Preface

The tools are four, and the third is the crystal.

The crystal is blue and the base is its sister.

The base is the key, but the key is locked

The key of the key is the solution, to find the non-existent

The hidden needs energy, and energy can be brought

The secret is the color, and the heart is at the bottom's center.

It was in a far-distant, ancient time; when dragons were pet creatures, and half of the earth was still undiscovered. On one of the moderately-cold autumn days, the sky was fairly clear, interspersed with some gray clouds, the dry leaves of peach, berries, and apple trees were falling in contrasting colors inside the yard of the Baysendel family’s house in the kingdom of magic.

With a high chimney and antique-brown walls that are inadvertently decorated with the climbing vines of the green trees, the Baysendel family’s house is located in the Kingdom of Magic. It was just like every house in the kingdom; simple, beautiful, and different from the other kingdoms.

Introduction

image-placeholder

Sureb is the last remnant of the original Baysandel family; being pure from a father and a mother from the same family, and so is his wife Miro. That is why their family was proud that they are the only ones who still have the abilities of the original Baysandel family; which is to predict future events. This family consists of the short and thin Sureb with a very long mustache, and his wife Miro, who loves Jianan, her only daughter, very much, and treats her like a big treasure. Jianan is tall, taller than her parents. And does not look like them; she is beautiful, she inherited the ginger-red, short hair from her mother, and has green eyes. She is twenty-seven years old, modest, and had developed her abilities differently from her parents.

On this quiet day, Sureb was in a deep sleep. When he suddenly got up very quickly from his wooden bed, which was covered with golden linens. And sat down for seconds trying to remember the vision he had seconds ago while he was asleep. He, surely, was able to distinguish between ordinary dreams and visions. He believed that dreams were gloomy and troubling unlike the visions that were bright and clear, and when one comes to him, he immediately knows that it is not just a dream.

When his mind was finally able to build the vision that came to him a little while ago, he opened his mouth in terror. He got up from the bed screaming and calling his wife to bring him his clothes. The latter was sitting with her green magical wool, which knits itself alone; she only has to grasp the knitting needles. She did not pay much attention to her husband's call until he returned to shout again, saying, I have seen a vision that requires going to King Gonal, bring my formal clothes immediately!

Miro threw the needles from her hand and went up the stairs of her modest wooden house very quickly until she reached the attic, in which she hung clean clothes and opened the windows so that the sunlight reaches the clothes. She brought her husband the formal suit; white trousers, a white shirt as well, a golden tie, and golden long shoes. The Kingdom of Magic wore white as the main color of the formal dress, combining with it any color that they wanted, however, gold was their favorite right after white.

When Sureb finished getting dressed, he ran out and walked through the iron gate, which made an enormous creak. In a great hurry, he mounted his vast black horse and set off quickly to the palace of the King of the Magic Kingdom.

He finally reached the grand palace, which is not much different than the other houses of the Magic Kingdom except that it was four times larger than the rest of them. He approached the gate that he always came to. The guards were accustomed to seeing him, as he brought many of the future events of his visions here previously.

The guards brought him in and he immediately started rushing towards the significant inner iron gate of the palace. The guards of this gate also brought him in, and one of them escorted him to the main hall in which King Gonal always sits.

Sureb approached the king; he, also, is very thin, with a long face full of wrinkles, and with long white hair reaching his shoulders. At that time, he had already started having his luxurious lunch with his son Mekelo on the rectangular wooden table. In front of them, was a variety of various dishes, and in the middle of the room, there were columns and statues carved in various golden shapes.

Sureb stood quite a little until the lean king noticed him and said to him, Welcome, Sureb, what vision is it that brought you today? Come join us. As you can see, it is just me and Mekelo, Zinoures has gone out for hunting as usual.

In a great panic, Sureb said to him, Your Majesty, the King, I thank you very much, and I hope that your son returns safely. He caught his breath and said in nervousness, This vision is not like the previous ones. It is completely different; it may carry events that ravage the stability of the kingdom and the whole empire. The King looked at him in surprise and with some concern, he said to him, What is the matter, Sureb? Say what you have quickly!

Sureb began reciting to King Gonal what he saw while sleeping.

The Great Mamara

image-placeholder

The great empire of Mamara is one of the three primary and massive empires of this era, located in the southeast, and a considerable distance separates it from the frozen empire of Sora, which is located in the far north, and the Empire of Torious, which is located in the far west.

