Many months have passed since the boy Dorsh was found by the wizard. Ever since the day they met, it was very clear for the wizard that Dorsh needed to be educated as many people complained against the wizard for the boy stole them food. When the wizard told him that he wanted to teach him something, the boy got extremely thrilled as he asked the wizard: "Are you going to show me that light again?". The wizard quickly answered him "Ehh.. no, first you have to learn other things that you do not know". The boy immediately asked him "When are you going to show me that light again?". The wizard did not know how to answer as he never had the intention to teach him something that required so much responsability as magic did. He was not good at teaching at all and did not know how to treat children also. After a brief hesitation, the wizard told him "All right, I will show you the light you saw some day, but on the condition you learn other things that are more important first". The boy reacted enthusiastic about this proposal. He was absolutely determined to learn and see that light that took him out of the dim hole in which he was in one more time, and perhaps more. No matter how many other things the wizard taught him, he always did those other things only to see the light again.
Mathematics, history, cooking, other languages and most importantly, Ethics, specifically the difference between good and bad were the things that young Dorsh learnt in four years. The wizard was very surprised that he could learn all those things in so little time. However, Dorsh always had in mind that he would learn magic if he kept the good work. Finally, Mr. Crowgan decided to send him to the school where he learnt the basic aspects of magic. The Wizard's association, it was called. The day before he left, Crowgan made a party in his honour to wish him luck in the wizard's college. Dorsh did not have a good time, but instead thought everything he would live from that moment. He wanted to leave as soon as possible as that place got nothing to offer him any longer. The wizard said he would go to visit him some times, but he did not believe him as the last three years he lived with him, the wizard was very busy to look after him appropriately. He did not care also as he had become more independent.
Finally, he entered the Magicians' academy, where many hundreds of new applicants entered every single year, but where many left at once also. They had very strict professors, but in order for students to learn magic, they had to pass through many stages before the learning itself as human beings could not make use of that power without doing some special training. This training, however, had an initial state where the key was to see if students had the will and talent to see things that were impossible for the common eye to see. They got the meditation training, which was the first state. This consisted on staying in the same place without moving and looking very closely to absolutely everything there was in the environment. As they remained there for a long time, students realized that they could see things that at the beginning they could not see. This stage was mostly to enhance perception and make all 5 senses work beyond the average. That training was the basis of the magic learning since students had to practise it every single morning after having breakfast. Dorsh did pretty well in this stage as he did not overlook any single detail he had around. Many however, got bored with this and left the academy as they considered it a waste of time. This really helped the instructors for they got rid of many students at once without having exposing them to magic, something which the Wizard's Association considered dangerous if the students learnt it for selfish reasons.
Dorsh had no problem with this stage and he, and many others quickly passed to the second stage. Something which Dorsh as well as the other students did not know was that this stage will become a turning point in all their lives.
