Chapter six- the death of a mage Yassin struggled violently against the magic that held him in place. Snarling with frustration, he observed the two other people in Kapu̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s office. There was Kapu sitting at his desk, obviously pleased that he could easily Entangle the ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâgreat̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ Yassin and high on pride. If only he could break free long enough to wide that smug little grin off his face..*snarl* Whenever he managed to break the barriers preventing his movement(this usually took about five minutes), Kapu would simply cast the spell again. Then, there was Akka.. he didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want to think about her much. "So Akka", Kapu said. "What exactly did our fine feathered friend over here say?" He glanced at Yassin as if he were as harmless as a fly, which made Yassin boil inside with suppressed rage. "Well.. he was talking to his ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâmistress̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢.." she said softly, and at the sound of her voice, Yassin̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s insides twisted. "Go on, I assure you that this big bad wolf can̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t hurt you." Kapu twitched his hands, recasting Entangle, as the spell began to fade. "Well.." She was still slightly dizzy from the Ice Blitz, and tried to gather her thoughts. "He mentioned something about a plan, and Traven knowing everything.. All while talking to some sort of strange sword.." "A sword?! Go get it, quickly!" Kapu said, his eyes flashing with curiosity. No.. not̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ Yassin thought, as Akka got up to retrieve the weapon. He knew exactly what would happen when she touched it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s blade. Idiot son of a̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ I̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢LL.. KILL HIM!! The moronic b@$#%_d!! I̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢LL MUDER̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ. HIM!! Yassin growled, and struggled ever more violently against the magical bonds that held him. But all he could do was shoot Kapu a few venomous looks, as he knew that Akka would die carrying out his orders. A very awkward moment passed between the two of them, and he saw Kapu shudder slightly at the force of his glances. This was all until he saw Akka step through the door wielding his sword as if it were a extension of her arm. The cruelly sharp katana, specifically designed to horribly burn all that touch it, was cradled in her hands like a day old puppy. It was slightly too long and heavy for a teenaged girl, after all it was meant for Yassin̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s use, but she still held it so very naturally. Yassin was amazed beyond belief until he made the connection. Of course.. he muttered. By blood, for blood̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ. Naturally̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ "Splendid!" Kapu exclaimed after noticing the expertly crafted weapon. "It must be worth millions̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ May I?" Kapu held out his hands and Akka gently passed him the blade, handle first. Little did she know that she was leading him to his death. Kapu held the exquisite katana, and at first, everything was fine. He gently stroked the red blade, tracing the pattern of a wolf pack etched on it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s glassy surface. "Wow.. this isn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t worth millions, it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s worth billions! One of a kind, I would say. What fine craftsmanship.. I wonder what it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s made of? Definitely no common me..AAAH!" Kapu never even finished his sentence. He screamed, for the pain was tremendous. The magic of the blade was slowly dissolving his very hands, eating away at the flesh to the bone, and he dropped the weapon as it hit the floor with a tremendous clatter. It burned his skin like fire on paper, and boiled his blood like water in a cooking pot. Wherever he touched, the blight would spread, and it soon eclipsed his entire body. All the time he was prancing about, trying to cure himself, Yassin recovered from the effects of the unattended Entangle spell. He stood there and laughed at Kapu̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s plight, as Akka stared in wide-eyed shock. "Serves you right, Kapu! You greedy b@$#%_d, you planned to simply hold me here, hand me off to Traven like a stuffed goose, and later sell my stolen weapon for a nice profit!" Yassin continued to laugh as Kapu slowly died, and thus decided to stay a bit longer for the show; it was so highly amusing. He snickered as Kapu tried desperately to use cooling spells against the devouring curse, to no effect of course. "Nothing can stop it! Don̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t even-vait, please try to cure yourself, it is just so amusing!" Kapu, quickly losing the sanity to fight the spell, fell to the floor, overcome by the phenomenal pain. He clutched his chest in agony, but it was only a minute before he finally vanished into utter oblivion. Yassin smiled slightly at Akka̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s traumatized face as he gently retrieved his weapon. She didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t even bother to try to prevent him from disappearing into a shroud of blackness, shaking and shivering with shock.
