Weight of Magic: Dreams become Destiny

Death due us part

Jia plays on her phone, killing time. Her coffee tastes bitter. She sighs.

The major demons watch over the army of minor demons. Mind-wiped with Murphy's new serum. Murphy was demon of poison, but she was smart. Had become the head science demon. Madness screeches with delight. "Okay! So, today will be a practice attack on the gods and/or godslayers. It will not be planned out. We want to see how you fight." Revenge announced. He loved war and bloodshed of any kind. There was a plentiful amount of God Slayers at the school. And by plentiful, this meant a good 50, may be even 75. Some were twins, sharing their powers, others were only children.

Niko looked at Pippen and Nico. They nodded at each other. Most minor demons made teams like this. They were mind wiped, but connections between them are still alive. Niko and Jia's connection had been broken by Niko instinctively shooting her with depression. "ALRIGHTY, LET THE ATTACK COMMENCE!" The head demons chorused. One by one, the demons teleported away. The head demons teleported high above the clouds, watching their recruits closely. Every demon member wore a hood covering their face and body. They infiltrated the school. Any Mage who wasn't a God-Slayer was bubbled by Murphy as they attacked. Jia barely noticed people begin to disappear from around her. The crowds thinned. Then she heard the evacuation bells. She immediately powered her phone off and shoved it in her pocket. The last remains of her bitter coffee spilled on the table as she ran down the stairs beside the Elevator.

Niko and Nico were a quirky pair. Nicotine and Depression. Pippen used a whip tied into the shape of a noose to lasso around necks and choke. Nico had a cigarette sticking out of his mouth and he puffed smoke every little while. Nico fought with smoke. It was a good shroud of invisibility and he used a small dagger to pierce skin. Niko still fought with a trusty scythe, but he now sported a cursed scythe. Runes ran up and down the black rod and he could create illusions with it.

Surprisingly, Lyra was there to greet Jia when she ran out the doors. "LYRA?!" Jia said in panic. Lyra laughed a little. "Long story short, I saw this last night in one of my time dreams." She said, pulling her lose bangs into a hair clip. She pulled a small knob on her glasses and they shrunk into a small contact holder. Lyra put the contacts in and blinked. "Gah." She made a sound of confusion for a moment. "Well ok." Jia nodded. Lyra summoned her Scythe. Niko twisted his scythe in his hand. He was one of the top ranked fighters in the army.

Niko giggled as he floated along. He created an illusion of something someone loved. The thing that kept depression away. It wasn't a holographic illusion either. You could feel it. Touch it. Then he killed them. Easy. Simple. "They are attacking for us." Lyra said. Jia furrowed her eyebrows together. "God Slayers." Lyra said. Jia's eyes widened. She knew there was a good amount of God Slayers in the school, but she didn't know that someone or some group was attacking for them.

Niko had killed a handful of God-slayers that had went out to meet them. Nico, Niko and Pippen was the highest ranked team in training, and still were now.

"God form?" Lyra asked. Jia nodded. The two's clothing changed. That's when portals began opening, and beings began to come out. Jia could just see it. She saw the shadow of a few Gods, including her mom, and Hecate. Lyra saw her father, a time god, appear along with the appearing gods. She nodded. Her God form was different then Jia's. A T-Shirt dress that was black, with clock designs etched on the bottom. She wore a pair of black flats along with it. The major demons grinned. "Ah, gods." Death said with a smile. New trainees were fighting too. It was part of initiation for this year. Niko, Nico and Pippen shared a look. Nico cast a smoke fog around the whole area. Niko shot through the air, creating illusions as he went. Pippen choked and pained people.

A healing Goddess was amongst the group of major gods. She began to heal those who were hurt, and the killed ones, she sent away in bubbles. Though Niko had thought he killed many, God Slayers were quite tough. Although Jia had almost died, several times, she couldn't truly exactly die yet. Only a good five or seven were actually dead. The rest were healed up. Aini lines shot from Jia's eye sockets, it wasn't normal. This only happened because of what happened yesterday. Lyra's golden Aini lines were finally visible. Niko, Nico and Pippen all had tattoos now. Did I mention that? It's to make their magic and curses more potent.
