"'Harnessing magic from the mist is equivalent to chaos magic', how hard is it to say that?!" He exclaimed.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaKNoELndD
"I'm sorry, I was too busy figuring out a way to save our life ... your life, and besides, what else were we supposed to do, just lie there and wait for the pure demon to kill us all?" His demon asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCqTNVgu2A
"Help was on the way!" Hunter countered.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8MqViUP2
"Sure, keep telling yourself that."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iknRpVDfq
"Who exactly are you?" Hunter suddenly asks.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9jXf5NXTV
"Your ancestor," he replied
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDquvp9SoZ5
"I don't believe you ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJkrU8Hfjw
"Why not?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFX89Lvw4Z
"Because, you haven't given me any reason to believe anything you say, you keep playing your cards close to your chest and expect me to just blindly follow whatever you say. Hell, you haven't even told me your name yet!"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSkFoNbe0O
"I didn't tell you my name because I don't want you going around telling people, believe me when I say this, whatever I do and say, is in your best interest, you have no idea how much I've waited for you ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKonwQPIQsa
"Why me though? I read somewhere that demons can form a deal with anyone."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpvj5TNAyz
"This isn't a deal, it's a bond. Demons can only form bonds with a select few, I can't just bond with anyone I come across." The demon stated, "Also, if you die, I die, that was part of the contract we made for the bond."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwgG0Lm7X
"Wait, I thought it was part of the contract that I forgot the contract?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8GQUiQV5f
"Yes it was but you think I'm trying to mislead you so I think it's best you know that bit," The demon explained.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6eyJRLM2
"I -- thanks for letting me know," Hunter smiled.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6oMs754wp
He throws himself on the bed, "And you can call me Waleed."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1BgBsGE6a
"Is that even your r --"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYizyx0fmv
"Are you talking to yourself?" A voice from the other side of the bars asked. Hunter looked up to see Sydney.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqxEZ8wEXZ
"Sydney," he smiled, "what are you doing here?" He asked.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQJnKxkUP2
"Miss Gibbs-White allowed me in here before the trial," she replied, "how are you?" She asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCGhv1VMFL
"Fine, I think," he replied, "how's Martin, hope he wasn't injured badly?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurw9WprEUm
"He's fine now," She replied, "so this is where they are keeping you," she said looking around.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcU0fkIW0W
"It's pretty cozy, I could see myself spending a good amount of time here," Hunter joked.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VEy3u6ERq
"I'm sure they wouldn't like that," she replied. "Seriously though, the walls look like they've seen better days, aren't they afraid you can get out with one punch?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDI7rXMO1
"The walls are being protected with some sort of spell plus I think they are some anti-magic crystals in them stopping me from using my powers."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTS2r96902
"Not that it could hold us if we wanted to escape," Waleed stated.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tekEJePNp
"Hunter ..." Sydney started softly, "do you remember what happened after the demon attacked our suite?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qQGYoyGg6
"Of course, I fought the demon ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTujGMYbuU
"Do you know how you defeated it?" She asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMKwheZSGj
"Well ... I ... To be honest --"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvtpsxU0oB
"Don't tell her about me, not yet at least," Waleed warned
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekMCDFpBrT
"Yes I do," He lied, "I --"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGHTFasS0
"Sydney, you're here?" Mr. Daniel appeared from the other side
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RHkeRC97
"Yes," she replied, "I wanted to meet with Hunter ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYk2Jdu0aO
"Okay. I think it's best you head to the court now, the trial is about to begin," Mr. Daniel stated
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlTfmZt15o
"Yes sir," she bowed before walking away, the teacher turned to Hunter, "are you ready?" He asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfs6qauNs1
"Not really ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjXBDfORKx
"It's a simple procedure, you're to stand in front of the council of mysticism with important members of the mystic world in attendance. The case would be presented to the council and you or your representative would try and prove your innocence and the council decides whether or not you would be acquitted," Mr. Daniel explained
