Chapter Five
"The... Raijinshuu?" I said after a few moments.
"Um... Wendy, why didn't you say it was them?"
"Well, I did say the scents were familiar when I caught them yesterday, but I guess now knowing the difference between mage scents and regular people's made me a little confused about theirs." Wendy explained slowly. It was as if we were thawing out from the shock of seeing eachother.
"Cosplayer, what are you doing here?" Oh, how I hated that nickname, but no matter how many times I tell him not to call me that, he just says it twice as much. Doesn't stop me from trying, though.
"Bixlow, don't call me that. I am not a cosplayer, neither are my spirits. And we were here to catch a rogue mage. What about you guys?"
"We have to find the reason this place affects mages and destroy it." Freid answered, sounding calm and selective to what he says, as always.
"Ya, so if you'd leave, that'd be great." Is Laxus seriously that much of a jerk. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Ya, you can wait."
"And if I don't want to?"
"Then too bad. Our job is a mage that's already dealt with, your job is something that the people of this city have survived with for hundreds of years, it can wait five minutes!" My voice was stern and clear, but not a yell. Just loud enough for him to know that I am not being swayed in this argument, if you could call it that.
"Dealt with, huh? Then, where is he?"
"What do you mean? He's right on the ground over..." He's gone. I ran over to where I know I threw him. Where I know he landed. All I saw was a bit of blood in the in the magic circle a few feet away. "That can't be good." I whispered.
As if cued by my words the circle began to glow brighter than before. I saw four other lights a short distance from us, beyond ruins of old houses. "Damn, this really can't be good." The circle began to glow brighter until I was completely blinded by them. I could hear Wendy calling my name and what sounded like... banging on glass. The circles must have connected and made a barrier between me and the others. I felt immense pain begin in my fingertips and the soles of my feet, I forced my eyes open to see what I think was my skin being burned and peeled away. The pain became too much and I passed out.
So, um, ya. Chapter five, yay. Sorry to do this to you all, but I have recently gotten a job, or two, so it keeps me really busy. Don't worry, I am NOT cancelling this fic. BUT updates will be slowed, possibly right down to once every two months, I will try my hardest to update more than that, but, seriously, I've barely written anything the past couple weeks.
Anyways, please keep following, send reviews, they will inspire me.
