The Beast Within

Chapter 6: The Existence of Magic

*Xylo’s POV*

This morning started off strange for me, I woke up exactly in the same spot I was in before but my surroundings were deffinetely different. It looked like the place was under attack and yet I was left unharm. The only thing that was hurting was my head. I can hear my head just punding non-stop. I got and looked around, a thought came across my mind: Is Rae ok. I quickly looked around the tower trying to find her to see if she was ok. Then I went to the top of the tower at first I didn’t see her but then I heard one of the doors open behind me. I quickly spun around and saw Rae, first I sighed in relief knowing that she was ok. Then I started blushing real hard cause once I actually payed attentioned to her, her hair was down and wet. And she was wearing a black robe, ONLY!, a robe. Which tells me she just gotten out of the shower, and what made situation a little more akward is that it just hit me that Im not wearing a top and my pants are ripped up exposing my legs more. I can tell she was embarassed to becausse she blushed when I saw her wearing only wearing a black robe and me with my exposed abbs. Is it bad that I kind of want to howl now? We stood there just looking at each other trying to figure out to say. Until I spoke.

Xylo: “So….. How’s your day” I said akwardly

Rae: “Hot” she said almost lost in thoughts
Xylo: “What?”

Rae: “Th-The…. Shower it was umm… Hot” She said frantically

Xylo: “Oh ok” I said calmly

More akward silence

Xylo: “Ssssoooo what happened to the tower while I was asleep”

It was silent again but this time it was different, this time was serious.

Rae: “I’ll tell down stairs after I get dressed, just wait for me down there”

I nodded and went down stairs, just waiting for her. I couldn’t stop and think about our akward moment back there. It was deffinetely someting to remeber for, but for some odd reason I kind of wanted to get closer to her…. Why? 

TheGreenPhantom: “Seriously Xylo… You still haven’t figured it out yet”

Xylo: “Who said that!?”

TheGreenPhantom: “UUUHHH nobody, this is… all in your head” he cuckled nervously

Xylo: “Great first I’m confused about what I feel and now I’m hearing voices in my head” I said 

Few minutes went by until Rae finall walked down the steps and then towards me. When she looked at me I can tell that this conversation will be serious.

Rae: “Ok Xylo you might want to sit down for this”

Xylo: “Ok” I said then sat down on the couch

Xylo: “So what did happened here?”

Rae: “You did Xylo” she said in a neutural tone

Xylo: “What do mean?” I asked getting a little nervous

Rae: “Xylo last night you transformed but not into your usual werewolf form this time it was different. You looked different and you were out of control I was lucky enough the spell I used on you worked”

Xylo: “Did I hurt you?” I asked trying not to panic.

Rae: “Luckly no, I was able to turn you back before you were able to hurt”

Xylo: “Oh Thank the gods you’re ok”

Rae: “Xylo we need to start training you, and teach you how to control this new form you have as soon as possible or else what could’ve been could still happen”

I gave it some thougt for a little bit

Xylo: “You said I was out of control? Was I attacking randomly?”

Rae: “Yeah why?”

Xylo: “Well when people transforms into a werewolf for the first time, Pureblood or not, go wild becoming but savages. But next time they turn, they are able to control themselves. So maybe we’re dealing with a similar scenario.

Rae: “Maybe, but in any case you need to start training with your powers”

Xylo: “What do you mean?”

Rae: Well you’re a werewolf of Pack Haven, which means you have the powers of your ancestors. But you’re also part demon, which also means that you have the power of Hell on your side”

Xylo: “So does that mean I can cast spells like you?”

Rae: “Yes and no. Yes you can perform magic, but not exactly my magic?”

Xylo: “What do you mean?”

Rae: “There are different types of magic Xylo. There are so many different types of magic that there are some still not discovered yet. For example a druid uses nature magic to fight in battle, but for someone like me I use any type of magic that is Supernatural, like channeling some magic from Hell. The difference beteween me using it and you using it is that your connected and have endless supply of magic being poured into you whaere as I borrow as much as the magic will allow me. Any questions.”

Xylo: “Yeah, can you do magic without your sraff”

Rae: “Yes”

Xylo: “So why do you carry it around with you if you can perform the spell without it”

Rae: “ Well that’s the thing Xylo depending what spell your performing the spell can end up being too much for our bodies to handle so magical creatures like me who wish to cast a spell would imbude another object of which they choose with magic so it can take the strain in which we can not, It’s also why some magic users enchant their daily clothes or items so they are protected better from backlashes from their magic, like a ring or a bracelet.”

Xylo: “Oh ok I think I understand now”

Rae: “Good, then lets get started”

Xylo: “Now?”

Rae: “Yes now, the sooner I train you the safer everybody will be”

Xylo: “alrighty then, let’s go”

We walked in the middle of the woods until Rae stopped.

Rae: “Ok this seems like a good spot. We will sart of with simple but still strong magic and because of your heritage on both sides you wont need a staff to cast these spells since your body was basically made to do these spells”

Xylo: “Ok, what does it do”

Rae: “Basically it pushe your enemies far back. Here take this spell sheet, I want you to chant this and aim your hand toward that loose stump. Ok?”

I nodded, and then I have begun my training. I failed miserably the first time, I couldn’t even pronounce the encantation right the first seven times I tried. Once I failed to use the spell again Rae came up beside me and helped with the spell. She told me to relax then steadily read and focus on the words. She was holding my hand up to help me to aim better with the spell. After that I finally casted the spell, I balsted stomp out of view. Both us felt so excited that I finally casted the spell that we hugged each other. When we hugged my heart started to skip beats, I felt warm in my heart. I’ve always asked why I felt this way around her but I think I finally understand why I felt this way. But it also scared me.

Rae: “Come on Xylo let’s go celebrate our little victory” she said happily

Xylo: “Actually you go on a head. I’ll meet you at the tower later I’m gonna tak a stroll through the woods for a little bit ok”

Rae: “Ok… but don’t stay out for to long ok Puppy” she sounded a little sad

Xylo: “I won’t Princess” I said nervously

As she walked away I let out a little sigh. Because now that I know what I’m feeling what do I do, what do I do now since I figured out that I have fallen In love with Rae?
