Chapter 8

Arthur walked into the office and saw a man no older than 40 looking down at his desk with a worried look on his face

"Hummm Mr Morgan?"

The man looked up in a panic

"Ah young Arthur, what are you doing here?"

"our formations lesson was today"

Arthur wasn't interested in much other than exploring and learning about his new world, but after one day breaking a light by accident in his house, he was surprised to find small drawings inside and learning that there were called formations, symbols that can command the magic in the air, and he fell in love instantly and has been practising for the past few weeks with the town's mayor, who used to be a rank two formations master back in the day.

"Ah yes well, I'm sorry I forgot that was today and a pressing matter has come up, you're probably going to hear about it later so I might as well tell you now"

The mayor put on a serious look on his face

"That man from before is called Harry Adams, he was sent from one of the holy kingdoms and they have been granted permission to set up a branch near by in one of the cities, and they're sending people to the surrounding towns to set up their own churches, I'd be careful Arthur I know your magic is unique but I'm sure you heard the rumours about what those from holy country's do to those kinds of magic"

Most people in the village where aware of Arthurs blood magic, it was an open secret, but no one other than his parents and his mother's friend knew it had Holy properties, Arthurs parents didn't even know that he knew.

"Why are they setting up here?"

"Who knows, most likely to spread their influence more and to try and convert our kingdom into a holy country, but that's not for you to worry about young Arthur"

Arthur nodded and left the office and waved to Marian on his way out of the building, his appearance seemed fine but deep down he was panicking a little

'ill be fine right?? on earth 'Vampires' and organised religion never meshed well, he told me to be careful due to the rumours, but what rumours, Mum and Jake haven't said anything about the holy kingdoms, why is that?' Arthurs curiosity started to get the better of him as he walked back to where he split up With Toby.

the boy held his thumb to the sky and closed one eye and determined its been around half an hour

'He should be long done by now' he thought to himself

as He made his way over he started to hear the sounds of cheers

"Come on BITE HIM"

"COME ON RYAN YOU GOT HIM THIS TIME" another voice yelled

When ever a fight happened in town it was mostly between kids, so a few adults where always around to watch to make sure it never goes to far, but this time it sounded like there was a bigger crowd than normal

'is he not done yet?'

Arthur made his way though the crowd till he could see what was going on and was shocked by what he saw

He saw a boy with dim flames around 3 fingers on each hand and was covered in a shallow bight marks, making quick and fast jabs towards a large dog who was covered in light burns who was dodging them but was unable to get any closer.

'He might actually lose this time, he looks worn out' Arthur thought as he looked at the panting dog, how was smaller than when the fight started

Arthur knew toby was in a bad state, it because he wasn't used to long fights, ending most his fights before they had a chance to drag on.

Arthur had no intention to help his friend, he knew one of the adults would step in if things got to far and neither of the boys looked to injured, and Arthur felt interested in how Ryan got to Toby's level all of the sudden.

Ryan continued to jab and toby continued to doge, an able to close the distance, this continued for a bit until toby suddenly stopped dodging and instead bit towards the hand coming towards him, Ryan wasn't able to dodge in time and his hand went right in to Toby's mouth, who didn't hesitate to chomp down on the boys hand, hard.

The boys hands suddenly loss there fire as he winced in pain, only then did toby let go and charged towards him, pushing him over, and pressed his teeth lightly against his neck

"that's enough" one of the adults said as he walked out of the crowed, holding Toby's cloths

toby let go of the boy, his body slowly losing fur and while shrinking, everyone looked in horror as his fingers slowly grew and his bone cracked in to the right places, it was truly disgusting to watch

"don't look if you don't like it" Toby said offended as he put his cloths on.

He spotted Arthur in the crowed that was starting to disperse and began to make is way towards him, but suddenly his friend started to run towards him, at a pace that shouldn't be possible for a child his size.

as Arthur was running he cut his finger with his teeth and used his blood magic And coat his hand in it.

[system note -3 hp]

he pushed his confused friend out of the way and caught a fiery fist that was aimed at his friends head with his blooded hand

"What the hell do you think your doing Ryan" Arthur said, almost growling at the boy

Ryan said nothing and continued to look at toby with rage, until one of the adults who was watching ran towards them and separated them and began to scold the boy for trying to attack when the fight was already over.

but he did nothing and continued to glare at Toby, and this time, Arthur before clicking his tongue and leaving.
