Hey guys sorry for the lack of activity. Been lazy and what not. I always liked Magus and will try to keep him character as much as I can. I don't own any of the characters in Chrono Trigger. They belong to Square Enix. I only own my OC's. Enjoy!
600 AD Middle Ages.
All was quiet in the home of the great Magus. For those who heard of the Leader of the Mystics humans would tremble in fear. Magus was a skilled wizard and his magical skills out ranked most of those in his army. The dark mage was around thirty years old in human years. Many years ago he used to be Janus a prince of the Zeal Empire. Back then his only friends were his cat Alfador and his sister Schala. Their once kind and loving mother descended into madness and became obsessed with summoning a creature named Lavos.
The summoning required Schala to use her magic against her wishes. All hell broke lose one day and a gate had appeared underneath the young prince. It sent him to the time 600 AD where a fiend lord by the name of Ozzie found him and eventually adopted the former prince. Ever since Magus had been hard at work to finding a way to summon Lavos, and kill him as vengeance for the suffering it made his sister go through and his mother's downward spiral.
The King of the Mystics closed his spell book having accomplished less than yesterday. He sighed and rubbed a gloved hand against his forehead. His research for summoning Lavos was taking its toll on him and his patience. Around his neck he wore his sisters pendant.
"Schala I will find a way to save you" Magus whispered to himself.
When those words left his lips his castle suddenly shook and this caught the mage off guard. Alarmed he went to a nearby window worried to see if the humans found his lair. Nothing but black forest looked back at him. But Magus could sense something had made his home to shake like that. Something large and with magic.
"Lord Magus!"
Ozzie entered the room and was out of breath. Slash and Flea two others of Magus's personal guard appeared next to the panting Ozzie.
"Search the grounds and woods" Magus commanded.
Flea and Slash nodded before they disappeared. If there was anything in the forest that would pose a threat Slash and Flea would take care of it.
Magus left the window and walked over to the table that contained his research. He grabbed his scythe and turned to Ozzie. Ozzie waved a hand telling his lord that he would keep the castle under control which Magus responded with a nod before he called upon his magic. The fiend lord reappeared in the area where he sensed the magic was closest before starting his search.
For at least an hour Magus followed the magic trail without any luck. He wondered if whatever had fallen into his forest was dead. Then the smell of blood hit him hard. Magus picked up his pace and walked faster. As he got closer the blood smell got stronger and the magic he sensed got closer. He wasn't prepared for the sight he came upon a few minutes later.
Before him lay two dragons and a black panther. Both dragons had icy blue scales with red in their wing membranes. Each of them had two fins on the sides of their faces with matching red membranes within them. Two ivory horns lay on top of the dragons heads and the largest of the two dragons was licking the smaller one. Dragons were shy creatures and didn't interact with humans or fiends much. They lived all over Guardia and Magus wondered if this dragon pair were actually shifters.
Whatever the case the smaller dragon was not responding to its larger companion. Magus then saw a large wound on the smaller dragons side. The bigger dragon looked like it had been through one hell of a fight as well as the panther. The panther had lesser injuries and the mage sensed life within the large cat.
Two katana swords lay behind the larger dragon. Both had matching handles the color of red with blue diamonds encrusted in them. The larger dragon finally noticed Magus and it roared. Magus was ready to attack but the angry dragon simply unleashed another roar making the ground shake beneath him making him drop his weapon.
"Lord Magus!" Flea exclaimed arriving with Slash.
Their eyes widened at the dragon before them. Slash jumped into the air but the dragon used it's tail to hit him hard in the gut. The swords master was thrown against the tree and he fell to the ground. The dragon gave another deadly growl as it coiled it a body around the smaller dragon protecting it. Magus eyed the way the large dragon kept close to the smaller one. Silver reptilian eyes glared back at the mage. A black slit like pupil lay in the center of the dragons eye. Then the larger dragon suddenly turned its head to its companion. Magus no longer sensed life and the young dragon was dead. The larger dragon nudged the smaller dragon and even tried to lick it awake before it realized her companion was dead.
"The larger one is female" Flea told Magus just as Slash came to.
The dragoness gave out a shriek that Magus recognized. Grief of losing a loved one. The female dragon nudged the smaller dragon before continuing her shrieks of anguish.
"What is it shrieking for?" Slash asked coming to Flea's side.
"It's companion is dead" Magus answered simply.
Suddenly the dragons body began to smoke red which puzzled Magus along with Flea and Slash. When the smoke cleared a woman with dark red hair with silver eyes glared back at them. She wore what appeared to be a dress of some kind and it was now torn up. Blood soaked her skin but the woman didn't care. The two katana blades went to her hands and she prepped to fight despite her weakened state. Magus chose that moment to attack. He used his fist to punch the woman hard and the mysterious female fell limp in his grasp.
Her swords fell to the ground and just as the black panther sank it's fangs into Magus's cape. Flea used a sleep spell which hit the panther. The black cat gave a low growl before it released its hold on Magus. It's body smoked black and a small black lay in the panthers place.
"Take the cat and clean it up" Magus told Slash.
Slash went over to the cat and picked it up into his grasp. He then disappeared while Flea went over to the dead dragon.
"What about this one?" Flea asked.
"It's dead but clean it up as well"
Magus then threw the unconscious dragon shifter over hid shoulder and retrieved his scythe. Then he used magic to return to the castle. Since Flea was busy he would tend to this shifters wounds. He chose a nearby room and summoned sheets to cover the floor. He lay the woman down and again used his magic to remove her dress. The fiend lord had his past share of lovers and saw enough of the female body. First he used his powers to sense any fractures, internal bleeding, etc.
This female was lucky but she would be in pain for a few days or weeks. That gave him time to decide what to do with her. Magus held his gloved hand up and it glowed black. The scratches and stab wounds automatically healed. Then he used his magic again to remove the blood. Once gone Magus had a proper view of her body.
The mage could tell she was a fighter by the way her arms were shaped and that amused him. Female warriors were always enjoyable to fight because of their spirit. And Magus knew this woman had spirit in her. He then conjured a night dress onto the dragon shifter before taking her into his arms. The fiend lord placed the dragoness onto the bed and made her comfortable before he turned away. He ordered for some of his fiends to get rid of the sheets and guard her door. Now it was up to Magus whether the dragon shifter live or die.
