The Mystics Of Valenthia

34. War, Bloodshed, Theories And Death

"We need more allies!" Freya said in a business like voice while walking towards her office.

They attacked the Warmage Academy and all the Mystics, young and old who were present had taken upon themselves to defend our school.

"How about The Enchantress? Can't she come too?" I asked.

"She'll be here soon," Ferdinand replied.

"And others? Sol? Aeris? What about them?" I asked.

Freya whirled around and said in an icy tone," Why don't you go and help the Sanator to treat the injured ones? As you have no powers to fight and contribute in this war."

"That's enough, Freya," Ferdinand said quietly.

"No, it's not Ferdinand! If it weren't for her and her stupid powers, we wouldn't have had to deal with this!" Freya screamed at her brother.

I stepped back quietly and walked away from them. Of course, it was my fault. I'll be causing so much of wreck and havoc unintentionally and indirectly. But I'll be the one causing it.

I found the Sanator a bit annoyed and frustrated.

"Can I help you Sanator?" I asked meekly.

"Yes dear. Your help would be of utmost importance," she replied while mixing a brew with a questionable smell.

"You alright there Carter?" Julian asked while tackling a huge slimy monster.

"Never been better Ju!" I yelled back while slashing away at another one of those big, ugly creature.

"Hey Carter, a little help here maybe?" Bex called out. She was wearing a pair of headphones and was flying around on a huge CD-Rom disc. Also, she had two of those flying creatures pinned against her.

"Yeah sure," I said and sprinted towards her while Julian helped out one of the seniors.

The courtyard was full of such monsters wrecking havoc. But we won't let them enter our school. The Sanator had asked me to stay back and rest but how could I rest while this was partly my fault? And if not mine, then my mother's and aunts'?

"Ew ew ewww! Stop climbing you slimy little yuckity ewwww!"

"Stop grumbling Lena, will you?" I yelled out to her.

"What's your problem Nova? This stupid thing ruined a perfectly polished toenail!" Lena screeched back.

"Guys, stop fighting amongst yourself! Fight the insects!" Eva called as she took down a huge thing with her newly developed and lethal light saber.

"You're right there Eva!" I yelled and slashed out another huge monster.

"It will be okay, trust me," I tried to reassure a senior with a badly injured arm. The hospital room was not enough for the amount of injured Mystics coming in and we had to shift to the Main Hall.

The clouds had not parted since a long time but according to my internal clock, I guessed it was well past evening and they would soon stop. At least that's what I overheard Freya saying.

"Did ya miss us?" Bex nudged me as I handed her a cup of hot cocoa. We were in the common room, though it was nearly deserted. The school had survived the first day of battle without much casuality. I was happy for that but one never knows what tomorrow could bring.
