12 Chapter 12: Her Deadly Mistake (1/2)
[Blood]
After a long day of school, Ivery sat on her couch and laid down on the soft pillow. After she took a bath and got off all of the dirt and quicksand off of her skin and out of her hair, she needed some rest. She recalled the events from her day and replayed them in her head, she didn't know how to thank Luther properly for all that he did for her. Even though he wasn't supposed to intervene with her assessments, no one would dare question his decisions or punish him for not following through with the protocall, people that failed the evaluations were to be put to immediate death for not being strong enough. But Ivery was an apparent exception to that rule.
Was it because she was his fiance? No..that couldn't be it....
When she was sinking in the quicksand, for some odd reason she couldn't teleport or use her magic, she sensed that the sand was fused with a strong magical block, making sure whoever fell in the quicksand wouldn't be able to escape by any means. Being that her magical prowess was able to be blocked, it had to have been Luther who set up the magic block. It makes sense that the only person who could match up to her infinite abilities, could block it off. If it was anyone else who set the magic block, she would've had a chance to get out of the quicksand.
Ivery soon fell asleep, all she wanted was to sleep after her 'eventful' day.
....
Luther sat in a chair without the slightest ounce of care within him,
”Why did my daughter have to die!” A noble woman from a respected household shouted at Luther as she was held back by the guards
”A lot of people died, I'll tell you why she died if you state a name” Luther smiled
”Her name was Ellis!” The woman gritted her teeth
”Ellis?...Oh no, I'm sorry I don't remember..I just simply killed whoever failed, I didn't care for the names” Luther shrugged
”How dare you!” She pointed her finger directly at Luther and a blue light shone from her finger and shot straight for Luther
He held a single hand up and caught the attack with his bare hand, the woman stood there with fear when she saw that he single handedly caught her strongest offensive attack. With no words further said, Luther suddenly appeared in front of her, the guards stepped back within his presence.
He put his hands on both of her exposed shoulders, her skin under his hands started to rot, she screamed as she felt the pain of her body rotting to the bone. Soon enough the rot spread across her body and spread from limb to limb. Her body was reduced to the state of a corpse that had been dead for several years, her rotting body fell to the ground, the stench of the decaying body made the guards in the room gag.
”Have someone clean that up” Luther told the guards before he left the room
Ivery's eyes slowly opened when she felt her nose being tickled. She rubbed her nose to relieve the irritation.
”Are you up now?” Loki looked down at Ivery as he moved his tail from her face
”What's so important that you have to wake me up?” Ivery sat up and stretched
”It's about time that you learn some more abilities..” Loki said
”Really?” Ivery was wide awake now
”Yes” Loki nodded
”Let's go outside” Loki hopped down from the couch
.....
Ivery stood in the middle of a nearby forest with Loki,
”Why do you keep taking me to forests to practice?” Ivery asked as she looked around the dark forest
”It's an open space and you don't have to worry about the destruction that you'll definitely cause to the castle” Loki stated
”And monsters are commonly found in this particular forest” Loki smiled
”M-Monsters...?” Ivery looked around
”What's the best way to improve your fighting abilities than to battle a living creature?” Loki said
”What type of monsters...are in this forest?” Ivery felt uneasy, as if she was being watched
”Humanoids” Loki grinned
”Humanoids...? Does that mean..” Ivery's uneasiness rose from a ten to a solid fifty
”Yes, these monsters take the form of humans” Loki confirmed her assumption
.
.
”You....smell....delicious..” A raspy deep voice said from a near distance
”Who's there?!” Ivery looked all around her
A woman stepped out of the darkness, her messy long green hair touched the ground, her eyes glowing with a bright orange color. Her teeth and nails were as sharp as razor blades, her skin was extremely pale. Behind her stepped out another, his appearance highly resembled her's, the only difference between them was their gender.
”We're starving...do you mind sparing a leg or two...?” The man growled
”I'd rather keep all of my body parts..” Ivery stepped back
”Then we'll just take it by killing you!” The woman charged straight for Ivery
”Ivery..try to connect to your infinite abilities, you'll know how to use most of them once you connect to them, this is so I don't have to keep telling you about the abilities you already have access to” Loki said as he looked at the humanoid running straight for Ivery
”How!?” Ivery dodged the woman as she swung at her
”Close your eyes and put a lot of magical energy towards your brain!” Loki shouted
”That sounds dangerous!” Ivery continued to dodge the woman's attacks
”Just do it!” Loki shouted out
Ivery closed her eyes and just as she closed her eyes, the woman managed to hit Ivery, and Ivery was launched back into a tree behind her. Her back was in intense pain,
Ivery focused the flow of her magical energy towards her brain, all within her, the magic flow of her infinite ability traveling through her entire brain's system, her magic entered the system of her brain and rewired her brain to open access the door to her infinite abilities.
When Ivery opened her eyes, she was floating in a dark room, with no ground, walls or ceiling to be seen. In front of her was a glowing pink door wrapped with golden chains. A giant golden lock was in the center of the door and in Ivery's hands was a giant golden key.
Ivery inserted the key in the lock and turned the key. In a flash, the chains around the door shattered and scattered into pieces. The door swung open and pulled Ivery inside.
...
