Chapter 30.1- Doom Days
Added 2025-04-10 00:01:50 +0000 UTCDropping to the floor was a mistake, I thought as the woman jumped right on top of me and began to bring the knife down for what Ould have been a decisive blow. I bucked like a bull, and with inhuman strength, I managed to flip us so I as on top of her with my back. I rolled off of her in a second, missing the knife she tried to ram into my back. She sprung at me, still on the ground and we began to struggle as I grabbed the hand holding the knife at her wrist.
“Avada—“ I heard someone begin to the left, and spun, moving the woman in the direction of the spell, using her as a human shield. I heard the last syllable of the deadly curse just as I managed to get her in position. I watched the light leave her glassy eyes with cold calculation and banished the body in the direction of the spell with a flick of the wand that had finally fallen into my grip. The assailant sliced his partner in two even halves, from forehead to crotch, allowing both her halves to sail past him as he sent an orange curse my way. I jumped to my feet, allowing it to hit the ground beneath me. The tiles of the train station bubbled next to my feet like they had been doused in acid.
I retaliated with two arcing ribbons of cutting energy. The assailant, dressed in an amorphous black hood moved, allowing both spells to slash into the marble walls behind him. I breathed in and roared fire from my wand, a torrent the size of a house to make it impossible for him to escape. The flames passed through, and when they died out, there was no one there. I stared hard at the spot he was standing. Instant vaporisation? Unlikely. I couldn’t generate flames that hot.
