Sepuko's Journal

**July 3 2030**

I completed my basic training today with master. He said that I'm ready to move into the real world and to learn things for myself. I told him that I wanted to attend school before I went anywhere else. He conceded but insisted that I travel to another country first. He's arranging for me to stay in the United States for a school year to learn what it's like in other countries. I don't know when I'll be leaving but it shouldn't be too long.

I'm leaving home right now. I'm in a cab taking me to the nearest airport where I'll fly to Juneau, Alaska. My master said he'd been there before and that he loved it so he sent me here. I'm kinda scared to go so far. thousands and thousands of miles, but I hope it'll be worth it. There's a family there waiting to host me, I think master met him while he was up there. I hope I'll make some new friends and have a good time.

I'm here. I've finally made it. Everything looks so strange here. The air is so crisp and it feels empty. Sometimes I feel like I'm not breathing anything at all. The weather here is pleasant but it gets pretty cold sometimes. I met the Daniels family today. I'm living with 3 people: Mr. Corey Daniels and Mrs. Emma Daniels as well as their 3-year-old Alex. They seem pretty nice and they have a huge house in the woods with a lot of land. I ate a really good meal tonight and I'm laying in a soft, warm bed. I start school in exactly one week where I'll really begin this chapter of my life. I think I just might enjoy it here.

I went to school. West Stanford High. So, I won't be going to school in Juneau. Instead Mr. Daniels drives me about 15 minutes west to Standford. It's kind of a small town but I like the atmosphere. I think there might be about 500 people at the school. My teachers were nice except for Mr. Randy, he seems kind of uptight. All the other kids said that at least. I haven't really made any friends yet and I don't speak very good English, but I'll try my best.

So I've been going to WSH for a while and I'm kinda getting used to it. I'm slowly learning English and I'm getting the hang of it. It does suck that I can't use magic here, I think I'm going stale, but I'll try to find somewhere I can do it. I met a girl named Lily and she's been helping out around the school. She really cool and kind of pretty.

I've been in the US for more than a month now. I've been going to the library recently when I want a change of pace. There's this guy who's always in there, I think his name is Michael. He studies a lot and I think he's smart. I'm gonna ask him if he wants to talk soon because he doesn't seem like he has many friends. Lily introduced to her boyfriend Ryan today. He seems like a nice guy but I felt kind of weird seeing them sit next to each other. I wonder why...

Master and I have been exchanging letters every now and then. He says he doesn't want to suffocate me by contacting me too much. I went to the arcade in Juneau with some friends today. Their names are Tomas, Gerald, Isabella, Eliza, and Elias (the last two are twins). We had a pretty fun day but I didn't know these guys so I felt kinda left out sometimes, but I know they were trying their best to include me. The Daniels are still nice to me and Mrs. Emma always cooks good meals. Mr. Corey works late most days and Mrs. Emma usually tends to Alex all day so I am alone a lot. It reminds me of home but I like having friends I can hang out with.

Today was crazy. Some kids from another town were trying to play a prank on our school. There were trying to put poop around the school and set it on fire. I don't know why but I think our football teams might have some kind of rivalry. The fire spread into the school and some people were having a hard time getting out. The firefighters were taking forever and the fire was almost the entire school. But, while I was escaping I felt a discharge of cosmic energy and the fire faded within seconds. I *know* that someone there used magic and I have to find out who. I know master told me to not do or talk about magic but I have to find out.

The school is still being repaired so we haven't been going anywhere in a while. A lot of the kids from school have been hanging in the cafes and parks in town. I was going to grab some snacks from the store when I ran into Michael. I talked to him for the first time and asked how he was doing. He seemed kinda shy and said that he was ok. He asked my name I told him Samuel. I've been saying Samuel to everyone because it is easier than Sepuko. He actually invited me to come hang out at the lake at his house during the week with some other kids from schoo. I said yeah and he told me I could come a 2 tomorrow.

I didn't go to a lake today. When I arrived at Michael's house is was deep in the woods. When I got to the edge of the river I saw Michael there and he said that he knew I had magic. I laughed it of and asked where everyone else was. He said he wasn't joking and that he felt cosmic energy flowing through me rather than bending around me. Then he lit a fire in his hand and said that he had magic too. I asked if he was the one who stopped the school fire and he said yeah.
