Magic Trick Chapter 33

"MASTER, WE ARE THE MISCEREI."
What? So… Another seven here is under my mastership? Like, I don't even know I have a mastership.
Suddenly, the Karlbland stopped with their 'fun', as they all gathered behind me. Yet, they looked like they're still ready for a fight. No one has put down any of their weapons.
"Miscerei? I've never heard of it," I said.
"You are our new master. We were the chosen ones to protect you at all cost. I am Aillard," said Aillard, who is like Vigdis' counterpart. He's a knight in glaring red armor, but with a platinum lining. He's holding a long staff with a bizarre symbol as its head.
"Aillard, who chose you all?" I asked.
"We call him Master Fei, but now, our loyalty is only to you, master. Hi, I am Ufara," greeted Ufara, a black woman who wears an orange turban on the head, full-on smiles, and she's wearing this long animal print dress that I love. I noticed that her fingernails are in platinum too. I'm guessing this is the running theme for this group. Oh, and she's the Taneli in this group, but way nicer, and she doesn't have a weapon with her.
"I see. Fei sent you…" I almost choked because… You know, how they got here…
"Nice to meet you, Master. I am Zathrian. It seems like I've been here before…" Zathrian smiled at me looked everywhere.
"Hello, Zathrian, I guess, maybe you have been here…" I awkwardly smiled, but seeing Zathrian is really interesting to my eyes. He's Ferelith's counterpart, with this red leather and platinum chain combo in his outfit. I guess the chains are his weapon. He's cute, though. Almost has the same smile as Arnau. Cute, too.
"I think the fun is about to start," Taneli whispered.
"Fun?" one of the Miscerei stepped forward.
I waved my hand to this girl. "Hi, you are…"
"Elaxi," she responded. She has these space buns tied using these platinum strings. She's also wearing this indigo cardigan, (no top) and these dark blue jogger pants and rubber shoes that I could say, she's like the modern take on Arnau. Also, she's not holding a weapon like Ufara.
"What kind of fun? Or is it really fun?" said a guy who stepped forward, which was like the opposite of Ciaren, but he sounded like the doubtful Taneli.
"Hello, may I know your name?" I asked.
"I am Hanniel, Master," said Hanniel, a beefcake whose guns are way bigger than Ciaren, plus he's wearing only a pair of green harem pants with prints of odd symbols to cover his bottom. He's barefooted and the platinum thingy on his was the bondage on his forehead. He really looked like a daddy, though. A handsome one!

"And the two of you?" I talked to the last two who I haven't gotten to know.
"I am Gennady, Master, and this is Kalliste," said Gennady, who I think is the counterpart of Marcene, the soft-spoken one among the group. Gennady is like a geek, with his attire. He wears a sky blue long-sleeved shirt, and guess what, a platinum tie. Glasses, blonde hair like Nick Carter in the '90s, you know, the one that was parted in the middle, corduroy pants, and moccasin shoes. Someone who you wouldn't expect to possess a great deal of magic. I couldn't see a weapon in him, though.
Kalliste, on the other hand, didn't even speak a word. She just looked at me from head to foot. I guess, she has the combined hostility of Ferelith and Taneli, but I guess, she's the Eneko of the group, as she looked mysterious to me. She's wearing this dress made of tulle from her boobs down to her thighs, then a pair of black boots on the bottom. The platinum thingy on her is her bracelet. No weapons as well.
"I guess that's enough for the introductions. Let's get down with the fun," Ferelith spread out his whip and slapped the soft meadow. Then, a trail of crackling fire was approaching the Miscerei.
Aillard, who calmly walked in front, just raised his long staff and provided shield for all the Miscerei. The fire turned into smoke as if it was extinguished in an instant.
Ferelith scoffed. "This is gonna be fun."
"Master… I would like you to step aside for a while," Arnau requested, and I haven't gotten the chance to answer as he enveloped me inside a bubble and blew me to the top part of the tree with rainbow leaves. Good thing, I own this world and I can control the bubble. So, I moved and watched each of the battles.
Here's the lineup: the first is Ferelith versus Aillard. Then we have Arnau versus Elaxi. Next is Marcene versus Hanniel. Vigdis versus Gennady. Taneli versus Kalliste. Last is Ciaren versus Ufara. I kinda think that the there is something similar to each of them, but the ones who they chose to fight has a different power than the other.
Yet… It's getting really unruly as the beautiful world of Valenti is getting destroyed in every attack. The creatures are running away. The moons have been hit. The trees are slashed. Even that dragon playing on the mountaintop stopped moving and stayed put.
I went down and burst the bubble Arnau created and I screamed, "Stop! All of you! Here!"

