Dark Mage

Chapter 3

Brian P.O.V

'We need you to come over as soon as you can sir'

"I'll be there in 30 minutes, tops", I said over the receiver as I hung up.

Really, really Marcus, not even for a day. You can't take care of yourself even for one day. Grabbing my car keys and my wallet I headed out to the hospital. Fuck, my little brother just ruined my day. I pulled out a joint from the cabinet and set it alight just by thought. It burned perfectly, now for some music. I plugged my iphone into the radio and played some old school hip-hop.

Driving always cleared my mind, smoking weed while driving is illegal but still, it clears my mind even more, making me think. The people that called hadn't told me what had happened to him. Thoughts came crushing into my head. Maybe a accident during the tournament? Maybe he is just sick, but why would they want me to come over now?

Ashing my joint, I threw it out the window and hit the accelerator hard. Swerving through L.A traffic wasn't easy but I managed to do it. After 15 min of reckless driving I pulled into the hospital parking lot, found a nearby parking space and bounded into the hospital. Rushing to the reception I bumped into a nurse toppling all that she was carrying. "Hey watch where you going honey,"she said rather annoyed.

"Im really sorry," I replied picking up her things quickly. I then reached the reception to find a beautiful lady standing behind the large desk. I was awestruck, never in my life had I seen someone so beautiful. "How may I help you sir?", she asked.

"Um I'm uh looking for my little brother, Marcus. He was admitted today, would you happen to know which room he's in?"

"Yeah sure, let me check,"she replied turning to her laptop to locate Marcus.

Her eyes were dark green with layers of gold entwined in them. Her long hair was light brown with the tips dyed with a shade of medium blonde and her body was absolutely perfect, all the curves were in the right places. The nurse outfit she had on fitted her like a glove revealing a gorgeous pair of b-

"215," she cut me off, "Marcus Venom, age 17, room 215," she said looking up flashing me a dentist smile. "Its just up the third floor second room to your left", she continued.

"Thanks very much uhh, Natalie," I said squinting at her name badge. "By the way I'm Brian", I rambled on.

"Nice meeting you Brian," she responded smiling. "Right back at you," I replied rushing to the elevator. Lucky for me it was empty. I got off on the third floor and headed to the second room on my left. Stoping to take a deep breath before I entered. Walking into the room I noticed that it was considerately dark, so I switched on the light and immediately I was at a loss of words. "Uncle Zackius, is that you?" I said to a figure sitting beside an occupied hospital bed.

"Brian," the man said turning around, "it's been a long time."

What, this must've been a dream I hadn't seen this guy in ten freaking years. He still looked good for his mystical age.

"So it is you," I said as he stood up to give me a hug. "What happened to him," I asked.

His face turned pale immediately. "He- he's been poisoned, " he said wearily.

"What? Who the hell would want to do such a thing?"

"Its worse than that Brian. The poison has burned away evey single ounce of white magic from his body and spirit. He is now a dark mage. Brian, he has become just like his father."

I walked over to the figure laying on the bed and slowly pulled off the cover revealing his face. Marcus was still, pale and heat surged through his body immensely, I could feel his aura radiating wildly, sending distress signals.
His jet black hair had turned into a silvery grey shade and he occasionally moved his eyes add If he was looking for something in his sleep.

"How long is he going to be like this?"

"He should be waking up in an hours time," Zackius responded.

"What was it?" Who was it? Why him?",asked my uncle dryly.

He looked at me for a second them responded,"Regal Blue poison, I don't know who it was but he was poisoned probably because of his potential. Marcus was strong before, but now that his brain only has one type of magic to deal with he's become even stronger. Much stronger. He'll out do your father's strength in a years time tops."

"Fuck. Power, they poisoned him for power, desperate people disgust me."
As soon as I had finished my curses, my parents teleported into the room

"How my baby?", my mom asked rushing towards the bed. My dad however walked over to Zackius to give him a hug. "It's been a while brother," my dad said shortly.

"Yes it has, it's unfortunate that we had to meet under such circumstances," Zackius replied.

My mother hugged and kissed my uncle on the cheek, " For a brother inlaw you sure know how to disappear, its been ten year's Zackius, and you still haven't aged a bit."

"It's good to see you too Ellis, sorry for disappearing though," he said as a smile tugged at his lips.

The reunion came to end as a groan followed by professional foul language escaped the bed sheets. The four of us looked at each other. In turned to my uncle and questioned, " I thought you said it would take an hour",

"Everybody makes mistakes," he defended himself.

"Marcus," my dad said, " welcome back to earth my boy. Brian, get me a bucket of ice"

"As you say sir."
