Free The Weapon Bearer (Book 1) by Aaron Thomas

puts you into competition with the earth king. It is each wizard’s right to find a person worthy of bearing an element. As your sister, she would most certainly find you worthy.” The wizard looked to be just Kilen’s age, but there was a sort of wisdom to his eyes. His short brown hair was cut and singed at the ends as if he had gotten too close to hearth putting logs on the fire. He was around the same height as Kilen, maybe an inch taller. He was slender but not in an unhealthy way, just in a way that said he used his physical muscle’s sparingly throughout the day. The wisdom in his eyes seemed to say that his mental muscles were far stronger than his physical ones. He wore a deep blue cloak and covering it was a curling wave in deeper blue embroidery. His voice was quiet but commanding and bore no accent. He stopped pacing and finally spoke to Kilen, “Nothing to do about it now, I suppose, but to train you. We have couple weeks before we reach the king, I will think of something before then. Let’s focus and continue with your training. Besides the strength flowing through you, did you feel anything else?”
    “I felt energized, renewed, and just healthy.”
    “That renewed feeling and the healthiness as you call it, is the water magic. It will sustain your body, always healing it while you use water magic. You cannot heal yourself like I healed your broken rib. Another wizard or magic bearer will have to heal you, but you can heal others like this now. You will touch your sword at all times in the next few days allowing your body to heal from the ordeal you put it through tonight. I cannot heal exhaustion, food and sleep will have to do that. Touching any part of that sword will allow you to heal twice as fast as you normally do. You told me about your run and how you needed a drink of water. The touching of the sword will refill the water in your body also. If you hold onto your sword now you will replenish what you use as you use it, pulling it from the air around you. You will still need food of course, and sleep. Do you have any questions?”
    “I feel like I could still run the entire way to the King if I wanted, and I don’t feel sleepy. Why is that?”
    “That comes from the endurance and the strength given by the earth magic in your rings and sword. Be aware that you can still push yourself too far, but you were using just the basic magic principals. The rings don’t just give you the strength and endurance. You can manipulate the earth and water elements around you. Sometimes using the basic principals comes naturally and often is not even known by the wielder. The more magic items you have the more earth or water you can manipulate. The king has a entire set of armor of water and earth magic. I cannot fathom what he could do that that power. I have heard of legendary hero’s given ringmail armor in which each ring was imbued separately. Using that kind of power to its full extent would require you to rest a lifetime before you could take it off. If you did take it off you would die of exhaustion or dehydration. The magic in the armor or weapons will sustain you. I as a wizard, on the other hand, can only push myself to my magical limit and it just ceases to exist. I will be tired but I cannot die from using every ounce of my magic. But as I rest I will regain magic. Tonight I have pushed myself far, which is why I imbued your sword. I will not be able to subdue Kara come morning. I am exhausted from my magic use. I carry one piece of magic armor with me. It was made by my brother Brandon the earth wizard. Using it, I will not need sleep but I will slowly gain my magic back as if I was sleeping.”
    “How long will I have to rest before I should take off these rings?”
    “With that sword earth and water magic’s helping you should be fine by morning. That is if you don’t practice any magical process. Earth and water magic complement each other and work together. You will find your bodies
