Suddenly, much to Aaralon’s surprise, Tar’oth smiled and her eyes glowed eerie red.
“Wrong.”
A wave of air hit the young wizard and slammed him against the wall behind him with such force that the pain from the hit almost made him lose consciousness. He fell down to the floor on his knees struggling to stay conscious. After what looked like hours but was only minutes he finally recovered enough too start thinking normally again. He looked up and saw Tar’oth smirking at him.
“What’s wrong, boy? Am I too powerful for you?”
"Legkem Ohmos!" Aaralon chanted in an attempt to banish the imp.
“A ra dis!” The demon responded. To the young wizard’s horror his spell was canceled by the imp, and not only this, but a protective shield surrounded her should he try banishing her again.
“Nice try. But it is too late, I am afraid. You no longer have the power to banish me.”
“What do you mean?” Aaralon asked while struggling to get up. He could now think and speak clearly, but his body was still not responding the way he wanted it to.
“It seems you overlooked one little detail – with the increase in my size comes an increase in my power as well. It is because you didn’t cancel the spell I made you cast before casting the spell to increase my size. Instead you used it as a base for your spell, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I was relying on you being prepared for my little trick and trying to turn the tables on me. This is what you get for playing with summoning spells without the required knowledge and power. Now you are mine. I can do with you whatever I want.”
“You bitch! You tricked me! You’ll regret this, I promise you!”
“Oh, really? Go ahead then, boy, make me regret my trickery.” Tar’oth said in a mocking tone.
“I will.” Aaralon started gathering every little bit of magic power he had hoping it will be enough to defeat the imp and her new power. Because if it wasn’t he was in BIG trouble.
Can Aaralon defeat Tar’oth or is she too powerful for him? Or perhaps someone interrupts the fight? Or maybe they reach an agreement? |