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xXN9A2wW0
"And if I'm not?" Hunter asked despite dreading the answer.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ogNbctME
"You would be executed ..." Mr. Daniel stated, "don't worry about it too much kid, Lauren and I are on your side, we'd do everything in our power to make sure you're acquitted of all charges."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ckZhXVc5t
"And in the chance that we can't prove our innocence, we can always burst out of the place," Waleed pointed out.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqacN722WOJ
'I don't think we would fare well against the high powers of the mystic world but you do you I guess,'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pPx8wiyMM
"Just out of curiosity" Hunter began, "who reported me to the council?" He asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMbyAn3VD
Mr. Daniel was quiet at first, pondering whether or not to answer, he sighs before speaking, "We're not sure but Lauren suspects it might be the vice-chancellor of the school,"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7OYsyr2c
"Oh."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzzdWFwYp
"Hunter," Mr. Daniel said softly, "Lauren and I plan to stand in your defense but we can't do so without hearing all the details of what happened from your perspective."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFv5eRa3ks
"Tell him you don't need their help," Waleed advised
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgm17l4bTg
'I don't?'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfMpiJ8Bsv
"Of course not, you'd be better off defending yourself than having a representative."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQSInaQJwG
'Right,' Hunter looked up at Mr. Daniel, "While I appreciate your efforts, I think it's best if I stand in my defense," he stated
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPaJS16452
"Hunter ..."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYevtzYM9Sb
"Please sir," he requested.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4mx1rUZjO
Mr. Daniel sighs before giving him a small nod.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMPAuU3l1
'I'm putting my trust in you, Waleed'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW4tnHeMJK
"And you won't regret it."

Hunter was led out of the prison cell with both of his hands bound by an old chain that had traces of crystals in it.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAby2V5kmb
The guard who led him to the meeting was grinning from ear to ear as they went from the hallways to the lower chambers, "why is he smiling?" Waleed said, a hint of anger in his voice.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGx17YzXv
"Why are you smiling?" Hunter asked the guard
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnLCnUITw0
"I'm sorry," he apologized, "It's just ... I've worked at the council for three hundred years and this is the first time a council meeting is being held, I can't help but feel excited," he explained
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJt2fsrkeZ
"Well, I for one am glad you're finally getting something exciting around here," Hunter said.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFsVTwexxw
"Thanks," the guard replied. They continued silently to the upper chamber, the guard's irritating smile returning. Right before the courtroom was a hall, adorned with statues on each side, "who are these guys?" Hunter asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqCZEphufa
"Important people in our world," the guard replied, "that one's Sirae, the first vampire," the man said pointing to the first statue on the right. The figure had large ears and Long limbs but yet looked short for its figure.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUi40kkAF
"That one's Arastoso, the ancient one, the first known sorcerer," he says pointing to the first statue on the left, the figure had a long cape and leg greaves but no shirt on.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGlbF3q1Il
"This one over here is Mene, the werewolf goddess." The guard said pointing to the statue next to him.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWU3HToOU
"Will I be meeting anyone one of these guys today?" Hunter asked
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjM8qBgV5
"Just one."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWGZVq4AEH
The guard pushed the doors open, and most of the people present in the courtroom turned their attention to the entrance.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEs6yrDY29
Hunter walked into the room, following closely behind the guard feeling most if not all of the eyes present staring at him.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwUgDNUxTg
The guard led Hunter to the front, his pupil looking side to side catching sight of those present. They were possibly up to a thousand there, ranging from old, young, short, tall, fat, thin, beautiful, and ugly. Some looked like the regular human, others had extremely pale skin, and some other beings he wouldn't class under 'looked like the regular human', and he was certain he saw a large three-headed snake among the crowd.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszoh5XltRQ
Behind the first row were some of his mates from the school of mysticism, Hunter recognized most of them from the study tour, also among them was Lauren, Martin, and Sydney with Mr. Daniel nowhere to be found.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCNxJYaqvq
