Chapter 17

"as the foul beast struck I-" Knock, knock went raven door as she angrily went up to open it for the thousandth time today. As the door slid open Wize quickly backed away noticing the dark menacing aura around Raven." Umm…Hi?" Wize said catching his balance on the crutches he was using to keep the weight off injured leg." WHAT…DO…YOU…WANT..?" she said menacingly as her hair began to flow to and fro from the aura." Um its 2:00 Raven…my check up?" Wize said now wondering why he even bothered to let her play nurse instead of Cyborg. Oh yeah he hates needles.

"oh right…" Raven said with a sigh before turning to the room." Come on in, and get comfortable."

"Oh right. Comfortable." Wize said sarcastically as he sat gingerly on her before prompting his foot up on a small ottoman between her bed and her chairs. As she walked around preparing the incense smell he could see a large white book on a reading stand just across the room." Is that the one you took from my book shelf?" Wize said pointing at said book. Raven turned to look at the book then nodded her head." Yeah sorry for not asking, but it's a good book." Raven said taking a seat with a small box as the smell of incense began to fill the room." Yeah but I cant seem to remember what kind of book it was. It seems important but I cant remember."

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time." She said before looking up at his pants." Off." She said catching him off guard." Wait what?" Wize said surprise at her demand." Your pant leg is blocking you your spirit points, I need your pants off." Raven said before opening the box revealing small needles with a rounded end to them." Whoa! NO!" Wize said trying to get up before a black aura pushed him back to the bed and shredded his pants off." What the shit Raven!"

" relax." She said simply before tapping a needle into his lower thigh just below where the boxers end and the knee starts." OW! I should have just took the shot from cyborg." Wize grunted as she gently tapped another needle next to the other." Calm down. It'll hurt less as you relax." Raven said before tapping another needle just above the cast. Wize began to relax as the needles went through his skin, and oh how he hated needles." Was it necessary for you to destroy my sweat pants?" Wize asked noticing the scattered remains of his pants." Well that's what happens when you keep interrupting someone with a good book. First starfire, then robin, then Beastboy and cyborg, you just so happen to be the last straw."

"So the last straw gets his pants torn to shreds? Weird." Began wize as she placed the last needle in its place." So that good of a book huh?"

" Very good book. And one of the only ones I can read. What language are those books in anyway?" Raven asked passing her hands above the needles with a glowing black aura around it." It's the first language. The language that others are born from." Wize said as he began to feel the soothing warmth arise in his leg." The first Language? You can read it?"

"I can read and write in it but its forbidden by God to speak it, sense the fall of the tower of Babylon." Wize said as he laid back in Ravens bed." So you don't speak it, because you were told a god didn't want you to?" Raven asked skeptically as she continued the treatment." No, we literally cant speak it. If we even utter the words that person becomes mute for four years, sometimes they never recover their voice." That startled Raven as she could hardly believe what she was hearing." Why was "God" so angry at the Babylonians that he cursed them?"

"He wasn't angry. He did what he always does. Protect us from ourselves. The Babylonians were bordering on hubris with that tower. The tower was supposed to be a conduit for something that we are not ready to have." Wize said sitting up on the bed." Anyway that's a long story, how far am I along?" He said as she stood up and went for one of the incense sticks that were burning and lightly waved it over his casted foot." Were done for now. Your healing rather fast."

" must be my powers returning finally. I was getting tired of leaving you guys to do all the dirty work in the city." Wize said standing up on his crutches." Alright thanks for everything Raven." He said as he walked to the door before being stopped." Wait.." Raven said as she walked to her desk and grabbed a small pendent. A medallion shaped as a raven dangling on a leather string." I know you've been bummed sense you lost your powers and all, so I made you this." Raven said handing him the necklace. " oh…you shouldn't have…" Wize said holding the Raven in his hand." It'll sense if there is any magical danger around and wards you against it for a time." Raven said before walking him to the door." Oh well, thank you." Wize said as he walked out her door." Uh huh now leave me to the book." She said before shutting the door behind him leaving him stranded out of her room. Hw sighed as he looked down at the pendent before putting it around his neck to wear. He then smelled something rather fowl in the air. He turned to see where it was coming from to see Beastboy throw a green ball of laundry at him. Wize quickly ducked as the ball passed just over his head." Beastboy if that would have hit me…"

