Another successful victory. Zane smiled as he watched the witch before him turn to ashes from Kai's fire. He could have never completed this task without him and the other ninja.
If only his guardian could understand.
It had been only a week since he'd found out the truth. About his being originally a human/serpentine hybrid. About his mother's special powers. About the line of magic royalty in his blood from his mother, which now allows him to switch easliy between organic and metalic.
Then, there were things he didn't enjoy. Like his guardian, for example. A sweet little golden fairy that was an amulet around his neck most of the time. Apparently, all known White Witch royalty had a guardian fairy. She seemed nice, when she was in amulet form. And she could heal Zane and anyone that he wishes, he just couldn't use all his magic to save someone, it cuts into his life energy and can cause him to die since he can only perform spells in his organic form.
The only problem with his guardian was that it was making him have to choose. He'd have to choose within the next few weeks whether he wanted to accept his princely role among White Witches or stay a ninja and his older brother would take the throne, being heir anyway.
Zane wished he could have the best of both worlds. He wanted to care for people, especially family, but the ninja were also his family, and he could never leave them.
If only his guardian could see how much the five boys needed each other, and how helpful they could be when fighting Dark Witches.
Especially, with the Dark Witches ceremony coming soon.
