The wards exhaust the energy of anything which is trapped in it. That's what happened with Ornan. The wards which were activated by his magic trapped him between them. It slowly drained the energy force of his spirit until nothing left of him.
Darius was visibly sad after that. He locked himself in his study only to come out this morning.
He must have come to terms with what happened to Ornan. We all decided to take the witch lord upon his offer and visit his house.
Me, Darius, Max, my father, Li, Melanie, and my grandfather came to lord Agamanan's house.
It's an old house with stone walls and an ancient look to it.
The house is three-story, the first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room. The second floor has bedrooms. The third floor is prohibited to enter and that's where the books are. The third floor has four walls, if any person accidentally entered into it and sees that, they will just see four plain stone walls, nothing else.
Darius POV"Angel" I rush towards the direction from where I heard my angel's soft cry.She is on the ground unmoving. She is not even breathing."Breath Angel. You cannot take her away from me. I just got her back. Please take me away as well" I cry with pain.I just got her back, he cannot be so cruel and take her away from me. Please Angel come back to me.I press on her chest to help her breathe. I blow air into her mouth."Please Angel, this time I cannot live without you. Please come back" I whisper broken.Everyone surrounding us gasp, looking at my anguished self.I continue pressing her chest and give her air through her mouth. After what felt like an eternity, which is only a few minutes she takes a deep breath.She coughs through the sudden intake of air and then settle down a bit."Thank god she is breathing," Max says with a sigh of relief."Why is she not opening her eyes," Melanie asks panicked.
I glare at the thief who dared to steal her core. He panics and trips over in his haste to walk a little farther away from me.He should be scared. He dared to steal from her? I was angry when he took her away when she was little.I was looking for her all over the world, only to know that he hid her away from me.I excused him then because it was for her good. But this? A core is their identity. It defines the ability of the person involved.But he shifted into himself leaving my Angel vulnerable. She would have been dead just now."How dare you steal from my Angel" I roar and lunge for his throat.We shifted my Angel from the ground to the couch which I created with my magic destroying a nearby wall. My magic is most destructive when I am pissed.There is a wall missing from the library.I squeeze William's throat hard and lift him off from the ground. His feet now dangling in the air.He tries to pry my ha
"What happened grandfather" I asked him softly.He looks at me sadly and then at Darius with fear in his eyes."How did I end up with my core inside you" I continue further when he didn't respond.He gathers himself quickly and takes a deep breath."I am sorry. It was my fault" he sigh and tries to get up from the ground.When I see that he is struggling, I take a step forward to help. Darius firmly plants me by his side. I sigh and look at Max, I move my head towards my grandfather. He nods in understanding and moves towards my grandfather and help him to his feet.My grandfather looks at Darius warily. I look at Darius who is glaring at my grandfather."Will you stop it please" I nudge him with my elbow."I am not doing anything" he defends and promptly looks at me with warmth in his eyes."Please," I ask with a smile."Ok," he says rather reluctantly."On the day when your mother died, in my haste to block yo
My grandfather finishes narrating our past. Yes, he messed up with my core. But not intentionally, he lost his daughter and wife for me. He is a great man, despite the odds against him, he raised me well and gave me everything I need.We were so poor, he struggled to even provide food on the table. But still, he gave me everything. My books, laptop every other thing I ever needed.By now the lord finished finding the spells and is standing beside my grandfather with his palm on his shoulder like a silent support.Their love for my grandmother, the love of a brother, and the other one of a lover. They were estranged because of her. Their grief over her loss became a bond which is holding them together.I lay my head on Darius's shoulder and cry silently.He is stroking my hair softly with his other arm holding me protectively."So many people lost their loved ones, my best friend was targeted, and her life was threatened. My mother gave up he
Lord Agamanan chants the spell and smoke rises all around us. He takes Darius's hand and cuts his palm.Blood starts dripping on the floor.The lord drew something between me and my grandfather. He places Darius's dripping hand directly above it. His blood soon starts to take the shape of the drawing.It raises above the ground and starts revolving in the air. Suddenly, my grandfather starts to float in the air. His eyes slowly close like he is sleeping. His head drops down and his arms spread wide.Light starts to emit from his chest. He silently cries with his mouth wide open and his chest pulling forward.Then bright blinding light comes out from within his chest and floats just above the blood draw, which is glowing brightly as well.The drawing takes the shape of my core and hugs it like a protective armor.My grandfather drops down onto the ground. My father rushes forward to help him sit up."Don't" says the witch Lord Aga
