Chapter 16: Opening the Portal
Our magic power was decreasing drastically. After we hit him with each attack, he got back up. "Stay down... already!" I said panting. People behind us were screaming as the mages, my friends, and the Shadowhunters fought Lilith and the demons she was summoning. Storm just grunted and said "I'm almost dead. You two are strong." "We are mates." Abigail said. Then I remembered something that Diana told me a while back.
~~~Flashback~~~
"Here." Diana said. She handed me a necklace with a black dragon with white eyes on it. "What's this?" I asked. "This is your dragon amulet. With this you can open a permanent portal to the dragon world." Diana said. "The chant is: Queen of the Dragons. Answer my call. Open the portal and help protect this world. Aperta! Portal ad Draco Mundus!"
~~~End~~~
"Abbey. Pass me my amulet." I said. "Why?" she asked. "I need to try something. Give me cover." I said. She nodded. She fished my amulet out of my and tossed it to me. I grabbed it and held it in both hands as if I'm praying. I can do this! I just need to believe in myself. I need to believe in Abigail. I need to- "Robert!" I heard my friends say breaking my train of thought. I spun around and saw demons pouring out and my friends fighting them. My friends are idiots... "What's wrong!?" I yelled back. Natsu looked over at me and yelled back "What are you doing!?"
I ignored him and went back into my stance. "Queen of the Dragons. Answer my call. Open the portal and help protect this world. Aperta! Portal ad Draco Mundus!" I chanted. A small magic circle appeared under me. I looked behind me and saw a big silver magic circle hovering over the school. "Is everyone out of the school!?" I asked. Lucy yelled "Yes!" "Good." I mumbled. I spread my arms wide and the circle under me glowed. "BOOOOOOOOOM!" could be heard from behimd me.
"What the fuck is happening!?" Matthew yelled. I looked behind me and saw a crater where the school once was. I slammed my hands on the ground and saw loads of water fall from the silver circle. When enough water was poured into the crater to fill it, the magic circles vanished. I noticed that Abigail and Storm stopped fighting. I looked and saw Abigail and Storm looking at me. Storm growled and said "You want me dead." Storm started to raise from the ground. He flew off. Abigail ran and hugged me just before I fell backwards.
"You reckless idiot. Don't EVER fight a dragon alone again and how much magic did you use?" Abigail said. "All of it..." I said, feeling tired. I looked towards my friends who were running towards us with tears in their eyes. Lilith was nowhere to be seen. When they got close enough, they lunged at Abigail and I. "Gahh!" I grunted. "YOU'RE ALIVE!" they all yelled. I looked up to see Erza, Jace, and Gray standing there. Jace and Hray were happy, while a certain red head didn't care. You're not getting away that easy. "Erza knew I was alive." I said. Everyone glared at Erza and Abigail's eyes turned into a dragon's. "And why didn't you tell us?" Lucy said.
"U-Ummmmm..." Erza said. Then she ran off. Abigail then looked at me and said "Do you know how much pain you put us through?" She was glaring at me now. I paled. I slipped out of the dog pile and started running after Erza. "GET BACK HERE ROBERT!" Abigail yelled. "I'm good!" I shouted.

After being chased for five minutes, getting dog piled on again, returning home, and being nearly crushed to death by my mom, I was now in my room, grounded for blowing up the school. I was reading City of Heavenly Fire. Again. Someone knocked on my door and I said "Come in." My mom walked in and said "Where did you get those candies that changed your voice?" "The Underworld. Why?" I said. My mom looked at me in surprise. "Hades is real!?" she said. I nodded. "Well that sucks." she said. "Maybe I can help?" said a familiar voice.
My mom and I jumped at the man appearing from the shadows of my room. He was in a black t-shirt and black jeans. He had black hair and had a goatee. "Hades!?" I exclaimed. "Hello again boy. Now, what was it you needed?" the Lord of the Dead asked. "Do you have any of those candies that allow you to speak a different language?" my mom asked. The next thing I knew, a bag was tossed onto my bed. "Goodbye." Hades said. He turned back into shadow and left. "There are like, a million of those!" I said, looking at the bag.
My mom grabbed one out of the bag and said "Eat it." I took it out of her hand, unwrapped it, and popped it in my mouth. "Do you understand me?" my mom said, but she had her accent. "Of course." I said, but I now had an accent. "It worked! You are speaking Italian. So am I!" my mom said. "Why is this- Wait a minute..." I said. "Are they...!?" I questioned. My mom nodded. "Couldn't you have stopped them!?" I yelled. "You know them! Once they make up their mind, there's no changing it!" Mom screamed. "What's going on?" my brother asked, walking into the room. "Our cousin is coming! And at the worst possible time to!" I said. "WHAT!?" Jonathan screamed.
"This is bad..." I said. Robert? What's with the yelling?, Wendy asked. I'll tell you later., I replied. "Robert, you are free to go. Talk to the others." Mom said. "Wait. When are the coming?" Jonny asked. Ding dong! I glared at my mother. "Seems like now..." I said.
