The Forgotten Soul

10

My heart sped up and so did my anger. I turn to look at Maxine. She smirked at me showing off her two henchmen who spiralled above her in the air.

"I told you to not lose and a tie is not a win. This is all your fault. All you had to do was show who you really are," she turned towards me a smirk on her face. “Just do a little magic so everyone can know that you're a liar.”

 That's what this is about?

"What about DC then? Why was he attacked," I say, pissed. She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, one of her dragons heading to attack the headmaster who was trying to control the situation. The headmaster ran back to safety since his magic couldn't neutralize the dark magic which in itself was problematic. Luckily the other students had the barrier protecting them.

They'd need it.

"I can't always control this magic and he made the wrong choice in choosing you. He chose to be around misfits and liars rather than be with me. I'm the one who has power. I'm the one who is fit to rule this land forever,” she yells, as if she was exalted.

My anger was boiling over and I couldn't help it as the sky got darker, way too dark considering it was high noon. Thunder boomed and lightning crackled taking out the power to the field. Only the dragons could be seen by now. Suddenly my hands grew hot but not hot enough to subdue my anger. I watched as I raised my two palms up to the universe and let the heat from my core become visibly magnified. Water from the air formed a funnel around the fire and the sharpest shards on the earth rose and all took aim at Maxine. Her eyes grew big and her dragons roared.

"You think this is enough to beat me," she says over the wind and the light rain. Her demeanor accepted the challenge but the gleam in her eye showed fear which was all I needed her to feel right now. She targeted me, my best friends, people who were innocent in their intentions and endeavors and worst of all, she targeted DC.

And that's when it happened. Suddenly there were nineteen more of me, all wielding the same attack, all circled around Maxine, all aiming at her.

"What the hell is this," she says her eyes wide as she tried to make sense of the situation. Long story short, she was going to lose bad. I smirk as all of me sent our attacks towards her. Some aimed at her, many aimed at the dragon. All of us hit our target. We knew she was out cold so I stopped my spell and there was only one Anani. The biggest threat was over.

  Unfortunately I couldn't control my anger, the magic still being magnified from it. Rain poured to where it was louder than DC's voice which was calling out to me. I stood completely still in the storm. I had made a hurricane and it'll only stop once we got to the eye. It's been pouring for ten straight without wanting to let up and don't think it will anytime soon so I cry. I cry out loud because I could feel the water affinity users trying to control the rain but it only obeyed me and my tears weren't helping the situation. I couldn't see an inch in front of me but I could hear DC clearer now. I still cried but i tried to keep it down so he wouldn't find me. This is why I don't want to use magic. My emotions get the best of it and even I can't control it. The best I could do right now was sleep but I wasn't physically tired. Emotionally drained, yes, but that's about it. I knew I was in trouble because not only did I show my three affinities, I used an ancient and a forgotten magic as well.

I used spirit magic.

There hasn't been a spirit affinity holder since Orion Soul, the founder of Tian, of all the kingdoms and his descendants, queens and kings of the Northern Kingdom. My bloodline was the most powerful and I couldn't help it. No one was capable of teaching me how to accept and control this powerful magic. Everyone that was family is dead, so now I'm all alone.
