"And now, for our last product" Said Odalia cheerfully "I hope you came prepared, because this will be an auction for a one time product, The Abomafort!"
It was a Blight industries sale, and on stage was Odalia Blight, showing Blight industries' new product
It was a purple abomination that was very large, and was very...clay like.
"Here at Bligh industries, we mostly provide for home security, but this time, we're providing a walking fortress for your safe transportation" said Odalia with a smile
As if on que, the abomination changed into the shape of a house on wheels. Odalia walked around it, opening the door and more, showing off the inside and outside of the abomination
"It has it all, heating, cooling, water, fire for cooking, weaponry and even comfy beds!" Said Odalia with a smile as many of attacks were fired at the Abomafort, but none causing any damage "As you can see, regular attacks won't even leave a dent. Sadly though, only one was made, and today, it would be given to the highest bidder"
_-_-_
"YOU SOLD MY ABOMINATION?!" Yelled Odwin angrily
Currently, at blight manor, Odwin confronted his mother about her special sale with his creation
"Odwin Blight, do not raise your voice against me" said Odalia with a scowl on her face, clearly displeased
"But-" said Odwin before noticing his mother's scowl deepening and her eyes narrowing, Odwin then lowered his voice obediently "Yes, mom"
Odwin backed off and lowered his voice. Dealing with his mother his entire life had many effect on Odwin, he knew not to upset her too much
Odalia scowl changed into a smile as she heard Odwin's change of demeanor, then she approached her youngest son
"Now, Bun-bun, i know you're...upset that i sold your creation, but you have to think about what's best for the family" said Odalia as she kneeled down to Odwin's height "Your little hobby is pointless. Sure, it's fun, but it has no purpose, after you graduate, you won't be able to use most of it and remember what i taught you"
"...Every situation is an opportunity" said Odwin staring at the floor with a frown as he clenched his fists
"And?"
"Everything has to have a purpose"
"Very good, Bun-bun" said Odalia as she stood back up with a satisfied smile on her face "and I was just putting your recipe to good use, i gave it a purpose, understood?"
Odwin's body shook silently as he struggled to answer, Odalia saw this, a scowl appeared on her face as she grew impatient very quickly
"Understood?" Asked Odalia more firmly this time
"...yes, mom"
"Good, now go to your room, you have a covention to go to tomorrow" said Odalia cheerfully "and i expect you to be on your best behavior"
"Yes, mom" said Odwin before slowly leaving the room as he stared at floor in frustration
_-_-_
"Odwin, come on, we need to go" said Amity as she looked at her brother lying face first on his bed
"Go without me, I'm not in the mood" said Odwin without movies an inch from his position
Amity stared at her twin with sympathy in her eyes, she knew about how their mom sold Odwin's creation, giving him no credit since, in their mother's words "no one would buy an abomination made by a teenager"
"I know you're upset at what mom did with your_"
"Not anymore, now it's the great Alador Blight's" said Odwin flipping unto his back with dejected frown
"C'mon, you've made tons of great things, just because one was taken away doesn't mean you're not amazing. You can read minds! What witch does that?" Said Amity cheerfully in hopes of making her twin happier
"A depressed witch with nothing better to do?" Said Odwin dejectedly
Amity frowned at that response, then, a smile crep unto her face as she thought of a solution
"Hey, Odwin" said Amity with a cheeky smile "guess what i have?"
"What?" Asked Odwin before noticing something above Amity's hand
It was a light spell
"Ooooh" said Odwin reaching for the light before Amity pulled her hand away, causing him to fall off the bed "Ow!...Sometimes i regret not peeking into your mind"
"C'mon, you'll feel better when you're at the covention, i know how much you like being surrounded by magic" said Amity with a smile "Now get in your uniform, we have to go, they have a mystery guest coming to the covention today"
"I already know who it is, but fine" said Odwin drawing a circle in the air, causing his clothes to change into his Hexside oracle track uniform "I'll do it for the magic"
"That's the Odwin i know" said Amity with a happy smile "Now let's get going, i wanna see the emperor's coven"
"I think I'll go visit the bard this time" said Odwin standing back up "gotta try to fill up that journal with something other than theories"
"And I'll get to see the emperor's coven" said Amity happily before squealing in excitement
Then, Odwin and Amity left the room and headed to the covention
_-_-_
Amity squealed happily once more as she and Odwin made it to the covention. Odwin laughed at his sister's reaction to which she responded to with a light punch before focusing on the covention again
"Ooh! What about we go to one of the cat covens later? i know you want to go to the bard coven but let's leave it after the emperor's, i don't wanna miss it" said Amity excitedly
"Calm down, Amity, you're jumbling everything together" said Odwin smiling
Amity then looked at her twin like he just committed a sin worth the death penalty
"Who are you and what did you do with my brother" Said Amity with a disappointed frown
"Sorry, Amity. I'm still bummed out from that sale thing" said Odwin scratching the back of his head "So I'm not as excited as i usually am"
"Well, magic is sure to get you excited, it always does" said Amity softly with a smile
And then, Amity pulled Odwin inside the covention
"Okay, let's head to the emperor's coven, it always comes first" said Amity happily
"Sure, even though they're just a bunch of hacks" said Odwin before blowing a raspberry
"You'll realize how wrong you are when i join" said Amity with a smug smile
Odwin gave Amity an unimpressed look
"Sure, let's just go" said Odwin pushing Amity towards the Emperor's coven stadium at the covention
Then they made it to the stadium without issue
_-_-_
"Wow, that was garbage, how did you actually enjoy that?"
