My Angel system

Jude was in shock to find out that the man he had been talking to all this while was Festus Light, the same Festus Light that his father used to tell him and his sister about when they were little.

"You\'re Festus Light?" He said.

"Yes, you sound like you\'ve heard the name before," Festus said.

"Yes, my father used to tell me about you," Jude said. "He said you were his best friend when he was just a little boy."

"You\'re Felix\'s son?" Festus said.

Festus had suspected that this may be the case when he heard Blackstone but he wasn\'t too quick to draw conclusions as Felix had a brother in Asaka.

"Yes," Jude said.

A smile had slowly made its way to Festus\' face as soon as he heard Jude say that.

"My dad never made mention of you getting banished and he never told me you were a wizard," Jude said.

"Yes, because it was better to keep things that way," Festus said.

"Huh?"

"I told your grandparents, his parents to tell him that I had left Asaka to find the purpose of my life, I told them to tell him that I was safe and would one day come to visit him.

"If they had told him what really happened, he would have been heartbroken and that would have affected his life negatively."

"Yeah, he said he didn\'t have many friends and spent most of his time every day with you but you didn\'t tell him that you were a light wizard did you?" Jude said.

"He didn\'t need to know that I was a light wizard, he was just a little child then seeking attention and care from someone aside from his parents and gave him that," Festus said. "I can see he later found his place in Asaka."

"Yeah," Jude said.

"How is he?" Festus asked.

"He\'s okay on the physical level I guess," Jude said.

"What do you mean by that?" Festus asked.

"It\'s a long story and if you just give me those stones, I promise I will come back here and tell you," Jude said, getting up from his seat.

Festus stared at him silently for a while before picking up his staff and slowly getting up.

"What do you need the stones for?" The wizard asked, giving him a suspicious look.

"My sister disappeared into this world that had its portal created by three travel stones and I really need that stone to get her out," Jude said, ignoring the suspicious look from the wizard.

\'Did he say another world?\' Festus thought.

"Felix also has a daughter?" Festus said.

"Yes but now I\'m not even sure she\'s still alive," Jude said. "Please I really need those stones."

"I have told you, Jude, it is impossible to get what you\'re trying to get," Festus said.

"But it\'s being protected by a spell," Jude said.

"Exactly," Festus said.

"I was taught at the knight academy that every spell can be broken, you just need the right materials or the right person to break it," Jude said.

"It\'s very smart of you to take note of those lessons Jude but do you think those rules apply to shadow enchantment?" Festus said.

"Doesn\'t it?"

"It does," Festus said abruptly. "But things are different here because the materials are very far from our reach and come with a price you and I will never be able to pay." He said, returning to his serious tone.

"What materials?" Jude said.

Festus didn\'t reply as he walked to the side of the room that he had converted into his kitchen.

There was a metal keg and metal round cups on the table and after pouring some of the content in the keg info one of the cups, he grabbed the cup and turned to Jude.

"The first material is the person who cast the spell." The wizard said after taking a sip from the content in the cup.

"If the first material is the shadow witch which is your friend, doesn\'t that make breaking the enchantment easy?" Jude said.

He had a point but things weren\'t as he thought them to be.

"Wrong," Festus said, dropping the metal cup back on the table. "Melina is far away from here now."

"Where is she? Maybe I can find her." Jude said.

"I don\'t know and even if you do find her, I don\'t think she will agree to break the enchantment," Festus said.

"Why?" Jude asked.

"Because our relationship isn\'t what it used to be," Festus said. "Care for a drink?" He asked, raising the other metal cup up.

"What do you mean your relationship isn\'t what it used to be?" Jude asked, ignoring his gesture.

"It\'s a long story, Jude," Festus said as he dropped the cup on the table and began to walk back to the young knight.

"What is the second material?" Jude asked.

"I don\'t think it\'s any use telling you because that is not an option," Festus said, returning to his seat.

"Just tell me," Jude said.

Festus didn\'t reply to him as he lifted his staff and after dropping it on the table, he turned to Jude.

"What?" Jude said.

"You are looking at it," Festus said pointing at the staff.

"Your staff?"

"Yes," Festus said.

"How is it not an option for us?" Jude asked as he tried to grab the staff but Festus had pulled it back before he could get to it.

"Using this staff to break that spell means it will get destroyed," Festus said.

"Can\'t you get a new one?" Jude asked.

"I can but…." Festus paused as he dropped the staff back on the table. "Does this staff look ordinary to you?"

"Apart from the light and the fact that it belongs to a light wizard, yes," Jude said.

Festus let out a sigh as he pulled the staff back to his side.

"I forgot you were just an ordinary human being." The wizard said.

"What are you trying to show me?" Jude asked.

Festus didn\'t reply to him for a while before he dropped the staff back on the table.

"Do you remember the evil spirits I told you once roamed our lands?" The wizards asked.

"Yes, the ones you defeated," Jude said.

"I didn\'t exactly defeat them," Festus said.

"Huh?"

Festus tapped his staff as the room went dark and the white light from the staff spread throughout the table.

Jude watched with amazement as a white human illustration appeared on the table holding a white staff.

"Is that you?" The young knight asked.

"Yes," Festus said as he tapped the table as scary-looking creatures covered in dark red aura appeared on the other side of the table opposite the illustration of him.

"And those are the evil spirits," Jude said.

"Being spirits meant that physical attacks didn\'t work on them," Festus said as the illustration of him was blasting the spirits with white energy blasts from his staff but it didn\'t seem to be doing anything.

"Then how did you get rid of them?" Jude asked.

"I used a spell, a binding spell that trapped them all in my staff," Festus said as the illustration of him was holding up his staff as the evil spirits all got pulled into it.

"So destroying the staff trying to break the shadow enchantment."

"Will unleash the demons on our lands again and I don\'t think anybody will be able to stop them," Festus said.
