Chapter 2 (2nd part/half)

As usual, the room was dull with the dim light from the small light on the ceiling which gave the whole room a kind of dreary look. All the walls were made of nothing but smooth gray concrete. "So, are you ready to start?" he asked with a earnest tone yet I thought I might of heard a bit of sarcasm in the back of his throat.I slowly started walking towards him. He also slowly started walking towards me his short spiky black hair seeming to match the scenery of the room. His stern brown almost black eyes staring at me almost seeming to stare a hole straight through me.
"What do you think I've been waiting for so anxiously?" I said with a kind of frustrated tone, "Why do you think I've endured all the times you beat me tell I can't feel the beat anymore?" my ears started to twitch as they always did while I was in an impatient mood. After that he gave me a look like he was getting impatient. "Why is he impatient?" I thought to myself.
"Well than, maybe.... you are not ready?" he said with a voice that sounded like he was talking to a very young child at a school.
"Hmph, from what I understand isn't magic just a exercise used through the mind?" I said almost in anger but also, in curiosity.
"Yes, It's stress on your mental intellect but, It's worthless if you are not physically fit enough to do anything with it, and 2 to be able to think and react to what is happening," he said in and factual tone. "Boring" I thought.
"Well fine than," I said losing patience, "Can we please just start the lesson???" He inched towards me and said "O.K." He than walked to the far wall just a few inches from it's smooth surface.Than faced me and said "Alright first of all I find one of the best ways to learn is by example and a keen student. So, I want you to watch everything I do as I use magic. First of all I want you to figure out how I release it, and second how I control it. Think you can handel that?"
"Alright I'm watching, Phobos," I said about to burst with anxiety. He than started chanting to himself what sounded like random blabber. With my supernatural hearing I heard a few strange words here and there. He than closed his eyes and stood in a neutral position. After a few seconds he shouted "Taw Hite Dar NeKs!!!" in what sounded like a very angry and frustrated tone. Suddenly his whole form seemed to start to melt and his 6.3 foot tall image slumped into a liquid lump on the ground. In all truth. I was not that impressed. What good would that do him. Becoming a glop on the ground. How ingenious, not really..... Than suddenly this puddle on the ground moved swiftly towards him and clung to my foot. Than with quick agility wrapped up and around my body tell it took the form of Phobos. And turned solid with Phobos' hand in a lethal position around my Adam's Apple. "Now tell me what you saw?"
"Well the first thing I noticed is you concentrated by, I don't know, maybe first talking to yourself in some paradox of a language. Than you closed your eyes as if trying to ignore everything around you. Than you suddenly screamed something in probably some different language I don't know. I think you were swearing....." I paused for a second to see his reaction to that but he just kept waiting patiently. "So, than you kind of slumped into a blob on the ground and came hurling at me. And than caught me in a surprised state and took advantage to it." I said in a finishing and somewhat brave, I thought brave, tone.
"Ugh, Kronos, you always seem to observe the most unimportant parts of this," he said in an exasperated tone. "Allow me to explain it to you and than will start to get to work on you. Well than as you sort of mentioned the first thing I did was speak. Now you thought I was talking to myself? I was talking to magic, or you could say my magic. You see us humans have never been magically gifted. But we have others that are part of us in a sort that are. I was mumbling to him Er Tre Tirght. Which in a sense means Are you awake?. He didn't respond to me so I had to concentrate and find him. When I did I found that he was not very pleased with me. Because I have not spoken with him in awhile. And he was not very willing to perform his art for me. Although with my sudden out burst he decided he better. Than after the transforming from a solid to a liquid you basically got the idea."After the year long lecture of all of his wonders I was both curious and full of questions. Magic was a he?

Well than I'm not sure if I'm gonna end chapter 2 this way. But this is how I'm gonna end for now. Good night all.

I wonder what Cronos' magic is going to be? Intriguing.

Good work, that was very interesting and kept me reading!
Sorry I didn't read it earlier, I am way behind on my blog reading since we moved last week and I didn't have internet or time to read for about a week. When I checked my google reader I had over 100 blog posts to read! But now it's down to 29.
