Ch. 8
A last resort
I walked through the portal with my new friend I guess I could call him and a mage I began to wonder if Ekimus had returned yet. I quickly turned around and could see the mage Shavel was looking quite puzzled at were he was.
"Shavel, I've brought you to the gathering of all the lieutenants for a meeting that is suppose to take place in 2 days. The command general should be here at any moment if he isn't here all ready okay?" After that Shavel looked at me and shook his head and sat down in a weird position and began to meditate it looked like. I walked around for a while wondering if Ekimus had returned yet and wondered also were Julie and Joe were.
"Ahh Alex, you have returned finally, why did it take you so long…we have already collected the other mages you need not go out again yet, we will have the meeting in a few hours instead of a few days…is that clear." I looked around to see Ekimus standing by a pillar in the back of the cathedral looking through a glass window that had been boarded up before, I realized what he was doing after awhile, he was looking out at the sun, he hadn't seen it in so long. I guess I hadn't taken the time to look at the sun yet, I'd forgotten the promise that we could, I was actually a little scared to do it.
"Yes sir, I'll tell Shavel the news, would you like to meet him Ekimus, he's kind of cool, cept I hit him in the head with a spell and he knocked out for just a short while, and it wasn't my fault by the way so don't even start pointing fingers at me yet…so there." I said it behind pillar so he couldn't hit more or fire anything at me.
"By the way do you know were Julie and Joe are at Ekimus?"
"They're training in a fire pit in some mountain in Asia, why?" Ekimus said it with almost glee in the thought of Joe being beat up by Julie.
"I just wanted to know were my girlfriend and best friend were, is that a problem?" I started to get angry for no reason again.
"Yes it is actually, you need to put your priorities in perspective here Alex, you don't need to be worrying about Julie while your battling Lucifer and his armies." He started to raze his voice at me, and I hated that, mostly cause I knew he was right.
"That's it I'm outta here…PORTA NAVIGUS." I thought of a desert in Africa. And then the portal opened in front of me, I could see the sun, it was brighter than I'd ever seen it before, even in my memories I could not remember a sun so bright. I quickly went through it and it closed behind me.
I walked out on to the desert and the sun hit my face right away, the warmth was amazing, I couldn't remember the last time I had actually stood in the sun and enjoyed it's warmth, but I sure was taking it in now. I thought of what to do in a desert and I finally came to the decision to train, and maybe make a new spell to show Ekimus when we trained together, and show him what I can really do.
I sat down and began to charge my energy in preparation to try and find a new spell, I had sat there for three hours trying different tones to charge them at, but I hadn't found one yet. I started to think of how I had found the others; I was either very angry or very happy, and once just like this. Then I felt it, I had toned my energies just right, I could feel the power surging through my body and like all the other times the words came, "DEATH PACT." Just as I said it I opened my eyes just in time to see a rat running in front of me and then a surge of green waves shot from my body, and when they hit the rat it froze and the fell down and died, then I saw a very small blue ball of energy rise from it's body and started coming toward me. I was trying to figure out what happened when the ball went into me and I could fell my energy restored a little, I finally figured out that the spell made it so that any living thing around me would have it's energy sucked out, just enough for me to do a simple spell. I started thinking how this could help us, and then disregarded it because it would probably kill my comrades as well as my enemies and to only us it if we were about to lose, so I kept it in the back of my mind.
I sat right back down and with the restored energy thanks from the rat I began to charge my energy again, I sat there for only a short while when I could fell it again, I felt kind of lucky actually to have two spells in one day, I concentrated even more but nothing happened, I could fell the energy but couldn't let it out for some reason, so I put more energy into it, and then some more, and then some more, but still nothing happened. Then finally without warning the words came again, "ARROW OF THE GODS." Suddenly a single arrow and bow appeared in front of me, I picked both of them up and knocked the arrow, I thought in my mind to the old day's of boy scout camp were I'd learn to shoot arrows. I aimed it up at the sky knowing it'd come right back down, I pulled back the string of the bow and let the arrow loose, I saw it rise in the sky and into the clouds, I forgot about my strength and cursed myself for being so stupid, now I couldn't see were it was going to land. I looked up at the sky in just enough time to see it start falling and when it was nearly two hundred feet in the air it split into hundreds of golden arrows. When each hit the ground light shone down from the sky especially bright, then just seconds after the light shone, balls of red energy shoot from the sky in hit the arrows and the ground exploded and left a giant crater in the ground, then I began to think Ekimus was right in telling me not to train in the cathedral anymore.
I was so tired from that spell I decided to go back to the cathedral and tell Ekimus about the two spells. I began to think how deadly the arrow spell was going to be against the Dremeks, I was beginning to see why Ekimus thought this battle was going to be fun, "PORTA NAVIGUS."