"You would what? Talk me to death as you waddle around with a broken leg?" Beastboy said as Wize tossed on of his crutches hitting beastboy dead on in the face." Why do you gotta pick on the cripple?" Cyborg smirked as he passed out into view from the corner." I have one more with your name on it Cyborg." Suddenly the tower alarm went off." Have fun…" Wize said as he hopped into his room. As the Alarm subsided Wize sat down at his work desk examining the Raven amulet on the necklace. As he passed his thumb over the symbol it began to shake and the eyes of the Raven glowed green." Computer…scan tower for intruders…" Wize said immediately tucking the necklace back into his shirt." Processing….No intruders detected." The computer concluded before its voice disappeared from the intercom." Damn thing must be broken then…ol well." Wize said grabbing a book from his book case and began fiddling with shards of metal on his work desk to pass the time. The hours flew by fast before the Titans returned to the tower covered with some sort of black tar. Wize walked out of his room to see the group rushing to the showers in a hurry fighting to gain entrance, all except Raven that is who was hurrying to her room." Hey Raven I wanted to-"

"Not now Wize." She replied sliding open her door, and shutting it behind her, leaving Wize alone again in the hallway. Wize sighed before he began to make his way back again towards his room before his necklace began to shake violently this time." Again?" he questioned as he turned his body to Ravens room causing the amulet to shake even more furiously before stopping." Weird…" Wize said as he began to hop back to his room curiously. He then went back to his book case and grabbed a roster of the books to see which one Raven took." Couldn't make a shorter list could you dad…" Wize sighed as he began to checklist the thousand sum titles of books that where listed on the charter." Doesn't mean you don't have to be normal!" Wize heard outside his door. ' Sounded like Beastboy.' He thought before limping towards the door to see Beastboy with an annoyed look outside Ravens door with Cyborg trying to convince him to go back to their game of Stank ball." What the hells going on out here?" Wize said alittle indignantly noticing Beastboys demeanor towards his team mate." Nothing." He said passing Wize by." Raven just being a recluse is all." With that Beastboy was pinned to the wall with the rubber end of Wizes Crutch." And whats that to you? Maybe if you stop being such an ass she might open up more. Besides remember what happen the other day?"

at this point Beastboy remembers the prank he pulled hoping to gain a few laughs that unfortunately backfired and somehow Raven hair was pink for 8 hours. It took the Cyborg and Wizes full strength to keep her from sending Beastboy to an alternate dimension." Oh right…that is my bad." Beastboy said with a frown of defeat." Damn right it is." Wize said placing his crutch back down to the ground." In times like these, she needs alittle bit of empathy and compassion not your Random fits of-" BAM! The wall sounded behind them on Ravens door. As they began to wonder what had happen the necklace around Wizes neck began to tremble." This again?" he said as he tapped it a few times before knocking on Ravens door." Hey Raven you good in there?" Silence was all Wize heard. He went for a few more knocks before the door slid partially opening revealing Ravens usual brooding expression." Um, everything ok?"

"Yeah.. I just dropped something."

"Against your door?"

"Yup" And with that Raven shut her door leaving the three boys in wondering. She turned again to the book that was on the floor, wondering if what she heard was just her imagination." Ow…that hurt." A voice sounded from the book." Um…sorry about that." Raven said picking the book back up from the floor." Oh no its quite alright really, I would do the same a tome suddenly tried to have a conversation with me." The book dismissed the past reaction she laid it on the bed." Um…what are you?" Raven questioned as she sat down on her bed while the book suddenly opened on its own to a torn picture of the wizard hero she was reading about." I my dear, am Malchior of Nol!" The book said with dignity." And I have been waiting for someone like you come along Raven…" as the night progressed the two began to shair their stories. Malchior of course told Raven about how he was damned to be sealed in the book along with his nemesis the foul Dragon Rorek. Then Raven began to tell him about her team mates in which they share a few good laughs." And this Beastboy sounds like a real genius!" the book retorted sarcastically earning him a laugh from Raven." But tell me about this Wize fellow. Whats his story?"

"Wize is our newest member, he joined sometime last year." Raven began as she tried to remember all the details her and Wize shared." He at first couldn't even remember who he was, but then he began to remember when we faced this demon we call nightmare. I think he calls him Azazyel." Raven said earning a shock gasp from the book." He is a very powerful and foul demon…im surprised you got out with your lives..how did you manage that?" the book asked inquisitively." Well Wize regained some control of his power after he remembered who he was, and he used this power called 'Seth' to save us and the city from him."

