Chapter 40: An Unwelcome Surprise

It had been three days since the king had been killed. Reflamen had woken up with a broken wing, two fractured ribs, and a dislocated leg. They had to tie him up to other dragons, who lifted him up and flew him to a dragon healer. Sophire had survived, how I don't know, but she did, and Rogan was elected king. 

Builders were at work rebuilding the castle, so far they had only done the bottom. The city was also getting rebuilt, slowly and steadily. 

I was going to school today, even though I was destined to faint again that day, I thought that with the amount of school I had missed, I had to catch up as much as I could. Many of my friends asked me where I had been.

"Busy," I replied to all of them.

My first class that day was math, which was in the upper part of the school gym. I grabbed my books and walked there with Rolland, chatting about miscellaneous things. We walked towards the classroom and started to climb the stairs. I heard thunder outside, and it was still very windy. 

The king may have been defeated but weird things were still happening in this world. I had strenghtened that forcefield, but stranger things had been happening. At one point I swear I saw a man, flying above the clouds, looking straight at me.

Rolland and I sat in class and got our books out. The teacher walked out in front of the class.

"Okay class," he said, "Today we are going to be learning about Linear equations."

I groaned silently, this was probably my weekest point in maths.

'Ha!' said Reflamen, he was at that moment in a be, letting medics and magicains look after him, he was being treated like a king.

I sighed, 'Just shut up, at least I can still move.'


Reflamen snorted, 'At least I don't have to do maths.'

"Derrick!" said the teacher, "Stop daydreaming!"

"Sorry," I said, going back to my work. 

I wrote down the answer to the next question. I sighed and looked at the sky, I couldn't wait to go back to the magic world, as I had now begun calling it. 

"Derrick!" said the teacher.

I instantly went back to my work.

"Hey dude," said Rolland, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," I said, smiling at Rolland, "Just wishing I was somewhere else."

Rolland smiled back, "I know what you mean."

We continued our work, I was now starting to feel the familiar dizziness come to me. I shook my head, trying to get rid of it. It seemed that when I was in a fight, I wouldn't notice it until the last few seconds, but now that I was bored, I felt it a lot sooner.

About an hour past, and the lesson was almost over. I was finishing the last few questions of my work, when I suddenly felt a very strange prescence, and it didn't feel friendly. I narrowed my eyes and sent out my mind, looking for the source. When I did find it, I froze.

"Oh great," I said.

"What?" said Rolland.

I then felt a sudden increase in magic, coming from somewhere near. 

"Get down!" I yelled, jumping towards Rolland.

Suddenly the floor exploded, and the whole class fell through. Dust went up everywhere. 

I got up from where I had landed and looked around. No one looked hurt to badly, but they were probably in shock. I heard one of the girls start to cry. The teacher was struggling to get up from under his bench.

"Calm down everyone!" said the teacher with a shaky voice, "Every thing is going to be alright, just stay calm!"

He finally got out from under the desk. Rolland was alright as well, he was laying on the floor, and seemed to be unconscious, his head had a single bead of blood running from it. He suddenly woke up, and groaned.

"What just happened?" he said.

"I don't know," I said, looking towards the huge whole in the wall, 'Reflamen, are you thinking what i'm thinking.'

'Yes,' said Reflamen, 'and I don't like it.'

'Me neither,' I said.

I started to make my way towards the huge whole. Dust was everywhere, making it hard to see.

"Derrick!" said the teacher, "Where are you going? Get back here!"

I felt a presence getting closer and closer, I now had no doubt.

"Derrick! Get back here, or you will be punished!" yelled the teacher.

I was starting to get angry, not at the teacher, but at the strange force that was coming.

"That... idiot," I said, "How did he survive, he was dead."

But the force was to familiar to be someone else. I summoned my swords to my hands. I heard a few people gasp. The teacher was speachless. I started to walk towards the huge hole.

"Derrick!" called Rolland, weakly.

I looked back at him, and smiled, "Don't worry, I just have some unfinished bussiness."

I forged on, and out onto the oval. Sure enough, there was a person standing there. He had his back turned, and he was holding a huge golden trident, with only two forks. He had a robe on and he looked like royalty.

"Oreman!" I yelled angrily.

The king turned towards me, and smiled. He had pure white teeth, which glamoured in the sun.

