Cursed Convergence

We Pick Up Immediately After Jason And Aria Finish The Training Exercise And The Two Meet Up With Jay At The Ethereal Grove Which Is A Magic Forest In The Outskirts Of The City There Are Mystical Animals And Mystical Trees And A Pool Of Healing Water As The Moonlit Sky And Mythic Birds Singing.

Aria(Astonished): Wow This Place Is Beautiful.

Jason(Astonished): I Know I've Never Seen This Place Before.

Aria: I've Heard That This Place Has A Healing Pool That Heals People From Their Wounds And Injuries As Well As Replenishes Their SOUL Energy.

Aria(Jokingly): Me And You Should Come Here Again When We Have Free Time.

Jason(Blushing): Huh?

Aria(Giggling): Just Kidding.

Jason: I Wonder Why Mr.Jay Had Us Meet Him Here.

Then Jay Appears And Meets Up With Jason And Aria To Give Them Some News.

Jay(Grinning): Hey You Two.

Aria: Hi Mr.Jay.

Jason: Sup.

Jay(Grinning): So I've Asked You Two To Meet Me Here To Discuss Something.

Aria(Curious): What Is It?

Jay: Since You To Did A Really Good Job In The Training Exercise I Have Recommended You Two To Participate In The Sorcerer Exams.

Jason&Aria(Confused): Sorcerer Exams?

Jay: Yes The Sorcerer Exams Are Where All The Young And Upcoming Sorcerers Go To An Arena And Fight Against Demons.

Jay: And Whoever Showcases The Skills And Requirements To Become A Full Fledged Sorcerer.

Jason: Huh? But I Thought We Became Sorcerers After Graduating From The Sorcerer Academy?

Jay: Actually When You Graduated From The Academy You Became Eligible To Participate In The Exams.

Jay: So After The Teamwork You Two Showcased In The Training Exercise You Proved Your Ready To Participate In The Exams.

Aria: So Basically If We Pass We Become Official Sorcerers And Get Our Sorcerer License?

Jay: Exactly

Jason: Having Us Fight Against Demons Is A Little Overkill Don't You Think?

Jay: Once You Become Sorcerers You Will Go On Actual Missions And Fight Against Real Demons… Think Of This As A Head-start To Get You Ready.

Jason(Confident): Me And Aria Can Handle Whatever They Throw At Us.

Aria: Don't Get Too Cocky Jason Were Still New To This And Have No Real Combat Skill Whatsoever.

Jay: Alright Be Prepared The Exams Start Tomorrow.

Jason&Aria(thinking): He Waits Till Now To Tell Us That?

We Then Cut To The Sorcerer Academy Where We See Two Other Students Talking.

Student #1: So Did You Hear About Those New Students Jason And Aria?

Student #2: Yeah What About Them?

Student #1: Well The Sorcerer Exams Are Tomorrow And I Think It Would Be Fun To Mess With Them Don't You Think?

Student #2: Are You Sure? I Mean I Heard They Are Pretty Strong Aliyah.

Aliyah: Come On It'll Be Fun They Must Be Pretty Confident Now But They Won't Be So Confident In The Exams.

We Then Shift Back To Jason And Aria And Jay At The Ethereal Grove.

Jay: Tomorrow's Exams Will Test Your Magic Abilities As Well As Your Adaptability To Unpredictable Situations.

Jason: We Will Be Ready For Anything They Throw At Us.

Jay: You Know Jason Overconfidence Can Be Dangerous So Watch Yourself In The Exams.

1 Day Later Jason And Aria Meet Up At The Sorcerer Council Chamber As They Enter The Room They See A Whole Room Full Of Other Participants In The Exams Then A Feeling Of Nervousness Runs Through The Two… They Then Take Their Seats As The Elder Sorcerers Then Give The Young Sorcerers An Explanation Of The Exams.

Grand Elder #1: As You All Know The Exams Start In 30mins… This Exam Will Test Not Only Your Magic Capabilities But Your Teamwork And Adaptability In Difficult Situations.

Grand Elder: Those Of You Who Showcase Exceptional Performances And Magic And Thinking Capabilities Will Become Official Sorcerers.

Grand Elder: That's All I Have To Say Thank You For Your Time.

Jason And Aria Then Get Up And Go To The Exam Arena As They Notice The Arena Is Full Of Participants Warming Up For The Exams That Start In 10mins.

And As They Navigate Through The Arena They Notice The Other Participants Sizing Them Up.

Sorcerer #1(Whispering): Look It's The New Wannabe Sorcerers.

