The Art of Magic <<Aksara Dahana>> (IV)
"I shall remember this fight for many moons. Rejoice human. You have thoroughly satiated my boredom." He tapped his forehead as he smiled jovially to the feral Nex who was struggling to even stand up. "Ah how can I forget! Pardon my rudeness. I am Aksara Azi Dahana! A loyal follower of the Primordial Dragon Monarch. One of the three heads of Azi." He said he appeared in his true draconic form. He was covered in scales from top to bottom yet still retained his humanoid form. Oly his face was not covered in scales. And his wavy neck long brown hair was also retained.The green mana within his palms intensified. "However this must also come to a close. My king is in need of my services. You are still an infent yet to fully grow into your full potential." He said as the green mana within his hands turned into a ball of light.> Setsuna jumped out of her lighning form as she streaked across the battlefield appearing right above Aksara. A gigantic li

"I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It seems it is indeed you... Nova." Aksara said as he crouched to match Nova's eye level. "I thought you were destroyed. It seems you were more tenacious than I thought." Nova clicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes, [Why the fuck aren't you affected by Aeshma's last spell?] Aksara shook his head, "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I have found you. Soon enough we will all be reunited. Worry not old friend. I shall free you from your prison."[Fuck off you bastard! What do you mean prison!? This is my new wielder!] Aksara closed his eyes and nodded his head. "I see, you mean to tell me you do not wan't to be Aeshma's wielder once more?" He said stopping Nova from uttering any more profanities. "Although it is a shame I have to kill this budding sapling, but if it's for the queen... then I'll hapilly oblige." He said as he violently narrowed his eyes whilst raising his hand into the air as he sharpened the claws in his fingertips
The Art of Magic <<Aksara Dahana>> (VI)
A few hours after Crowley casted his spell.Aksara finally broke free of his gilded seal. Cracks started forming on the cracked statue as smoke billowed out of the gaps. Then suddenly the entire area around him was enveloped by extreme heat as he exploded in a ball of flames. He roared from the top of his lungs the moment he got free. He knelt on the ground as he slammed his fits on the ground. "Damn it! I was so close! Those Brats from the Circle really piss me off!"As he looked around and saw nothing but destruction he sighed as he snapped his fingers. Everything around him returned to normal. Then after a few moments of waiting countless flapping of wings arrived all around him. He stared at the fully grown adult dragons flying all around him as they slowly landed in front of him with their elongated heads subserviently bowing down towards him reverently. He narrowed his eyes as an numerous more landed side by side as they all gathered and formed countless batallions. It was a co
The Art of Magic The Lingering Nightmare
It was cold.The slithering dark against my face felt cold. Perhaps the coldest it has ever been.I cannot speak, I cannot breath, I try to reach towards the flickering light above me but I couldn't feel my hands, frankly I could barely feel anything at all.I try to form a fist yet feel nothing.I am bound...I try to thrash and scream, as I do I see flickering images of earlier cut through my psyche.The burning skies as the world wept blood.The screams of horror and agony as the world we knew crumbled in to dust.I was helpless to stop the onslaught of my own making.Anger.Unrelenting anger.It filled my mind like dark clouds on stormy weather.It was hell. The more I stay asleep and sedated the more vivid those images become. I force my eyes open only to struggle at the faintest of blinks.This...Familiar feeling.It reminds me of rain...Endless.Heavy.Yes.It has started pouring down once more. I feel like I'm drowning this time. The worst it has ever been.My eyes slowly fl
The Art of Magic Metamorphosis
Nova channeled mana from within Nex's mindscape. The moment he did she felt immense pain making her growl. As she clutched her chest. Outside she was probably convulsing like crazy right now. It probably sent everyone into a panic. She coudn't blame them, after all they're just worried about her."What the hell is happening Doc!" Setsuna grabbed the collar of one Doctor as he called all medical assistants to the room right now. "I- I don't know! She was stable earlier! I even talked to her!" Setsuna grabbed Nex's hands and gripped it softly. "Damn it! Live you damn idiot! Your team needs a captain!" She said as she watched Nex's face contort due to the immense pain she was feeling.Purple mana started oozing from her nose as it bubbled on her mouth. Her hand dug into the table instinctively as she convulsed. Her entire body shone purple as a dark and looming shadow enveloped her body.Then a huge portal opened as Nick, Crowley and Faust entered and they brought out all sorts of liquid
The Art of Magic The Wiccan Bazaar (I)
Nex woke up feeling refreshed more than usual. She stretched her body and did some light exercise. She was no longer plagued by jolting pain everytime she woke up. She sucked in a batch of fresh air as she excitedly exited her room and almost bumped into blair on her way out.Blair's eyes were wide open as she stared at Nex awake and about. "Oh my, It seems you woke up on your own today Nex." She said as she put her hands on her hips. Setsuna came out of her door a little groggy, but awake nontheless. The moment she looked to her left and saw Nex energetically standing in front of her door all lucid, her jaws dropped. She tried pinching her cheeks only to wince from the pain. "What the hell? Am I in some kind of mirror dimension?" Nex chuckled, "Hey! no matter how thick my face is, I could still get hurt y'know?" Setsuna shrugged her shoulders, "Can you blame me? It's like a rebranding. It's almost freaky." She said as she moved towards the cupboards and start to brew herself some co

