Aldéric snorted. “Do you know that all it takes is a scratch from one of these things in order for us to turn? If she gets attacked, she will turn and you will have to kill her. The best defense we have is to not let these things near us.”
“If we were to cast a barrier spell around her that will keep them from getting near her—”
“Then what would be the point of her even coming if she'd be unable to fight?” Xirsi asked. “Will be using magic... see the difference?”
“Furthermore, do you even have such a spell?” Rene asked. “Because that sounds like something we could use.”
“To keep the monsters at bay? Like a wall that will surround us and block them?” Aldéric asked.
“What about the one Kakashi used back at Salino's home?” Sage asked. “That kept them back.”
“That took preparation and a lot of concentration, we won't have that option. Once we're face to face with the Dark God, it's go time. Whatever we'll be able to conjure in the middle of battle will be it,” Aldéric said.
“When did Kakashi go to Salino's home?” Kyla asked.
“Hardly what's important right now,” Aldéric replied, with a dismissive wave.
Rene looked back at me. “Well, do you have a barrier spell like that?”
I had to confess, in all of the time I'd spent reading our grimoire, I didn't. At least, not one that could be cast on the fly or channeled into an amulet a person could wear. And If I did have one that could protect us from the magic the Dark God may use, Kakashi wouldn't be able to draw from us, making us useless in the battle as well. That couldn't happen. As much as I hated to admit it, they were right.
“No, I don't,” I admitted. “But what about the protection spell Maryanne will cast on all of us?”
"That spell will only protect the mages of this council. I'm sorry, Adrian... Sage,” Maryanne said. “And even that spell won't make us invincible.”
Kakashi huffed. “Are you willing to risk her life for her ego, Adrian? We're wasting time at this moment discussing something so inconsequential.”
I looked at Sage and by his expression, I knew he'd already agreed with them. He'd just deal with her wrath later.
“I get it,” I said, dropping the subject. It was best to keep Shi safe even if she'd hate missing the battle. I squared my shoulders and sighed. “All right.” I looked at Sage. “Are you ready?”
“To share you with them? Fuck no. But to kick this El-Kazir's ass, hell yeah,” Sage said.
I gathered what we needed on hand, then walked back to Sage who was already standing in the middle of the sigil where we'd have to perform the act to please the Goddess of Fortune. I kissed him, then painted the symbol of the Goddess onto his forehead and did the same to myself using the blood of the Dark God's monster and other magical herbs. The other mages all took their places around the sigil to be the witnesses. The eyes of the Goddess. I made sure everyone spread the anointing oil on their closed eyelids. Sage and I didn't need to do that part, but we had to drink the blessing of the Goddess that had to be made with the Waters of the Mystic. Rene was able to get that for me because only a light mage could get the water from the right waterfall. And Sage... well, he had his part, which required the life of someone who lusts in secret. I didn't bother to ask him what that meant, didn't want to know.
I walked over to the table, grabbing the ornate chalice with the Goddess design and name engraved into the gold. I returned to Sage and drank the potion in the chalice. It was actually tasty, like fruit puree. Next, Sage did and as he drank, I began to feel heat flowing through my body to my groin and I shuddered from the intense need to have my man deep inside of me, driving his hard cock in and out over and over until we came. Sage must have been feeling it too, because he pushed me to the floor, placing the chalice aside and lifted my robe. I was already naked underneath, as was he, and his robe was lifted just enough to free his cock from the cloth. He spit into his palm and slicked his cock up. Of course, I had already lubed up my hole, because I knew we had to have sex. It was just more pleasant that way. But at this point, with the way I was feeling, I didn't give a shit that it was in front of everyone. All I could see was Sage. He was all I cared about. I spread my legs wide and grabbed both of his meaty ass cheeks as he pushed himself inside of me.
“Ahhhhh!” I gasped, my back arching, because he was so fucking big. and his cock ring rubbed my prostate extra nice.
He shuddered and groaned as he buried his dick deep inside and I pulled him down to kiss those lips that I dreamed about even when I was awake. Sage began to rock back and forth, his hips pumping, and I gripped his ass even more. God, I couldn't get enough of him! Our tongues explored each other’s mouths in sloppy, passionate kisses. I let go of his ass to run my hands up his back to feel just how strong his muscles were there as they flexed with his movement. He broke away and lifted my robe more, his mouth finding my nipples and sucking on them, which he knew I loved.
“Fuck, Sage,” I panted. My entire body felt hot like a furnace and I felt like I'd explode if he didn't fuck me harder and faster. My nails bit into his skin as his thrusts slammed into me. My toes curled from the intense pleasure and when his mouth locked onto mine again... I came. My own orgasm triggered Sage’s and he pumped hard and then froze before quaking uncontrollably. I felt his cock release, the hotness of his climax filling me and oozing out as his cock pumped. Our kisses became soft pecs as his strokes slowed to a stop. He kissed my forehead, then sighed before collapsing on top of me. We were both breathless but at the same time, something began to happen.
I was no longer laying on the floor with Sage on top of me. Now, I was standing with Sage at my side and we were looking at the Dark God, El-Kazir Del’Avante. Oh my god, he was magnificent. Gorgeous, to be exact. Dressed in a grey suit with shiny patent leather shoes. His thick, black hair was short and slicked back and his dark eyes stared at us. He smiled.
“I... see... you,” he said. “Busy little mages, do you think you can challenge me?”
I swallowed, because I couldn't speak.
“You're the one who's been busy,” Sage said.
El-Kazir nodded. “And soon, even those supernals you think you're protecting will fall to me, too.”
All of a sudden, I was back in the room on the floor and Sage was climbing off me. I panted and I gripped my chest because I could feel my heart beating like a piston behind my ribcage.
“Did you see him?” Kakashi asked us.
“Y—yes,” Sage said as he struggled to climb to his feet. “He said... we... can't stop him.”
