Throughout the entire journey, Jace deliberately kept his distance from Audrey.
Even right now where it was only the two of them left in the place, Jace still remains aloof and adamant in keeping a safe distance away from Andrew (Audrey).
He was sporting and serious expression on his face as he busied himself searching for every drawer and cabinets left abandoned in the west part of the old mansion.
There is no other noise that can be heard within the western part of the old mansion aside from the sound created by the drawers and cabinets every time they opened and rummage it.
Being unable to stand the awkward silence between them anymore, Audrey stop what she was doing and looked at Jace who was still busy trying to rummage the place looking for the ancient Goblet.
Out of the blue. she directed a question towards Jace.
"Jace, can I asked you about something?"
But instead of answering right away, Jace just looked at her
"Come on guys. We have to go. Let's head back now and leave this place."Niccoli beckoned as he started walking ahead of the group.He was definitely looking forward to returning to Iridos and gave the ancient Goblet to Professor Sonny.Hopefully, that ancient Goblet is the key that would be able to help them to finally awakened Luna.The rest of the group also felt the same way so they all went out of the old mansion with Niccoli on their lead.So far, everything seemed to go on smoothly and Audrey can't help but feel that everything was going way too smooth sailing that she was starting to feel unnerved.It was unsure whether she was just being apprehensive for no reason but the fact that everything went on smoothly in this quest is really suspecting by itself.It did not take long for the group to reach the same massive wooden door where they came in. It was still left wide open and a gust of wind was still coming fro
"I believed that you got something in you that belongs to us. Give it back to us this instant and we might be considering sparing your lives. If we are merciful enough, we could even leave you unscathed."The one that looks to be the leader of the beautiful women added in an overbearing manner.She looked down at the group of young warlocks before her before raising her right hand.This seemed to be some sort of hand signal shared among their group.Because right after she gestured that, the rest of the beautiful women behind her loaded an arrow on their bows all at the same time.Then with one swift motion, they all raised their bow and arrow and aimed it towards Audrey's group before pulling the string taut.Ready to receive another signal from their leader to fire up the arrows at any moment.Once they released their hold on those arrows, it will fly straight to Audrey's group and they will be forced to face another r
Meanwhile, one of the sorceresses that have an auburn hair noticed Nero. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a black little cat that was sitting quietly beside the lanky looking warlock. To her surprise, she had a sudden weird feeling that the black cat was actually smiling at her!"Hey look at that weird black cat over there, it is smiling at me!!!!"The sorceress with an auburn hair told the other sorceress that was riding next to her."You need to have your eyes check, darling. You are starting to see things now. Can a cat even smile???""But I swear to Lilith's name, I really saw it smiling at me just a while ago!"The sorceress with an auburn hair tried to explain herself but the other sorceress just smiled at her."It must have been tiring for you, these past few days. Do you think so? Have some rest later on. You need that, okay?""You think so???"The sorceress with the auburn hair was soon convinced
Well, Audrey's group is not having fun either.They urge for Allan to locate the exit of Blood City as soon as possible.But to their dismay, it looks like that even the Nexus Portal can't do their group any help this time.Allan had been trying to access the Nexus Portal for quite some time now, but it seemed like it suddenly stopped working inside the Blood City.It was as if some invisible force was interfering with the Nexus Portal to locate the exit of the place!They might have escaped the encirclement of those sorceresses but they soon found themselves baffled with another problem.They were trapped!!!!And they were not just simply trapBecause a flowing blood-like substance seems to be following behind them as wellNot to mention that there is also a group of sorceresses that was lurking in the area and most likely searching for them as well right now.Ohhh.. just what kind of darned l
The goblet lady did not even seem to look like she was actually capable of hurting a fly, let alone them. She looked like someone who was just around 30 years of age. But considering that sorceresses tend to age slow, guessing their actual age could be a tough nut to crack, itself.The other party was dressed in a long, light blue robe and her collar and cuffs were both trimmed with soft fur. Her robe was covered in shimmering snowflakes and on her head was a hat of fur and snowflakes that looked a little like a crown that sparkled like an icy flame.Her slender and milky-white shoulders were covered with a cape of dark blue and on her feet, she wore embroidered boots. She looked like an enchanting snow princess that came out straight from a children's fairytale book. She has that kind of beauty that can easily topple any cities and nations.She opened and closed her mouth a few more times trying to force out a voice from her throat. The other part
"I'm sorry miss, but I have no other choice but to do this. You have to come back to where you belong."Audrey said as she took out the ancient Goblet.The lady shook her head and tried running away once again but before she could even get away once more, Audrey already extended her hand and tried to grab ahold of the other party.As soon as her hand reached out to the other party a sudden wave of dizziness struck Audrey. Causing her to lost her balance and fall on her knees.For a quick second, she almost thought that she was going to pass out for good."Stay away from her!!!!"She heard someone shouting before a flash of brilliant light shone before her eyes."Help me, please..."Audrey heard a faint voice of a lady and for some reason, she felt like she was missing out on something.Part of her felt disturbed when she heard that pleading tone. But before she could process what was happening to her, obliv
"Ohh... Don't worry about your cat. He was busy eating over there."Allan assured her as he pointed his finger at the corner. There they saw Nero busy pigging out.[Hi there, little lass. I'm over here. Don't worry about me. I am definitely having fun here.]"Yeah sure, you are.."Audrey sneered when she realized that her worry is for nothing. Because apparently, Nero was having the time of his life."What happened back there?? Why did I pass out???"Since it was Nero who was with her at that time, then it would be best to ask him about what happened.Instead of asking her other friends, who most likely knew nothing next to what has actually happened.[Oh yeah, about that. I also find it weird. Because as soon as you touched the lady, I also felt some connection and a splitting headache assaulted me, which is definitely not normal.""Why do you think that it is not normal?"
But of course, no matter how frustrated she was about it, Audrey knew that she cannot tell Professor Sonny what was .running in her mind'Ohh.. If I could just give you an earful! I'll going to give you a piece of my mind. HAIXT!!!'Since Audrey was already dismissed by Professor Sonny, then she no longer has any reason to stay.So even though she still can't understand what's going on in Professor Sonny's mind for asking her to come to his office, she had no other choice but to leave."Oh yeah, by the way. Tell your friend to come here tomorrow morning so I can check what I can do for his spiritual beast."Professor Sonny added before Audrey could step out of the room."Sure thing, Professor Sonny."She said before closing the door behind her.. Then she hurriedly made her way to the boy's dormitory.When she arrived at their dorm she saw that her friends were all gathered in the door waiting for her arri