Ivery's eyes opened again and her back ached, she saw the woman walk up to her and her nails grew longer and the veins in her hands bulged out and her mouth dripped with saliva.
Ivery's head was filled with incredible knowledge, she currently knew all of the abilities she had access to and all of the ones she needed to gain access to. Ivery disappeared from her spot into a golden pink mist, and within seconds, she was in front of the humanoid woman.
”....Golden palm” Ivery held her right hand back
Ivery's hands glowed and her hand forcefully pushed against the woman's chest and sent her body flying straight back into a far away tree.
Green blood spilled out of her mouth as she fell unconscious.
”Sister!” The male humanoid yelled out
”You'll pay for that!” He ran straight for Ivery with his sharp nails elongated
”Golden lightning...” Ivery held her hand up and pointed at the charging humanoid
A bright golden light struck down and struck the unexpecting humanoid. His screams were heard throughout the forest, definitely alarming all of the other sleeping or roaming monsters.
The lightning continued to strike him down, no matter where he ran off to.
”Wind control” Ivery pointed at the humanoid who was lying on the ground
The air around them became stronger with every minute that past, like a brutal wind storm. The leaves on the trees began to rip off from the branches. Animals ran out from the forest, and monsters that were lurking nearby came out of hiding.
The male humanoid was lifted up in the air and suddenly the powerful wind spun until it formed into a tornado. The humanoid was sucked into the tornado along with his unconscious sister.
The tornado shot them out up high into the sky, they shot up so far that you'd mistake them for a pair of shooting stars.
The tornado wafted away and the destruction of the forest was unimaginable.
The monsters all surrounded Ivery and Loki, they all growled and hissed, their mouths all watering for the delicious meal in front of their eyes.
”Blood moon” A voice sounded out behind Ivery
The bright white moon filled with a bloody red color, the dark sky slowly turned a bright red shade, reflecting off of the moon. The blood red glow of the moon shone down on the forest and casted a brilliant red shade across the whole area.
Before they could realize what was happening to them they were all instantly reduced to steaming blobs of their own blood under the red moonlight. As soon as the red moonlight hit them, their fates were sealed.
Ivery quickly turned around and saw the face she knew all too well.
”Luther..” Ivery felt complete when she saw the only person in this world that she yearned for
”What are you doing here?” Luther walked over to her
”I brought her here to train” Loki answered Luther's question
”This forest is dangerous..for people with low magical prowess” Luther said as his eyes scanned Ivery for any wounds
”I don't have low magical prowess” Ivery said
”But your powers are limited, there are powerful hungry monsters waiting and searching for prey” Luther put both of his hands on her cheeks
He looked into her glowing golden red eyes, and was instantly captivated by their beauty.
The golden tint in her eyes flickered until it disappeared completely, leaving pure crimson red that shone like a freshly polished ruby, the red moonlight made her eyes even more beautiful.
”I'll train you” Luther kissed her forehead
”Train me..?” Ivery asked
”Yes, prepare your best attack and aim it at me” Luther instantly disappeared from his spot in front of her and appeared several feet away from her
”If you say so” Ivery searched her brain for a good attack to prove to Luther that she wasn't weak
”Mother nature” Ivery held her hands out
The wind around her twisted and lifted her up in the air, and with a single snap all of the tree's surrounding the area grew larger in size and the root's of the tree's broke and teared out from the ground and headed straight for Luther, the ground underneath Luther cracked and created the sense of an earthquake. The root's of the tree's twisted and entwined in each other and before the root's could touch him, they turned to dust.
”You can do better than this Ivery, what else do you have” Luther grinned
”Animation..” Ivery's eyes glowed brighter and the tree's slowly grew arms and legs and ripped themselves out of the ground and they all rushed towards Luther
Luther smiled and jumped up, cracking and shattering the ground beneath him even more. He hovered above all of the incoming tree's and clapped his hands three times and suddenly the red moon above everything opened it's single eye, blood dripped down out of the giant red eye that menacingly looked down upon the forest.
All of the walking and running tree's were incinerated into ash under the moon's eye.
Ivery sucked her teeth and dropped down to the ground, landing on her two feet.
Luther's hands were covered in a black mist, he snapped his fingers and the black mist shot towards Ivery.
”Deflection” Ivery held her hand up and a golden pink glow covered her hand
As soon as the mist hit Ivery, it was immediently sent back towards Luther. Luther's hands absorbed the black mist and he gradually came back down to the ground and stood several feet away from Ivery.
Ivery ran towards Luther and swung her fist down at him, he dodged her attack and her fist hit the ground. The cracked ground was crushed from her punch, the grass and dirt flew everywhere, the solid rock was crushed into many chunks or it was shattered into shards. The ground also vibrated and the sound of the crushing ground could be heard a hundreds mile away.

”Impressive..” Luther commended her
”Please stay still..” A long golden pink whip materialized in Ivery's hand
”I'll have to deny your request” Luther smiled
Ivery swung the whip down at Luther, he moved away from the whip and as he did, the whips impact with the ground was devastating, the whip was so powerful, it cracked the ground and split it in half, the ground continued to split through the forest and the tree's and everything around it fell in the continuously splitting ground.
”Interesting” Luther looked down into the new giant crack that Ivery just made in the world
