Elemental Magic (Discontinued)

Chapter 18- Lost

The souls all started to unleash a flurry of strikes on me but I couldn't even see were they were coming from. I take attack after attack but it's no use, I can't find an opening in there attacks, they keep coming from all angles even from below me. I need help, so I attempt a spell I've seen Hope do but I haven't had much practice with, "Warmth of Heart" the flame bursts from my chest and starts to twist around my body then branch off of me toward the crowd, the spell does not usually do this but I'm forcing it to reach to others so that they can release them from the fear of animabus pereunt. I can feel the spell resisting me trying to stop each time I'm hit, but I force it to keep going. I need help if we're going to make it out of this alive.

One of the Animarum sees what I'm protecting and makes a move toward them, seeing this I move one of the branches through it. The Animarum stops as if frozen then bursts into light and gets suck into the labyrinth walls, this turns all the attention back to me, I start stabbing them with the branches of flame and one by one they get sucked up by the walls till there's nothing left of them.

Everyone gets up from their shock and stares at me as I pant and struggle to stay up right. I hear whispers from everyone "he destroyed them all?" "how come he wasn't affected?" "we're still alive?" "did I record walking dead last night?" I wasn't sure if I heard that last one right, but you get the point they we're all looking right at me and even I was wondering how did I do it, how am I alive.

"Andrew?" Jessie walks out of the crowd holding The Sword of Dawn by the scabbard and I pass out.

I wake up to the taste of jerky in my mouth and Jessie over me "you need to be more careful you jerk, bending spells to be used how they're not suppose to be, that's dangerous and beyond stupid" she hugs me which sends a jolt through my body.

"Sorry, I didn't really have a choice" I gasp 

"I don't care, no more bending spells" she gets up then picks me up by the arm "everyone, we are going back up to the surface so that no one else is put in danger like that" 

"Jessie you are not in charge here, I am and I say we should be fine, Andrew doesn't feel the darkness like us so he isn't pulled or affected by it, we can use this to our advantage and free the second floor from the darkness just like the first." Chris explains 

"Do you not remember the how the first was freed from the darkness? A lot more people might have been here if their lives weren't cut short in that battle" I can see tears forming around her eyes.

"Chris, I'm not sure I'm in the best condition for another battle, I used a good deal of my power to use that spell, maybe we should come back when we are more prepared" I mention to him

He looks at me, but something is not right about the look in his eyes. "Fine, we will come back another time, but I'm holding your word. We will be back" and with that he turns and leaves.