"Psh, come on, it was great" said Amity with a smile
"I think I'll stick with the light spell" deadpanned Odwin
Odwin and Amity came out of the emperor's coven's stadium, Amity loved it and Odwin didn't
"Your loss"
"Well, if you need me, I'll be at the bard coven" said Odwin before walking away to the bard coven
Odwin knew what today was, it was another episode, but there were things that needed to not change
The duel between Amity and Luz was one of them, but there were things that could be changed about it
But that comes after the bard coven, Odwin could hear the music as he headed towards it, but when he reached it
"You!"
"Oh come on! Not again" groaned Odwin tiredly "Look Skara, I'm not in the mood for this"
"Why are you at the bard coven?" Asked Skara with a scowl
"I come here every covention, Skara. I just like to watch them play"
"Not this time, leave" said Skara with a frown on her face
"No, and you can't make me"
"I can and i will, I've been left in charge of the bard part of the covention" said Skara calmly "So again, leave"
"Since when?" Asked Odwin raising a brow in confusion
"Since today, just get out already"
"I'm not leaving, Skara" said Odwin with a frown
By now, a decent crowd formed around the two as they argued
"Then we'll just have to this the old way" said Skara in a dignified manner "I challenge you to a duel, the loser has to never come to the bard coven at any covention again, that sound good?"
Odwin groaned as he heard this, he lost a creation of his recently, he didn't want to lose his only source of bard magic as well
"Fine, Skara, i accept"
"Good" said Skara with a smile as she drew a red magic circle "Now, the oath"
Odwin rolled his eyes before shaking Skara's hand
"I just need to go do something before we get to the duel" said Odwin calmly "Do you mind?"
"Not at all"
Today was gonna be a long day
_-_-_
"Ugh, why does Skara hate me so much? It's getting annoying" said Odwin pinching the bridge of his nose as he walked through the covention
The duel with Skara was an issue, but dealing with Luz and Amity came first
If things happened like the show, Amity would get embarrassed in front of an entire crowd of people because of Lilith cheating
It was a big deal because of their mother. It wasn't something Odwin wanted his twin to go through
So he decided to approach her as she trained with the leader of the emperor's coven, Lilith
"Hey Amity, can you come here for a second?" Said Odwin calmly
Amity took a glance at her teacher, Lilith Clawthorne, who gave her permission to go before heading to her twin
"Isn't it amazing, Odwin? I'm learning under THE leader of the emperor's coven!" Said Amity happily "What have you been doing?"
"Getting a duel with Skara, also, i know about yourduel" said Odwin calmly "and i have to tell you a few things about it"
"Okay?"
