The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 109

Emmy looked at the astonished master Rotrigues, then she saw the face of Alex blushing like a red tomato. She felt helpless in this situation, she was curious about her vision so without any hesitation, she asked the only person who knew few things about the extent of the relationship between the great lord and the enchantress.

Her question was exactly like this, ” Master you said that after the great lord settled the Esbertrazian clan, he vowed for celibacy and denied the feelings of the enchantress as well as the sorceress. But was he a virgin from the beginning?”

Master Rotrigues was sure that the great lord never had any connections with women after he broke up with the enchantress. As the great lord was an upright man, he must have only played with the enchantress’s feeling and would not dare to take things forward physically. But he was still unsure of the great lord’s connection with Triana and subconsciously, he looked at Alex who was still shy thinking about Emmy’s question.

Seeing master Rotrigues watching Alex with uncertainty, master Neshag knew what was going inside the former’s mind. So before Rotrigues could answer Emmy, he blurted out.

” No, Maaran had no love interests with Triana. Although Triana liked him from childhood, he never even once had seen her through that kind of feelings. He agreed to marry her purely because of the family’s arrangements.”

Neshag defended Alex’s mother properly so Emmy felt respectful towards this person. But when she saw that master Rotrigues’s eyes, she felt that he was hiding something from others.

Seeing Emmy’s gaze on him, master Rotrigues too answered vaguely that the great lord was an upright man so he might have been celibate throughout his life.

“Then what is making your mind curious? Master Rotrigues, I am not doing a chit chat with you two, the answers I require are of great importance, so please don’t hide things any more.”

The sudden change of tone in Emmy silenced the whole group, they were afraid that Emmy might show her indifferent behaviour right now but afterwards nothing much happened.

” Child, it is not that I am hiding something from you, this information is what I had heard of, so I don’t know whether it was true or not. I cannot guarantee the genuinity of this piece of detail.”

“Actually, we are a part of Enchantress’s powers but when she fell in love with the great lord, she made us promise to protect him before her and to stay loyal to him in future. For that she asked us to do the dark clan alpha training. ”

“Alpha training?”

No one had heard about such a training schedule, even the alpha guards of the Esbertrazian clan haven’t gone through such training. So Jordan and the Demar brothers were quite shocked to hear about such a training schedule in their clan.

Looking at the questioning faces of his disciples, master Rotrigues stood up. He walked to the windows and let in the cold air inside for some time. Then after closing the windows, he waved his hands, a faint black smoke arose from the ground. At once, both Alex and Juliet were startled as they remembered the black swirling mist at that moment.

” This is the alpha training space, I can show you only the images which are stored inside my memories as this space is exclusively under the enchantress’s power. She created this space and only we four were trained in it. If she had informed us about the war and let us out that day, we would have won for sure. But for the sake of protecting him, she locked us up. We four didn’t know what was happening outside. After 3 months of the brutal war, one day she opened the portal and we were not the teenagers anymore who went inside the portal.”

” Seeing her state, we felt devastated but more we hated her for being selfish. We thought that she had let down her people because of her love and we joined the forces with the great lord as per her choice. So mentally we didn’t have any emotional baggage for leaving her on her own way.”

By this time, when everyone was deeply focused on the illusion staged by master Rotrigues, Emmy had clenched her fists and tears pooled up inside her. A voice wanted to shout out from inside her body, but Emmy controlled it. Emmy could feel her hands were turning unusually cold but her mind was getting sharper. After hearing what the voice was saying, Emmy closed her eyes and the voice was silenced.

When Emmy opened her eyes, her cold hands were already warmed by someone and that person was rubbing her feet. Alex who was rubbing her feet felt water on his shoulders and as he looked up, it was his beloved’s tears. Emmy couldn’t bother much about her friends nor the masters, she kissed Alex on his head. Alex was also happy but a bit shy and continued to warm her feet.

Rotrigues who saw these actions was happy for this couple. But he then continued,

” After the great lord was bedridden due to sudden sickness, he called the sorceress and the enchantress together to talk about an heir. Not biologically, but with powers. Don’t know then what happened, till the day Emmy had told her guesses we thought that our princess was born out of the three powers but now we are sure that it was just the powers of the great lord and the enchantress ”

Hearing the last words, suddenly Alex turned emotional. He couldn’t control his anger towards the great lord anymore. Alex believed in Emmy’s visions so he was sure that the great lord was not much of an upright man as these masters were suggesting.

” Upright man… he was a cruel selfish man. I cannot think of any other shameless man who once killed his own child and then again went begging to give him another child from the same woman. God is great that he got his punishment soon.”

” What did you say, Alex?”

” Alex, don’t dare to disrespect the great lord!”

Both of the masters shouted at the same time. They wouldn’t swallow any contempt towards that person. Before both masters could vent their anger on Alex, Emmy stood up. Her manners were like a powerful lady and the rage in her eyes was like she returned from war after killing thousands of people.

” What did he say wrong, masters? Don’t think that what you both know, is the whole truth. Today, when you were watching me while hiding, do you know what I was doing? I had a vision of a woman wailing out loud, sitting in a pool of blood and just asking what wrong she did that her own child was killed but the same person who fathered it. Do you all want to see that pain? ”

Emmy opened her clenched fists and then a dark black swirl raised up from the ground and then it showed the same scene as what she saw near the fountains. Master Neshag and master Rotrigues were shell-shocked whereas the youngsters felt their blood was boiling. They couldn’t believe a woman could love a person this much that she never blamed him whereas that man had torn open her heart and stabbed it in all angles. Not just the young men, the women folks also couldn’t accept another woman to bear such a pain.

Just as the woman’s face was going to be seen, Emmy collapsed. As Alex was standing just next to her, he held her safely. Juliet used her powers to put water over Emmy’s face but there was no response.

” Juliet wet a towel for me and keep it over her feet. She will be fine after she takes rest.”

Janet swiftly went to fetch a towel whereas Juliet made it wet and did as told by Alex.

” How can it be true? Our enchantress was in such a pain and we misunderstood her. She had fought for us but what did we do to her…”

Master Rotrigues finally choked on his words. He wanted to meet Lathodore and Miandrake now. Without wasting any time nor explaining anything to the group, he left them asking Neshag to look after them.

Master Neshag could not believe his eyes as he was wondering how powerful Emmy be if she was able to use the black visionary power.

After asking the women to look after Emmy, he asked the men to assemble near the staircase.

” Alex, I accept that no one could never accept such pain and although it was a blurry image, I am sure that it was the enchantress on the day after the battle. But I am scared about Emmy.”

” Why are you scared of her?”

Neshag still didn’t know how to explain it, even if a five percent of the real powers that the enchantress had was transferred into the prodigy of the four guardians, then it would result in a catastrophe.
