Over the past week I have been spending most of my time perched upon my mage-chair, thinking.
These many hours thinking have resulted in a realization:
I can't go it alone.
Though many have attempted to reach magedom solo, none have ever succeeded. And though I am tempted to break this tradition by accomplishing this feat myself, I am a busy "Trainee to Be A Mage", and I simply don't have the time. So I decided...
I needed a mage coach.
I have sought out the best. The #1. The top dog. The top dollar. The ultimate. The cream of the crop. The apple of my eye. Four time olympic mage team coach.
Zacharius.
He will put me through the paces. He will push my 'til I can go on no more. He will test my limits, then break them like they were made of tempered glass! He will yell at me and insult me and make me feel so bad about myself that there will be nowhere to go but up! TO THE STARS.
I have utter confidence in my decision, and I have already started Mage-conditioning. This is the first real step on my journey. I have to leave my old life as a normal non-mage behind..
I know who I am now...
I am Eden.
And I am Training to Be a Mage!
