ACE POV:
I looked up to see what came out of the portal, and I was shocked at what I saw.
*ROAR*
"Ca..., Ca..., Cauldez?".
"You know this thing?".
""It's not a thing. It's one of the rarest beast in the Wizarding world".
I looked up to critically assess the creature. It had legs like a lion, body of a grizzly, and head of a buffalo. It had a powerful tail like the width of a man's hand.
"Everyone don't move". It was Lucas.
"Why?".
"It will attack if you move".
*ROAR*
"Can't we get some help?".
"We're in another realm, Ace. Getting help will take some time".
"Well, try".
Zack looked scared and started walking slowly towards the door.
"Zack, don't do it".
He yelled loudly and ran for the door.
*ROAR*
He charged for Zack. Everyone ran out of the way. He had Zack cornered.
*ROAR*
He opened his mouth to rip off his head.
*BANG*
The spell from Lucas sent it crashing into the wall.
"Zack, get out of there".
Lucas was distracted for a while. He didn't see the cauldez coming for him.
"Sir...,".
It was too late. It used it's tail to send him into the wall. He blacked out.
Jane ran to me.
"It'll keep hurting innocent people".
"What do you suppose we do?".
"Remember the spell?".
*ROAR*
It turned back to look at us.
"Phiquilli Seqaris".
It came rushing at us. I felt a sudden surge of power.
On impulse, I punched it in the temples.
It sent the beast flying across the room.
It momentarily destabilized it.
I looked at my hands in shock.
"How did you do that?".
"I don't know".
"Well, keep doing it".
"Someone please open a portal to the Council".
We rushed for the beast. It rushed for us. I threw a punch at the sides of the head. It flew to the ground with a thud.
Whatever I was doing, I was hell enjoying it.
I rushed at the beast. I stomped it's head hard to the ground with my fists. It sank into the floor. It lay there for a moment.
It got up with a growl and swiped at me with it's tail.
I found myself crashing into the wall. My vision was blurry for a moment. I shook my head slightly.
I saw it rushing at me with it's horns outstretched. I immediately fell to the ground and slid on it.
It rammed itself into the wall. It's horns were stuck to the wall.
I rushed momentarily to check on Lucas. The rest cowered at the wall.
"Someone, help him".
Shola, Drekov and Aurella rushed to him.
"Take them out of here" I said to Drekov.
"To where?".
"Anywhere but here".
"I'll try".
The cauldez pulled it's horns out of the wall. It rushed at the rest. I quickly caught it's tail and swung it across the room.
"I'll buy you some time".
I rushed for the monster. I rammed my fists as hard as I could into anywhere I could touch.
"I got it, I got it". It was Drekov.
"Good, get them outta here". I didn't look back.
"Aren't you coming?".
"Someone's gotta take care of the cauldez".
"You can't possibly think of staying, are you?".
"I have to".
"If you aren't going, I'm not going too". It was Jane.
I punched it hard into the wall. It got stuck in it. I rubbed my fists in each other gently.
"If you stay, you'll be in danger. Get help for me".
"What of you?".
"I'll try to stay alive".
The cauldez pulled out of the wall. It rammed it's horns into me. I crashed into the ground.
"Go" I yelled.
They entered into the portal and I watched it close.
It jumped to maul me to the ground. I rolled out of the way.
It pinned itself to the ground. It struggled to break free.
"I guess it's just you and me now".
It broke free and rushed for me. It did a surprise move and swiped at me with it's tail. It kicked me with it's hind-feet.
I crashed into the wall.
It rushed to maul me again.
I realized I wasn't skilled enough to face it, but in foolish bravado, I chose to.
Just then, the idea hit me hard...!
