• Chapter Two – Page Eleven

  The school bell rang, and the once silent halls began to fill with teenagers preparing to go back home. It was already past 5, and all the afternoon activities of the school were finally over. With few exceptions, only the high school students were at school at this time. Some groups came from the gymnasium where the sport practices took place, others were leaving their respective classes. Melina had come out of the chemistry class, so she went to her [...]

  Celeste got close to him, gave him a soft kiss on the lips and a long hug. “Come, we’ve got to figure what to do next.” “So, what is the situation?” Asked Tabitha who got out of her pack a notebook and a pen. “Well, we have apparently an international group of summoners trying to bring into this world a powerful demon. We don’t know why, or how they came to this knowledge.” Fiona said while keeping an eye on [...]

  They did not find any way of opening the door from the inside, but this was expected from the place where they kept their prisoners. Tabitha got near the door, put her hand over the rusty iron door. As the electricity flowed from her hand, she examined the mechanical system behind the operation of the door. She signaled everyone to be ready, as she concentrated her energy and the gears hidden in the walls turned to open the door. Everyone [...]

  Fiona took another blow from the lizard’s tail, and this time it sent her skidding next to Celeste. As she observed the beast preparing to charge her, she couldn’t avoid thinking there was little space to hold that thing off at this point. Before she began running towards the beast, she said to Celeste “Hurry up with that, you’ve got a few more seconds only.”. She put her sword to the side, pointing low and back, and blue icicles began [...]

  Fiona stepped back to avoid being gored, and tried to swing at the monster only to meet his protection once again. As long as it did not charge or build momentum it was slow enough, and she could keep distracting it, the only problem was space. She couldn’t move to the center where it was more spacious because of the pull, and in the corner near the door was Celeste, whom she had to keep safe for the time being. [...]

  He was not the focused type, but he rarely let anything lose control over his powers, this time, the hatred and disappointment broke any form of concentration he had. As the invisibility shroud disappeared, he just stood there, using the pillar as support, as he stared at the center of the room. On the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood, was the corpse of the young boy sacrificed. ‘No older than 14.’ Diogo thought. In his chest a ceremonial [...]

  “He went downstairs, behind the counter. Without any sort of surprise element, we should be fairly vulnerable going into their territory. You should conceal yourself and take point, specially since you can see in the dark.” Fiona pointed out to Diogo, who just glanced at her and at the counter. Diogo concentrated his energy, creating a wave of darkness that swept around him, making him invisible as it passed. While that Jacob went to the counter, and examined the stairs [...]

  Celeste and Jacob finished their incantation just after the car explosion. They said the keywords “Dispel Magic” as they pointed towards the fissures in the sky, and they started to close, immediately ending the spell causing the fire shower. As soon as they finished casting, Jacob leaped down to check up on Tabitha who had just caught the woman Fiona tossed at her, and Celeste teleported beside Diogo as he ran to check up on Fiona. Estela went as soon [...]

  Diogo kept distracting the statue, mostly dodging, and occasionally blocking the attack with the energy shields. This was getting boring, and he was concerned that it could lead to someone else getting hurt, so he rushed Fiona a little. “So, you know I don’t mind serving as distraction, especially since this doesn’t even qualify as a workout, but could you hurry up a bit before someone gets hurt?” “Oh come on, there is no one around to get hurt. Besides, [...]

  As soon as Jacob landed, he put Estela back on the ground, not a moment before Tabitha and Celeste reappeared beside them. As they observed the flames dispersing in the air, leaving only a scorched mark on the ground, people began to panic, most of which ran out of the plaza. Only two people with their cameras stood there, trying to capture this weird moment. Diogo got up, and waving his hands swiftly and reciting a familiar enchantment. Then two [...]

  Everyone woke up early. Despite the sun light, the air remained cold in the city of Paris. They prepared their gear, concealing whatever was necessary, and taking only the essential. Tabitha walked beside Jacob, chatting vividly, showing of her blue dress with long sleeves, Jacob always had fun with her high spirits, though he didn’t care that much how he dressed, so long as it didn’t give any trouble to move. He preferred his blue serge pants, along with a [...]
