C15 Evolution

"So you're saying it all started when you received a strange visitor. Then your grandmother who was a witch send you on a quest to a dead forest which time moved differently, to retrieve the gems and protect them at all costs. And after retrieving them, how time traveled and ended up here, in Beacon Hill, 2020?", Jason summarised after hearing Bryce's story.

"Yeah! That about it", Bryce said.

"Huh!", Jason said as he went back to going through the stuff written in the spellbook that he couldn't even read. He didn't even want to ask anymore questions.

Bryce also went back to searching for the spell to make daylight ornaments.

After a couple more minutes of searching Bryce's eyes widened as he skimmed through the page.

"Jason check this out", he said as he passed the grimoire to Jason.

"You know I can read this, right?", Jason said.

"Then what have you been doing all along?", Bryce asked.

"...Trying to comprehend", Jason made a wry smile.

"Well it is written in latin so... Anyway! It's an evolution spell!", Bryce said.

"And what those it do?", Jason asked.

Bryce looked at Jason pity. Hearing the name of the spell should already tell you what it does.

"It's an evolution spell, what do you think it does? Conjures a magic football? *Sigh*. It's a spell that transfers magic from the witch casting the spell to the supernatural person who the spell is being casted. The excess magic transfer causes the supernatural to evolve into a stronger supernatural being. Like a pokémon", Bryce explained.

"So it turns a blood sucker into a super blood sucker? Can you do it?" Jason asked. If they could try out the spell, then he could get stronger, which means he could get a lot better at controlling his bloodlust. He already knew how to control his bloodlust but his vampiric aspects still acts up when he sees blood.

"Well it says the things we need are; a magic circle, the caster's blood, the target's blood and a soul. But I have the gem so we won't need a soul. So yes, I can do it!", Bryce said, really confident in his abilities.

"Then let's try it", Jason said.

"My thoughts exactly", Bryce said

*****

Bryce drew a circle on the floor and a pentagram inside the circle. They lit five candles and placed them at the vertices where the pentagram and the circle met.

They both entered the circle and stood opposite each other.

Bryce made a small cut in Jason's palm with a small knife and smeared his blood across the circle. The cut healed right after. Bryce also did the same to himself and then healed himself with the healing spell.

They were about to continue when the doorbell rang.

"Who is that?", Bryce said as the went to check the doorbell camera.

He saw a black Hispanic man about principal Bohen's age at the other end.

"Oh that's Carter's dad!", Jason said.

Bryce opened the gate and allowed Carter's dad, Ivan De León, to come through.

"Ah! You must be Bryce the eldest. I've heard a lot about you", Ivan said when he came in and saw Bryce.

"Ah! Jason, how've you been", Ivan asked.

"A little crazy actually! You know, with all the vampire, witch and Primordial werewolves stuff", Jason said.

Ivan laughed.

"So where's Carter?", Ivan asked.

"He's in the basement with Charles", Bryce answered.

"Then I'll leave you to continue whatever you were doing over there", Ivan said and headed straight to the basement.

*****

Carter was in a heated battle with both Kyra and Cashel. Charles asked Kyra and Cashel to go easy on him since they were just trying to see if he could access his powers if he went against supernaturals without knowing he had already awakened his powers.

Kyra and Cashel were using only half of their strength and speed but they couldn't even land a hit on Carter while he was making several cuts on them. One should know that both Kyra and Cashel were Primordial werewolves. Using only half of the strength, they could bring down a significant number if ordinary werewolves yet they couldn't even land a hit on Carter. He could match their strength and speed as if it was a piece of cake. He kept making cuts on them with the black sword. He was like a completely different person when fighting Kyra and Cashel. Charles was so excited just watching from the side.

Carter knocked out the twin daggers in Kyra's hand and make small and precise cut on her wrists and tripped Cashel who was coming at him with full speed making him fall flat on his face.

"I won!", Carter declared victory over the siblings.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

They heard the sound of someone clapping. They all turned their heads and saw Ivan standing there.

"Dad", Carter said.

"I see you've already awakened and you have the black sword too", Ivan said.

Carter's victory face immediately turned sour when he saw his dad. Thinking about how his dad never told him he had power and that all those so called 'business trips' weren't actually business trips but hunting trips instead.

Carter immediately run passed Ivan and went outside not wanting to face him. Ivan run after his son to try and explain to him why he kept it a secret from him.

*****

Bryce and Jason were continuing their experiment when they saw Carter run out the door with Ivan after him.

"What's wrong with them?", Bryce said

He then carved a special rune his right palm and another in Jason left palm.

"You ready?", Bryce asked.

Jason nodded.

"Okay! You better endure, cause it might hurt. A lot", Bryce said.

They placed their palms with the special runes together. Bryce's eyes turned bright blue as he started with the spell.

"𝑜 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑎𝑒 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒, 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑚 𝑝𝑎𝑙𝑚𝑎𝑒, 𝑎𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑝𝑢𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠, 𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚 𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚", Bryce said.

As the spell continued, Bryce could feel his magic, flowing through his hand to his palm and entering Carter through the rune in their palms. As the magic was entering his body, Jason screamed as felt as if his whole body had been set on fire while there were hundreds of blades cutting him inside and out.

Bryce interlock the hands to prevent Jason from pulling away and ruining the spell. Jason's eyes turn completely black as thin black veins appeared under his eyes. The pain he was feeling was simply too much and Bryce wouldn't let him go so he just had to endure to whole thing.

"𝑜 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑎𝑒 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒, 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑚 𝑝𝑎𝑙𝑚𝑎𝑒, 𝑎𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑝𝑢𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠, 𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚 𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚", Bryce started repeating over and over.

The circle also started glowing as the flames lit on the candle grew bigger and hotter as it change color and became blue.

A strong force exploded between their palms send Jason flying a couple feet away. The flames on the candles went out and the circle also disappeared which meant that they had successfully completed the spell.
