They charge at us. I dodge one. There seems to be more, and they were bigger. They roar at us. Althael reaches his hand out. Gold magic erupts from him like fire. I throw my sword out. One jumps from behind me. Anubis pushes him off from me. The monster roars. I charge. I feel the magic of him surging through my veins. I slam my hand into the ground, The earth rocks and spikes of tree roots shoot out. The monster halts to a stop.

"Hector! This might not be the time to ask you this but-" Rapunzel calls.

"Yes. I can do magic of a sorts." I answer. 

"That is so cool!" Rapunzel yells.

"Uh Blondie, you know what would be cool is us getting out of here!" Horace yelps.

"Absolutely not! You'll only slow us down." I say.

"But we can help!" Varian yells.

"I'm unconvinced." I say.

I turn and a Monster pounds onto me. I wince. It growls and clamps its jaws. Its breath smells awful and it's wrought in flames. I hope it doesn't burn me alive. Althael grabs its leg and throws him back. Throws him back hard, a thousand miles away. I look up at him.

"Thanks." I breathe.

He nods. He forms a ball of energy in his hand. It forms a ball of lightning. I feel the wind howl. I feel the roots break out. I see the trees getting thrown around. My eyes widen. I look at him. 

"You might want to stand back son." He says.

I nod. I know what he was going to do. I've seen him do this before. He was calling the magic of this earth. He was calling the energy of this forest. I draw back and duck behind a couple of rocks. I call for my animals to retreat. He throws the ball and everything burns around us.