"Seth? Would your friends sir name happen to be Drake?" The book asked worry beginning to form in its voice." Yeah? Although he uses the name Black instead." Raven said arching her eyebrows in confusion." Figures, a son of Seth ashamed of his wicked heritage. Never thought I would see the day." The book said with venom." Umm, excuse me?"
"Oh forgive me my dear. I asure you my hatred is with reason. The sons of Seth are nothing but a bunch of witch hunted, prejudice lot of monster bigots." Malchior said with even mor venom." What do you mean?" Raven asked, surprised at the comments being made towards her friends family name." the witch hunts, the massacres through out the ages of magic users of all nations and creeds, all that blood is on that families name! I thought they got what they deserved when the Templars were executed on the popes orders but it seems the family lives on."

"Times have changed. Besides Wize is nothing like that, despite the fact that he's a smartass he's none of those things you say he is." Raven said in defense of he friend holding the book firmly in her lap." Trust me Raven, theirs no denying that hatred in his blood. In time you will see…"

(In wizes room)

"AAAACHOOO!" Wize sneezed loudly sniffling as he looked over the list of books trying to figure out which book Raven took from the library." Damn this is taking forever…" wize said as he stood from his desk and jumps face down on top of his bed, burying his face in the pillow." Er… ill continues in the morning." He moaned painfully as he drifted to sleep. The next day was a irritating one, from not reaching the endless list of books his father collected, from the necklace Raven gave his continues vibrations against his chest. Good news though his leg didn't feel as painful when he walked on it. Ravens treatment must be working, as he continued on he began to feel his energy return to him, he did a few sets of push-ups and sit ups from to relieve some energy he was feeling. He would run but due to his leg injury, he thought that both Cyborg and Raven would frown upon that, so instead of running he decided to head to the kitchen for sandwich. as he rushed into the kitchen he noticed Raven rushing past him with the a tea kettle full of the good stuff." Hey Raven about that necklace-"

"No time to talk, busy now." Raven said quickly as she disappeared back into her room. Wize couldn't help but feel that everyone seems to be avoiding him like a plague lately, he would feel kind of dpressed about it if it wasn't for the fact that a sandwich was calling for him, so just like most dimwitted hero's with a serious case of the fuckits he quickly got over it and made himself a sandwich for the ages. Unfortunately with no pudding cup. He was gonna kill Beastboy later for that but now his work called for him. Throughout the next few days the same thing happen. Wize got energetic after work so he begins to crave some boredom food, and each time he passed Raven by who seemed to ignore him completely as she disappeared into until one faithful day while Wize was passing by her door finishing up his honey roasted peanut butter sandwich he saw a bright green glow under Ravens door. The necklace then began to shake violently and glow brightly." What the…" Wize went for a knock but then stopped himself, something told his to just open the door, which he did to his surprise the door wasn't locked but what he saw shocked him. Raven forming a bright green raven with her powers with a man gently caressing her hair as they both enjoyed the view." WHAT….THE…FUCK…" was all Wize could muster as the two turn to him in surprise as he closed the door behind himself." Damn it Darren cant you knock!" Raven said angrily as she approached him." Yeah I could but then you would brush me off in order to hide.." Wize pointed at a man made of paper." That!" he finished he approached the Malchior." Raven what the hell is this…" as he approached the necklas shook even more violently almost hurting Wizes chest." This is Malchior…and I happen to be in the middle of helping him." Raven said trying to black Wize from getting any closer." Helping how?" Wize crossed his arms skeptically staring down the man." See Raven, just like Drake to question ones good intentions." Machior said standing his ground as he too crossed his arms staring wize dead in his eyes." How do you know that name, ghoul." Wize said in a defensive manner." I know what you are child, I know what your kind has done through the ages all in the name of your supposed God." With this Wize remained silent to hear more, deep down inside he knew the ghost infront of him was bad news, yet he felt the need to know what this ghost knew." Oh silence I see, then you don't deny it. Your families genocidal tendency, and your hatred for all things magic. Its only fitting that you all got wiped-" Malchior could not finish as wizes fist clashed with his paper frame head making the sheets of peper scatter around the magic circle he was in." you know nothing of our cause, our reasons, and sure as hell no nothing of our struggles and conviction." Wize said gritting his teeth as malchior reformed his face." See…" He turned his head to Raven who looked on in disgust of the situation." Look into his eyes and you tell me he is not like the rest of his family." Raven then looked at Wize with a stern look." Darren this is none of your business." She said simply stepping in between him and malchior." Really? Because from what I can tell he came from a book I loaned you."

