Absolute Control

The Sorcerers' Apprentice

Kyle

It's been days since we started learning to master our magic from Darius. I can now perform basic and intermediate defensive, manipulating and combative spells. With my seal on, I still can't perfect advance magic but as Darius said, when my seal is released my magical affinity is boundless. Today I'm trying a blink spell, it's a basic teleportation spell which will transport you to a short distance. "Okay, I need to focus my energy to where I'm at and to where I want to go." I whispered to my self. I heard someone whisper to me a different spell. "Jıpılıqtaw." And within the last second, I pictured a picture of the beach, a memory from my childhood. When I opened my eyes, I saw my body is engulfed with blue light and a series of runic laces surrounded my body. "Kyle, what the hell did you just do?" Darius burst into the room. "I dunno Darius I..."

With a flash, I'm on a beach. "Wait, is this Hawaii?" I asked myself. "Aloha, Kyle. It seems you received our message." A woman's voice said, I turned around and she looks so familiar. "Clara?" I asked her. "Hi, Gjarpri zjarri." And a fiery serpent shoot from her hand. "Dridhem!" I screamed and I teleported within the forest. "I need to get out of here, I need to remember that spell I used to get my ass in this place." I whispered to my self, as I concentrate another fiery serpent shoot out of nowhere. I rolled sidewards to dodge and casted the flicker spell again. Now, I'm under a giant rock, I heard someone running around trying to find me. "Little Kylie, I can sense you. Come out come out wherever you are." Clara said. I took a deep breath and prepare to attack, there's no other way for me to escape this but, fight my way out. I ran out of the rocks cover and quickly casted a spell towards Clara. "Boltu astrale!" I shout at the top of my lungs and a bolt of cosmic energy shoot out of my hand which, sent Clara flying. I immediately go up from the slope and find Clara struggling to get up. Suddenly, I remembered the spell I used to teleport all the way here.
"Jıpılıqtaw." I whispered and the same light engulfed me, I know that this spell has a few seconds delay. With my bad luck, Clara is already on her feet looking pissed. "You bitch, you broke my bone! Die you little bitch!" She screamed and a barrage of fiery snakes shoot out from her body. I reacted quickly and casted a counter spell "Reflectum majika." I casted and a mirror of pure mana absorbed and reflect her attack and enhanced it. I prayed that the teleportation spell would transort me before Clara was engulfed by the roaring blue flame but, it didn't. I saw Clara screamed in pain as she burn in her own flame, and as I witnessed the horror I am trasported back into our room.

I sat there on the floor as I cried hard, I committed murder. That's all that's running inside my head. "What the hell Kyle, where have you fucking been?!" Darius screamed at me, I looked at him in tears. "I killed Clara." Was all I said. "You did what?" Dylan asked me. "I... she was one of them, they planned this. They somehow find a way to connect with me and cast a spell to be teleported out of here." I started to tell them. "When I arrived there, Clara, Clara Santos was there and, she started attacking me. I tried to escape without hurting her but, I had no choice but to fight my way out. I knocked her down and remembered the spell thay brought me there, when the spell is taking place because, it has a few minutes delay. Uhm she attacked me with powerful fire magic, I... I casted a defensive spell and her attack backfired at her and... and... I killed her." I sobbed harder when I finished, I murdered someone and I feel so sick of myself. Dylan rushed to my side and hugged me tight. "It's okay baby, you didn't had a choice." He comforted me. "She was ready to kill you and ready to die, if you didn't faught back, I'll... we'll lose you." He cupped my face and look me in the eye. "We are on war, they want you dead, this is our reality Kyle. If we won't fight we will all die." He explained. "We need to fight, we need to fight them so no more innocent lives will be taken." I relaxed in his arms and I feel my eyelids getting heavy and within a split second, I started losing consciousness.
