Chapter 78

• I groaned my ears ringing as I struggled to my feet. Once on my feet I was hit by a wave of dark magic knocking me to the ground. I tried to fight through the powers but it was overwhelming. I winced as it was forced into my body running through my veins. I felt it changing me from within. Wincing as I rolled onto my side I pictured my family before attempting to get up. I fought through the pain getting up. I looked around seeing several Magi standing just past the edge of the clearing. I looked at Eric who was unconscious on the ground blood dripping from his neck.
• "Sapphire," Nathan called but I ignored him taking several shaky steps before collapsing next to Eric. I felt tears pour down my face as I cupped his face in my glowing hands. I released my magic into him healing him completely. I wasn't going to let the Magi win. I looked into the group anger filling my body. I stood this time easily calling all the magic I could to myself before launching it at them. I watched it stop inches from hitting them before it fizzled out.
• "Sapphire," one Magi said as I stood tall and unafraid of them. "Join us."
