Kalin(Character Introduction)

Kalin was one of the first students to arrive at Maric but for him it couldn’t have been soon enough. Kalin being from Olical in the Middle Eastern area of the nine realms didn’t have far to travel to the Academy Island where Maric was located. Olical is a Queendom where the royalty and nobility where both ruled by female succession. Kalin’s family was renowned for their skills at support magic but their healing skills were by far the best in the nine realms. His mother was the Chief Advisor to The Queen of Olical just like his Grandmother was and just like one of his three sisters would be. Kalin’s Sisters hated him because he inherited his Mother’s talent for Support Magic and he could tell his Mother felt the same. Olical was strong because of its fertile soil and the strong backs of the male workers but The Queen and the female ruled nobility just continued to credit the Queendom’s support magic. Kalin often wondered how he could tell that when none of the supposedly highly educated nobility couldn’t.

Kalin use to run away from the castle and practice his healing magic on the sick and injured people in town. No one ever stopped him and even at a young age his healing magic was still stronger than almost anybody in the realm. He liked getting away from his mother and sisters plus he made lots of friends. The Sailors would buy him mugs of ale that he could hardly ever finish then tell him long and very descriptive tales of adventure and far off places. They were his real family and the only thing he would miss about Olical.

A year ago his mother told him her plan to send him away to school. She used her best attempt at a convincing voice and told him about all the opportunities the school would provide and even said how he would be useful to the Queendom. She went down her list of reasons but Kalin knew that she just didn’t want him there and was surprised that she even took the time to explain it herself. So he trained a few of the kids in town on how to use healing magic and even though they wouldn’t be able to deal with anything serious, they could handle anything else. Then he turned fifteen and left for school.

Now Kalin was laying on one of the two small beds in the tiny room that he would call home for the next four years. His roommate Lee had been a really nice guy and strangely reminded him of the sailors from Olical. Nothing like what he had expected from the preppy school for the children of nobles. Even the small rooms you had to share. He couldn’t see any noble or better yet royalty sharing a room no matter how big. Well except him and apparently his roommate….

Kalin hopped out of bed at the sound of the outer room’s door clicking open. As he stepped out of his room into the living room/kitchen he saw professor Gem leading a guy around his age into the room. The guy had an emotionless face that had a mysterious and dangerous edge to it. Top Class Support Mages could read the auras of both friends and enemies, which was another talent he had inherited from his mother. So Kalin could see immediately that the guy was strong. His aura was large and glowing an extremely bright gold. The Professors gave off a similar feeling but with them you could tell they had already hit there magical peek while this guy made you wonder just how strong he could become. The guy held out his hand and smiled before saying with an almost intimidating coolness “Nice to meet you I’m Navi.” Kalin took his hand, smiled, and replied “I’m Kalin nice to meet you.”