There are also many small states that are distributed in different places. Still, these three empires are in the constant competition considering their size, their power, and their war equipment, and that precisely what makes them the three main empires. However, Mamara has a lot of what these two do not, and it also has the Five Kingdoms.

The borders of the empire of Mamara are more of what looks like a large, huge circle whose top is unfinished on the northern side due to the presence of Tenzenro glacier mountain range. Meanwhile, outside these borders, are the large, broad forests of Pathro surrounding Mamara on all sides except the northern side. On the edge of this forest, there are many large lakes and small waterfalls as well.

Mamara is separated from these forests by a giant and very long wall, reaching a length of one hundred and sixty-five feet. This wall is called the external borders of Mamara, and at the top of the wall, are the five resonant towers, which rise another thirty-six feet above the giant wall.

The outer circle is divided into five divisions, with small borders separating them called the lateral borders. Its purpose is to be separations between the Five Kingdoms of Mamara.

These side borders end and meet, with a complete circle within the large incomplete circle. This small circle is surrounded by a wall as well, called the inner border, which surrounded the emperor’s ivory-pearl palace, and its squares, gardens, and a lot of other places. It can, somehow, be considered a sixth kingdom, in which the emperor who rules all these kingdoms lives in. Still, nevertheless, it is called the emperor's district and is not classified as a sixth kingdom.

Between the emperor's district and the rest of the kingdoms, there are internal borders with five internal gates, which makes it a transit station between each kingdom and this district. The same case goes with the side borders which have side gates between the neighboring kingdoms and each other. Finally, the five outer gates, which are between each kingdom and the external borders becoming a way for them to the outside of Mamara.

As for the five kingdoms, they are the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Ice, the Kingdom of Metal, and finally the Kingdom of Magic. Each kingdom has its own king and its distinct ruling family with abilities that differ from the rest of the other kingdoms, and each one of them has its own nature as well.

Mamara and these kingdoms were built nearly a hundred and eighty years ago by the first six. They have remained in complete harmony with each other to this day.

Mamara thrives in internal and external trade. Each kingdom has its own craft, which it trades with other kingdoms and they also export it abroad. For this, the economy of Mamara was thriving and all of its people were self-sufficient, and the kingdoms' rulers were known for their great justice and compassion.

As for the person who rules them all, he is the absolute emperor, chosen from the ruling Balgo family, which ruled for many generations. They inherited their great weapon among each other; the Spear of Adasia, the most powerful weapon that Mamara possesses.

The Five Kingdoms

image-placeholder

To begin with, the emperor's district, located almost in the middle of all kingdoms, consists of the ivory palace, the largest and most important palace among all the kings' palaces. For this is where all their meetings and their most important conversations take place, and there the emperor lives.

The district also contains the Thunder Building, spacious gardens, the Grand Market, the tombs of the emperor's family, the tombs of the Five Kings' families, the famous pomegranate farms, and homes, away from the palace, for the farmers and their families.

As for the emperor's current family, it consists of Emperor Julian, his wife Teneria, his son Lucasius, and his daughter Lonia.

The ruling regime in Mamara is all hereditary, the Crown Prince inherits the governance key after his father or brother's death.

Fire

The Kingdom of Fire is located southwest of the emperor's district. It is famous for the manufacture of maple syrup, due to the presence of many maple trees in it, and also famous for its high-quality wood, due to the presence of a dense forest inside the kingdom, with hundreds of pine, oak, and hazel trees. That is why their houses are wooden, crimson-yellow as the color of fire. These houses surround the palace of King Mammalian, the Great King of Fire.

King Mammalian is a huge, shaven-headed man, with a thick mustache, a beard of orange sunset color, and blue eyes. He lives in the royal palace, which was wooden and reinforced with steel from the kingdom of metal.

The palace is brown in color, different from the colors of the kingdom’s houses, very large, and smelling like new wood. He lives there with his family which consists of his brother Rinson, his brother’s wife, and their daughter Seel. The wife of the King of Fire and his three children, Marco, Lers, and Jorgo also live there. This royal family is called the family of the fire; Zandaria.

