I said nothing.

"Why, you didn't think that I'd be on your side." Lucas laughed

"I didn't. You slime bag." I spat

He scowled.

"You brat!" Lucas spat

"I know. Why do you think I do it." I said coldly

Lucas drew his blade.

"I could end you right here, but the master wants you alive, for now." Lucas hissed

"Really, the dark wizard? He wants me alive for now? I'm his biggest threat." I said

"He's not our master." Lucas chuckled

I furrowed my brows. What did he mean? Who else would want me dead? Then something clicked in my mind. The creature, that pet of the dark wizard that had turned my only true friend. It had a mind of its own and was playing some sick game!

How could I have been so blind and stupid! Suddenly, Lucas had his sword drawn.

"You're coming with us." Lucas laughed

"I don't think so." I said, gripping my daggers so hard that my knuckles turned white.

I scowled. Lucas smiled like a mad man.

"Than I'll just have to take you by force!" Lucas said "You don't even have a proper sword!"

"That doesn't mean I can't beat you." I said

Lucas charged at me; I instantly deflected the blow using my daggers. Uncle Ramos hit one of the elves in the face with his shield. Lucas sent another blow which sent me flying. I crashed into the ground outside the cover of trees. I rolled out of the way as Lucas nearly ran me threw. Elves from the village came to see the commotion and scowled as they saw Lucas in his turned form.

His blows only became faster. He was now laughing like an insane person. It was as if he had no right of mind! But he probably didn't because of how crazy dark magic was emitting from him now. He suddenly landed a blow on my arm, cutting through the armor like cheese and it cut into my skin. I dropped one of my daggers.

I lost feeling in my right arm. I ducked and rolled as his sword went over my head. I couldn't fight like this. Suddenly, I was hit with a blast of dark magic and smashed into a tree. I coughed as the air was knocked from me. Some guards came and tried overpowering Lucas, but only failed in doing so.

I regained my breath and got back on my feet. Then I felt a tingling sensation, suddenly, a huge concentration of magic overwhelmed me and there was a bright blast. Suddenly, I was holding a white blade and was battling with as much strength as Lucas. Lucas struggled to block my blows.

"Tell your master we will not surrender easily, we will not give up and will win this battle between shadow and fire!" I said, dealing one strong blow and Lucas's blade shaddered.

"Retreat!" Lucas called

They retreated and I suddenly had the energy drain from me. The sword disappearing from my grasp. I swayed and passed out, falling to the ground.

"Master, I come bearing news of the Romo Child." Lucas said, kneeling and bowing before me.

"What is it?" I said in a disgusted tone

"We could not capture her. During our battle, she morphed. She wielded a large and brilliant shining white blade, and was dressed in a white cloak and gown. Her eyes glowed as with great energy as glittering white mist emmited from her eyes. She fought with unbelievable strength I was forced to retreat." Lucas said

I shouted with rage. That girl had found her true power! Now she was a true threat to my plan. But I could possibly consume her magic. This news could be useful.

"Go now. Get out of my sight!" I said

Lucas bowed and quickly left, leaving me to scheme.
