Dark Magic #1

Chapter 17 - Warnings

The sun was barely over the horizon when we were already out in the woods heading to towards the Guardian Mountain. We decided that the faster we get on the road the better. The journey would take us about two days to get there if we walk on a slow pace. If you wondered about what we are doing with Sebastian, well Alex came up with an idea to create a potion to knock him out for a couple of hours. Alex learnt of the tranquil potion when he was living with an alchemist foster family which was before he was recruited by the darklings for his brilliance in potion making. My heart went out to him when he told us that his mother dropped him off at the orphanage right after he was born. What type of mother does that to her child? No wonder he landed up in the darklings clutches. After Alex created the potion, we gave Sebastian a drop of it after he scowled and insulted me a bit. Whoever this demon is, I was on the verge of slapping him that his sweat would scream from the pain.

The journey was on a great start luckily we had a one eyed giant that was protecting us from all the dangerous things within the dark woods. Igna met up with us at the edge of the woods along with a horse. A big white horse with a main so fine that I bet that was Sebastian's twin but in animal form. Igna was the only friend I met along the way and plus I owe him my life since he was the one who fully awakened my powers which I will be eternally grateful for. As we walked through the woods, we all had our buddy that we walked with in order to talk on this long journey. In front was Igna and Eric who were joking around like they have known each other since preschool. After them was Ava and Merlin who were in one deep conversation that I wanted to hear about but something inside me said I should rather stay out it. Then there is me and Alex walking with the horse that was carrying Sebastian like a limp sack of potatoes. The one good thing about this trip was that I was back in my own clothes. Thank you Merlin for teleporting my bag to me! I was now back in my own white tank top, black waist coat, dark blue jeans and my favourite black boots. Alex on the other hand was dressed in his usual black attire. I wondered if those clothes isn't making him feeling hot under there. Black doesn't really work with exercise and sun.

"So, tell me about your friend?" Alex asked nudging towards Sebastian.

"He is the sweetest man you will ever meet" I said watching the few sun glares shine on his face making him more handsome than he already is.

"Is that so, how long have you known him?" He asked

"We met when we were in preschool and have been friends ever since. He is the most straight forward person you will ever meet, trust me. He is not shy to tell you exactly what he thinks of you but in the end he has one massive heart." I said looking at Alex. Something caught my eye as I was looking at him. He was staring at Sebastian out the corner of his eye and the look I saw within his eyes told me he was actually fishing about Sebastian.

"He sounds like a great guy. How long have you two been dating?" As Alex asked that I couldn't keep my laugh in. It came from stomach and made everything hurt as I laughed myself to death over what he just said.

"Him? Me? Trust me I am nowhere near his type let alone his gender of interest" I said whilst laughing a little bit more.

"Now I feel like a total asshole!" Alex said turning completely red in the face from the mistake he just made.

"Before we go on with the twenty question game, may I ask you a personal question?" I asked turning towards him.

"Sure"

"How long have you known you are...?" I asked.

He had a big grin on his face, making me think I asked the right question.

"Since I was small but have never been able to find the right person to bring it out of me. That was until I saw him this morning." He said turning his gaze to Sebastian.