In the kingdom of fire, there is also a very large sandy area surrounded by walls of black basalt stone, the length of it is the half-length of the outer wall and it is adjacent to it. There, they place their rare magical creatures. Also, beside it, a training arena for the army of the kingdom of fire which is slightly smaller. This kingdom is the strongest among the rest of the kingdoms because, in addition to their huge army, they also had absolute control over fiery creatures, such as, dragons, which are huge creatures whose bodies are covered in scaly skin and have four scaly legs and bat-like wings that blow fire from their mouths.

Also, the Cheockatle creatures, which are giant snakes. Their bodies are made of coal and fire, and they have an upturned snout, they breathe fire through openings from every part of their body.

Despite the large sizes of these creatures and how dangerous they are, the ruling family members of the Kingdom of Fire, Zandaria family, can fully control them. The kingdom's emblem is a red flag, and in the middle, is a drawing of a dragon's face in black.

Ice

The Kingdom of Ice is located in the northern part of the emperor's district, bordered on the back by the gray, icy Tenzenro mountain range, with charming houses made from stones and shiny glass that sparkle like diamonds when the sun shines on them; a scene that amazes everyone who sees them.

They are all located behind the king's stone palace, which is also made of stone and glass, covered inside with gray fur, built in shape similar to a great pyramid with a flat top. There, lives the ruling family of the Kingdom of Ice, the Itshica family. They consist of the King of Ice; Shigon, famous for his cold features, tall but not giant, with shiny black hair and two sharp, brown eyes. The king was the only son of his family. He had no siblings, only his wife, his daughter Marian, and his two sons; Kaien and Swarso.

Just like its name, the Kingdom of Ice is very cold, unlike the rest of the kingdoms. This is because of the presence of the Tenzenro mountains, which is what the creator of the Kingdom of Ice had planned from the beginning. This empowers their abilities; for the ruling family can create ice and they also used to make snow in all its forms. They can also control the Witchgaey creatures, which resemble wolves but are three times larger, with the sea's color at its most profound depth and thick icy hair at their necks like a lion's hair. They are powerful and deadly with their long, sharp fangs.

The Kingdom also has many large ice arenas in the mountains in which they train on fighting techniques and also train the Witchgaey creatures. Thus, they are the most extensive and the mightiest competitors to the Kingdom of Fire in terms of power and control over these brutal creatures.

Marian, the king's daughter, is the only one who has the rare ability to create pearly ice; a very rare type of ice, which is considered twice as stiffer and colder than regular ice and did not melt until thirty days after creating it. The Kingdom of Ice is famous for its glass industry, as the mountain of Tenzenro is filled with silica stone and limestone as well, and they excel in forming, pouring, and blowing into it. They are also the first source of ice with their ice furnace, a stone building in the shape of a dome covered from the inside by an intense layer of ice made by the king’s daughter pearly ice. Placed in it, large ice blocks and huge pearly ice tanks to be transported to the rest of the kingdoms.

There are many beautiful types of flowers in the Kingdom, such as the pansies of different colors. There, also, exist, the triple petals; yellow, white, and purple, which are used in many fields, one of them is the production of honey with different flavors. The kingdom is the second focus of attention in Mamara after the Kingdom of Magic, for the beauty of its glasshouses and its glacial lakes.

It is a beautiful station that everyone always comes to. Their emblem is a blue flag, and in the center of it, a white snowflake, shining in the sunlight and glittering in great beauty.

Wind

The Kingdom of Wind, the strangest and the smallest of kingdoms, is located in the northwest of the emperor's district. Its houses are designed in a very extraordinary and clever way. Unfortunately, there is nothing in this kingdom except sand, and that is why building on it was difficult, and the sand was very troubling.

That is what made its residents build their homes in a way that nobody could think of; that is by shifting the sand until they reached the rocks. Then, they constructed very tall stone towers on this solid ground, cylindrical in shape with large windows, and inside these towers, they built bungalows that were divided evenly inside these towers. Inside them was a spiral staircase that was long enough to reach the top of that tower, where there was a large door leading to the internal hanging stone bridges that they use to go through to each other.

Later, due to the severity of the overcrowding of these bridges, they built bridges underneath them, so there were upper and lower bridges connected with each other by a small staircase, until they became like a hanging maze, in which only those who lived in it knew their way between them.

It was fortunate for them that they did so because over time since its construction, the normal sand surrounding them from the front, which they had left without displacement, turned into quicksand due to the presence of many water springs between them. Nevertheless, they built a ground boundary so that this sand does not come close to the solid ground on which their homes were built. The quicksand became like a sand trench that surrounded the kingdom from the front, and the width of this trench is about three hundred and twenty-eight feet.

