Something broke through the entrance and roared so loud, that I had to cover my ears.
It looked through the hole I had made and I immediately got a glimpse of what it was, a minotaur, this time with amour dressed on its body and a giant black hatchet in its left hand.
The monster charged at me and swung the hatchet.
With a yelp, I dodged and felt the weapon slash the air next to me. I fell to the floor and it looked at me with a murderous look then roared even angrier and then pulled its weapon from the sink it had buried itself in.
The kitchen wasn't big enough to support its size or even height. It was about seven feet tall so it was moving a bit slower meaning I had the advantage here.
I rushed to get up and then ran to the living room. My mom and the old woman were already dealing with a double-headed monster with four arms. It was slim and grey like a smigal from lord of the rings but very tall, it couldn't even fit in the house, it must probably back up for the minotaur since he didn't succeed last time. My mom was fighting with a flaming sword and the old woman was helping her with defense but putting up a force field.
"Run," my mom said in a struggling voice after seeing me. "I will find you."
I jumped through the window and set foot in the forest and without wasting a second I was already running, I glanced behind me and the bull monster had broken through the cabin wall and was already chasing after me.
It looked very determined while having its heavy brown eyes fixed on me, I was still distracted when it leaped and landed right in front and punched me. I fell on my back and was about to cast an attack spell but it grabbed my right hand and put it together with my left then squeezed and shattered every single bone in my hands.
The cracking sound of my bones was terrifying just to hear.
I screamed from the pain as tears ran down my eyes. I wanted to transform but something was wrong, I couldn't…. I was slowly losing my consciousness and everything was beginning to get blurry.
The minotaur carried me and placed me on its shoulder, "Don't worry boy, the master will fix your hands," it said while a teleportation ring formed right in front of it.
On the other side of the portal was a woodland.
I heard Atreigon squawk from above us, "Master!" he called me as he dived from up, its entire body started burning and it turned into a bigger phoenix.
Atreigon landed close to me and the monster and his flames destroyed the ground with an explosion that was powerful enough to throw me and the minotaur on the ground.
I stood up, choking from the smell of burning wood.
Atreigon flew up to me and landed on my shoulder like a parrot and his captain. My hands had completely healed from the flames and I could now move them.
"How did you-"
"I told you I was the greatest phoenix to ever live," he bragged ."Now let's kick this monster's butt it's gonna wish it never came."
I agreed and he burned into a black sword that appeared in my right hand.
The minotaur attacked and so did I in my Fey form, both our weapons met and we were now at equal strength with both of us pushing each other with a massive amount of physical energy. I jumped back. Then hit him with lighting from my hand, but he simply diverted it using the surface of his ax.
He is unstoppable with that ax in his hand, I thought.
It charged one more time. And I also ran forward but instead of attacking I slid straight through between its legs and then stabbed it in the spine, jumped off leaving the sword in it.
"Now," I ordered,
And the sword started burning the monster till it turned into nothing more than a gray statue of rock.
I sighed and then dropped to my knees. Atreigon shifted back into a Phoenix and flew up back to me.
He said nothing, but he just rest on the ground and went to sleep.
Boom***
There was an explosion from the house and the double-headed monster ran out heading in my direction. It spread its arms open like it was about to hug me and carry me away.
"Ralph!" My mom yelled, and I struck the monster with a lightning blast from my hands and it popped instantly into nothing more than a speck of evil dust.
That was shocking and weird at the same time, casting a spell without the need to say it. I felt like I had done something wrong or even terrible.
My hands were shaking so much that I had to shove them into my pockets, that was the first I felt like I had done something wrong.

Later that day, we were back in Mayfair and my dad couldn't believe that I was wanted by 'them' this badly. He insisted that I should start studying from home and avoid any public places since 'these things' could do anything they want and humans remember nothing. They also could shift into humans to hide amongst humans. But that didn't mean they had to cut me off from society once again, being their child already makes me repulsive enough.
I was in my room and I could hear their voices arguing about who should decide my future. I was a bit glad that they were home for a change. Ronnie was starting to see mom and dad like some family friends other than her parents so this had a good side after all.
I chose not to eavesdrop this time and chose to rest a bit. I was impressed and proud that I was able to fight a minotaur and won. It was a dream I never knew I had. Though if it wasn't for Atreigon I wouldn't be in my room right now.