"Aaah, hello there kid," said Oreman, "I was wondering if you would show up."

"How are you here?" I said.

"I was resurected.. by the gods," he said, "And brought here, to have my revenge."

I glared at him, "There is only one god, and he definitly would not give you life."

The king laughed, "How clueless you are! You don't know what you have become, Derrick, and you have no idea who you are up against."

He leveled the staff at my chest, "You will die."

"We'll see about that!" I said.

I lept at the king, swords poised to attack. I struck from both sides at the same time. The king twurled his staff around and easily blocked both swords. I swung at his stomach, which he also blocked. 

"You're a lot better then last time we met," I said.

"I have been gifted with many talents," replied the king.

He then twurled the staff and shot me with a will spell. I went flying back towards the building. I cast a wind spell, and stopped myself in mid air. I then dropped back to the floor.

"I will kill you," I said, "You have no idea what I can do.

"I do," said Oreman, "I know all to well well what you can do."

I smiled, then closed my eyes, and started to imagine. I imagined the king, standing on the grass, looking at me with confidence in his eyes. I imagined the ruined building, the clouds in the sky, the forcefield, the wind. I saw everything in detail, and I saw myself standing there, my gaurd down. 

I raised my hand, lifting a huge piece of earth with it. I threw the earth piece at the king. The king twurled his staff and blasted it to bits. I charged threw the now ruined earth, and swung at the king. The king blocked it. I then twisted and back flipped over the king, and started swining at the kings head. The staff swept over his head and blocked all the blows. He then turned around and met me with a blow of his own, which I blocked, deflecitng the blow with both blades, and making the king fall foward. I then smashed his nose with my elbow. The king fell back and landed on his back.

I looked down at the king. He started laughing.

"So you do know how to use your powers, to bad they won't help you against this," the king suddenly thrust his hand forward, shooting a huge blast of darkness at me.

As the darkness washed over I put out my hand, creating a light shield, the darkness didn't even touch me. The king rolled backwards and summoned his staff into his hand. He then lept towards me, staff outstretched, trying to peice me. He couldn't see me because of the smoke around my body, so when he did strike, I moved to the side, stuck out my hand, and caught the staff. 

When the smoke cleared the king saw that I had not been harmed, and that I had his staff in my hand. He tried to yank backwards, trying to get the staff out of my grip. I grunted and pulled the staff forwards, the king with it. I punched him in the face, letting go of the staff at the same time. The king went flying backwards, landing quite a few feet away. He started laughing.

"You really are quite amazing, but you will still loose," he said.

He spun around, staff in his hand, and shot a stream of darkness from it. I summoned my swords at the same time, put them into a staff and hit the underside of the stream, hitting it towards the sky. The king lunged towards me, swinging at the same time. I blocked with my swords and stuck my foot into his shin, then twurled and hit him in the right cheed with another elbow, the king was on the floor yet again.

He rolled backwards and got up. 

"Derrick?" said a voice.

The king looked towards the voice, but I just kept staring at him. I could see him anyway.

"Get out of here Rolland," I said, "It's now safe."

Rolland stared at me, taking in the flaming staff and the destruction of the oval. 

"Yes!" said the king.

He swung his staff towards Rolland, and fired. Rolland stared at the stream, as if he was in a dream. 

"Rolland!" I said.

My body move in a blur and suddenly I was in front of Rolland. I hit the darkness ball with the staff, deflecting it towards the sky again. 

"Going after innocent people is cowardly, Oreman," I said, "Only the week do it."

Oreman looked at me and snarled. I got up from my ready position and stood up straight. I put out my hand, then made a fist, like I was grabbing something. The king suddenly found himself grabbed by an invisible hand. I started to fly upwards, draggin the king with me. We started to fly towards a farm that was nearby. I imaginered a forcefield around the house, protecting it from anything that happened. 

When we got close enough, a drew back my hand, and protended to throw something. The king went flying towards the ground, hitting it with a giant thud. I flew down and landed gently. Suddenly I felt a huge dizziness overcome me. I lost control over my imagination and everything went black. I hurridly opened my eyes, realising what was happening. 

"Oh no!" I said, "Not now."

The dizziness hit me full force and I fell to one knee, trying to resist. I spewed up, and groaned, before falling unconscious. The last thing I heard was the kings laughter.
