The Girl Named Sapphire: The Sorcerer's Return (Book 2)

Part one: Return

 Water dripped off of Sapphire's hand, only more of her arm was thawed out of the ice. She looked down at her arm. She cracked her fingers, then looked back at the frozen sorcerer. She closed  her eyes, the shot them open, clenching her fist. The ice around her shattered, releasing her and the sorcerer.

Sapphire was shot against a wall, bashing her back against wall of the hole under the school. Before she fell she grabbed a hold of a pipe that stuck out of the wall. Her skin was pale with a blue and purple tint to it. She shivered as the water ran off of her.

The sorcerer stood tall from the ice that still remained.

"Nice of you to release me." The sorcerer said.

"The seal was breaking any way, if I held it any longer it would have began to suck energy out of me, and that energy loss would be permanent." Sapphire responded shivering.

"But you're still to weak to hold your own weight, so if I want you out of my way, I'll have to kill you now." The sorcerer smirked.

"You and I both know you won't." Sapphire grunted holding her stomach in pain.

The sorcerer gathered a ball of stank and threw it towards Sapphire. Sapphire put her arm up to block her eyes from the attack, she didn't want to see her possible death.

Out of no where someone or something blocked the attack. A man stood tall with thick purple hair, and a long light purple cape hanging off of his shoulders. He held a sword to his side, shaking the remains of the stank off of it.

"If you're going to die this early in your return, you've already failed." The man turned around to face Sapphire.

"Itachi." Sapphire couldn't believe her eyes.

"His strength isn't at its peak yet, I'll get you out of here. I'll return you to the Elders." Itachi jumped over the ledge of the little island grabbing onto the wall to grab Sapphire.

Itachi stabbed his sword into the wall. He grabbed a small ball with a stick sticking out of it.  He clenched the stick in between his teeth and yanked it out. He threw it towards the sorcerer and smoke filled the area when the ball landed.

Itachi grabbed his sword out of the wall and escaped the seal with Sapphire in his arms.

Itachi ran into the Elder hall.

"Itachi, did you take care of that energy spike?" Lord Haru asked.

"Yeah, and I brought back a present." Itachi responded revealing Sapphire.

"Well, well; do my eyes deceive me?" Lord Raiden walked in front of Lord Haru. "The legendary Sapphire."

Lord Haru ran out to greet Itachi and Sapphire. He took Sapphire from Itachi's hands and walked her up to the other Elders.

"Raiden, get Kirito. Her skin is blue, and she's cold as ice." Lord Saito said putting his hand on her forehead.

Lord Raiden walked back to find Kirito. He returned with a blanket and pillow. Lord Raiden took Sapphire and put her in his Elder throne. He wrapped her in the blanket, and rested her head on the pillow.

Kirito came out of the back room. He walked up to Sapphire.

"Ma'dam Sapphire, welcome back." Kirito smiled.

 "Lord Haru!" Someone burst through the doors of the hall. A man with white hair bowed to the elders. "Demons, in Avon, they've gone rouge."

"Allen?" Sapphire whispered trying to turn her head to look at Allen.

"Sapphire? You're back!" Allen smiled. "It's been a while, three years right?"

Sapphire weakly nodded.
