The two men where wizards were from the elemental spells they were casting, one used lighting blast and the other fire-based attacks. While dodging attacks I was trying to find everyone. Losing focus cost me as I was struck with a lightning bolt to the chest. As I struck the far wall being thrown back by the lightning bolt I found the girls. Paulette, Reign and Sasha were knocked out. While Katherine and the succubus Zeva were being restrained by lightning chains. Jessica rushed over to me.
"Eddie are you okay?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah I'm okay, but that hurt. Stay here and keep an eye on Paulette for me." I told her.
As I got back up Ian was holding his own. From the other room twenty or so bodies came running out most covered Ian but two came my way.
"Master!..." they both said
Lucky for me Kim and Alejandra were in spirit form and saw everything. They explain that when Ian and I went into the other room the two wizards attacked. A spell one of the wizards used put everyone to sleep except Katherine and Zeva, so the other wizard bound them with lightning chains.
"Okay I need to help Ian, Alejandra see if you can break the chains and free them, then protect Jessica and the others. Kim your with me since this body is a loaner fight them, you can't get hurt since your body's back at the motel. Mostly distract them." I said then kissed her before she ran of.
I fed any ghost that wanted it, some of my power and had them attack the wizards. Now they couldn't do much but keeping the wizards from being able to spell cast. Ian's slaves weren't faring any better, the fire mage was burning anybody that got near him and Ian was down to only four slaves. Thanks to the necromancer knowledge that Ian had given me I was able to use spirit force to attack the lightning mage. I was able to knock him close to his partner and light his robe on fire. He threw it off and I was shocked to see my dad standing there.
"Dad!" Was all I got out be for he sent a bolt of lightning at me.
I watch in slow motion as the man who raised me, my dad, showed no remorse as he sent a killing blow at me. I could see the hatred on his face and the glee he felt thinking he was going to kill me. At the last second I saw Ian my real dad step in front of me and take the kill shot. As he fell into my arms he looked back at me and smiled. My real dad died protecting his son and I saw his spirit leave his body.
"Nooooo!!!" Reign screamed.
From behind me, Reign who had woken up, witness the man she thought was her father die. She reached out and the lightning mage started to rot till nothing was left but a dried out corpse. Using the distraction the fire mage went on the attack sending a storm of fire balls in all directions. My shield blocked most of the damaged but I was a little singed. Reign was being protected by Zeva; the succubus was a demon so fire had no effect on her.
"Reign are you okay?" I asked, but got no response. "Zeva is Reign okay?" I asked the demon.
'No, sir Eddie I think she is broken." Zeva replied.
It was then the wolves rushed in, there was five in this pack and even in wolf form I recognized Tiana and Simone, my guess the other three were the group from the bar. As they charged in the fire mage brought out a short sword to defend against the wolves. He was holding his own bit ultimately; he was out numbered. Then used a magic tool and opened a portal, I thought he was running away but instead four more council mages come through and took the offensive. The wolves were soon restrained, next Katherine, Sasha and Paulette subdued and last Kim, Alejandra, Jessica, my mother and the last two of Ian slave were sleep spelled. Two mages faced me and two face Reign, the fire mage was recuperating. I opened my power to see my third ghost back after I showed her to her daughters. She was above the body my mother had been trapped in.
"Please help me." I asked, but she shook her head no
I gave her some of my power, she reached down and removed the blind fold that was covering the face. There was instant recognition as she looked at the body, she looked over at me and nodded her head. I put her spirit in the body and did a mental link like the others. When she sat up one of the mages attacking me took notice and turned to her. The mage created a fire javelin and threw it at her, but all she did was raise her hand to stop it. She then shifted into a wolf; she was the most beautiful wolf I'd ever thought could exist. Covered in a grey blueish fur and had white eyes, even in wolf form you could see her femineity and grace. She then let out the loudest howl I have ever heard. All the mages stopped attacking and three activated portals and left, the remaining mage kneeled before the wolf and the original fire mage tried to attack her with his fire sword, only to be mauled by the wolf. She was able to bite his throat snapping his neck and killing him. As she shifted back to her human form Tiana and Simone ran up and hugged her, the other wolves along with my mother and Paulette were kneeling.
"You are a fine man young necromancer, our should I call you master Eddie." She joked.
"Just who are you?... " I asked.
"My name is Claudia Greystorm. I was a founding member on the magic council. Your grandfather tried to save me when I was murder. I never knew he rescued my body and didn't want to be put in another so I wandered. I watched as a new necromancer came to power, some were murdered, others surrendered their power, and some like your father went into hiding. We need to address the council but first you need to help your sister. At the mention of Reign I turned to see her huddled on the floor next to Ian. As I walked over to her, she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
