A Myriad of Mysteries

"Because I never ordered him to move and thankfully those brats are finally gone," Nadier spoke as he hid a grin. He grabbed Eirisinia's dagger and threw it across the room, the metal clanged repeatedly before stopping. "Hahahahaha, now you'll get to see how your own power takes the lives of the people closest to you."

Nadier struggled to break free from the fabric bindings. He managed to conjure a blade and cut through the binds. He burried the blade on Reyzenar's stomach and because he was missing his armour, it went through his skin and hints of blood dropped down near his boots.

"Reyzenar!" Eirisinia shouted before her knees fell to the ground and her breathing quickened.

Seira and Izin went to Reyzenar and took out the blade before wrapping his wound with conjured bandages.

Nadier attempted to stand but he collapsed to the ground and desperately grabbed the stone of desire. When he felt it in his hands, he crawled to a nearby wall.

"Iris, are you alright?" Reyzenar asked as he said each word slowly. He was still worried about her despite him loosing a large amount of blood.

Eirisinia's breathing quickened and a lock of her hair fell in front of her. They all witnessed how her yellow hair turned purple and how her eyes were a mix of blue and pink, it almost looked purple.

"I told you she was your daughter," Nadier murmured despite his fatigued state. "An Equinox conjurer with too much uncontrolled power, I wonder what will happen next?" He managed a smug look.

Daggers of light and dark began appearing and immediately spun around her body. A blade hit Reyzenar's back and he screamed in agony.

"Reyzenar, get away... from me," she struggled to say those simple words.

"Izin what do we do," Seira clenched Izin's torn shirt as tears formed in her eyes. "We cannot lose her again."

Izin's eyes scanned the floor and there he saw the dagger. The diamond inside of it had a mix of swirling light and dark colors.

"Reyzenar, did this diamond always look like this?" Izin pointed at the diamond in the center of the dagger.

Reyzenar shook his head and said, "It used to be a black diamond," he struggled with every word.

"Argh!" Nadier's shout could be heard. A dagger burried itself into his right leg. "How dare you!"

"I cannot... control it," she fought her tiredness just to say every word.

What is going on?

"Your full power has been released all at once," even thought the dagger was far away, it was still able to communicate with her.

This much power... is too much. I cannot handle this all.

"I need to get it near her again," Izin suggested before conjuring his shield and ran towards Eirisinia.

Each blade flew with speed and power. One wrong move and the whole body would be impaled.

Izin moved closer and closer but a blade on top of him flew down with such great speed that he had no time to react.

Clang! Another blade deflected it. It was Seira, standing behind him holding her conjured twin blades.

"You keep moving forward, I shall defend your back," Seira spoke as she kept hitting more flying daggers.

They inched forward until Eirisinia was only a few feet away. Izin held the dagger firmly and stuck it to the ground infront of her. All the flying daggers attacked Izin's shield all at once. Pushing him and Seira back to where Reyzenar stayed.
