《A Magical Journey》Chapter 14: Almost over
Advertisement
It was the middle of the afternoon the next day when the four adventurers reached the tower. It was right were Vi said, in the middle of a small peninsula. They could see Iztoros in the distance, at the other side of the body of water around the peninsula. They tied up Phantom on a tree and looked at each others, all making sure that everyone was ready for what was coming next. The tower was in the middle of a field, there was no way for them to sneak inside. Maya took a deep breath and took off her necklace. Better make a remarkable entrance if they can't be stealthy.
Felix sat up in his bed. 'Finally! They took their time getting here.' He smirked devishly and headed to the top of the tower. ''Oh dear Princey~ Your princess is here to save you!''
Will stood up and tried to look up the windows. He saw in the distance four women. One wearing a red warrior outfit, another with brown and green clothing, a silhouette wrapped in a black and green cloak and a small one with clothes that didn't seem to fit her. Will's heart skipped a beat, the smallest one was most likely Maya! She really did came to save him! His thoughts were cut short by Felix evil laughter.
''Oh yes Will, keep hopes. It will be so satisfying to see this little spark of hope die as I take back what is MINE!''
''They will stop you...''
Felix laughed even more and went to sit by the window, waiting for them to come up to him while he was non chalantly playing with his magical staff.
Lou looked at the tower and spotted the sorcerer staring at them. She rolled her eyes and gave him a small wave with her fingers. ''He is so overdramatic, waiting for us at the top of his tower like that.''

''I'm not sure if I can do this...'' Maya whispered.
''I'm sure you can'' Lee added ''the plan is great... We can do this!''
''Let's show him who's the best sorcerer!'' Vi exclaimed.
They were almost at the top of the stairs. Lou and Vi first, Lee and Maya right behind them. Vi asked if they were all ready, they all nodded and they all jumped into action : Lou and Vi rushing at the sorcerer, Vi wrapping a chain around the key he had around his waist and threw it in Lee's hand that was running toward the cell with Maya.
Felix threw his hand in Lee and Maya's direction and he pushed them both on the wall, knocking Lee unconscious that was almost at the cell's door. Maya crawled to her, checking if she was okay. Lou screamed in rage and charged at him with her sword. Felix laughed and tried to electrocute her, she manage to dodge the lighting, but when she tried to get her balance back, he also threw her on the wall. Vi tried to tie him up with their chains but he shoved them away with a simple hand gesture ''This is way more easier than I thought! You are so weak!''
''Please stop!'' Maya shouted, trying to use her ability on the sorcerer. ''Stop hurting my friends!''
''Your wishes are orders, princess!''
And he used the chain on his wall to tie up Maya and bring her to him. He grabbed her shoulder real hard, making the princess scream in pain and surprise. Vi and Lou tried to help their friend, but Felix made a big bubble of lighting around him and the princess. He then started the ritual to get Maya's power. He heard Vi, Lou and even Will scream in anger but he couldn't care less. It was finally over! In some seconds he will have all this abilities inside of him. His Master will be proud of him. When he said the last word, he closed his eyes, waiting for the power to flow through him... But nothing happened.

He opened his eyes and looked around him, making the lightings disappear. What was happening? Will was looking at him with a smirk on his pretty face, arm crossed ''Look like you didn't study your little spell hard enough, Felix. Looks like it failed.''
''NO! I did everything right! ''
''Oh'' Maya said calmy ''I got it then!''
''Oh gosh finally!'' Lou exclaimed. ''This illusion was much harder to keep in place than I thought!''
The air of the whole room started to ripple. Felix closed his eye sand shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw confused him. The person in his grip wasn't the princess, it was the scholar. He let go of her out of suprise. He looked around and saw the princess beside the cell door, that was now open. He looked the other way to see that the sorcerer and the warrior switched place. His staff was snatched away from him by Will and the prince hit him hard on the face, making him fall on his knees. A chain wrapped his wrists while Lou and Will held him still.
''What the...''
''Can you keep quiet I need to talk to someone'' Lee told him while tapping on the side of her glasses, ''hello?... Yes I know the spell, do you want to hear it?...Well, It looks like this old spell you showed me... Yes... That's what I thought... Okay thanks, bye.'' She tapped her glasses again.
While Lee seemed to speak to herself, the two men looked really confused, Will was about to ask what was happening, but Vi and Lou shook their head and pointing a finger in front of their mouth. Lee turned to face Maya and told her ''Maya, you can come now and repeat exactly what I will say. You will have to grab his shoulder too.''
''O... okay.''
Maya closed her eyes and tried to focus only on Lee's words and using her charmspeak and not to that man that was desperatly trying to get away from her grip. When the ritual was done a burst of energy flew out of Maya and Felix, making everyone else in the room slide a few feet on the ground. Felix fell back on his knees and hand, visibly exhausted, but still alive. When they looked up at Maya, she was levitating a few feet from the ground, electricity sparkling around her body and her eyes were shining a bright light. They all looked in awe, not nothing what to do. After a few seconds, Maya blinked several times, looked down and said in a small voice ''Am I....Am I flying right now!?''
All the electricity and energy surrounding her then disappeared, she floated a bit in the air before falling back down. She let out a small scream but Will catched her before she could hurt herself.
Felix looked around to find his staff, when he saw it he got up and grabbed it. Lou was about to run after him since he was about the jump out the window. Maya used her charmspeak and yelled ''STOP!''. Not only did all the people in the room stopped moving, holding their breath, but it also looked like all the wildlife stopped what they were doing too : the birds paused their chirpings, the insects interupted their stridulations, even the wind seemed to have stopped blowing.
Felix was the first one to recover and climbed the windowframe and jumped. They all looked at each other and rushed to the window, only to see the sorcerer flying away, sitting on the back of a gigantic flying snake.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
