If you do not need to be a witch to cast powerful spells, then my oc can do all this with a year of training I think...
I waited to put up the next chapter to make sure I really did this story justice.
"What the hell?" David frowned, a rush of magic filled the air potent and dark. It lingered in the air and he could not help but track it down, hoping one of the innocent kids of his class was not consumed by it's power. "What is dark magic doing at the Zoo?" Sniffing it out, he found his way towards the Hyena exhibit, only it was closed. There was two girls talking to a Zookeeper about the Hyenas, loudly and with great fear.
"The Masai tribesmen told me that hyenas are capable of understanding human speech. They follow humans around by day, learning their names. At night, when the campfire dies, they call out to a person. Once they separate him, the pack " The man snapped his fingers. "...devours them."
Activating one of his talismans, David turned invisible and hurried past the man and made his way into the exhibit... only to watch as a group of bullies were pressing a boy into the bars, bearing down on his neck towards the hyenas. David saw red and was ready to intervene, eager to give them a taste of their own medicine.
"Ow! Stop it! It's not funny!" The bully victim said, just as another boy hurried in and pulled their arms off of him and helped him away.
"Why don't you pick on somebody your own species?"
The bullies' leader turned to him, sneer on his face. "What, are you gonna get in my face?"
It was here that the air filled with tremendous power and David swayed, all of their eyes turning to the Hyenas as they growled with a depth they should not have been capable of. David watched with horror as the Hyena's eyes burned green. He shivered as a powerful, timid presence burned against his consciousness not unlike when he channeled a god's powers, only far weaker.
Images burned in his head, of a tiny creature being bitten by powerful females, the taste of fear and hate in his heart. Starvation was a constant... and with that David turned and ran out of the exhibit, making his way to the bathroom just as his invisibility turned off. "The hell... what is in my head?" He focused with all his power and magic, ready to cast a powerful spell to purge his body of influence but before the words left his lips, he heard a plea.
"STOP!" The voice was a growling whine, fear and love in it. 'Don't banish, not bad... won't hurt... help... brother... new brothers... fight females... bad females... '
Growling, he sat on the toilet and started to meditate, getting a feel for the creature in his mind. 'What are you?'
"Primal... Hyena spirit... with human words... we bond... you more hyena... I more human... I not take over mind... I bond... Hyena males tortured to death... this better...t his safer... this my choice... I stay with you, with brother David."
There was a rush of honesty in the creature's words, a taste of freedom and desire, he knew it was telling the truth. He felt it's genuine fear, it's hate of the females of it's species that hurt it. He felt's it's will and knew it would not take over his mind. He would be safe, and it would help him... he knew it as it was a part of him, they were bound and in that way no lies could be given to each other.
With that in mind, David stood tall. 'The moment you take over, I get rid of you. I expect rent... what perks do I get from... wait, did this bathroom smell so nauseating before? I can literally taste the piss on the floor and I... ew..." He shuddered, as senses bombarded him, too distracted before to notice. "Is this your gifts?"
'Stronger senses, stronger body, not on par with females... but still... safer... I sense bad beings...evil here...you feel it too... we are safer... together...'
Nodding, he sighed. 'I will check out my new powers tonight, but what about the others?'
'Dangerous, bad... evil... in the others... I help you get rid of them... but please, don't get rid of I!'
'I won't... not if you continue to be honest and helpful... now... let's just through this field trip and see how things go...' Sighing, he ignored the burgeoning headache boiling in his mind as the raw scents started to become overwhelming stressing him almost as much as the situation itself... who would have guessed that trying to do good would be so complicated... 'I'll offer something to Diana, she is the Goddess of Animals and children, I am young so she should be able to purge you if you are bad for me... that... that is a start.'
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joy to write, a bit clunky but fun.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
