Chapter 35.2- Doom Days

The lava came at me like a tsunami and I stared at it unflinchingly. If this creature thought it could wield the element better than I then it chad inputer thing coming. I spun my wand in a tight circle, mentally reciting a long incantation and keeping my focus clear. The mini hurricane shot straight at the approaching tsunami, gathering it in its pull and allowing me to toss it to the side like a conductor before an orchestra.

“My turn” I said with a savage smile, but the creature clearly did not understand me as it attempted to attack instead. It turned, a giant tail moving in a horizontal arc in my direction. I slashed my wand in a sharp motion, briging it down from above my head to pointing at the ground, sending a powerful Egyptian cutting curse from the Black library that separated the elemental from its tail with no difficulty and allowed the shortened stump pass by without coming close to me. I twirled my wand, forcing the ground around me to raise up two pillars that I transifigured into monkeys that jumped all around the elemental, forcing its attention away from me,

I weaved my wand from this way to that, thanking the heavens that half the prerequisite for the spell had already been created. The Yoruba people from Africa had legends of famous juju men who could beseech the gods to hold back the rain. Of course, those juju men had been nothing other than primitive magical with little inkling as to their true nature and they had weaved primitive magic to hold the rain back. What I was going to do here was the exact opposite of that.

“Ọ̀run ṣí, kí omi rò!

Ọ̀ya gbọ́, kí omi rò!

Òṣun mú ẹ̀bùn omi wá, kí omi rò!

Ṣàngó wẹ̀ ayé ní àrá, kí omi rò!

Kí Ilẹ̀ Ọba yìí lè tútù, kí omi rò!”

I sung more than I actually spoke as I weaved the ancient magic into being. When I pointed my wand at the sky, it was a single bolt of blue force that left it, and no sooner had that bolt hit the sky than the spell began to work its magic— literally. The thunderclouds darkened even further and then with little warning, the sky began to weep with no end in sight. Rain fell, cooling through the ground and making everything loads more comfortable. The lava sizzled with every raindrop that attempted to repel them. The rain was getting more intense though, so I had no doubts that all would yield in time.

The elemental roared, irritated at the challenge to its control over the arena, mayhaps or maybe it was just roaring because he’d finally managed to catch the second monkey in his grip.
