Chapter Twenty-Eight: Seto's Magic
I've been stuck on this for days now. I didn't know how to write this at all.....so...than I came up with something...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wag woke up feeling arms around him and they were holding him close. His eyes open, he felt too weak to be able to do anything, but he could hear fighting. He could hear struggling, that is what he heard. His eyes looked over the apprentice's shoulder, he sees Seto go flying into a wall.
Seto grit his teeth, pain stinging through him when he hit that wall, he landed on his feet, but he stumbled out of the way of a spell. He groaned, the blight spreading, he was almost prepared to do something rash, but he didn't want to hurt his friends. Donella grabbed him, she pushed him into a wall. She pins his arm to the wall, a knife form in her other hand. Seto grabs her arm, stopping her before she could cut him. Donella chuckles.
"Seto, you are disappointing me. I wanted a real fight out of you, not child's play. So when are you actually gonna use your magic?" She asks. Seto flinched hearing thunder outside, Seto's eyes look over at the window, hit bites his bottom lip. 'Thunder.....I'm desperate.' Seto thought. Seto looked back at Donella. Seto's eyes glowed white, the windows suddenly breaking and going into a million pieces as lightning strikes outside. Seto pushes Donella off him.
"You said you wanted my lightning magic....so..fine..I'll play your game," Seto said. He ran past her, he put his hands on a broken windowsill before he jumped outside. Donella turns around. The other apprentices are looking at them. Donella goes outside, the rain pouring down on them, Donella was suddenly knocked off her feet as a lightning bolt hit the ground. The apprentices inside were as well, Seto directly hit yet unscratched. His eyes were glowing white as white electricity ricochet off him. His many are unscratched from being struck by lightning, but his clothes are ripped up and the blight curse on his skin as well. It covered half his face and his left side of his body. Donella stood up, Seto looked at her. Donella took a step back.
"W-What the hell is that?" Donella asks. Seto mumbled something, Donella was quick to dodge his attack, the attack destroying the wall behind her. Donella grits her teeth, she mumbled a spell, she ran towards him. Seto jumped back when she tried to hit him. Donella gritted her teeth again, she snapped her fingers, someone appearing a few feet away from them. Seto looks at them, his eyes widen.
"J-Jaz?" Seto stuttered. Jazmine is sitting on the ground, now drenched from the rain, she has cuts and blood on her, but she looks up, she looks at Seto as his magic fades away. Jazmine gasps and whimpers. Seto runs pass Donella as Jazmine gets to her feet. Then she remembers. She backs up.
"No. No, Seto! Stay away from me, I don't want to hurt you!" Jazmine cried. She covers her face with her hands, crying into them. But Seto hugs her anyway, his arms going around her which makes her smile. She encompasses her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. "You're a light mage, you suppose—"
"I have the necklace I made you as a birthday present...it has protection charms on it, remember?" Seto asks. Jazmine picks her head up from her chest. Seto takes off the necklace and puts it on her, she feels her pain fade away and she grips his shoulders. Seto can't tell if it is rain or tears falling down her cheeks. She buries her face in his neck, hugging him tightly. He hugged her back, not wanting to let her go.
"I missed you so much! D-Don't leave me like t-that a-again. I th-thought I lost you.." She cried. Seto kissed her forehead than he remembered Donella. He sweeps Jazmine off her feet, he jumps out of the way of an attack. Jazmine looks over at Donella.
"Tsk...How can one stupid necklace fix what Archer did to her?" Donella asks. Jazmine puts her face in Seto's neck, her arms around his neck as he held her in his arms.
"I made that necklace for her, I put protection charms on it, so if I wasn't there to protect her, the necklace would," Seto said. Donella sighs. "And you and Archer will pay for hurting her."
"Oh..is no one allowed to touch your girl?" Donella asks. Seto mumbles something, his eyes glowing as lightning strikes a few feet away from her. Jazmine flinched when it struck the ground. 'I'm safe. I'm safe as long as Seto's arms are around me, I'm safe with him. He'll protect me, I know he will.' Jazmine thought.
"Jazmine," Seto said. Jazmine picks her head up from his neck, meeting his eyes. "Jaz, stay behind me, okay? I'll protect you, but I need you to stay with me." Jazmine nodded as he put her feet on the ground. Jazmine moves behind Seto, she gripped his jacket, holding one of his hands. Donella chuckles.
"Oh, Seto. That human girl will be the death of you, she's a liability." Donella said. Jazmine puts her face in Seto's back, Seto squeezed her hand in his.
