Chapter 17: Seven Years Bad LuckPreviously
"You're going back." Leo informed Chris, "Back to your world. The balance is shifting so you and Wyatt have to swap back. But when your opposite comes through the portal I'm going to be waiting there and it'll be two against one. I'll get you out of there."
"Come on!" yelled Leo, pulling Chris up, "Follow me!"
Leo orbed out of the room closely followed by Chris.
Wyatt staggered to his feet and dematerialised into a swirl of orbs to follow his father and brother.
"Wh…What…Where are we?" gasped Chris, trying to regain his breath. Chris looked around him. He had expected to be in the Overworld but Leo had orbed them elsewhere. It was dark but Chris could make out that they appeared to be in a long hallway, with walls built of stone.
Chris frowned as his eyes became adjusted to the darkness. The hallway had many doors leading off and whichever way Chris looked there didn't appear to be an end to the hallway. It just seemed to keep going until it was swallowed up by the darkness. They were in Magic School.
"Wait. We're in Magic School?" Chris asked, "Why?" Chris turned to Leo to find that he had already set off at a run down the hallway. Chris sprinted to catch up as Leo turned his head slightly and told him, "There something we need to do here."
As Chris and Leo reached the imposing doors of the great hall the hallway behind them was lit up by a blue-white glow. Chris glanced over his shoulder and saw a swirl of orbs coalescing into a human form.
Chris hurriedly followed Leo into the hall and pulled the heavy doors closed behind them. Chris didn't need to see the orb finish to know that it was Wyatt following them.
"Come on!" called Leo, already across the hall and standing in front of a rather diminutive wooden door compared with the doors to the great hall. "Wyatt can orb through the doors. Leave them."
Cursing at himself for his stupidity Chris joined Leo across the hall already hearing Wyatt's footsteps drawing near to the doors.
Leo opened the door and Chris looked puzzled again at the stone wall the door had opened onto. "Wha..." he began, but Leo reached for his arm and stepped through the wall, pulling Chris with him.
"Wow" commented Chris, impressed, as they emerged in an office filled with magical paraphernalia. "Where are we?" he asked again.
"Gideon's office." Leo spoke over his shoulder distractedly, already nearing a tall mirror.
"Who's Gideon?" Chris asked confused. He had never known this place to be here when he went to Magic School and had never heard of anyone called Gideon. "And what's that echo?"
Leo was staring into the mirror. "This is the echo." He told Chris.
Chris walked across the room, skirting the desk, and walked over to the mirror. He gasped as he found himself face to face with…well quite with who, Chris didn't know. They looked like him and his father but they were different; they looked…well….evil.
His reflection, or whatever, was looking just as shocked as he knew he probably looked, "What on earth…?" they both asked.
A loud crash caused both Chris' and Leos to turn and face the entrance. The door blew in with a small explosion and disintegrated into blackened pieces of ash.
Wyatt was standing framed in the doorway.
Up in the Overworld, Zola was staring silently at the floor. He was worried. Wyatt and Chris had crossed back over but there was no sign of Leo and Chris. They hadn't appeared back in the Overworld.
No-one had been able to sense them either. 'They must be with Wyatt' he realised anxiously. Wyatt had blocking spells around him so he couldn't be sensed but the spells also shielded others near to him. 'That must be why they can't be sensed.'
At least the protection spells had been redone. This way, no matter what happened, Wyatt couldn't orb up here again. The rest was up to Leo and Chris.
"What are you doing." Wyatt demanded coldly.
"Stopping this from ever happening again." replied Leo, "The balance mustn't be put in danger of shifting again. This should have been done a long time ago."
"Wait. I'm getting this now, I think. They…" Chris said pointing at the mirror as his opposite did the same, "…they are our opposites from the parallel world, right? So the mirror's like a…a window into that world."
Wyatt clapped his hands sarcastically while Leo simply nodded, his gaze never leaving the mirror.
"It must be destroyed." stated Leo, "Without contact with this other world any attempts to cross over would be far to dangerous."
Realisation showed on Wyatt's face far to late as his father's words sank in. "No!" he yelled rushing forward.
Chris raised his hand and gestured at Wyatt, sending him flying back into the wall.
In both worlds Leo raised his hands and unleashed a stream of crackling and sparkling electricity straight at the mirror.
The force of the electricity lifted the mirror into the air and the reflection of the parallel world faded into darkness as the mirror became blackened.
With a final spark of electricity the mirror shattered.
The three men dove to the floor and covered their heads with their hands as shards of flying glass filled the room.
When the tinkling of glass hitting the floor had stopped, Chris cautiously raised his head. The scorched and blackened golden frame of the mirror was lying on the ground, the floor surrounding it covered with glittering shards of glass.
The window to the other world had been destroyed.
