Jonothan grinned broadly at me, he stood behind Zariaha, his hands resting on her shoulders.
I stood trying to catch my breath, Harley rushed up behind me and grabbed my right shoulder, his blaster centered in my back. “I should have know.” I muttered still heaving from the run.
“Did you thin dat maybe I be too busy for dis?” Jonothan’s grin turned to an evil smile.
“Something like that, yes.” I muttered down-heartedly.
“Well you right.” there was something in his voice that made my skin turn white. He moved his hands off Zariaha, “I be VERY busy wit Sertoff.” his eyes glowed an almost blinding shade of electric blue.
Oh my… Sertoff. I pushed Harley against the wall as I spun around and raced down the stairs. My heart was pounding profusely, it seemed as if the world was moving so slowly and the only sound I heard was my own pounding heart. Pounding and pounding, faster with every step I took till it seemed like it would explode right out of my chest. Then I saw a bright light, I narrowed my eyes and raised my hand to my head as I looked up. Harley had left the door open! I rushed through the courtyard, through the hall, down the stairs…
Sertoff was surrounded by a ball of bright white light, he was kneeling though. His arms holding his sword straight outward, aiming at Jonothan. And then I noticed the beam of blinding white light emitting from the point of his sword. I blinked, too late it burned a slight shadow in my eyes, oh well it will go away soon enough.
“Did you come to save him ma amie?” Jonothan stood with some form of small shield. It was light, blue light. And he’s defeating the sword with that little bit of light.
My mouth sort of hung open a little as I glanced up at his face. He’s so calm, as if nothing is going on at all.
He grinned at me.
I blinked and stood straighter, “Look, I’m not going to defeat you. Just would you please let my people go, be a pal huh?” I gave him my best try to be reasonable look.
“You thin I just gonna give em back to you jus like dat huh? After all you done put me through?!?“
I glanced at the ground and scratched my neck, well what else was there to do? It’s not like it’s an even match or anything, hey I’m only human. He’s immortal, how can you assassinate something that can’t be killed? I’m not wrong here, I have no “Special” powers to speak of, he’s a Wizard. I really hate being bested, but, there’s always somebody out there who’s better than you. “I’m stepping down Jonothan.” I glared at him. “The game’s over, you won.”
His voice turned charming as his expressions seemed to often, “Dat’s always nice ta know Jas.” he smiled. Then I felt all my hopes rush down the drain as he changed his looks to slight anger. “But it too late for dat now. You see, wit every ounce of energy Sertoff applies, I grow weaker. An I don feel like losin today.” he turned his glance at Sertoff.
I took a few steps closer and held out my left hand , you know the way you do when you want someone to calm down.
“I’m sorry Jas,” he sounded slightly regretful. “But it for yo’r own good.”