Sorcerer #2(Whispering): There In For A Rude Awakening Thinking They Stand A Chance Against Us.

Sorcerer #3(Whispering): I Know Right? What A Couple Of Small Fry.

Jason(Whispering To Aria): Looks Like They Already Hate Us For Some Reason.

Aria(Whispering To Jason): Some Of Them Do Look Kinda Intimidating But Let Them Underestimate Us Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

Grand Elder(Over The Announcement): Alright Participants The Exams Will Begin In 3…2…1 Now

The Exams Now Begin And We See The Teams Spread Out Across The Arena Going To Different Sections Of The Arena.

Jason And Aria Arrive At One Of The Locations Of The Demons And Notice That Their Task Is To Save The Hostage From The Demons Aria Then Uses Her Spatial Awareness Ability To Locate And Detect Where The Demons Are.

Aria(Whispering To Jason): There Are 5 Demons And The Hostage Is Inside That Cage Over There.

Jason(Whispering): So We Will Both Take Out Two Demons At The Same Time At Once.

Jason And Aria Then Silently Takedown All Five Demons And Saves The Hostage.

Jay(Spectating): Nice Teamwork You Two!

Grand Elder: You've Trained Them Well Jay.

Grand Elder: I See Potential In The Pair Of Them.

Jason And Aria Traverse Through The Arena As Then Jason And Aria Senses A Trap In Front Of Them The Two Then Stop And Throws A Dagger At The Trap As This Causes The Trap To Go Off And Cause An Explosion And Smoke Engulfs The Area Jason Then Uses His Wind Ability And Pushes Back The Smoke And We See Aliyah And Her Partner Standing In A Tree Looking Down At Jason And Aria.

Aliyah: Hey There Newbies.

Aria: What Do You Guy's Want?

Aliyah: We Heard You Guys Are Supposed To Be Some Hotshots, But Let's See If You Can Handle A Real Challenge.

Aliyah And Her Partner Jump Down From The Tree And Launch Coordinated Attacks As Jason And Aria Just Barley Dodge As Aria Then Forms A Circle With Her Hands And Aims At Aliyah's Partner And Summons An Angelic Halo Around Him As The Halo Then Encases Her Partner's Body With Divine Flames With Immense Heat Hotter Than A Supernova As Her Partner Screams Out In Pain And He Then Stops Screaming.

Aria: RELEASE!!!

Aria Releases Her Ability As The Flames Disappear As We Then See Aliyah's Partner Is Unconscious.

Jason: One Down… One To Go.

Jason Then Shifts His Focus On Aliyah As She Is Moving Around With Inhuman Levels Of Speed To The Point Where Jason And Aria Cannot Tell Where She Is.

Jason(Frustrated): She's To Fast I can't Tell Where She's Coming From.

Aliyah Then Strikes Jason With A Punch That Sends Him Flying Back into Some Boulders As Jason's Cursed Seals On His Right Arm Activate And Glow An Ominous Dark Red Color.

Jason(Telepathically): Aria I Have An Idea I'm Gonna Try And Do What I Did In Our Training With Mr.Jay And Slow Down Time That's When You Strike.

Aria:(Nods)

Jason Then Slows Down Time For Aliyah As He Can Now Select Who Gets Affected By This.

Aliyah(Confused): What The Heck?

Aliyah: What's With Those Wired  Seals On His Arm?

Aliyah Then Uses Her Ability To Look Into Her Opponents Soul And She Senses An Ominous Energy Coming From Inside Of Jason.

Aliyah(Trembling): What… Is… That?

She Then Sees Malum The Legendary Demon King Sitting On His Throne With Skulls On The Ground And Smoke In The Air And A Pitch Black Sky Is Also Met With An Eerie Silence As Malum Stares Her Down.

Malum(In Ancient Language): Who Do You Think You Are You Inferior Species?

The Gravity Then Starts Getting Heavier Making It Difficult To Stand As Aliyah Drops To Her Knees And Hands Sweating And Feeling An Immense Level Of Fear.

Malum(Disgusted): You Must Got Some Real Power To Dare To Try And Look Into My Soul You Brat.

Malum: However I'll Let It Slide Just This Once.

Then She Wakes Up And Jason And Aria Land A Massive Blow On Her Which Knocks Her Unconscious.

Jason Then Deactivates The Cursed Seals And Him And Aria Then Meet Up At The Sorcerer Council Chamber As The Exams Has Come To An End.

Grand Elder: Alright The Moment Of Truth.

To Be Continued.

The End.
