With her wand poised in her hand, Oriel swooped up the entire length of the staircase. She landed with perfect grace behind Marzurka.

"Look out!" Billy shouted.

Marzurka turned to meet Oriel's piercing stare.

"Out of practice, Marzurka?"

"You've been living in the dust and rats too long, Oriel."

Oriel let out an almighty shriek and thrust her wand towards the wizard. A white beam of light stream from the tip. Marzurka was lifted up in mid air and spun quickly around. He was brought to the ground with a hard thud. He stood up and brushed himself free of dust. He smiled at the witch with a glint in his eyes.

He angled his staff towards her. Blue sparks flew from the end of the cane. They forced Oriel back and pinned her against the wall, before dragging her up the wall to the ceiling. Oriel smirked. 

She waved her hand and gently floating back down again, She shrieked once more and charged at the wizard. Marzurka leapt up and appeared to hover in mid air. Disorientated, Oriel stumbled. She lost her footing at the top of the staircase. As she plummeted down the stone steps, her screams filled the entrance hall.

Matthew held Billy tightly, unable to keep his eyes off the witch. She landed in complete silence at the foot of the stairs.

Marzurka slowly glided down the stairs and stood beside her. He peered down at the curled body of his friend and enemy.

"Is she d...dead?" Billy whimpered.
