[Aspiration to the Heavens Spin-off Vol. 1] Heart of Magic (Completed)

Episode 71: Escape (Basil)

The bars of the cell shattered from the sheer cold as the handcuffs fell off of my hands.

Thalia was too stupid to suspect that I would've taken them off while no one was watching.

She stared in awe as the ice covered the entire dungeon.

"Damn," she said as dark tendrils flew toward me. 

I sliced the darkness and headed for the stares.

My side ached as I reached for the door.

That girl hadn't healed me completely.

So perhaps they weren't complete idiots.

"Brother!" Sister roared as shadows came at me before I could turn the knob. I formed a wall of ice, and reflected the spell back at her.

A pool of crimson blood formed when she once stood.

Her body laid still.

"You should've let me go, fool," I said, raising my hood over my face.

I ran off from there, quick and as agile as the wind itself.

No one seemed to notice, at least until a scream came from the dungeon.

"Hope that you make it, sister."