All of them ceased from attacking each other and gathered in front of me.
"This isn't fun to me," I said. "Look behind you."
All of them stared at their backs. Then, they all either shrugged or evaded my stare. Imagine, they have the nerve to destroy this marvelous place?
"See what you've done?" I sighed. "You see, all of this is new to me. I don't have the power to control my powers, and if you're my powers, then how can I control you if all of you are clashing with each other? How will I be out there? Do you want me to be defeated? Do you all want me to die? To top it all, do you even know what will happen to you when I die?"
Everyone remained silent. I guess, somehow that pep talk sunk in them. More than ever, I needed their support. I didn't know what to do when I'm out there. Hell, I didn't even know that there will be Karlbland and Miscerei in the first place. I just thought I can just levitate things, control water, emit a massive force. I didn't know I have to manage these magical beings!
"Now, I want you all to partner up now. Aillard and Vigdis. Ferelith and Elaxi. Taneli and Ufara. Ciaren and Hanniel. Marcene and Gennady. Marcene and Kalliste. Arnau and Zathrian. I don't want you all to fight, but I want you to talk and figure out your powers and combine them together. Do you get me?"
"Apologies, master, in behalf of the Karlbland—"
"Apologies, master, in behalf of the Miscerei—"
Both Vigdis and Aillard uttered in unison and stopped speaking at the same time. I was about to scream, "Yaaaaaas!" but I remained my still composure. They should take this seriously. I should take it seriously, otherwise, I might die out there.
"I'm resting as I had a long day, so please stop disturbing me. I need to regain my physical power. Do you understand me?" I feel bossy, but I have to be.
"Yes, Master," responded all. It seemed that after hearing me raise my tone a little bit, they felt that I have the authority over them.
"When I get back, I want you all to talk to me and see if the sky fits heaven here."
That was the last line I said as I close my eyes. Suddenly, I feel Fei's body in my arms. Then, I opened my eyes and I was terrified to see a lot of people in front of me. There's Fei, Jia, Haru, Taki and Taka, Benedetta, Salvatore, and Mrs. Xing.
"What happened?" I asked, then I tried standing up, but I couldn't because I'm still too weak to move.
"You were having a seizure. You're trembling really bad. Your eyes turned white and it was illuminating, so I called all of them to see what we can do. I panicked, Trick. I'm sorry," Fei said.
"No worries. I think I'm okay now?" I said.
"Are you sure? I mean… Ellis didn't have the same symptom," Haru said.
All of us gasped and looked at Haru.
The Marasigan twins did a high-five.
Benedetta and Salvatore just nodded.
Fei and I were shocked as our mouths are still open until now.
Jia chuckled.
And… Mrs. Xing just smiled. "I think, Trick is okay now. Fei, let us know how he'll be in the next few hours. In the meantime, young man, I think we need to talk." She was referring to Haru.
Mrs. Xing and Haru left the room first. Then, the ones remaining sort of gossiped about it. Although, Fei played it safe, I knew in my mind that Ellis's superpower, which is being a slut, took effect.
After a while, they all left and Fei talked to me.
"Hey, Trick. How are you feeling now?"
I breathed deeply. "I think everyone's under control now."
"Everyone?" Fei asked in a curious tone.
Okay, dilemma no. 1, what if the two groups fought again while in my sleep? Will it be another seizure? No. 2, did Ellis and Haru really do it? No. 3, how can I deal with this? Should I tell Fei that Karlbland and Miscerei are fighting inside me or should I hide it from him in the meantime?
"I mean, the ones in the room, they're okay now," I lied, for now. Until I get the full tea among the two groups.
"Yeah, but how about you?" he reiterated.
"I'm good. Everything's under control now." Finally, I said it correctly.
Fei kissed me on my lips. "Good to know. I'm just here, okay?"
"Okay," I replied, then I slept again, thinking about the first two dilemmas that I had.
Whew. What a night.
What about tomorrow?

With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world.