" Wize listen, he needs my help im the only one who can release him." Raven said trying to reason with him." Oh and how did he get stuck in there in the first place?" wize asked skeptical of the mans true intent." His story is that he fought the great Dragon Rorek and-"

"Rorek? I remember now..but I thought the wizards name was Rorek.." Wize looked at the man again with a confused look." Raven I don't think this is a good idea…" Wize said softly as to try not to sound irritated as he was beginning to feel." Wize I know what im doing."

"Really then you already know that the wizard sealed the dragon in there also? What if you release the dragon by mistake?" with that Raven was insulted at the assumption." Ive been practicing the arts sense I was first able to speak, and you stand there telling me what I can and can not do with my powers?!" Raven said with hostility raising herself up to his level." NO! what im saying is that by its very nature Magic is volatile and its dangerous, especially what this guy who claims hes a master wizard is teaching you."

"I know how to control my powers!" Raven yelled and a few glass candles shattered in the room." Yeah that's definitely looks like control!" Wize said sarcastically causing a mirror on the other side of the room to shatter spraying bits of glass all over the place." SHUT UP!" Raven yelled again the room starting to shake." Rachelle enough! Your powers are out of control and you know its dangerous!" Wize said bracing to the wall as the room shook." Ah you see he even fears you. He will never understand!" Malchior antagonized the whole situation. With that Raven calmed herself yet the room grew darker." Get out…" Raven said turning away from Wize." Really after all we have been through…fine have it your way, but don't say I didn't warn you…" Wize said limping to the door, before briefly looking back at the two staring at him with indifference. As Wize left the room Raven sighed bitterly, she normally didn't loose her temper but for some reason she couldn't help feeling irritated, and now slightly remorseful. Sense Wize lost his abilities from his fight, she could sometimes feel how he felt, though he did a fair job at hiding it from her she could on some occasions feel as he feels, he did feel anger in him or indifference but rather he felt worry, and sorrow, she could even still feel it as he left the room." Come now Raven. No need to dwell on it, lets continue our lesson…."

A few weeks past sense the incident and in that time both Raven and Wize rarely left their rooms, as Raven continued her studies with Malchior and Wize continued investigating why the book was missing from his fathers list. One day Wize decided to take a breather and walked into the kitchen for some lunch when he notice Raven speaking with the group dressed in a pure white garment." So how long till we finally meet this Malchior?" StarFire asked enthusiastically." Soon very soon, but Starfire how could you know about him?" with that question everyone turned to Beastboy who smiled sheepishly." Um I may have been a bug on your wall…" Beastboy said before transforming into a fly." That's funny." Smiled Raven as she stared at Beastboy." Cause you look like a rat to me." Raven said as she squinted her eyes, and for some reason the necklace over Wize's neck vibrated violently and a shiver rose over his spine as Beastboy was morphed into a rat then back into his human form." Yo-you morphed me! How did you-?" Beastboy asked but Raven attention was drawn to Wize who was staring at her with wide eyes, she could feel his fear building up." Raven you didn't…." he whispered, causing Raven to have a flash back to the conversation she had with Malchior.' He will never understand the poor fool. It is in his blood to fear and hate magic and its users, they will always have their cold glare…' she remembered him saying and now before her was Wize with a cold fearful glare. Before she could say anything the tower alarm went off. As the team left Wize stared on at the exit of the tower as Raven left last." No…no no nonononono NO!" Wize said bitterly as he rushed back into the hallway." She wouldn't turn to it knowingly there must be a mistake!" Wize said before reaching Ravens door and attempted to open it to no avail." Malchior let me in!" Wize bashed the door with his fist receiving to response." Just who the hell are you…" Wize said gritting his teeth punching the door one last time before heading into his own room." There must be answers!" he said flipping through the piles of paper scattered about the room. When he couldn't find anything he punched the side of the book case next to his desk in frustration." DAMN IT!" he said falling to his back to the floor. Suddenly a book fell next to him from his bookcase. He looked at the book it had no title but the leather wasn't worn and it felt fairly new." What the…" he said before opening it to see its author.' Edgar' it said plain as day on the first page." Dad?" he flipped through the pages and read through the day.

