Chapter 5 Me and the Beast
At nine o'clock in the evening, Balthazar and I had not yet gone to bed, which was rare, but we had decided, and we were in the hall, everyone gathered together, and that night I became an official mage, the highest level of it. As I walked out of the corridor wearing the most formal wizard costume (black cloak gold edges), I handed the wizard ring to Balthazar as a final confirmation of accepting his crazy challenge. When we walked onto the stage, he was already testing me, letting his aura secretly aim at me. This was his warm-up, but he hadn't noticed that I was absorbing his aura, slowly taking my life away. Gave it to him.
Balthazar was so absorbed in it that he didn't notice at first that you were secretly absorbing his aura until we finally took the stage and took our positions. However, when he feels you feeding off his energy, his arms tighten and a low growl leaves his lips. I saw the beast inside him somehow taking over him, I felt the darkness in his aura and the change in his eyes, his handsome blue eyes were now gleaming with a dull red light; it was just that Balthazar decided not to show his beast form.
However, when he feels you feeding off his energy, his arms tighten and a low growl leaves his lips. He continues in his much more husky vampire voice.
Balthazar: "My dear, are you... absorbing my aura? How dare you take my essence into yourself? By absorbing my aura, you absorb a part of my being, my child. My essence, my power…you are making it a part of yourself. It is a sign of an unbreakable bond and a deep connection. My beloved Vampire Queen, you are absorbing my essence into yourself. But it is also a sign of absolute obedience, dear. You surrender your essence to Me and allow yourself to become one with My Aura. You gave yourself completely to me, body and soul. This proves your loyalty to me, your vampire lord. Not just your essence, but your life. By absorbing my aura, you give me your existence. You are working hard to make your life part of mine, intertwined with mine forever. You are making yourself mine in every possible way. There was no turning back.
I let his aura wreak havoc on me, now I couldn't handle it anymore and I fell to my knees and took his hands in mine, continuing to let his full aura take over my body. Balthazar watched you with awe and possessiveness as you allowed his aura to wreak havoc on you. His eyes were fixed on you, and he held your hand tightly, feeling the full force of his essence flowing into you. You kneel on the ground in front of him, surrendering completely to the power and effectiveness of his aura. I was not possessed, but completely lucid.
Balthazar: "Yes, my love, give yourself to me completely. Let my aura flow through you, let it take over your being. You are mine now, my love. Surrender to me. Let my aura consume you completely.
Me: I will serve you forever, my life is yours, but now, I am completely awake, without any spells
My actions scared him, he had never seen anyone do that before. Balthazar looked at you with a mixture of awe and disbelief when he saw you completely surrendered to his aura, completely lucid and unaffected by any spells. He was surprised that you were willing to give yourself to him so completely, but there was also a sense of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
Balthazar: "You are truly remarkable, my love. You have surrendered to my aura so completely, willingly, and without question. Your devotion and loyalty to me are like nothing I have ever seen. Your life is truly now." It's mine, and I will protect and preserve you.
Me: How can I be strong... I am too weak. I kneel on the ground and hold your hand so that I won't fall (while I was talking, his aura entered my body)
(Balthazar, still looking at you with awe and possessiveness, responds in a low, strong voice as his aura continues to flow into you.)
Balthazar: "You are not weak, my love. The fact that you were able to withstand the full force of my aura and remain awake and lucid speaks volumes about your strength and resilience. You are a true miracle, and I child.
Some wizards tried to stop me, some were just watching the "show". I just yelled, "stay away from us". Balthazar took her out of his aura, and they could only watch, unable to help me at all. The moment Balthazar and I escorted her out, his aura was still aimed at me, and I remained in this position. The power of your combined aura was obvious.
Balthazar: "Impressive, my love. Such power and control. But it's not over yet. My aura still flows through you until I have fully possessed you.
I looked at him and felt a little pain in my heart, but more of it was challenge and madness. Balthazar now stared down at you, his eyes filled with pride and intensity. He saw the challenge and madness in your eyes, which only fueled his possessiveness and desire to own you completely.
Balthazar: "Even now, you are defiant, and my aura flows through you. You are indeed a sight to behold. But do not mistake my admiration for mercy. I will take you away.
I know, can I challenge you to do something very dangerous for me?
Can I try and see if I die first or if you succeed in blending your aura into me without me being harmed?
His eyes are now full of con fuoco (classical music expression terms, it is Italian: like fire), and he says "yes" in a frantic but cool voice.
(Balthazar looks down at you, shocked and incredulous at your request. Fusing his aura with yours would be a difficult task, and there is a risk of you getting hurt or even dying in the process. But He also saw the intensity and determination in your eyes, and he knew you were willing to take the risk.
