Circe was the first to fully transform, she chose a cobra to transform into, her skin turned to scales, she grew fangs as her arms and legs merged together to form a six and a half foot long snake.
Sam was next, black fur as dark as the night sky and grey fur forced itself out of every pore, his back hunched, his eyes turned a gold color as his teeth sharpened and turned to gold as well
Silas fell out of his transformation returning to normal. Behind Cyrus, another cloaked student spoke
" Look at his eyes they match yours "
Cyrus looked closely and found that the student was right Silas's eye color matched that of his own a heavenly gold color.
" So gold is a natural eye color in the magical community " Cyrus interjected
" Not that shade, those are the eyes of the Shadow family, wasn't your father "
Cyrus interrupted the girl with his anger causing the winds to pick up speed
" We're not related I'm a Batt and that's final "
" Can we leave now " Circe voiced
" No one more challenge " Cyrus continued
" Follow us "
Cyrus began to lead the group into the surrounding forest until they reached an abandoned mine opening.
" Inside you have to defeat the creature that lives inside without using magic. "
A cloaked student summoned a chest and when he opened it he revealed about a dozen swords.
" Pick one and head into the mine " Cyrus ordered
"I don't need one thanks " Silas smirked
Silas was the first to enter the mine, it was cold, dark, and damp tiny drops of water splattered against the floor. As the trio dived deeper into the mine they began to hear scraping against the walls.
" Rrrrraaaaahhhhhh "
" What was that " Sam spoke
" The minotaur " Circe responded
Silas threw his right hand to his side, this action summoned his ancestor's staff
" What's that " Circe asks
" One of my Ancestor's weapons " Silas spoke
Before anyone could say anything Silas rushed forward entering a maze looking stone pathway. He walked through the maze until he reached a large opening where human and nonhuman bones lay scattered around. A large rock sat in the corner, on the rock slept a large hulking bulky minotaur. Silas crept toward the beast making sure not to step on the thing that could make a noise.
"This will be quick" Silas thought
That is until Circe and Sam came running into the opening screaming his name.
" Silas, Silas "
" Sssshhhh " Silas muttered
But it was too late the beast heard the screams and began to stir
" Damn it, guys I could have finished this already, draw your weapons " Silas spoke
Silas tightened his grip onto his ancestor's staff as he places it against his lower back in between his right arm and ribcage.
" Rrraaahhhh " The minotaur roared
The beast ground the earth under him as he charged forward knocking Silas into a nearby wall. Circe ran to Silas's side standing guard against the beast as Sam charged forward swinging his sword like a pro.
Silas used his staff to slowly get back up on his feet. he had a large spiraling cut on his leg.
" Fuck " Silas cursed
Silas readied his battle stance, charged forward poised to attack. Circe rushed behind him her blade pointed at the beast. Distracccccccccccccccczcted by Sam the minotaur didn't notice Silas coming. Silas grounded his ancestor's staff using it to fling himself into the minotaur's eye.
Half blinded the minotaur stumbled around the opening thrashing into walls. The beast grabs hold of Sam slamming into the ground.
" Ahhhh " Sam yelped
Something in Silas snapped for he started to hear a voice deep in his subconscious
" Let me lose "
Without thinking Silas gave his body over to the mysterious voice with four wors he didn't know he knew
" Shadow Art, demon possession "
Silas's voice echoed and deepened as he taughts the minotaur
" He bullhead let's dance "
Silas jumped into the air, he stayed air-born almost as if he was standing on something. He swung his staff into the minotaur, using the golden sun spikes as thin daggers that stabbed and clawed at the beast.
" Hahaha " Silas chuckled
The minotaur clawed at Silas's floating body. Silas spun behind the creature and fired a midnight black bolt of demonic energy.
The bolt surged through the minotaur's body ripping open all of its blood vessels essentially drowning it with its own blood