(In the city)

"RAVEN STOP!" Robin pleaded as he saw a giant heart with a child still inside being crushed by Ravens black aura which proceeded forth from her eyes and mouth." I CANT!" Raven said in pain as she felt the power coursing through her veins. Luckily Starfire and Cyborg was there to pry the child free from the heart before it was crushed to pieces by the aura. Raven then fell to the ground very shocked and very confused at the whole thing. As Robin reached out for her she disappeared in a dark vortex of her making." It cant be! He wouldn't!" Raven said as she felt shivers and goose bumps on her skin." Dark magic…" she whispered as she reappeared in the tower. She rushed into her room to see Malchior standing in the middle of the magic circle she formed." DARK MAGIC." Raven said with fury as she got in his face." You have been teaching me DARK MAGIC!"

"Yes I have, why are you so surprised?" Malchior said tilting his head." Why didn't you tell me!? Dark Magic is dangerous do you have any idea what could have happen if I lost complete control over it?!" Raven pushing Malchior away." Now you sound like that fool of Drake."

"Don't compare me to him and maybe he was right!" she said gritting her teeth not wanting to look him in the eyes." Raven.." he said softly placing his hands gently over her shoulders." The sort of magic I have been teaching you is a great and powerful magic. So powerful that most fear it and then label it as Dark Magic, but you and I are better than that." His soft words got to her as she stared up at her." You have grown greatly in the arts…now it is time."

"Are you sure?" Raven said timidly." Yes you are ready…lets begin the ritual." Malchior said sternly. Wize in the mean time was shocked by the information he was receiving from the book his father wrote." No…" he then suddenly felt his necklets vibrate and glow brightly." Oh no…" He said seeing a bright light under the cracks of his door, and the sky began to darken with a storm. He quickly grabbed his crutches and moved out his door and saw the source of the light coming from Ravens room." Raven!" He called out as he bang on the door, to get her attention." Raven DON'T!" He yelled as he backed away for a moment then tackled the door through causing a sharp bit of pain to rush through his leg. He had rebroken it in his struggle but as he looked up he saw the light growing brightly in the room with Raven backing away from the magic circle." What have I done…" she said regrettably as the light intensified." RAVEN!" Wize called out as he ignored his pain and dashed to her before grabbing her into his arms and turning her away from the wall as an explosion consumed the room. Luckily the necklace ward kicked in and protected the two with a barrier that proceeded from the medallion." Raven are you ok?" he let loose of her. She stared up at him lamentingly." You were right…I was such a fool…"