The guard showed Hunter to his seat, the one at the front of the rows.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIypcuRaUbt
Hunter sat in his seat and a very tall fellow wearing a tunic stood up and cleared his throat and the whisper-filled courtroom suddenly quiet down.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Gwma5ql8
"All of you are present here today as witnesses of the 14th court session in the council," the man stated, his voice broad and loud, echoing in the entire room, "The case is against Hunter Heffernan, who is charged with the use of forbidden arts. Presiding over the trial and rendering justice are ..." The man spun around facing the seats on an elevated platform in front of everyone present before he began the introductions,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡActyC0GrJn
"HIM, the God-Eater," he stated, pointing to the first man by the right. He looked like a regular man except he had a hawk head, wearing a large, golden disk on top of his head, with a serpent wrapped around the base of the disk like a crown. He held a scepter in his right hand, unmoving like a statue. Hunter felt intimidated just looking at him.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSRM8HRjnt
"Lilith, the ruler of Hel and representative of the dark mystics class." The aforementioned Lilith suddenly appeared, accompanied by a blinding light that shined from behind her. She had silver hair with multi-colored streaks and silver eyes that suddenly turned maroon.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAkXF1Ov43
Her skin was extremely pale, almost the same color as her hair. She was tall, and a very attractive woman with an authoritarian appearance, wearing an all-white glamorous sleeveless dress, the top was made with chiffon fabric and a plunge neckline that covered just enough of the bust, and the bottom was made with a silky material that hugged her hips down, both seemingly held together by a large silver belt that resembles a 'V', flaunting her hourglass figure with her waist visible along with a sliver choker.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztc8acs4Jz
Her dress also had what looked like wings, made of fur. She looked like she was dressed for a fashion show and not a court session.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpzyW6OBu2
"Is -- is she going somewhere after this?" Waleed mused
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt872wpfHYV
'Not a good time to make a joke'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMTxvcT3d
"Hey, you said and I quote 'I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now'" Waleed stated
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84kk9kXPBN
'What do you mean 'about to die', I thought you said we have this case under control, isn't that why you told me to not have Mr. Daniel represent me?'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm0eUFCH1r
"I never said we have this under control," Waleed replied, "I said you'd be better off defending yourself than having a representative."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46LtG0pCsS
"Hecate, the Queen of the witches and representative of the sorcerer class."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5FaGIcAF1
Hecate had long dark hair as well as eyes, she wore nothing as classy as her dark mystics' counterpart, donning a dark green jumpsuit and a black cape.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwuoO1Wpjf
"Conan, the King and representative of the fairies."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO92gm8SRs
Conan had an extremely muscular build, with long golden hair and golden eyes.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mLqewDao
"Mene, the goddess of the moon and representative of the shifters."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJIR659b1M
Mene was an attractive, light-skinned, and average-height woman. She had long gray hair, blue eyes, blue lipstick, and blue painted nails and wore a deep blue slit dress.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sx816WlGo
"...and finally Count Dracula, Lord of the vampires and representative of the Reanimates."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcDI14QgoA
"Count Who?" Waleed wondered
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3CoHNU0zv
"Dracula ... He's real?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsl5mEUy38
Dracula had red eyes, and his eyebrows were sparse and furrowed, making him seem annoyed. He had long dark hair stretching a little past his shoulder and a Van Dyke style beard though his goatee was slightly longer. He wore a cloak whose outside were black and inside red that covered his black tuxedo.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtr5PbBGKJ
'Dracula looks like an older version of me with my hair down, you think he is also your descendant?'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqp6Pf1Qf3
"Maybe," Waleed stated, "I did have a lot of children from different women."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6S3d5ge4B
'That is more information than I needed to know'
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBv9jHBM3
"These six make up the council of mysticism." The man with the loud voice stated. He turned back to face the court, "Arguing against Mr. Heffernan are Santa Claus and Myrddin Wyllt also known as Merlin."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoc58GlQ7r
'What the hell?!'
