Caleb watched the exchange between Magaldors and Ambrose.  He watched as he tried to scare them by showing a bit of magic, but the leader of the Magaldors didn't back down and warned them once more that if they didn't leave he would attack them again.  Caleb sighed and closed his eyes.  Did he really want to reveal this side of himself to Ambrose?  He'd hidden this part of himself from Ambrose since he met him.  He hadn't tapped into it, and he meditated daily to keep it at bay, but in order to get out of this situation, he would have to release him and let [i]him[/i] out to play for only a short time.

"You should be afraid Magaldor.  You know what I am," Caleb said his body shaking slightly, "You know what my kind can do.  Last chance to leave."

"You are a trespasser, it is my duty to guard the sacred forest, even if I die."

"Don't say I didn't warn you," Caleb said before the transformation took place.  There was a surge of primal arcane energy that surged through the area absorbing into Caleb as his eyes opened and revealed the glowing pulsating orbs of energy.  His face looked as if it were cracking as if energy was about to break free.  He started levitating as he glared at the leader.  The magaldor backed away slowly but fired their arrows at Caleb and Ambrose.  Caleb's hand raised and all the arrows stopped, bursting into flame.  Caleb vanished and appeared behind the leader.  He placed his hand on the head of the leader and the magaldor screamed as if in agony.  His body twitched violently and a smile crept onto Caleb's face but when he saw Ambrose, he knew he had to reign in his power.  

"I will give you a chance to live, take your wounded and go," Caleb said as the rest of the magaldors rushed over to their twitching leader who was stuck in a painful nightmare.  The scurried off and Caleb closed his eyes, breathing and regaining control once more.  He looked at Ambrose, not wanting to address the issue at hand, but realizing that he had no choice.  "I...I will explain once we reach the temple," Caleb said softly.  The sheer power that he displayed would feel familiar to Ambrose, it would feel like the Headmaster had come into the area with his piercing gaze.  The truth was that Caleb was not human, neither was the Headmaster.  They were beings from another world.  They consumed life force, draining worlds and leaving.  That was what he was, he was an Incyus, a being formed of arcane energy, feeding on the life force of creatures they encountered.  It wasn't until they came to earth that they started a new life.  They were free here, but now that they'd come to this forest, Caleb's identity was in jeopardy.  "Shall we go?" Caleb asked looking at Ambrose with apologetic eyes.
