Alastair watched as Cara ogled at him, his eyes fixated on her like some predator. Cara on the other hand was begging to give out low guttural grows which made Alastair very uncomfortable. He needed to pull the ghost out of her immediately before it does permanent damage to her mind. The only problem was that he did not remember the particular spell needed to do it. The spell needed to exorcise a demon was different from the spell needed to exorcise a ghost. Using one instead of the other would result in damage to the recipient of the spell as well as to the mage who cast it."Cara, if you can hear me, I need you to focus on my voice. I need you to fight it off. It is not stronger than you. It is under your control. You just need to realize it and break free from its clutch. Focus, Cara."He said to her as she continued to growl. His words were not working. He had no idea what to do at that moment, and when Cara suddenly charged and jumped at him, he knew things were about to get wor
There was darkness around him at first and the only thing Alastair could hear was the sound of his breath. It was deep, raspy, and possibly shaken. The darkness surrounded him like a large cloak, soaking and draining away all forms of light within him. He could feel his soul slowly getting corrupted. He knew the illusion was Fristborn's work, or what it was that looked like Fristborn. Crazy things were happening that day and the only way he could make it out alive was to become even crazier.Slash!"Argh!"Alastair groaned as large claws found their way across his back. The pain shook him to his core but it was still dark. Another slash and he was on the ground, grunting in pain. He could not hear footsteps so as to predict where the attack was coming from. How could he predict what he could not hear or smell?And then another slash came and Alastair's face was torn. He did not bleed through, however, his pain was so great that it would have been better if he bled. Alastair knew he h
Alastair dashed towards Cara and quickly wrapped her up in his arms. She was cold, very cold, like someone who was about to die. But she could not exactly die, could she? Alastair picked her up and dashed towards the house. Her breath was barely noticeable. She gave out short groans at regular intervals and she was shivering.Alastair quickly rushed her to the house and lay her down on a table. He sighed as he gazed at her, trying to figure out what was wrong. Alastair stretched forth his hand towards Cara and as a Bright light shone forth from his hand, he watched as cara's Body became enveloped within the light. The light was radiating so bright at first, but then, it suddenly became dim.In horror, Alastair gazed at Cara's energy core. It was flickering like a candlelight. Her energy was weak and it was only the Phoenix's breath of life that was keeping her alive. Alastair quickly tried to shift some of his energy into her. It was a technique mages used to save other mages who were
Something cold and slimy began to wrap around Alastair's leg as he awakened from his slumber. There was a low hissing sound coming from the beast as well well. Alastair did not need a mage to tell him that it was a snake, a rather large one at that. As the snake continued to crawl, Alastair struggled to breathe.Whatever it was that the necromancer had blown on his face, it was strong enough to make him weak, tired, and still sleepy. He could barely keep his eyes open. The snake crawled from his leg up toward his face. It glared at him and hissed angrily.As it was about to bite Alastair on the face, Alastair shielded himself and wrapped the shield around the snake like a box. The snake hissed angrily while it was being caged and Alastair threw the box far away from the house.The box landed with a thud and shattered, with the snake escaping into the forest. Alastair groaned loudly as he tried to stand up. His lower body was paralyzed. He groaned even louder when he tried to move his
Thrumming.The energy in his hand reminded him of what he had come to do. Alastair glanced over his shoulder repeatedly to see if any of those creatures were still lingering around. He did not want any more surprises. He did not even like surprises.He took steady but calculated steps as he walked towards the house. Something told him that there were booby traps around. He stepped carefully, making sure to listen to the ground beneath before he took another step. If you listen hard enough, you could hear the secrets that lay beneath the ground.Alastair missed a step and nearly stepped on a spot where a soft thrumming sound was coming from. He quickly used his magic to shield his legs while he stepped down. There was no telling what such a magical trap could do. And so, he was able to avoid all others that lay beneath the ground.Alastair got to the entrance of the house which was filled with dark energy. The energy repelled his mage side, but at the same time, it attracted the sorcer
Joanna dodged the energy Alastair had shot at her and began to mutter some words while she twisted her hand. She looked aggressive and fierce and what came out of her hand was a skull-like mass of energy which she shot at Alastair.Alastair caught the energy and redirected it back to Joanna. The energy blasted her away and slammed her on the wall. She cried out as she hit the wall, probably not expecting that move from Alastair. She looked at him, smiled, and hoisted herself up."Tell me, Alastair, would you be able to sit still if your dead children had a one in a million chance of coming back to this world, alive?" She asked him and stepped closer to him. He was careful."I have no children. And if they are dead, I will let them remain dead." Alastair replied to her and she charged at him as she tried to attack.Alastair dodged the strike, punched her in the face, and slammed her on the ground. She cried out and growled, and that growl caused a powerful rift of energy to shoot out o
"Vector, listen to me. You are alive today because destiny says so. The truth is, you were supposed to die twenty years ago and even now, you have been living on borrowed time. There is someone you are going to save with your life in the future. That is why you are still alive. You have a very important role to play in this madness that is about to get unleashed. Do not fuck it up or all will be lost."The words reverberated through Blaize's mind as he dodged a punch coming from the tall, large man hulking towards him. The crowd around them boomed with cheers as Blaize dodged the hit. The man came at him again but that time, he struck Blaize to the ground and growled loudly.The other side of the crowd cheered loudly as Blaize crashed. The man kept growling, Basking in what he supposed was Victory. "Fuck!" Blaize cursed while he attempted to stand up. But before he knew it, the man's feet had collided with his ribs and he was flying through the air before he crashed on the ground. A
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was not the outcome we had expected, yet again..." The orator began as Blaize walked out of the ring. He was done fighting for the night and the orator better not bring up any more games."But, as promised, some of you got to go home richer than you came here and majority of you lost your money in the process, and as you know, we have to move on..." The last statement upset the crowd who began to mutter and curse while she just laughed a t them all.No matter how loud and upsetting their voices were, she managed to speak louder than them all."Next up, is the cheetah versus the Goldenpole..."As Blaize continued to walk, her voice was fading out already. But he no longer cared. He was done for the night. Blaize smiled softly as he kept gliding through the ogling people he met along the way. That all heard about him already-the newcomer who had managed to defeat and beat every opponent in the ring.Some of the people liked his fierceness, others, howev
