Freedom

Learning magic like Minnie was difficult. You needed to mold the fire/light in you and make it something else, first spell was the light ball.

'' You need to mold your power through your arm and spread it in fingers, there you stop it and slowly get it out.'' she says with a little ball of light in her palm.  '' Good luck'' she gets on her feet and turns to leave

'' Ye say you are gonna teach me.'' 

'' Every magic is different like every person is different. You will be fine.''

 Left alone in the room with just his mind and the wind sound from outside, Lucius close his eyes and enters a semi-sleep state. Trying to find his magic was not hard it was always there never wavering in intensity. His magic was like an uncontrollable fire, for Lucius it was perfect. Trying to mold his fire wasn't hard with a gust of air his magic travelled through his arm to his fingers and fi-

BOOM

Hurried steps, a door thrown and a panicked Minnie entered the room. She find an Lucius with singed hair and half his left eyebrows gone.

'' cough cough  to much fire''

'' Fire? Akc..I don't want to know.'' she leaves again

With a small sigh he tries again. Molding his fire was like trying to escape a thunderstorm, it took much longer then he though but when he opened his eyes again he was holding a little ball of fire in his hand. 

'' YES!'' laughing giddily he runs at Minnie to show her his fireball

And that's how his first day learning magic begin, with singed hair, one and half eyebrows and with the happiest feeling in his chest.

Learning to pick locks with his magic was the easiest thing in the world. 

'' sigh why I'm not surprised?'' she sounded so resigned that Lucius let out an uncontrollable laugh

Now, to make something to be protective was a art. You needed to hold on that object a good chunk of years because of this Lucius chose his dragon pendant. He didn't really understand why it was needed to be soaked in blood once a week but he did it without complain. 

'' You will feel when this pendant becomes more, will feel in your heart and mind in your magical core. It will be like.. a zap. Do not take it off.''

Bill didn't find anything no matter how much he searched and the only thing know of the younger Blacks was that were 3 sisters.

Meeting Narcissa becomes a regular thing, one at three days they met at the Black house, never outside always at a window or the porch. Narcissa was a bright, small mischievous girl. After some time she told him that her eating portion were much smaller than the other girls because of her looks, after that every time they meet Lucius makes sure to give her from his food. 

'' I don't like to eat alone Cissa''

Learning French lullaby's from Narcissa was perfect, singing with her his favorite thing. Finding out she was 3 years younger than him was both good and bad. Good because he technically has more time to get her out from there, bad because.. she was just so small Lucius was not sure if it was because od the meals but she was very frail. Her character was strong though, stronger then the ones on the street even.

The world was so much brighter with her around, but of course good things don't last long.

After another day of observing the captains at the docks he goes to meet Narcissa. 

What meet him was a heartbreaking sign, his little love was crying and was having obvious sign of a beating on her face. Arrived in front of her he takes her in his arms and with some effort puts her in his lap. 

'' Shhh.. it's ok it's gonna be ok darlin'.''

'' It will not! F-Father say I'm g-gon-gonna be give to an English men when I reach 20, they already begin to measure me. I'm too fat!'' she say between her hiccups

Filled with rage he gathers her tighter at his chest. 

'' I'm gonna get ye out before that.''

'' ...wha-what?'' she looks at him unsure and hopeful at the same time

'' I'm gonna take ye out, ye are gonna be free Cissa, just wait ok it's gonna be alrigh'.'' he kiss her forehead and calms her down  '' Here , I will leave soon on a ship, but I will come back to ye'' he gives her his pendant and her wounds are instantly healed.

'' Listen, never take it off, never.'' 

They talk and talk and talk until their voice goes rough and then they talk some more in hushed whispers. They talk about the future, about the pirates and witch's, about the stars and constellation, about the pendant everything and nothing.

Next day Lucius take his new stolen clothes, tie his hair with his red silky ribbon, his pouch at his waist, his lone dangling earring in his ear and his equally stolen boots. 

'' Well you look ready.'' says Minnie examining him some more 

'' Pretty good for a cabin boy eh? '' chuckling he say

'' Don't forget- 

'' Yes yes no magic around and respect the Code. .. Thank you Minnie''  she throw's him out before anything.

Closer to the docks he quickly finds Captain John ship and without fanfare he goes at him.

'' Mornin' Captain.''

'' Ah lad good good ye come, ye are leaving soon. HEY TOM TAKE THIS ONE AT HIS HAMMOCK''

Another men, Tom takes him under at the hammocks

'' Tha' were ye sle'ep and tha' the other cabin boy.'' he left without saying more

'' Well ye lot sure are happy'' a laugh at his left distracts him

'' I know right? they are so moody.''

'' Names Lucius''

'' Uu fancy pleasure meeting ye mate, the names Jack. Want some rum?''

'' Ah a guy after my own heart.''
