Harry's shadow
Tags: Harry, Bob, Vampires, Magic
I'm not what you would call a real wizard. If anything I might be called a hedge witch, since I can make and operate magical artifacts. My parents were the ones who introduced me to do the side of the world no one ever really sees: the one with magic and beasts that go bump in the night. My whole world changed when I met Harry though. He is someone who saved my life from one of those monsters.
It all started at night in chicago, the shadows were long and bled together with flickering bulbs guiding the roads parallel with the highway. Walking around I was looking for a staff my father had lost the other day here running from some form of beast.
After walking for a few hours I was going to head back until I saw someone sprawled out on the ground, abdomen heaving violently. The closer I got I could see their skin glowing faintly and lines moving with symbols sporadically across the person, or rather things body.
Reaching for my own amulet I chanted to it hoping for a barrier strong enough to hold back whatever this thing was if it decided to actually get up. Out of the shadows appeared a man with a staff in one hand and a skull in the other.
"I don't want to hear it Bob, just let me do this my way" The man clad in black yelled to the skull as he chanted to his staff and a set of flames came out and attacked the creature. "Bob get out of this skull and trap this fiend" he kept yelling.
A green mist ascended from the skull and wrapped itself around the creature "Harry you don't get to tell me what to do just because you let my skull sit around on your shelves gathering dust" said a high pitched and airy voice.
The creature began to writhe in pain as the man and the spirit seemed to drag it into the ground, trapping it underneath a circular set of runes that appeared out of thin air. "That should be the last one Bob, you did a good job for once."
"Did you see the boy looking at you Harry?" As the skull turned and with glowing eyes seemed to look into my soul.
"W-what are you" I barely managed to stammer.
"My names Harry and i'm a wizard! A warden actually taking on whatever inner part of the white council decided to unleash around the city in revenge. "
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Apparently being alive from what I understand, since my family seemed to be a huge part of it. Also is this staff yours?"
"Yes, it's my fathers." As he grabs the staff that was underneath the creature, as it pulses black.
"Tell your father it's mine now, someone has augmented it and made it more powerful -"
"Harry another one has popped up in the south!" The skull reverberated.
"Gotta go boy, head home and steer clear of the streets at night. " As he vanished into the shadows and was gone.
Later I found out apparently Harry was the one who ended all of the vampires being in the world. Some say it was out of revenge, others tell me it was because he was just fulfilling his duty to the council. I don't know where he is now but he is what I want to be. Once I find out where he went i'm going to make sure to become his apprentice.
