Dark Magic Trial: A High-Fantasy Monologue

 DARK MAGIC TRIAL

A High-Fantasy Monologue

Henry N. Silva


Every prime witch and wizard must face “the dark magic trial,” once they reach a certain age…


What’s that, you ask? Well, the dark magic trial simply means being exposed to dark magic… The magic of our enemies…


One cannot defeat their enemy or keep them at bay until they understand their “side of the story,” after all… Those of us who face the trial usually come away from it one piece, but every now and then, someone succumbs to the darkness…


There are others of good who refuse to accept the dark magic trial. Runaway witches and wizards, we call them… Sometimes I think about becoming a runaway myself. My time to face the trial is soon approaching, and the more I am reminded of it, the more I fear it…


I don’t know any runaways, though. All my friends and family are primes. Interacting with the runaways is frowned upon… But like I said, my time to face the trial is soon approaching, and the more I am reminded of it, the more I fear it…
