Lazarus: Lightning WItch

Part 5: Nightbane

Silas fell to his feet the possession was over. 

" Hmph " Silas moaned 

Circe rushed to his side. 

" Are you ok?" She asked 

Circe deemed Silas and Sam worthy of being her friends and so her natural motherly personality begins to come out. Circe picked Silas up allowing him to lean on her as Sam leads them out of the mine. 

" What happened to the minotaur, " Cyrus asked 

"It's dead " Sam responded 

" How did you kill him " 

" Well Silas~~~ " Circe was interrupted 

" I made a stalagmite fall on its neck " Silas continued 

" My leg is bleeding " 

Cyrus snapped his fingers, one of the cloaked students stepped toward Silas weaving teal magic a female voice chanted 

" Traortia Caninuno " 

A tangled, sanguine rush of ripples surrounded Silas's leg mending the ripped skin. 

" Take these three to their rooms and we'll meet up at the spot " Cyrus spoke 

Three students grabbed hold of one of the trio's arms and teleported them away. Silas arrived at his room and went to sleep.

*Two hours later; around two am* 

Silas was woken up by the rocking of his bed, he sat right up summoning his ancestor's weapon 

" Who's there," Silas asked 

Cyrus came into view leaning sitting on the blue couch next to Silas's bed. 

" Cyrus, do you need som'n "Silas spoke 

" I went back to the mine and went over the minotaur's body and there were no large wounds on the beast so your story doesn't add up. But there were thin dagger-like cuts all over and the beast's every blood vessel was ripped open. " Cyrus spoke 

In one swift movement, Cyrus snatched the staff from Silas's hands

" The needles match the minotaur's cuts, care to explain " 

" No," Silas said 

He got up from his bed, which made Cyrus get up as well,  and pushed Cyrus toward his door. He grabbed his staff back, but before he could completely push him out of his room the wind around him picked up and sent him flying into a wall. 

" Scoori Avieos " Cyrus chanted 

A force green flash blinded Silas for a moment.

" What happened in the mine," Cyrus asked 

Without any choice, Silas divulged every aspect of what happened including the staff and the voice. The only thing he didn't tell him or couldn't tell him was the words he spoke to allow the demon within his body to take over it was like he forgot the word entirely. 

" I'm taking this you shouldn't have this " Cyrus spoke as he turned around 

An echoing  deep voice sounded in Silas's brain

" Don't let him take me "

Silas somehow was freed from the wind's hold, he quickly extended his left arm grabbing back his staff and with his right he allowed dirty teal magic to wrap around his arm as he blasted Cyrus out of the room.

The staff disappeared as Silas fell back to sleep this time his dream was an open space with a grey-skinned boy around Silas's height and build, the boy had deer style antlers growing from his temples and jet black eyes. 

The boy turned and began to speak 

" My name is Nightbane and~~ "
