Reincarnation Curse: Art Of Arcane Magic

Chapter 4: The Perilous Journey

Niac and Leba were still processing their encounter with the monk as Jaxon led them out of the cave. They were bursting with questions, and finally, Niac spoke up.

"Jaxon, who was that monk? How did you know about him? And why did you bring us there?"

Jaxon looked at them with a knowing smile. "That, my friends, is a story for another time. As for how I knew about the monk, let's just say I have my sources."

Leba couldn't help but feel frustrated at Jaxon's evasive answers. "Come on, Jaxon, can't you tell us anything more?"

Jaxon put a reassuring hand on Leba's shoulder. "I promise, you'll know everything in due time. But for now, we have another task at hand. We must find a blacksmith who can help us."

"Who is this blacksmith?", Leba asked.

"He is a mysterious figure who has been known to possess a certain skill. A skill that can aid us in breaking the curse."

Niac was skeptical. "And how do we find him?"

Jaxon replied, "The bracelet will help us find him, but his exact location is unknown. However, I have heard that he lives hidden in a mountain somewhere in the Himalayas."

Without wasting any more time, Jaxon used his bracelet to teleport them to the Himalayas. As they landed, they could feel the cold mountain air whipping around them. They took a deep breath and started their trek, searching for the blacksmith who would help them on their journey.

As they trekked through the snowy terrain of the Himalayas, Niac and Leba felt a growing sense of trepidation. The frigid winds whipped around them, making it difficult to see or hear anything in the blizzard. Jaxon led the way, his white bracelet glowing with an otherworldly light that illuminated their path.

Suddenly, a massive creature emerged from the shadows, baring its sharp teeth and claws. It was a Yeti, the legendary monster of the Himalayas. Niac and Leba froze in terror, unsure of how to defend themselves against such a fearsome foe.

But Jaxon sprang into action, unleashing his powers with a flick of his wrist. He conjured gusts of wind that buffeted the Yeti and forced it back, then followed up with a burst of flame that singed its fur. The creature let out a deafening roar, but Jaxon didn't flinch.

"Keep moving", he urged Niac and Leba, as he continued to hold the Yeti at bay. "I'll catch up with you soon." Leba looked confused and asked "How the fuck did he do that?" Niac grabbed his hand and replied "This not the time for questions. Run idiot!!"

As the Yeti charged, Jaxon used the bracelet to teleport to a random location nearby. The Yeti was disoriented for a moment, giving Jaxon the opportunity to unleash a blast of fire, which sent the beast tumbling backwards.

But the Yeti quickly recovered and charged again, forcing Jaxon to teleport once more. This time, he reappeared right behind the creature, and with a swift flick of his wrist, he summoned a powerful gust of wind that sent the Yeti stumbling forward.

Jaxon continued to teleport at random, mixing up his elemental attacks, keeping the Yeti on its toes. Sometimes he'd appear high above, raining down hydro daggers. Other times he'd appear close, unleashing a torrent of fire at point-blank range.

Despite its size and strength, the Yeti was soon tiring, and Jaxon seized his chance. He teleported to the beast's side, using his bracelet and yelled "Wind Magic- Swirling Tornado!!" A huge tornado spawned which lifted Yeti and threw it off.

The Yeti crashed to the ground, defeated, and Jaxon breathed a sigh of relief. "I never wanted to kill it and that's why it took so long. If I would have used my full powers it would have died." he said in a low tone.

While Jaxon was fighting with Yeti, Niac and Leba had been trekking through the treacherous Himalayan terrain for hours, facing one challenge after another. The cold winds, slippery ice, and thin air made it a difficult journey. But they were determined to find the mysterious Blacksmith who could help them undo the curse on them.

As they entered an icy cave, they felt a sense of relief that they were at least out of the elements. But their respite was short-lived as they suddenly heard a loud cracking sound above them. The pointed ice stalactites hanging from the ceiling began to break and fall to the ground.

Niac and Leba tried to dodge them, but one of the large chunks was about to fall on top of Niac. Just as they thought it was the end, Jaxon appeared out of nowhere, using his bracelet to teleport to their location.

In a flash of light, Jaxon appeared next to Niac, holding his arm out to shield him from the falling ice. The ice crashed against Jaxon's outstretched arm, and he winced in pain. But he kept his focus and used his bracelet to teleport the siblings to a safer location.

The siblings asked if Jaxon was okay. Jaxon held up his arm and activated the power of his white bracelet. The bracelet began to emit a bright light, engulfing Jaxon's body. As the light faded, his wound had vanished completely, and he stood up straight, showing no signs of injury.

Niac and Leba stared in amazement, never having seen anything like it before. Jaxon smiled at them reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine now. The white bracelet has the power to heal wounds and restore my energy."

Leba asked Jaxon "How the fuck were you summoning gusts of wind, are you a time traveller or a magician?" "Actually I am both", Jaxon smiled answering Leba's question. "Well that explains a lot I guess but ayee I still have many questions" Leba said in a excited tone. "Now now, calm down Leba" Niac said covering his forehead with his hand. Jaxon chuckled "I guess Leba is one full of energy and you are the one who's serious and calm". Niac said "Yeah that's pretty much it".

After the conversation they continued their journey. Eventually, they reached a narrow passageway that led to the heart of the mountain. Jaxon signalled for them to stop, indicating that they had finally arrived at their destination.

"Be ready for anything", Jaxon warned them, as they stepped into the shadows. "We don't know what we're walking into."

Niac and Leba nodded, clutching their enchanted lockets tightly. They could sense that danger lurked around every corner, and they trusted Jaxon to guide them through it. Together, they braced themselves for whatever lay ahead.
