Chapter 6: Awakening The dark Magic from within

Whats up guys im back with another chapter sorry it took so long I had to retake a class but without any further ado let's dive back in.

The next morning I slowly and groggily woke up while I was rubbing my eyes, I stretched out my arms and let out a big yawn, then I heard the sound of Yubel's voice.

"Rise and shine Zodie did you sleep well"? she asked me.

"Morning mom, yeah I did" I replied as I slid off her back.

When I got off I did some stretches then rested my head back onto a nearby boulder about to doze off. Of course my sluggish behavior had'nt gone unnoticed by Yubel.

" Zodie come now it's time for you to get up it's already morning" Yubel told me.

"Please mom five more minutes" I replied lazily. Yubel was about to protest but then she gained a smirk on her face.

"Alright then my son you can stay inside and sleep all you want but you would miss out on the chance of learning magic today for the first time" she said sounding very convincing.

…...3…...2….1 after hearing her words I suddenly jumped back up to my feet with sparkles in my eyes

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" I shouted at the top of my lungs with my voice echoing throughout the cave.

"So what am I going to learn first huh huh huh, am I going to learn to fly like you, shoot cool magic blast from my hands, or am I" mpphhhhhhh as Yubel cut me off with her wing over my mouth.

She laughed " Zodie slow down you can't just learn magic right off the bat first of all we need to unlock the magic origin inside of your body".

"Magic origin"? I asked.

"Yes you see magic users have containers in their bodies that hold magic inside of their body called ethernano, ethernano it dwells in the atmosphere and in all living things, we just have to unlock yours" She explained.

"How do we do that"? I asked

"I'll tell you later but first it's time for breakfast come along now honey" Yubel replied

Grrrrrrrrrrr my stomach went, I held my hand over my stomach "Umm okay I am pretty hungry".

"Well then climb on my back and off we go then" Yubel told me.

I did so and we made our way out of the cave.

Yubel and I were flying around the landscape till we came across a herd of wild hodra's, like a falcon going after it's prey Yubel descended towards the herd, causing a scare in the hodras sending them off into a run of panic.

I drew my dagger ready to attack, I then leaped off her back landing onto the back of a hodra. It kicked and screamed trying to shake me off it's back but I held on tight.

I covered the hodras eyes which caused the hodra to go crazy and start charging blindly towards a large rock knocking it unconciss.

SLAM

I landed back onto my feet and turned around to see the unconciss hodra feeling satisfied about myself, I looked up to my right and I see the hodra that Yubel caught. We smiled at one another then I walked towards the hodra I captured dagger drawn ready for the kill.

We were back in our cave feasting on fresh hodra meat, I was eating rather quickly because one I was hungry and I was excited about doing magic. Though this did'nt go unnoticed by Yubel.

"Zodie slow down your going to choke if you eat that fast" she told me.

"Sorry mom i'm just so excited I really want to learn magic right now" I said voice filled with excitement.

"I understand but you wont learn magic power if you kill yourself over choking on your food, one of the many virtues of learning and gaianing magic is to have paitence." Yubel told me

" Alright I understand mom" I said with my mouth filled with meat.

We went back to eating breakfast and cleaned up the cave then Yubel aproched me.

"Alright then Zodie are you ready"? She asked me

"Yes im ready lay it on me mom" I answered excitedely.

Yubel smiled at me "good but in order for us to do this there is a special place that we must go first"

"What place mom is it far"? I asked

"Climb onto my back and you'll see when we get there" she answered.

I shrugged my shoulder's and climbed onto her back, she then ascended through the skyline of the cave and took off flying into the sky. Yubel flew pretty fast and after a few minutes of flying I suddenly fell asleep.

After what felt like forever I finally woke up, I took a look around to see we were still flying

"Hey mom where exactly are we going"?

"Ah Zodie your awake where almost there" she told me.

After about nine minutes Yubel flew us towards an eerie dark forest, it looked kind of creepy like something you would read out of a horror story. Yubel finally landed in an open area and I got off her back she then leads me further into the forest and I begin to get a little nervous. I start to hear all sorts of sounds coming from all kinds of directions, the trees were dead and looked like they had faces on them. The deeper we walked the darker the environment was getting. My thoughts were then cut when Yubel spoke up.