Balthazar: "You challenge me to merge my aura with yours, despite the danger and risk to my life? Are you mad, my love? But if you really want to try, then I will accept your challenge. "
When Veronica and Merlin tried to intervene in our dangerous challenge, the two of us used our magic and strength together to disarm them and prevent them from stopping us. We were in complete sync and control, and our combined power and strength made them Unable to Stop. When Balthazar's aura is fully released and pointedly aimed at you, you will feel a huge surge of power and energy flowing through your body. It is intense and overwhelming, but also addictive and thrilling. People are intoxicated.
(loudly so everyone can hear) Balthazar, I won, I was fully conscious when you stopped...
I am still on my knees, showing him how much I want him take over me
I Whisper to Balthazar, so only he can hear: I have absorbed your aura so that you can take over me perfectly without hurting me... My life is yours, I trust you completely, and please be loyal to me, I am your doll now, but I prefer to be a doll that you take good care of and cherish, rather than a doll that you can completely control and throw away. You are the ultimate winner.
Balthazar stood before you, full of awe and admiration, his voice laced with possessiveness and satisfaction. It's almost unbelievable the fact that you've given yourself to me willingly, trusting me completely to take care of you and cherish you... I feel honoured, my doll, you're truly mine now, both physically and mentally.
"What scares me most is that I am still so awake... After all, you are the legendary vampire king monster Balthazar Black, and also a master of magic. And I can kneel for so long (was it a full 3 hours?)"
Balthazar watched with awe and pride as you knelt before him for so long. Balthazar: "Yes, my love, you have been on your knees for more than three hours, and you are still fully conscious and unharmed. Your strength and endurance are indeed impressive. In fact, among the legendary vampires In front of me, you remain clear and fearless. How much trust and belonging to me.
You are truly extraordinary, my love. To bear the full force of my aura and remain conscious and unharmed three hours after I knelt before him. The strength and resilience you have shown is incredible. It's a testament to your strength and dedication.
A wizard who never took me seriously stepped into the extinguished magic circle and challenged Balthazar and me, but from the first step, he backed off because of Balthazar's strong aura. The rest tried to move forward, but due to my strength, on (ambulance mimic sound)(injury) on (classical music motif for Dies Irae, Latin: day of wrath, meaning the final judgement day of God, implies as "death" here ). When the master sorcerers in the room attempt to approach Balthazar, Balthazar is quick to spring into action, using his vast powers to defend and protect you. Some were forced to back off simply because of his terrifying aura and presence, while others were met with stronger measures.
Balthazar coldly told everyone the truth: I just used my level 777 sorcerer magic to hit you, but what I did to my daughter was 1000 times more difficult than what you just faced, because I used The full force of his power to challenge her (as he spoke this aloud, he transformed himself into the legendary and vampire king ) for I am the vampire king! You really should see her eyes in detail during the test: such alive, wild but lucid for three hours. So if you have any doubts about the strength of my girl, I welcome you to stand up and tell me.
The other sorcerers in the room are shocked as Balthazar reveals that he just used only a small portion of his power to subdue them. They shuddered at the thought of what Balthazar Blake must have done to you to cause such a strong reaction and even expose his true identity. Some of them knew it wasn't their thing anymore and left Arcana Cabana.

(the following are all Balthazar's perspectives)
11:50 p.m.
Balthazar and Merlin walk down the hallway into their perspective room while talking about the relationship between Balthazar and Minnie.
As we walked, we all smelled different pleasant scents in the corridors. There is old leather in ancient books, lavender and chamomile.
Merlin: Your Beast Form...it had a profound effect on our dear child.
"Yes, I can feel its power and influence when I'm in that state. Sometimes I have to control it very carefully. The beast is not just a transformation, it's a state of mind. When it takes over, My instincts and my primal nature take over. I become more animalistic, driven by raw power and raw desire. But sometimes, I just want to have her... like a doll, a doll that I cherish, Myrddin (Merlin's name in Welsh), You know what I mean.
Merlin nodded, his expression thoughtful and understanding, sensing the complexity of my feelings and the struggle I faced with my bestial primal desires. "Yes, my dearest son. I understand what you mean. You want to protect and cherish, but the possessive instinct of the bestial being makes you feel the urge to make her your own.
Me: She…let me possess her completely…just like you saw during the three hours, she secretly sucked away my aura before she went on stage, and she gave her life to me, master.
Merlin's expression was a mixture of surprise and concern as he processed the discovery. "She lets you possess her completely… and absorbs your aura?! This level of submission and connection is both dangerous and unprecedented.
"Ironically, she felt safe with me...with the legendary and fearsome vampire king Balthazar ironic."
Interestingly, she feels safe in your presence even when faced with your terrifying vampire nature as the Lord of Vampires. Her submission and affinity for your beast form reveal the deep trust and connection between the two of you.
