Magic in the Air

Chapter Seventeen Asher?

First stop is the Chalice of Life. Jen had brought all her prophecies and knew pretty much exactly where we're going.

I look at the page named "Where to Find the Chalice"

One wizard, of royal decent
Will join the five that are on this quest
An army to kill or an army to join
A quest of her own, that someone will join

She knows where it is
So tell her what you seek
She shares the blood
of the one that will drink

Head towards the way of the once seperate state
That's where you'll find her
There she awaits

"You said you know exactly where this is!" I yell at her.

"I said I know how to get there!" She replies. "We go north. To Alaska. The state that was connected to Canada in the two-thousands."

I huff, knowing getting mad will do nothing. We walk through the day for miles before we decide to stop for dinner. I give Jen the canned food from my bag. "Sparingly." I say and she rolls her eyes.

I gather sticks and branches and throw them in a pile. I make a fire ball in my hand and throw it at the sticks, starting a small fire.

I stand back up and put on a sweatshirt for extra warmth.

Next morning

Alexis puts out the fire with a splash of water. I rip my sweatshirt off and shove it in my back pack and we're ready to go.

One mile later, we finally find something exciting.

An arrow shoots past my head. I automatically fly into the air, where I have an advantage and make two fireballs, one in each hand. Sean makes a fireball, Alexis make a ball of ice, Mias hands get the glowing vines and Jen makes a large ball out of her purple.

Each wizard has a color that represents them and their power. No two wizards have the exact same color. Jen's is a dark purple and mines a bright pink with a black marble effect.

The first thing I see is a wizard with a neon green orb. The second thing I see is her army of both Merlains and Mortals. The third thing I notice is her eyes. Or... my eyes? She has my eyes. The exact shade of hazel filled with determination, curiosity, and a look that says I would die to protect the ones I love.

"You." We both whisper. It's the girl I saw when I was little. The one that looked just like me. Fear and confusion adding into the mix of emotions in our eyes. We both drop the fear and fake a look of steel.

"Having trouble deciding which power you've got?" She asks in a mocking tone.

"No." I reply. "I know exactly which power I have, it's called the 'savior of Merlains so get out of our way' power."

Her eyes widen and she vanishes her ball and signals her army to drop their weapons. "My apologies." She say bowing her head slightly. "I am Asher. We're on a quest to end the king and his rein of terror."

"I know him and the castle pretty well if you need any assistance. I used to live there."

"You worked there?" She asks. "I never saw you when I lived there."
