chapter one the practice


hello my name is claymore and I am about to die. but hold on I am getting a head of my self. I am claymore dark fate but my friends call me clay I am a summoner my speciality is animals but I can do anything zombies mythological beings you name it I can summon it. I was an ordinary street magician just with a lot of talent with the animals I train but that was the boring part let's start where I met the stranger that would change- and maybe end- my life.
I was just walking dow the street when I heard someone following me I cut down an alley and hid inside of a dumpster when the man started looking around I heard him saying strange words "Unum peto" and I started to glow "ah there you are" stated the stranger as if me glowing was the most normal thing in the world "who are you" I asked "the name is andy" replied the stranger "why am I glowing!" I yelled "I cast a tracking spell on you" he said as if spells were real "I came here caught your act your real good kid got some potential as a real magic user" ok then I thought this guy is crazy I had better play along until I can get away "so a magic user huh? sounds cool like stunning spells magic wands unicorns right?"
"yep thats about right but not the wand we use spells and focus them through our hands just watch" he pointed his hand like a gun at a large box at the dead end of the alley "magnmanius" the box started to sink and melt as the ground turned in to lava "see now you try" I decided that the man was perfectly sane and decided to give it a try I pointed at an other box and said "magnmanius" the ground glowed a little red but no magma bubbled to the surface the box did not melt I got close but the ground was not quite as cooperating to me as it was to andy "good first try but for now let's go to my studio were I will train you further" we went down town and I saw some thing I must have passed a million times but never saw before "unlock" was all andy said to the door and then he walked in "some magic wieldiers like my self are so powerful that one word english commands are all we need to get some thing done" as we walked along I saw many strange looking rooms one looked like the surface of a desolate planet I threw a candy wrapper from my pocket in there and it burned up on entry to the room then we came to a room that looked like a combination of every animal habitat known to man and several unknown to man "now based on your apparent talents let's start with animal summoning and control" "I am already good at controlling animals but summoning would be cool" I replied "good" he answered "I will show you how to summon then banish a small dog to start repeat after me vocato canis" "vocato canis" suddenly a small scottie the dog I happened to be thinking about when andy said we would be summoning a dog appeared right in front of me "very good clay now to banish it you say exterminant canis" "exterminant canis" and as quickly as it appeared it disappeared "what happened to the dog?" I asked "well it ceased to exist it never existed until you summoned it so it went back to its plane of existence most likely it simply went to oblivion" replied andy "so it was not hurt?" "no almost definitely not now let's try something bigger say vocato ursidae" "ok" I replied trying to remember what an ursidae was "vocato ursidae" just as I finished saying it I remembered it was the family of the bear instantly I thought of a polar bear and just as I thought it it appeared "roar" the bear was not angry just scared "good now let's banish it say exterminant ursidae" "exterminant ursidae" and just like the dog it disappeared "very good just remember those two words and put them in front of the latin name of any animal thinking of which member of that animal family you want you will get what ever you want"

chapter 2 going in the field


detective and solved problems involving magic and products of while he packed I tried some new summoning creatures I had managed a minotaur before it was time to go "so boss what is the big problem that has the P. D. calling you in" I asked "looks like a monster killed three people and ran off in to the night" "what happened?" "I do not know but apparently it left large spikes in side of its victims like they were stabbed by stalactites we will learn more when we get to the coroner's office and get a look at the autopsy report Ianuae Magicae in officio coronatoris" and in a flash of light the Ware house like mansion turned in to a large office out side of witch was a door that was open and you could see the doors to the freezer drawers that held the cadavers "blast that teleportation spell always so specific we wanted to go to the coroner's office and here we are in the coroner's office is the door locked" click click click "yep boss" "ok ok I have a spell" he pointed right at the door "aperitur ostium," click the door unlocked and opened we walked out and in to the autopsy room the coroner looked up from a large spike that looked like it was made of scales "what is that thing boss?" I asked "that is a really large scale spike looks like this guy was either killed in a cave or by a manticore" "a manticore? those do not exist" stated the coroner's assistant
"oh hello" andy looked surprised to see him "are you knew?" "yeah started yesterday" replied the woman "that explains what you just said let's just get this over with forense studium," he pointed at the spike it raised out of the woman's hands and got tinted blue then several spots on the spike started to glow yellow they looked like clamp marks but different like the clamp had been part of the spike but broke off and then released the things "ok let's go" I just followed him "why aren't we still looking at that thing?" I asked "well because I already know where we have to go" with out explaining any thing more than he already had witch was not much he just kept walking I wondered why we tele ported to the coroner but we were walking to ward where ever it was that we were going but I thought it better not to ask after all he was my master he taught me every thing I knew but not every thing he knew after all andy knew more than most magic users in the world "hey boss why are we stopping here?" I asked as we came up on a huge Ware house "it is where the head of the cities manticore families lives and he can tell us who of his subjects might have been the one that decided to go an a mass murder spree and kill three people in one night as well as leaving evidence of the super natural that is not legal in the super natural world revealing them selves as super natural in not a good idea and so lately we have passed a few laws to stop them from exposing them selves to the people of the world who do not need to know that these creatures exist in the real world not just in fantasy and myth some people would live in pursuit of others people would live in fear of then there are the ones that would go around killing indiscriminately but the point is there are plenty of reasons to have anti-revolution laws in effect to stop those and other such things from happening this is a major break in those laws if one of his subjects did this he will help us just to make it known he did not nor will ever con done such acts of sense less violence and is perfectly willing to stop such actions" so we walked in to the broken down old ware house to confront a manticore king
