"There will be no hiding place for evil." His golden hair seemed to shine. Shine like the sun.
Jake's gaze didn't shift or change at Helios' words, but his own heart began hammering against his chest, in a scared sort of way. He couldn't explain it, so he ignored it. Jake could easily kill Helios with one flick of his wand... but something held him back
"This Jake is," the blond boy replied, tapping one finger against the side of his wand as his thoughts raced. At the last statement from Helios, Jake burst out lauging and, in a loud ringing voice that wouldn't carry past the barrier, he taunted, "Well, it's doing a bloody well bang-up job of it right now, ain't it?" before laughing slightly hysterically, bringing his wand up to point at Helios. "Care to duel?" he asked, the smile on his face back, eyes brimming with excited curiousness. Would this be a smart thing to do?
No, but toying with the prince would be fun.