"Raven get a hold of yourself! This isn't the time!" Wize said shaking her lightly to dispel her shock then they both look up to see a black dragon flying over them in the sky." Ah crap…" Wize said as he saw the dragons mouth fill up with fire." AH CRAP!" Wize yelled as fire flowed around them with the ward still protecting them, but they saw that the ward was beginning to crack under the pressure. Wize panicked as he searched from ways out only to see the door way being the only option, but with his leg damaged he cant move quick enough. He did the only senseful thing in his mind. He pushed Raven out the doorway." DARREN!" she called out only seeing his smiling face as the ward cracked and fire consumed him. She could feel his pain, his remorse as he burned." Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters. Im sorry…Lilith im going to you now.." he said as he collapsed from the pain of his skin burning, he couldn't breath he couldn't move, as his vision faded to darkness." Raven! What happen!" Rabin and the teamed who just arrived to the scene of the Dragon. As they looked on they saw a scorched body in her room." Is that…" Cyborg question with grief stricken eyes. Raven couldn't look or even react to their questions. With determination and anger Robin stepped forward gritting his teeth." Titans…TAKE HIM DOWN!" and with that they all but Raven charged at the Dragon to meet it in combat. She looked down at Wize's motionless body scorched black." Im so sorry…" Raven whispered as the hallway grew darker. Her emotions taking control, her grief overcoming her." No…" she said as the darkness dissipated." I wont let him get away with this." Her eyes glowed bright as she flew up into the sky to assist her friends. Meanwhile the body of Wize began to twitch as bright cracks began to form on his fingers. The team fought bravely against the Dragon, Cyborg using every bit of tech he had in his arsenal to no avail. Star Fire trying to subdue it with her Starbolts and her inhuman strength. Beast even took on the form of a T-rex to meet the dragon on the same scale but was subdued himself, even Robin with all his dexterity and strategy couldn't best the foul beast, but then lightning struck the Dragon. As the beast turned to the source he saw Raven in the air preparing another incantation. Another bolt of lightning struck the dragon to the ground as Raven guided it to its target. The Dragon in rage shot fire at her from its mouth yet she protected herself with her black aura. Still giving time for the dragon to fly up and chase her around the sky till they reach the top of the tower where Raven using her aura collides large pieces of ruble against the head of the Dragon causing it to stumble and shriek in pain, but its rage knew no bounds as it swiped her to the edge of the tower where it hovered its head over her ready to ignite her. Suddenly out the corned of the dragon's eye it saw a bright light of colors of fire, before it was knocked off the roof and onto the ground below. Raven looked down to see what collided against the dragon she saw a scorched man heal instantaneously with a cast over his leg." It cant be…" the Dragon hissed as the cast shattered to pieces and the dust from it surround the mans body donning him in his outfit." WIZE!" Raven called out in surprise as wize eyes glowed brightly with fire." You know…" Wize cracked his knuckles." Lighting me on fire kinda hurt…" Wize said tightening his right fist." Let me return the favor!" he collided his fist against the dragon causing the ground around them to explode into flames and light, and with the screams of the dragon. Suddenly the dragon took flight knocking Wize off its chest." Hey! Come back and take your beating like a bitch!" Wize declared with a grin before his body was surrounded by a golden light and he to took flight after the dragon." WHOOOOAAAAA!" Wize scream excitingly as he shot bolts of light at the dragon who also returned fire." Raven! Don't just stand there! Get the book!" Wize called out as he brandished his sword and stabbed into the dragons tail and tried to drag it to the ground. Raven then remembered the story of the wizard, and even the incantation he used to seal the dragon. She then flew into the shattered room to see the book still intact around the burning ruble." Thank goodness." Raven mumbled as she telepathically obtained the book as to not touch the flames." Distract him while I recite the rite!" Raven yelled from the roof top to Wize." Not a Problem!" he said stabbing the sword down to the ground nailing the dragons tail in place." Just you and me now Malchior…"

"Curse you and your blood! You know nothing of true power!" The dragon cursed as it swiped at Wize only for him to dodge it and punch the dragon across its head smacking it against a near by boulder." Yatayatayata! Are you done talking or are we gonna FIGHT!" Wize said lifting a large rock over his head and tossing at the dragon, but the dragon then cought it and lite it on fire and tossed it back in Wizes direction, fortunately he moved in time to escape the rock but it then burst into firery embers with set ablaze the area around them. Wize and the Dragon faced off around the circle of fire. Wizes hands glew brightly with blue light before shooting a stream of electricity at the dragon which caused it much pain, but no dice on subduing it." Your movements, your tenacity is familiar!" The Dragon sneered at wize." That's right you know my bloodline, Rorek Drake was my ancestor also known as Rorek of Aldrinon!" Wize exclaimed forming a ball of golden light and he shot it at the dragon which did explode in contact making the dragon stumble." Curse you by your ancestors Drake!" The dragon said before engulfing Wize with flames. Wize protected himself with a bubble of golden light as he looked up at the roof." Raven you done yet!" he called while dodging a claw swipe." Almost you gotta keep him down!" Raven yelled as she chanted in her head while the book floated in front of her." NOT A PROBLEM!" Cyborg said appearing out of what seemed to be nowhere grabbing the dragon down in a headlock." BOYEAH!" he exclaimed as starfire flew down grabbing hold of one of its arms." YOU ARE NOT NICE!" she said in anger as her eyes glowed green. Beastboy then jumped onto its back in the form of a elephant to weigh the dragon down." Insignificant insects!" the dragon roared as it began to flap is wings only for Robin to strike them with explosive disks." Keep him down team!" Robin said as Wize grabbed hold of its other hand to hold it down." Its time!" Raven said with her eyes glowing brightly. The book faced down at the dragon as it glowed black with her aura." Aldrinon, espianage'…" she begaing holding her fingers in a seal two finger fashion." NO!" the dragon exclaimed as it released its tail loose from the sword then swiped at the team, but as the tail swiped at wize he grabbed hold of it and held him down as the dragon tried to fly away. Cyoborg then grabbed hold of the tail along side wize, then beastboy fallowed in the shape of a big foot, then Robin and Starfire assisted as the dragon flapped its wings with all its might." Eratery, SNORE!" Raven said as the book shot a black beam at the dragon which then dragged it back into its book. The book then fell to the ground before Raven. She looked down to see Wize waving at her to come down. As she did she was greeted by her smiling team." Whoa! I knew you had it in you." Wize said pulling down his mask." Annnnnd I got my powers back! Sounds like a win win to me." Wize then got annoyed looks shot at him." Are you crazy! You almost freaking died!" Beastboy said. The group then stared at wize with his blank expression which then turned to a grin." I got better…" which then made the mijority of the group face palm as they walked back into the tower to put the fires out. Later that evening Wize walked out of his room with a box, he then turned down the hall to a room next to cyborgs and gave the door a few taps with hid foot. The door open as raven stood there back in her usual outfit minus her cloak." Hey Rachelle, this a bad time?"

