Magic Bonds

Chapter 23: Time to Rise

Third POV

gєт тнєм!

An angel shouted in the distance. Anti should of known better than too show his true self, but in order to get Dark to wake up. He felt it was the only way. In a clutter of over bursting energy quickly angels forced themselves to the surface of the vessels, and so did the demons. Quickly flutters of feathers, and dark sludge began to scatter in the air turning the ground to what was once concrete into a war stained mural. 

It was hard to tell who was on what side, but one thing was for sure. Not everyone wanted Anti dead. Some demon's were fighting to protect Anti as well as some angel's. The only way it would make sense for demon's and angel's to team up was if they were once knew Anti's parents, or were possibly tired of they tyrant's rule. Not all angel's were equal as they were made out to be. In fact some of the angel's of the court were much worse than Dracul themselves.

In the midst of the fighting Dark finally accepted Mark allowing them to become one as they should be. Mark's skin became its normal color while his body stayed the same, elongated fangs that now matched the rest of his teeth becoming sharp his eyes were black with red pupils. But his wings were what made him beautiful. Instead of being black flames they were red tinted with the ends burning in a bright red. Many stop to bask in the amount of power Mark had control of as he levitated off of the ground.

As fast as people were amused in his beauty it quickly changed to horror as he sped through the crowd so fast it was almost impossible to see. He quickly grabbed Anti holding him close before teleporting away from the fight. It wasn't long before their parents quickly joined them as well as their friends, and allies. Together in the garden Mark's mother tended too Mark stood on top of the vine infested canopy that adorned the gardens entrance staring down at everyone. One of Mark's eyes turned to its normal color as he spoke showing him and Dark were both deciding what to do next.

Mark's Pov

You're not too bad after all. 

Tell me something I don't know.

I chuckled at Dark's cocky remark before addressing the people before me still holding my lover in my arms. Because of Dark and I talking at once our voice was distorted, but understandable.

"I understand the shock you see in my arms. And I know by the looks gathered hear we all know how this happened. Elena and Cohan were great people, but because of current  circumstances of how things are ruled their relationship was deemed as unnatural. Obviously we were upset that despite the hate they received they still conceived their child. And quickly after Anti's birth assassins from both sides made their move under their rulers orders. My father, and his friends hid Anti away since Cohan brought him to us. I personally did not get in contact with Anti until My parents were killed trying to protect him. I was the only one who helped him hide besides everyone else here who pretended he had died that day. I played the part of the orphan boy who just tried to move on with life." I took a deep breath before continuing as myself.

"I am now able to be a actual member of the Dark mage society. And I give to you my people, and allies of Light my promise to protect our new found hope of being all equal. I may not be the most experienced man in this like my father, but I plan to work hard to save us all from this tyrant rain. I do not expect you all to follow me, or even consider us leader." Dark smiled hearing me consider him as a person instead of the monster he was even if he tortured Mark for a long time. "I have come to terms with my inner battles, and from this point on provide you my strength." I say as I gently set Anti down who was sharing Jack's body as they stared in awe at the people even bothering to listen. I kneel down on one knee before my people. "I Mark Edward Fischbach deem myself worthy of leading everyone into a new time as well as peace."

Third POV

The crowd was quite not even the wildlife spoke at this time. Tears were being shed throughout the crowd both proud and sad to understand what was currently going to happen. Many possibly all of them could die, but was it worth risking their lives for a child they did not bare? Or even thought was possible? Did the Light mages even trust the son of a Dark council leader?

Slowly one by one got on one knee to bow their heads, and hold their hands over their hearts. Even Felix, Cry, and some of the Light council bowed their heads to Mark.

A new time was coming. One of anguish, and possible destruction. But within it held strength, love, trust, and a hope for peace. 

Mark stood tall tears lightly falling mixed with the black tears of Dark's. Both of them were extremely grateful at the site before them. Everyone wanted to protect their loved ones, and even someone that they barely knew. Mark turned his head to see Anti and Jack bowing to him as well. He gave them a sweet smile before picking them up onto their feet.

"We rule as one, no longer are we too be separated by our backgrounds or the contracts we share with another being. Together we become one society. Together with our Magic Bonds we ready ourselves for battle. We are all family now from here on. We are Hope." Mark says loud and proud his voice becoming distorted to show Dark also agreed with this. It wasn't long before distorted cries of agreement rang through the crowd as Mark held Jack close to him. Everyone embraced their differences as others began to fly into the garden to join their rally of hope. It was time for change. And the time is now.