"Well you're in luck kiddo. All the shit listed here is available in The Wiccan Bazaar! I just hope that this thing doesn't eat your face, Setsuna's, or mine!" Nex shrugged her shoulders, clearly not giving any fucks. Setsuna on the other hand took the page from Nick's hand. Then immediately passed it back to Nex, "Yeah... Have no idea what the fuck any of these mean." She said as she leisurely sipped her coffee.Blair handed them their breakfast as she prepared Nex's and Setsuna's clothes. "Eat up! It's gonna be a long day." He said as he and the gang chowed down on Blair's amazing breakfast. After a few minuites of lazing about Nick finally stood up and drew a magic circle on the ground. "This portal is technically encrypted and it changes on a weekly basis." He said as he snapped his fingers and a portal appeared beside the magical circle. Blair put her hands on her hips as she stared at Nick, "You do know, I have to clean your messes right?" Nick scratched his cheeks, "Uhh, everyt

"It seems that only you are capable of summoning whatever this thing is. Hopefully not something truly bad. Who gave you this anyway?" Nex Shrugged her shoulers. "Where's Nova when you need him. His name is Nobody, and as far as I'm concerned... He's the one who has helped me the most in this long and arduous journey. He gave me those pages." Nick scratched his chin, "Not exactly a helpful pseudonymn." Nex shrugged her shoulders, "I feel like he's sort of sealed at the moment. There's like a time limit he could manifest himself. He is a tall man in a black suit, his face covered by the shadows, has glaring and ominous yellow eyes? This is his symbol." She said as she snapped her fingers and recreated Nobody's symbol.A Glowing Red Circle filled with undecipherable inscriptions that wriggle as if it's alive. In the middle of it all was an Inverted Ankh Painted with blood.Nick shook his head, "It's definitely not an egyptian god nor a mage of the same discipline. No one would dare use

The trio circled back towards the entrance while celeste blabbered on about the buildings architecture and defenses. "Since you are guests of Sir Nicholas, I bet you already know that msot of the artifacts here are the real deal relics from the age of gods, the age of magic and so on and so forth."She said not notocing the glint on Nex's eyes. "Most of these artifacts are have actually been used to fend off the invaders during the war. Some were even personally used by the twelve." She said as she pointed towards a large golden shield and a golden spear with its tip burning with blue flames.