Lilith stared at the twins silently, studying the two's reactions, it was shameful to admit, but she got a little curious as to what were they talking about, especially with the glances they gave her here and there during their conversation
After a bit of time, Amity went back to Lilith silently
"Is everything alright?" Asked Lilith curiously
"Yes, my brother was just asking about how i felt, training with the leader of the emperor's coven and all" answered Amity calmly
"Well, how are you feeling about it?" Asked Lilith with a smile
"...very enlightened" said Amity with a fake smile
"I'm happy to hear that, but now, let's get back to business" said Lilith before they commenced their practice
_-_-_
Odwin had once considered seeking out one of the Clawthorne sisters to teach him magic
They were both extremely powerful witches who could offer him a lot to learn
But one thing stopped him, one simple fact
They were awful teachers
Eda didn't teach Luz even one glyph, and Lilith was either too busy or didn't care THAT much, Lilith didn't even bother with Amity and just slapped a power glyph on her
So Odwin gave up on that idea a long time ago
"Are you ready now?" Asked Skara raising a brow with her Violin and bow in hand
"Yup" said Odwin with an oracle orb in hand
The two were now in the...second arena (since the first one was already in use)
It was smaller and less grandoise, but it did the trick, and the crowd was there to watch
Then, after a long silence, the duel started and the two got into their positions
Skara let out the first attack, Odwin dodged easily before letting out a simple purple fireball
Skara then let out many small attacks in rapid succession, hoping to overwhelm Odwin's ability to dodge
And it did work, giving him a cut on the cheek
Odwin's expression grew serious as he drew a magic circle, creating an oracle spirit to attack Skara
Skara attacked the spirit with multiple shockwaves,
but it only slowed it down, the spirit fell apart and regenerated
almost like an abomination
Then Odwin started closing the distance with Skara
Skara tried to push him away as much as possible using shockwaves, but failed. in the end, she was pushed to a corner
Her attacks became more and more random, she didn't even notice the spirit moving behind her
It picked her up and another spirit, much bigger than the first one, appeared from Odwin's orb
The bigger spirit took away Skara's violin before raising it's hand to attack
A horrified expression appeared on Skara's face as she stared at the bigger spirit, she was paralyzed in fear
That attack could kill her
And when Odwin saw Skara's expression, he finally realized what he was doing
Was he really gonna do all of this for something he isn't gonna use? Skara was an actual bard, she could actually make use of interacting with other bards, she could become better at magic or.make friends
And like his mother said "It's just a pointless hobby"
Odwin sighed then snapped his fingers, making the spirits he summoned drop Skara and her weapon
And after staring at Skara silently for a few seconds
He spoke
_-_-_
"I forfeit the match" said Amity calmly "and sorry to your pet"
"WHAT?!" Asked practically everyone in the arena
Everyone was confused, why would Amity forfeit the match, she was winning and by a landslide
But it all changed when Luz the human, tried to blind Amity using a weird symbol, the human failed, only managing to create an orb of light
But when Amity saw it, she saw something in Luz
It was like Odwin, he also used those symbols to make magic happen
She stared at the human in front of her, would she be able to do the same to her twin?
To make him give up on learning magic entirely?
She couldn't
"B-but Amity! You_" said Lilith before Amity her off
"Oh, that reminds me" said Amity before drawing a magic circle to create an abomination
The abomination stepped unto one of the many mounds in the arena, causing spikes to appear from the ground, stabbing the abomination all over
"Cheating again, Edalyn?" Said Lilith in a disappointed tone "i guess that means_"
"I'm not done, does this look familiar to you?" said Amity with a frown as she pulled out a power glyph "you tried to put this on me"
Everyone gasped at the revelation
"I-it was because i knew she'd cheat!"
"Well, i did fine without it!" Said Amity angrily before storming out of the arena
And then she and Odwin went back home
To an angry mother
_-_-_
"What were you two thinking?! Giving up two duels?!"
"I-it just wasn't worth the_" said Odwin before his mother cut him off
"It's not about the reward, it's about the victory. Blights can't just go around losing simple duels" said Odalia with an angry scowl
"But_" said Amity
"No buts! From now on, any public duels you do, you have to win, no matter what" said Odalia frowning "Understood?"
""Yes, mom"" said the twins in unity
"You two will start helping a little with Blight industries to make up for those duels, but for now, go to your rooms" said Odalia firmly
The twins silently obeyed and headed to their room, as they left the room, they saw Ed and Em snickering, they heard the whole thing
Odwin and Amity ignored them and went to their rooms
Or that would be the case if not for the giant gift box riddled with holes inside Odwin's room
"What is that?" Said Amity in confusion
Odwin approached the gift and saw a card that was on top of it
"I am not a theif, so please consider this a fair trade...from one inventor to another?" Said Odwin reading the card before he started opening the gift "So it's from dad? No offense, but i don't want an abomination right now-"
Odwin saw what was inside, it was no abomination
Inside, was a sleeping, purple, eagle like creature inside a cage
"Well, that explains the breathing holes" said Odwin before a realization dawned on him "wait, why can't i read it's mind?"
_-_-_
I'm honestly afraid this chapter sucked but i guess i can only hope it was good
Tell me what you think, leave a review
Toodles.
