The Magician's Secret (boyxboy)

Chapter 9

Areon p.o.v.

Have you ever had a fireball thrown at your head? It's not fun, trust me. The fire would have burnt my face off if I didn't dodge it on time. The next couple of could have burned me death and they weren't fun to dodge either.

"Look out," Astor screams, pushing me away from another fireball. The two of us land behind one of the couches as fireballs keep getting thrown around us. "You had to try and kill him."

I scowl at him, "He's one of the most wanted criminals, sorry that I wanted to kill him before he kills me." As soon as I walked into the room, I got a vision of what the beast actually looks like. On the outside, he looked like a hot bad boy with the leather jacket, the piercings, the tattoos, and the scruffy beard, but on the inside, he's an evil monster. His head is a black wolf head with ram horns. The top of his body is human, but it's full of fur all over and is buff like a body builder. His arms are huge and instead of fingernails, his hands have metal talons. The bottom of his body is a giant scaly tail like a snake, with a stinger at the bottom like a bee. He also has wings on his back to help him fly.

Another fireball hits us and it blows up the couch we are hiding behind. The beast looks at us with the same smirk that I want to wipe off. I know he's only toying with us till he gets bored. He's powerful and I can sense it.

"Muerkato" I scream, shooting out the killing curse from my wand.

He catches the curse in his hand again and rolls his eyes. "Is that the best you can do?"

I smirk. "Incendio," the spell goes right to the curse he is holding and it blows up. There is a bunch of green smoke that appears, causing him to cough. His eyes turn a little pink as he coughs and tries to rub his face. I then cast a spell that with my hands that throw him back and hit the back wall.

I then cast the electricity spell that Nero taught me and direct it at the beast. He lifts up from my spell as I electrocute him. He spasms a little bit but doesn't die. I stop the spell and he falls down on the ground and groans. He squirms on the ground a bit but doesn't get up.

I pull out my wand and says "muerkato" the curse blast directly at him and he stops moving and making a noise. I sigh in relief before looking back at the others. Astor smiles and gives me a thumbs up as Aragon, in wolf form, still stands protectively over the prince. "We're go--," I choke on my last sentence as I feel a force choke my neck. I try to grab the force, but there's nothing there.

Worry fills Aragon and Astor as they look at me, then their eyes go wide as they look behind me. I turn and I feel all the blood drain out of my face. The beast is standing there with his hands in a choke hold as his body heals all his wounds. He still has scorch marks and dust all over his clothes and hair.

"I have to give you props kid. Nobody in my three hundred years of life has ever been able to hurt me this badly." I fall to my knees in front of him as the oxygen doesn't get into my body. "Maybe if you actually knew how to use that spell, I would have been out for weeks." I put my hands on the ground, looking at his shoes, as I feel myself almost black out. Then the beast sighs, "As much as I want to kill you, though, I know Dara would torture me if I did."

The pressure on my neck disappear and oxygen reenters my body. I wheeze in the air and then cough while rubbing my throat. Geez, that was scary.

"You know Dara," I hear Raphael ask. I look up at the beast and I see a fond smile appear on his face. The beast then disappears and I feel a gush of wind hit my face. I look back at Raphael and I see he's now standing with one the beast's arm around his waist and the other holding his hand. Aragon and Astor growl at the guy, but he doesn't seem to pay attention.
