HALWRIGHT SCHOOL OF SUPERNATURALS - Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Paige floated above water, the waves were solid under his feet as if the water itself was one being with him, his hair shimmer purple in the sunlight, his eyes were a dark violet storm as if reflecting the power he was controlling, atop his head was a crown made of clear water, it sparkled along with his hair, he was the true sight of a matriarch and king. "Your highness forgive us for our treachery but we must do this." A lone figure spoke as he appeared by the sandy beach along with hundred others, they were all armed and ready to fight him.
"I do not show mercy but to those who shall lay down their weapons and choose not to fight, I will be merciful." The siren replied as he looked out to the lone figure, none of them replied only snickers echoed among the large crowd. "You are not worthy to rule the banshees or the sirens, and we are here to prove it!" One yelled from the crowd making Paige chuckle as he moved his hand ever so gently over the water. "Heathen God: Calypso's Wrath." It was silence before the storm as the water began to ripple around slowly and clouds gathered in the sky as if a storm were brewing. "Bring down thine enemy, oh Heathen God." Paige mumbled as his form burst into a flash of purple lights.
In a flash purple lightning hit the ocean, it came as a barrage as it reached the land, multiple cyclones had gathered and weaved their way onto the masses, it was as if all the elements of the sea were releasing their wrath on the platoon, they couldn't fight back, they couldn't shield themselves as lightning hailed from the sky, water giants rose from the ocean and ripped through them. The one who had spoken first was standing on the water balancing with sound waves just as Paige appeared in front of him. "You led them to certain loss." Paige called out as he walked on water in a regal manner, he was gliding over it. "I-I didn't, how—." The boy muttered but his words never went far, Paige had begun to sing and his song summoned creatures that terrified the boy. "Behold my true strength." From the water dragons appeared, they seemed more alive even with their watery bodies, the matriarch of the sirens sang his song and the dragons attacked the boy in a furious salvo.
No longer was there an army of mystics, they all laid on the ground, others had fled from such terror because none of it seemed real. "You've won." A neo beast called out as he floated in the air, he wasn't large like the normal ones Paige had seen, rather he was more human only with large horns on his head. "I have." The matriarch replied as he stood on the water with a smile.

"We agreed not to hold back our true strength if we were to fight an army as large as this one." Theo asserted as he looked at the boy who used to bully him when they were little, Esteban scoffed looking at Theo, in his eyes, Theo would always be weak end of story. "Don't be so noble and wise Theo, Halwright will fall." The nobleman Esteban replied as he looked at the next king of the fae. "Not today." Theo replied as he looked at Esteban and his army,  he flicked his fingers, and a cocoon wrapped around him, a green energy pulse slithered from the ground and into him, no one saw it happen but when it did they all felt it.
"Fae Script: Memory Of Old: Moorewood Summoning." The fae was surrounded by four circles all made up of different runes, they had a green glow that pulsed as if they were a beating heart, Theo clenched his fists and made an X with them. "Release my children and let their vengeance be quenched." Theo announced as he broke the X, Esteban has readied himself for a fight along with the small army behind him but he didn't expect whatever was to happen, Theo had summoned every enemy he had faced and killed, their bodies were made of wood but no one could see it and each one of them had the power that made the small army want to turn back.
"Face me now Esteban." Theo called out as a smile graced his lips, it wasn't one of amusement, it was pure hatred and malice. "Leave them clinging to life." And with that Theo's moore wood children scattered and began facing the army that stood in the forbidden forest with him, only Esteban remained frozen where he stood, a rune burning into his neck like a brand. "I am not evil but I will not stand to watch you destroy my home, Halwright will not fall, not tonight." Theo announced as he took off into the sky.
"Fae Rite: Blood Of Old: Nature's Carnage." A sphere began growing atop his palm, it grew bigger and bigger as it drew power from nature all around the forest, green sparks were emitted from the sphere as well as numerous explosions inside as if it were a core ready to explode. Esteban stood frozen, he could only witness as Theo reigned over him and that's when he finally understood, they had no chance of defeating Halwright, not with numbers and not with power they prided themselves in, a green explosion overtook the whole forbidden forest, the army Esteban was leading had been wiped out in that blow along with Esteban himself.
Theo flew down panting heavily, even though he was strong wielding his power still took a toll on him, the trees moved to assist the fae in his descent, it was surprising to see how the trees and nature had not been affected but those who stood to fight Theo had been wiped out so easily. Theo looked up just in time to see a golden man with beast like horns vanish from the sky, he wondered who it was.

