The Role of Mages

A Centurion War

FINALLY GONNA FREAKING UPDATE THIS STORY. I haven't uploaded because of writer's block, it's because of laziness. I practically have this entire story figured out.

" Let's see if you've improved at all." Aster taunts Nighttail.

In the blink of an eye, Nighttail attempts to stab Aster in the face but, misses.

Aster knees him in the stomach.

" Ahh!" He gags and chokes.

" Come on. You're really going to give up that easily?" Aster taunts.

Nighttail growls, making a spear appear in his hand and he swings it at Aster.

Aster disarms him of the spear.

" Ok then, the weapons are out of my favor." Nighttail punches Aster in the chest and knees him on his side.

Aster spits out blood and kicks his knee.

I watch Aster a little confused but, carefully.

" It's all happening to fast for me to keep track....."

I then see a blade appear on his shoe, does a cartwheel away from Nighttail, the blade slicing the side of Nighttail's neck open.

Nighttail puts his hand over the side of his blood, blood streaming down his hand and onto his shoulder, gasping for air.

Aster chuckles.

" So has the little brother given up." Aster taunts.

Nighttail growls then his eyes widen.

" No." He smirks and bright purple circle appears on the ground.

" Shit!" Aster grabs his axe and swings it at Nighttail but, is pushed back by the air around Nighttail and a swarm of mist surrounds him.

" Have fun with big brother." He says.

" Things are going to get tough..." Aster mutters, his axe in his hands.

"Wait.... Is Nighttail summoning his brother.....NightFury was it...." I ask.

" Yes, little pup." I hear a low voice, similar to Nighttail's voice say to me. He grabs my wrist and brings a blade to my throat.

" You Let Him Go Right Now!!" Aster glares at NightFury.

" Aster, you know how I work." The blade disappears and he wraps his hand around my throat. I begin to choke as his grip tightened around my neck.

" Let. Him. Go. Now!" Aster growls, his garnet red eye wide with anger.
" I told you." He smirks.
I struggle to try to let me go and I attempt to hit him behind me. All that did was make him sneeze my neck even more.
" I hate newbies. You can simply put your hand around their neck and Pop! Their life is gone." He narrows his eyes.
Aster, unable to control his anger, cuts his arms off, grabs me and gets away from NightFury.
I gasp for air.
" Touch him again and I'll cut off your head!" He glares at NightFury.
He chuckles.
" You amuse me. I'm glad my brother ran into you." His arms float up to his shoulders and reattach to his body.
" W-hat?" I manage to choke out as I continue to gasp for air. It like I can still feel his hand around my neck!
" But, I won't touch him till his skills approve." He says, moving his arms around.
" Let's finish this." Aster says.
" Agreed."
They step forward to each other.

" Did anyone see that burst of purple light?" Zero asks everyone through thought.
" I did." Ryland responds.
" Same here." Samus and Achned respond.
" Seems like Aster found him." Parcelius says.
" That Idiot!" Ryland face palms herself.

They both stop, breathing heavily, their bodies covered in wounds.
" Glad to see......You've....improved....but, that's not going to help you......" NightFury smirks and his wounds heal after a few seconds.
" Shit." Was his last word before getting hit in the head by the butt of a sword.
" Toodles." NightFury turns back into his brother.

He chuckles but, then blood kinda sprays out of the wound on his neck.
" YOU PIECE OF SHIT OF A BROTHER!!!!" He teleports.

" Aster!" I hear Celiest call his name as the rest of the group runs to us.
" Are you ok?!" Zero runs up to me.
" I....think so." My voice sounded rough.
" Damn. You have purple and blue handprints on your neck." He looks around my neck.
" Let's go home." Celiest picks up Aster. We nod and teleport back home.