Also, they built the outer bridge to form a passage over this quicksand, which was a stone bridge, but at the end of it there was a movable wooden bridge, and it is always folded, they only extend it when someone wants to exit the kingdom. This bridge ends with the outer tower; the tower that is located at the kingdom's external gate. Inside the tower, there is a spiral staircase to reach down to land, specifically to the outer gate that leads out of Mamara.

Despite their fear of this quicksand that it might reach them, they knew that it was in their favor, as it became one of the most potent unintended defenses they have. That information is very confidential, that is why most of the people who see it think it is ordinary sand, or if someone tries to enter the kingdom, he drowns in it. So, the sand matter remains a secret until today.

The kingdom is very beautiful, and it is also very powerful. It has many battle arenas built in it and they are built in a way that differs from the houses, for in the battle arenas, the towers are the bases for a large stone arena with a high wall. The people of the Kingdom of the Wind are known for their remarkable ability to use different weapons and their great fighting strength.

The ruling family of the Kingdom of the Wind is the Agamion family. Its members have the power to control winds, form hurricanes and tornadoes. They live in a large stone fortress built on a number of ten stone bases that are very high in the middle of the Kingdom of Wind. The ruling family consists of King Grover, medium in height with very short, light brown hair and gray eyes. He is not muscular at all but is a normal man with a normal structure. He has two brothers; Toubro and Nescon, and each one of them has one son, the son of Toubro was Dort, the son of Nescon is Locke. Finally, his wife, who is a witch who he married from the Kingdom of Magic, specifically from the family of Tredacko, and his children, Nisula and Almir, were appointed to the position of the emperor’s advisor for his great intelligence.

The Kingdom of Wind is also known for many of its members' intelligence, which made most of the advisors of the Great Mamara rulers chosen among them.

However, due to its sandy environment, the kingdom is not known except for the manufacture of weapons from iron and steel taken from the kingdom of metal, and that is for their great experience in using them, so they became the first supplier of the entire empire of combat weapons. Their emblem was a yellow flag with a drawing of a brown hanging bridge which represents their kingdom.

Metal

As for the Kingdom of Metal, it is ruled by a powerful family called Doriam, who are characterized by the bad temper that prevents them from controlling their feelings. They can form iron and steel and create them by hand. The family consists of King Silvan; strong and huge, also with a medium beard and black hair intertwined with gray hair, and his eyes are very dark black. He has no siblings, only his wife, and three sons; Sush, Lizya, and William. William is the only one who has the ability to create the black steel, which is a very rare type of steel, and it is much harder as well.

As for the rest of the people of the Kingdom of Metal, they have the great physical strength and a very huge structure, which made them always on the front lines in the wars that Mamara had fought in the past.

The Kingdom of Metal is located in the northeast of the emperor's district. Everyone gets confused with its harsh metallic appearance. People around them previously opposed the idea of their homes being built of steel because of its shortcomings, such as absorbing the sun's rays and emitting the permanent metal smell. Still, they never listened to anyone and they usually did what is on their minds.

They built those steel houses, which some might believe that they look like prisons because of their strange architecture. They are domed and had cylindrical arms from everywhere, and tiny windows fronted with iron bars.

There are many battle arenas for training. And the palace of the ruling family is located in the very center of the kingdom. It is very large and built from steel as well, but in a slightly different way, as it was square-shaped with a high dome, without the arms or the bars.

The Kingdom of Metal is also famous for its production of different kinds of metal for its ruling family's ability, as they can create a lot of iron and steel. They are considered the only source of iron and iron utensils in Mamara entirely, for their hobby is to form metal. That is why a large building was built, and they called it the tools building. They also have farms that are shared with the Kingdom of Magic, in which chickens and cows are raised. Their emblem is a black flag, with iron bars in bright silver.

Magic, its Beginning and its Kingdom

image-placeholder

Since the beginning of magic, and hundreds of years before Mamara, wizards used to form an assembly of their own despite the human knowledge of their existence. Nevertheless, the wizards’ assembly was completely isolated from humans, as they did not like to mingle with them and considered themselves higher creatures and purer than them.

This assembly consisted of several magical families, many of them. Still, as each assembly has its lords, so was the assembly of magic, as it had the seven prominent families. They were the ones who managed and organized this unique society.

