different than yours that we could hardly call it the same art. Where we only use Holy Magic, granted to us through our faith in the Divine One, yours creates Elemental Barriers, makes plants grow, and allows you to fly in the most unnatural of ways."

Wolfe smiled. "The most natural, actually. My flight spell is a manipulation of Gravity. I remove my weight, and naturally, I will float away like a party balloon."

The laughter in the carriage helped them pass a few more blocks without any real questions, but eventually the General wanted to get down to business.

"The unique nature of your magic is the reason that we are here, actually. There was a theory that it was a combination of both Fae and Demonic Magic, and that it would have the strengths of both, like the ability to grow plants.

As you might have guessed, that sort of magic is insanely rare in our world, and we would like to arrange a deal to purchase some of it for the Royal Gardens, where the majority of the magical healing herbs for our armies are grown.

We won't ask for direct military aid, we are well aware that your Sect does not believe in that, and that you have a similar arrangement with the Demons, in that you do not attempt to help them when we raid their towns, unless you are personally there studying.

But with the dearth of regenerative magics, it is vital to our veterans that they have the ability to be properly treated when they return home. We have the healing light circles that we can use in combat, but they are limited in nature, and cannot regenerate limbs the way that the Demons can.

Even if the herbal poultices cannot either, they can at least increase the survival rate of our hospitals."

The General's heartfelt pleading for the wounded veterans of their ill-advised war was getting to Cassie and Ella. Stephanie was unfazed by such trivial pleading, she put on a better show to beg for sweets from Cook, but the Witches were touched by his concern for the people.

Wolfe considered the answer for a moment as the witches stared at him. "I think that we can arrange something, but as I won't allow it to be used in combat, I believe that enchanting the hospital itself would be the way to go.

However, nothing in life is truly free, and we have a little problem that you can help us with.

You see, there is a world full of mages that you have been instructing. Wonderful ability really, and somewhat similar to my own magic, in that it allows use of the Elements. One of my two youngsters on this trip has been trained in the technique.

However, they have become impertinent, and are attempting to attack our cities. We have set up a trial ground for them, a repeatable time looped test with rewards and challenges, but still, they persist in attempting to attack my world through other means, instead of being satisfied with the gifts that we have given them on arrival."

The General was stunned into silence.

"The Dungeon Spell, with the Feral Demons and Fae, and the beings of light, and the Tribulation tests. That was deliberate? You made that as a welcoming gift so that they wouldn't invade your cities searching for adventure and riches?" The Colonel stammered, already well aware that Wolfe's magic was far from normal.

"I had some assistance, of course. But yes, that is precisely what I have done, and they persist in trying to find ways around to attack my cities.

I do not wish to launch a retaliatory strike against them to put them back in their place, so if you could have your people speak to them and discourage such uncivilized behaviour, we can enchant a hospital for you.

Healing magic is the domain of these lovely ladies, you see. I have no talent at all for it." Wolfe agreed.

Ella nodded. "And we can't make a healing spell that will linger for years after we are gone without his assistance, so there is a balance there. But I do request that you not make a big deal of that at the event, or we will never manage to live a peaceful life here."

The General recovered his composure in time to answer. "Of course, Lady Noxus. We will remain quiet about the extent of your magic. Though it is no secret that someone in your group can cause plants to grow, so do expect some level of excitement, even if it is from the garden enthusiasts.

Not everyone will realize the potential of the spell as quickly as we did, so making hedges and flowers grow and bloom is likely to be the most popular request for the use of the spell."

Cassie and Ella smirked at each other. "I think that we can help them with some of that. Separate from the spell to make plants grow, there is one that will keep flowers in bloom perpetually. It's more commonly used on fruit trees so that they're always growing new fruits, but it would work wonderfully on a flower garden."

The General smiled at them. "You, my dears, will capture the heart of every spinster and Lord's wife from here to the coast with that spell. Flowers that always bloom would change the entire schedule of the garden parties, and put the lucky recipients under the most exalted light.

Even now, they are known to grow flowers in greenhouses and transplant them to the garden to extend the bloom duration through the dry season."
