Secret Meeting in the Night (1)

Ethan's POV

The beautiful but deadly frigid energy coalesced into a burst of power and together enveloped those invasive streams.

With a sudden flash of dark blue light that brightened the whole room, the battle ended. When the blinding glow subsided, I looked at my hand.

In my palm lay a small haphazard dark blue crystal that radiated a chilling energy that seemed to freeze the very air around it.

Tiny, snake-like streams of dark purple power swirled within the crystal but they gave an illusion of movement but were frozen in reality as if they were suspended in real time.

I examined the damage to my hand. Several of the mana veins of my right hand had burst and blood trickled from the injuries.

The clash of magic had left its mark but there was no time to waste as I knew t=it could leave lasting injuries if not treated immediately.