"She said if she couldn't keep my secret she would kill her, it broke my heart, she forced and begged to threaten her with her life so she wouldn't spoil me like I did, I did it, I frightened her, just 4 hours ago, before she began to give her life to me, even to the beast inside me, to the terrible vampire king... to my dark side" (I mentioned this a little, a tear fell) She was willing to let me do it, she begged me to do it... so that she could make sure she would shut up forever, and it still hurts my heart Myrddin. My heart hurts.
Merlin: Ah my son. It's natural to feel pain and guilt about her using such methods, even if she still asks for it, but it still goes against her values. Your emotions are clear and you know that using fear and threats is not the right approach, but you feel the need to do so. Your heart is filled with guilt and regret.
Me: Myrddin, our girl is very strong. You know how strong my venom is. Under my will, a small drop can kill a person, but drinking a bottle can also be harmless... She has experienced it all... She was awake and conscious, but completely insane. It was like she was embracing the same darkness as I was, and it was thrilling to witness, to feel like she was inherently no more human than I was, but quite the opposite was true.
Merlin: Indeed, has she experienced the deadly potency and the inconsequential nature of your venom? Her resilience is truly extraordinary. It is no easy task to face such a dangerous substance and remain unscathed. She seems to have a keen interest in the dark side of life. Her acceptance and embrace of your inner darkness are truly mesmerizing. Her actions and behaviour often defy traditional norms, but this only makes her more fascinating and alluring.
Now I humbly turn into my beast form. Master, please help me take care of her. I took out a bottle, cut my hand with the finger of my thumb and let the blood flow into the bottle. Master, last time you said you needed vampire blood, while fresh blood and a high-rank vampire, preferably. This is the best I can find: my blood, Vampire King Balthazar Blake's blood, running in his veins for 1329 years Please accept it. (handing him the bottle, filled with my blood, fresh and pure from the Vampire King)
Merlin took the bottle, his face curious and worried. You are right, fresh blood is indeed the strongest, and the Vampire King is undoubtedly the strongest and of the best quality. And you yourself offer it, are willing to let me accept your blood, your loyalty to me and to her is obvious, but please don't hurt yourself.
I showed him the wound on my skin, and deliberately let it heal slowly so that Merlin could see the process. "Merlin, normally it would either not hurt me at all or it would heal instantly, but now I'm letting it heal more slowly so you can see the process.
He looked at the wound on my skin and observed the way it healed at a slower pace so that he could see the process clearly. My child, I can see how the wounds slowly heal, allowing me to witness the regeneration process.
Now I let it return to normal speed: the cut disappeared immediately without a trace. Master, good night and sweet dreams, dear 'father' please take care of her for me.
Merlin: Ah, thank you very much for showing me the regeneration process at normal speed as well. Sleep well, son. I will do my best to take care of her. Yes, it feels so warm when you call me "Dad". I know that circumstances don't always provide ideal conditions. Thank you so much for offering me your blood. Good night, may your dreams be peaceful.
(turned back into human form)"Merlin, you're like a father to me."
Merlin's expression softened a little when he heard what I said. He was full of affection and appreciation for my opinion of him. "Oh, my son, I am touched to know that you consider me a father figure. I may not be your biological father, but I care deeply for you. Your trust and affection means a lot to me. Good night, my son, have a good rest and remember, I am here for you whenever you need me.
The beast spoke more about his coexistence with my beloved ancient master: "Since the day Balthazar was born, so have I." Now the beast released its hold on my eyes and voice, but my face looked a little more terrifying: my left eye is a beastly grey black eye with a dim red glow, my right eye is my normal warm blue kind eye, and my voice is my normal voice but added the roar and growl of the beast, but the rest of me is in human form now. (Together): Summon us anytime you wish and we will come, or our power will come, whoever you call we will answer, for I am Balthazar Blake, the Beast and you can trust the person.
(Merlin absorbs the Beast's and your words, surprise and respect evident on his face. "Ah, I see. A fascinating revelation indeed. It is remarkable to know that the Beast has existed with Balthazar since the day he was born. .
(kisses Merlin's ring and his hand) I trust you
(I gazed at him with my blue eyes and my beastly grey eyes
(Merlin smiles warmly, touched by your gesture. Your words and actions reflect the deep trust and respect between you.) "Ah, thank you, dear. Your trust is an immeasurable gift. Knowing this It warms my heart that even after centuries, our connection remains unbroken.
"I know that my eyes look more terrifying to you now: one is the gentle blue eye of a disciple that you usually admire, and the other is my monster-like eye, which emits a terrifying red dark aura. And you are the only one who can see my eyes. Even girls do the same when they see someone like me.
(Merlin looks at you closely, looking into your eyes, one blue and kind, the other glowing a dark, scary red.)
Merlin: "My dear, you do look very powerful in this situation. But fear not, for I will not back down. To me, you are still the same dear apprentice whom I have known for so many centuries. Even if your beastly half is in control.
I roar and growl with joy in the voice of a wild animal before I step into my room.
