The Magical Detective:Chapter 25 - Vengeful Justice

Chapter 25 - Vengeful Justice

By 醉翁忆梦换酒钱Published 3 years ago 4 min read

As Porter and Luna emerged from Draco's lair, the pulse of magic still

throbbed within their bodies. The tingle of transformation was fresh

within his skin as he pushed aside the vines that blocked their path,

leading them into the forest.

The sound of leaves crunching beneath their feet and the rustling of

branches flled the air as they made their way through the dense foliage.

The wind picked up, causing Porter's coat to fap violently behind him and

blowing Luna's hair across her face.

But their minds were consumed by the task at hand; to bring the dark

forces responsible for his parents' death to justice and to fnd closure to

this chapter in his life. Porter's detective instincts were heightened by the

strange energy surrounding them.

Luna chattered excitedly about spells and potions, but Porter could

barely focus on her words. He was lost in thought, piecing together all

that Draco had told him about the ones behind his parents' murder.

As they approached a clearing, he saw a small cottage on a hill that

was shrouded in wispy fog. Smoke rose from its chimney, carrying with it

the smell of burning herbs. Draco had hinted that they might fnd useful

information there.

"That's where we need to go," he muttered to Luna, pointing towards

the cottage. "If what Draco said is true, then there's something waiting for

us inside."

Luna nodded eagerly, her blue eyes shining with excitement. They

picked up their pace, hurrying towards the cottage with newfound

determination.

As they drew closer, they could make out a fgure standing on the

porch. It was Draco, his dark robes billowing in the wind. He raised his

hand in greeting as they approached.

"Welcome back," he said in his deep voice. "I trust you found our

conversation useful?"

Porter nodded curtly, his mind focused on their mission. "We're here

for more information," he said. "What have you got for us?"

Draco smiled enigmatically. "Come inside," he said. "I have

something to show you."

They followed him through the door and into the dimly lit cottage.

The room was cluttered with books and potions, and a small fre burned

in the hearth.

Draco walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a thick tome. "This is

the book of dragon language," he said, holding it out to Luna.

Luna's eyes widened. "Dragon language?" she repeated, taking the

book from Draco's hands. "What is that?"

Porter watched as Luna eagerly fipped through the pages, her

fngers tracing the strange symbols and characters. He couldn't help but

feel a twinge of envy at her enthusiasm.

"This language is spoken by dragons," Draco explained. "It's

incredibly powerful and complex, and only a few wizards have ever

mastered it."

Porter leaned forward, his interest piqued. "What does it have to do

with the case?" he asked.

Draco smiled enigmatically. "That," he said, pointing to Luna with his

fnger, "is for you to fgure out."

Porter furrowed his brow in confusion but remained silent, knowing

that everything would become clear in due time.

As Luna continued to read through the book, Porter listened as Draco

revealed more information about the dark forces at play. Their motives

were unknown, and their identity was shrouded in secrecy.

But the one thing that was clear was that they had immense power

at their disposal, and they were not afraid to use it.

Porter knew then what he had to do. He had to face off against these

dark forces, to challenge them head-on and bring them down once and

for all. His heart flled with determination as he spoke.

"I'll do whatever it takes to track them down. They took my parents

from me, and I won't rest until I've found them."

Draco nodded solemnly. "I know you will," he said. "But be warned,

they are powerful, and they will use every trick at their disposal to defeat

you."

Porter's eyes gleamed with determination as he nodded back frmly.

"I won't let them win," he replied. "I'll do whatever it takes."

As they left the cottage, Porter paused for a moment, taking in the

beauty of the forest around him. The sun was setting, casting long

shadows across the clearing.

He felt as though the world was both immense and timeless, full of

hidden secrets and magic beyond his wildest dreams.

As they walked back towards their base, Porter knew that their

journey was far from over. But with Luna by his side and his spirits

watching over him, he felt ready to face whatever lay ahead.

The wind whipped around them again, carrying with it the power of

the magic spells he had learned. Wind, earth, thunder, water, fre, light,

and dark - all were at his command.

With a deepening sense of purpose and resolve, Porter spoke the

words of the dragon language into the whistling wind that surrounded

him.

The magic swirled around him like a vortex as he spoke, imbuing him

with newfound strength and courage. He knew that he would need all of

it and more to face off against the powerful dark forces that were out

there.

The sound of leaves crunched beneath their feet as they walked

back towards their base. And as they disappeared into the night, they

could feel the magic of the universe pulsing within them.

Porter was determined to uncover all the clues that hid behind the

darkness lurking within his parents' case. The world held many secrets

and Porter was ready to uncover them all with every spell cast and every

incantation spoken.
