Chapter 66
(Attack at the castle, Pt 3 of 6)
Narrator Pov:
No-one could believe what was going on, they saw the impression of something around Meshu's throat. But none of them, except Meshu, could see the one strangling him. Then, they spoke, "When did I say you could tell others about that? You remember the familial law about it, do you not?"
Nobody could comprehend where it was coming from. But Meshu's face grew dark with fear when he had heard it. It was one of his parents, they had lived a short life since they went to save someone. But he had lived for hundreds of years, not wanting to forget it.
He was a Beast-kin Dragon, capable of living for over two thousand years. No-one knew this except Rex, who was, astonished at what was happening. "I didn't think it would be a problem, he had told Theo and Aaron about it already. I figured it wouldn't be a problem if I told their parents," Meshu choked out.
"I see your point, but you should ask permission from him first, or he can tell them himself. Judging by his breathing he will be awake soon, so prepare yourself," The voice said, leaving. At that Meshu fell to the ground, gasping for breath, he had been choked for a good minute.
"What, was that?," Pakora asked, curious and frightened at what had happened.
"A spell some could say, my mother cast it on me when I was young. She did it, as to not reveal something related to my father. He was a human and she a Beast-kin, that is why I look like this. If I ever tried to say something related to my father, without his permission, that happens. But the funniest thing is he doesn't even know the spell exists," Meshu says, finally recovering his breath.
"Meshu, I know what you are, you know that, I also know your age. But if that is the case, why do you talk as if he is still alive, we both know that he died then. An we both know humans cannot live that long," Rex says wary, curious, and something else. He doesn't know how a man can stay alive that long. He also doesn't know why Meshu was talking like that.
"Well, I am not sure if I am ok to talk about it. But I know he is alive because I saw him, but I cannot say when. He is alive and thriving, and he is still as much of a monster as he always is. But I can tell you this, but you cannot tell it to anyone else, not even members on the architect council as I need my fathers approval. Is that alright?," Meshu asks.
"Yes, can you guys leave," Rex says to the guards so only him, Pakora, and Rex were in the room.
"In the first War, when it was coming to an end, you know the Story of what happened. It was told by a Beast-kin Dragon who had gone to check out the commotion...," Meshu says starting the Story. So I will put you in the perspective of the one watching so it is easier to understand.
———- Pov:
I was just minding my own business in my home when there was an earth shattering power. It was something to powerful to exist, so I went to see what it was. It was in the Continent section above the one with the famous school.
Upon arriving I saw two people battling it out. One was a old man, He looked to be at most 80, or younger, but I had met him before. The man in question was around 130 years old, a unnatural existence indeed. But the opponent was something even more, it was a man called Ony. He was a Beast-kin of sorts, I don't know the exact one, neither did my friend who came with me.
We saw that it was Impossible for Ony to win against the man, but could the man protect everyone. Ony was casting a Magic that would attack every single person in the world. There was no way to survive it, even if you blocked it fully. It was a magic that cast powerful beams that destroyed anything they touched.
This is what Ony had said, "I know I am not a match for you, but how about everyone else?" That was when he had started to cast the magic, I saw exactly what was going to happen, my death. But the other man would not allow that to happen, so he used a forbidden magic, as he called it.
He had said this to Ony, "No-one shall fall to your Hands!" The magic let him teleport somewhere and back in less than a trillionth of a second. He used this to block all of the attacks, and set his lifespan on fire, using up his remaining life. The magic he had used was as follows, "———- — —— —- ——-, ———- — —- ——, —— — —— —- —— — — — ——————, ———!"
Under no circumstances should anyone ever use that Magic. If they used it, they would die before they completed casting. That is the amount of Magic power it takes, and the force it puts on the body. I will never forget what happened next, the man teleported in front of me and my friend, destroying the attack. He changed a unchangeable outcome by sacrificing himself.
We could only watch as he, still where he was, teleporting away and back, grew old. He was growing hair rapidly and growing old faster than possible. That is what the spell had done, he gave away his life, for others. Ony got Frustrated and decided to use a magic to destroy the section in a attempt to kill the man and people in it.
But the man would not let that happen, he used the magic again, and moved every single person out of the section. Later there would be reports of millions of people arriving in places around the world. We, stayed, we wanted to see the outcome and help when we could.
Ony then cast another magic, it was a Magic that destroyed the continent section. Sadly I never got to see what ended up happening as both of them died...
Narrator Pov:
"They never saw the continent section again. That is how the story goes, the book that it is from is in the Architect library. But you remember the people from Jake's family, they basically found something they shouldn't. I am not allowed to say it due to what it is about and my fathers wishes," Meshu finishes.
At that everyone is left shocked and confused at the story. They cannot believe something of that magnitude could happen. Or magic like that existed, but they all knew one thing. The man who was unnamed, was Jake the Survivor, he was the only one capable of using space and time magic.
