Gaia's Champion Ch. 28 - Teaser (Patreon)

“Bitch! What the fuck did you do?!?!?” Daelina screamed at her as she rushed in, Gaian magic blazing as bright as the noonday sun.

“I made him regret even thinking of resisting me!” the Dark Nymph shot back, dancing about to dodge Daelina’s attacks. While the attacks these Gaians alone were bringing to bear couldn’t hurt her, combined, they could cause her trouble. Picking them off one by one was the best way to ensure victory.

“You will pay for hurting my boyfriend!!” the fairy woman fumed, staggering the creature with a lucky shot.

That shot of energy hurt much more than the Vessel thought it would, making her reevaluate her adversaries. They weren’t looking to save her; they were trying to end her, and the power behind these blasts was proof enough of that. Snarling at the lucky hit, she lashed out at the fairy, catching her in a dark miasma she had conjured to ground all three of them.

It worked, sending all three fairies to the ground, coughing and retching from the darkness they were in. The two male Nymphs, Patrok and Vahlen, raced to the trio and Darren, enacting their healing magic as they moved. While the Dark Nymph would have dearly loved to close in and finish them off, feasting on their energies, she still had the Shaman and Druids to attend to. She would get back to them, and the energies of their unborn children.

Moving her hands rapidly, she conjured a Dark barrier around her, protecting the creature from additional attacks. Once it was up, she moved quickly, not wasting any time with this next spell. Using the power granted to her by the Dark Heart, she conjured a simulacrum of herself, which was more than a shadow. While it wasn’t a proper clone, it would do well enough, and she sicced it on the downed fairies.

She would have loved to deal with the dying race herself, the Dark Nymph needed to keep them busy, while she dealt with the greatest threats. The creature then turned her full attention to the Druids and Shaman, who were continually throwing spells at her. The barrier she brought into being held, but their magic was powerful enough to take large chunks of power from it.

Sheena was beyond pissed and more than a little afraid at what this creature was doing! In all her years, she’d never heard of, or even dreamed of facing something this strong! She turned to look at her boyfriend and Jason was doing everything he could to hurt the Dark Nymph, but it was doing little. Thinking of a desperate gamble, Sheena drew upon her Shamanistic power, calling upon Wolf to help her.

Wolf answered and granted her the power of all four of nature’s elements, ready to be unleashed. She reworked the power into a spell, invoking runes of empowerment, before directing it at Jason. The spell hit him, coursing through his being as he received the full strength of the elements. He roared at the raw power that filled his being, stopping his casting as he stared down at his hands. He turned to look at his longtime girlfriend, as she smiled at him and gestured.

“Take this bitch down, babe!”

“Happily!” Jason growled as he turned back to the Dark Nymph and charged.
