I throw him to the side. Janai charges and ignites. I block her sword with my staff. She pushes me aside. I stumble back. I'm usually not the best fighter. Now, it changes. Now I change. Jenai charges again. I pull my staff forward and block her.

"Callum stop this." Queen Janai said.

"Never." I answer. 

I flew up and targeted the heart of the camp. Gren wrapped a rope around my neck and threw me on the ground. I wince. I feel the rope on my neck. I wince as I feel it burning. It burns. I grab it. I rip it off. I drop the rope. Smoke blows off my hand.  Amaya stepped forward.

"Callum what is going on?" Gren translates her signs.

"None of your concern." I hiss.  

"Please tell us what's going on." Gren said. 

"No." I say.

Janai charges at me. I create a shadow wall that blocks her and throws her back. The wall recedes. I draw back. 

"You cannot stop me." I hiss.

I turn to Amaya tears start streaming down her face. I've never seen this before. I've never seen my hard aunt break down like this. I drop my guard just long enough for Janai to stab me. I draw back hissing. Blood drops into the ground forming into roses. I draw back. The wound was a lot greater than I first thought. I had to retreat.

Feathers grew around me and turned me into a monster. I shot into the sky.
