Chapter 3
With out warning i lunged, full speed towards aengus, before any reaction, i punched, then grabbed him around the neck and threw the young boy to the opposite side of the fighting area, I watched as the boy fell to the floor, a grin on my face, then returned to my fighting position. The wizard shouted out, "Milord!" shortly after, Aengus stood, ignoring his elder, he looked at me,
"You taking it easy on me...?" I winked at him while i replied, "maybe...dont want to hurt the little geek do i?" He shruged still smiling, i then heard a sudden sharp click of his fingers before i was pulled into the ground, chains and staps holding me too my prison.
"see what i mean?" i muttered while struggling slightly, needed a way out, "fine, wanna play hard... i'll play hard" i retracted my winds, making the chains tighter, i lifted my hands, grabed the chains then forced my wings open, causing the chains to loosen around my body, I flew into the sky, i then dived at the boy, Aengus easily dodged my attack and as i moved away he engulfed me inside of a tube of fire, enough to burn and contain me, but not to kill me. I tried not to scream, i spoke,"And they wonder why we lost" I drew my wings closed around me, they protected me from the flames, i felt the feathers turn to metal, the only non-fighter abilities we had, our wings, they can absorb elements, well...mine at least can only do that. I watched as the feathers turned red, suddenly i attacked, placing my hand over Aengus' throat, slowly crushing it. He just looked at me, with facination in his eyes, i felt my grip loosen, he was muttering a chant under his breath, controling my body, then the vines came. Once i saw the vines, I unleashed the fire in my wings, i pushed Aengus away from me, i looked at him, "and you people wonder why fighters hate you..."
"You were the one who tried to strangle me... I was only returning the favor" he smiled softly, before lifting his hands prepared
"thats not what i mean, you people always have a smart move to counter a simple attack, fire, ice, earth ... all i have is my wings, speed and strenght... yet you still wonder!" I lunged once more, grabing him by the shirt and throwing him at the wall to my left, effectively creating a crater in the marble wall. The wizard once more gave input, "Milord!!! Are you... ?!"
in mid-sentence his voice vanishes. Aengus slowly stood muttering, "Damn that guy annoys me..." before looking back at me"And you despise us for using what we can... after all..." i felt the magic become more intense, coming in waves of intensity that almost ripped the air out of my lungs,
"Wouldn't you pick up a weapon in a fight... if that would save your life?" he asked, I was strugling for breath, "do you see me... ...picking up a weapon??" i answered as i fell to my knees, my wings closing around me once more before turing sliver."... If fighting an enemy, and a sword lay beside you... don't tell me you wouldn't pick it up in order to save your life..." he started walking towards me, slowly and very deliberately. I stood, my wings still around me, my knees shaking beneath me, i replied,
"Its against my honor... to use something that is not part of me to protect myself..." I opened my wings, "i will never use a man made weapon to kill my enemy...never..."
"So that's why you hate mages.... because we don't hold such honor... ...Because we use something that you think is not our own... " he grew silente before the intensity vanished and he said, "Attack me then."
I looked down at him, "huh?? you lost me at the attack me bit..."
whilst taking off his long dark grey cloak, revealing a white button-up shirt, tattered black trousers and bare feet that appeared to have never worn shoes, he spoke in a serious adult-like manner,
"I'll fight you... without any aid... no magic... To death if I must..." as his cloak droped to the floor. "mm...thats a first... but frankly " i fly to him, punching him in the gut, " i dont believe you... " Aengus doubled over, gasping but attacked me the next second with a side kick to my gut and a hook to my jaw. With reacting, i stood, i showed no sighs of pain as there where none. I looked at the young boy, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground,
"see the disagvantages now??" then i felt it, a ripple in the fabric of space and time, it tore though me and caused me to drop the boy, i turned to the sky, "you feel that?"
Coughing and breathing deeply he looked up at me, not speaking, just with this look on his face,
"that ripple... dont you feel it?? you've got the connection to magic... somethings coming..." i commented, someone so powerful, yet he was so stupid... "I blocked any connection I have to the magic around me... which is basically locking myself up in a box... so no. I can't feel anything." preparing his fighting stance again he added, "I'm only human now."
"well put it back on, it doesnt feel right..." He rolled his eyes at me, before he closed them, once they opened he muttered, "Don't know what he is... but I can sense him alright..."
"ha!! so im not going mad! ... ... dont know what he is??" "Not really... I can somewhat see him... but I can't figure out what he is... " he signed and turned, "If that's all..."
I had not stoped looking at the sky, i knew what i had felt was not right, yet no one else seemed to notice, then i saw it. A ball of fire falling though the sky. "umm...well explain the ball of fire in the sky, then i'll continue beating you up... " I looked closer, my winds spreading out, prepairing for flight, "im going to find out... " Aengus stopped, "Ball of fire?... FUCK! " He turned, hands outstretched toward the sky and the ball of fire, chanting so rapidly his lips were almost a blurr. Slowly the ball of fire lowered, and started dieing down. I looked at him, then back at the ball of fire, "theres ... theres someone in it... .... ....hey, use your power to bring him here, he could be hurt... " once more the cocky adolecent answered,
"What you think I'm doing, moron?! " The fire died and a small body was lowered to the ground at aengus's feet, who lowers to his knees... placed his hands over the body and healing the burns, the shreek that erupted from the small boy sent a shiver though my entire body, the burns reappear as the boy tried to move,
"Get yourself under control dammit..." Aengus yelled, once more the burns were gone, " Or I'll be healing you all night long..."
The boy looked at him, I almost fell forward, his eyes, one red, the other green, he was small, petit, but the power within him was amazing. His short sliver hair fell across his face as he spat venom words at our common foe "Dont touch me!"
"I'm not touching you, you idiot..." Aengus stood, picked up his oh-so-impressive cloak and placed it over his body,
"You vermin... you dare use the life force... i will make you pay..." He stood, his eyes completely lifeless, as he looked over his newly formed enemy, all Aengus did was roll his eyes as he muttered, "Get in queue... " before turning to leave, a slight growl emerged from the boy as the air around us grew warm, sparks start forming on this new players skin and the sand around his feet start to melt, he opened his hand to create a ball, and threw it towards our over cocky friend, shorching his jacket"Dont think you are better than me vermin... you have no idea what i am..." I wathced as the jacket mended itself,
"And you have no idea what i am... so just do yourself a favor and back off..." A grin formed on the boys face, something that spoke of pure evil, "you are nothing... you use the life force to do your work... if you needed to protect your self without it, you would die, you have no power, just the ablility to speak words... ha...word magic..."
"Think what you want... " Aengus shrugged, "I dont have to" He tilted his head, sightly confussed, "I read the life force, i can see it float off you like smoke" He then turned to me, "but he, the stronger one, he has none... why??"
"Because he's a fighter... if you can read the magic in the air... you should've been able to see that little thing easily enough"
"mmm " he walked towards he, "he uses the life force to strenghen himself ... they do it without the knowledge... you however needed to learn"I replied, "I like you" I grined, I'd found myself a mage... one that was stronger than the rest.
With out warning i lunged, full speed towards aengus, before any reaction, i punched, then grabbed him around the neck and threw the young boy to the opposite side of the fighting area, I watched as the boy fell to the floor, a grin on my face, then returned to my fighting position.