We reach the third floor where the library is situated. We try to get inside, but in vain. Somehow I know we won't be able to get inside the library.Lord Agamanan, said that much earlier. But, I held hope that we might be able to go inside since Darius is inside."Oh no," Mel mumbles looking inside the library through the open wall which Darius broke for me.We all run towards her and my eyes widen at what we see there.Darius is floating in the air, and all the books are moving around him, like he is the sun and they are the planets and asteroids.'How is this possible' I think inside my head. No one can outsmart him like this. But these books are doing it without his knowledge."Impossible" I mumble in shock."They caught him in their spells when he is unconscious" Lord Agamanan commented from beside me.Everyone is looking inside the library with varied expressions. The wall-less library is still difficult to enter. There is an inv
"Damn she is as scary as our Highness when she is angry. Remind me never to get on your bad side sister" Max says with wonder.I ignore him and turn towards the lord."You said my power is the nature itself and it's constructive. Now, would you like to look at my destructive abilities?" I ask the Lord.Who in turn looks at me with respect."It's my pleasure to look at the queen saving her subjects, my Queen" he bows deeply and everyone follows suit."Not you Max, Stay upright" I command him."Yes my Queen" the seriousness returns in him.I look at him and raise a single eyebrow. He nods his head in understanding.He closes his eyes and raises a few inches above the ground."I would move away from him, if I am you," I say casually, noticing that Mel, Li, and William, Thea's grandfather are still close to him.The girl who is dominating the powerful and experienced people around her is not me. I feel panicked thinking that sh
Max disappears from the lord's house. I use my connection with him through our mind link. I can see what he seeing and I can feel what he is feeling.Humans, supernatural beings, and all living things are suffering the wrath of nature. I feel the nature and slowly take my surrounding in.I can see the elements in their destructive nature. I see a hurricane fast approaching a major city, destroying anything and everything in its way.The humans and supernaturals are sleeping peacefully, not aware, that their death is approaching in the form of a Hurricane.Wind is in its fierce form, it is the element which is supporting the Hurricane.First I control the wind. It stops moving and the fuel to the Hurricane is snatched away. Slowly the hurricanes Wither and die.Next, I concentrate on the ground, it is trembling violently because of the release of the energy from the ground.I channel my power towards the earth. I stabilize the ground an
Baraka came out of her house and was stunned to see Eugene standing there."Eugene?" She called softly.As far as she knows, both Eugene and Odhan are with King Darius and Thea. They went to attend their wedding. Then what is Eugene doing here?As soon as Eugene heard Baraka's words, he stiffened.He ignored her and looked at Lady Tina."Can we go?" he asked her politely.Tina noticed his coldness towards Baraka but didn't comment on it."Yes, let's go" instead she answered him softly.Baraka did not understand where she is going and why is Eugene looking comfortable with Lady Tina. But she did not question them and followed quietly.She opened another portal and they reached the hospital in just seconds.Lady Tina walked towards Odhan's room with Eugene and Baraka behind her.Baraka immediately recognized her surroundings. She know what this place is. But she is confused as to why lady Tina brought her here.
Odhan is admitted to the pack hospital. His injuries are much severe than he anticipated. There are numerous injuries all over his body and his leg is fractured. Jumping into the water made his injuries bleed profusely and are infected."His bone damage is excessive. He ran using his fractured leg at a speed, not all possible. His bone splintered and I am afraid, the damage is irreversible. He might never be able to walk again" the pack doctor said.After prescribing some medicine to him, she left.Tina busted out crying. She cannot believe he risked his life to save a boy who is completely unrelated to him. Even Lincoln's own father never did anything for his son. But Odhan jumped from the 3rd floor to save Lincon's life."I am sorry, this is all my fault. I failed to take better care of Lincoln" Tina cried with gratitude and guilt.Organ, who is shocked by the doctor's words is still reeling in shock. He is shocked to hear that he can never
The next morning, Everyone was hungover from the previous night's party. It's 11 in the morning, but Odhan is yet to wake up from his sleep.Only Thea, Darius, Max, and Tina woke up. They are chatting about the wedding details, which is going to take place in a couple of days."We need to start decorating the pack for your wedding," Max said looking at the different decoration styles from the brochure the wedding planner had given them."Ya, Thea liked that one" Darius pointed out towards a decoration, which resembles the heaven with white pillars decorated with white flowers and lights. White shimmering curtains are too used to decorate the entire pack, giving it a heavenish look.The wedding will be going to take place inside the pack itself. The location will be illuminated with lights, which will be hung on to the branches of the trees. The entrance will have two big white gates.Max started to laugh as soon as he saw the decoration."On
