Enchanter

Chapter 9

Three days had passed since John, the keeper of the sparks, had decided to come and visit and Cas still couldn't shake what he had said. Even so he knew that he had no time to sit around and grovel. As soon as the hospital gave him clearance to start walking around he began going to the roof daily to look outward to the city, which he found out was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He still could remember what had happened and he felt like he didn't even want to.

Today was the first day that Cas decided to look into the mirror. He noticed how gaunt he had become, but he was lean with muscle. He began to feel how long his hair had become when his eyes flashed green. Shocked he took a step back, he didn't know why but suddenly he touched his finger to the mirror and began to inscribe strange markings with ribbons of light, "You thought that I wouldn't notice," he said calmly. "I break your spells." The mirror began to crack and shatter.

Suddenly Cas became aware again and couldn't understand what had happen, "Eli," he had screamed.

"What is it," said Eli appearing from the shadows.

"My mirror," Cas said pointing, "It shattered and I don't know why."

Eli walked up to the sink and focused on the fragmented mirror. "I see," he said his eyes gold. "Someone was using a spell for spying on this glass." He turned around and looked at Cas, "Somehow you broke it."

"But how," Cas began to panic. "I don't remember any of it."

"Let me see." Eli walked up to Cas his eyes shining bright gold. "Let me see into your magic." Cas' eyes flashed green and Eli was forced to close his eyes, "What the hell!"

Cas was frightened, "What's wrong, are you ok?"

"Your magic just safe guarded you from my scan." Eli opened his eye, "It's a very coming thing that happens whenever you have inscribers that just got there magic." Eli looked away toward the door, "It explains a lot, but brings more important questions to the table."

"Of course it does." Cas had a realization, "So is that why I can't remember what happened in the arena."

"Yes that could just very well be it, but that's not what disturbs me. The safe guard will slowly dissolve the more you gain control of your powers as an inscriber." Eli paused, "What concerns me is that your eyes are green."

"Why is that a problem," Cas was defensive. "There's probably a bunch of people with green eyes, I mean you have gold."

"You only get a choice between gold, red and blue," Eli spat. "Green shouldn't exist." The room went quiet and the Eli pulled out his father's book, "Unless, no it can't be." He thumbed through the pages, "I starting to think that you might be more trouble than what you're worth."

"Hey," said Cas, "I take that to some offense, jerk."

"Just listen," Eli spoke, "and I don't think that that was appropriate."

"Whatever," Cas folded his arms and jokingly rolled his eye, "Go on."

Eli looked at him with annoyance for a brief second and continued, "For the most part your father's book is complexly written. However I was able to figure out a small part, I though he was talking about a dream or an idea, but I feel like he was talking about you now."

"Eli, I don't think that my father knows that I even exist. I highly doubt that he knew I was going to have strange green eyes." Cas was beyond sceptical, he knew that magic was powerful, but seeing into the indefinite future was more than ridiculous.

"Upon this day," Eli said as if he wasn't phased by what Cas said. "I visited a woman who said she felt some sort of grand change that was going to happen because of me." Eli paused, "She said that I would be the bringer of light and that light would shine green."
