ORPHEN: Retribution
Chapter 6
Orphen sat on his bed in his room. The door was loccked so as no one could come in watch him at this moment. On the small table beside him lay many sparkling things. A few rings, bracelets, and some necklaces. All of which Cleo had picked up at the store that day. All of which she discarded after he had said his words. He didn't feel for her but it was his fault she had layed them back down. So he had bought them for her. He had meant to give them to her earlier but now she was on a sorcerer type thing. Would she want them anymore. Coming from him would she want them at all. Kevin lay in his bed, A tiny red gem in his hands above him. On the gem he had cast a farsight spell. He was curious to know why Orphen had been gone so long even though he had left before them. The gem showed him the answer. He had went back and bought all of the jewelry that Cleo had seen. All the pieces she had put away after he called them stupid. Now Orphen just sat there looking at them. It made Kevin smile. Majic sat in his room thinking. For some reason Orphen would not allow him to enter his room. He had told him to go to sleep and talk in the morning. It was usual for the boy's master to do that but this time Majic felt there was a special reason other than rest behind it. Majic decided that if his master wanted him to know he would tell him so his mind switched to the subject of his studies. Kevin's trick had helped a lot. but his concentration had been broken by Orphen's words. Right now he had no distraction. He decided to try a spell. The room was lit by candles and lamps. He decided the spell.
Majic: Veil of Darkness, That Surrounds Me!
Instantly darkness reigned in the room. No lights could be seen. Majic smiled. He had done it.
Majic: Dispell thy Darkness!
Majic was pround of himself. But not as proud as.... Orphen felt magic energy increase in Majic's direction. Had his student used a spell. Orphen jumped up from his bed and unlocked his door. he jogged to majic's door and knocked.
Majic: Come in.
Orphen did. He looked at Majic.
Orphen: Do it again.
Majic: Do what?
Orphen: Whatever spell you did a minute ago.
Majic: Veil of Darkness, That Surrounds Me!
Once again all light sources in the room were snuffed out.
Orphen: Good. Really good Majic.
Majic: Really master?
Orphen: Yes. Yes Majic that was really good.
Majic: Dispell thy Darkness!
The room returned to normal, candles lit and lamp ablaze. Orphen was actually smiling. Not a big smile. But enough to see that it was there. He walked over to the boy and ruffled his hair.
Orphen: I am proud of you Majic.
Majic: Thank you master.
Orphen: I'll see you in the morning.
Majic: Ok master. Good night.
Orphen left the room. Even after he had left Majic's smile was so bright that it may have been able to break the veil of darkness had the spell been cast again. He felt really good. And he knew why his spells were messing up. Visualiztion, and Concentration. For now he would need silence to use a spell but he would continue to polish that. _____________________________________
The next morning Orphen felt refreshed. He had had a good night's sleep and Majic was reclaiming his sorcerous abilities. Pretty soon Majic will be able to cast Light's Blade again. It made Orphen Prouder than he had been in a long time. During the night before Orphen had also realized a great change in himself. He was not self-centered and overly violent anymore. The feelings of Others actually meant something to him. He had always cared for people. Like that family with the pregnant dog living in the town with a active volcano. That situation was very sad to him. But he would never cry. Kevin walked down the stairs and spotted Orphen having some cofee at one of the tables. He went to the bar and got a glass himself before sitting down.
Kevin: So where to now?
Orphen: Herlove.
Kevin: What was that story again on how these places were named?
Orphen: they say that a rich man fell in love with a woman and in order to show his love to her he made three cities. Each city had something he loved about her. Hermind, Herlove, and Herbody.
Kevin: I see. Sounds like he loved her alot.
Orphen: I guess so. The funny thing is in Herbody they have two domed shaped building they call the breast plaza.
Kevin: (laughing) and there we see which part of her he liked the most.
Orphen: probably.
Kevin: Will we be staying in Herbody? My god that sounds perverted.
Orphen: (laughing) Probably. ----------------------------------------
Cleo stood before the mirror. She really liked her yellow dress but it was a small sacrifice.
Cleo: I look damn good in this If I can say so myself.
Majic: It is your body so i guess you have the right.
Cleo: Majic! How many times do I have to tell you! Don't enter a lady's room without knocking.
Majic: Your door was opened, Cleo. Anyway, get dressed it is time to go.
Cleo: Get dressed? I am dressed.
Majic: You're actually gonna wear that?
Cleo: If I wasn't gonna wear it why would I have it on!?
Majic: Can't wait till master sees this.
Cleo: Orphen saw it last night.
Majic: (snickering) Oh he did, did he?
Cleo: NOT LIKE THAT YOU PERVERT! WIND, CARRY HIM FROM MY SIGHT!
Majic's face showed shock as he heard the incantation. Even more so when a gust of wind blew him in the direction of his room. She could use sorcery? Since when? After the wind had dumped him on his bed he jumped up and ran downstairs. Master had to hear about this. Majic jumped the last steps and ran to Orphen's table.
Majic: Master! Cleo! She (huff) She used sorcery!
Orphen: Yeah. I know. It was a gift from Leki. She used it on you huh?
Majic: Yes. A gift from Leki! That deep dragon child gave her sorcery.
Orphen: Yep. And she is also gonna be included in your lessons from now on. So what spell did she use on you?
Majic: A wind spell. Carried me all the way back to my bed.
Kevin: She has gotten pretty good.
Orphen: Yeah. In no time she'll be casting Light's Blade.
Majic: Wish I had a deep dragon to give me powers.
Orphen: You don't need one. You were born with them. Leki just gave her the powers not the ability to use them. She got that from watching your lessons. That mean anything to you. She used the same lessons as you and she can cast a good array of spells. Maybe you should listen better?
Majic: I guess so.
Kevin: Always pay attention to every word. Then follow it to the letter.
Majic: Ok. From now on I am gonna be the best student ever.
Kevin: Glad to hear it.
Orphen: Let's just hope you can keep to it. If not you'll be the only one in this group that can't use sorcery.
Kevin: Yes and it will be your own fault. Not trying to insult you kid. Just work harder at it. Do exactly what Orphen says.
Majic: Ok. I will become a top-notch Mage!
Kevin: Yes you shall.
Cleo walked down the steps in her new attire.
Cleo: I heard some loud talking.
Majic: Welcome to the School de Orphen.
Orphen: Yeah. Class begins at three.