"Alright were here" she said.

I looked around and we were now in an open forest area with a large tree that has a hollow in it. After a few minutes I decided to speak up.

"Mom what is this dark place"?

"This forest that has an atmosphere filled with ethernano, that tree hollow inside contains a good plentiful amount of it. Also this is a paticular place where people with dark magic come to unlock their magic, though it isn't easy to find this place, luckily for you I was here to help with that. Also I myself came here many years ago to unlock my power."

"That's so cool" I said full of amazement.

"Indeed and now it is your turn my son"

"So how does this work"? I asked

"Don't worry I'll explain soon for now just walk inside of the hollow and wait for me" Yubel told me.

I walked toward the tree and crawled inside of the hollow and I waited for Yubel's further instructions,

"Zodie are you alright in their"? Yubel asked me.

"Yep" I answered.

"Okay good now I want you to relax and close your eyes" she instructed me.

I was feeling a little nervous because it was really dark inside of the tree and I could'nt see anything. But I pushed this all aside and tried my best to relax. As I was sitting relaxing I could hear the sound of yubel spreading her wings.

I suddenly felt a warm sensational feeling all over my body I suddenly opened my eyes and found myself standing in black water in an empty dark void.

Looking around frantically I was freaking out searching for Yubel, suddenly I noticed a dark purple light glowing inside of my body. I was a little scared at first but then I was rather amazed when suddenly the purple light started surrounding my entire body, I could feel my body rising high off the ground until I was about two-hundred feet in the air.

When the light from my body died down I suddenly started falling, I was frantically waving my arms in the air while my heart was racing. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I was sure I was going to die. After about fifteen minutes of falling I saw I was getting close to the ground I knew I could'nt do anything so I shut my eyes hoping to impact the ground.

"Zodie….. Zodie my son wake up"

I opened my eyes and I saw Yubel standing over me, I sat up and looked around and I saw that I was back in the real world right back where I started.

"Well done my son your all finished you can now use magic" she told me.

"Really so I can use magic now"? I asked excitedly

"Not exactly remember I told you that we came out here so you can awaken your magic power, you'll need proper training before you can utilize phoenix slayer magic." She explained

"Oh okay then" I said

"But first I can teach you the basics of this magic climb onto my back" Yubel told me.

"Alright" I said

I climbed onto her back and Yubel flew us 50 feet into the air, I started wondering what Yubel was going to teach me.

"Now Zodie look down and tell me what can you see beyond the tree's"? Yubel asked me.

I looked down like Yubel told me to but I could'nt see what Yubel wanted me to see.

"Uhh mom I can't see anything but the tree's" I told her

"Your seeing with your human eyes look further with your phoenix eyes concentrate, I know you can do it".

I was really confused now but I sucked it up and did what Yubel told me. I concentrated and after a few seconds my eyes glowed yellow and my eyesight zoomed into the forest. This was incredible I could see things I could'nt see before the animals roaming in the forest, from the smallest mice to a pack of foxes.

"Mom I can see so much further now, the bugs the animals this is amazing" I said happily.

"Very good being a phoenix slayer means that now you've gained the abilities of one, and one of those abilities is having keenist sight, others include flying." She told me

"Really?"

"Yes though you will need training to do that but im confident you can achieve anything" Yubel told me

"Okay since you have faith in me let's get started then I can't wait"

"Don't worry my son we will but let's do all that tomorrow"

She then flapped her wings and turned into the direction of our home and took off flying, when we arrived we both ate fish we caught on our way home. After a couple of hours of playing and story telling it was time for bed. I could hardly sleep I was so excited after today and tommorow I would be learning magic. After so much thinking I finally fell asleep.

Alright done. Zodie now has his power unlocked and is going to learn more.

So yeah sorry this took long I had to retake a summer class that was six weeks but now im finally done with that. So know I can focus on this,

I plan on getting about three more chapters out hopefully before school, so please send me reveiw's and ideas they'll be helpful. Until next time see yah!
