Chapter 3 - MAGE

Tyson's tears started and he did not know how to stop them." Mother, is that really you?" Tyson asked.

" Yes it is my boy. Now please pay attention. Currently, you are the only one who can see me but I suggest you pay attention to the fight before you."

Tyson looked in front of him and the wolves were just about to start their fight. The alpha pounced baring his fangs at the grey one. The grey one, TG, dodged and bit the alpha at it's neck. The alpha struggled before glowing a radiant red. TG was stabbed in the mouth and blood oozed out. He jumped back to reveal a red spike on the alpha's neck. TG growled but coughed out some blood. The alpha now looked confident with himself." Should I be doing something?" Tyson asked.

" No, just watch. He can do this," she said confidently.

TG looked at the alpha and growled. His fur started to move in a wave like manner. His entire body radiated with a blue glow. A phantomized form of TG appeared above him and bared his fangs at the alpha. The alpha howled at TG and bloody spikes moved towards TG. TG growled and a wave of blue aura come off of TG and the other wolves started to whimper. They then took off in fear. Even the alpha stopped attacking and took off. Once they had all taken off, TG fell to the ground ready to succumb to his injuries. Tyson rushed over to check on him. There was a piercing hole in his upper snout and a lot of blood was coming out." His bleeding to death. What should I do mother? You have to help me, please," begged Tyson.

" I'm sorry my son but I can't help you..," she began.

" Nooo," Tyson cried out

" Only you can help him," she said.

" What... What do you mean?" Tyson asked.

" If you focus the energy from your necklace, which is being channelled by your rosary, you can perform what some would call light magic," explained the spirit.

" But vampires can't perform light magic. It's impossible," Tyson retorted.

" My son, remember your heritage and you will see what I mean. My time here is up, follow your heart and seek my father," she said as the ethereal spirit went back inside Tyson.

Tyson looked at his mother then came to his senses. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he slowly breathed out. He relaxed all his thoughts and only had one thing in mind. Saving the wolf. His mental space was but a pitch blackness with not even him becoming visible and then he heard her voice say," No matter what,you are more than the sum of your parts."

The black space glew a radiant white light. Tyson opened his eyes which now shone with the same white divinity. His aura exploded with the divine light and covered the wolf. The wolf levetate due to the light as he healed up from the earlier injury. Once the injury closed up, he fell back to the ground and lay there. Tyson fell on his but on the edge of the cliff and sighed in exhaustion. He glanced at the wolf and saw that his condition was now stable. He was glad. He put his mind to rest when he was struck in the chest by a throwing knife. It struck close to his heart but it punctured his lungs.

Tyson looked at it and knew where it came from. He looked before him and smiled. A silhouette of a hooded assassin appeared from the forest. Four more appeared from behind the first and they strut into the open. It was the crimson nights." Crimson night captain, Somran. I feel honored that you came to end my pitiful existence," said Tyson as he chuckled.

" It's only because of your status. Only a high class soldier has the right to end a high class noble's life," said Somran raising a sword.

" Hahaha, I feel no regret towards you. I deserve what is coming to me. Do as you wish with my life," Tyson said as he noticed a bright light coming from the far east, he smiled.

Somran looked at him crossly. He approached Tyson cautiously. His sword shone a familiar color as he approached his prey. When he was in striking range, he raised his sword to stab when the wolf jumped up out of nowhere. The vampire captain was caught off guard as the wolf held his in his ethereal jaws. Tyson smirked," Good work TG," as he laughed.

Somran was distracted and so he did not see what was coming. Somran grabbed the wolf and threw him to the ground. In his rage filled state, he attempted to stab the wolf. Tyson got up and blocked it . He was sta bed in the back. The wolf looked at him in pain but he smiled at the wolf and said," Don't worry, his time is up."

Out of nowhere, the entire peak was illuminated by the sunrise. Somran was burned by the flush of light and staggered back in pain. He released his sword as he turned to ash. Tyson staggered up as he looked at the others in the forest. He spotted Neil's silhouette in the forest and knew what to say." Thank you all for everything but just so you know, I ain't dying from your attacks. Chase me to the ends of the earth if you want but I ain't dying till my old man is a pile of salt," Tyson said as he held the wolf tight and fell of the cliff.

Neil was about to jump in and save him when the general next to him told him that there was a river at the bottom of the cliff. He held off and the duo took off back to the castle. The crimson nights mourned over his the death of their captain as our hero landed in the river. The river carried him and the wolf away but he did not have the strength to resist the current. He sooner passed out due to blood loss. The wolf carried him with the wave hoping to find someone who can help. The first vampire in history who became a MAGE
