There are demons that live underground. There are also elves that live in the forest. There's also dragons. The queen demon has this idea to trick the elves and humansinto fighting and when the war is over, she'll just sweep over whoever wins cause they will be weak by then.
The demons get their magic power from the suffering of others. If they torture someone it makes them magically stronger. The queen Deming has tortured another demon to the point where all thatsleft is a gooey pouch that she drinks kinda like a Capri sun. The prince demon has brought a mage into their inner sanctum cause the mage said he could get His hands on a dragon. He did not so the prince demon is gonna torture him to death.
CH 6
Kellen is bored with his normal studies. He wants to know what's beyond the city walls. He goes to the main public library and doesn't really find anything useful. So he gives wild magic again. He ends up in the artists section of the city. The magic directs him to clean up an old cistern. He cleans it up and then fills it in. He's done a good thing for the city. In doing so,he makes friends with an old man who's a writer. In fact, the very writer who kellens dad refused and burned his latest book.
CH 7
Kellen us excited to get a start on the day so he gets up early and dresses nice and heads down to breakfast. He overhears some servants say that his new writer friend is dead. He's too sad to eat now so he heads to school Early. He has math class. He likes math class. He's always the first to arrive And the last to leave.
Switch viewpoint to Kellens dad. He searches kwllwns room and finds the books.
Kellen has his math class intruded by a messenger giving him a summons to the mage council. He feels doomed so he spends his last bit of freedom at the docks. He goes to the council and his dad yells at him cause of the books. He goes to jail for a while and his dad comes down and tells him the straight dope about wild magic. It's the demons tool to lure mages down into their rhelm. We know its the truth cause we know demons exist and they are horrible. Kellen doesn't know shit, so he calls the truth his father gives him BS and tells him he'd much rather run the risk of dieing out in the world beyond the city walls than be his son. Then His dad tells him banishment is a lie. You don't really get to leave. What you get is a one night head start before they ride out to find you and kill you. Dad also says something about Kellen being just as bad as his sister. Kellen doesn't have any memory of having a sister.
CH 8
Kellen is really getting banished. He's thrown out of the city when the night bells are ringing. This would be a cool scene in a movie or TV show. They give him bread and water and a thin cloak that labels him as a criminal so everyone he interacts with know he's done crime.
Kellen is feeling a bit hopeless. There's some more description of what's gonna come kill him. Its a thing called the wild hunt and its a golem that looks like a dog. If it catches him, it's tear him apart real quick.
Kellen decides desperate times call for desperate measures. So he does a wild magic spell asking the magic to get him outside of the city boundaries before morning.
A unicorn shows up. There's a unicorn in this book that has a unicorn on the cover. The unicorn shows up and tells him he's willing to help him case he's a virgin and the price for the unicorns help is that he has to stay that way for another year. Kellen doesn't think this is gonna be a problem so he agrees immediately.
He gets on the unicorn and they are running impossibly fast. It's hard and painful just to hang on with the unicorn going this fast. To make matters worse the unicorn isn't all that focused on staying on a trail or anything. It's just running as fast as it can. Kellen is getting whipped by branches real bad. It has torn his criminal cloak to shreds. He's fricking freezing cause no cloak and also the unicorn runs through a stream.
They stop for a bit. Kellen offers some of his bread to the unicorn and it's like, Nah, you're gonna need alla that. Then they're back to running.
