My Beginning After the End

Blood Deviant

"I will not, and never will, give up my bond." Arthur spoke in a cold tone that sent shivers down everyone's back.

Here it comes.

"How dare you speak to the King that way." Sebastian turned to a soldier. "Get the brat!"

A guard launched himself at Arthur bringing up his sword, and in instance ended up on his back. Arthur was going to activate static void, so I needed to be fast.

I felt the mana coursing through the veins of Sebastian and as he lifted his staff, that was in his left hand. I moved the mana in him, to his arm. I then proceeded to hold his arm still, in a locked position, when it was halfway up. 

Sebastian made noise. "Uhh!" I think he was in shock, or he didn't know what was going on. Why he couldn't move his arm. "My arm! It's stuck."

Arthur who was getting ready to defend himself against Sebastian, now stood confused as well. 

"What do you mean your arm is stuck, Sebastian?" The King grew angry. "You were going to attack a kid, that is unacceptable." I kept on holding Sebastian's arm still. "Even if he declines an offer from a King, it's doesn't mean to respond with killing him."

"Art, are you okay?" My father asked as he placed a hand on his back.

"Yeah, I think this guy fell." He pointed at the guard on the ground. 

"Please accept my apology for my guards' actions, they will be reprimanded." The King looked at the bewildered Sebastian with anger. His arm was still locked in place. "Sebastian, why are you holding your arm like that still?"

"I can't." He tried pushing down on it. "I can't move it. It's stuck!"

"Take this man away." The King ordered, and two other guards walked up to him. "It's a childish excuse to say your arm can't move, Sebastian."

The one guard went to grab his arm, and as he did, I tried to release the spell; when I did, I started to feel light head, and I leaned more on my mother's leg. The mana started to move rapidly in his arm, I didn't have control over it anymore. Then, suddenly, his arm blew up, like literally blew up. Blood started to rush out of his shoulder, his arm was completely gone. 

"Ahhh!" Sebastian screamed in agony. 

"Oh my god!" Countless people shouted. My mother grabbed Ellie and I with each hand. I started to breathe heavily, from using blood magic. I didn't mean to hurt him that badly. My eyes started to drift shut, but as I was pulled away from the scene, I quickly composed myself, still breathing heavily using the sight of the incident as an excuse if needed.

"Ahhh!" He continued screaming.

"What in the world?!" King Blaine was covered in blood. "Get healers up here immediately, Vincent." I looked at my mother who was a healer, but she didn't move. "Figure out what the hell happened." 

"I'm on it!" Uncle Vincent said, as his eyes were wide. "Tabitha, Alice, get the kids out of here." 

"Okay." My mom escorted Ellie and I out of the scene. Aunty Tabitha covered Lilia's eyes as she walked out, and my dad took Arthur out of the room. "Are you two okay?" My mother leaned down and hugged us as we entered another room with nobody in it. Ellie was now crying, I was in shock from what I did, there was no reply to her question.

"Lilia come here." Aunty Tabitha called out.

"Arthur was that you?" My father asked, but it was getting difficult to hear over Ellie's crying. I was breathing extremely heavily, as my head was on my mother's shoulder.

"No." Arthur said plainly. "I didn't even feel mana, did you?"

"I was thinking the same thing, I didn't even see anything going. I thought he was lying." That's good, they didn't know it was me. They also couldn't sense it, which is a positive, but I don't know if I could do that again.
