Part One Chapter One

"Okay," Benny muttered under his breath as he flipped through a large, dusty and worn spell book.

"Here it is!" he exclaimed triumphantly his finger resting on a spell. The young spell-master rolled up his sleeves and began to recite the spell. Under normal circumstances he would never try such a powerful and complicated spell, but these were not normal circumstances. His grandmother was away, it was late, he was stressed, and he wasn't thinking.

"…ita tempestas suscipio," he finished, and with a flick of his wrist he sent a beam of yellow light out the opened window and into the night (or early morning) sky before quickly slamming it shut.

Before long rain began to patter on the window and soon a gigantic thunderstorm was raging outside. The triumphant grin he was wearing quickly fell from his face when pain suddenly blossomed in his stomach. It felt as though someone had stabbed him with a knife and was twisting it.

The air in front of him began to ripple and bend before ripping open. Out of the tear came four humanoid creatures; the tear sealed behind them and the pain in Benny's stomach vanished.

"Demons!" Benny thought. "This is bad, really bad!"

The largest Demon, most likely the leader, sniffed the air before letting a blood curling grin spread across his disfigured face.

"Do you smell that?" It snarled happily. The other Demon sniffed the air before grinning.

"A seer," gurgled the scale covered Demon on his right. "He is young and powerful, impossible to miss."

"Yes, Kavin," the leader snarled almost exasperated. "A seer. Larius! The hunt begins!" The smallest Demon nodded his head, his solid black eyes filled with glee. Benny felt panic set in. Ethan, his best friend, was a seer, a young, powerful seer.

"Velieris lemma ex totus quisnam peto target Ethan," Benny quietly whispered under his breath. All four of the Demons' heads snapped toward Benny remembering he was there. Benny gulped.

"Kastial," the leader said looking at Benny. "Thank rest of you shall begin the hunt withme, oh, and Kastial, do be sure to thank him properly." With that three of the four Demons left. Kastial walked over to Benny and help him to his feet.

"I shall not harm you young spell-master," she said releasing him. Benny stumbled backward until he was against a wall. "I wish to thank you on behalf of our leader Kalin for freeing us."

"Thank me how?" Benny asked warily. Kastial thought for a moment.

"I shall free your magic from its binds then take my leave," she said approaching Benny, hand outstretched.

"W-what?" Benny asked nervous and confused.

"Your magic is bound," Kastial said resting her hand on his forehead. "When magic is bound it prevents it from growing and flowing freely through your veins as it should."

Benny blinked still confuse.

"Brace yourself," she hissed, her hand started glowing. The light transferred from her hand and into Benny's body knocking him to the ground unconscious.

"Thank you, young spell-master," Kastial said bowing to the limp figure on the ground. "Until we meet again. Until we meet again." The Demon crawled out the window closing it behind her and disappearing into the night. The clock that rested on Benny's night stand read 2:45 a.m.
