Arkali Elven: The Hidden Chapters: Chronicle IX: Aranel of the Sea Kingdom: Prologue & Chapter 1

Prologue

 

It was summer 198AD when Aranel first realized he could breathe underwater. His life seemed that it would certainly become much more interesting. He could go down to meet the people of the oceans or go the deepest underwater without using magic. Yes, he was a son of a Wizard, Captain Seaber Veelisk. But he had grown up without any magic. He had hoped that he would get magic on his 14th birthday which was when you could initiate learning magic. But now, he did not care about getting magic. He had a cooler power. Going under Water.  

 

Chapter 1   

 

The freezing water had become more natural. At least for a third of the day, he was in the water. But then, one day, his father got ill with Arumenoa, a brain infection caused by Aru wolves' toxin. So Aranel searched the castle library to help his father. He found the book he wanted- medicinal plants for animal poison. He searched the page for Aru wolves. It said the Aglen plant that was only in the deep down of seas 500m (about twice the height of the Empire State Building) below sea level could heal Aru Wolves. The Aglen plant could only survive with the coolness and hotness of the magma and sea. So Aranel dived towards the depths of the great sea. As he had now tasted Iligi plants - sea plants of food, he had no requirement of food. What he could see was the wonderful creatures knowing each other's as equals, great spurts of lava bursting out of cracks in the ground and humpback whales with coral on their backs. But down he went in search of the Aglen. 

Look out for the next chapters in the coming week!