"No, she's not," Seto said. Seto sees Nova come out. Donella lunges at Seto. Seto puts a shield up, and yet Lincoln appears. Seto looks at Lincoln, seeing he is attacking too. Seto pushes Jazmine backward, making her fall backwards. The shield blocks Donella, but Lincoln breaks the shield allowing both attacks to hit him. Seto grabbed Lincoln's wrist, stopping him mere inches from his flesh yet Donella cut into Seto's face with a knife. Seto yelped, he stumbled back, covering his left eye with his hand and blood ran down his cheek. Nova attacks Donella, Seto lowered his hand, his vision from his eye was blurred. A cut was ingrained in his cut that went up on the left side of his left eye and cuts up into his forehead as well. Blood mostly covered the right side of his face making it difficult for him to see. Lincoln jumped at him, Seto's eyes widen slightly, he couldn't move out of the way in time and Lincoln hit Seto making him go flying and clipping a fence, hitting the ground on the other side. Seto groaned in pain.
"S-Seto!" Jazmine called. Lincoln looked at Jazmine, Jazmine meets his eyes. Jazmine crawled backward. "L-Lincoln, no. Snap out of it." Lincoln was gonna attack her but Nova ran in front of Jazmine, growling at Lincoln, showing her teeth at him. Lincoln looks at Nova.
"Stupid mutt," Lincoln said. Nova moves back when Lincoln tried to kick her. Seto suddenly kicks Lincoln making him go flying to the left and he hit his head when he hit the wall. Jazmine smiled.
"Seto, are you okay?" She asks. Seto looked at them.
'Ohhh...your eye.' Nova thought of him.
"Seto, your eye--"
"It's fine, I can still see, somewhat..." Seto said. In actuality, Seto could barely see out of his left eye. Which is why his eye was mostly closed, he felt nauseous and dizzy and his head hurt because of it.
"Rigescunt Indutae." Seto heard someone said and he suddenly couldn't move, Jazmine could see a black outline on him and sees someone come up behind Seto with a sword. Jazmine's eyes widen.
"No!" Jazmine yelled as she got up. She ran towards them but she got frozen in place as well. Lincoln gets up, stumbling slightly, he touches his head, falling to his knees as he groaned, clutching his head. The figure moved in front of Seto.
"Archer," Seto said. Archer smiled slightly at Seto.
"Hey, Seto. Ooohhh...that looks like a nasty cut on your face." Archer said.
"Annuler!" Someone shouted and the outline on Seto's disappears. Seto mumbles a spell, lightning strikes down towards Archer, Archer sighs.
"Annuler." Archer said and Seto's attack vanishes.
"Wait...since when did you learn anti-magic?" Seto asks.
"When you were dead for four years. Actually, can you go back to being dead?" Archer asks before he mumbled something, a magic circle formed under Seto's feet.
"Seto!" Jazmine shouted. Georgia runs out.
"Annuler!" She shouted the magic circle disappears. Archer looks over at Georgia.
"Alright, you are getting on my nerves," Archer said. Seto sees Vixen run over to Lincoln, who was still on his hands and knees, trying to recollect himself. Vixen falls to her knees.
"Hold on, hang in there, Master Lincoln. I'll heal you, just stay still." Vixen said seeing Lincoln's decayed skin almost all over him. Haidyn runs down beside him.
"Lincoln, are you okay?" She asks.
"No, look at him," Vixen said before she puts her hands on his arms, mumbling under her breath. Her hands glow, Lincoln flinched feeling crystals forming on his skin. Lincoln squeezed his eyes shut, gritting his teeth before he passed out into Haidyn's arms. Hannah suddenly ran in front of them, she throws up a shield blocking Archer's attack. Hannah looks at Lincoln, she puts a shield up to block the rain for them. Seto's eyes glow white again, he flicks his wrist towards Archer, Archer puts his hand up towards Seto.
"Come on Seto. Try something different. Annuler." Archer said. The spell does die out but Nova suddenly bites Archer's arm. Seto mumbles under his breath, his eyes look at Georgia. She meets his eyes and nods. 'Nova that's enough!' Seto thought to her. Nova lets go of Archer's arm and runs out of the way. Archer sees Seto fire a ball of lightning at him, he was about to make it disappear but chains coiled around him restricting him. Lincoln gets shoved into Vixen's arms and Hannah felt her get pushed.
"Haidyn, what are you doing?!" Hannah yelled as she saw Haidyn run between Seto's attack and Archer. Hannah's eyes widen seeing the attack hit. "Haidyn!"
