Chapter 14:

Consequences

Light through my window


It was musical string, staying still in place. Time has been stopped. I looked at  on the body in an unnatural position. And then, at one moment, Aurelia and Oberon appeared in front of me. Oberon gasped:

"My student, you have learned well how to use time control. However, you have made yourself another strong enemy, he going to be here soon enough, after finding out about his son's fate."

"It's okay, sooner or later it would happen."-sighed with a sad smile Aurelia:

"We won't be able to spend even one more day in peace, even the fact that I can stop time, we did not had it to do much things that we wanted."- I hugged her:

"Everything gonna be alright, after we deal everything."- And I asked our teacher: 

"Master Oberon, can you send us to the dragon realm?"- She frowned:

"Crazy as always, but yeah, here it is, don't gonna ask me for help?"-Her lips stretched into a sinister smile.

"Would you? If we asked."- questioned Aurelia.

"Not really, too bothersome and I don't want to get their attention."

"Whose?"- Asked I curiously.

"Sometimes somethings better left unknown, young boy."- She said sadly, her facial expression suddenly changed:

"Well, it's time for you to go, good luck, you will need it."- And we entered the portal.

It was a swampy area, everything was covered with thick mud and there were sprawling trees around. We turned our clothes back into cloaks. The whole swamp was teeming with the sounds of insects and living creatures. Using the magic sense, we decided on the side in which to go. Since it immediately became  clear where the strongest pressure comes. After a while, we saw a gigantic mountain with a cave, there were a huge number of dragons around it. I used the shadow in a moment we were in a cave. It was dark, but thanks to my vampire vision, we went deeper without attracting attention.  And inside there was a huge room with a lot of wealth, coins, cups, swords and everything made of gold. In the middle stood a throne made of gold with precious stones. On it sat majestically half dragon, half a man. He was wearing golden armor. On each of his fingers was a ring, and a giant crown adorned his head. His eyes were closed, but there was a palpable pressure around him, an ordinary person would die in an instant. And then a roar was heard from him and he majestically spoke:

"You dare to come here in person? And even without Oberon. You understand that such little kids can't cope with me. But since you cane yourself, I will give you an easy punishment, a quick death."- Silence reigned for a second, but suddenly a seething began to be heard from under our feet and suddenly magma broke through. But the whistle sounded and time stopped its course. Aurelia pulled me out of the attack zone. Time continued to move and we heard a sigh of disgust:

"In this world, abilities are given according to your injury and will, and are fueled by emotions. I can't imagine how ugly your injury must be, little girl. If you have such terrifying ability."- When he finished speaking, he released a blast of magma at us from his mouth. And he was much stronger than his son's beam of fire. Aurelia helped me dodge with her ability. Hell, he doesn't even use his special abilities, only generic attacks. We tried to counter attack. Aurelia stopped time, I was behind him and she fired arrow at him, and when she activated time, because if someone would touch him will time staying still, he would be able to move. But he released a magma beam under himself, protecting from our attack. I barely dodged.

"Ga-ha-ha, you should try better."- He said, while creating hands of flame that began to chase us:

"Are you two seriously, come to me to fight on my territory, without a plan? You two gonna pay for such arrogance."- Dodging his next attack, I created a reflective shadow dome around him. Began to form spikes inside and squeeze. But they didn't move, I felt heat and suddenly magma burst out of dome. He smirked:

"Kids games, let me show you real darkness!"- His fire turned black and it was obvious, that one hit of this fire and instant death. We barely dodged even having shadow-space and light-time abilities. I aimed my sword and cut through the space, Aurelia stopped and resumed time, the blade was near his head. I couldn't keep scream:

"He was able to dodge?!?!?!"

"Ho-ho your ability is also interesting, they are sort of same. But would you like to see my ability?"- He pointed with one ring to the sky. And everything around him began to crumble to dust and his dark fire armor began to get form of warrior-dragon. We flew out of the mountain, with the help of the wings and the ability of Aurelia. The mountain turned into sand, all plants and animals dried up and crumbled. He did not even spare the dragons around. As if devouring all living things to saturate his fire. HE became a giant consisted of dark fire and his size was equal to three mountains.

"Well, do you think you still have any chance against me?"- and he suddenly fell silent. Blood flowed from his nose, mouth and eyes:

"Whe...re do...es vamp...ire mag..ic co..me fro...m"- He set fore to himself and stopped the process of destruction inside himself. He slowly looked behind us, we turned too. And saw the governess holding little golden goblet. 

"What are you get yourself into, young sir?"- She shook her head. Red blood poured from the glass, spinning the governess and creating armor for her like a great dragon lord's armor. And I heard her real sad voice for the first time in a long period:

"Move on, young master, it won't be safe here soon."- and we flew away as far as we could, watching the battle between the two giants began.
