As the lightning traversed quickly towards me, I slammed Excalibur into the ground, white magical veins sprouted from the piercing and a bubble of magic wrapped around me just as the spell Tobias casted hit. The street shook and cracked all around me, but my little section was safe. When it passed, I pulled the sword out and surveyed the area. The only place that hadn’t broken apart was the piece I was standing on. I grimaced at the scene as I returned my gaze to him. "Was everything we went through pointless? I know I treated you horribly. I warned Merlin I wasn’t ready and we should have found a better family for you, but he was so bloody insistent. But I still tried, Tobias."
