Chapter 2 - The Worst Way of Reaviling Magic.

At first, everything seemed to turn, making Azar dizzy as hell. The next thing he knew was that he fell to the ground among all the other people around him.

*I'm going to throw up!!!*

That was the only thing he thought about this situation. Then darkness...

Time has passed since then and Azar was existing in darkness.

Azar suddenly woke up, screaming "linaaaaa!!!!". He was dreaming about the disaster that occurred before. Some foreigners was looking at him like some kind of attraction.

"what are you looking at, huh?", the response he got was with a language that he wasn't familiar with, but he understood that the person in front of him was answering his abusive tone.

A whistle sound was heard from somewhere. *This sounded like very far from here*. Azar was something like a paranoid because he was overthinking everything... Before he could get up, everyone around him grabbed and tied him on a log.

"Hey!! What the actual fuck are you doing?!?!?!?!?!"

Once again he only heard some unknown words. When he tried to talk again, someone hit him in the head and once again he was unconscious.

He woke up, by a river, with some people that looked like him. He was not restrained but he couldn't even move his fingers. *WHAT IS GOING ON, THIS IS A SERIOUSLY BAD SITUATION.* Suddenly, he saw something, that was out of place , everyone was placed in order, with a pattern, and not randomly thrown here for some reason. He was trying to make a top view in his head, in just a second he made his conclusion. *WHY THE FUCK ARE WE FORMING A MAGIC CIRCLE??*

He begun to overthink his situation. *I seriously can only move my eyes, everyone else is either unconscious or in the same situation like me... We are forming a magic circle , at least that's my point of view... ARE YOU SERIOUS... IS THIS MAGIC?*. He started analyzing the fact that he just understood.

*If i am right, then , someone is powering this magic cycle from somewhere , i only need to find the one, just to be sure. Think Azar, what's out of place, what doesn't really stands to the pattern* he was mentally recording the point of view, to find the misplaced factor. *AHA I FOUND YOU!*. A man inside the circle had his eyes open but he was neither confused nor scared about the current situation.

Then he begun to think, what could he do to distract the man and loose his focus. *I am gonna look him in the eyes ,until he look at me. That ended up a horrible idea. The man stood up and headed straight to Azar, but Azar wasn't able to move, he was desperately trying to escape but, it was matter of seconds till the man arrived in front of Azar and kicked him in the face. Once again Azar was unconscious.

When he finally woke up. He was hungry and very mad about the fact that he was been that stupid to think that actual magic was the same as the games he used to play and the mangas he was reading. At that point most of the people around him was either frightened with the fact that this wasn't just a prison, it was a torture till death.

Once again Azar, with nothing but his mind and eyes that he was able to control, started thinking about the bad situation. *I'm stuck at a place, dead bodies on the ground , left by hunger and all of us, unable to move... * He didn't really realized that he had already found an answer about how to escape, but he started realizing it. *...I can only observe and wait, till the hunger conjures me and my soul leave my body. WAIT... how didn't i noticed it sooner. Aghh... have i become this stupid because of my hunger? How can i distinguish dead bodies over alive ones. The dead bodies are left on the ground unrestrained. Now , my only hope is that he cant detect life force and he can only understand by the behavior. I just have to wait till i find out how they do it.*

One hour has past , and Azar was hungrier than ever. By his calculations a human is near death from hunger if he has not food from 8 to 21 days if he is willingful enough.

*That means that i am here at least 5 days*.

Suddenly, the man that was controlling the magic circle got up and started checking for heartbeats.

* What the fuck! Those guys has magic and they are checking if we are alive with the pulse... that's very disappointing and at the same time the best thing that can happen right now.*

Then he started holding his breath.

* With enough willpower i can make myself unconscious, at the state of a dead man. I just have to do it at the right time cause if the brain loose all the oxygen i will die for real.*

The man was getting closer to him, Azar already failed 3 times to become near the result he wanted.The time had come, the man was right about to check his pulse. Azar was almost there. He did it. He was drowned and his heart stopped for 3 seconds till his lungs made their last effort to inhale some oxygen and the man had just checked him. He woke up taking greedy breaths from his nose. By the time the man went to his spot and sat down, Azar had been allowed to move.

*The only thing i have to do now is to get near the man and get a revenge for his kick. I am sure there are no guards here, if they were, they had to be from all the sides and not just behind me. This is getting really interesting. So lets make a plan.*

The landscape was like this. He was sitting at the perimeter of the circle , that's also the reason he could observe everything at the circle. The river was at his left side, with some rocks at the side making a relaxing sound made by the small waves the river made with its tide. In front of him the man stood at the center of the circle with his eyes closed and his back at the opposite direction. At his right side , there were some trees , making the landscape almost a perfect relaxing dream, the only exception was that between the river and the forest were lying hundreds of dead bodies.

The plan was made, he just had to stumble to the man and kick him at his neck. He started slithering among the bodies. Everyone looked at him with eyes full of hope, like when a cornered sheep is saved by the shepherd from a wolf. The man suddenly opened his eyes and Azar's heart was going to open his chest and leave him from the terror. Fortunately, the man was too cocky and he didn't even realized that he was missing from his spot. When he finally closed his eyes once again he started crawling till he reached the man's back and hit him with all his power he had left to the neck.
