A Battle of Magic and Mutterings

How could he!? How could he betray me and the kingdom like this!? How could everything he taught me be a lie!? And so it has come to this. I had hoped the rumors of treason were false, But, alas, they were true. Very well, I will stand in his way. My duty is to protect this kingdom, And that is what I will do. He mutters a few words And an attack flashes my way. I mutter my own and repel it. This could go on forever. Even though I am younger by over a hundred years, I am just as strong as he. He always told me I was gifted, Told me that I was blessed with untold power. Well, now is the time to find out. Even above our magic and mutterings I hear the battle outside. I don’t have much time. The longer he’s alive, the more the kingdom is destroyed. There is only one way I know to destroy him. But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough to hold the spell? I’m not afraid of death. I’m only afraid of dying If I don’t take him with me. The time has come. It is now or never. God, help me succeed. “Actus eritos inspiritus!” As soon as the words leave my mouth, I feel the power loosed. I did not know I had so much. Yellow flames burst from my hands. He knows what I have done And now tries to stop it. Yet I am too powerful. I have become what he has told me I was. My potential is revealed. The magic engulfs him And he releases a scream. The sound tears in to my soul. I feel myself growing weak. The yellow magic surrounding him has turned white, And I can no longer see him. All of a sudden, My power is gone. I can’t even stand. I fall to my knees. As blackness falls over me, I see the light dissipate and die. I do not know if I was successful. I do not know when or if I will awake. All I can do is hope.
