Magecraft Academy

Chapter 8

People were gathering around hurt kid Soldier: He lost a lot of blood Guard: it This look like the bite of a vampire hurty up(he was talking to another soldier) inform lord Aneks and princess Stella of what happened here."

He went right away using a speed spell to move fast like the wind. Deis was watching from the top of some shop a few meters from the crowd with his eyes it was no problem seeing everything even if the crowd was becoming bigger and bigger. 

Second Guard: What do you think was it really a vampire? "I really hope that is not the only vampire in the whole city is princes Rejcel. "Rejcel is here how that I didn't sense her presence.

Helena, Eritrea, and Aria came together on the spot Aria: Do you see Evona he left us and teleported in here.

Eritrea: What happened here? "This kid was attacked, princes."Helena: Who attacked it?

"We suspect princes Rejcel. 

Helena tried to heal the boy "Disappointing if you can't see with your eyes that his loss of blood is the smallest problem here.

Move idiots." "Deis where were you?" "forget that healto gate let's bring him in hospital."

As soon as he teleported the child he went to Stella's office. He was standing right before her door he could sense   Stella and Rejcel were in there.

But the room was talking about the incident very loud. 

Deis opened the door and entered. " Deis, what are you doing here firs you must knock it common sense?"  

Stella looked at Deis she knew him a little better now and she recognizes that cold look in his eyes it was the same when he killed that creature a few days ago.

 Rejcel raises his look upon Deis and changes direction immediately looking at the floor again.

"She didn't recognize me well better if she did I would probablu have to use Aurelis again." Rejcel was saved by Deis 10 000 years ago but she forgets his face all she remembers from that day are Silver eyes with a red mark on them.

"I am here to talk to you Stella?" "I am in the middle of something important here."

"I am aware of that that's why I am here she didn't commit the crime you are going to cause her for."

"What crime what is he talking about?"  "A few moments ago a child was attacked o the street and it seems that vampire did it, and naturally she is going to accuse you."

"But that is just ridiculous  I just got at the academy I still haven't been to the city."

"Ok Deis lord Aneks is on his way here and think you should live now."

"Fine but you are leaving with my gate." And they were both gone, Rejcel was surprised that there is someone who can use teleportation magic since the last person who was able to so so died ages ago.

While Rejcel was at Stela's office she and Deis were at the hospital "Care to explain why did you take me with you, lord Aneks is going to be at my office soon so could you please open Gate again? 

"Ok first talking with that old man about this and accusing an ancient person is only wasting precious time.:

"What do you mean by that, and where are we anyway." "Hospital and in case you didn't notice aI already put a cloaking spell so no one can hear see or feel our presence.."

"Same hospital in which that kid is, but why, you won't prove senescence of vampire princes shouldn't;t you bring lord Aneks with us?"

"Again stupid questions you are only wasting our time Stella, I already told you the vampire isn't responsible for this because the guard couldn't see what's really missing here, let me show you Fesmatos Ariena."

Grey circle appeared before Stela's eyes "You can now see through my eyes look carefully."

She looked In kid and she froze "Nothing right I know you can comprehend that this is not an illusionary spell and what you see is quite real.

That is a work of a demon" "How is that possible the founding ancestors sealed all gateways between our and their realm, so how?"

"Sure they did(he laughed), you should already know this, but little reminder there is no such thing as a perfect spell, Haven's barrier was cast in such a way to stop demons from entering our world but that was a time of war there still were many that were prisoners so I, I mean founding ancestors modified the spell so

if they ever escape the prison can pass through the barrier." 

"That doesn't explain how a demon passes through." "As said no spell is perfect, I suspect that this particular demon can change not only his form but his magic source, so he represents a full human that must be the way he passes the barrier."

Stela was still shaking she was furious but still, she asked calmly every question. "Is there anything that we can do? to retrieve his soul?" "No here is no spell for that once demons take your soul we have our to get it back our soul will be lost and he will become a living shell and fifty-five have already passed. " Stela strengthens her fist "But there is a way we can save him but that depends on how far are you ready to go." "I would do anything tell me how."

"Spell that will fill the hole inside him temporary of course." "I never heard for a spell like that."

"That's because there isn't one (Stela looked at him) but I will create one now Insignia fom altas(red circle showed around Deis Stela and little kid) I will explain now everything this spell will take part of your soul I would like to give part of mine but since I am the one who is casting the spell it must be someone else. of course, this spell will buy us only three more days, and then part of your soul will return to you, what will be the consequences for you I don't know so it is your choice."

"I will do it use part of mine soul." "Very well than Exenion (Deis moved his hand and sparkling light moved from Stella to the little kid) it is done."

Stella fainted but Deis cathed her and teleported somewhere. "My head (she owned her eyes slowly and was looking around) where am I ?" She saw Deis sitting on the window. "You are awake." "What happened(she remembered the spell and the kid) is he fine?"

"Relax he is fine you passed after the spell so I brought you hereto rest." "thank you, how long have I been like this four hours." "What that long you should wake me sooner lord Aneks surly is asking for me." 

"Don't worry about that I already took care." She tried to stand up but she almost fell. "Easy now you still haven't recovered. " "I don't have time for that I must inform him of the situation as well as professor Alphonse he may be able to help[ in tracking that demon."

"I don't think that is a good idea(he walked to a window and looked outside) while you were sleeping I was searching for the demon, I searched the whole town but nothing." 

"Professor surly can' (Don't be stupid (Deis raised his voice) If I wasn't able to find him no one will even if we search one person by one we will accomplish nothing ."

"There it is again that cold look in his eyes, so what do we do?" "Just like I sad I searched the whole city and I found that there are many dead bodies whose souls were taken by force, there is no way to tell how many years this demon was on meeden and how many souls he stole till now, but one thing is for sure he is not using power from those souls."

"What makes you say that?" "Think if he has the power of souls he took he could easily defeat any of you but he didn't he stays in shadows, but now he was clumsy made a mistake which can make one thing he is close to his goal."

"Which is what exactly?" "Again think Haves barrier is a product of holy magic if the particular demon is empowered by holy magic he could easily break through the barrier and there is nothing more fueled by holy energy than the human soul." 

"So what is his plan?" "That is not your concerned now it is mine all you should be worrying how to recover."

"And the kid Deis." "Of course I thought about that best way to catch him is if you move the festival in two days." 

"Two days, I see your point in waiting if we act now he will keep a low profile but if he thinks that everything is fine he will fall into the trap but I don't get five festivals."

"Easy because his next target will be you and Eritrea." Stela was shocked by Deis answer 

"Tha doesn't make any sense why would he go after us there are easier targets."

"he doesn't feed your soul's only blood you to cast a spell that will last forever is almost impossible so founding ones used their blood as a catalyst for their mana and with the divine object, they made the barrier last forever."

"Who are you Deis Evona and how do you know all of this?" "Haha, I am just an ordinary mage who loves history now when we have a plan I believe you owe a visit o lord Aneks see you around."

"And he disappeared again, at least he was since enough to live portal open, I ques there is no point in wondering about him now but when this is over a will discover your secrets." She left and the portal closed behind her.
