The Wiz
Chapter 1

Camoline sat leaning under the fruitful apple tree. He kept a brown leather-bound book that he found last night. Actually, not coincidentally, this book on his lap he found. Because in fact, this book is one of the collections owned by his father who is a High Professor in the Central Library of the City. A place where thousands and even more books are located. And to get a position like his father is the hardest thing. Not everyone can get that title.

And this book, this is a book in his father's office at home. The room could be said to be the City Center Library in a smaller version. Almost all the books in her father's room had Camoline read. But secretly. He still feels awkward when asking permission to borrow his father's collection directly. Including with the book on his lap at the moment. A book that explains how to find out the basic elements that a person has without being helped by others. Camoline was very curious since she saw the cover of this book alone.

He was curious about the elements he had. Although his father had the light element, Camoline never felt that his power would be similar to his father's. Although rare, but it is not unusual anymore if a child has elements that are far different from those of both parents. Therefore, this book will really answer questions that have been very disturbing for this week.

It opened slowly, pages per page of the book. Until, his hand stopped moving the courtyard when he saw a spell that was so foreign in his eyes. He really just saw a spell in this book. Read the page well, about the steps to know the elements that are owned quickly and safe enough for a beginner.

After a poultice outside his head, Camoline removed the book from his lap. He straightened his body properly, then cleared his mind. He had already memorized as much as he could about the spell in the courtyard. I hope he doesn't make any mistakes today. Because, it will be terrible later.

"Oscail an geata" muttered Camoline with her eyes tightly closed. Exhaling slowly, Camoline began to open her eyes. Simultaneously, he was amazed by the movement of plant tendrils that began to entangle him. Camoline kept trying to stay calm, not wanting to cause a huge mess in someone else's apple orchard. The tendrils stopped moving after forming a shield in front of Camoline. Apparently, the tendril of the plant just tied his hands weakly.

The smile of the black haired girl rose, when she realized, if the element she mastered was plants. Slowly, he started to move his hand. And surprisingly, the plant moved according to the movement of his hands. Making the smile on Camoline's face wider. Unexpectedly, the element he had at the moment. Despite falling into the category of weak elements, Camoline did not care about it. Most importantly, he was very happy after knowing this.

Refocusing on his little-known new powers, Camoline got rid of all the plants before her. He was not sure where the tendrils of this plant came from. Hence, he simply removed the vines from the surroundings just like that. Afterwards, Camoline got up from her seat while carrying the leather-bound book. He patted the brown dress slowly, before walking out of Aunt Joarn's apple plantation.

Being too happy, Camoline forgot the main reason why she came to this place. He completely forgot. This book in his arms, too tempting to read immediately. Which made him forget something. Inwardly, Camoline hoped that what she had forgotten was not very important.

Aunt Joarn's Apple Plantation is quite extensive. The area, even to the point of approaching the border forest. In this plantation, not only are found fresh red apples that grow along the eye of the eye. However, some plant and animal fairies will look busy around the tree. It wasn't Aunt Joarn who hired those little fairies. Rather, those elves who were indeed always suddenly appeared in a place that they thought was right to stay.

Every now and then, Camoline smiled as some of them flew around her. Due to frequent visits, the fairies became no stranger to the presence of Camoline. It could be said, just smelling the scent alone, they could recognize when it was Camoline.

After walking down the outer path one way, Camoline finally arrived in front of the way in and out of this plantation. Her footsteps came to a halt when she saw Aunt Joarn —, who turned her back to her, was chatting with a young man dressed in noble clothes. Camoline's steps came to a halt, right behind Aunt Joarn. He stared fixedly at the clothes the red-haired man was wearing. No stranger in Camoline's eyes, but she still doubts her memory.

"That's how it is" Camoline replied. Back, his eyes stared at the young man's clothes once in a while. He clearly seems curious.

"Include him, he is Prince Londer, of the Chromos clan. Sir, let's introduce him as Camoline Laufie, my niece," Aunt Joarn said. The two people immediately bowed respectfully.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Camoline."

"It's an honor to meet you, Prince Londer."

Aunt Joarn smiled with satisfaction. Before, the frown on his forehead was deep when he noticed a book in Camoline's arms. He really just realized it. Back, he looked at Camoline questioningly. Being stared at so, made Camoline become misbehaved. He was worried about something he could not know.

"That's... Book from where?" Camoline blinked once in her eyes. She was so grateful that Aunt Joarn didn't realize that the book in her hand belonged to her father's collection.

"I borrowed it from someone. Aunt, thank you for letting me go to the Apple plantation again. I'll be home early today" Camoline said with a smile. Aunt Jearn just nodded. She let Camoline walk away from her plantation.

Camoline stepped lightly. The news of his strength earlier, he wanted to tell his father immediately. He could have told Aunt Joarn earlier. However, he felt less sure about it. Therefore, he did not say anything about what had happened earlier on the plantation. Well, although Aunt Joarn would have asked if she saw a pile of plants that suddenly disrupted the cleanliness of her garden.

After a few meters away from Aunt Joarn and Londer, Camoline's body twirled slightly to stare back at them. More precisely towards Londer. At the same time, the young man also seemed to be watching himself. The thing that makes the Camoline smile rise even though it is only thin. One thing that made Camoline curious about the young man's figure was the scent coming out of the man's body.

A matcha?
