The Sorcerer's X Apprentice Enter Oblivion The cave up to this point had been jagged rocks with a few overpasses between streams of lava. Beasts were ten times bigger than normal due to the magical essence that stains the crevasse. “One slip up and you’ll lose your #life.” the warning given before setting out on this adventure. Leaving on impulse, I just now realized that I never asked how big dragons were. Now seeing it’s nostrils, the size of my face, I wish I had brought some back up. What can be done? No point in complaining now. I set my eyes upon the dragon’s horn, and with a mere wave of my hand there was an explosion. Flesh and horn departed the dragons face. The horn shattered into what seemed six or seven or so ivory stones. The Earth rumbled and danced for a second, but i wasted to time with its tango. I swiftly pocketed three pieces of horn. Flames began to spew wildly from the dragon as it set off into a frenzy, slamming its body against the cavern walls. It looked like a dog sedated with LSD and Angel Dust. blood gushed from the mouth of the dragon. A sickening tantrum. The dragon was beginning to bring down the walls of the chamber. A red glow could be seen between the cracks, and it seeped through. I had already begun my escape up the cliff when Lava poured from the breaking rocks over the back of the dragon. The flesh and rock cemented and smelted the raged monster. Running lava filled the chamber, some of the waves splashed and nearly washed me away. I barely roll over the cliff's edge as the river takes the dragon. I reach into my bag and pull out one of the ivory stones. It emit such a magical essence that the stone felt warm itself. Like a fire the energy of the horn began to creep up the arm then surround my body. I could feel my power increasing just holding it. Just when i thought i was safe and enjoying my spoils. The dragons resurfaces with a raging scream. It tries to fly but its wings were nothing more than burnt flesh and exposed bone. When turning to run away, there was this hopeless expression that shaped my face. Boulders the size of cows piled up around the entrance. Like before, a wave of my hand should have crumbled the stones- should have. The dragon opened its mouth and a stream of fire ended my existence. At least in the perspective of the dragon. Suddenly i found myself cowering in an empty cave minutes from the exit. The jet of my hair reflected ashes, and my leather armor was no longer covered by my now burnt cloak. Dodging the rocks and leaping ledges. I swear I ran the entire way out, just incase that dragon knew I teleported. My master doesn’t know I stole that spell from the book. There was this strange feeling. I slid down the entrance of the cave. Knowing i’d see that dragon again someday. They are said to be creatures of legend, then again, so am I. Branded by the element of the cursed. People run from me like the plague. Forever alone, I am the sorcerer that rules over darkness. They call me Oblivion. By:Jovian Oliver -8/29-8/30 2015