"Its always a bad time, yet your still gonna bother me. What do you want?" she said with a frown as he walked into the room." Well I wanted to help you rebuild sense most of your things went up in flames. Sooo I got you some new things you might find nice." Wize said as he laid the box on the floor and began to open it." Oh how kind." Raven said sarcastically as she looked down at the bright cracks over his neck with what look like a burn mark still healing, then she remember how he felt before she thought he died." Does it hurt…" she inquired as he looked up at her then placed his hand over his neck." Sometimes." He answered simply as the box was finally opened." Wala!" he said showing her its contents. A good few books to replace the ones she lost, a few astrological models and a crystal orb, with a new incense burner along with a small chest." Some goods to replace some of your old ones, and some new stuff. He handed her a few books." Oh…copies of some of my old tomes…and some new ones."

"yes well while I was investigating your "friend" I came across some old and "safe" tomes that I usurer you doesn't have any handsome master wizards to steal your heart." Wize said jokingly yet it still stung abit at Ravens heart not that she lied to, but for the fact of how she treated her friend because of him and how he manipulated her so well." Too soon?"

"Just abit." She said giving him a tap to the back of his head with one of the books." Ow hey watch it that's a sensitive one." He said snatching the book." My dad wrote this…its our genealogy. This is how I knew that dragon was lieing to you." He opening and flipped to a few pages and pulled up a familiar picture." That's…"

"Yeah that's right. Rorek of Aldrinon vanquisher of the dragon sorcerer Malchior of nol." Wize finished as he handed her the book." So you have magic in your blood?"

"Yes and no. its says Rorek was a seth user who married a priestess of the order he and Malchior were a part of. Rorek wanted to teach the people about the power that seth could offer about feeding and healing the poor of heart, and to protect those who were being falsely accused of being witches." Wize said taking out a few more things from the box." Wow…" she said as she read through the pages, and how he was killed harboring Protestants and smuggling them into safe territory. He was executed by Spanish royalty command. She then turned the page to see the order of the nights Templar, who protected both the jewish and Christian inhabitants from harm. They grew rich and influential in their order for their good deeds, the pope feared this and had them executed." He lied about you guys…" Raven said as she closed the book." Actually no he didn't. we did hunt witches and sorceres alike. But because they were associating with demons and sacrificing innocents to them…" With that Raven knelt down next to him and pulled out the chest from the box." Im not good with the apologizing thing soooo…."

"No need. I know im an asshole sometimes." Wize said with a smile as he tapped on the chest." Arnt you gonna open it?" As he said that she opened it to reveal a golden ring around her size that seem to glimmer with any bit of light that touches it." Sense you made me a necklace I made you a ring sense you seem to fancy them a lot." He said pointed at the two rings on each of her hands." Wow this is…nice. Thank you." She said in her usual mellow tone but infact she was grateful." Well it's a ring that will help whenever you find yourself in a bind with your powers, it'll also allow me to find you when needed." Wize said which then caused her to frown." Oh so a ring that tells you exactly where im at…."

"Kinda creepy?"

"Just abit."
