The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 110

“Alex, I don’t know how to explain these things. Look, the four elders of the Esbertrazian clan are directly formed from the power of the enchantress and only one of them got married. Our Emmy is the rarest of all. So, there is a high chance of her being inherited with the enchantress’s power”

” So what if she has got the power inherited? What the scariest part of it?”

Master Neshag helplessly looked at Alex. He knew this trait of pride mixed with curiosity, Alex gained it from his mother. Trianna was also like this, she never believed things until solid proof was provided, but she always liked to hear new things and question them.

” The scariest part is not about inheriting power but Emmy didn’t go through any intense training so she won’t be able to control the power correctly and it might harm others. Today, we were actually trying to see whether she would be able to control it or not but we couldn’t see what happened at the entrance properly.”

Alex knew about Emmy’s abnormal behaviour and how powerful she could be at those times so he didn’t argue with master Neshag anymore but he would never allow anyone to hurt her in the future.

Little did he know that in the coming future, Emmy would be hurt and plunged into the state of despair by him only.

” So if she cannot control her power, in case she has any, what are you going to do about it?”

Alex knew what the masters would do in such a situation because that day when he had barged into the dark tower, on the way he had heard the guards mentioning about their elders locking up the princess as she could not control herself. He didn’t want anyone to restrict Emmy, so he wanted to be sure of what these masters were up to.

Neshag contemplated his thoughts for some time, then his expression turned grave.

” There are only two solutions, first, teach Emmy to control her powers and the second.. ”

Even before Neshag could complete, Alex completed his sentence, ” Lock her up with the jade power.”

The Demar brothers were surprised to hear Alex talking about the jade power as it was only known by the top alpha guards and they were sure that Jordan would never disclose such secrets even if Alex was his best buddy.

Mike and Jordan could very well sense that Alex’s mood was turning worse, they hadn’t seen him like this for a very long time. After Emmy came into his life, he never had shown this particular side of him.

The outside freezing temperature was nothing before the cold expression on Alex’s face. Even Neshag who had seen all shades of this young man was astonished by such a fierce expression on his face.

With a dull but threatening sound, Alex enunciated each word on master Neshag’s face.

” I don’t care whether she has the ability to control her powers or not, let me make one thing clear to everyone. She is my woman, the light of my life. No one can hurt her nor force her to do things which she doesn’t accept. Well, if she agrees, then she will take the required training but don’t even think of locking her up when I am alive.”

After saying his piece of mind, Alex strode back to the living area to check on Emmy whereas master Neshag stood there dumbfounded. However, none of the other men felt that Alex had gone overboard as defending their beloved was their priority.

After the youngsters left, master Neshag looked outside the window and sighed, ” Oh, Bryon, your son is just like you. The perfect gentleman towards the people but crueller than any devil to your enemies. Only I have seen your version and now your son can directly threaten me on my face. ”

Soon all the men came back to the living room, Emmy was still unconscious but it felt as if she was sleeping. Alex was sitting beside her quietly holding her hands. He knew that master Neshag wanted to apologize but Alex didn’t give me any face.

” Did you all crack the second clue?”

Jordan shook his head and Janet understood that the discussion the men had was not related to the clue whereas it might be due to the strange questions which Emmy asked.

Mike decided to ease the atmosphere, so he tried to engage everyone in a conversation. Finally, except for the moody Alex and sleeping Emmy, all others felt cheered up before drifting away to sleep.

Only Neshag was left out, he couldn’t sleep at all, in his mind, the scene kept rolling where the woman was crying out loud and asking for a reason for betraying her. Losing a child could make anyone heartbroken but the child being killed by the hands of the same person who was responsible for it, could make anyone go insane.

” How could Maaran not know that the enchantress was carrying his child? Or did he do it even after knowing about the baby?”

Neshag could never accept that Maaran( the great lord) was such a brutally cruel man. No, it won’t be the truth, Maaran didn’t know about it. But in terms of his revenge, he was ready to go to any length to kill those who had killed his family.

Meanwhile, Emmy who was exhausted and tired suddenly felt as if she was falling into a deep hole. After some time, she could open her eyes and she was scared to see blood everywhere. She stumbled and fell down the next second she decided to walk.

Emmy could not believe that the ground was filled with dead bodies and she ran towards the north direction. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt that it might rupture in the following seconds. While running she understood where this place was and this wasn’t any dream. It was the same vision which she had in the morning, so she ran towards the tower near the plunge pool. There she saw the woman more clearly this time, it was the same woman who had called her daughter.

Emmy recognised this woman quickly as it was none other than the great, powerful enchantress who was wailing out loud after getting defeated in the war. Precisely, she wasn’t crying because of losing in the war but at last when the love of life kept a sword over her neck and kicked her hard, asking her to get lost from his life forever.

Emmy walked near to the wailing woman but then Emmy could see that the enchantress quietly stood up and went inside the tower. Emmy followed the crying enchantress and soon reached the second floor of the tower. Inside the room, the enchantress took out a book wrapped in red silk, she wrote something inside it and kept it directly over the table. She then looked over the bed and again cried her heart out.

If it was before then Emmy would not be able to figure out why was the most powerful woman crying over a man but now after being in love with Alex, she knew how painful betrayal can be!

She remembered what the enchantress was murmuring all along –

” This blood is ours… it was you who destroyed the fruit of our love. I know you will love me forever but this sin cannot be washed off from your hands… This fountain you made it here as a token of our love which you had no value of… So from now onwards, let this fountain be empty just like your empty love and sweet nothings. ”

Emmy closed her eyes to let down her tears, then walked over the table to see what the enchantress had scribbled over the book. She reached the table but before opening the book turned to see the crying woman who now lay on the bed hugging the pillows.

Emmy opened the book and was shocked to see what was written inside it. She couldn’t believe that the enchantress had punished her own sister like this and that too with just a limited amount of time. So, how powerful can the enchantress be?

” Well, do you think that whatever she did, I would take it and run away quietly? No way, I will make her pay for all the sins she has committed. I still love Maaren so would not dare to raise even my eyes against him but the sorceress, she would rot inside that place within her lackeys from now on.”

Emmy stood there shocked, she didn’t know to whom was the enchantress talking to. She gulped her saliva and did not know whether to keep the book down or to read the other pages.

” Why are you standing there like a dummy? Read it if you want, anyways you are inside my memories, so there is nothing which I can keep as a secret from you.”

” Can you see me?”
