Cha 29: Second Air Battle
Odale felt sick. She had been on the Dragon Boat during a flyte once before, and it wasn't a good memory. Infact, it barely was a memory. Then she had nearly gotten consumed, and honestly she didn't remember much more than the sounds. Odale moaned, even though all her years as DomDaniel's apprentice nothing could prepare her for this. Odale opend her eyes, and looked up to the sky. The something caught her eye; something shining bright came against them in an very high spped. She shriked, that was an thunder flash. She jumped up from where she sat, and parried it. Odale looked around, and then something caught her eye. "Sep, the cloud!" she exclaimed, and pointed at the grey cloud that had been over them at aunt Zelda's. "Simon!" Septimus muttered. "What!?" Nicko and Jenna asked with one mouth. Odale swore loudly. "What do you think he'll do, Odale?" Nicko asked. "I don't really know, but I got a feeling about that he won't just drop by and say 'hey, nice boat'." Odale answerd. They saw an figure came out of the cloud. "Hm, maybe we should hurry up a little." Nicko muttered. "But I don't know how." Septimus said, but at once the boat begun to fly faster. Suddenly they could see Simon clearly. Septimus stared at his brother- there was something different with him... He had an eyepatch for some reason. Septimus smirked, he had probably gotten hurt somehow. "I'm going to make you stop grinning if you don't puts down this... this mutant." Simon shouted to Septimus. "What did he say?" Odale wondered. "I don't no, Ods, probably he said something stupid. As usual." Nicko said loudly. "Give me the Queenling, and I'm letting the rest of you go!" Simon shouted. "Haven't you heard that these words never works, freshman!?" Odale answerd, and for a moment she forget a little where she was. "You better comes down!" she continude. Simon growled something, and sent away an thunder flash. With an simple flick she sent back to Simon, who just ducked. Simon stayed for a while where he were to catch his breath. Then Odale picked out something from her pocket. "What is that, Odie?" Septimus asked nerveousley. "You'll see." Odale answerd with an smirk, and held the magnifyer so that the sun got reflected in the brass-handle. She directed the magnifyer so that Simon got the solar cat in the one of Simon's eye that hadn't an eyepatch. It took a while before the reaction, but suddenly Simon's hand flew up to his eye. He shrieked, and flew away to see what it was that had blinded him. But Odale followed his movements, and now Simon tried to escape the darke curse that seemed to follow him- he had felt the darke in the magnifyer. Soon he understand what it was. "You!" he shouted furiousley to Odale, "That'll be the last thing you'll ever do!". Shaking in anger he pulled out an thunder flash. Odale was not preparedfor it this time, and too late she understood that she couldn't save anyone. Anyways she shuffed Jenna away as far as she could. But she knew that it wouldn't help much. The thunder flash hitted the Dragon Boats left wing, and the boat begun to loose height quickly. Odale mumbled a few words to slow down the fall. "No, do something against the darke one.". Odale blinked shocked. Was that the Dragon Boat? Whoever it was, she aimed at Simon with a thunder stun. Odale didn't want to waste power, and the fall would kill him anyways. Her thunder stun hitted Simon perfectly well, and he flew away from the boat.
Merrin was just in an loud fight with aunt Zelda. She had seen him watch the fight with an darke binocular that he had found a few weeks earlier. And she had interpreted his expression as maliciousley (which it of course hadn't been, he had been worried for Odale). Then Simon Heap had landed in an small dam close Merrin, and Merrin had gotten soaking wet, which hadn't maded him much happier. Merrin was tired about that aunt Zelda always told him what to do, it annoyed him very much. She was nextuntil as DomDaniel. Or no, she was worse. DomDaniels had at least letted him has his own stuff, and Odale too. Aunt Zelda had missed the huge splash that Simon had achieved when he fell down into the small dam nearby Merrins 'hideout'. Something drawed Merrin to Simon, there was something that told him that Simon could fix what Merrin was searching for. Something to do. Merrin had helped Simon up, and now they watched eachother. Simon felt that Merrin maybe could be useful in the future. "So you lives here with the witch?" he asked Merrin. "N-no." Merrin answerd, as if living with aunt Zelda was something to be ashamed for. "Of course you do. And where did you find that binocular?" Simon continude, that boy was... special. "And if you didn't live here, where would you else live at this dump?". "Well, sure it's a dump, isn't it? That witch has no idéa about how the real stuff looks like." Merrin replied. Simon looked at Merrin. "And you do?" he said lowly. "Yes. I was apprentice to the best necromacer that can ever be found. He confided me everything. Everything." Merrin answerd. Simon looked shocked. So this was one of DomDaniel's last apprentice's. Suddenly Simon got an idéa. "You got to miss him a lot, don't you?" he asked with a voice filled with sympathy. "Yes, I do." Merrin muttered and succéd with convince himself that he missed the nercomacer, "A lot, infact.". Simon eyed the boy again. He wasn't an ideal, but he was enough. And Simon wanted that binocular. "Do you want a job?" Simon asked. "A job?" Merrin asked stunned. "Yes, a job. Something alike the one you had before." Simon said. "How much alike?" Merrin wondered sucpiciousley. "How could I know that?" Simon said, a little bit annoyed, "I don't knows what you did before.". Merrin thougt a bit. Maybe this wasn't such an good idéa, Odale didn't like that man after all... "Merrin Meredith!" aunt Zelda's furious shout cut through the silence, "Get away from that evil man, at once!". The she rushed into the cottage again, she had more important things to do. "So? Do you want the job, or not?" Simon asked, even more irritated. "Go for it." Merrin said. "The we shakes hand on it." Simon said, and gave Merrin his hand. Merrin took his hand, and before he could react he was in the air. "Help!" Merrin shouted, he already regretted his decision, "Someone, help me!". But no one (exept for Simon, who didn't care) heard him.
