Magicians

Chapter 8

Seajay

We stood in shock about what happened. The man that shattered Trac's blade vanished before I can thank him. Trac turned and walked away leaving me in the wilderness. I set up tent and go to sleep.

I woke to the sound of a fire. I panicked and ran out of my to be greeted by the scorching midday sun and Macro making some good on the campfire.

"I said I was going to come back and that you shouldn't be worried." he says still focused on his lunch.

"I thought you might need some back up." I said. I stretched, yawned and say next to him.

He turns to me and says, "This place I'm going to is not safe unless you know what you are doing."

"Then explain to me what this place is, so I can understand more, Oh Wise One." I say sarcastically.

He smiles and says, "You know the person before me went to hell and discovered and new side to magic."

"Yeah, so." I said worried of what he might say next.

"I found and read one of his old journals and found out that his trip to hell was accidental. He wanted to go to a pocket dimension."

"What's that?" I said slightly relieved.

"Not sure exactly, but I found out how to get into one of them."

"I'm definitely going with you."

"There is no way I can stop you is there?"

"Not unless you want to knock me out."

"Wweeelllll."

I raised an eyebrow and he stopped talking.

"I thought so." I say to him. I scoot closer to him and reach over to get myself some food.

We eat in awkward silence, then we get up to put the tent away.

"What do we have to do exactly?" I ask him as I'm putting the tent into my bag.

"We to have to find a cult worship area."

"What?!" I turned to him and yelled.

"Sorry, but I figured it would be best to start where he started."

"Are you crazy? They are extremely powerful and not to mention there is only two of us."

"It's an abandoned site, so hopefully it will still have what I need."

"And that is?"

"A raw source of energy."

"Why do you need that?"

"Because if I'm able to manipulate it, then theoretically I should be able to open a rift."

I stay silent and continue my packing. He puts out the fire and we continue to the site.

We make to the worship area by sundown, so we decide to set up a camp far from it because it didn't feel right to be anywhere near it.

I wake up to the sound of someone yelling. I quickly get up and get dressed and run outside. Macro is out by worship site in his knees clutching his side.

"What happened?" I ask him.

"Nothing much. It just shocked me." He said quietly.

I look up and see a white orb. It was amazing the entire orb was swirling and it seemed to give off bad feelings and emotions. It almost seemed like it was trying to provoke me into doing horrible things.

"Ignore it." says Macro.

"But it seems like it talking to me." I says quietly.

"It supposed to. It lives off energy. In this case it's negative so it feeds off of evil."

"Oh"

I turn away from it and see him putting on some gloves with the crystals, that I gave him, embeded into it. He thrusts his hands into the energy and the crystals began to glow. The crystals seemed to be flooding it with is own energy.

"What's going on?" I ask him.

"I'm using the crystals power to open a rift to the pocket dimension. Flooding negative with positive should create an unbalanced that will tear a passage into it."

After a few seconds, the energy began to expand into a doorway about 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide.

"Amazing," I say to him,"so what's on the other side?"

"Not sure, but we'll find out." he says. He turns to me and smiles. We take a step foward and we enter a new reality.
