A Heroine Is Born! (#11)

After we had dinner with Saphira's parents (a lovely couple in their mid fourties) we decided to meet up in Saphira's room to perform the spell. "Alright, to cast Ecco of Memories I need a picture of Serena. Thank God I still have the one from my bedroom table, as my parents removed all portraits of her", Saphira said putting Serena's photograph in front of her. "She vanished six years ago when she was only seven! This spell should create an echo of Serena's last moves here."

​ Then she closed her eyes and folded her hands as if she was about to pray. A moment later a ghostlike light coming from the photo flew throughout the mansion. But nothing happened after that. "Guess, we have to wait a little", Lighane said to cheer up Saphira who looked instantly disappointed.

And so we waited ...

We must have fallen asleep because a loud noise made us wake up. A very big darkblue ray with black eyes and two ice blue glowing antennae was attacking the window of Saphira's room. "Oh no! This is a soul seeker", Lighane screamed pointing at the huge number of lights surrounding the monster. "We must have attracted it with our spell." Soul Seekers were aggressive hunters drawn to black magic, Saphira explained. They prey on their victims and won't stop until they finally devour their souls. "We need to fight this thing", I shouted just when Seth entered the room. "What the hell is going on here?", he asked. "No time to explain, let's go get it", I urged them and pointed towards the giant creature.

We swam outside and now it was time to try out a fighting spell I've learned recently.

But - oh no: I couldn't remember any of them properly. So I just tried out this one to fight the ray:
​
- "Swords Of Light" 
- "Crimson Arrow"
- "Magi-Masonry"
