The murmuring between the people in the plaza continued, even inside the stores and shops people questioned the words Mr. Descent said, and after a few minutes of muttering everyone's attention returned to the screen as they heard a loud obviously fake yawn escape from the mouth of Mr. Descent. He shut his book and looked back at the screen, Aria could feel a chill run up her spine as that toothy grin formed back on the screen. It seemed the time for contemplation was up and unfortunately it seemed that he had more to say. In one grand movement Mr. Descent spread his arms open and a loud laugh came from him echoing throughout the entire city before he spoke once more keeping his arms out. "I think that's more than enough time," Mr. Descent said before lowering his arms. " He leaned towards the screen a little and held up one finger as the continued talking, Aria was wondering if he wasn't laying this on a little thick as she watched. "Now I'm sure we can all agree that we've all felt this way at one time or another, and I'm happy to hear a response from some of you. Perhaps the way we are is inherited from our ancestors, maybe this is how the world is, and also why should we care about it? Thankfully a question was posed in my direction, among others of course but I'm afraid my three sizes are secret," Mr. Descent said this bringing both hands to his face and shaking his head bashfully. Aria stared at the screen an immense feeling of disgust welling up inside of her as she watched him clear his throat and continue. "What am I going to do about it?" Mr. Descent said. "A fantastic question and one I'm glad was asked because I have an answer! I'm going to sever what makes us all different, put simply I'm going to make each and everyone one of us equal. Won't matter how much money you have, what your past was, or even your future ambitions. None of that will matter I will make each of us even. Now if you all would be so kind as to look at the sky." Aria arched a brow at Mr. Descent's words but when he snapped his fingers the blue sky immediately turned red and something seemed to form in it, the sudden change caused her to look up and her eyes widened as a large red pentagram formed in the sky overshadowing the entire city. "What the hell is..." Aria said unable to finish her thought as she stared at the sight. The pentagram glowed a bright crimson and two star shaped symbols floated in the center of it, one circling clockwise the other rotating counter-clock wise. There were four red circles in the four corners one of the stars made, a bright glow filled the pentagram and though it couldn't be seen from so far away there were multiple little circles around the rim of the circles where the lines were. "Don't blink now," Mr. Descent said grinning at everyone. The pentagram's glow flared and a red light slammed into the entire city covering everyone in it, inside or outside the red light hit every person in the city the hot energy slamming into people's bodies threatening to consume them. Aria fell to her knees as a pain filled her entire being, the screams of the people around her echoing in her ears, people in the stores screamed and fell through their doors gripping their arms. A waiter in the coffee shop dropped a platter and fell to his knees screaming in pain as he held his wrist and the same was for everyone in the shop. People driving their cars crashed into buildings and each other as they were hit with the light, even people in their homes fell to the ground gripping their wrists. Aria held her arm as a burning sensation filled it, as if it was aflame and threatening to engulf the rest of her. She grit her teeth as she was filled with the feeling of someone carving something into her wrist with a hot knife slowly. A mark started to form on her wrist and slightly up her arm as the burning sensation of being cut continued to barrage her forcing her attention on it. The same thing was happening to everyone else, the same mark was being put on their rights arms in the same spot and it seemed it was just as painful for most. Finally the light subsided and the pentagram vanished completely the sky returning to it's normal blue, Aria fell to her knees as the pain subsided her breath heavy as she released her arm. For some reason it felt like something was moving inside her body, like a stream was flowing through her, it kind of felt like the sun's warmth but internally and constantly in motion. She looked at her arm to see a mark running from her wrist to a little below her forearm. The mark was the crossing of two lines three times while moving downwards before pointing at the end like an arrow, near the top the lines were adjacent but there were lines curving off the top barely touching the lines, they looked kind of like wings, since their were four lines it looked like four wings two on each side. At the top of the marking was a symbol she didn't recognize, it looked like an eye but there was an oval going through it, she wasn't sure what exactly it was. "Hahahahahahaah! That was so good you guys should have heard yourselves! Hahahahaha! Ah your screams were fantastic...that had to be pretty damn painful." Aria was pulled from the tingling pain in her arm as Mr. Descent continued talking, for a moment she forget he was there. When she raised her head she noticed everyone around her had the same marks and they were holding their arms, some people were passed out on the ground, more than likely from the pain. "Ah anyway I'm sure you're probably wondering what that was, well before I explain all that and what that thing on you is, I want you to try something. You should feel a warmth spreading through your body right now, like a really comforting heat or something focus that warmth into your hand, don't worry it'll come naturally too you trust me on this." Mr. Descent the palm of his hand to the screen and pointed to it before motioning his entire hand, lowering it afterwards. "You should summon...well let's call it magic since most of you should recognize that word from your books and movies. I know it's hard to believe but seeing is believing give it a shot, oh be careful though, just cause you can summon it doesn't mean you can control it." Aria looked at the palm of her hand, her head was still spinning on everything that was going on but she found herself listening to Mr. Descent's advice and sure enough when she focused that warmth a purple glow surrounded her hand, she flinched and immediately shook her hand dismissing it. She stared at her hand in shock and taking a deep breath she focused the warmth again only to have it happen again. Aria looked around at the other people and they were doing the exact same thing, just as he said summoning it was easy enough and Mr. Descent was patiently waiting for everyone to get used to the idea that they had magic, much less that it existed. "You'll want to hear what I have to say next but go ahead and get a feel for it, if I didn't have your attention I have it now right. Not that you can ignore me I'm on every channel, really though you;ll really like this next part, I mean I've already brought some spice to your boring lives right?"
