Dangerous and Magical

Chapter 4: A Sudden Attack

After leaving everyone shocked at the Training Grounds, an angry White Magician walked down the dark, crowded street, slamming her staff on the pavement as she leaned on it for support, releasing anger ever so often. She felt the Dark magician was very rude to all the monsters he fought, even Catalina, and didn't show them any respect. She just could not take it anymore; she had to put that Mace in his place. (A/N: Hey, a rhyme that did not mean to happen.)

After a few blocks, Krystals' once light blue tears of hate and anger for the Dark Magician had turned to sorrow, and she was beginning to regret what she had said to Mace. No one ever knew this except for Catalina and Necrophia, who forced it out, but both of them promised not to tell anyone. Krystal had developed feelings for the violet-eyed magician. She had tried several times to deny these feelings and tell herself that Mace would never feel the same way. However, each time Krystal saw Mace battle, his style and determination, all her attempts to deny this attraction soon proved utterly useless.

Not wanting any spectators in the streets to see her cry and get the wrong idea of her, Krystal turned a corner off the busy street and entered into an even darker alley. She leaned back against the brick wall. Dropping her staff to the ground, Krystal slid down the wall, and pulled her knees to her chest and started to cry harder, telling herself that she never should have come; she should have stayed in the isolated Valley.

There stood the White Magician, in the center of a huge void of darkness. Suddenly, a bright light shown a few feet away from the magician. It soon faded slightly to reveal the elderly White Sage. Krystal beamed with happiness of seeing her mistress; she ran over and embraced the Sage, falling to her knees in the process, and the White Sage hugged her back. Mistress Sage then noticed something and pushed back slightly, still holding her warrior.

"My child! Why are you crying?" She whispered gently.

"Oh Mistress, I can't stay there a moment longer. I ask...no beg of you, please allow me to return home. I don't belong here!" cried Krystal.

"Oh, my dear White magician, is there something wrong? What are you afraid of?"

"I am afraid. I can't bear to face HIM again. I am afraid of what he will do!" whimpered Krystal burying her face in elderly woman's white robes.

"You are speaking of the Dark Magician, are you not?" said the mistress knowingly.

"How did you...?!" asked a shocked white magician, as she shot her head up staring at her Mistress with shocked, curious sapphire eyes.

Her mistress chuckled, "It is easy to see when one of my own warriors is in love."

"What?!"

"Do not deny it. Remember that love is a very powerful weapon. When used correctly. It can be used to comfort and hold, or it is used to break someone either physically or emotionally. But before the effects can even happen, it must be brought out through the heart."

With that, she left, leaving Krystal alone with her thoughts.

Krystal lifted her head up from her lap. Her dream with her mistress, she knew the Sage was trying to advise her. She had always given advice to her warriors in some ways. Krystal understood now. With a positive gleam in her crystal blue eyes, the White Magician picked up her staff from the ground and using that as support again. She stood up and started to walk back out into the streets, with the hope of finding a certain violet-eyed dark magician and hopefully to ask for forgiveness.

The White Magician was just at the entrance of the alley when suddenly she felt a familiar presence in the void of the shadows. As she went further into the darkness, the more nervous Krystal began to feel and the more right it felt to turn back, but something was pulling her deeper into the darkness.

Suddenly, a shrill yet deep voice came from out of the darkness behind her.

"Long time no see, huh, my dear Krystal." It said plainly.

Realizing who it was, the White magician glared at the voice, whirled around and jumped up, and kicked at the darkness from where the voice had come from. Her aim was perfect, but the dark figure saw this, and using size as an advantage, the figure grabbed the White Magician by her shoulders and slammed her back against the brick wall. Krystal winced.

"What...do you what with me?" asked Krystal with a slight pain in her voice.

"Now, now, is that anyway to treat an old friend?" said the monster calmly with a slight laugh. He released his grip, letting her slide down, but recover quickly picked up her staff.

Glaring, the White Magician began to struggle, "There is no friendship between us. You abandoned our friendship when you betrayed the Valley to that Witch!"

"How dare you disrespect the Cosmo Queen, leader of the Fiends." Shouted the Skull Knight angrily; launching continuous attacks at the magician, but the White Magician countered perfectly with excellent defenses.

"I ask again, what do you want here, Skull Knight?" questioned the White Magician, barely dodging another attack.

"HAHA! You know I could destroy you right now! But unfortunately, my queen believe you would make a valuable part of her army, and sent me to fetch you." Skull knight laughed.

"Never!" shouted the White Magician, while secretly preparing another attack, "I will never fight for someone, who only wants destruction across the planet, and you will never defeat me!"

Skull Knight frowned and sighed, at the same time noticing a bright glow coming from Krystal's staff behind her back. "I am sorry you feel that way Krystal. I guess I will just have to prove the Cosmo Queen's power."

"We'll just see about that!" Growled the White Magician, standing up straight, pointing staff straight out at Skull Knight, launching a bright blue and white light from the gem on the end toward him.

However, just as she did, the Skull Knight pulled out a bright glowing green orb from a pouch at his waist, and threw it as hard as he could directly at the White Magician's attack.

The two attacks collided causing a great mass explosion, making both warriors yell out in pain as they were pushed hard against adjacent walls and collapse to the cold ground. As the light and smoke cleared, The Skull Knight, although still shaking unprepared for such a fight, stood up and stumbled his way slowly to the greatly weakened White Magician.

He stood over the young woman, kicked her staff, which had been knocked away from her during the attack, closer to her.

"Here this White Magician, the Cosmo Queen will come back for you, and you will bow before her. If you don't than you will watch in pain as your beloved home, along with all of your friends and family, be destroyed!"

He spoke quickly and then disappeared into the shadows of darkness. Krystal, in her weakened state, still heard this. She raised out her pale hand to reach for her white/gold staff just a few feet ahead of her, but the tremendous blast left the White Magician greatly wounded, and too exhausted to take another step. She let a few teardrops fall to the ground before closing her sad blue, sapphire eyes, letting her mind slip into unconsciousness, and letting darkness consume her body.

Yes! I'm done with chapter 5!