A roar reverberated all around the enchanted forest, it shook the earth and those who stood on it, most of them were shifters who were growling and snarling at the abomination in the sky, but they wouldn't dare make a move toward it, half of them had already submitted to the abomination in fear and respect of his power, how could they stand against such power. "Get up you weaklings, he's an abomination and we will not let him live!" The boy who had yelled was much similar to Axe, Tate who floated in the air knew him.
Tate remained silent though he knew the werewolf leading the packs of shifters waiting to attack him, he didn't have anything to say, he had wanted to show them his wolf side in hopes that maybe they would accept him, maybe they would accept his rule, but he didn't have their love, he had their fear, and he would rule with their fear, so his silence was the only privilege he granted them, he didn't want Axe to get word that his brother had been killed by his ex, that would be wrong but he had no choice.
Ten pillars appeared around Tate, they moved anti clockwise around his large ten tail kitsune form, he had no intention of killing them but he would defend his home and the family he now had, his pillars changed direction as he aimed them toward the space in which the mystics occupied and readied to fight him, he released them like bolts from a catapult and each one hit the mark he wanted which was the space behind the army, every pillar dug into the ground with accuracy and once they hit the ground surrounding the troop they began to glow.
"I rule with fear because you have left me no other choice." Tate mumbled as his white fur was littered with black marks that also appeared on the pillars and as they glowed simultaneously the shifters noticed and began to retreat but it was too late, a white barrier appeared in between the spaces the pillars had left, they were trapped and Tate had released his attack, whereas light flashed brightly, this was the opposite, pitch black matter flashed and it consumed them all as they were surrounded by the pillars. "Tate!" The boy who had called for his death screamed but it was too late, the blackness exploded in a pure bolt of darkness that caused thunder to rumble in the sky.
Once Tate's attack dissipated the golden barrier over the enchanted forest began to shimmer and it's light moved onto the plant life and creatures that surrounded the entirety of the place, nature through it had been destroyed bloomed once again as if it were breathing and this made Tate smile as he nodded to the golden beast in front of him.

Lario stood in the background of all the fights observing as if nothing were wrong at all, he slipped into a white portal and appeared in enemy territory, there he found Nico sitting at a table with a half turned smile. "I'm guessing you're here to kill me." He asserted as he turned to face the witch with almost white hair. "I'm sure it wouldn't have ended up like this but at times there aren't options." Lario replied with a somber voice that made Nico chuckle.
"For what it's worth I would do the same if I were you, I supported a monster after all." The witch had resigned to his fate and Lario knew it, he hoped he would forgive himself in another life. "Tell Mael that I'm sorry to have ruined his relationship with Ben." Nico added as Lario held out his hand and static buzzed off it. "Will it be painless?" Nico asked. "Only if you struggle." Lario replied as the witch in front of him closed his eyes, in a swift motion Nico's heart was ripped out and appeared in Lario's palm, the witch sighed. "For the love of a mate." He mumbled before taking a bite of the heart absorbing the mana as he did, he slipped into a white portal yet again and found himself by the statues that lined Halwright's pathway to the Great Hall.
"Avit valso entrat omil phetina: Guardians of Halwright I summon you, our home is threatened, we need you." The witch mumbled as lime green mixed with blood red energy converged in his palm and burst out to the stone statues, they answered his call and began to drop to the ground and move by their own will, a scream rippled throughout Halwright and the mirrors flashed a bright white reflecting whatever had happened. "He knows." The golden man beast spoke beside Lario who only nodded. "He brought this to himself, let him suffer the consequence." Lario replied as the mirrors gave way for the giant guardians who were running at full speed to meet the head on attack from the enemy's side.
"I know this was hard for you but war must always have casualties, more often than not, his knowledge of what Ben could do was simply a liability and it had to be eradicated." The golden man relayed as wings sprouted from his back and he flew into the sunset, the shadow children replaced him as they stood behind Lario waiting for him to speak. "Its done, get on to the second stage of the plan." The witch asserted as he saw the metallic wings of his mate pass overhead, he was doing this for him and his home, he would do anything for Carter, even kill.
The shadow demons nodded and vanished into thin air and appeared in the neo beast realm along with Lario, they had gone directly to where Alfin and Taylor were, both incubi lay on beds half conscious. "You know what to do." Lario instructed and the five moved to a point on the bed and held the other's hand. "Spirits in the depths, we call upon you, Goddess of our making we call upon you, give thy brethren power to wield as they were meant: Auvium saloet milva estendere phatur." A crimson orb with black runes appeared at the mid point of the bed, it moved from its position into Taylor and Alfin, the two were engulfed by the crimson glow, it healed and restored them but Lario knew for the child of the house of Venus, it was more than healing.
Taylor opened his eyes just as his wings appeared and wrapped around him with crimson markings that were similar to the black ones on the orb, he didn't say anything, he just vanished from his spot, and the six who were in the room smiled, those who wanted to fight the incubus had no idea what they were about to face.
