Chereads / The Undying Magus / Chapter 12 - The Prophecy

Chapter 12 - The Prophecy

[You really are special. You just awakened the light element]

'And so wh... Wait'

"Whaattt!" Orpheus screamed in shock "I thought elements of the opposite attributes like; darkness and light and or fire and water, can not coexist in the same body. If not..."

[Yeah, it can cripple someone making them unable to absorb any other ability for the rest of their lives. Which brings us to the question; how can your body contain two contrastive elements without receiving any negative effects?]

'Who knows?' Orpheus turned to Sara and saw her eyelids moving 'She has woken up. We'll talk later'

[This is more important]

'No, she is more important at the moment'

[Young magi of these …ages] Costas sighed

*Cough*

Sara opened her eyes and saw Orpheus staring at her with a dazed face

'What is wrong with him?'

"Orpheus?" Sara called, waking Orpheus up from his daze "What happened?"

"I don't know. You just walked in here with bruises and suddenly fainted. Can you remember anything?"

"Yeah, just a few" Sara said before grunting

"What happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered what happened" Sara said

"Okay, so what happened?"

"After you had left me..."

...

A while ago...

After Orpheus had gone before Sara, seven boys appeared before her and surrounded her, obstructing her path to the classroom.

"Where's Orpheus?" One of the boys asked

"That's none of your business" Sara replied

"Alex. I think she's the girl that was following Orpheus during the combat class" Another boy told the first one

"You think I don't know that" Alex snapped back

"What I'm saying is that we can use her as payback for what Orpheus did to the boss"

"Ha, that's wise. Let's beat her up to near death and leave her here for him to find her"

The seven boys grinned and slowly closed in on Sara making her to flinch away from them. She then held up her hands and produced a fire blade making the boys to laugh

"So she's of fire. Ignatios, we leave her to you"

"He he, sure. Back me up though"

A skinny boy walked forward with a water blade in his hands. Sara then shouted and ran forward...

...

Back to present.....

".... I tried to fight them off for a while but with time, they overpowered me and left me there" Sara finished her story

[Orpheus if your memory serves me right, Alex and Ignatios are Marios' goons right? And he also had seven of them too]

'Yeah you're right. Wait a minute. What do you mean my memory? Stop invading my privacy'

[It's not my fault. You wouldn't talk to me so I had to keep myself busy with'em]

'Damn you man'

[Hehehe]

"Orpheus!!" Sara called his name, for the umpteenth time, waking him up from his daze. "What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing. I just remembered that Alex and Ignatios are Marios' goons"

"Marios? The guy you beat up?"

"Yeah, they wanted to use you to get back at me"

"Oh, but who healed me?" Sara asked in surprise after staring at her body

"Uh... That is... It's the blades" Orpheus lied

"Whoa, who knew my creation would be this overpowered"

"I know right?"

*Rrrnnnggg*

"That's the bell. We should head to the main hall" Orpheus got up from the floor and began to walk towards the main hall

"Hey! Wait for me!" Sara yelled, running after him

______________

In the main hall...

Instructors, homeroom teacher, the dean and a strange man are seated behind the stage, having a heated discussion until the sound of the door interrupted them.

"They have arrived. We will continue this after the mission" The strange man said before getting up

"Yes sir" everyone replied

*Creak*

Students began to troop into the hall in a rowdy manner, guessing why the academy had called them.

"Ahem" Mr. Philippos coughed as he stepped on to the stage, immediately quieting the hall

"Now that we have all arrived, I'll like to hand over to..." Mr. Philippos was interrupted by the creaking of the door as Orpheus and Sara walked into the hall with confused faces.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" Sara asked confusedly

[Hehehe, what a grand entrance]

"Ahem, we really need to oil that door. As I was saying, the prime minister, Mr. Vasilis, wants to make an important announcement" Mr. Philippos said, igniting an uproar among the students.

"What! The Prime Minister is here?"

"What is he doing here? I heard he rarely leaves his home"

[Orpheus? Is the prime minister visiting the academy that much of a big deal?]

'Yeah, a very big deal'

[How? I thought it was a normal thing for the prime minister to visit academies]

'Well, not in this case. For prime minister Vasilis to visit, it means that a new invention has been introduced or...'

[Or what?]

'The life of the inhabitants of the nation, city, town or academy is at stake'

"Good day to you all. As you may have guessed, my visit here means something awful has or is about to occur." Mr. Vasilis said with a rueful smile "I have two announcements to make; a major and a minor one. I'll start from the major one as they're both connected anyways. I've just received a prophecy from the three Moirai which is - 'On the day where the moon meets the sun, two brothers will clash causing the preservation of the threads or the termination of all threads - Which simply means, the life of everyone including the gods present is at stake"
