The Magical Detective：Chapter 17 - Ancestral Revelation

As the dust settled, Porter and Luna stood before their enemy, their robes

tattered and their faces smudged with dirt. The enemy wizards, with their

dark robes and menacing expressions, were determined to defeat them.

With deep brown eyes blazing, Porter surveyed the battlefeld and took a

deep breath. He knew that they were outnumbered and outmatched, but

he refused to give up.

Porter was an experienced detective, but his newfound magical

abilities had given him an edge he had never imagined possible. He had

learned to harness the power of wind, earth, thunder, water, fre, light, and

even dark magic. He could even speak the dragon language fuently. As

he looked at his opponents, he knew that this would be the ultimate test

of his skills.

With a fick of his wand, Porter sent a gust of wind toward his

enemies, knocking them off balance. Luna followed suit, using her

alchemy skills to create an explosive mixture that sent the wizards fying

in different directions. But the enemy remained unfazed, and they soon

regrouped.

Porter could feel the strain on his magical reserves as he continued

to fght. His magic level was at its highest - Level 9 - but he knew that it

might not be enough against their formidable foe. Luna's apprentice-level

alchemy skills were also being tested to their limits.

Despite this, Porter refused to give up. He remembered all the times

he had solved seemingly impossible cases with his clever deductions

and tenacious spirit. He knew that heroism was not just a virtue - it was a

way of life.

As the battle raged on, Porter and Luna faced many ups and downs.

Just when they thought they had gained the upper hand, their enemy

would unleash a new type of spell they had never encountered before.

But they emerged stronger than ever before, fueled by their magical

abilities and unwavering determination.

With sweat pouring down his face, Porter took a deep breath and

focused his energy. He chanted a spell that he had only read about in

ancient tomes, unsure if it would work. Suddenly, there was a blinding

fash of light, and the enemy wizards were engulfed in a powerful

explosion.

As the dust settled once more, Porter and Luna stood victorious.

They had won the battle, but they knew that there would be many more

challenges ahead. In this world of magic realism, nothing was ever

certain. But one thing was for sure - as long as they had each other and

their unwavering determination, they could overcome anything.

As Porter emerged from the battlefeld, triumphant and brimming

with pride, he could feel his heart beating in his chest. The magical

energies of the battle still crackled around him, the air thick with the

scent of smoke and ozone. He had won, and he knew that he was

destined for greatness.

But as he began to walk away, Draco's gruff voice caught him off

guard. "Porter," the old wizard rasped, "there's something you need to

know."

Intrigued, Porter turned back to face Draco. The old man's face was

grave, but his eyes sparkled with a strange magic. "What is it?" Porter

asked.

Draco hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Your father was a great wizard. One of the greatest I've ever known."

Porter was stunned. He had never known his father - had always

assumed that he had died when Porter was young. But to hear that his

father had been a powerful magician... it changed everything.

Draco continued, his voice growing more animated: "Your father was

a master of the wind spell - one of the most difcult and powerful spells

there is. He could summon up hurricanes and tornadoes with a fick of

his wrist."

Porter felt as though he was in a dream - or perhaps a nightmare. To

hear all this about his father, whom he had never known... it was

overwhelming. "But why didn't anyone ever tell me?" he asked.

Draco shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe your mother thought it would

be too dangerous for you to follow in your father's footsteps. Or maybe

she just wanted to protect you from the magic world."

Porter shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe it," he said.

Draco smiled wryly. "Believe it," he said. "And use it. Your father's

legacy can help you in your investigation. You have a hero's blood in your

veins, Porter. You're destined for greatness."

With those words, Draco turned and walked away, leaving Porter

standing amidst the magical energies of the battlefeld, full of wonder

and curiosity about his father's legacy and what it could mean for him.

Porter couldn't wait to delve deeper into his father's history and learn

all he could about the wind spell and its power. But he knew that, for now,

he must focus on the task at hand - solving the case that had brought

him here in the frst place.

As he walked through the dense forest, Porter began to focus his

thoughts on the magic spells that he had been studying for so long. Wind,

earth, thunder, water, fre - all of them were at his fngertips now. He could

feel the power coursing through him, like a bolt of lightning waiting to be

unleashed.

And then he heard it - a soft whisper in the wind, a voice from long

ago. It was the dragon language, spoken only by those who were true

masters of magic. Porter closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, letting

the words wash over him like a warm blanket on a cold night.

He was an apprentice no more - he had reached level nine in magic

and level seven in alchemy. But he was hungry for more - for the

knowledge and power that would help him solve the mystery of the

missing artifacts.

As he walked deeper into the forest, Porter sensed that he was being

watched. He searched his surroundings, trying to identify the source of

the feeling, but could see nothing. Suddenly, a twig snapped behind him,

and he whirled around, his wand at the ready.

But there was no one there - only a strange, eerie feeling that lingered

in the air. Porter knew that he was not alone. The dense trees seemed to

close in around him, and he felt his heart racing with fear.

He took a deep breath and focused his mind, letting his magical

senses guide him. And then he saw it - a faint glow in the distance, like a

beacon calling out to him through the darkness.

Porter closed his eyes and chanted a spell, summoning a gust of

wind that carried him forward through the trees. It was an exhilarating

feeling - to be moving so fast, with such power and control.

And then he saw it - the source of the glow. It was a small clearing,

flled with magical energy that crackled and danced like fames. In the

center of the clearing stood a stone tablet, covered in ancient glyphs and

symbols.

Porter approached the tablet cautiously, his heart racing with

excitement and fear. He knew that this was it - the clue that would lead

him to the missing artifacts. He studied the glyphs carefully, trying to

decipher their meaning.

As he read, he felt a strange sensation wash over him - as though

time itself was slowing down. The glyphs seemed to pulse with energy,

drawing him deeper into their mysteries.

And then he understood - the missing artifacts were hidden in a

63

place called The Forbidden Land. It was a place of great danger and

magic - a place where only the bravest and most skilled wizards

ventured.

Porter knew that he had to go there - it was the only way to solve the

case. But he also knew that it would be a perilous journey, flled with

many challenges and dangers.

But that didn't matter. He had his father's legacy to guide him, and he

knew that he was destined for greatness. With a smile on his face and

fre in his heart, Porter set off once again on his journey into the

unknown. There would be ups and downs along the way, moments of

triumph and moments of despair. But he knew that with his newfound

power and determination, nothing could stand in his way.

And so he walked on, with the wind at his back and a world of magic

waiting to be explored. The future was uncertain, but one thing was clear

- Porter was ready for whatever lay ahead
