"NOW DO YOU REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU ARE IN?" the dragon said before five of the mages beside him vanished in the blink of an eye. My instincts kicked in and my void opened to the maximum that it could, allowing me to tap into my speed much faster instantly slowing my surroundings so I can follow what was happening. The same happened for the two boys beside me. Automatically forming a triangle back to back as they let their magic flow much faster for a counterattack. The dark mages appeared all around us, all five of them airborne, spells in hand to deliver devastating blows that were still clearly not meant to kill us.