In the underworld, everyone seems happy. The bride and groom Darius and Thea are dancing happily in each other's embrace. Lucian and Ophelia, Lucifer and Amber, Max and Melanie, all are having fun drinking and dancing.They are dancing as if they have no care in the world. All their worries and troubles vanished and all they are feeling in this instant is happiness.Lady Tina and Odhan are sitting and enjoying the others dancing like crazy. Even Eugene is having fun.Some of their dance moves are so crazy, Lady Tina couldn't help but laugh at their craziness."I never laughed this much in my life" she confessed to Odhan.Odhan looked surprised at her confession. He can understand why she couldn't have laughed and be happy when she was with David, but what about before that? She was a princess. Didn't her parents treat her well? Odhan thought with confusion."Why is that? You were a princess before you married David right? These past ten year
Amber can feel the pounding of her heart. She know what she is about to do. She never confessed her love to anyone. Hell, it's the first time she is admitting it to herself.She is in Love with Lucifer. She knows he started loving him since the moment he held her in his arms, when they were locked inside his room on that first night of his stay in the royal pack.Lucifer is looking at Amber with a mixture of hope and confusion. He can see the different emotions playing in Amber's eyes.He is hoping that she is about to confess her feeling towards him. He is also considering the what if's. What if she is talking about something else?.Lucifer is waiting for her to explain her intentions."Okay, I won't assume. Tell me. What do you want from me?" he prompted softly."Everything, I want everything from you." She whispered shyly.The blush which is gradually taking over her face gave Lucifer all the answers he
Amber tried to control her tears. But, it proved to be easier said than done. Lucifer's indifferent attitude is hurting her more than she ever realized.He was the one who is kind to her and became a good friend. He was by her side through her shifting process. He is the one who saved her from Assorthan. He is the one who made her feel what love is. Now he is one who is ignoring her.Amber went inside a random room which she found unlocked and closed the door softly behind her. She didn't bother switching on the lights.She slid down the door and sat on the floor with a heavy heart. The tears she tried so hard to suppress started to drift down her cheeks.Her body shook with the intensity of her sobs. As the lights are switched off, Amber didn't notice another presence in the room.After making sure everything is arranged for his guests, Lucifer slipped out of the party with a silly excuse. He went into his room and collapsed on the bed, with
Darius look puzzled at Lucifer's comment.'I think one will lose their sense of clarity if they love someone' he thought with amusement.'She didn't tell him she doesn't love him, but he is thinking that she does not love him because she is angry. He might want to give her space and must be feeling bad for forcing his opinion on her. I always thought you are the smart one of the three of us. Now you are acting like an idiot' he thought and shook his head.'I guess it's time to play cupid again' Darius said with amusement."What happened? Why are you smiling like that?" Thea asked, who is still sitting in his lap.Darius looked at Thea and gave her a mischievous wink."Oh no. Not again" she groaned, but a small smile is playing on her lips."I know you love it" he hugged her tightly."Hmm..." She hummed with content.They sat like that for a couple of minutes."So what are you planning this time?" Thea asked unable to
Lucifer sat on the road looking at the fast leaving car, driven by Amber."That went well" Lucian commented flexing his fingers.Lucifer glared at Lucian, who in turn just shrugged his shoulders."Pushing me under that truck was your master plan?" Lucifer asked getting up from the road. He dusted his clothes a little and looked at Darius expectantly."Yes, it's such a brilliant plan. She would have confessed her love if you healed a little bit slower" Darius said shaking his head like a school principal.Lucifer rolled his eyes at him and snorted with ridicule."It almost worked. We even convinced her that you attempted suicide. But sad, she found out that we are acting sooner than we expect her to be" Lucian said with mock pity.In reality, none of them are really concerned about Amber not loving Lucifer. They saw clearly that she love him. This would have given her a good scare. She would accept him sooner rather than later."Y
"So what are we doing here?" Lucifer asked Darius."Waiting," Darius said looking to his right.Lucifer rolled his eyes and snorted at the obviously."Obviously, What are we waiting here for?" he asked again.Darius sighed heavily and finally looked at Lucifer in annoyance."We are waiting here for Amber" Darius announced and turned away to look in the right.They are currently waiting in their car, which is pulled over to aside, so that they don't disturb the traffic.It's a thick forest on either side of them. They are nestled a little deeper into the tree line so that they can't be seen."You dragged me here with a plan to make Amber realize that she loves me. But you didn't tell me what your plan is" Lucifer muttered irritably."You grumble like a woman" Darius muttered.Lucifer glared at Darius. But the latter look least bothered by Lucifer's angry tantrum."Relax brother. You will like the outcome be