They were chosen from among all the other families for three reasons. The first reason is being large in number, as they were huge families and occupied entire villages by themselves. The second reason is the seven abilities that belonged to each family alone and that no one else could possess.

Finally, other than their strong abilities, their unlimited strength is supported by the strange and rare spells that they developed with caution and brilliance from the forty original spells of magic, known to all. They also taught in a language that no one else understood; the ancient language of magic, which had been forgotten by everyone, except for these families.

The seven families are:

The Minorah family and their power is to take control of the mind.

The Baysendel family, and their ability to see the future.

The Lesorne family, with their ability to reverse spells on whoever cast it.

The Montorio family, which has the ability to disappear.

The Gronadry family, with their ability of instant teleportation.

The Tredacko family, and their ability to throw toxic and paralyzing gases.

Finally, the Strovany family, which can talk to all the animals and creatures.

These families were very strong, however, after a long time, they all separated and divided for many reasons. The first to separate from this assembly of magic was the Minorah family, and the reason for their separation was that they joined Mamara, led by the wizard Treslan, who was one of the first creators of Mamara itself.

After that, the Baysandel family followed them, their social status, somehow diminished in the assembly of magic for many reasons, and for this, they followed the Minorahs to the empire of Mamara. When other small families heard about the moving of the big families, they followed them, and since that time, these families have grown. Their ties, their affinity, and their love for each other have grown as well, thus, forming a large and interconnected kingdom called the Kingdom of Magic in the Empire of Mamara. The Minorahs were the ruling family of this kingdom.

The Kingdom of Magic is located in the southeast of the emperor's district. It is a large forest whose houses are scattered everywhere, isolated from each other by dense trees. Still, their houses had their own beauty with their tall chimneys and aged brownstones punctuated by the trees' branches, making it look like a painting of an artist who has immersed in its magic.

The ruling family; Minorah, consists of King Gonal, his wife, their three sons, Zinoures, Mekelo, and Camilla. Also, there is the veteran witch Henra.

Henra is nearly one hundred and thirty years old, she is the granddaughter of the founder of the Kingdom of Magic, King Treslan. Henra is famous for performing many spells developed in the ancient language of magic. She also brilliantly speaks this language as she learned it from her father, who learned it from his father; Treslan. Still, she was the only one of the family that knew it besides King Gonal, after all of her children have died.

Since her childhood, Henra had cast a spell that she created herself, and developed it from the original life spell on herself, to stop her aging, for the original life spell, added to the many years of her life. However, it is complicated and forbidden, and no one could ever develop a spell from it.

The spell that Henra had developed helped stop aging completely. When she cast it, she was forty years old and since that time, her aging has been almost unnoticeable, as until now, she still looks like a woman in her forties only.

When, firstly, her brother started dying, from whom the descendants of King Gonal came now, and then, her children were dying in front of her one by one while she was not growing up at all, she tried to reverse this spell or break it. However, that did not help her, no matter how much she tried and repeated the attempts. Now it is only her great-granddaughter that is finally left for her; Celia, from the Minorah family, after her parents died at a young age.

The Minorah family members have the ability to control human minds. They also have their own ability, which has nothing to do with magic, which is to transform their selves to any form they want. That is all, in addition to many other spells, some that are original or others that are developed. That is why everyone fears them. Still, they are very humble, and they are in agreement with the ruling dynasty of the great Mamara.

The rest of the wizards have many and many spells, however, what remained unique is that specific ability that all the wizards in the world, without exception, have. It helped them many times in their lives and in wars; it is the ability to telepath from a distance.

The Kingdom of Magic is famous for its gardens and dense trees. They plant berry and apple trees and many kinds of fruits. They also plant aromatic plants and medicinal herbs.

That is why most of the doctors are from this kingdom for their excellent knowledge of medicine.

They also have many beautiful lakes, colorful flowers scattered everywhere, and a market other than the one in the emperor's district, but smaller than it. It has many magic tools, cotton-stuffed toys that wizards made by themselves, magic-colored threads that work on their own and only for wizards, and the different types of luxurious fabrics produced from cotton cultivation and silk weaving.

There is also the ancient magic library, which was established at the beginning of the kingdom. It contains many magic scrolls and strange magic tools collected over the long years. All of that basically is what made the Kingdom of Magic the focus of everyone’s attention.
