I was in class when the attack happened. We were learning about how to open the daut when an explosion was heard outside the door. I looked over to my friend Joshua whose red eyebrows were stitched together in confusion. Suddenly Landon my best friend burst through the door soot covering his light skin and sweat weighing down his blonde hair with black highlights. His bow in one hand and his time controlling pocket watch in the other. "Get your weapons it is time to defend the 5th Nome," Then Landon ran out with his bow out firing at something. Joshua grabbed his Khopesh to help him channel his energy. I grabbed my bottomless/weightless bag and started setting up protection spells around the classes with the less experienced students. I went to door to door saying "Jeub" until I saw the familiar glimmer coming from the entrance showing the force field was up. I follow the path of Taweret patron of childbirth and protector of children while my friends Landon and Joshua follow the path of Khonsu god of time and the moon (Landon) and Anhur god of war and hunting (Joshua).
With the spells up you could see the light twinkle every once in the while at the doors. I looked for either Joshua or Landon but found Lamonica with her Light brown hair clung to her head with sweat. "Do you know where Landon is or Joshua is?" I asked. She shook her head and answered "No but you should go to the west wing Gisele needs your help protecting the little ones even with your forcefield." I ran to the west wing seeing Gisele fighting a large snakes with fangs the size of bananas with her spear. I saw a snake sneaking behind her and threw a knife from my bag yelling "Agji". The knife turned into a long and thick metal chain that wrapped the snake in a hog type way with it's head and tail tied close. She used the spear to stab through the other snakes head and watched as it turned to sand. I remembered what I was told when I got in the first day of class ''from sand they come to sand they go back'. I saw that the door was blown off the hinges to the classroom and went to repairing it." Bay-jl" and the door went back to the hinge. "You okay?' I said. "Yeah thanks for the help," came her reply. We went into the classroom that had the door that I fixed a moment ago. I looked around and saw that it was nine year old class. I waved at them and turned to Gisele " You seem to have this under control I am going to check other places."
I left and headed towards the main entrance. What I saw surprised me. My fellow Magicians fight monsters and demons galore I was really scared. It surprised me the most was to see magicians on the opposing side. They had an H written on their blood red armor on the chest in a nightmare black and there face was covered in a mask that left nothing but the eyes. I did not recognize the H but being stationed in Alaska has it's downfalls. It is out of the gods power and so it is hard to get the latest news on what is happening. We only heard about these Kane kids a month after the their first adventure. Luckily we still have magic but the monsters are much more powerful. So to combat that we developed better spells. I saw Almeda Surface the 5th Nome leader ordering people to different positions. I walked up to her and asked "Where am I needed?" She looked at me her amber eyes boring into me. "You can help Landon and Joshua to try to stop them from coming in or slow down the flow." I nodded and ran over to the where I saw Joshua was at. "Good you are here look can you try to make a barrier for the main door?" Joshua said with his hawk headed avatar around him.
I went and grabbed a wand from my bag and started to have tornados to push some of the monsters back. After that I went to some rubble I found and called Landon over. "Watch my back I have to do something that will take some time." "You know what path I follow you need time well I am the man." Landon said with a cheeky grin. "No time for jokes." I yelled. After that I started the set a force field for the main entrance. I was half way done when I felt a gust of wind to hit me in the back. "Not so fast miss." a smooth voice says. I turn around and see he is only a boy around 14 but that did not make him less threatening with his strong build. He is wearing the same uniform his comrades are wearing and his eye holes show icy blue eyes that had a malicious glint in them.
I reached for my bag when I released that it was blown off and a few feet away. He saw my glance and said "I won't try it you are not the only one with knives." He takes out a two knives out of Daut that are gleaming in the light of the room. I looked for Landon only to see him busy with another of the magicians working with the boy in front of me except he is a she. I know Joshua is too far to get here in time so I was on my own. Luckily I have my knife that is in a sheath that I always carry around just as a safety net. The problem is it is only one knife and I had to make it count.
