Chapter 18 (Khadgin's P.O.V)

The great white wizard had made a council of elders… there were four of us in all, The Red of neutral, The White of good, the blood mage, and myself of the black. The white mage looked at me with a look of pity, I snarled at him "do not pity me brother, or I will kill you as soon as you look on me!"

My brother replied in that serene voice. " You are my brother I must look after you, you are wounded fatally by your magic. I just want no more then to help." growling out I muttered "each time you help me you kill me so stop it, H'sar" he looked at me with pain in his eyes then turned to the rest of the council.

The blood mage stood no taller then five and a half feet. His bald head reflecting the light. He was fat, But powerful nonetheless. His face looked somewhat like a pig. He was a glutton for power… I then looked to the red mage. He was six foot with blonde hair. While his magic lied in Neutral he had the biggest arsenal of all. His build was that of a smithy. He was loyal to his companions and would die for them.

I then looked to my brother. He was quite the opposite of myself. He had black hair under his silver robes, he was much bigger then myself. Since he had not devoted his life to magic. H'sar spoke clearly and powerfully, "we must join forces in order to kill this new threat."

The red nodded and the blood shook his head violently, "I will not endanger the life of my apprentices or my own." I closed my eyes and said in a sardonic tone that made the man quiver with fear, " you are a fool then… you will fight or die, I have already offered my apprentices services."

He looked at me defiantly "you have no apprentice! You lie to the bone Warlock, I have not seen this apprentice and we all have orbs of seeing into each others Tower's." snickering I whispered, " you think I would be that foolish? To see my apprentice is death. He only serves me when I need him for Rituals, he knows almost more then me. He knows all but the arcane spells. He knew you were watching so he set up a ward on himself."

The blood glared but said nothing. The red then interrupted "we are in your debt Black mage, me and my apprentice's will help you to our deaths." I nodded and looked to my brother. "so will you help us defeat this demonic creature?" He did nothing but close his eyes and nod.

The door then blew open with the force of a storm; I covered us all with a circle of protection, While the Thing came in. It did not walk but it floated. It looked at me and then to the blood, seeing what it came for it went to him. The red went to him and they both left.

I muttered "so he was a traitor after all…" just then the Demon came in, My brother fired Lightning bolts while the Red fired fireballs, I raised the souls of the dead to hold him off, then began charging my destination Bomb. The demon was getting closer, and was getting angered by these irrational fools. The eight foot tall demon had golden Armour on, his muscles were chiseled into perfection while he ran towards us.

As soon as he was close I fired my Destination Bomb, Blowing the Whole plane of land to bits.

I had left the house as soon as daybreak hit, I went to look for a smithy, so I could repair my Armour. Which had a huge gash in the back and side from the previous battles. I soon found one and paid the man so I could work in peace. I could not work with another in the smithy.

I soon set to lighting the furnace, and found it heated faster then most. I nodded in satisfaction while I stripped off my Armour. Putting it on the anvil and then putting the Armour into the furnace, bringing it out while it was beet red then fixing the Gash's in the Armour.

When I was done I quickly submerged it in water, then polished it back to good shape. I then heard a single glass shatter on the ground. I then ducked to the floor to see a sword where I once was. I reached back for my own sword and found it wasn't there. I muttered "shit I must have left it at Mitch's places…"

I looked at my attacked and was shocked to see that he looked just like me. Six foot nine, black hair Armour and had a build like a true smithy. He grinned at me and boomed, "I will kill you this day Nateal" he then charged. Bringing his fist into my gut, I tried to counter with an uppercut but he caught my fist.

He grinned as he brought his knee into my stomach repeatedly. I choked up blood the wrapped my arm around him ramming him into the hard concrete walls. He let go of my arm and muttered out "for that you will die" with that he punched my square in the face sending me back into the other side of the smithy.

He grabbed random weapons that I had kept from the last battle. And noticed they were all beet red, he grinned as he picked up a maul. I looked around desperately and found a steel shield and put it on. He began to bring the maul up and I dodged at the last moment, then smashing the small shield into his ribcage.

He growled out in pain while he hefted the Maul. I backed away and threw the shield at him. Sending him back with the additional weight from the maul. He became unbalanced and I started to charge up the only magic I knew. Raw Energy. The most dangerous of all Magic I slowly brought my hands down to my Sternum and forced energy into the spot.

I crated the orb so it was the size of a basketball before he was balanced. I quickly sent it to him with pain in my arms and legs from using most of my energy. It blew a hole trough his stomach but he was too stubborn to die and he came at me again. He was weak and I grabbed his arm and his leg, hefted him over my shoulder and brought him to the furnace.

"Fuck you" were his last words as I threw him into the furnace, the scent of burning flesh was in the air and I heard the man sizzle. He screamed in pain as he died. I closed up the furnace and turned it off. Then slinked down into a rough iron chair. Deprived of all my energy I fell into a deep sleep.

I watched sadly as the demon king walked away from my blast… the other members of council were all right also. I would have thought it would have destroyed him… he has gained too much power. And has to many friends… I crawled for an hour back to my tower where my apprentice helped me to the healing rooms. Where I spent a good many days…

(Deciet's P.O.V)

We had not gone to search for any of them, as Pheonix said all of them were probably fine. And knowing Mitch I knew he was wrong. After a couple hours we had decided to split up and find both Nateal and Mitch, and to meet back here by daylight of two moons from now.

We soon got packed up and all went our separate ways