The Great Library (IV)
Celeste carefully trotted along as she approached both Nex and Setsuna. The slowly hid behind the bookshelves as she peeked through the books.While doing so she listened in their conversation. Nex picked up books on whatever the hell caught her interest. However her eyes never stayed on one book for too long. She sighed as she closed another dusty tome. "If Nova was here I'd already fed him everything in this library." She said shocking Setsuna. "Feed him? Feed him how? like a fish?"Nex scratched her cheeks but before she could answer she spotted a fresh pair of eyes staring straight at them with unconcealed interest. Her eyes gleaming in curiousity as she leaned in the shelves much closer forgetting that she was concealing herself."Well... for starters nova eats for some reason like the rest of us who needs energy to survive. I remember him telling me he's converting the innate mana residing on things to fuel his energy reserves or something. I don't know. I'm not too sure on how

The Great Library (III)
Nex peered over the gilded gates widely open as they could be. She scratched her chin as she looked around only to see gigantic shelves that towered over her containing various amounts of books. Rows of them that seemingly span towards infinity warding of any sane person who would wander the halls of vast knowledge.Ranging from dusty tomes to the more wierd and eccentric stuff like a crystal ball that could help them see the original owners memory. All of it were guarded by armed guards patrolling and keeping an ever watchul eye filled with vigilance.She turned around and saw various items incased in glass, while also engraved in glowing red magic circles. Setsuna stared at Nick once more and tilted her head as she eyed all the thing all around them. "This place is a library right?"Nex on the other hand approached the desk as her eyes darted all over the place seemingly impatient to just out right steal the things that caught her eye. Nick sensed this as the facepalmed and stared a

The Great Library (II)
Once the golden Barrier disappeared the entirety of the Hidden Grand Library of Alexandria was unveiled to them. Golden sparks of light scattered across the air creating a majestic sight to behold. A huge Fortress lay before them gilded in all its glory. Unblemished, Untainted, and Unseen by the unworthy. A towering drawbridge slowly lowered in front of them.What awaited inside was a large plethora of knowledge awaiting to be seen by curious eyes. NEx coudn't help but whistle in surprise, "You mages really know how to go all out." Nick coudn't help but scratch his nose in embarassment from her words. "Well, Faust can be a little eccentric but that man knows how to make things a little more grand than what they should appear." He said as he led the two inside the castle in the middle.Setsuna looked around and saw huge watch towers and wyverns chained beneath them. Gigantic ballistas that watch over the cosmic skies, ever watchful of potential intruders. On the pathways were infantrym

The Great Library (I)
"One of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. Created by the nine goddesses of arts themselves. Regarded as the capitol of knowledge and learning. The central gathering of all the most rare and mysterious books in the world. Not only that everything in that place is disaster proof, especially fire!" Nick said as he stared the the two slacked jawed women. "I welcome you two to the Great Library of Alexandria!" He said as he spread his arms wide. He then slowly panned towards Nobody who was nodding along at the grandeur. "Can we find records of you in there?" Nick asked as he crossed his arms scrutinizing every movement of Nobody. However he just shrugged, "You'd be extremely lucky to find it when it's buried in all these books. However I'm fairly sure you've read most of the library's contents don't you Nick?" Nobody said as he tried to step inside however a huge golden barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere barring his entry towards the library. Nobody fr

The Wiccan Bazaar (IV)
The two finished touring around the Bazaar. They found Nick waiting for them at a bench with his arms folded in annoyance. The moment he saw them he raised his eyebrows, "So Did you enjoy the 'Bazaar that looks like the Golden Heart?'" He said as he scoffed. Nex scratched her cheeks, "Well, although it looks familiar. It's different enough to warrant exploring. Thankfully the roads are familiar to not get lost..." She said as her voice slowly shrank. "That's the point! Familiar enough not to get lost. But different enough to merit exploration!" Nick shouted at them. Setsuna crossed her arms and chimed in, "I still think it's a little lazy." Nick shrugged his shoulders, "Hey! if we could save money by just doing a simple palette swap and a small and minor adjustments then more power to it." He said as he snapped his fingers and showed Nex al the ingredients have been bought. "So should we summon it now?" Nick looked at Nex. However before she could answer, Nobody popped out of the sha
