The War Of The Magi

Chapter 3

" Is this how it's going to be, Machate? You can come back to me with the shadow realm and get trained to be a shadow knight."
" Never." Machate hissed.
" Then you leave me with no choice." Caspian raised his sword, prepared to stab Machate. All of a sudden a figure in a black cloak ran toward Machate. The person shielded Machate not with their body, but with magix. Dark magix. The magix flowed through the air in dark swirling patterns. The other shadow knights immediately reacted by running toward the figure.
" Run!" The figure shouted. The way the figure sounded, it was more like a girl, so Machate assumed she was a girl. Then she sent a blast of magic that made all five shadow knights fall.
" Come with me!" She shouted.
" How do I know I can trust you?" Machate yelled.
" You don't! Just trust me!" She responded. " You don't have a choice! Quick, they're recovering!" She was right he didn't have much of a choice.
" Fine , I'll go with you he muttered. She ran toward him, then began to speak.
" This here is a soul shard." She held out a small white crystal. " Allow me to carry you in it. Just relax. When you are in there you can still talk to me and see everything around you."
" Where are we going to go?" Machate asked.
" Back to my temple. " she responded" Come on, they are waking up." She was right the shadow knights were slowly regaining their conscious.
" I give you permission to keep my soul." His body felt like a feather when it got absorbed.
" Where are we going?"
"We are going to my home village Transmere."
" May I ask what your name is?" It took her some time to respond but she finally did.
" Zayne, it is Zayne. Now what is yours."
" My name is Machate of the Lucario family." Then Machate drifted into a deep sleep.
