peace.” Lola responded solemnly.
    “After murdering most of my apprentices you think that there is a slight chance I will let you walk away in peace. You are sadly mistaking my dear Lola Raven.” Perim stared at Lola with an empty face expression like staring at a statue.
    “I am no longer Lol a Raven. I go by the name Lola The Black now.” The magus replied. “I am not the same weak and innocent little girl you once knew. You disgusting pig.”
    “That is no way to speak to the one who raised you.” Perim frowned and gripped on the rod as if he was ready to cast a spell on Lola. “I saved you and took y ou as my own child. I gave you protection, food, a bed, friends and luxury in my mansion. Then you try to take my precious treasure.”
    “Liar!” Lola roars from deep in her throat. “Your treasure? That rod you hold is my father’s. You took it from me telling me that it had dark power. You knew I need that rod. You knew of my powers and you were afraid of me. You were afraid that I would awaken my dark magic.”
    “Of course I was.” Perim said loudly interrupting Lola. He turned away, back to the balcony and stared down at his courtyard with dozens of his students dead and burned. “I was afraid that you would hurt the other students Lola. Had you awaken your powers you would not know how to control them. You had no discipline back then. I did not trust your ability to control your powers. Not even after your sixteen birthday. Dark magic requires strict and attentive training. I did not know what to do with you so I held on to your rod.”
    Lola took a stepped forward. “I understand now what you were trying to do.” She said. “You force me to give myself to you in hopes of gaining any bit of my dark magic. You are a pig. Not just me but you would take advantage of the other female apprentices as well. You corrupted your students and brain washed them. I however resisted. I got tired of being one of your puppets going on missions, fighting for you while you profit from the king. You did not care about me. You only cared about what you gained from the orphans that you raised.”
    “ I knew you would return.” Perim replied calmly. For the moment he showed no malice. “I knew you would return to reclaim your father’s dark rod. For the past three years that you were away. I have been trying to discover how to use its power. With this rod I will have many more apprentices like you at my command. I will have my own army one day and go up the ranks in this Alexandria.”
    Lola clenched her teeth and her eye s narrowed. Her eyes turned pale white and her fangs creep from the sides of her mouth. “I knew it. You were up to no good. I saw what you did to them. Those headbands with onyx stone. You were manipulating their minds. You had all of them against their will. You are a pig. You raped your own students.”
    “Rape!” Perim barked. “After all I have done for these lost children the least they could do is please me. I don’t ask for much. I kept you all from poverty in this country ruled by selfish monarchs. You are better off living for me and assisting me at achieving my goals. What better purpose could you serve? Omegus won’t help you. He is but a god who sits and watches your actions. Nothing more.”
    Lola seethes with anger. His words were as she predicted. Back then she was just a defenseless girl. Hearing Perim finally admit his true intentions gave her the signal to take his life. “I guess there is no reasoning with you then.”
    “Pikan Granda!” Perim yelled and from his palm a large sphere of fire swelled. He launched a fire blast destroying everything in its path. Lola stopped it with her rod. She tried to absorb the spell and was pushed back by the impact. He boots slide over the wooden floor as the fire blast pushed her. Everything around her began to get blown away by the energy of the spell. Little by little she absorbs Perim’s fire spell. The energy burned her but it was
