"Surrender? I already won." Helios laughed as if still under Jake's spell after being pushed away, landing in a three point stance several feet away. "Every step you take down your dark path only brings you closer to your own destruction." With those words the prince rose to his feet, overcome with a serene calm that seemed to permeate the air around him. With eyes of blue sky, and hair of golden sun, he stood with his arms outstretched, muttering two words before dropping his wand to the floor. "Expecto patronum.."
The way his wand burst with silvery magic, it was obvious his heart was not in this battle. It was with Krissy, the girl he was meant to wed. When the Pegasus rose from the silver mists, it's strength and grace a physical manifestation of his feelings for her. Rising up on it's back two legs, the ethreal steed spread it's majestic, feathered wings, like that of an angelic horse before running full speed right through Jake, and out of the trophy room to find the one Helios loved. "Be done with it.."
